Chapter 52

After the secret meeting, soshyan left the frigate glory saber, went to the arrived spark, and began to arrange to transfer the personnel of the orbital station to the spark.

Loken and Farzad team stayed on the saber of glory. Loken will participate in an important meeting later, and the star soldiers will ensure the smooth progress of the meeting.

As usual, a small group of machine servants curled up in the shadow of the corner of the communication room, operating runes on the curved wall.

To Loken's delight, the mutant navigator had returned to his residence to rest; The presence of these guys always makes him nervous.

Then he entered the main conference room on the side of the bridge.

It was extremely quiet, and only Loken's polite voice echoed in the conference room.

After a while, everyone arrived, and one of the communication officers opened his mouth without a prelude.

"We received an order from the training Fleet Command."

He announced:

"The frequency of piracy incidents has increased recently. We have to join patrol escort formation 32 immediately."

Loken's heart sank, even though he had expected it.

The communications officer looked at captain Hodges. He was not sure whether the other party was signaling him to continue to explain the situation.

Finally, he made up his mind and said it.

"It is believed that the governor of the Star district has encountered some problems, such as riots caused by material shortage due to route obstruction."

"If so?"

Loken asked in surprise:

"It was always peaceful before."

"Who knows."

The communications officer shrugged.

"I thought so at first. The governor may just be a little flustered. This may be the first time he has seen large-scale unrest."

"The traitors here are probably not rumors. The star area is under threat."

The vice captain immediately interrupted him.

"We have to join the fleet at once."

"I think it's nothing more than rumors."

Loken stressed again that his words had aroused the dissatisfaction of some officers, but they didn't say anything, and the technical priest on board remained silent. “”

"What are our orders?"

Finally, the vice captain looked at Hodges, and so did the others.

"We'll get out of here."

Hodges, with his hands crossed and chin propped, responded indifferently, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. After what happened, they didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Sir, what's the time?"

"Soon -"

Hodges's eyes were as deep as the endless void outside the side window. The vice captain suddenly found that the decadent breath of his officer had disappeared.

Instead, it is as cold and firm as an iceberg.

"Soon we will set out with the commander of sohyan war."

"What?"

Everyone was startled, and the vice captain jumped up from his chair. The only thing that didn't move was the technical priest of the glory saber. He always sat in the chair like a statue, and it was difficult to even breathe.

"Is my words so difficult to understand?"

"Sir, the command's order is -"

"I got it."

Hodges put down his hands, looked at the vice captain and calmly replied:

"Do you have any other questions?"

"But, but..."

The vice captain stepped back. He knew exactly what Hodges was going to do. Then he turned his eyes to the other officers. Although they were very uneasy, they didn't say more.

Hodges's prestige is still very high, and most of the people here are promoted by him, except the vice captain.

He graduated from the military academy and followed Hodges for only two years. In fact, as an aristocrat, he has a much greater future than Hodges. In another two years, he can command a frigate independently.

"No! Sir! It's a rebellion! You can't do that!"

The vice captain obviously didn't want to join the uncertain expedition of star soldiers, Hodges sighed.

Just as his shoulders sank and he just made a sigh, a mechanical appendage was suddenly raised in the robe of the technical priest around him, and the needle gun made a "Bo" sound.

Then there was the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Seeing the vice captain fall to the ground, the other legions immediately felt a little flustered, and Hodges immediately raised his hand and pressed it.

"Don't panic, I didn't kill him, just let him sleep for a while."

Then the fallen vice captain snored gently, and the nervous look on the faces of other officers relieved a lot.

Hodges stood up, glanced at the crowd and said:

"Everyone knows me, and I also know you. Any decision I make is after careful consideration. Even if I'm sorry for you, I will never do it."

Everyone nodded.

"We are all mortals, and we can only be mortals, but if we only want to live an ordinary life, why do we have to board a floating warship? Is it not good to spend our life safely on the ground? Some people may be forced, but I believe none of you who can sit here is forced! You are all like me, flowing blood unwilling to be ordinary and have a sense of responsibility A heart that has made great achievements, eager to make the name of the emperor shine in the void, eager to annihilate the great enemy in the name of the emperor! "

With that, he threw his hat heavily on the table.

"Then do it! Don't hesitate! Even if we break to pieces at the next moment, at least we will stand proudly by the emperor instead of struggling to die in the hospital bed!"

"For the emperor!!"

Everyone shouted together.

Loken breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to jamini Ford, the technical priest of the glory saber.

But the other side is just indifferent to him.

After the meeting, Hodges ordered the warship to be closed and only the workers in the warehouse were allowed in and out when carrying materials. The other sailors had no idea what had just happened.

They just know that there is a team of starfighters on board, but they don't know what it means.

At this time, Loken left the glory saber with jamini Ford, went to the spark to meet soshyan, report the progress of the matter and introduce a new member.

"Commander Zhan."

On the bridge, Loken and Ford met soshyan, who was looking at a data board.

"It's over?"

Hearing the sound, soshyan put down the data board and saw Loken coming towards him with the technical priest of the glorious saber.

"Yes, it's all done. Hodges has completely controlled the glory saber."

"This is."

Before Loken introduced him, the technical priest himself said:

"Jamini Ford."

"He is my hometown. We joined the church together, but I studied mechanics and he studied biology."

A biotechnology priest, soshyandun was curious, because he was the mechanical priest of the glory saber before. How did he suddenly become a biological sage.

Seeing soshyan's puzzled eyes, Loken quickly explained:

"Like me, he was ostracized by mediocres and thrown into a frigate to do chores."

"It's you."

Jamini Ford replied lukewarm.

"It's just that our pharmacist needs a good helper in keeping genetic seeds and medical treatment."

With that, soshyan held out his big hand to Ford.

"Welcome to join us, Reverend Ford."

Jamini Ford hesitated for two seconds, then held soshyan's index finger with one of his hands, which was a handshake.

"It's a great honor to serve you and the regiment, commander soshyang."
