Assassin [ABO]

On the night Shen Xiuyun returned to Rama Planet, he received a video call from Joshua, and learned about the news about Planet Omega and Meizuo Base since he left, and many of these news did not sound so pleasant.

"After you left, the imperial government began to send more Alpha officials to Meizuo Base and Omega Planet. The name is nice, and it is called 'friendly cooperation and guidance'. It is for the common prosperity of mankind, but in fact it wants to Elevate your rights. We have been operating Planet Omega for many years, and they can't get in for the time being, but the Mezuo base is no longer what we can decide, and it is estimated that Randy won't last long there."

Shen Xiuyun was not angry when he heard this, but just thought for a moment, and said to Joshua: "In this case, let Randy come back and return the Meizuo base to them."

"You mean just give up like that? But the location of Meizuo Base is very useful to us. Although Planet Omega has been built for many years, it is only a lone star after all. Once the imperial government turns its face and refuses to recognize anyone, it will block us. , then the situation will be very difficult.”

Shen Xiuyun didn't know the important strategic location of the Meizuo base. There are more than a dozen asteroids distributed on the channel connecting it to the Omega planet, and they are all private desolate planets. Anyone who wants to find a way can buy them. By then They will be able to establish a complete planetary belt on this route and achieve self-sufficiency.And Planet Omega and Meizuo Base are on the edge of the interstellar empire, far away from Planet Rama, and far away from the sphere of influence of the Zerg, which can be regarded as a safe hinterland.

The most important point is the spiritual significance of Meizuo Base to Omega. It is the concentration camp of Omega, the shame and symbol of Omega as an oppressed species, and even people will automatically contact Omega as long as they mention Meizuo.If Shen Xiuyun wanted to become the leader of Omega one day, he couldn't even control the Meizuo base, so what confidence would he have for people of the same clan to follow in his footsteps?I believe that the imperial government is not a fool, and naturally sees the significance of the Meizuo base to Shen Xiuyun and the others, so it keeps a close eye on it.

"To lose is to get better. Giving up the Meizuo base today is to get it back in a more beautiful way in the future. What's more, I will go to the parliament to negotiate with the Alpha nobles tomorrow. I don't want them to get caught. It is rebellious to say that we took over the Meizuo base without authorization."

Joshua didn't speak, and looked at Shen Xiuyun seriously for a while through the communication screen, and suddenly smiled: "Xiuyun, I'm really curious about what you have experienced on the front line, why do you feel more and more sinister and cunning."

Shen Xiuyun thought to himself, how could it be possible to stay the same, spending time with such an unfathomable person every day, even if he didn't become a fox, he could be trained to be a rabbit who can dig three holes, otherwise he would be eaten by people even with bone scum Neither could be found.

Joshua had had enough of teasing, and said to Shen Xiuyun: "By the way, Xiuyun, Miffy gave birth to an Omega boy. She didn't say anything, but she danced with joy behind her back, insisting on letting you be the godfather of the child. Come back when you're done with the imperial capital, everyone misses you very much."

Shen Xiuyun is a little embarrassed now. He was an assassin in his previous life. Except for the scheming seventh prince, no one would dare to provoke him, let alone someone who would miss him, and expressing such emotions so bluntly made him wonder what to do. how to answer.Joshua was amused by Shen Xiuyun's awkward expression, but only halfway through the laugh, the communicator was mercilessly cut off, causing him to laugh dryly at the empty screen twice, and shake his head helplessly.

While Shen Xiuyun was talking with Joshua, the royal cemetery a few kilometers away welcomed a visitor in the middle of the night.

The visitor stood alone in front of a tombstone that seemed to be newly made, and put down a bouquet of white roses in his hand. For the next few hours, he stood motionless in front of the grave with his head down, as if he were just an unconscious statue .

The visitor may not know that someone is watching him from afar.

"His Royal Highness Dort, we have confirmed that that person is indeed His Royal Highness Lorgar, and he seems to be paying homage to his mother."

A figure turned from behind the dry tree. The scarlet robe was printed with golden patterns, symbolizing the supreme authority and status in the church.

The third prince, Dot, looked in the direction of the cemetery and raised his eyebrows, which made his already thin and sharp face look even more noble and mean, "What kind of memorial ceremony requires standing still for hours? What's more... it's still empty." Grave? Can we let our man get closer and see if he has anything interesting to say to himself."

A little soldier next to him respectfully said: "Return to Your Highness Third, there seems to be guards from His Highness Seventh around the cemetery, we dare not get too close for fear of being discovered."

"Guard?" Dort slowly curled his thin lips, showing a smile, "It seems that my seventh brother is still quite powerful, and it seems that it is not so easy to deal with him. I am afraid that tomorrow's meeting It’s going to be another great show.”

As the night got darker, Dort looked here for a while, yawned lazily a few times, then turned around and left after giving a few orders, while the prince in the cemetery was still standing in the moonlight, the surrounding was extremely quiet, and occasionally made a few unknown noises. The famous bird calls, or the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, makes the atmosphere even more desolate and weird.

