Chapter 1692 Black Humor
Although the starship was severely damaged, at the same time, the disguise on the outside was completely gone.
Then, the true appearance could be barely seen, and it turned out to be a... modified battalion-class ship!
"It's a converted warship," Yuanyuan said with a wry smile, "No wonder it's so big and courageous. It's quite interesting."
"This has nothing to do with the military," the military personnel flatly denied. What a joke! They absolutely cannot take the blame!
"Let me explain. After the military's warships are retired, only those above the regiment level will be destroyed and sealed."
As mentioned before, the retirement of every regimental-level ship will be recorded.
Those that have storage value will be sealed, and if they lose their value one day in the future, they may become target ships for military exercises.
Other regimental-level ships will carry out the destruction procedure.
Decommissioned company-class ships are usually sold to paramilitary organizations or military agencies, which can be regarded as utilizing their last value.
Battalion-level ships are relatively useless, but theoretically, some can be sold.
However, warships of this level cannot be operated by ordinary departments.
Not only does it require a good relationship with the military, but it also has to change its appearance.
That’s right, the military will not tolerate its own retired battalion-level ships appearing in any organization - in fact, the government cannot tolerate it either.
As an aside, this shows how rare it is for Digital Phantom to receive regimental and division-level ships as gifts from the military.
The military's statement at this moment was only to indicate that although this starship was converted from a battalion-level ship, it was not the work of the military.
"If we want to take action, we can use more covert means. Why do we have to hide it so clearly?"
"Okay, but it doesn't matter," Yuanyuan said nonchalantly, "We don't plan to hold back anyway."
However, the military still tried to persuade them, "But these three starships...it's best to leave them to the authorities."
"Impossible," Yuanyuan refused flatly.
"They bully us because our main force is not here, and they still want to survive... If they dare to gamble, we dare to take it."
"Please tell everyone that if anyone can't stand it, just go and save them. But before you do anything, please think about the consequences!"
The military agreed to pass on the message and at the same time asked, "Has your main force returned?"
Yuanyuan's answer was very direct. "Don't worry about whether he has returned or not. As far as the government is concerned, don't even think about expecting us to help you!"
The military was still trying to persuade them, but Yuanyuan asked back, "Do you know the cause and effect of thunder? If you don't understand, go ask!"
"If the main force really returns, it won't just be the people on these four starships that will be killed!"
Her words actually sentenced the lives of the crew members of the three starships in advance.
When the military returned and learned about the situation, they were shocked - the Empire's research on the divine writing system was quite extensive.
So if outsiders come into contact with the thunder, there will be such serious consequences?
To be honest, more than one person in the military was cursing: How dare you approach such a big threat? What are you thinking?
However, this matter is a bit helpless, because the negative effects of thunder are themselves a very niche knowledge point.
Those who want to come into contact with the thunder are only focused on the benefits of successfully surviving the thunder and don't bother to consider anything else.
It can also be said that this is another manifestation of being blinded by greed.
In any case, the military passed on Digital Phantom's words, and no one on the three starships dared to rescue the people.
Later, someone on the starship tried to eject to escape, but a small ship took off from the base and killed the person directly.
Of these three starships, the one that lasted the longest only crashed on a desolate planet after twenty-five days.
Although no one was killed by magic weapon, no one walked out of the starship alive.
Many of them watched their lives enter the countdown, and some even committed suicide due to mental breakdown.
This incident later became ironclad evidence of Digital Phantom's cold-bloodedness.
However, this incident did not affect the team's reputation much, because there are really very few saints in the empire.
Since you dare to steal from the house when the owner is away, you must be prepared to bear the consequences!
It was on the fifth day after the last starship crashed that someone from the military came to deliver a message.
Officials believe that the alliance’s artificial intelligence issue is urgent.
I wonder if those big guys who have returned from your side can help me? The price is negotiable.
The military is actually still a little confused at this moment, whether or not someone from the Digital Phantom has really returned.
The supreme being who wields the seal might have never left.
Otherwise, it would be hard for them to imagine how these expedition leaders passed through those passages.
However, Yuanyuan’s answer was: If you understand the cause and effect of the thunder, you should not make such a shameless request.
If we hadn't stopped them, the empire would have been a river of blood.
Ten days later, the military brought over a dozen heads, saying that they were the group of people who wanted to interfere with the thunder robbery, as well as the mastermind behind the scenes.
The empire was ruthless this time and acted swiftly and decisively without any setbacks.
In fact, this group of people, like the people on the four starships not long ago, are all gamblers.
