Chapter 324 Back to the old business
Although he spoke beautifully, Boss Yang also had a headache facing the inferior fleet assembled by this group of nobles.
If there were hundreds of conventional ships gathered together, Yang Ming would only need to attack the opponent's flagship, capture the leader first, and paralyze the opponent's command system.
But the fleet put together by this group of nobles has about a dozen command centers.
This is a hot pot of chaos!
Bridge of the Dongfeng.
Yang Ming, Lu's simulated image, and 026 gathered in front of the sand table, constantly rehearsing the assault operation.
"The boss is only one person, it's impossible for him to invade twelve battleships at the same time," 026 puffed his lips, "The other side doesn't have a leading flagship, which puts us in a passive position."
Yang Ming clicked his tongue and said, "If we had a dreadnought, would we care about these small fry?"
"Boss, even if we can build a dreadnought-class ship now, we dare not use it, otherwise we will be chased and attacked by the Empire."
Lu reminded earnestly:
"The situation this time is rather special. You suppressed the nobles before, so it is normal for them to rebound now.
"Why don't we just show up on the surface and let them miss.
“It is indeed difficult to fight back at this stage. Although the opponent is a mob, they still have plenty of firepower.
"Or, we can just moisten it."
Run...
Lu's vocabulary also tends to be distorted by him.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's better to strike with one punch than with a hundred. If we get scared this time, White Ghost's reputation will be at least reduced by one tenth. Being extremely tough when facing the imperial nobles is also a major feature of White Ghost's image."
026 smacked his lips with some regret: "Our No. 1 base has already started producing anti-ship mechas. They are equipped with protective energy shields, polarizers, and high-energy ship-cutting knives, and can quickly complete ship-destroying operations. If we bring two anti-ship mechas, we may be able to deal with these twelve battleships in a short time."
Yang Ming wondered, "When did our family start developing this thing?"
"It's for Mimili," Lu explained softly.
"Let's continue to deduce," Yang Ming sighed, "or we can change our thinking and first find the most important nobles in these ships and try to make others hesitate."
"Our detector is too simple and the information we collected is limited. Boss, let me think about it."
Lu pinched his chin and hummed softly a few times, then lowered his head in deep thought.
026 was also racking her brains for an idea when Yang Ming suddenly poked her arm.
"26, once we have established a firm foothold on Saka Star, the two maids Hanyin and Hanxiang will also come over, and you will train them for a while."
"Me? I'm going to train them?"
026's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked back with a guilty conscience:
"Boss, do you have any misunderstanding about me? I am good at mecha maintenance and ship control. Should I teach them this?"
"Anyway, I've already boasted," Yang Ming spread his hands, "You are the second-ranked human general under my command. When the time comes, you should hold yourself up high and hold your head high. The other two will naturally feel ashamed and submit. I have confidence in you in this regard."
026 felt embarrassed, raised her hand to tidy up the short hair beside her ear, and said happily: "Well, hey, I'll do some homework in advance."
She didn't understand Boss Yang's praise.
Lu suddenly said, "There should be an organizer among them. I detected that a ship is sending out information very frequently... I am mobilizing the detector to observe it in detail."
Yang Ming and 026 also stopped chatting and waited for Lu to give the result.
After about ten minutes, Lu frowned slightly and turned to look at Yang Ming.
"What's wrong?" Yang Ming asked in confusion, "Is it so difficult?"
"It only takes a few milliseconds to decipher their communication system, mainly because it takes some time for the probe to close the distance."
The law said quickly:
"Boss, a prince named Kinov is on that battleship.
“He is the emperor’s elder brother and was good friends with Prince Venos in the past. Although he is not well-known among the people of the empire, he has great appeal in the aristocratic circle.
“This Prince Kinov is obviously the organizer of the conspiracy. If he is coerced, the possibility of the enemy ships opening fire will be greatly reduced.
"But he is a prince after all... If you attack him directly, you may be in a very passive position."
Yang Ming raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, with some hesitation in his eyes.
Are all these princes of the Sherman Empire too idle to care?
Although Prince Vinos was indeed a bit perverted, the emperor's uncle, Director Ino, made Yang Ming dispel the last bit of underestimation of the empire.
Now another prince has appeared and is actively looking for trouble with him...
"What crime is it that the Honorary Earl committed by attacking the Prince?" Yang Ming asked in a deep voice.
"According to the Imperial Noble Code, attacking a prince is equivalent to attacking a local governor-level official. In serious cases, the person may be sentenced to death."
Lu added:
“The Empire is one of the few human regimes in the galaxy that has not abolished the death penalty. Of course, the Empire itself still retains slavery.
