King of the Stars [Rebirth]

On the third day after the banquet, the military department issued a new appointment, and the deep space fleet was replaced by a major general of the Sardin family, reorganized and waiting to sail.Griffin was sent to Celt Star as a temporary mission to suppress bandits.

Once this order was promulgated, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the political situation of several major families had changed.Vissar Oswald, who is married to the Sardinian family, may replace his younger brother and become the pillar of the first family in the military.Nisrock Oswald, who lacked roots, was deprived of most of his power and went to the southeast region alone.It was close to the fifth family's sphere of influence, so if someone who had just wiped out the dark forces of the fifth family went to suppress bandits, the result was self-evident.

"Your Excellency, they want to dismantle your fleet!" On the communication crystal screen, Adjutant Richard was filled with righteous indignation, and even raised his voice twice.

"I heard that the military department appointed you as the captain of the Far West Fleet?" Griffin asked calmly, his expression unchanged.

"That's sowing discord! Your Excellency, I will never serve in another fleet! The Deep Space Fleet is your foundation, and I will guard it well..."

Before expressing his loyalty, Griffin waved his hand lightly: "I want you to go to the Far West Fleet."

The adjutant was stunned: "But your deep space fleet..."

"The Deep Space Fleet does not belong to me now, and they will not accept a staff officer with the imprint of 'Nisrock'. It is better to start a new stove and re-cultivate a force. The cruising range of the Far West Fleet is in the western border, where there are already It is the best choice for us to take over our foundation." Griffin's voice was firm and powerful, and extremely serious.

"But being a captain..." Richard obviously hesitated. Even in a relatively safe area, being a captain is not an easy task.Can he keep the foundation laid by the "son of gold"?

"In the Deep Space Fleet, you performed very well and even saved my life. Wars are not only won or lost on paper, there are more behind-the-scenes operations. I need someone I trust enough to handle these for me Behind the scenes."

These words were too straightforward, and there was no "nobility" in them, but Richard's eyes became moist.His throat rolled for a while, and he finally nodded vigorously: "I will do everything well. I will never let down your trust in me!"

"trust".This is what Griffin needs most now.The leak of the plan to find the mecha meant that there was something wrong with his inner circle.If I change someone, I am afraid that I will have a grudge against all my confidants, and I will not be able to use my team again until I find out the traitor who served the Grand Duke of Landasia.But Griffin would never do that.

Abandoning one's existing roots is a self-defeating folly.I'm afraid this is what Grand Duke Landacia wants him to do.Become a helpless chess piece that can only follow the orders of others.It's a pity that he trusted his own vision, and he also believed in his loyal adjutant who had followed him for three full years.

"Protect those seeds well and wait for me to come back."

Come back to reclaim what is rightfully his.

In the southeast of the federal territory, there is also a "three no matter" zone where different forces are mixed.Around this star map, there are pirates from the Star Alliance, family forces from the Federation, and some natives who opened up the planet centuries ago.Because the forces of all parties are too complicated, and there are no minerals or wealth worth coveting around, this territory has gradually become a free trade belt on the southeastern border for various caravans to travel.Due to its superior geographical location, Celtic Star, a free trade planet located at the junction of the two countries, has gradually become a commercial hub between the two regimes.

Now, though, that pivot appears to be in jeopardy.

In the ultra-small transport ship, Didi's alarm sounded: "There is a battle ahead, please turn immediately and avoid the attack!"

Just after completing the transition, he encountered such a situation, even Yan Beichen did not expect it.But he didn't dodge wildly like those panicked small ship owners, but quietly observed the battle situation in front of him.This is not a big battle, more like a small encounter.A light cargo ship has encountered a pirate robbery and is currently maintaining a one-two situation.

The cargo ship has good weapons and equipment, and has a strong sense of combat, but it is far inferior to the opponent in terms of numbers, so the situation is very passive.However, the two pirate ships did not open fire with all their strength. I don't know if they were concerned about the cargo on board, or had some other purpose.

This kind of battle had nothing to do with Yan Beichen, but when he saw the sign on the pirate ship, he frowned.black rocks.This pattern is not common on pirate ships, and most pirates will choose more impactful and deterrent signs, such as "magic wolf" or "fierce dragon".But he did see this badge, in his previous life.

Stan Stone and his Blackstone, one of the Covenant's most notorious pirate bands.It has more than a dozen spaceships and a large group of tiger-like men.They had wreaked havoc on the border of the Star Alliance for more than ten years, and it was only after they took on the task of suppressing the bandits that they completely wiped out the bandits.