Just when those who were left by Dort to monitor him thought that the Seventh Prince would stand still like this forever, they suddenly saw him draw out his waist knife, and then plunged hard into the soil in front of the grave.The Xueliang blade was half submerged in the ground. The Seventh Prince Luo Jia supported the handle of the blade and knelt on the ground with one knee, his head drooping, his whole body trembling, as if he was enduring great pain, and he didn't get up for a long time...

Shen Xiuyun and Abigail had previously agreed that as long as they can successfully assist Joseph this time, his Omega allies can be incorporated by the Imperial Army and become the fourth largest army after the three major armies of Glory, Mission, and Light.And Abigail did keep his promise. After Shen Xiuyun came back, he immediately issued a king's decree in the name of the emperor to confirm the legitimacy of the Omega allies.

But the interstellar empire is not an absolute monarchy after all. The king's decree has one vote to veto the parliament's bills, but not one vote to affirm it. To make the decree effective, it needs to be passed by a majority vote of the parliament.Therefore, waiting for Shen Xiuyun was another war without gunpowder.

This time to participate in the Imperial Council, Shen Xiuyun did not take the arranged aircraft to go to the Parliament Building, but put on the isolation hood and left alone before dawn.Walking on the street in the morning dew, I have to say that Planet Rama has changed a lot from a few years ago. The urban construction is a bit dilapidated due to the impact of the war, and some large casinos have also closed their doors.There are not a few people wearing isolation suits on the street, but upon closer inspection, most of them are produced by the Omega planet.And many of these people in isolation suits are Omegas, which was absolutely impossible to see before.What made Shen Xiuyun feel ridiculous was that he passed several shops on the way, which were the places where he avoided or fought with the imperial army when he was rounded up in Rama Xing. Now the owners of these shops hang Shen Xiuyun's portrait in front of the door, To solicit business as a gimmick.

Hiding among the crowd of people, Shen Xiuyun couldn't help feeling a little touched. He wrapped his hood and cloak tightly around his body, and continued walking, when he happened to hear the discussion of the two walking behind him.

"I heard that General Joseph's Honor Corps was able to come back alive this time, thanks to that General Omega."

"Yeah, that's what's being said in the news now, Omega soldiers are better than Alpha, it's unimaginable!"

"What is this? Do you know Planet Omega? I heard that Omega can still work there."

"Tsk tsk, times have changed, an imperial general appeared in Omega, this is going to turn around..."

"Yeah, my younger brother is an Omega, and I worship this general as a god. Now, this general has entered the parliament. I hope that more bills that are beneficial to Omega can be passed in the future. What about the Omega business a while ago? Legal is so fucking cheating, my brother was almost taken away at that time, damn it! Legal is a ghost!"

At this moment, there was a noise coming from the door of a restaurant that had just opened on the street. A restaurant employee was violently pushed out by the boss and fell to the ground, only to hear the restaurant boss swearing: "Now Omega is running out to pretend to be Alpha to cheat!" Work, if you get caught by your superiors, you will be fined. When will the isolation cloak be sold casually, really, it’s all the trouble caused by that Omega planet..."

The young man who was pushed out was wrapped in a gray cloak, and Shen Xiuyun could tell at a glance that it was an isolation suit that simulated Alpha pheromone.After the young man got up from the ground, he stared at the hotel door unwillingly, but there was nothing he could do about it. The imperial law still forbids Omega from working. It is considered kind of the boss not to report him.

There were a lot of people watching around, some were watching jokes, some were sighing in sympathy, Shen Xiuyun silently looked at the lonely back of the young man leaving, when someone behind him patted him.

Shen Xiuyun felt the familiar aura without turning his head, and his expression changed slightly.

"Xiuyun, I want to talk to you." Lorgar, like Shen Xiuyun, was wearing a hooded cloak with a high collar, covering half of his face.

Shen Xiuyun: "What are you talking about?"

Lorgar: "Some things, I think I should tell you clearly, especially before going to the council."

Shen Xiuyun looked at Lorgar, "Okay, let's find a place."

But Lorgar said: "No, if you want to say something you don't want people to hear, a quiet and hidden place is never as good as such a noisy street."

So the two walked side by side, and there were more and more pedestrians around, all rushing to the direction of the Parliament Square.The noise covered up their low-pitched conversation, and no one noticed the two most dressed in the crowd.

Shen Xiuyun's expression was indifferent: "If you have anything to say, please speak to His Highness Seventh."

Luo Jia: "Xiuyun, you doubt me, right?"

Shen Xiuyun: "I have never believed in His Highness, so why should I doubt it? This time His Highness has made a great contribution, and I am afraid that no one will dare to shake his status. Today, as long as the elders of the parliament keep their promises, let the Omega Allies obtain a legal title." , we each achieve what we want, and we can part ways."

Luo Jia paused, and grabbed Shen Xiuyun from behind.

Shen Xiuyun frowned and looked back at Lorgar.He closed his eyes, so he couldn't see his expression, but through the strength in his hand, Shen Xiuyun could still detect that Lorgar's mood didn't seem so calm at this time.Shen Xiuyun didn't understand why Lorgar suddenly had such a big change overnight. His complexion was not good-looking, and he looked haggard and thinner, as if he had experienced a major blow.

"Xiuyun, you asked me if I was fake that night. If I wanted to explain now, would you still listen?"
