Blood Hunt Covenant

As Brady expected, the situation turned out to be serious.

When these regiment leaders received orders from their superiors to hold meetings overnight and listen to reports, the Internet was also full of undercurrents.

First of all, in a forum of the Association of Astronomy Amateurs, someone published his observation and calculation data for many years, and speculated that the asteroid mentioned in the news that night not only had a high probability of hitting the earth, but also had a very high speed, volume and mass. It is unusual, and pointed out that the existing technology of human beings can only play the role of delaying time in front of this asteroid, and cannot completely change its orbit.

"If the one-in-five percent probability comes true, the fate of the ancient earth's final destruction will befall the new earth again, and human beings will have to embark on the road of interstellar migration again." He finally concluded.

This post quickly got the support of several old people in the forum.More confidently said: "In my opinion, this probability is not [-]% but [-]%. In the next year, there will be as many as three asteroids with such a [-]% impact probability. Every There are enough reasons for humans to board the shuttle again. Even if the Federation and the Empire cooperate on this matter for the first time and try their best, they can only buy another two months for all mankind."

Such an assertion was quickly met with ridicule.Someone familiar with this person said bluntly: "You want to go crazy for interstellar travel!"

Another person added without hesitation: "If you want to board a shuttle ship, you must have a shuttle ship! At the beginning, all countries had been secretly preparing, but they just built a hundred ships in a hurry, and they were damaged when they landed." I have bought more than [-] ships, and I don’t know if the rest can be used. The current global population is ten times that of that time!”

"There is no shuttle ship? Can it be built? I heard that it was only a month or so at that time, and a hundred ships were built in the world. The production efficiency is now many times higher than that at that time, and a thousand ships cannot be built in two months." , It will be no problem to build three or four hundred ships!" Some people are full of confidence.

"Look at your level, you're still a newcomer, right? I'm not trying to scare you. The Federation can't even make one, let alone three or four hundred ships!"

"How could it be!" The newcomer was shocked.

"Don't you know? During that interstellar migration, Professor Kelton, known as the 'father of the shuttle ship', happened to be on the same ship as Richard Bruce, the first king of the empire. On the ship. It is said that they had a good chat during the entire voyage, and they all expressed that they hated seeing each other late. Therefore, when the king announced that he would establish a country on the Emerald Continent where they landed, the professor quickly responded and greeted his team and students.

"I don't know what charm that king has. The federal government has paid a lot of money to hire him many times and promised to give him various benefits, but Professor Kelton rejected them all.

"Later, the Federation recovered all [-] shuttle ships as research samples, but the key problem of ultra-long-distance space jumping has not been resolved. After more than a dozen failed experiments, the Federation government put this piece of research on hold. down."

"The empire's research on shuttle ships has been going on." Another person said, "A friend of mine over there said that his brother is researching the space jump of shuttle ships. It is said that in terms of distance, speed, stability and The safety has been improved a lot, and they recently got a big killer. It’s just that due to limited productivity, they can’t implement the technology on a real shuttle ship.”

"What what? What big killer?" Someone who was interested immediately asked.

"He didn't tell me, saying it was confidential."

"You tell him, 'What is confidential or not, in fact, there is no big killer at all'."

"The aggressive method doesn't work..."

The topic of this group of science geeks quickly turned to a place where eight poles could not be reached.

In the past, this kind of alarmist discussion would stop here.But a newcomer has been added to today's discussion, and the newcomer is in shock.His focus is not on "asteroids", "shuttle ships", and the gossip of the scientific community, which are generally concerned by science geeks, but on "destruction", "migration", and the fact that the Federation is not capable of developing shuttle ships.

The newcomer suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he felt that he had the responsibility to remind all human beings, at least those around him.So, he opened the forum he often visits, and put a headline on it:

"Please spread, if you still want to survive."

Survival is everyone's top concern.When the lives of all human beings are threatened at the same time, the power gathered is beyond the imagination of any government or organization.

This post quickly spread all over the major forums, and even appeared on the official websites of mainstream media, causing an uproar among people from all walks of life.

People took to the streets one after another, holding up banners and slogans, accusing the official media of understatement and irresponsibility when they broadcast the asteroid news, and accusing the government of concealing the truth and neglecting the study of the shuttle ship.

In the face of natural disasters, only the powerless people are left, and the only way is to seek the protection of the country.

This kind of parade gradually became large-scale. By the afternoon of the second day, the squares in front of the government offices of all cities in the federal territory were almost full of people, demanding that the government give a decent solution.

