Chapter 683 The Price of Being an Honest Person

Steinbel endured for a long time but still didn't hold back, and said angrily: "Can you stop walking around in front of me, it's really an eyesore."

"I go my way, you knock on your handrail, we don't cross the river, why should I listen to you."

Stanbel was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously stopped tapping his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I know you're anxious, but walking back and forth like this makes me anxious too."

Creston said, "Aren't you going to feel anxious if I don't go?"

Steinbell was speechless.

In fact, it is not only the two of them who are anxious, but also the commander of the Obsidian Fleet, Carter Buonarroti, and the governor of "Adia" Buffel, and even Kyrenia, who has always been calm, has been in a trance for the past few days. .

No matter how powerful Tang Fang is, he will never be able to contend with a force. He may be able to fight his way out and survive in this turbulent world, but the people of the Duchy of Kenar have no way to escape from the place where they lived and grew up. Who will protect them? Who will save them?

The young officers did not dare to speak, they lowered their heads and listened quietly to the childish quarrel between the two generals.

At this moment, an intelligence officer stood up and said, "General, the detector detected a large-scale warp velocity anomaly at a position of 305/202, only 5 kilometers away from the military port...."

"What!" Creston stopped.

Stumble also stood up from the sofa with a shocked expression on his face.

To be able to break through the warp speed interception network of the frontier defense, and to be detected by the detectors only when it got close to Golding Naval Port, in the past, only Captain Tang's biological battleship could do it, but now it is either the "Morning Star" or the Behemoth. It is impossible to appear here.

If not them, then who?

The same thought also flashed in Creston's mind: "Could it be the Supreme Security Council?"

It is well known that Bulwell and the hybrid warship were killed by Tang Fang, and those who opposed the reformist faction in the Duchy of Kenal would not guarantee that they would report to the Supreme Security Council and request a new hybrid warship to come here for revenge.

Stumble's face became ugly, if it was really a hybrid warship. Without Tang Fang's help, they would be like sheep at the mercy of others.

"what to do?"

Before he could come up with a countermeasure,

The curvature line on the indicator connected to the detector fluctuated violently, accompanied by a short alarm sound.

On the other side, a silver light flashed on the No. 2 large screen that had been synchronized with the corresponding optical camera, and a spaceship with a body length of more than 800 meters jumped out of the originally dark and deep void out of thin air.

In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to call it a spaceship. It is more like a miniature version of the space station. From a distance, it looks like a mottled and disabled octopus, because its tentacles vary in length and style.

If you look closely, you can find that those tentacles are not ship facilities. They are spaceships of different sizes, including large shuttles, cargo ships, engineering ships, and unknown combat ships.

Especially in the core area, the surface of the gray-black armor is flowing with azure light, which is very dazzling.

Steinbel didn't exclaim for the unknown spaceship like those young people, he paid all his attention to the details. Efforts were made to find features consistent with V-00-type phagosomes.

And...he didn't find it.

The surface of the strangely shaped spaceship did not have any signs of a hybrid battleship.

That must not be the "Morning Star", and naturally it cannot be Behemoth, nor is it a hybrid warship. Who would that be?

Just as the small fleet patrolling outside the military port was about to turn around and face off, and some space-based unmanned defense platforms also switched to alert postures, the communications officer reported an emergency and requested access to communications.

When Creston walked in front of the big screen No. 3, the screen flashed, and Tang Fang's calm face appeared in front of everyone.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as time stopped for a few seconds.

The oppressive atmosphere came and went quickly. Distracted by the exclamation of the young people, no one thought that Captain Tang's face would appear on the big screen. That's obviously not the "Morning Star", not Behemoth, and the "Seraphim" is also staying at the dock obediently. Why did he appear on that strangely shaped spaceship?

Shotgun for cannon?

Captain Tang's flagship has been upgraded from a dwelling to a villa?

Steinbel was very helpless. On the one hand, he was shocked by its warp speed, and on the other hand, he was speechless at the fact that this kid was always so unexpected: "Where did you get such a spaceship?"

Tang Fang blinked: "Steal it."

The flesh on Creston's face trembled, and he said in surprise, "You really went to 'Georgia' to save people? Or did you just fancy someone else's warship?"

This kid has always been shrewd, but what he did in "Georgia" was shocking. Compared to Captain Tang self-destructing the city wall, he is more willing to accept "door-to-door robbery under the banner of saving people", which is in line with that little fox's usual behavior Act in style.

Tang Fang said: "This...really not."

Creston said, "I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either," Stembell said.

Even the young officers showed disdainful expressions and thought he was lying.

The core of the strangely shaped spaceship is clearly the relic of Ypsilon. The "Seraphim" and "Angel" in Captain Tang's hands are also the relic of Ipsilon. God knows what method he used. , These things that should have been lying in the research institute for others to disassemble have all been turned into important combat forces.

