SS 14: Invaders

“Volume, loud enough?” The owner of the voice lowered the volume this time.

Lowry Chester was a Lt. General in the Imperial Rebels. “Rebels” was what the Alliance called them but they call themselves the Imperial Guard and have fought many battles with the Alliance army over the years. There are mixed wins and losses and there are no small forces on some planets.

Their army drew all partners whom they could cooperate with. During this time, Lt. General Lowry, to facilitate the cooperation between the Imperial Army and the interstellar pirates, has been on the planet where the interstellar pirates are stationed to help them train their troops and bring technical support to strengthen and upgrade their team.

The Imperial Army didn’t ask the pirates to submit to them but only hoped that the pirates would assist in some battles as raiders that would disrupt the Alliance Army.

When Dolphin 66 sent a message, Lt. General Lowry was helping the interstellar pirates to upgrade their communication equipment. Hearing the message from the correspondent, Lowry was curious about the person who sent the message. After seeing the consent of the pirate chief, Lt. General Lowry had a dialogue with the two.

It’s not that Lt. General Lowry is taking the lead, it’s just that Dolphin 66 is too immature. Even though they used text to communicate, it still revealed their innocence.

The pirates didn’t take a group of primitive star atavists in their eyes and let Lt. General Lowry play freely, letting him deal with Dolphin 66 to inquire some information and only a small pirate leader was left to watch.

When Lt. General Lowry asked for a ton of gold, the little pirate leader realized something was wrong and he quickly connected it to his own boss so everyone listened to the conversation together.

After the call, when Lt. General Lowry was about to prepare his troops, Lind, the leader of the pirates, came over and told Lt. General Lowry: “I think since it’s us whom those atavists contacted, I don’t need to trouble you, Lt. General Lowry. I’ll send someone to go.”

Lind was burly, three meters tall, has thick hair, brown hair on the backs of his hands and face, and unknown how much in his body.

Lt. General Lowry was sitting in a chair, his legs casually resting on the table, looking rather languid. Hearing Lind’s words, he smiled: “The little atavists can take out a ton of gold without hesitation and they’re very guarded against us so there must be gold mines on that planet…no, not necessarily ore, maybe pure gold. The gold mine on this planet escaped the exploration of the Alliance and was discovered by me. Do you think I’ll let this planet go?”

“Lt. General Lowry,” Lind used a special swivel chair that was three times larger than ordinary chairs. Even when sitting down, he was two meters high. He turned his chair closer to Lt. General Lowry and earnestly said, “For us, the hard currency of gold is also very useful, many items can be exchanged from the Alliance through some special channels.”

“Speaking of which, the scientific researchers of our Imperial Army developed a formula of the gene enhancer and there are currently 1738 experimental subjects. Only one person had a degeneration of the gene level because his body was too weak to withstand the medicinal power of the gene enhancer but all the others were successfully promoted one level, and no one died.” Lt. General Lowry suddenly mentioned an irrelevant matter.

“Gene enhancer…” Lind’s huge hand turned into a fluffy fist. This kind of thing is difficult to buy even on the black market.

“I remember that the interstellar pirates have robbed the Alliance’s treasury for so many years so your gold coin reserves should be sufficient, right?” asked Lt. General Lowry.

Speaking of the vault, Lind’s face immediately contorted. He gritted his teeth and said: “It’s a shame but there’s nothing to hide. Our vaults have been stolen since 379 years ago, emptying every forty or fifty years. As soon as we fill the vault, there’ll be an unknown creature stealing it and it will find it wherever we hide it. Every time the vault is empty, we will change leaders. 49 years ago, I took advantage of the turmoil when the vault was stolen and successfully ousted the previous leader.”

Lt. General Lowry: “You…looking at your strength these days, you won’t be robbed, right? Is it embezzlement?

“I hope it was done by my own people so I can deal with it but every time it was stolen, a huge paw print would be left on the door of the vault where it was kicked down. Who has such strong power? Even those with gene level S can’t do that!” Lind said, “I need gold mines and I want those atavists. They also contacted me so you can’t steal our business.”

“What organization has been able to rob the treasure house of interstellar pirates for 379 consecutive years?” Lt. General Lowry was curious, “There’s still a paw print, could it be a Kirates Dragon?”

After he finished speaking, several captains of the Imperial Army laughed in unison. Everyone knew that Kirates Dragons are extinct and Lt. General Lowry was making fun of Lind by using this legendary creature as an excuse to sell misery.

The Imperial Army wanted the gold mines and the interstellar pirates also can’t let it go, so the two sides were at odds. Still, in the territory of the interstellar pirates, strong dragons won’t overwhelm local snakes, so Lt. General Lowry exchanged the purchase right of the gene enhancer for half his troops, and together, they can carve up the gold mines on the planet.