Life is always full of gambles of one kind or another.
Everyone wants to follow the winners to enjoy the good life, but the more people follow the winners, the smaller the benefits will be.
And there are some winners that you can’t follow just because you want to.
At this time, those who have a stronger gambling nature will inevitably consider taking a chance on the opponent. After all, the benefits are big enough, right?
But once something goes wrong, they will not be soft-hearted when others take action against them. This is called accepting defeat.
However, it can be seen from this that the empire is really anxious, and the thugs who were at the forefront of the charge were sold as soon as they were told to.
The military also specifically guaranteed that these people were definitely the people involved and not scapegoats pushed forward by the government.
This explanation also sounds like a bit of black humor.
The fact that the government specifically pointed out this point shows that this kind of thing has been done a lot in the past.
Unfortunately, Yuanyuan didn't care about this. She just asked in return: Does anyone think that we can't kill these people?
We didn't care about it before because we wanted to solve the problem of the aliens first. We can solve these few guys as soon as we have the chance.
The military was completely speechless. So let us ask, can we have a face-to-face interview with the gentleman who holds the seal?
But Yuanyuan’s answer was: He was one of the main forces of the expedition and has left again.
If she hadn't said that, the military would probably have guessed so.
But when she really said that, the military was puzzled: How did she come back?
Yuanyuan didn't answer, but just said that we suffered a terrible battle with Asura a while ago.
Then she released three division-level ships - these three warships were quite damaged, so please help maintain them.
The two Alliance division-level ships are a little difficult to maintain, after all, they are not of the Imperial standard.
However, the division-level ship painted with digital phantom markings surprised the military even more. "How could it be defeated like this?"
This battleship holds an extremely special place in the hearts of the imperial warriors.
Not to mention the soldiers on the two front lines of the Alliance and the Federation, seeing this battleship was more exciting than seeing their own command ship.
The key point is that in other military regions, the Digital Phantom’s division-level ships are also legendary.
If word gets out that this battleship has become as miserable as it is now, the consequences... will be really hard to predict.
The military then checked and found that the three warships were indeed caused by inexplicable damage.
So they couldn't help but ask again, "What kind of battle did you go through to get this kind of injury?"
"That was the experience of the main force, how would I know?" Yuanyuan replied calmly, "Can you guys repair it?"
This must be repairable. Needless to say, just analyzing the various damages can provide the Imperial Army with a lot of insights.
The handling of trauma can also help the Imperial military accumulate sufficient experience to deal with similar incidents.
But the military couldn't help but express their deep sorrow - in fact, they were also trying to find out, "How did he get injured like this?"
These are three division-level ships. In the hands of Digital Phantom, their power should be far greater than that of three fully-strength divisions!
"The losses of the aliens were even greater," Yuanyuan answered confidently, "It would be difficult for even ten federal divisions to accomplish our combat results."
"We believe this," the military really had no doubt about it, "but can you tell us the details of the battle?"
"I don't know that," Yuanyuan refused. "The government has so many tricks. You can go to the government."
Most of the members of Digital Phantom are dissatisfied with the government, and she doesn't mind showing her personal emotions at all.
At the same time, Qu Jianlei and others have returned to Link Nebula again.
This trip to the empire made their nostalgia fade even more.
Most members of the team had a neutral feeling about the Empire.
Compared with the Garbage Star faction, people like Jing Yuexin who passed by the Garbage Star are considered to have a high degree of recognition for the Empire.
But even so, she never hesitated when she took action against the entire Teikyo Academy.
The only person in the team who still has some inclination towards the Empire is Dorgan.
In the past, everyone thought that it might be because the eldest brother’s physique attracted bad luck, which led to the family often encountering problems.
Now everyone can finally be sure that it is not a question of attracting bad people or not.
Digital Phantom is already such a big card, but when the main force is not at home, it still suffers from being robbed.
This kind of thing cannot be described as accidental. Once or twice is accidental, but if it happens many times, there must be deep-seated reasons.
After all, the digital shadows rose too quickly before and some people couldn't adapt to it, but now they are too powerful.
It is so powerful that some forces cannot remain stable at all, so it is normal for them to resort to all kinds of evil tricks.
In short, the empire is no longer the most suitable soil for them to survive.
Of course, the Alliance and the Federation may not be the same, so their future development direction may be to wander the interstellar space again.
After returning to the Link Nebula, everyone decided to first maintain the surrounding star field.
After all, after the last battle, if Asura wants to return, he has to consider what he will encounter here.
