MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 56
Shang Ping has never been a pessimist. If not defined in a strict sense, this black-haired boy may be more inclined to an optimistic attitude and life creed. After driving a one-man fighter jet into the Golden Empire cosmos fleet and even being captured, Shang Ping was not shaken in the slightest. He always believed that he would survive. Maybe he didn't have this kind of toughness before, or maybe the long-term indifference made him lack the enthusiasm of a young man, but it is undeniable that Shang Ping never doubted himself, nor his country - the current Mal s.
Until this moment, the black-haired boy had only developed a wonderful sense of belonging to the country and planet he had lived in for fifteen years, but it was after he was captured in battle.
Shaking his head, Shang Ping put one hand on his knee, sat with his back straight against the wall, looking at the cold alloy wall, he always felt that he should not be so calm.
Lochte no longer expected to hear any suggestions from Shang Ping's mouth, and he began to rack his brains to figure out how to get out of the current predicament. The Marths have never had a tradition of being captives. In the education of the Madoff Military Academy, the Marrs soldiers have always existed as conquerors. The students of the Madoff Military Academy will not and do not need to learn how to be a qualified soldier. captives, and how to survive and find opportunities to escape after being captured.
However, the current situation forced Lochte to overthrow the knowledge he had learned in the past and the cognition from childhood to adulthood. The first question is, will they really survive as Shang Ping said?
If you can't live, everything is just an illusion.
In the silent room, there was only the sound of the breathing of two people. Shang Ping seemed to be fascinated by the cold light reflected on the alloy wall. His black eyes stared at a certain point for a moment, until the door facing his back was silently opened, and Shang Ping still did not look back.
Captain Elfy stood behind Shang Ping and looked down at the black-haired boy who was in a daze and Rochette who looked at him with a look of alertness. He knew these two Mars people. Compared with the soldiers of the Golden Empire, Elfy, who was born in the Republic of Seth, even though the creed of loyalty to the empire was forcibly implanted in his mind, he still retained what he had learned before and his knowledge of the outside world.
Because of this, El Fei couldn't have a sense of closeness to Shang Ping and Rochette from the same galaxy, just as he had no mercy for the Seth people who were abandoned in the Royce artificial celestial body at this moment. significance. However, the wit and tenacity shown by the two Mars people in the previous battle had to be admired by him. Is this the nature of the Mars people?
"Captain Elfy, you shouldn't be here."
Harlan's adjutant Gerhard stepped down from the teleportation bridge and saw El Fei standing by the door, his pale eyes sank.
On the order of the First Prince, he will take Shang Ping and Rochette to Soran Edrich's command cabin. Before that, there must be another thorough inspection of the two already intimidating Muse human beings, including whether they may have micro-weapons hidden in a button, as the content of the inspection.
Although Gerhard did not think it was necessary, Harlan solemnly ordered him to follow the strictest rules. Gerhard had to obey the orders of this royal family, the general of the engineer corps under the commander of the First Prince Soran Edrich.
"Captain Gerhard, I'm just here to see people from the Muse system, you don't have to be so serious."
"Really? Hope so."
Gerhard doesn't intend to continue to waste time with El Fei. Although El Fei's current identity is already a soldier in the space fleet of the Golden Empire, Gerhard does not intend to reluctantly because of his natural disgust for the betrayer. It is hypocritical and useless to express friendly emotions to the man in front of him.
"Although this cannot be called a formal and decent invitation, it is also a supreme honor for the two of you..."
Gerhard waved his hand, and the two soldiers who were waiting on the side stepped forward to take Shang Ping and Lochette out of the room. Lochette, who was a little anxious, was obviously terrified because he couldn't be sure what was waiting for him in front of him. Shang Ping was calm. He patted Lochte on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, Lochte, it's useless for you to be afraid. What should come will still come."
"Shang Ping, don't use this prehistoric terrestrial language to laugh at my lack of language!"
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm just comforting you."
"Are you so comforting?!"
"Yes, isn't that right in front of you?"
As Shang Ping spoke, he looked at the surrounding environment without a trace. As the teleportation bridge left the cabin where they were held, an arched door with a gorgeous pattern appeared in front of him, and rows of scanning rays visible to the naked eye were on the door. Inside the network, Shang Ping suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next moment, the premonition was tested.
"Then, please enter the door for the two of you. We will conduct a detailed and comprehensive scan of the two of you. Although this will be a bit rude, please forgive me in view of the identities of the two."
Gerhard adhered to the etiquette of the nobles, but with a tough attitude, he almost forcibly sent Shang Ping and Rochette into the scanning cabin. Fortunately, it is not too long, otherwise Shang Ping is not sure whether Lochte, who is already nervous and anxious to a certain extent, will break out in the next moment, and then implicate himself in it.
"Lochette, if you still want to return to Mars alive, do as I tell you."
In a very short scan time, Shang Ping seized the gap and explained a few words to Lochte. Then, the two followed behind Gerhard and stepped on the teleportation bridge again.
In the command cabin, Soran Edrich did not avoid Giovanna after all, the old-fashioned noble of the empire, after greeting Soran Edrich with gorgeous and vague rhetoric, he began to routinely state Haini. The third emperor was dissatisfied with the long stay of the first prince, and recited the warrant of Queen Yilan with great emotion. Perhaps it is fortunate that her majesty wrote all the words that Taiban wanted to say in the private office of Soran Edrich. In the letter, this shortened Giovanna's solo performance time a lot.
"What a stubborn old man!"
Metz stood behind Soran Edrich and complained in a low voice, Ida raised one of her tail hairs and said, "But being stubborn is not annoying, is it?"
"How can you not hate..."
Harlan stood next to Soran Edrich, as a member of the royal family with the same surname as Edrich, Harlan? Edrich and Soran Edrich have a certain degree of similarity. At least, the two clearly maintained a consistent attitude towards Giovanna.
They don't like Giovanna, yes, even if this gentleman is a loyal defender of the royal family, but when the person he defends is not himself, this kind of stubbornness and persistence will really give people a headache.
Gerhard's arrival interrupted Giovanna's eloquence. In Giovanna's view, this was a very rude behavior, but it was obvious that he was the only one in the audience who thought so.
"Your Highness, someone has already brought it here."
Gerhard put one hand on his chest respectfully and bowed in a salute.
"kindness."
Soran Edrich nodded and waved his hand, which made Giovanna, who wanted to accuse Gerhard, unable to speak.
"Your Highness, do you want to meet the captives in person?!"
After seeing Shang Ping and Lochte walking in, Giovanna's face suddenly became serious.
"What? Can't you?" Lieutenant General Metz was really fed up with Giovanna, if possible, he really wanted to kick the old man onto the cruise ship flying back to the Empire, "Does your Highness still need your work? Agree?!"
"Your Highness, that's not what I meant."
"I know." Soran Edrich motioned to Giovanna that he didn't have to open his mouth to explain. It would be better if he closed his mouth than if he opened his mouth.
Shang Ping and Rochette were brought in front of Soran Edrich, looking at the man who looked down on him from a high place, and the people in the surrounding golden empire, Shang Ping felt that he had become the age of the earth, and was locked in a cage for any purpose. A plaything that people watch.
To be honest, it's not a very good feeling, or should I say, terrible.
