Empire Revenge Edible Raiders [Interstellar]

False flattery, smiles mixed with envy and jealousy, compliments are for getting close, praise is not necessarily good intentions, people who are used to hypocrisy since childhood.Enduring the whole process of the commendation ceremony and refusing to chat with people afterwards, Ellis hurried to Lin Qijie's room.

There was no sound in the silver-white corridor with good sound insulation, but it was the silence that disturbed him even more.

After confirming the identity, the female electronic voice in the room was gentle and moving: "Permission confirmation, welcome, Lieutenant General."

Ellis walked into the room, and the unexpected situation between the two that he had been anxiously anticipating during the recognition ceremony did not happen.When Ellis entered the room, Lin Qijie was sitting across the table, staring at the chessboard on the table with a bored face, looking quite tired of the conversation.And Shure Packard was sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, still smiling and chatting with him with such an amiable and calm smile.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he stopped talking and looked this way, but Lin Qijie glanced at the door and then looked away.

"Lieutenant General." Shure Packard greeted politely.

Ellis had no choice but to give him a polite nod. The lieutenant general looked at Lin Qijie again. He felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. The atmosphere was too strange.The inexplicable uneasiness made him work hard to swallow the title of "Master", but his eyes showed emotion, and he asked, "Major General?"

Lin Qiyu glanced at him coldly, but without any response, he looked away, even disgusted.

Ellis' heart sank as the uneasiness settled down.

Shure Packard accepted what Lin Qijie didn't want to say with a smile: "Major General Lin Qijie and I had a very pleasant chat, but I didn't expect that Lieutenant General, you didn't put the third star anchor already in your hands. Tell him the news that the army was crushed and wiped out?"

"I..." Ellis instinctively glanced at Lin Qijie, but the major general ignored him.The restraint he had cultivated for a long time still oppressed this man at this time. He responded coldly, "This is a military secret, and it cannot be made public yet." It was like stepping on the void under his feet, and his heart was like a boulder falling down.

What he had been trying to hide from him, finally couldn't hide it anymore.

Shure Packard nodded knowingly: "Military secrets... But since you have been commended for your achievements, Lieutenant General, this matter can also be announced to the public. With such a great contribution, perhaps the parliament can consider your post If you go up another level, you can become a general at such a young age, I have to say it is really admirable."

He silently endured the other party's seemingly inadvertent provocation and laughter, closed his fingers into fists, and finally said: "Chairman, please leave first, your subordinates are looking for you, and preparations for the dinner have already begun."

Fortunately, he didn't bother him any more. Shure Packard nodded quietly, smiled gently, apologized to Lin Qijie, and left.

Ellis finally walked to Lin Qijie's side until he confirmed that the door of the room was closed. He pressed his hands on the table and was silent for a while, then knelt down beside the lieutenant general, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... ...I... you definitely don't want to know..."

The black chess pieces were turning in his hands, Lin Qijie's voice was calm.Although I was acting in front of that guy just now, it was just acting: "I know, you don't need to apologize to me. On the battlefield, we are enemies and each is our own master. The destruction of the third star anchor should be my responsibility." , if I, the commander, had been sober enough to order them to retreat, they would never have died on the battlefield."

The soldiers who put their lives in his hands, acted wholeheartedly for his orders, and smiled at him, and some girls in the medical department who used to carry medical kits and smiled shyly at him.Lin Qijie has insisted on not wanting to die until now, precisely because he wanted to know their whereabouts.

But those people who believed in him have all disappeared into the starry sky now, which is really strange. In fact, Lin Qijie had already vaguely guessed this matter when he hadn't seen any federal prisoners except him for so many days, but He didn't want to admit it.

"No—" Unable to bear the atmosphere, Ellis finally couldn't help but said, "This is not right. My army did hit some starships at the beginning of the firefight, but even with such a fierce confrontation, It is also impossible to find no dead bodies at all after the fact..."

Things seemed to exceed his expectations, Lin Qiyu was startled: "You didn't use the quantum annihilation cannon?"

Ellis shook his head, "No."

Something is not right.Lin Qijie frowned.If it wasn't for quantum annihilation, it would be impossible to leave no corpses on the battlefield. What's more, thinking about it now, even if it was a surprise attack with an overwhelming number of unfavorable numbers, it still lacked the guidance of the commander. After all, the third star anchor was the army he brought out. In any case, it shouldn't be such a complete defeat without the ability to resist.

