No Master [Interstellar]

According to the plan, the location of the peace talks is arranged in Kurla, which is a man-made space fortress built for the early days of the empire and then abandoned.Because it is located in the middle zone between the imperial military and the rebel forces, it is now reoccupied and expanded by the empire.

To get here, they must first pass through the heavy defense lines of the military.Another purpose of Ronan's trip this time is to labor the army.That is to let the soldiers fighting on the front line experience the pheromones of Xiongzi on the spot, but considering Ronan's special situation, the traditional "personal trial" link in the army of Xiongzi was removed.

For the sake of safety, Ronan took the safest route all the way.Their first stop was Kish base, which is an important logistics supply center and renovation center located at the rear of the southern line, and it is also a base with a considerable number of people.Including the soldiers who work and recuperate here, there are currently more than 3 Zerg here.

The general manager of Kish was very excited when he heard the news that Ronan was coming three days ago.By the time the Nebuchadnezzar docked at the space port of the Kish base, the chief executive had already been waiting at the port, personally welcoming Ronan and his party off the ship.He is a slightly fat middle-aged man, not a soldier, but a shrewd businessman.

After the group settled down, the person in charge personally explained the next inspection arrangement to Ronan.

Tomorrow morning, the entire Kish base, except for patrol posts and certain posts that must be on duty, all soldiers will gather first and wait in a large square.They will bring flowers as a gift and present them to Ronan.And what they arranged for Ronan was to take an open-top aircraft, hover at a low altitude, and tour around the soldier phalanx.Ronan can condolences to comrades while reviewing.

The person in charge is very thoughtful, even Ronan's lines are prepared.

Ronan took the lines and imagined this scene in his mind.

Sitting on the open-top aircraft, the high-spirited Ronan passed by at a low altitude, waving his hands below: "Hello, everyone!"

Below is a short skirt with leg hair dancing with flowers in hand, tumbling for joy, and responding like a tsunami: "Hello, Mr. Xiongzi!"

Then they waved their hands, and the rainstorm of flowers flew towards the aircraft at the speed of cannonballs, drowning themselves.

Ronan decisively refused.Fried also rejected this plan at a glance. His reason was that the security of the flower presentation link was difficult to control.If there are dangerous items mixed in the flowers, Ronan's survival coefficient will be greatly reduced.

Ronan gave Fried a grateful look.He had a discussion with the person in charge: "Why don't we forget about the ceremony of presenting flowers?"

The fat person in charge rubbed his hands, looking a bit embarrassed.After a little consideration, he said: "Master Ronan is here, it is a great honor for our entire Kish base. We must not say that there is no such thing. However, since the safety factor is not high, then we will hold a simple inspection ceremony Let's go. Old tradition, let's fire some cannons and firework. How about it?"

Ronan thinks this is okay.So he looked at Fried, who also nodded.

Not to mention that Ronan rested overnight, and the person in charge of Kish went to prepare for tomorrow's review.Ronan showed up for the parade on time after breakfast the next morning.At this time, almost all the Zergs in the Kish base came out in full force and lined up in the square in advance.

The review was really simple, the person in charge didn't talk nonsense, and asked him to walk from the review stand to the aircraft.Ronan stood on an open-top aircraft that hovered almost close to the ground, and there were crowds of people waiting for inspection below.Being looked up by tens of thousands of soldiers in military uniforms, Ronan's blood beat a little faster.But I still tried my best to control myself to stay calm.

Fried and his guards sat beside Ronan, keeping him safe.

The aircraft moves slowly, bringing air flow.Ronan who was close could see their faces, and they all kept straddling postures with their hands behind their backs.

The strong wind knows the strong grass.These soldiers are indeed excellent fighters, with firm will and strong self-control ability.Ronan stood on it like a torch, and a steady stream of pheromones swept across the square like a storm.However, everyone stood motionless. Although their pupils dilated slightly, no one moved or spoke.There was no sound in the whole square.Ronan could even hear his own breathing.

There was silence in the communication channel.

After turning around so slowly, Ronan finally returned to the inspection stand, and the person in charge was still standing there. At this point, the inspection was basically over.In fact, his pheromone is too strong to be blocked by a wall. This review is just to let the soldiers recognize their faces.Next there is no need to gather together.At this moment, Ronan breathed a sigh of relief.Then the person in charge, as long as he announces the end, he will be disbanded.Ronan could leave the stage, but the person in charge suddenly shouted into the communication channel: "Prepare!"

Ronan was wondering, the person in charge should direct the fireworks beforehand?It was quite grand.

Then, he yelled, "Let go!"

Ronan was taken aback by the sound of his voice.

Dozens of whistling sounds sounded, and dozens of light beams rose from around the square.The illuminated ground is bright.

Ronan asked strangely: "How can light energy weapons have a sound?" Isn't this sound wrong?And why is it so bright around them?

Fried beside him said in a low voice, "That is their sound effect."

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the surroundings are pale and bright.Just when Ronan was weird.

Fried whispered to him, "Look up."

Ronan looked up to the sky.In the distant sky, the sun of this galaxy is still dazzling.But there is a star—it should be an asteroid in this solar system, which is emitting light that almost covers the sun—it is slowly deforming, and the olive-shaped outer shell that is visible to the naked eye emits a pale white light that is getting brighter and brighter , while flowing and expanding slightly like molten iron.

