Split Sky Rider

Chapter 1195 - Garrison

"The meat of the Frost Abyss Beast is truly worthy of its reputation!"

While the Feathered People were cooking on the spot, Heseman Brown, with his mouth full of oil, searched for information about the Frost Abyss Beast in advance.

This ice and snow monster, which is only active in the depths of the Antarctic continent and is very rare in marginal areas such as the coastline, is actually listed in the top 100 top meat ingredients. Only first-class feathered hunters who have lived in Antarctica for generations can hunt this ferocious creature. There are no cases of hunting by outsiders, and most of them fail, while a small part are killed in return. After all, Antarctica, with its ice and snow and severe climate, is the home ground of the Cold Abyss Beast, and the temperature and ice and snow almost determine half of the probability of winning or losing.

Large and small round fat particles are distributed between the muscle fibers, which not only makes the meat more tender but also makes the taste richer. Moreover, these fats with special elasticity are rich in nutrients and are beneficial to the human body. Not only will they not cause weight gain, but they will also regulate blood lipids, blood sugar and cholesterol.

Poor mountains and bad waters are more likely to produce good things.

"Please save me a ton of processed meat. I will pay you with Star Dollars."

Chen Fei raised his glass to Lord Knight, who was hosting a banquet to entertain the princess and his party. The wine was also very good, all of which were local specialties of Antarctica.

The meat of the Hanyuan beast needs to be soaked in the juice extracted from the local moss, otherwise it will be extremely fishy and smelly, and it will be old and hard. The meat of almost most carnivores is inferior to that of herbivores.

"Just take as much as you want. You can take it all. It's free."

Even if Lord Knight doesn't give face to Chen Fei, he has to give face to the princess.

An adult Hanyuan beast weighs about 200-300 tons. After removing the fur, bones and internal organs, one-third of the pure meat can be obtained. Giving a few tens of it to Chen Fei, there is still a lot left.

The ingredients of the Hanyuan Beast are very expensive in other places, but here, as long as those young people have enough patience and luck, they can hunt more Hanyuan Beasts.

"Thank you very much, as a token of my gratitude!"

Chen Fei waved his hand behind him, and a large group of fully armed combat robots appeared.

One thousand combat robots lined up neatly and raised their heads slowly at the same time.

The joyous banquet fell silent in the blink of an eye.

“Ah, this is…”

City Lord Knight was stunned.

"Temporarily raising the alert level and expanding the patrol range will definitely cause a shortage of manpower. Even if these 1,000 combat robots are loaned to you, as long as they are guaranteed energy and maintenance, they can continue to work without sleep. Moreover, the function module for identifying parasites is standard."

From learning about the composition of the garrison personnel in the secret permanent base "White City", Chen Fei knew that although the population here was nearly 10,000, excluding the elderly, children and non-combat personnel, the number of qualified soldiers was not large, at most around 1,000, no more.

One soldier for every ten civilians is already a fairly high ratio.

"Do you consider this a garrison?"

Princess Lin Ziyu looked at Chen Fei with a smile.

"Hey! It's inappropriate for you to openly send troops to another sovereignty like this!"

The S-level space-powered mutant Heseman Brown reacted immediately. This was a military base directly under the Slan royal family. Chen Fei's behavior was no different from an invasion.

Chen Fei put down his wine glass, raised his hands, and said, "No, it's just a friendly loan of troops. The command belongs to Lord Knight. All I need is the intelligence sharing against 'Sagali'. Of course, I need the authorization of Her Royal Highness the Princess. As for the actions of 'Sagali' civilization against Cangqiong Star and Blue Star, it's best for both sides to maintain intelligence linkage to avoid being defeated one by one."

"Well, let me think about it!"

The relationship between the Lin and Chen families was not enough for Lin Ziyu to allow Chen Fei to send his military forces to the Cangkong Star without any scruples.

