The Cat and the King [Interstellar]

Chapter 1: The Wilderness

When the first battleship broke through the clouds, this wild land ushered in a new guest.The leader of the wolf pack let out a mournful roar towards the sky, which was the horn of the gathering of the wolves in the barren land.

"Report! The First Fleet landed smoothly!"

Lehman turned off the communication after receiving the report from his subordinates, and looked at the energy bar displayed by the optical brain of the main ship. Their energy was running low.

This area is the border area between the two countries. Due to the complex environment of the universe, there are many desolate stars and most of them have not been developed, so it is not easy to be tracked and found. Lehman chose one of the target desolate stars to land here.

They need to find enough energy here to support the return to the nearest habitable star of the empire.

"Major General, what should we do next?" asked a flat-headed guard. He had been with Lehman for some years. Although this general was only 24 or [-] years old, he was stable and capable. General Mann was also able to lead them out of the woods.

The entire fleet was tracked, and they were said to be pirates, but the well-trained posture was probably caused by the federal army on the border. However, the fleet had just finished its mission and lacked energy, so it had no choice but to choose to hide.

Sitting in front of the main console is the owner of this battleship, Lehman, the captain of the First Fleet of the Empire. He looked at the barren planet in front of him with his slender hands clasped together, as if he was thinking, his eyes were calm and stable, The black warship uniform perfectly fits the strong body, and the pair of long legs are placed in a very regular manner. As the heir from a big family, Lehman has always been strict with himself, and he has not been infected with any dandyism.

"If the notification continues, the battleship will stop power supply, and everything that needs energy will be shut down." Lehman picked up the gentleman's stick leaning against the main console and stood up, giving the first order to reach the deserted star.

The purpose of stopping the power supply is very simple. One is to save energy and use the little power left in the battleship to find new energy and transform it. The other is to find the traitor.

There are ghosts in the fleet, otherwise the group of "pirates" would not have just passed the route they planned, and they just happened to catch up with the time when the entire battleship needed energy supplies most.Cutting off the power naturally means cutting off that person's connection with the outside world.

No one dared to question the captain's order. The machines of the entire battleship stopped operating in just a few minutes. As dusk approached, there was less than an hour before they would be plunged into darkness.

The pack of wolves is getting closer. It is the dry season of the wild star. Every piece of food is hard-won. It needs the cooperation of the whole wolf pack to complete it. They have been hungry for two days. The landing of the battleship has brought a trace of life to the wild star. At the same time, it also brought hope to the hungry and red-eyed wolves.

They know those big guys, when the door is open there's food inside, lots and lots of... food.

The pack of wolves squatted outside, enduring the rumbling stomachs and the biting cold wind of the starry night. The beasts of the starry star have never been impatient when it comes to predation, because the prey that squatted for a day may be caught in the eyelids if they are not careful. It's time to test your patience...

The people inside the battleship were also uncomfortable. The spaceship with the ventilation system turned off was too stuffy, and the long dark night became a kind of whipping and test for the soul.Three or two guards sat at the door of the hatch, breathing fresh air through the narrow vents.

"Let's open the hatch, it's really uncomfortable inside." Someone suggested.

"Shut up, the captain is holding back like us, why are you so busy..." Another guard whispered.

From their angle, they could just see Lehman sitting alone in the narrow operating room with his eyes closed, keeping calm even in such a thin air situation.Two slender hands rested casually on the cane, calm as if asleep.

There are many dangers lurking in the dark night of the barren star, so Lehman issued an order not to open the hatch until dawn. In order to preserve strength, it is forbidden to leave the spaceship for activities at night.

But there are recalcitrants in every army, even here.

It was only an hour before dawn, and the non-commissioned officer left the cabin door to deploy the next operation. A guard who couldn't hold back quietly opened the cabin door a small hole...

The wolves will never be the only ones looking for food in the wilderness. A leopard is quietly lurking in the distance. She has never liked the kind of guys who get together in groups, but occasionally when she is very hungry, she will treat them as her own. After all, there is no creature faster than her in this land, as long as she is willing, there is nothing she can't achieve.

The so-called praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, while the leopard's target is the hungry wolves.

