Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

Kelin Xing, a hospital affiliated to the military

In the morgue, Dr. Horn was doing an autopsy on the sniper.It was late at night, and he had no assistant by his side, only an electronic recorder to record all voice messages.He inspected the entire body, the fatal wound was a point-blank shot from the captain of the bodyguard, which pierced the sniper's heart.But there was also a gunshot wound on the right shoulder of the body, and the bullet neither penetrated the shoulder nor remained in the body.This is a bullet and supporting power device newly developed by the Imperial Army with a special sublimation effect (that is, solid gasification without liquefaction, such as dry ice). The bullet quickly gasifies after leaving the power device.Not only does it cause small wounds, but it does not leave any traces whether it hits the target or not.

As a senior forensic doctor, Dr. Horn immediately understood after examining the wounds that the gunshot wound occurred before the deceased was shot.The shooter's marksmanship was very accurate, and one blow immediately disabled the sniper's ability to snipe.But with such accurate marksmanship, why didn't he just shoot him dead at that time, but left him to the personal guards to capture him? Doctor Horn guessed how much he could guess, but he couldn't be sure.But he doesn't want to know too much, because people who know a lot don't live long.

As he performed the autopsy, he left messages on voice recordings.

"The fatal wound of the deceased was in the chest, and the bullet directly hit the heart, causing death on the spot. No other wounds were found on the body."

He finished the autopsy an hour later and put an expedited tag on the body.After a few hours of this, the body is cremated without leaving any traces.Then he sent the autopsy report to the incident investigation team, everything in the report was what Rhine wanted to see.He finished his mission and left the morgue.

At the same time, the military building

General Otto remained alone in his office.According to the plan, he used the military's intelligence search engine to hack into Miracle's database terminal, and saw that there were information records of hummingbirds in it.Because he wanted to make sure that the intelligence department would find the same fact when it searched for intelligence tomorrow.But to his surprise, at the moment, in Miracle's database, the photo of the hummingbird had been displayed as a photo of the sniper who died today, and it seemed that someone had quickly updated the information.After the general confirmed it, he sent a message to Rhine's private communicator, ending his mission.

Then he lit a cigarette and took two long breaths.

Everything is running according to Rhine's will.

He didn't know how long the script was.The attempted assassination of the crown prince and the infiltration of members of the intelligence darknet into the military are all part of this script.He now even suspects that even the miracle itself may be under Rhine's control.

He didn't know how many actors there were.The original snipers, the personal guards, and even Rhine himself who was attacked.Perhaps the disappearing Schmidt is one of them, playing a role that others don't know?

The only thing he knows is that on this stage, everyone is an actor who plays part of the plot, and Rhine is the real chief director.Here, being loyal to Rhine and doing your job well is the only condition for survival.No one will disagree, because no one knows where Rhine's eyes are looking at you.The frightening thing about this young man is that everyone only sees one side, and he is the only one who grasps the overall situation.

On the day when Rhine ascends the throne in the near future, no one can predict whether it will be the appearance of the light monarch or the arrival of the dark emperor.If it's the latter, who will save them then?

red giant star

The mothership has been traveling in the portal for 17 hours, from the Nicia galaxy on the edge of the universe, across a distance of several million light years, and sailing towards the Steller galaxy.In the bedroom, Gene woke up after sleeping for 6 hours, and there were still 6 hours before he arrived.He lay on the bed with his head up, the R99 command lingering in his mind.

"Threat of force to the Principality of Solom, forcing it to assemble the fleet alone. Don't involve other principalities, the Blue Superstar will assist the operation." These are the original words of Rhine's order.

At this time, the tail on the leg began to move.Jin turned his head to look at the people around him. Mo seemed to be dreaming, and his eyelids were moving slightly.Gene leaned forward and kissed him hard on the forehead.Sure enough, he was awakened by the kiss, and opened his sleepy eyes to look at Gene in a daze.

"I'm going to the command room, should I continue to sleep by myself?"

"I'll go as well."

As Mo said, he sat up, closed his eyes as if sleepwalking, and began to change his clothes.Genn understood his unease and had to do as he wanted.After he changed his clothes, he brought Mo to the command room. Rodney was monitoring the data of the portal to ensure the safety of the mothership.

"Captain." Rodney saluted him.

When the two of them entered the door, Mo found a few chairs and put them together, and snoring sounded when he climbed up and fell over.Gene covered him with a blanket and checked the time.

"There are still 6 hours of sailing to the destination, you go to rest first."

"But Captain, do you need to prepare the main gun?"