“Although the title of earl can mitigate some crimes, but with most of the imperial nobles targeting you, you can imagine your fate.
"We might as well be decisive this time, Lu said."
026 whispered, "Yes, boss. Why don't we not go to Sakaar? There's no point in mixing with the imperial nobles."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "As long as I enter Saka and gain a foothold on Saka, and declare this place my territory, I will have a place in the Sherman Empire. It can be said that I have the foundation to formally participate in the aristocratic politics of the empire. Before, I was just a dog for the emperor."
Lu Ye said: "Indeed, if we leave now, our previous investment will be wasted. When the Luofeng Empire enters the fast lane of rise in the future, it will also need the forces within the empire to help Luofeng deal with things."
"I must go to Saka and take the territory. I also want to rely on this planet to develop my third force within the empire and make it bigger and stronger!"
Yang Ming patted the edge of the sand table, his eyes showing a bit of ruthlessness:
"Let's take this prince as an example. I will be careful with my approach and try not to scare the old man too much!"
Lu reminded seriously: "Boss, we don't have the emperor's support now."
"You are strong enough, why do you need their support?"
Yang Ming smiled confidently and said:
"026, go get me a few more sets of women's underwear, preferably new ones.
“Lü, do we have spy drones on the Dongfeng?
"It's the kind we used before that can infiltrate ships. I need to control that battleship."
"There are some, but not many. They are prototypes we developed ourselves," Lu nodded gently, "If it is only for one battleship, it should be enough."
Yang Ming squinted his eyes and smiled, turned his head and looked in the corner for a while, and soon saw his white ghost-specific battle robe.
"One ship is enough."
…
Prince Kinov, wearing a white suit and leaning on a walking stick carved with intricate patterns, sat quietly on a double sofa.
Behind him stood a row of strong men and women in uniform. These were transformed soldiers. They were the result of his transformation experiments using certain means and connections, and using the death warriors he had trained since childhood to participate in the transformation experiments.
He was over a hundred years old, but in his own opinion, he was still in his prime.
Therefore, he pays great attention to his own maintenance. He has very few wrinkles on his face and a strong body. Various technological means of extending human life can be found on him.
According to his medical team, he can live to at least 180 years old.
Jinofu exhaled lightly, turned his head and asked, "Are you ready?"
Immediately, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said with his head down:
“Don’t worry, sir. Everything has been arranged. As soon as the White Ghost appears, the two Viscounts will lose their minds because of the family’s blood feud and order the battleships to attack at full force.
"We have also arranged for the operators on the two battleships to be ours. The cruiser that the military gave to the White Ghost cannot withstand two artillery bombardments."
"Yeah, well done."
Prince Kinov nodded, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"No one can bully the Sherman family in the Sherman Empire. Today, I will avenge Brother Venos with blood!"
"But, sir," the middle-aged man whispered, "I heard that Director Ino once told us not to kill the White Ghost."
"Humph, even though he is my uncle, he is just the director of a research institute, so what can he do?" Prince Kinov said coldly, "His Majesty the Emperor already hates the White Ghost, and just based on this, he can put him to death."
"But sir, I heard that Director Ino has close relations with many princes and grand dukes, and he seems to be one of the hidden rulers of the Sherman family..."
Prince Kinov turned his head and looked at his men, puzzled: "Are you a member of the Sherman family? Or am I a member of the Sherman family?"
"You are, you are."
"If Uncle Ino is some hidden ruler, why haven't I felt his majesty in all these years?"
Prince Kinov snorted:
"Stop making wild guesses. Whoever becomes the emperor will be the head of the Sherman family. We, the emperor's brothers, were only one step away from the throne!"
"Yes, yes, I am too naive."
Two maids in narrow skirts hurried over and asked, "Your Highness, Count Revil of the Lasoga family has sent a communication request."
"Revil?" Jinuo asked, "Is he the young man that His Majesty values? I remember him. He's very handsome, and his butt is very nice."
The middle-aged man immediately said: "I heard that Revell has a close relationship with the White Ghost. Maybe he came to you to ask for mercy."
"I heard, I heard, can you get some definite information?"
Prince Kinov pounded the stick in his hand.
The middle-aged man could only sneer.
He pays great attention to the accuracy of language.
call out!
A strong light flashed outside the porthole. The two modified humans turned their heads to look, but found nothing unusual.
The ship 's usual shallow protective shield showed a slight abnormality, but several technicians on the ship were chatting over coffee, laughing and discussing the latest entertainment gossip, and did not see the indicator light that flashed and went out.
Outside the ship, Yang Ming grabbed a hatch and skillfully opened the protective switch of the external deck maintenance port. He removed an alloy plate more than 20 centimeters thick, revealing a sensor on the inside, and pulled down the eyeball-sized integrated sensor.