It is rare for all government offices to lock their doors uniformly, allowing people to yell and curse outside and refuse to answer any questions. Only a few staff members are outside to assist the troops of the military department to maintain order.

Finally, during the evening news, the huge screen above the square was lit up, and the official spokesperson appeared in front of the camera instead of the anchor, explaining the situation of the asteroid and the problems the government was facing.

"The King of the Empire has accepted the federal government's request for cooperation in negotiations. At a time when all mankind is facing an existential crisis, let us look forward to positive results together." The spokesperson concluded.

What follows are statements and commitments from the Federal President and dignitaries from various departments.With the persuasion of the staff of local government offices, the mood of the people finally stabilized, and the parade team gradually dispersed.Some people are still sticking to the square, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.

Suddenly, between the Federation and the Empire, from top to bottom, there was a peaceful atmosphere of working together to deal with the crisis.But at the banquet of the Mercenary Corps Association at noon that day, the post of head of the group was appointed to the head of the Knights, Kelly.

Kelly, this is just his code name, which means warrior, no one knows his real name.Kelly, who has a high reputation among soldiers and mercenaries, lives up to his name, absolutely obeying orders, absolutely executing them perfectly, cold, precise, and deadly.The Knights under his leadership also operated like a precise, deadly and efficient killing machine.But such a killing machine is connected with the federal government through Roy Jin, a major general of the military department.

Not only this generation, but every generation of knights is like this.Therefore, when the head of the Knights was appointed as the head of the association that can lead all the nearly [-] mercenary groups in the Federation, it means that the official military power and the violent civil institutions are integrated, and it means that the whole country is united as one. The attitude towards the outside world means the prelude to the war.

"It seems that the Federation has no sincerity in the negotiations." Xiao Feiyang propped his chin and observed Brady sitting opposite with interest.

Brady stirred the soup in front of him, hesitating whether to eat it or not.On the first day of confirming the relationship, his dear Xiao Feiyang cooked dinner for him very carefully.But given that this guy hasn't touched kitchen utensils for more than 1000 years, and doesn't have the function of tasting, Brady has a feeling of being used to test drugs.

"How could it be? It's all about being prepared! After all these years..." Brady finally made up his mind and tried to take the first bite.Suddenly, the tiger's body shook, and a wonderful feeling rose from the soles of its feet.

"How?" Xiao Feiyang asked impatiently.

"...not bad." Brady reluctantly replied.

"Is it hard to eat?" Xiao Feiyang asked very self-aware.

"Well..." Brady nodded with difficulty, the wonderful taste echoing in his mouth.

"I know! It smells a bit weird." Xiao Feiyang picked up the soup and poured it into the toilet without hesitation.

Brady was already teary-eyed: "What about the others?"

"Don't worry about eating! Doris sent it. Their group is going back tonight, and everyone is invited to dinner. You are not here, she sent it specially."

"Oh..." Brady intentionally reacted indifferently.

"Aren't you going to see her off?" Xiao Feiyang asked instead.

"Do you mind?" Brady asked back.

"What do you care about?" Xiao Feiyang laughed.

Brady laughed too.Yeah, what's the point?

"I heard from Doris that more than a dozen regiments have already returned to the station today. When are we going back to the City of Honor?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while. The honor group has received a new mission, and it's a large one."

"Escort the negotiators to the Emerald Continent?"

Brady nodded: "Those old guys actually assign tasks according to their points ranking. The person who should be ranked second should go, but William's combat power is negative, so I have to do it. That's right! I have to escort Zero In the past. That incomprehensible guy was actually the exchange condition that the empire agreed to negotiate."

"Exchange terms? He can't be the big killer mentioned in that post! He has spatial abilities!"

Brady was taken aback: "Maybe. And..."

"what?"

"Remember what he said when he was arrested?"

"Ah!" Xiao Feiyang stood up excitedly, "It might come true!"

"Yeah, because of his prophecy ability, the Empire might have already started preparing. The Federation is completely passive." Brady nodded, remembering another piece of information that Zero wanted to provide them, and couldn't help but want to tease Tease Xiao Feiyang, "Speaking of Zero's prophecy ability, do you want to ask him when we will break up?"

"What? Don't! He, he, he can't be sure! He didn't even predict when we will be together!" Xiao Feiyang panicked.

Brady suppressed a smile, still cutting the steak calmly, and said lightly: "Maybe he thought we were already together at that time."

Xiao Feiyang, who hadn't drank blood tonight, his blood was heating up automatically, and finally his pupils turned red with a "puff", and he concluded: "I hate it, I hate it. That guy is a charlatan! Don't trust him!"