On the other side of the display screen is an 800-meter-long Ypsilon ruins. It is perfectly normal to start a war for such a thing. There is really no need to cover up and lie to your own people.

His massacre of the nobles was indeed a bit cruel, but considering how Suerbaqiao treated Meng Haoyu and McDowell, most of the nobles deserved it.

Of course, killing so many people is always wrong, because there are too many sanctimonious people in this world who like to stand on the moral high ground and condemn others in order to establish their own prestige, or concoct hot topics for personal gain. Even just for self-indulgence.

Therefore, he had to have a suitable excuse. For example, Bai Hao and Roy fell into the hands of Tripathi, and their lives and deaths were unknown, in order to save his little brother. Even if he tries to offend the fence-sitting faction, he will send troops to "Georgia".

When they contacted each other last time, they clearly saw Bai Hao talking and laughing with Roy and others, but nothing happened at all.

They understood why Captain Tang said that to the outside world, it was nothing more than to add a layer of emotion to his banditry behavior, so that people would feel sympathy and admiration. Minimize the negative impact of the Holocaust.

There is really no need for him to lie to his own people, really...all the confidantes of Stanbel and Creston present here are mostly civilian officers from poor backgrounds. Wriggling like maggots, white flowers and bloated bodies lying on the people, sucking blood and sweat, deserve death. For what he did, he would only applaud and cheer, and he would never express disgust.

Therefore, he really didn't have to hide it, and openly admitted how good the "robbery" was.

Looting the property of the nobles and then killing the group of vampires is obviously a very satisfying thing.

Steinbel asked: "What is the origin of this spaceship? Is it also the remains of Epsilon?"

"Yes." A smug smile appeared on the corner of Tang Fang's mouth: "'Zuo Angel', my new flagship... a military port, which can accommodate 12 medium-sized ships, 20 small ships, and a certain number of aerospace fighters, Equipped with a more powerful Starlight Shield than the Aurora Shield, and a warp level as high as 9.95."

"Hiss..." He said every word. There was a sound of air-conditioning coming from the equipment pool.

What these functions mean means that it will become an indestructible and invincible fortress, stronger, faster and safer than the "Morning Star". Owning such a warship is every young man's dream.

It's so powerful, it's beyond imagination!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the slowly approaching weird aircraft on the big screen No. 2, and the emotions of shock and envy were intertwined with blank faces.

"I still don't admit that you have premeditated." Creston said angrily, "Quan Angel... Seraphim... Sea Angel. I bet you must have thought of the name before you do it."

A staff officer said: "I should have thought of it earlier. How could this guy be so stupid, he is simply a little fox."

A captain muttered: "If you want me, I will grab it. Even if I kill twice as many nobles."

"You really don't need to lie to us." Steinbel said: "We will stand by you no matter what, the thing I hate the most in my life is those guys who are used to kidnapping others morally, so...you really don't need to use that Shut our mouths."

"Why don't you believe it? Why don't you believe it? I really went to save people..."

Tang Fang was very wronged, really wronged, and there was a lot of helplessness and melancholy.

To tell the truth, no one would believe it. What happened in this world?

It's not that the world is collapsing, but that when such words come out of his mouth, no one will believe them.

"Things have come to this point, are you still going to stick to those lies?" Creston said, "You cunning boy, stop acting in front of us old guys, okay?"

Tang Fang's lips twitched a few times, and he sighed forcefully: "Okay, you guys won, I just went there to snatch other people's spaceship."

Creston gave a look you should have admitted.

Stanbel showed an expression that knowing that a mistake can make things better.

The others showed an expression that you too underestimated our IQ.

Therefore, Captain Tang could only be speechless.

Not only was he speechless, but Claire, Aros, Roy and others behind him were also speechless.

Howson hugged his belly and laughed until he cramped.

Bai Hao made a mask out of dark particles. He thought that people wouldn't know he was smiling if he covered his face.

"In this world... as expected, honest people can't survive." After disconnecting from the command center, Captain Tang complained bitterly.

Claire said: "Don't worry, you will live a good life."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Are you honest?"

"Aren't I honest... What do you all look at?"

………………

The "Angel" berthed into a fully enclosed pier in Golding Naval Port. Tang Fang, Claire and others got down from above, and immediately met with Stanbel and the others.

It wasn't until they saw the diamond-shaped crystals on the foreheads of Linglong and Yingluo that the two old guys believed that he was indeed telling the truth.

Of course, this is not the main issue. The main issue is what now?

Tang Fang's return gave them a reassurance, but when they thought of the dangerous situation in the United Kingdom of Turanx, they were still full of anxiety, and they didn't know what to do to turn things around and get out of the predicament.

it is a pity. They didn't get any useful information from Captain Tang, and Tang Fang finally asked.

"Want to play more crazy?"

