Chapter 31
"Selinda?" Rong Yuan was stunned, then he smiled: "If you lie, my previous promise will be invalid. Do you understand?"
"It's true, I didn't lie to you!" Orion said anxiously. He raised his upper body with all his strength, looked at Rong Yuan, and said, "Her Highness the Princess believes that your existence is a threat to the empire. Since you can't be used for her own benefit, the only way out is destruction. You know yourself that your ability is not allowed by the rulers at all."
Rong Yuan looked at him seriously, shook his head, and stopped arguing with him. He only said, "I believe my eyes." After a pause, he asked, "Do you have any last words?"
Orion's eyes suddenly widened, as if he suddenly remembered his situation. His mouth was half open, and his teeth made a clicking sound. His body trembled instinctively. After a long while, he murmured, "I...I...please..."
"There is great terror between life and death." Rong Yuan said softly, placing a hand on Orion's forehead, looking into his eyes filled with fear and pleading, "It doesn't matter if you lied to me, it doesn't matter if you set a trap to kill me, because you are just an insignificant pawn. But what happened in Paradise City cannot be forgiven."
"I think you should thank me for my kindness more than anything you've done."
After he finished speaking, he patted Orion's head lightly, and it became like a broken water ball, with thin streams of blood gushing out from all seven orifices at the same time.
Rong Yuan stood up, wiped his hands, and his eyes were extremely indifferent.
At this point, the Tyrant Army was completely destroyed.
The collapse of one of the four major cities in Central City had less impact than anyone thought.
In fact, after the explosion of the Tyrant Army's artificial mountain, the chaos was basically over. After that, only some small-scale battles occurred between Howl and some of the remaining minions of the Tyrant Army, but after Bai Xiang said that he would no longer pursue the former Tyrant Army members, even these small splashes gradually subsided.
Some of the partners of the Tyrant Army were killed by Rong Yuan because they were involved in the Paradise City incident, but their power and property were still there, and the death of their master was good news to many people. So soon, the former owner's deputy, lover, brother, or deputy's deputy took over, and people found that except for the familiar faces replaced by unfamiliar but more enthusiastic smiles, there was no change... Well, there were some changes. Some stores held discounts and promotions to celebrate the death of the former owner, which also brought a small wave of popularity.
Howling quickly occupied most of the east, west and north areas of Zhongxi City, becoming the largest force in the central city. The Baihua Club and Mingzhao College were silent about this, and even shrunk their territory to avoid any misunderstandings or conflicts. In fact, no one had expected that Howling could overthrow the Tyrant Army, which had stood on Prison Star for a thousand years, in just one day. The strength displayed by the man in the small building in this process was simply terrifying. No one dared to test their bottom line without authorization, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the Tyrant Army.
The spies near the small building disappeared silently, but its status in people's minds has undoubtedly reached the level of a devil.
Rong Yuan did not participate in the subsequent events, and all were handled by Bai Xiang and his Howling Knights. At the same time, Bai Xiang vacated the ten floors below the small building, settled the 321 children rescued by Rong Yuan from Paradise City here, and arranged for someone to take care of them. Some of the children were seriously injured or sick, and Rong Yuan cured them one by one in the following days. But there were also some children like Qi Gen who were physically disabled, and Rong Yuan had no good way to deal with them for the time being, and could only wait until he returned to the empire in the future for further treatment.
When he has free time, Rong Yuan would also think about Serinda.
They met one hundred and twenty years ago.
At that time, Kayul had long been destroyed. Although the Feiyan Team led by Rong Yuan only had a few people, they had already made a great name for themselves in the Milky Way Interstellar Alliance. That was the most relaxed and free time for them. There were no goals that had to be completed, and no enemies against them. They drove the spaceship, traveling from one planet to another, and taking on some mercenary tasks to earn a living.
Once, they took on the task of hunting down war criminals from a certain country. They followed clues all the way to the depths of a swamp and finally caught the criminals. Everyone was so tired that they didn't care about the stench around them and just sat on the ground to rest.
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound in the air, as if many people were whistling, and then a dozen people appeared from the distance on low-altitude gliding flying boards, flying across the water, looking extremely graceful.
Everyone looked sideways.
It's not that they don't have this kind of thing on their spacecraft, but according to the laws of the planet, in order to protect the local natural landscape and primitive customs, many high-tech products are restricted from entering the country, and this flying board is one of them. These people are blatantly breaking the law. However, they are not the local law enforcement team, so they don't bother to care about him.
But those people stopped near them, and one of them came out and asked, "Hey, have you seen a red-haired, blue-eyed aboriginal girl?"
——Carbon-based and silicon-based organisms have countless development directions and species choices. On the surface, there is no fixed and obvious difference. Therefore, the Interstellar Alliance divides intelligent species according to their appearance characteristics. Land creatures like Rong Yuan, who walk upright, have a brain and hands that can perform delicate work, are the original human race. There is a Piqiu alien named Pari in the team. Although he can survive on land, the most suitable environment for him is the deep sea. He looks like a cute big octopus, so he belongs to the sea race.