——Hanton had done this kind of work a lot when he was on Keygrove’s ship.
He opened the small bag on his waist and poured ant-sized spy drones near the gap in the sensor.
The drones crawled in like flowing water.
Next, just wait a few minutes.
Yang Ming lay in the groove of the deck, and his exoskeleton automatically adjusted itself to the same color as the ship's hull.
Lu's reminder came from the headphones.
The strong light just now attracted the attention of many ships, and the other side is tracking down the source and landing point of the strong light.
Fortunately, these ships are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and many warships only have their main guns working, so Yang Ming and Dongfeng have not been exposed for the time being.
Lu smiled and said, "Boss, you can go in now."
“So soon?”
"The cost of the battleship's daily maintenance should have been taken as kickbacks by the prince's men. There are too many loopholes in the operating system."
Lu sighed softly:
"I have adjusted all surveillance footage to loop playback and started sending mobilization orders to the crew. Each cabin has begun to be divided and encrypted. You only need to enter from the current cabin door, and then directly follow the ground signs to the middle cabin, and you will find Prince Kinov."
As soon as she finished speaking, the hatch in front of Yang Ming made a hissing sound, the safety gates on both sides were released, and a small amount of gas quickly escaped into space.
Yang Ming slipped into the cabin door, which closed quickly.
The security gate on the left lit up, and the corridor ahead was quiet and empty.
Yang Ming shook his head and strolled forward with his hands behind his back.
It is convenient to have the law around, and I can save the energy of several mental shocks.
at the same time.
In the luxuriously decorated middle cabin, Prince Kinov had a sullen face and stared at the young count in front of him.
"Revil, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Revell smiled awkwardly, "My meaning should be obvious. I want to join you and humiliate the White Ghost together."
"oh?"
Prince Kinov smiled and asked back: "But the information I got is that you are friends with the White Ghost."
Revill smiled and said, "I am a noble, you know. Although I used to admire the White Ghost, I just want to draw a line between us as soon as possible. I brought my fleet and I want to join the party you are hosting."
"Young man, your treachery is written all over your face."
Prince Kinov's eyes became sharper, and he said calmly:
"I can always tell who has bad intentions towards me. I see your ill intentions in your smile. Go back and don't show up in front of me, or I will make you feel what regret is.
"Don't I know what you are planning?
"You want to clear a path for the White Ghost, right? Use your fleet to clear a path through our fleet of poor people who have been harmed by the White Ghost.
"Do you think that we will let the White Ghost go easily now that we are gathered here today?!"
"Your Excellency... uh..."
Revil paused.
He widened his eyes and looked at the red halo that passed behind Prince Kinov's head, that familiar red halo!
The strong and robust modified humans, the maids gathered in the corner, and the middle-aged man, all fell asleep with their eyes rolled back.
“Look at this!”
Prince Kinov narrowed his eyes slightly:
"You can't refute it now, right? You are really too young, and your cunningness is written all over your face. I can easily detect your intentions.
“The White Ghost slandered my brother. He destroyed the balance of the empire, forced the former great elder to death, and made the nobles of the empire panic. The foundation of this country is almost shaken by him.
“Revil, you are a young man with a bright future, don’t let him hold you back.
"What is the foundation of the empire? It is the aristocracy ruling the common people. We are the rulers! We are born enemies of the White Ghost!
"He's just a despicable, shameless, lucky civilian who got some superhuman powers due to transformation experiments, so he is in his current situation. Without those powers, what is he? He is a piece of shit! I can easily crush him!"
"Well, Your Excellency," Revil raised his hand and pointed behind Prince Kinov, "I think it would be better for you to be polite. After all, angering him is not a good thing for you."
"Manners? Are you lecturing me? You rude little brat!"
Prince Kinov glared and cursed, subconsciously glanced back, and continued to turn around to vent his emotions on Revel.
"You really are... huh?"
The prince turned his head sharply and glared at the figure standing behind him.
A black tactical helmet and a grayish-white battle-damaged exoskeleton armor.
"White!"
"Fuck you!"
Bang!
Yang Ming punched the sofa next to Prince Kinov and blew it up, then he took out a handkerchief and pressed it on the prince's mouth and nose.
Under the stunned gaze of Reville and his old butler, Prince Kinofu struggled a few times with his limbs flailing, then tilted his head and passed out.
Yang Ming clapped his hands, stood up and made a victory gesture to Revil.
"Very good, we cooperated well," Yang Ming said, "Now you are my accomplice, bring someone you trust here to help me control the situation."
Revill was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously, turned around and began to issue orders for an emergency jump .
