Chapter 174 A Call From Admiral Nico
Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li seemed a little crazy, Lin Dengwan stepped forward and grabbed his hand, his voice choking slightly.
"Lieutenant Colonel! Save the green mountains! You can go back to Earth!"
In the more than a year since the seventh domain was launched, although Lin Dengwan and Gu Li did not have a deep relationship, they were both soldiers and comrades-in-arms, and Lin Dengwan did not want to see Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li die here.
Duan Ming had a smile on his face, even a little provocative. He hoped that Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li could be a little crazier, so that he could never have trouble again.
Perhaps because of Lin Dengwan's heartfelt words, Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li gradually put down his gun.
"Yes, you are right."
Captain Lin Dengwan also breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand, but at this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li raised his gun again and pulled the trigger at Duan Ming!
"Bang!"
Two gunshots sounded almost at the same time. Colonel Gu Li's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with reluctance on his face. The one who shot him was a trembling ordinary soldier.
On the other side, Colonel Gu Li's pistol also fired, but Duan Ming stood there intact, and in front of him were several thick metal plates.
Before coming to the military headquarters this time, Duan Ming selected some hard metal ores from his family and compressed them into a small steel ball the size of a glass ball, which he carried with him in case of emergency.
Just as Colonel Gu Li pulled the trigger, Duan Ming controlled the small steel ball to become a thick iron plate, blocking the laser beam.
Lin Dengwan looked at the scene in front of him, standing there with a deathly pale face, and his expression was a little sad.
Seeing this, Councillor Jian waved his hand, indicating that the soldiers should take Colonel Gu Li's body out. Only Duan Ming and three others were left in the entire conference room.
"Congratulations, Captain Lindenwan... No! Lieutenant Colonel Lindenwan!"
After a long pause, Lindenwan took a deep breath and looked up at Duan Ming. From Lindenwan's eyes, there was a little fear.
"Master Duan, you should be congratulated. Your goal has been achieved. From now on, no one in the Seventh Domain will dare to go against you."
Duan Ming smiled and said, "A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. Those who accomplish great things cannot be soft-hearted. Captain, the Seventh Domain is where my Duan family rose, and it is also where you rose. In the future, your military rank will continue to rise!"
Councilman Jian stood up and walked towards the door while speaking.
"The matter is done, and I should return to Earth to report. The future belongs to you young people. Young people should still value peace!"
Councilman Jian reminded Captain Lindenwan before leaving that if they stay in the status quo, they will be safe.
Seeing Councillor Jian leave, Duan Ming also moved his shoulders, and the thick metal plate in front of him turned into a small steel ball again.
"Captain, in the future in the Seventh Domain, my Duan family still hopes that the captain will take good care of us!"
After saying that, Duan Ming walked out the door, but just as he reached the door, Captain Lindenwan's voice sounded behind him.
"Master Duan, will you treat me like you treated Colonel Gu Li today?"
Duan Ming paused and answered without turning his head.
"For friends, my Duan family will always be sincere, and for enemies, my Duan family will kill them all. As for whether they are enemies or friends, I believe the captain has his own choice."
After leaving the military headquarters, Duan Ming returned to the back of the wind blade beast, but did not return to the Duan family headquarters immediately. Instead, he stood here and looked at the asteroid for a long time.
This trip was smoother than Duan Ming expected. As Captain Lindenwan said, from today on, the entire Seventh Domain has only one master, and that is him, Duan Ming!
...
Half a month later, hundreds of buildings had been built on the back of the Fire Rock Beast, the tallest of which had more than 20 floors. More than half of the pioneers in the Seventh Domain became residents of the Fire Rock Beast.
Some of them directly gave up the development base, while others controlled the development base to go out to mine metal mines during the day and returned to their homes on the Fire Rock Beast to rest at night.
More than a dozen branches of enterprises and families have settled in the Fire Rock Beast, which greatly meets the daily needs of its residents, and entertainment facilities are also being further built.
Duan Ming's three-story villa is now a well-known existence on the Fire Rock Beast. Although the villa is not as tall as a high-rise building, the owner of this villa is the overlord of the Seventh Domain.
Lying on the rocking chair, Duan Ming is very satisfied with the current development speed, and it is time to start his next plan.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
Just as Duan Ming was thinking about this, a voice call request rang. The number was very unfamiliar and had never been contacted before.
The call was connected, Duan Ming did not speak first, and the other party was also silent.
A full minute later, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.
"Master Duan?"
This voice gave people an invisible pressure. Duan Ming could vaguely feel that the person on the other end of the call was definitely the controller of a certain force.
"I am Duan Ming, who are you?"
The other party did not directly answer Duan Ming's question, but continued to ask.
"I heard that Master Duan is busy developing trade in the Seventh Domain recently. I wonder if Master Duan has ever thought about letting trade go beyond the Seventh Domain?"
Duan Ming frowned slightly, his mind turned rapidly, and after a moment, the image of a statue appeared in his mind.
"Admiral Nico?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the call, and hearty laughter came from the call.
"As expected of the Duan family leader who has unified the seventh domain, I am the admiral of Nigu Star Port!"
After receiving the other party's confirmation, Duan Ming was startled. Before he made a move to the Sixth Domain, the other party had already contacted him first. Could it be that he had the same plan?
Being able to become the overlord of a star region is more or less ambitious. In fact, not only Admiral Nico of the sixth domain, but also several other neighboring star domains also have this idea.
After all, the seventh domain has the shortest time to develop and is theoretically the weakest. If the seventh domain can be annexed, no one will miss this opportunity.
"I'm really flattered that Admiral Nico suddenly came to see me! I wonder what the Admiral's orders are?"
Duan Ming placed his position under Admiral Nico, not because Duan Ming was not confident, but because he wanted to make the other party underestimate the enemy.
"I dare not tell you, but it will be my 40th birthday in ten days. I would like to invite the Duan family master to come to our Nigu star port as a guest and talk about the trade between the two star regions. I wonder if the Duan family master can do it? "
At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Even if he knew it was a "Hongmen Banquet", Duan Ming could not refuse the opponent.
"Admiral Nico invites you, so I, Duan Ming, will naturally go."
"Hahaha! Okay! In ten days, I will be waiting for Master Duan's arrival at Nicoxing Port!"
