Him and their stars.

Chapter 1725: Rob the Gumeiyans
The one who appeared on the Victory bridge screen was a subhuman with very obvious female features, but was taller than the average adult human male and had a slightly slender build.

Of course, perhaps because of her temperament, although she is tall, she does not give people a fragile feeling. Her whole body is filled with a sense of power like a female leopard.

She had lavender skin and long dark green hair, silver eyes with the characteristics of a large cat, and the contours of her facial features and face were a little sharp, but she was indeed an alien beauty that was very much in line with human aesthetics.

This is a Gumiyan.

On the Victory, the officers and soldiers, who were already nervous, became even more nervous.

The Gumerians are a very rare ethnic minority, and most people don't know their origins. However, the woman behind the screen is definitely not an ordinary person.

When traveling in the universe, the people you should avoid offending the most are women, children, and the elderly who dare to travel alone. This kind of common sense that has been passed down in the underworld for thousands of years has certainly been heard by everyone.

Moreover, this encounter was indeed terrifying. In this remote waterway where few people travel and it was also a war zone, an ordinary cruise ship appeared. More importantly, this cruise ship was discovered when it was less than 100 million kilometers away from everyone. In a space war, this can almost be regarded as a face-to-face encounter. If the opponent is carrying weapons, it can inflict heavy damage to oneself in the first place.

That feeling was so terrifying. It was like seeing a little girl in a flowery dress carrying a basket on a battlefield full of corpses and blood, walking safely through the hail of bullets, walking with an easy pace as if she was going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and passing by the soldiers covered in dust and blood without paying attention to anyone.

"Be ready to fire at any time!" said a captain.

"And everyone must also be prepared to guard against boarding! This guy seems to be a psychic, and his level is not low." The fleet security director said. He might be the most nervous person present. After all, he himself is not a psychic, but if something goes wrong later, he will have to work hard to handle it.

Horatio Wayne was in a relatively stable mood. He could sense intuitively that this Gumerian had no ill intentions. However, as a qualified officer, he was more interested in the ship.

A cruise ship that can avoid the Victory's detectors and approach to within the dangerous distance of 100 million kilometers is definitely not an ordinary cruise ship. Even if we cannot strike hard immediately, we must remain vigilant.

Michelle Kent also thought of something. He stared at the other person and said thoughtfully, "I think I know this lady."

"Oh, did it fall from the sky?" Wayne said with a smile.

Michelle Kent didn't bother to pay attention and said directly: "It's the one from the God of War Festival, Yu Lian's teammate."

It took Wayne a few more seconds before he realized what was happening.

"That's amazing! You can even recognize the Gumiyans? From what I see, they look exactly the same."

They can be considered a sub-human race! Kent sighed. If there is technical support, he can even give birth to new people.

"Why is she here? I heard that all the Gumeyan people are now slaves of the emperor. Since she won the War God Festival, she must be very sharp and must be very important, right? Could she be an inquisitor of the empire? Or the person in charge of the development of the Lanza galaxy?" Wayne then showed a vigilant expression and nodded to the first mate.

If Kent hadn't stopped her, the Victory would have really opened fire.

"Didn't you watch the War God Festival?"

"I was serving as the third mate on the battlecruiser HMS Bifang at that time, busy fighting pirates. How could I have the time for these things?" Horatio Wayne said unhappily.

"You don't know about the Human Union's affairs?"

"Why should I know? I know that the People's Alliance has expanded rapidly, and I also know that it is basically the party property of our Pioneer Party, but what does this have to do with me? I'm just a soldier." Wayne shrugged.

Kent looked at his friend meaningfully, gave a silent smile, and then quickly explained the identity of the Gumeya lady opposite him.

"What about the people from North Wind Company? That is, the employees of Human Union? Or our own people?" Wayne asked puzzledly.

"Let's communicate and observe first." Kent said. He has always been very cautious.

However, being pointed at by hundreds of cannons would be stressful even for a strong psychic. Ms. Agnes tried to make her innocent expression more serious: "I can accept all legal inspections, but are you from the Community Army or an Earth warship captured by the Galactic Empire?"