And that X-18 who said he wanted to save him but did it ruthlessly... Something was wrong.He thought he had lost to the Federation, but there must be something wrong within the empire now, and it was aimed at him.

"I have to find out the quantum fluctuations in that star field that day." If it is really quantum teleportation, things are beyond his imagination, and it is even very likely that he will not be able to simply return to the empire like this, "Look You can only go to the federal scientific research institute."

Ellis understood what he was thinking, but the current situation is not allowing the federal captives to act at will, he had to mention that cunning guy: "Shure Packard, he..."

"He wants to separate you and me, obviously. It seems that he has sensed that something is wrong, but there is no evidence, Ellis, you'd better keep your distance from me during this time." Ellis is more troublesome. Although he always smiles, he can't see his true emotions at all. "Fortunately, as you said, he didn't want to kill me. He seems to be thinking about getting greater benefits."

Ellis was silent for a moment: "What should I do?" The lieutenant general is not someone who likes to hand over the initiative to others, but since Lin Qijie seems to have his own arrangements, he doesn't mind listening to his sweetheart's command.

"According to you," Lin Qijie reminded him meaningfully, "according to the behavior of the blade of the Federation, Ellis Paraphael."

Shree Packard didn't seem to like drinking.At the dinner party, he smiled and rejected the invitation of the stationed officer Lorid many times. Instead, he used this opportunity to show up in front of Lin Qijie often.Living under others, Lin Qijie originally tried to reduce his sense of existence, but as a result, a senior official like Shure Packard who can attract everyone's attention wherever he goes, also drew enough attention for himself.

On the surface, Lin Qijie maintained a polite reply to this man's approach, but in his heart he wanted to beat up this hypocritical smiling face, to see what kind of situation he could put away this annoying look.

However, Lin Qijie was not a purely whimsical person. He kept probing, and finally got out of his plan for himself from the federation chairman.He wanted to bring Lin Qijie back to the Central Star of the Federation.

After that, he didn't want to say anything about his plan. Once Lin Qijie tried to test him, he smiled and began to contradict his news, so that the latter had to drink several sips of red wine to restrain the urge to beat someone.

"But I'm afraid Lieutenant General Ellis won't let me go just like that," Lin Qijie had to remind him, "he has always regarded me as a big enemy, and he doesn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"Of course, Lieutenant General understands your ability very well, but he is too used to rough solutions on the battlefield," Shurepackard smiled wryly. It seems that Ellis' stubborn opinion during that time made him feel quite For headaches, "Can't you pledge allegiance to the Federation?"

"If you were captured by the empire, would you surrender to us?" Lin Qijie asked back. Of course, even though he said this, he complained in his heart that he was really not sure about this person's choice. "I am loyal to the empire. My motherland, loyal, even in death."

"The Federation used to be part of the empire. We separated from the empire just to find freedom. Maybe you will change your mind after reaching the central star." He glanced at Ellis' direction, and the lieutenant general was talking to them in the distance. The other officers were talking, and they looked far away, but if you look closely, you can see that he has actually been paying attention to the situation here, and he pointed out, "And Lieutenant General Ellis, I always thought he was I really hate you, otherwise I wouldn’t always force the parliament to issue a resolution, but what I saw with my own eyes, the situation seems to be different from what I imagined.”

Lin Qijie licked his lips and smiled, "I really like Ellis."

Shure Packard looked back at him meaningfully, and then sighed: "Of course, you are so beautiful, of course I can understand. The first time I saw you, I felt that my heart had been covered by yours." Snatched away by my eyes, floating in those black eyes, I have been reluctant to come back for a long time. No celebrity in the federation, no one can give me such a feeling, I even suspect that I have fallen in love with you."

...Can I hit someone?

"How do you say that, if love is mixed with calculations that have nothing to do with itself, then it's not true love." Lin Qijie smiled half-smile, "Besides, I don't have any affection for hypocrites."

Even with the rejection on the surface and the ruthless exposure of the essence, Shure Packard did not change his mood. He still smiled and bowed: "It seems that you don't want to accept my love anymore, it's okay, On the journey back to the central star, I believe we will have a good time together."

"perhaps."

If everything goes according to your plan.