Stumble accidentally bit his own tongue, his old painful face huddled together.

Creston slipped under the chair. Only Lieutenant General Carter had a slight ripple on his quiet face, and asked, "How do you play?"

"wait."

Steinbell covered his cheek with his right hand, patted the table without grace, cursed and left.

"I knew it was going to be this way," Creston said.

Carter Buonarotti stood up, putting his general hat on his hairless head. Turn around and walk outside.

Creston didn't move, and waited for the security door to close before looking at Tang Fang's face, and asked solemnly: "That...Miss Elena's matter, do you want to think about it?"

Tang Fang shook his head helplessly: "It really doesn't have to be like this. Since I said I will take care of this matter, I will take care of it to the end."

He knew what Creston and Stanbel were worried about.

The political storm in the United Kingdom of Turanx is approaching its breaking point. If he withdraws at this time, what awaits "Aradelle" will be a fatal end.

If he agrees to marry Eileen, the Duchy of Kenar and "Morning Star Foundry" will become one and become the joint property of him and Eileen. At that time, he wanted to keep "Aradelle" out of consideration of emotion, reason and profit.

Perhaps such a political marriage is disgusting. What's more, Elena is still an underage girl, but for the old duke's unfinished business of reform, as well as the future of the people in the territory. Creston et al. had to do this.

They had to choose between the United Kingdom of Turanx and Tang Fang. It is true that if they defected now, they could easily be accepted by Praise Will, as long as they chanted the slogan "Down with Tang Fang", they might even be able to increase their ranks in the future and enter the kingdom's great aristocratic class.

But after that? Anthem will marginalize them bit by bit. To be sent to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for the elderly...or it is more appropriate to describe it as a gentle exile.

The reform pace of "Aradelle" is not only hindered, but also regressed.

They witnessed the battle between Tang Fang and the hybrid battleship. He also has a certain degree of understanding of the strength of the biological battleship, although on the surface it seems that Captain Tang is unable to compete with it. But I don't know why, but I am full of hope and confidence in him.

However, just making a choice is not enough. The safest and surest way is to tie the entire Duchy of Kenar to the "Morning Star Forging" train. This requires an unbreakable bond.

They couldn't give him enough benefits, so they could only choose this lame but effective method.

"Eileen is a person, I will respect her, and I hope you can respect her."

Creston was silent for a moment, and said: "Although I don't know what you are going to do, but... I will trust you unconditionally, support you, and... follow you."

"Thank you." Tang Fang said, looking into his eyes.

Creston walked away, moving quickly and slowly, as if he had sprained his ankle when he slipped under the chair.

"What were you talking about just now?" Claire obediently saved the question until the end.

"It's nothing." Tang Fang thinks it's better to keep it a secret from her. A woman's heart is the most difficult thing to figure out. Even Claire, who is known for her gentleness, can't guarantee that she won't get a little emotional.

It's just that he underestimated the ingenuity of women, especially in such matters. They are smarter than the shrewdest detective, more alert than the most vigilant sentinel.

"No, why do I hear something different?" The girl looked at his blank face and said, "Is he engaging in a political marriage?"

Tang Fang was taken aback, thinking, is it true that a woman's sixth sense is so strong that it breaks through the sky? It's really scary that she can hear the hidden doorway from the few conversations just now.

"Hehe...hehehe..." He laughed dryly and said, "Anxin, I'm not interested in poor breasts."

Claire looked down at her breasts, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, she was still very satisfied with her body.

"Don't all of you men have a heart that loves loli? You have a delicate body, a soft waist, and are easy to push down."

Tang Fang was silent for a moment, and said righteously, "That's a crime."

Claire looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't the more taboo the more exciting?"

Tang Fang looked at her in horror: "Who did you learn this from?"

"You." She told him seriously, "I'm just standing in your position and expressing what's in your heart."

The environmental indicator showed that the current indoor temperature was 26 degrees Celsius, but he felt a gust of cold wind blowing over him, chilling his heart and heating his face until it turned red.

"Claire, can we discuss something?"

"I'm listening."

"Never say such things in front of outsiders in the future."

The girl's smile trembled wildly: "Aren't you always thick-skinned?"

"You dare to tease me?" He was furious, grabbed those snow-white hands, approached her ears, and said slowly: "It has nothing to do with the face, it has to do with the occasion."

"Is it related to the occasion?" The girl was puzzled.

"Of course, this kind of topic is only suitable for discussion on one occasion."

"What occasion."

"Want to know?"

Claire stared at his face for a while, suddenly wanted to understand something, gritted her teeth and said, "You scoundrel."

"I can swear to God, it's absolutely not broken, it's original, it's been running for 25 years without a problem, believe me...you check it yourself."

"Don! Fang!" She roared vigorously, "Your mouth is still so annoying." After speaking, she fled out of the room. (to be continued)
