Chapter 185 Reception Ceremony
Today is the most solemn moment in the history of the Zejin.
The Chief Inspector of the First Chamber of the Eye of Oversight, Lord Illian, the Lord of the Star Order, is about to board the ship.
For most of the crew members of the Zekin, this was the first time they had come into such close contact with such a high-ranking figure, and they couldn't help but feel nervous and excited.
The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang all changed into their most decent uniforms. Jiamoer wore a light jacket, but everyone could see that her bright orange hair was carefully groomed. Ms. Fei still wore her daily simple attire, but she also wore the ceremonial jewelry unique to the Yimen people.
"Today will be the day when Lord Illian is in the lowest mood," Zhang Fei said. As soon as he said this, the crew members on the ship laughed knowingly.
This is a mocking remark. The Eye of Supervision is a high and mighty existence that is no different from a ghost or god to the people of the Galaxy. They look down on people from a high position and coldly make judgments one after another. Even the princes and nobles will only feel uneasy in front of the Supervisor of the Eye of Supervision and wonder if they have done something wrong. The Eye of Supervision is more terrifying than most of the galactic nobles and planetary rulers. This is the consensus of the people of the Galaxy.
And now, a real big man of the Overwatch Eye, Chief Inspector Illian, will personally board the Zekin and lower his noble head. All this is as unreal as a dream for all the crew members.
Although there is a special envoy of the Eye of Supervision, Roken M89, on the ship, it is, after all, an ordinary-looking robot. The ship owner Yan Zhen and Captain Ban have never treated Roken M89 in any special way. After getting along with each other for a period of time, everyone has more or less forgotten the identity of Roken M89.
Now, a real high-ranking official of the Overwatch Eye has come to thank them.
Xiaozhen and Captain Ban stood on the access platform, and Roken M89 stood beside them. Behind them were Gamor, Ms. Fei, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, in addition to several representatives of the refugees. In the previous life-and-death speed jump battle, some refugees served as temporary crew members and made great contributions.
In the starry sky, the Infinity of Space dispatched several light landing ships. These light ships flew in unison and sailed into the spacecraft entrance of the Zekin with perfect lightness.
The entrance hatch closed and the landing ship hatch opened.
The first to appear were eight Eye of Overwatch Star Order warriors. They were wearing armor and helmets, with weapons across their chests. The scarlet Eye of Overwatch emblem gleamed on their shoulder armor.
With neat steps and meticulous formation, after walking out of the cabin door, they immediately spread out to both sides and formed two rows.
"What a grand gesture." Zhang Fei said softly.
Considering the position of Inspector General Illian, such a pomp was not too exaggerated, or it could be said that it was already very restrained, Xiao Zhen thought.
The Star Order soldiers placed their guns across their chests to salute the crew of the Zekin, then turned around in an awe-inspiring uniformity, saluting with their guns.
Then, Illian appeared.
The famous leader of the Star Order appeared from the hatch. No matter from which angle, Lord Illian was a handsome man, his short brown-gold hair gleaming under the lamp, his expression was indifferent, and his face was handsome and strong. He held his helmet in one hand and walked towards the passage with a solemn step , followed closely by one of his adjutants.
When he walked towards Xiao Zhen and his group, all the crew members present felt the powerful aura from Illian, which was a solemn and murderous aura tempered by the battlefield and an innate elegance. The edge of his armor was decorated with exquisite vine leaf patterns, and he was wearing a white cloak. The mysterious inscriptions and emblems on the cloak represented his position in this huge power organization in the galaxy.
When his eyes swept over the crowd, everyone felt a strong respect, mixed with admiration and fear. Some of the refugee representatives even knelt on the ground. The terrible mental oppression, Xiao Zhen thought, fortunately he is not an enemy now.
Illian spoke, his voice was extremely pleasant, "Thank you very much to everyone on the Zekin."
The humble and elegant voice stirs everyone's heart.
"It was your heroic fight that saved the Star Order. You disregarded your own safety and came alone on a single ship to rescue us. In my limited career, such a feat is rare. I, Illian, on behalf of all the crew members of the Space Infinity, Black Onyx, and Judgment Envoy, sincerely thank you for your rescue."
Ilian clenched his fist in front of his chest and nodded in salute.
The crew of the Zekin was in a state of confusion.
"Oh my God, this important person actually saluted us." Jiamoer said softly.
Ms. Fei remained silent, but tears were shining in her eyes.
Zhang Fei excitedly turned to Liu Bei and Guan Yu and said, "The Eye of Supervision thanks us! Are we dreaming?!"
Liu Bei looked directly at Ilian and said proudly, "This is true. The Eye of Supervision is thanking us, the Inspector General is thanking us."
Xiao Zhen spoke up: "We didn't save all the ships. When we jumped, I saw a ship fell behind."
Illian looked at Xiao Zhen and said, "That is the Lightning Ranger. It is filled with my loyal and brave men. They paid the price for the filthy enemy with their lives. In addition, five warships were sacrificed in the previous encounter."
“They should be remembered.”
"Yes," Illian said again, "Let me express my gratitude to you all once again, and I will also remember all the heroic sacrifices, who also deserve all the praise."
"Well said!" one of the refugee representatives shouted enthusiastically.
"Hail to all the heroes, living and dead." Illian saluted again.
All the crew members of the Zejin also bowed their heads to pay tribute to the soldiers who had just died.