The person in charge saw Ronan looking up at the sky, with his chin closed, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Don't worry, this is an uninhabited planet, and the people and supplies in the surrounding starry sky have been evacuated."

"This...isn't it a bit too grand?!" Ronan couldn't find the right words to describe his current mood.

"It's not grand, it's not grand at all. It's just a small thought from us." He was very humble on his lips, but his expression was indeed very proud: "As long as the adults like to watch it, that's fine."

Ronan was dazzled by the little sun, lowered his head, and rubbed his eyes.When he opened his eyes again, when he looked down, he found that all the soldiers below were watching him.No matter where they stood, their eyes were all turned toward him in unison.Even if there was a melting star in the sky, no one looked up, let alone squinted their eyes to resist the dazzling light.

At this time, the person in charge raised his voice again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get ready."

Ronan was startled again, thinking that they were going to set off another big firecracker in silence.

Who knew, the person in charge just ordered: "Salute!"

Tens of thousands of people swiped together like one person. With a "snap", like a thunderstorm, countless soldiers under the reviewing platform raised their arms and saluted Ronan from afar.At the farthest point, Ronan could no longer see their faces.I don't know if they can see themselves.

The soldiers beside him also raised their arms and saluted him.

Ronan hesitated, waved to everyone, and then left the square.

Ronan only stayed at the Kish base for one day. After being sent off reluctantly by the person in charge, Ronan set off for the next destination again.When we went there, the Nebuchadnezzar was empty. When we left, the warehouse on the Nebuchadnezzar was already half full, full of gifts from the soldiers.Although Ronan had already asked Fried to tell the person in charge of the base that he would not accept gifts.However, at the time of farewell, the person in charge still brought many gifts.

He said: "Look, it's all here... How dare you let you go back empty-handed. These are not valuable gifts, but just the wishes of their soldiers. The dignified Lord Xiongzi came to work in the army, and the soldiers didn't give anything. How do you feel sorry for it?"

Fried opened his mouth and was about to say something.

He interrupted him, paused and continued: "The army has organized male labor before, but that was after the truce, a safe rear. You are the first male to come to our Kish base in 300 years. If you If we don't accept this gift this time, our base will no longer be able to hold our heads upright and be a worm..."

Speaking of this, Ronan had no choice but to accept it.Make up your mind to explain it again and again at the next stop.

The person in charge turned to Freed and saluted again with a "snap".Although a little fat, his movements are of an amazing standard.Although he is only a support staff, his position is not much lower than Fried.Fried immediately returned the salute.

The person in charge did not let go, but said slowly: "Master Xiongzi's safety depends on you, please be careful at all times. The battle ahead is fierce, and it must be more dangerous."

Fried replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"

The fat person in charge put down his hands, and a smile appeared on his face again.Turning to Ronan, he said, "My lord, goodbye then. I hope to meet you on the central star next time."

Ronan nodded.The group returned to the spaceship.In the next ten days, as if they had forgotten Ronan's mission of coordinating the peace talks, they went to seven or eight large bases in a row, advancing along the established route.Later one day even went to two bases.

Although the military chose very safe routes for him along the way, the tight schedule and the ubiquitous shadow of war exhausted his mental and physical strength.

Until Ronan felt a little tired, they finally completed their visit to the last base, and finally the next stop was Kulla Fortress.

After dinner, Ronan sat alone in the stern of the spaceship.As a large battleship, the Nebuchadnezzar has an advantage in that it has a large area and complete equipment.In addition to general combat use, it can even serve as a flagship in temporary missions.One of his structures is also similar to the flagship. There is a slightly protruding transparent structure at the stern, allowing people to observe half of the starry sky with the naked eye.

Ronan was sitting alone on the deck chair here.After half the rate, I felt that there was a person behind me.You don't even need to look back to know who that person is.

"What are you thinking?" Fried asked suddenly - these days he didn't go around teasing females like the rumors said before, and he lost a lot of weight, but gradually became more and more silent.It was as if all the energy was spent on silence.

Ronan looked up lazily at him.

"How many years has this war been going on?" He asked casually.

Fried walked to his side, "more than four years." The war has been going on, but the last large-scale battle on the southern front started at that time, and Ronan had not yet appeared at that time.

Ronan raised his hand and handed him a cigarette.He took this pack of cigarettes from a soldier's pocket.

Fried hesitated and declined, he never used this thing.Ronan didn't mind either, he took the outstretched hand back and put the cigarette in his mouth.But it's not lit yet.

Ronan just stared out the window in a daze.The two stood and sat for an unknown amount of time.Ronan finally stood up, stretched his waist, took down the unlit cigarette, and said as if he had just woken up: "Hey, after sitting for so long, it's time to go to sleep. Why don't you remind me?" ? Go back to sleep."

They finally reached Kurla around noon the next day.The atmosphere here is not as tense as Ronan expected.It seemed a little relaxed.The person in charge arranged accommodation for Ronan.Only then did Ronan learn that the representatives of the Rebel Army and the Empire had arrived five days ago.