When the light of dawn was about to illuminate the land, the hatch of the spaceship was opened a small opening, and the wolves moved.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The wailing sound awakened the surrounding guards in an instant. They saw that their companion's arm seemed to be torn outward by an invisible force outside the cabin. The door slammed halfway open.A wolf squeezed its claws and mouth ferociously and quickly dragged the guard who opened the door out. The blood was sprayed on the faces of others, but it was too late to mourn and was about to go into battle.

The fighters in the fleet are all professionally trained, and their body's defense functions tell them that if they don't take action quickly, they will all die here.

Lehman also woke up, or he has not fallen asleep, suffering from severe insomnia, so he can only rely on short rest and nutritional supplements to maintain his life, he stood up and walked to the door, holding a gentleman's stick in his hand It pierced through the brain of a wolf like a sharp blade, and then grabbed the handle of the cabin door and closed it, instantly cutting another wolf struggling to enter into two pieces, and other guards also dealt with the other wolves that entered. In just 5 minutes In time, the spaceship regained its silence.

Except for the corpses and blood on the ground, it seemed like nothing happened in the battleship.

Lehman scanned the crowd expressionlessly, and only frowned slightly when his eyes moved to the blood stains on the ground.

"Clean up the ground and hand over the wolf's body to the kitchen."

He has a serious cleanliness fetish, and the soldiers were not at all surprised by Lehman's request.

"Before that, everyone go to the window." Lehman added after thinking for a while.

There is nothing outside the window, except for the wolves and the guard who was dragged out just now. At this moment, he is being eaten by the hungry wolves.

The purpose of Lehman letting them watch is very simple, that is to let them remember the fate of violating military orders.

Not every time it will be so lucky. Although the hatch was opened this time, not all the wolves could enter, and only a few of them were injured, but what about next time?What if it's not a pack of wolves but a more terrifying enemy?

Nothing can make people grow like bloody facts.

"Look there!" A guard suddenly called out.

In the wilderness, a cheetah took off its disguise and rushed towards the wolves. It was a very beautiful leopard. Although it could be seen that it was a bit old, its fighting power was definitely not low. She swung it fiercely. The head bit off the throat of a wolf on the periphery and held it tightly, and a pair of menacing eyes stared at the pack of wolves that were going to surround them because of the change here.

A low growl in the throat, this is a threat, either the wolves will leave with their prey, or a few more mates will be picked up.

This is an easy multiple-choice question. Animals in the wilderness are always good at this kind of question of survival of the fittest, but today the wolves seemed to be inspired. They roared back at the female leopard, and the encirclement gradually narrowed.

"Come alone, it seems that this leopard is going to confess here today..." Before the guard finished speaking, something suddenly fell from the window.

They said it was a thing because they were too fast to see clearly. When the thing landed, they were surprised to find that it was a person, a human being just like them.

He jumped off the top of the spaceship, and appeared behind a wolf in a hunting posture like a wild beast. The wolf's throat was firmly clamped by the braided noose, and a piece of fur was wrapped around his strong and slender body. His movements were capable and elegant. Methodically, he used a hole on the top of the battleship as a fulcrum to hang the wolf up, and let out a long howl at the wolves not far away.

The hierarchy of the wolves is stricter than imagined, the leader is always the first to eat, and the one who is hanging up at this moment is the commander of the wolves.

The capture of the leader was a huge blow to the wolves, and they finally chose to retreat temporarily.

The first light of dawn shone on him, and Lehman looked closely through the porthole of the spaceship, his eyes were full of rare curiosity, as if feeling Lehman's gaze, the little orc turned his head, a pair of black and white eyes Looking at the man with a cane in the window, those are a pair of simple and pure eyes that beasts have, even if they are doing killing, they are pure and unadulterated as a matter of course.

Compared with the people on the battleship, he is relatively petite, but his body proportions are very good. Although he is thin, his limbs are slender and have powerful lines.

Lehman held his breath watching.

Everything around seemed to slow down, and Lehman saw this different little beast staring at him, then raised a finger to his eyes, stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, and took his trophy without looking back. Disappeared into the wilderness together with the elderly leopard.