This was quite sincere, but it sounded a bit harsh to the Earthlings. So, when Wayne was about to lose his temper, Kent had already taken over the communication and quickly announced his identity.

"So, I guess we can be considered one of our own." Agnes also forced a smile.

"…Our own people?"

"I am still the general manager of Beifeng Company, so I should be considered one of your people, right? Anyway, compared to the Empire, I definitely prefer you." She paused, and her smile was malicious: "Of course, if you want to pretend to be an Imperial Army soldier to trick me, it doesn't matter. I have the title of knight, and I am a dignified Imperial noble!"

At this point, she actually took out a medal representing the rank of knight. However, when she put on the medal, her expression was still somewhat disgusted.

As a member of the God of War's chosen champion team, it was reasonable for him to have a most basic and non-hereditary noble title. However, the core members of the God of War's chosen champion team who got the title turned around and became traitors to the empire, which was of course more in line with the general trend.

Thinking of this, Wayne immediately ordered: "Close the gun ports and move the ship closer."

"This..." The security director and the first mate were a little hesitant.

Kent also advised: "I also recognized this ship. If she had malicious intentions, she could have just brought the ship closer. If a psychic breaks into the Victory, we can't resist for long."

"Actually, there are three psychics." Miss Agnes behind the screen pointed up with three fingers.

This time, even someone as calm as Kent showed a look of surprise: "The psychic content of this ship is probably even higher than that of the Imperial Army's Titan."

"On a per capita basis, it must be higher than the emperor's flagship." Agnes sneered.

Well, since she was so disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, Wayne was completely convinced that this lady was indeed one of them.

Ten minutes later, the ordinary cruise ship with a spindle-shaped appearance finally docked with the Victory. Miss Agnes, dressed like an ordinary adventurer, entered the Victory without any weapons. Even so, the soldiers wearing power armor on the ship still made everyone feel as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Agnes walked straight past the soldiers armed with guns and armored vehicles, only snorting through her nose to express her disdain.

However, the people who followed her down the gangway were seventeen Gumeyans, thirty-five humans, and nine Terrabians. Although each of them had the temperament of a tough pioneer, there were both men and women, young and old, and they looked more like a group of armed immigrants with strong martial virtues.

Since the races are so diverse and most are human, they can't be enemies, right?

The security personnel on the Victory performed a routine identity check. Apart from the Gumeyans and Terrabi, all the humans present were actually citizens of the community. Only then did they feel completely relieved.

Agnes added, "There are no dangerous items on our ship. You can check it at will. However, try not to touch any strange devices. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

The Earth soldiers who had just felt relieved suddenly became nervous again, but at this time, the Gumeya woman had already walked towards the bridge with a heartless pace.

On the bridge, Horatio Wayne, as the commander, welcomed the allies of the Northern Wind Development Company with a graceful business smile.

The Gumeiya female warrior was probably not used to being watched by so many people, but she still managed a friendly smile and said frankly: "I know you guys, you are my boss's classmates and comrades. If we round it off, we are colleagues with the same stance. It is a blessing from the spirit of the universe that we can meet here."

Is this our boss in Yulian? She must really mean this, right? Horatio Wayne couldn't help thinking so, and his smile became a little stiff.

So, the first one to speak directly was Michelle Kent, who had always been calm: "You can't be waiting for us here, right?"

"I am indeed on standby here. I originally thought that the ship passing by would be the Anmons's transport ship, the Pool Raven, but what I got instead was a warship from the Community. After thinking it over, I decided to come over to say hello and test the waters."

"Has the Pioneer Company become a pirate?" Wayne almost laughed out loud. As we all know, in this universe, in this era, the so-called Pioneer Company is mostly made up of adventurers, and adventurers and pirates can always switch seamlessly.

...Wait, doesn't this mean that the Human Alliance has started to support pirates? He immediately thought of another possibility, and his smile froze on his face.

The Gumeiyan woman seemed to have expected this and said directly, "We are not pirates, and our company is a normal and legal development company. However, the bases we established on the planet were illegally incorporated by the Empire, so of course we have to find a way to recover some of the interest. If the Empire is not satisfied, it can file a lawsuit with the Galactic Civilization Council."

