Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

Kamiya VI's eyes lit up.But he didn't show it on his face, instead there was anger in his tone, "You are lying! His Royal Highness Rhine was established as the crown prince at the age of 6 and has been sitting on the crown prince for 15 years. Since I have decided to marry my beloved son Samuel If you give it to him, trust his ability and skill.”

Schmidt smiled, "I just want to get what I want, and give you what you want to know as a reward. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business, and you don't have to tell me."

King Kamiya VI looked at him for a moment, "Where are you now?"

Schmidt gave an obvious answer, "The site of miracles."

King Kamiya VI turned to the waiter beside him.The waiter shook his head, indicating that he could not trace the specific location of the other party.King Kamiya VI curled his lips and continued to look at the person on the screen.

"When will you be in Angel City?"

"I will come when I think about it, but you must be ready to pay me." Schmidt said.

King Kamiya VI breathed a sigh of relief, "After three days in Angel City, I will provide everything you want. In exchange, I want to know all the background of your departure from the Imperial Army."

"make a deal."

After the communication ended, Schmidt didn't move immediately.He sat in the chair for a while, until another switch on the communicator indicated disconnection.This is one of the advanced military technologies of the Hayes Empire. It hides the time and location information of the correspondent [-]%, so that the other party cannot find the contact at all.

Schmidt picked up the communicator and switched the function to off.Because the next time "Rookie" contacts Rhine, he will also display his time zone and location in real time.As an intelligence officer, no matter how infernal a world you live in, you must meet your loyal master with true information.

This is his survival guarantee, and also the final bottom line of trust.

He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked out of the room.This is the top floor of a three-story building, and there is a small bedroom outside the room.He returned to the bedroom and opened the window, and he could see a corner of the magnificent palace from a distance.The person I contacted just now would never have thought that he was right under his nose.

Schmidt opened the window for some air, then smoked a cigarette.It has been a month since he came to Angel City. Although the living conditions are far inferior to those in the Hayes Empire, he is already enjoying it.A month ago, when he found out that the person who rewritten Claudia's order was Emperor Rudolph, he thought that his life would end in that dilemma.

If the truth is found out, the emperor will not let him go.If the truth cannot be found out, Rhine will not let him go.

In the end, he decided to be loyal to his master and told Rhine the truth.Rhine made the plan for this time in just half an hour.At that time, Schmidt was shocked. Even if he knew that Rhine had a deep and thoughtful mind, it was impossible to make such a thorough and complicated deployment in a short period of time.When he thought about it later, Rhine might have taken precautions against Rudolph a long time ago, and had made some preparatory plans a few years in advance.This incident also made Schmidt determined to follow Rhine to the end.Everyone in the military department knew that Kleedrich was Rhine's think tank, but they didn't know that this moody young man was no less intelligent than his Omega.

Schmidt finished smoking a cigarette, put out the butt, closed the window, and turned on the communicator again.Three days later, he will be exposed to King Camia VI's sight. After that, except for contacting Rhine when necessary, he can no longer send messages at will.So before that, Rhine told him one thing.He activated the communicator, and in the name of Reine Muirhausen, sent a message to all the Royal Star Thief Ships under Rhine's command who were on missions outside the empire.The communication code is R6, R is the initial letter of Rhine's name, and the number 99 means that this is Rhine's personal order.To carry out this order, it is possible to disobey the supreme leader of the empire - Emperor Rudolf.Whether to reply and implement it is up to each star thief to decide.

"From now on, all ships will give priority to the R99 order and ignore any military orders that conflict with R99."

3 minutes after the newsletter was sent, the first response was received.

The Orion SA-13 galaxy blue giant star replied: The communication has been received, and I swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Rhine.

Immediately afterwards, communications entered one after another.

Meyers Galaxy Supernova replied: The communication has been received, and I pledge my allegiance to His Royal Highness Rhine.

The Fawcett Galaxy White Dwarf II and the Red Dwarf jointly replied: The communication has been received, and they pledge their allegiance to Her Majesty Rhine to the death.

The Neutron Star Beta of the North Sen sub-system replied: The communication has been received, and I pledge my allegiance to His Royal Highness Rhine to the death.

Within an hour, all 21 Royal Star Thief ships under Rhine's command confirmed their allegiance.The last communication came from the most distant red giant star at the edge of the universe.

The red giant star of the Nicaea Galaxy replied: The communication has been received, and I pledge my allegiance to His Royal Highness Rhine.

Schmidt pursed his lips and conveyed the communication result to Rhine.He also added a sentence at the end of the message.

"The communication is over, and I swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Rhine."

