Chapter 335 Hall Star
It was not until late at night that Li Meng said goodbye to Mrs. Evely and left the back courtyard.
"grown ups!"
As soon as he left the gate of the back courtyard, Li Meng saw Randolph outside the door.
He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Randolph?"
Seeing Randolph waiting outside the door, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Meng's eyes.
Smiling slightly, Li Meng asked: "What's the matter? You're still not resting so late. What's wrong?"
Randolph chuckled and stepped forward.
"I heard that your Excellency is back, so I wanted to come and take a look. There are some things I want to ask Your Excellency."
Li Meng more or less guessed what Randolph wanted to ask.
"Let's go, talk as we go."
In the long corridor, the two walked side by side.
"Sir, is my mother doing something that I don't know about?"
Although his mother told him nothing.
But his mother's frequent contact with Mr. Li Meng made Randolph think of something.
"Since she chose not to tell you, why do you keep asking? Even if you knew, you couldn't do anything."
After all, Randolph was just a second-generation man with power and wealth.
Everything he has was given by his mother.
Perhaps considering that Randolph would not be of any help to what Mrs. Evely wanted to do, Mrs. Evely did not tell her son.
Hearing this, Randolph showed a clear look on his face.
As expected, my mother is plotting something with the adults.
"Don't think too much. What your mother did is not harmful to you. Be your eldest master honestly and don't let your mother be distracted. This is the most important thing you should do now. Leave the rest to you. Give it to your mother and me."
The predecessors cut trees, and the descendants take advantage of the shade. Mrs. Evely's role is probably the former.
Due to the long lifespan of the Apocalypse clan, Randolph's time will only be later.
"Sir, you really can't say it?"
Randolph wanted to know too much.
Curiosity can kill people and make people do some stupid things involuntarily.
In the end, Li Meng did not tell Randolph.
There was no way he could tell Randolph.
This was a matter between their mother and son, so naturally he, an outsider, couldn't say much.
——
Among the vast stars, there is a star system.
It has multiple names. According to the official Tianyi clan, it is called the sequence 987145 star system.
There is a planet in the star system called Hall's star.
Hall is a Mercury, and land only covers 5% of the planet's surface.
It always rains on Hall Star, and the sky is always covered with a thick layer of dark clouds.
There is only about a month of clear skies in the year.
Hall Star is also the territory of the Elek family of the Tianyi Tribe.
On a large island, there is a splendid building.
It is very majestic and luxurious, just like a palace.
Only the sky above the palace was clear, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be dispersed by something.
"Iron Hands? What did they do again?"
In a certain hall, Tyler Elek was sitting on the throne, looking at the tribesmen half-kneeling on the ground in the hall.
"It's a distress signal. The Iron Hands were attacked by unknown forces. Planet Dole has fallen and the headquarters has been occupied by the enemy."
Hearing this, Taylor frowned slightly.
Over the years, the Iron Hands have grown a lot with the support of the Elek family.
It has established a great reputation throughout the Dark Star Territory.
Who would trouble the Iron Hand?
Could it be other Yier tribe or Tianqi tribe?
"Master, the remaining forces of the Iron Hands are gathering. We can send a fleet to recover the planet Dole with them."
"No, pirates are pirates after all. We can't openly send fleets to support them. Tell Alcott and let him find mercenaries. We will provide certain financial support."
Taylor rejected the suggestions of his subordinates without hesitation.
Alek is a big family, and how can such an unflattering thing as having a pirate group be exposed?
"Master, we have no news about Olcott. He was in the base when Planet Doyle fell. He may have died, or he may have become a prisoner. In short, we cannot contact Olcott now."
Alcott lost?
Taylor's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Alcott, that stupid fool, Doyle didn't say anything about it, but he also got himself into it.
If you lose your base, you can get it back.
If he, the leader, is gone, the Iron Hands will be in disarray.
The people below will not obey anyone, and they have no ability to gather the remaining forces together.
How to do?
The expression on his face changed, and finally, Taylor made a decision.
"Forget it, don't do anything, just wait and see what happens."
It's just a pirate group. It's tasteless to the Elek family and it's a pity to abandon it.
Although it can effectively attack opponents, it disgusts the enemies of the Elek family.
But the effect is not great. Merchant ships travel in super-light space, and a slight deviation will cause a yaw of several light years.
The success rate of interception is less than 30%, and it is very time-consuming.
Although the Iron Hands have rich experience, they have made great achievements in plundering enemy merchant ships in recent years.
But its own destructive power is not low either.
After all, merchant ships all have escort warships, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Iron Hands, Olcott spent a lot of money over the years.
Faced with the money flowing to the Iron Hands one after another, Taylor had the idea of giving up the Iron Hands many times.
Now we can use this incident to completely cut off the connection with the Iron Hand Group.
"Yes!"
——
Since Li Meng left Doer Star, some things happened around the Iron Hand Group that outsiders did not know.
But the ending made the situation on Doer Star quite stable.
The Sayaha Pirates occupied Doer Star, and they were on high alert, waiting for the enemy's revenge.
However, the expected defensive battle did not happen.
In the following months, no enemy came.
It seems that the destruction of the Iron Hand Group has become a foregone conclusion.
No one is willing to water and fertilize a dead tree.
Time passed quietly.
On Qiwu Star, the Pan-Galactic United States also ushered in a period of peaceful development.
S-91928 Star System, Qiwu Star.
Since the Pan-Galactic United States came to Qiwu Star, two years have passed unknowingly.
In these two years, the S-91928 Star System is quite peaceful.
During this period, no foreign spacecraft arrived, indicating that the star system where Qi Wuxing is located is relatively remote in the dark star field.
This is indeed the case.
The S-91928 star system is not only remote, but also extremely scarce in resources.
Although common metal minerals are not lacking.
But the reserves of rare minerals are extremely small.
It is not that there are none, but either it is extremely difficult to mine, and it is ten thousand meters underground.
Or the reserves are small, mining is difficult, and it is not worth starting construction at all.
