Angels Are Not Birdmen [Interstellar]

As soon as Lydia and Jeffrey showed up, people from the Elton family surrounded them.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Princess Puxi is more and more beautiful, and Mr. Geoffrey is even better than the rumors." Charlus Elton praised the two of them, and his attitude was extremely good.

Lydia looked the person up and down, and frowned slightly. "Who are you?"

She seldom worries about family affairs, and she will not engrave the high-level information of the Federation in her mind like the heirs of other families.

Most of the people Lydia could remember were those she was more interested in.If she wasn't interested, unless her status was high enough, she wouldn't even be eligible to be remembered.

Jeffrey had a chance to stop Lydia before she could speak, but he didn't move, he just looked at Charlus Elton with interest.

The Elton family is very sincere!He obviously wanted to seize the opportunity to wash away the shame, but he still gave the Boxi family enough face.

At this moment when the interests of the family were at stake, instead of arranging for the direct line of the family to compete with Lydia, they chose to give in.

If the direct descendants of the two families were present at the same time, there would inevitably be some disputes over the decision.An heir of a direct line and a collateral line are directly divided into high and low, avoiding conflicts.

Jeffrey looked sideways at Lydia, the smile in his eyes was fleeting.

Actually, there is another possibility.

The Elton family didn't want to give face to the Bossy family, but they had to because of Lydia's character.

Lydia's character is often a weakness, but sometimes it may not be an advantage.She is not bound by rules, and those who are used to being bound don't know how to deal with it, so they will choose to give in.Even if the status of the two parties is equal, they can have more confidence for no reason.

"..." The smile on Chalus' face was a little stiff, obviously he didn't expect Lydia not to know him.

Although he is not a direct descendant of the Elton family, he is also a leader among the collateral descendants, and his family status is second only to the direct descendant.

Most of the top executives in the Federation are aware of his existence, and some even made a special trip to learn about his deeds.

It was the first time Chalus encountered such a situation in so many years, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Lydia, some time ago we heard about the deeds of General Charus." Jeffrey opened his mouth to rescue Charus.

He deliberately lowered his voice, the senior supernatural being next to him could hear clearly, but the reinforcements a little further away couldn't hear clearly, which well protected the face of the person involved.

Chalus noticed Jeffrey's intentions, and couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in his heart.If it weren't for Jeffrey's presence, he probably wouldn't be able to step down.

"Are you the Lieutenant General Chalus who was promoted two ranks in a row in January?" Lydia looked puzzled.

Many people will temporarily remove the word "deputy" from "deputy general" when they are polite, and directly call them "general".

Lydia obviously doesn't have such a habit, most of the time she doesn't care about the so-called politeness.

"Princess Platinum, I'm Charlus Elton." Charlus put on a smile again, but couldn't help but emphasize his tone when he mentioned his name.

He had already made mental preparations before coming here, and he never expected the courtesy of Princess Platinum.He didn't care about a title, and he didn't expect Lydia's respect, but he was worried about the name.

"Well, I remember." Lydia said she remembered, but her face was full of indifference, obviously not paying attention to the person in front of her.

She looked up at the people behind Chalus, "Which one is Mr. Hawthorne?"

"I didn't expect Princess Boxi to remember my name. I'm so lucky, haha!" Hawthorne couldn't help laughing.

He just complimented Lydia casually and didn't think much about it.However, when these words are heard in people's ears, there is a bit more irony.

Charlus was a little uncomfortable, but also inexplicably relieved.

In his eyes, Lydia is more difficult to deal with than the heads of several big families. The heads of the houses still care about face, but Lydia has no scruples.

Being able to divert Lydia's attention is good news for him, otherwise he can't guarantee that he won't lose his composure in the next communication

"You are Jeffrey's old acquaintance, and I will never forget it." Lydia turned her head to look at Jeffrey beside her, her expression was obviously a little softer, and she still had the charm of a little daughter.

Hawthorne looked at Jeffrey and smiled brighter. "Thanks, Mr. Geoffrey!"

His tone was very casual, but the gratitude in his heart was not fake at all.Jeffrey has helped him a lot with the power of the Platinum family. Without Jeffrey, it would be difficult for him to open up the situation in the Federation.

"I didn't expect that even you learned to be polite." Jeffrey and Hawthorne looked at each other.

The two had no other verbal communication, but somehow understood each other's meaning.They are all doing things for Mr. Lu, there is no need to be so polite.

"I'm doing as Romans do." The smile on Hawthorne's face remained undiminished.

Jeffrey shook his head slightly, "It's still more pleasing to the eye with the original refreshing appearance."

"Haha." Hawthorne smiled and didn't say much.