Rodney knew that the newly replaced main gun of the blue giant star was an antimatter particle cannon that could annihilate the entire battlefield, and the red giant star used a star destroyer cannon that destroyed the surface of a planet.Since it is not a frontal battle, the Blue Superstar must hide its sharpness, and the main gun can only be opened by its own ship.

"You go to rest and leave the rest to me."

"Yes."

After Rodney left, Gene did not begin preparations immediately in the command room.Because in order to successfully execute the order and ensure that the mothership does not suffer heavy damage, one thing must be clarified first.

What does Rhine want to do?

Jean guessed that the R99 order was probably intended to separate the United Kingdom of Angola, causing the Principality of Solom to use force alone.Because Rhine has a deep mind and is good at influencing other people's behavior invisibly, letting the opponent dig a hole for himself.He thought of this, opened the interstellar map and switched to the target galaxy, and began to look for the best place to open the portal.This detail will affect Camia VI and other duchies' understanding of the situation, and it is also directly related to the success or failure of the mission.

"Jin hugs..." At this moment, Mo on the chair suddenly murmured in his dream.

Gene turned to look at him, touching his cheek lovingly.When the mission is over, he may take Mo back to the empire to complete some things that should have been completed long ago.So he will never miss the mission this time, because not only the safety of the entire crew is on his shoulders, but also a person he wants to protect his whole life from the bottom of his heart.

City of Angels, Angola United Kingdom, Royal Palace

After Kamia VI received the news of Rhein's assassination, he summoned Schmidt into the palace overnight.In fact, he heard from Schmidt early in the morning that Rudolph's time was short and the princes intended to compete for the reserve position.But because he has always been wary of Schmidt, he does not believe his words 6%.But the attempted assassination incident this time undoubtedly confirmed what Schmidt said was true.At this time, he summoned him into the palace overnight just to discuss the next move.

Kamiya VI's actions made Schmidt understand that his trust in him had reached its peak.This time, Operation Hummingbird is a plan to kill three birds with one stone: to weaken the Konig faction in the Imperial Army, to increase Schmidt's weight in front of Kamiya VI, and to stir up trouble in the United Kingdom of Angola. The conflict between the Duchy of Solom and other duchies.

Now two birds have been shot down, and the last bird is left to watch his performance tonight.

Schmidt was called to an audience, but showed up a few minutes late on purpose to show that he had nothing to do with it.When he arrived, King Kamiya VI personally led him to the conference room, which showed how much he was valued.After the waiter served tea, King Kamiya VI sent everyone away, leaving only him and Schmidt.

"Your Majesty came to me, presumably to ask about the current situation within the empire?" Schmidt held a teacup and spoke slowly.

King Kamiya VI was very polite, "Please enlighten me."

"According to my information network, Rhine's vitality has been seriously injured after this incident, and he is still in the intensive care unit." Schmidt's tone is very confident, "But no matter which prince in the empire is temporarily in charge of the military , I am afraid that the attitude towards the United Kingdom will not be friendly."

King Kamiya VI's eyes widened, "You mean, this matter will affect us?"

"You are Rhine's future in-laws. This label cannot be removed no matter what. Since this is the case, you might as well hold on to this tree now. After all, it will not fall if it is deeply rooted. If one day it really falls, At that time, it will be too late to choose another good tree."

Schmidt's tone seemed to be waiting to watch the show, which made King Kamiya VI's heart flutter.The more the other party suggested climbing on the Rhine, the more he felt that the ship might capsize.After the two talked in secret for a while, Schmidt left, and Kamiya VI sat alone in the room until dawn.Just when he was still thinking about waiting to see the development of the situation, an urgent military news came to the palace.

Two unidentified motherships suddenly appeared near a mine star on the edge of the territory of the Principality of Solom.Both ships are in a state of readiness, and the star destroyer of one of the motherships has been aimed at the mine star.

Kamiya VI's complexion suddenly changed.Unidentified motherships, one of which is also equipped with a star destroyer, this is undoubtedly the method of the Royal Star Pirates of the Hayes Empire.But Rhine has relatives by marriage, not to mention that he is in the hospital now, so who sent these two ships?Could it be some prince who wants to take advantage of the situation and attack him?

Kamiya VI weighed the pros and cons in his heart.If the kingdom's fleet is used, this matter will surely reach the ears of other principalities.Whether it looks good or not is secondary, but the failure of diplomacy with the Hayes Empire will undoubtedly affect the prestige of the Principality of Solom among all the principalities.This is a situation that Kamiya VI absolutely wants to avoid.After much deliberation, he decided not to go through the Kingdom's United Military Headquarters, but to assemble a fleet to show force by himself.

"Assemble the Principality's fleet in the territory. Remember it's just a demonstration, you must not fire first!"