Lind also wanted to win over the atavists so he brought the supplies they needed and planned to use these items to win over those innocent children.

An atavist who was exiled at the age of 18 is not just a child in the eyes of the rebels and interstellar pirates.

According to the amount of materials needed by the atavists, it’s speculated that there are only three or four hundred atavists on that planet and they have no weapons so in fact, a warship is enough.

However, Lt. General Lowry and Lind were on guard against each other so each brought 100 men, 5 small warships, combined into a team of 200 people and 10 warships.

The warships were faster than ordinary civilian spaceships and it took them only four days to reach Primitive Star 419.

Lt. General Lowry and Lind were in the same command ship, guarding against each other. When entering the atmosphere, Lt. General Lowry looked at the green on the display and sighed: “What a beautiful color, I haven’t seen such a pure green in a long time.”

“The Alliance’s prison stars have a lot of these colors,” Lind said, “If you miss it, walk to the square of the Capital Star with your arms raised and they’ll make sure you live on a prison star until the planet perishes.”

“You really don’t understand romance.” Lt. General Lowry glanced at Lind and shook his head when he saw that he was eating a yellow, curved fruit called “banana”.

Are all orangutans simple-minded and fond of bananas? Lt. General Lowry leisurely thought.

He turned on the intelligent search system to find the atavists on this planet.

The artificial intelligence of the search system has a nice female voice that said: “Lt. General, according to your order, at coordinate 67E, 183N, there are more than 300 humanoid creatures that could walk upright, but no gold mines were found.”

“No gold mines?” Lt. General Lowry wondered, “That’s right, the Alliance letting go of the gold mines on this planet might be because it’s hard to find, or that the magnetic field blocked their exploration.”

“Lt. General, near the gathering place of humanoids, there’s an area with a radius of 400 kilometers that cannot be explored with a total area of 450,00 square kilometers.” The artificial intelligence said.

“Is this the location of the gold mine?” Lind said in a rough voice, “You have a nice voice, let’s download a copy for our fleet as well.”

“It’s the voice of the league’s hottest female voice actor,” Lt. General Lowry shut down the search system, “If you like it, you can download it yourself on the official website of the Alliance.”

“Stingy.”

The two belong to a cooperative relationship but they’re also on guard against each other so their relationship isn’t good.

Lt. General Lowry controlled the warship to land in the desert area near the atavists’ gathering place. After disembarking from the battleship, each of them set off in a small transformable battle armor.

They were extremely fast, far exceeding the speed of sound, and took less than ten minutes to arrive at the atavists’ gathering place.

Lowry lowered his armor and came out fully armed, followed by a team of 100 men. Lind next to him also led 100 pirates. The pirate team was relatively loose and there was no momentum compared to Lt. General Lowry’s troops.

They looked at a group of atavists who had no clothes and gathered together like savages, Lind couldn’t help laughing: “To deal with so many people, it’s really overkill to dispatch so many troops.”

“It’s always right to be cautious.” Lt. General Lowry didn’t feel that he was wasting supplies.

Lind pressed the loudspeaker on his collar and shouted loudly: “You atavists choosing us to trade are so smart, hahahahaha! In the future, your planet, gold mine, and you yourself, I will take over. Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle with you.”

Standing in front was an atavist with a white tail. He shouted two words but they couldn’t hear them clearly because they were too far away.

“Turn on the sound-receiving gear, use amplification, and the person in the back put on the headphones.” Lt. General Lowry said, “You atavists, your communication actually relies on shouting, such a backward technology, but still dare to seek skin from a tiger. Don’t know if you want to live or die.”

After the subordinate turned on the amplifier, 200 people heard a cold voice saying: “Can, hear?”

He spoke intermittently as if he wasn’t very proficient in interstellar common language.

Lind frowned: “Are these atavists so bad? Can’t they speak clearly? Is the Alliance Welfare Institute unwilling to provide even the most basic education now?”

“Can, hear?” The owner of the voice asked again.

“Of course I can, what do you want to say?” Lt. General Lowry said with a smile, “Hearing your beautiful voice, I’m willing to endure your stuttering, but only three minutes. I’ll give you that time to surrender.”

“Volume, loud enough?” The owner of the voice lowered the volume this time.

Lowry’s men turned the volume to maximum.

“Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground is clear now. I will record your words of surrender.” Lt. General Lowry said.

“Okay, start.” The nice voice became cold and hard.

Feng Lianzhu, who was hiding in a tree using the skill “Attach Bamboo”, said to the system in his mind: “Audit the message, use maximum volume.”

The system executed Feng Lianzhu’s command, opened the message box, and clicked on the first message left by Pang Kirates for Feng Lianzhu. The first sentence of that message was——

“Roar——”

The roar of a Kirates dragon, which was turned up to the highest volume by the system and amplified to the highest by Lowry, passed through everyone’s earphones and reached their ears.