But now, the Star Alliance no longer has "Yan Beichen", and the Black Stone naturally has another future.Now that I ran into this scene head-on, it was like seeing a mission that I had abandoned.Yan Beichen looked at it for a while, then finally shook his head and rushed up with the spaceship.

Today, he can no longer exert his mental strength and physical skills, but his reflexes and combat awareness are still there. Driving a spaceship is much easier than mechs. Just two rounds of laser cannons fired in succession, and the group of pirates were thrown into chaos.Discovering this unexpected boost, the light cargo ship seemed a little surprised. Fortunately, the captain of the other party was also a good player, and quickly caught up with Yan Beichen's rhythm. After just 10 minutes, one pirate ship was destroyed, and the other was destroyed. Flee in a hurry.

After the battle, a communication request came from the public channel.The rescue was originally out of plan, and Yan Beichen had no intention of getting involved with the rescued ship, so he hesitated for a moment before turning on the communicator.Appearing on the communication crystal screen was a middle-aged man, who looked serious and resolute, with a military demeanor, but faint anxiety destroyed his calmness.

When he saw Yan Beichen, he was obviously taken aback, as if he didn't expect the savior to be so young, but soon, the man came to his senses and said, "Thank you for your help, we were able to escape this catastrophe. May I ask your destination, won't it be Celt Star?"

Because it is the main business road, there are not many airports along the way, so it seems reasonable for him to ask.However, Yan Beichen heard what the other party meant, and asked in a wide range: "Is there something wrong with Celt Star?"

The man nodded solemnly: "A pirate group named Blackstone crossed the border of the Star Alliance and launched an attack on Celt. We just escaped from there and are looking for help."

The news is not so good.Yan Beichen frowned: "They sent people to chase you, but they didn't kill you. Who else is on board?"

Only when encountering valuable cargo or important hostages, the pirates will hold back a little bit in the attack.The scene just now was exactly like that.In addition to what the captain said, what they encountered was probably not a robbery, but a deliberate kidnapping.There is only one possibility for such a "gentle" treatment of a rescue ship. There are people with quite special identities on board.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him would tell the truth, the captain closed his mouth, as if he was thinking about how to answer this question, but before he could come up with a solution, the camera suddenly turned slightly and moved to the other direction.

"Miss!"

The exclamation did not stop the display of the screen, and a girl appeared on the crystal screen.The girl's appearance is quite soft and beautiful, with black hair and black eyes, and a slender figure. She seems to have ancient oriental blood, but her attitude is not as delicate as she looks, and she smiled directly at Yan Beichen: "Thank you for your help just now. I am Gulan, the daughter of the president of the Celtic Star Free Trade Association, and I am also the one that the pirates want to capture."

In the few free trade planets without family power, the chamber of commerce is the most important management level of the planet, and the president of the chamber of commerce is often equivalent to the president of the planet.The chairman's daughter fled to the rescue in person, so the meaning of the representative is naturally different.However, Yan Beichen didn't focus on this, but raised his eyebrows: "Gu Lan? What's your relationship with the Guning Clan?"

As if she didn't expect Yan Beichen to ask such a question, the girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "My mother is from the Gu family of the Guning clan. It seems that you also know something about the Guning clan."

The pronunciation of Eastern surnames is very special, so when Yan Beichen heard the name "Gulan", he suddenly realized that the so-called "Guning clan" might be called by a different surname.After a guess, it really hit the heart.

Smiling, he didn't answer the question, but changed the topic: "The reinforcements you are going to ask for help, can't they also happen to be from the Guning tribe."

The girl blinked and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "That's right, and we really need a reliable escort to escort us to the planet where the Guning people live. I wonder if you would like to accompany us on this journey?"

This girl is quite smart, Yan Beichen also laughed.She should have known that she was very interested in the Guning Clan, but she didn't use this as a condition in exchange for his help.Instead, he lowered his posture and sincerely begged him to escort the spaceship.This is tantamount to putting him in an active position and giving him his trust.

Faced with such a plea, what reason is there to say no?

"Of course there is no problem. How do we set up the route?" Yan Beichen replied simply.

There was an unconcealable joy in the girl's eyes, she stood on tiptoe and said something to the middle-aged man beside her, then turned her head again: "Please turn on the route sharing system, we will directly transmit the star map to you."

This was another extra step. Even if they didn't share the star map, they could still lead Yan Beichen to the planet where the Guning tribe was located, but they chose trust and respect again.Of course Yan Beichen would not ignore this.Turn on the system, and two seconds later, the star map will appear in the spacecraft's navigator.

"My people are on the blue star two light hours away. If there is no problem, can we set sail?" Gu Lan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and added a little shyly, "By the way, Haven't asked for your name yet."

"Yan Beichen." Without any disguise, Yan Beichen said his real name.