The people who suddenly appeared were all natives. Because the tone and attitude of the person who asked the question were very rude, everyone gave him a look at first and ignored them. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Dunke, the Rock Star with the best temper in the team, finally replied: "No, we are the only ones here."
The man snorted coldly and was about to say something, but was suddenly pulled by the person behind him and pointed at Dunke's clothes. He realized that on the clothes and belongings of these dusty people, there was a golden-red bird that looked like the incarnation of fire. His face suddenly changed and he stopped talking. The group of people took some kind of instrument to scan it, and deliberately looked at Amirida who was sitting next to Rong Yuan for a few more times. After a long while without any results, they hurried away.
Dunker said sullenly, "Who are they looking for?"
"Who cares? It has nothing to do with us anyway!" Parry said indifferently, counting on his fingers what materials he could buy with the reward this time. He was the mechanic on the ship. From spacecraft to flush toilets, there was nothing he couldn't repair or do, and this was also his biggest hobby.
"I don't think they are good people." Dunke turned to Rong Yuan and asked, "Captain, what do you think?"
"There is no clear boundary between good guys and bad guys. You have to look at who is standing opposite them." Rong Yuan said lazily. He was not very interested.
Dunke nodded in agreement and did not ask further questions.
After chatting for a while, they recovered their strength and could no longer endure the harsh environment. They stood up and left. But not long after they walked out, something strange happened!
With a loud "splash", the swamp pool next to where they had just sat exploded, and a black figure covered in mud jumped out like a cannonball, landing right in front of Rong Yuan. She lay on the ground and retched for a while, then looked up at Rong Yuan and others who were full of surprise, then jumped up like a deer and ran away quickly.
That was the first time Rong Yuan and others met Serinda.
At that time, they had no idea that there would be so many disputes between the two sides in the future. Rong Yuan didn't even see Serinda's face clearly. He only saw a pair of eyes as blue as the sky and as bright as stars. The fleeting glance left a deep impression on him.
They successfully completed the mission and received their reward. Because it was a planet with unique scenery and a very pleasant climate, the group stayed a little longer, sightseeing, shopping, enjoying the beautiful scenery, tasting delicious food, and enjoying themselves.
The second time we met was more than a month later.
Rong Yuan and two or three team members were sitting in a small shop on the street, discussing their next itinerary, when they suddenly saw chaos on the street. People were screaming and running, shouting, "The dessert street has been hijacked by aliens!" "There are so many people inside!"
Rong Yuan frowned, stood up and said, "Yisili, come with me to take a look." He called the strongest member of the team, and said to the others, "You stay here and be careful."
"I understand." Emilida was already used to his style of doing things, so she only reminded him, "You should be careful too."
Rong Yuan and Yisili rushed over and saw that the dessert street had been surrounded by fearful and curious people and the country's law enforcement team. In the middle of the street, two or three hundred people were forced to sit on the ground, and there were many children crying out of fear.
The robbers did not tie up the men's hands and feet because they had an absolute advantage in force.
A dozen men in black stepped on the flight board, holding beam pistols in their hands, ion cannons on their shoulders, and wearing protective suits that could not cause any damage to the bombs on this planet. Two of them watched the hostages, and the rest stared at the crowd around them. One of them shouted with a megaphone: "Selinda, I know you are here! Come out immediately! Otherwise, I will kill one person every five minutes!"
"Why, kind-hearted Princess, can you watch innocent people being killed by you?"
"Captain, are you going to take action?" Yisili asked Rong Yuan in a low voice. These people can only intimidate the natives of these primitive planets. They have no chance of winning against Rong Yuan and his men.
Rong Yuan shook his head and said, "Wait a minute."
"Four minutes!"
“Three minutes!”
"Two minutes!"
"One minute!"
The man in black roared every minute, and every time, everyone's heart tightened suddenly, and the sense of urgency and infinite pressure came overwhelmingly. Waiting to die was not a pleasant feeling. One of the hostages, a child, could not bear such an atmosphere and cried out loudly.
The man in black shook his head, and one of his men immediately went up to grab the child. The child's parents immediately started to fight with him, and as expected, they were kicked aside, and the big hands wearing black gloves grabbed the child's neck.
"Wait! Let him go!"
Suddenly a clear shout came from the crowd, and a girl stepped out of the crowd, grabbed a black wig, and stood in front of the man in black.
He looked to be about ten years old, with short red hair that looked like it had been bitten by a dog, clear and bright blue eyes, a straight posture, and his clenched fists trembling slightly.
She was scared, but she stood up.
Rong Yuan smiled slightly.
Yisli stared at the girl with shining eyes.