Kent hesitated for a moment and said, "We came here to intercept a Lavo transport ship belonging to the Grand Duchy of Letalin..."

"I killed them three days ago." Agnes showed a smug look: "The ship is still intact, and there are a lot of goods on it. I don't have enough manpower here, so I can't take it away. If you are interested..."

Horatio Wayne took a step forward, stretched out his hands and held the hands of the Gumeya female ranger, showing his obvious emotion: "Thank you so much!"

To be honest, this red-haired guy is indeed an upright type. When he expresses his gratitude, it is naturally sincere and without any compromise.

Agnes looked at the other person in surprise, but her spiritual sense could not sense that the other person was pretending in the slightest, so her smile became more natural.

"...I can't guarantee that the cargo on it will be useful to you, but at least you can dismantle the ship and use it as consumables."

"So, what kind of cargo is on it?"

"...high-quality compressed energy blocks, integrated capacitor plates, and high-carbon railgun warheads, as well as some high-explosive phlogiston canisters and some mithril ingots and stuff. Oh, I took all the mithril ingots."

"Ms. Agnes, you are simply the goddess of victory bestowed by the spirit of the universe on the Blue Star Community!" Horatio Wayne's thanks were even more corny, but still very sincere.

Kent was also very excited, and ordered the fleet to sail towards the point marked by Agnes. As for the temporarily unmanned "cruise ship", it could be towed by the Victory for the time being.

Of course, he was also very keenly aware of the subtext: "Is the Empire building an arsenal in Lanza?"

"Yes. In addition to the two habitable planets, there are also high-quality rich ores in the asteroid belt, and the stellar light is very stable. There are also mithril and orichalcum mines on Lanza. It is suitable for building an arsenal. Fortunately, the current scale is not large. The empire will probably expand the construction scale in the future, right? Tsk, those mithril mines were discovered by us."

"Is this for the purpose of supplying the God of Fire, Aran? To expand the scale of construction... um, eh?" Horatio Wayne seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

At this time, the quartermaster had already arranged for the people of the North Wind Company to have dinner in the restaurant. After receiving the notification, Michel Kent ordered to arrange spacious guest rooms for them on the Victory.

He could see now that more than sixty people were crowded on the cruise ship, and the living environment was very cramped. However, it was too unrealistic to say that these people could run a pioneer camp.

Kent did not hide his doubts and directly raised his questions.

"Camp? Of course it was incorporated into the Empire. Now, Mr. Wu has surrendered. Don't blame him, General. Although he is a famous adventurer and planet pioneer, he is just an ordinary man who wants to live." The Gumeyan sighed.

Kent had already found the information about the North Wind Company from his terminal. Of course, he knew that Mr. Wu was referring to the company's co-founder, Mr. Urnovich, a famous adventurer born on Earth. He and his wife were indeed well-known figures in the planetary exploration industry.

"Mrs. Wu is pregnant, and Mr. Wu has moved his family to the Lanza galaxy. They are just adventurers and cannot fight against the imperial army. If they accept the rule of the empire, they may be able to gain the title of pioneer aristocracy and obtain a knighthood." Agnes added.

To be honest, this is actually the smartest choice for ordinary people.

"As for Mr. Silverbeard, he returned home before the war began. He said that something big was going to happen in his hometown of Terrabi and he had to go there to take charge."

Wayne and Kent looked at each other.

Of course they knew what the so-called big event was. It was nothing more than that the top leaders of the Kaitai Kingdom were almost wiped out, the fleet was completely destroyed, the capital was hit by several large bombs and almost all the territory was burned, so the Terrabi people took the opportunity to establish an independent country.

Because these cat-eared people were pragmatic, respectful, humble and loyal, they actually won the recognition of the empire's leaders. The great cause of independence was halfway to success.

Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Yinxu, as the top master of the Terrabi people, to return to his country to participate in such a major event.

As a result, the three founders of Beifeng Pioneer Company all left their stage, leaving only Agnes, who was the last to get on the bus.