A week later, Colin Star

Rhine was sitting in the office with the documents prepared by the staff on the table.Tomorrow, he will go to the Virgo galaxy tens of thousands of light-years away, and have diplomatic talks with 7 of the planets.The trip itself lasted 3 weeks, and with the time difference after the conversion of the portal, it basically took a month to leave.In addition to the army staff officer Kleedrich, there are also ministerial-level heads of major departments such as the military department, the foreign ministry, and the trade department.

There were two knocks on the door, and Kleedrich walked in from the outside.He walked to Rhine's table and saluted him with a military salute.

"Your Highness."

"I just wanted to find you, but you came first." Rhine looked up at him, "I've read the document, and there are some things that need to be changed, but we can talk about it on the way."

"Your Highness, Marshal Koenig is on leave due to illness."

Rhine was taken aback, "Is he sick?"

"Yes." Kleedrich looked at him, "His Royal Highness, General Otto and I will all leave tomorrow. As a result, the top military department lacks a person in charge who can deal with the crisis."

Rhine pursed her lips.The person in charge of the military department is headed by himself, followed by the supreme officer, Marshal Koenig, and the deputy chief, General Otto.The third is the highest officials of the various departments under the military department, headed by Chief of Staff Kleidrich.The person in charge of staying behind must be his confidant. In the past, Schmidt from the Intelligence Department was available, but now only Kleedrich is left who is competent.

"Then, we can only let General Otto stay." Rhine pondered.

"But this time it's a high-level visit. Your Highness represents the royal family, and another minister-level chief of the military must be present. General Otto's failure to attend is a serious diplomatic faux pas." Kleedrich reminded.

Rhine didn't speak, he understood what was the only option left now.

"I will stay, Your Highness." Kleedrich said this sentence instead of him.

Rhine frowned and looked up at him.As the two looked at each other, they both understood what the other was thinking.Why is Marshal Koenig sick at this time?What is the conspiracy?What might Kleedrich who stayed behind face?

Even if Rhine could predict 1000 possibilities, he could not predict the 1001st accident.

Rhine was silent for a moment, "I can bear the consequences of being diplomatically rude, and I can also be held accountable for dereliction of duty, but I cannot accept..."

"I'll stay, Rhine." Kleedrich seemed to have made up his mind.

Rhine suddenly looked up at him, because he heard the address in his words change.

Kleedrich looked at him with a smile, "I know what you're worried about, but I can protect myself."

Rhine lowered his eyelids, thinking for a long time but there was no other way.He sat for half an hour, and finally took out his personal communicator from the office drawer.He turned off the biological lock and handed the communicator to Kleedrich.

"Once there is a change, use the R99 code to call any star pirates and motherships."

"R99..." Kleedrich's heart sank. He knew that this code itself meant that Rhine was ready to turn against Emperor Rudolph.

"Kredrich." Rhine suddenly said seriously, with the same imperative tone as before.

"Yes." Kleedrich shuddered in his heart, and immediately stood up straight and said.

"During my absence, you have two tasks. Maintain the normal operation of the military department, and protect my future Omega. No mistakes are allowed in either!"

The corners of Kleedrich's eyes became hot, and he replied solemnly, "Yes, Your Highness."

Rhine saw that there was no one outside the door, stood up and hugged his neck, and kissed his lips heavily.Then he let go and returned to his seat.

"You can go out."

"Yes."

Five days later, in the Orion constellation SA-13 galaxy, a star near the Allied State of Elders robbed the port

The Blue Giant Star was extremely lively, and the siren of the ship's portal lasted for half a day.The 21 royal star thieves under Rhine's command gathered on the blue giant star on this day.The reason for gathering here is that apart from the fact that Orion is relatively close to the ships, the captain of the Blue Superstar, Igger, is also Rhine's most important star thief.When Jean walked out of the portal, he first saw the second ship of the Blue Giant Star - the Popole star Friti (see part [-] for the character design) who greeted him outside the gate.A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the appearance of this beautiful man has not changed at all. It seems that time also cherishes his beauty in prosperity.

"Do you guys remember me?" Gene had a good impression of him at first, and couldn't help but go up to tease him immediately, "Ige just refused to send you here to warm my bed, this time I came to pick you up specially gone."

Fritty rolled his eyes, and before he had time to return his gaze, his gaze was first attracted by the person behind him.It was a handsome young man with long silver hair and a thin tail with silver scales behind him.Fritty is a person who only loves beautiful things, and doesn't have too many racial barriers. The moment he sees him, he can't leave him anymore.He came to Mo's side, looked him up and down, opened his thin lips and asked.

"What's your name?"

Mo hid behind Gene, watched him vigilantly and did not speak.

At this time, Yige approached from far to near, "Jin, why don't you hurry to the command room when you come so late. Everyone else is waiting..."

When he got closer, he stopped talking suddenly, looked at Mo and was stunned, "Others bring Omega at most, why did you bring your pet?"