Seeing the two of them chatting, Charus felt more and more that it was the right decision to bring Hawthorn over.

He was secretly rejoicing when the piercing siren sounded suddenly.

"Another fierce beast attacked the defense line?!" Lydia subconsciously looked out the window.

Jeffrey looked a little serious, "If it's just an ordinary defense attack, it won't sound the alarm."

"The alarm will sound only when the planet is in danger of extinction!" Chalus frowned.

The Elton family wants to fight side by side with General Si. Fighting alone is meaningless to them, and the survival of the border planet is not worth mentioning in their eyes.

It was not good news for them that the battle had already begun before General Si arrived.

"It's not just luck or misfortune that we started attacking the defense line just after we arrived at the beast horde." Hawthorn restrained the smile on his face.

"The impact of the beast horde was too sudden and too coincidental." Jeffrey couldn't help but look at Chalus.

Charlus was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted. "Mr. Jeffrey suspects that we are related to the beast tide attacking the defense line."

"How did you get here?" Lydia didn't make so many twists and turns, and asked directly.

Chalus didn't hide it, "We, like the two, also use space teleportation."

"The Federation's top-notch space technology can't teleport an army of tens of thousands of people from the hinterland to Somia Star. Did you use segmented teleportation?" Jeffrey expressed his guess.

"It took nearly ten teleportations from the hinterland to Somia." Chalus truthfully stated the number of teleportations they had made.

The Federation's technology can also reduce the number of teleportations, but every time the teleportation distance increases, the resources consumed will increase geometrically.

In order to save resources, the Elton family chose multiple medium and short-distance transmissions, increasing the number of transmissions, but reducing resource consumption a lot.

"The more times you teleport, the greater the risk of exposure." Jeffrey frowned, "Where is your teleportation node closest to the border?"

"Our transmission line traverses the hinterland of the Federation, and the last node is near Pensa Star." Chalus didn't want people to associate the impact of the beast tide with them, and spared no effort to explain. "Pensa Star is so far away from the border, it's impossible for the beast to detect it!"

The Elton family also considered the vigilance of the beast, and the last teleportation distance was the longest among the ten teleportations.

"It is true that the nodes you planned will not be discovered by ferocious beasts, but the spatial fluctuations during teleportation are very likely!" Jeffrey said with a very firm tone.

The farther the transmission distance and the larger the number of people, the greater the possibility of being detected.

"Our foothold is behind Somia, so we shouldn't be noticed by the beasts in front!" Chalus' tone was already uncertain.

"It's true that ordinary beasts can't find it. If it's a high-level space-type beast, it's a different matter." Lydia's sensitivity to energy is extremely keen.

"High-level space-type beasts are very rare, and rarely appear in the early stage of the beast tide." Chalus was still looking for a reason, but there was a trace of worry on his face.

As Jeffrey said, the timing of the beast horde was too coincidental.

The ominous beasts had only attacked Somia not long ago, and under normal circumstances they would not attack frequently.

No matter how tyrannical a creature is, it will feel pain and fatigue, and it needs some time to recuperate.

"In the past, there was no medium-sized animal swarm." Jeffrey looked a little dignified, "The crisis in front of us is unusual, and we can't use experience to judge it. We have to think in the worst direction. It is better to prepare more than Much better to be caught off guard by the beast."

"Mr. Jeffrey is right." Chalus' expression also became solemn. "What are we going to do next?"

"Fight the horde of beasts, delay!" Jeffrey opened the star map, his eyes swept over the densely packed red dots, and finally stopped at the empire's territory. "Lydia contacted Grandpa and asked them to help urge the Imperial reinforcements."

"The reinforcements are led by General Si himself. As the crown prince of the empire, he must be very busy. Will rashly urging him affect his impression of the Federation?" Chalus couldn't help but ask.

The family arranged for him to come here to fight with General Si, and what he wanted was harmony.

If General Si is dissatisfied with the Federation, it will be difficult for him to restore the family's image in the hearts of the people, and it may backfire.

"The empire has promised to assist the Federation. Of course, we must know how the battle is going. If the reinforcements arrive and only see ruins, it will also affect the reputation of the empire." Hawthorne glanced at Chalus with a little surprise, It seems that he doesn't understand why he can't even figure out such a simple truth.

"..." Charlus was a little embarrassed for a moment. "I was worrying too much."

It's not that he has no brains, it's just that he cared too much and accidentally got into a dead end.

"The garrison of Planet Somia has already dealt with the murderer, and we can't sit comfortably in the camp." Jeffrey looked sideways at Lydia beside him.

Lydia took Jeffrey's hand and walked out, "Let's fight for the soldiers!"

Hawthorne and Chalus looked at each other and followed behind them.