After a moment of mourning, Illian stood up, his eyes fell on Captain Madara, and he said:
“Why is there a chicken here?”
The scene fell into deathly silence.
"Puff!" Everyone turned to look at Zhang Fei, who was laughing.
Just as Captain Madara was flapping his wings angrily to prove that he was not just some ordinary food chicken, a sarcastic low voice sounded on the deck: "The way you say thank you is really a nice sight."
Shark Tooth, the wanted criminal that terrified countless galacticians, swaggered out from the refugee representatives. Even the disciplined warriors of the Eye of Supervision were shaken at that moment. He was like a king walking out of the darkness, pale and sharp, with a venomous smile on his face, "What a mess, Illian."
Illian stared at him, his hand on the hilt of his sword. "There's a barking dog here."
"Is this how you talk to your lifesaver?" Shark Tooth stretched out his tone, "Is this how you plan to greet your benefactor?"
Ilian looked at Roken M89. In his eyes, Roken M89 was the actual commander of the ship.
"Shark Teeth really provided support to our rescue operation," said Roken M89.
"That can't atone for his sins." Ilian's voice was cold. "Sharktooth, you have no way to escape now." A murderous aura spread from his body, and his sword flashed with the light of an energy field.
"Oh." Shark Tooth crossed his arms over his chest, "Look at your arrogant attitude, have you forgotten something? Now you are on the boat of your savior."
"What's the meaning?"
Shark Tooth walked up to Xiao Zhen and patted her shoulder affectionately. "I'm so sorry, I'm imprisoned by this lovely young man. If you want to arrest me, you should ask him."
Ilian looked at Xiao Zhen in confusion. Xiao Zhen said, "I installed a micro-bomb on his heart. It will explode as long as he is thirty meters away from me. If I die, the micro-bomb will also explode."
"This is not safe. I think you still underestimate the danger of that murderer." Ilian said, "I ask you to hand over the shark tooth..."
"Is this your attitude towards your savior?" Shark Tooth grinned, "The great Inspector General has just been rescued, and you want to take away his benefactor's belongings? In front of so many refugees, is this the principle of your Supervisory Eye?"
Illian stood not far from Shark Fang, holding the sword shining with energy in one hand in front of him, staring at him motionlessly. The passage fell into silence again.
There seemed to be an invisible and silent storm roaring between the two, suffocating everyone present. Most of the crew members did not dare to look up at the two, but just stood there in cold sweat, this was the instinctive fear of being too powerful.
"Roken M89, report to me truthfully about the control situation of Shark Fang." Ilian suddenly spoke.
"Lord Illian, we are fully capable of controlling Sharkfang and handing him over to Hope Township."
"Roken M89, are you sure?"
"Sure."
After a moment's silence, the light of the sword in Illian's hand went out, and he slowly and firmly put the sword back.
"Seeing you cooperate like this really makes me happy." Shark Tooth said with a smile.
"Hmm? Cooperation? Is that how you understand it?"
"What else?"
Ilian took two steps forward and said softly, "I will keep an eye on you. Just wait."
Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone on the deck, making people feel creepy.
Sharktooth smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, his strange gray-blue eyes sparkling, "Your shamelessness always surprises me. So wait and see."
After a series of reception ceremonies, Lord Illian sat in the control room of the Zekin.
After he sat down, the whole control room suddenly had a more magnificent atmosphere. Captain Madara, Xiao Zhen and Roken M89 sat opposite him. After Roken M89 introduced that the captain of this ship was actually a chicken, Ilian looked at Captain Madara very seriously. Although he was confused, he did not make any further comments.
He naturally handed the helmet to his adjutant and raised his hand to take the data tablet that Ms. Fei handed to him.
"A purple top secret alert," Fee said. "This is the message we received on the Mistland."
"Has the Fogland Planet already fallen..." Ilian said softly, his fingers touching the data pad. "This alarm has 12 hidden codes. Although I have the authority to decipher it, I also need the support of the technical officer on the Expanse."
Roken M89 asked: "How long does it take to interpret?"
"It won't be long." Illian put down the data tablet. "Right now, the main engine of the Space Expanse is damaged, and the Black Onyx and Judgment Envoy have both suffered varying degrees of damage."
Xiao Zhen said: "The nearest port with conditions to repair starships is only Shanles."
"That will be our destination," Illian said. "All long-distance communications cannot be sent now. This star region is extremely dangerous. I noticed that the Zerkin was also damaged. I suggest that we go to Shanles together. The Star Order will protect you."
Xiao Zhen shook his head. He said, "I have to get to Hope Township as soon as possible. I have to find my friend and hand over the shark tooth."
Ilian frowned and said, "Young man, Shark Tooth is far more dangerous than you think. I suggest you come with us."
Shark Tooth, who was standing at the door, smiled and said, "Ilian, you are really annoying people. Didn't you hear that your benefactor doesn't want to go with you?"
Ilian ignored Shark Tooth's provocation and continued to persuade Xiaozhen sincerely, "He is really at risk, and it is not worth it for you to risk the lives of the entire ship. You insist so much, do you have any personal grudge against him?"
Xiao Zhen was stunned, and he blurted out: "Oh yes, there is indeed a grudge. He stole the dog."
Shark Tooth said, "I didn't steal the dog."
Ilian said, " You actually stole a dog?"
"I said I didn't!!"