Chen Fei's previous action of forming an army alone in Zhai Liuzhou was to deal with the latent forces of the rebels and parasitic species. Although it was not reported in advance, it was understandable. The Slan royal family did not intend to pursue it and signed a memorandum of understanding with the sovereigns of Blue Star. These behind-the-scenes operations were not known to Chen Fei, and he was not well-informed enough.

"Sorry, I need to ask my mother first!"

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ziyu finally decided to ask for advice from Her Majesty the Queen. He apologized, then stood up and left.

The maid and shadow guard followed closely behind.

"Don't worry. Cangqiongxing has enough experience in dealing with 'Sagali'. Our young people here are all excellent fighters."

After Her Royal Highness the Princess left temporarily, Lord Knight once again raised his glass to Chen Fei.

If there wasn't enough trust, Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn't have brought the other party here and sent out so many combat robots. The starting point was obviously to help this secret base. Even if permission was not given in the end, Lord Knight would appreciate it.

A moment later, Princess Lin Ziyu returned.

Facing Chen Fei's inquiring gaze, she said seriously: "His Majesty has given me the authority to liaise with you on all matters concerning the 'Sagari' campaign."

Public is public and private is private. In official matters, the empress is the empress, but in private she is still Lin Ziyu Silan's mother. Even though it is a family empire, if public and private are not distinguished, something bad can easily happen.

"So..." Chen Fei guessed the attitude of the Slan Dynasty.

In a sense, there is not much difference between garrisoning and activating the "Star Gate". After the "Star Gate" is opened, Chen Fei's combat robots can still come over, it's just a matter of earlier or later.

What's more, the robots controlled by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" are more reliable and less likely to rebel than the Feathered People who live in "White City". They only listen to Chen Fei. The computer masters of Blue Star can destroy "Adam" but cannot control "Adam", and the biggest feature of this AI is that it cannot be controlled.

It now seems that the lock was simply locked without anyone who could open it.

Heseman Brown breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Fei's "recklessness" was perfectly resolved. Fortunately, the other party was a member of the Chen family. If it were someone else, well, there would be no chance of this happening at all. Princess Lin Ziyu would never bring the other party here.

“Thanks for your support!”

Chen Fei's guess was correct. City Lord Knight also considered the problem of insufficient military force.

Once a war breaks out with the host of "Sagari", casualties are inevitable. Although the tribalization of the garrison in "White City" ensures cohesion and loyalty, there are problems with trust and tacit understanding in terms of manpower replenishment. If one of the good guys in the city is lost, one less, and even if there are newcomers, it will be difficult to re-establish trust and tacit understanding in a short period of time.

These combat robots do not have these shortcomings. To be precise, they should be a better choice. Their trustworthiness is unquestionable. Even if they cannot establish a tacit understanding with the Feathered People here, they are a whole in themselves. The lack of individual tacit understanding can be compensated by the collective tacit understanding.

With the arrival of one thousand combat robots, the "White City" suddenly had more manpower available, which was like a timely help.

"You're welcome. If the number is insufficient, feel free to contact me. I don't have much else here, but I have a lot of combat robots. I can provide you with reinforcements at any time."

To Chen Fei, combat robots are consumables, cannon fodder in the war of attrition with the "Sagari" civilization. After a war, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of combat robots are often lost. Behind this also represents the hard power contest between the industrial technology route of the Blue Star civilization and the biotechnology route of the "Sagari" civilization. Whoever has the advantage in mass production of troops will have the upper hand.

Lord Knight smiled and said, "These 1,000 soldiers are enough!"

No matter how many there are, he might not be able to command them.

"OK!" Chen Fei raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A thousand combat robots moved in neat rows and stood behind Lord Knight, and the command was transferred immediately.

The slightly depressing atmosphere at the banquet became lively again due to the sudden appearance of the combat robot army. The Feathered People, who were good at singing and dancing, began to sing and dance again, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

After the banquet ended, which was a great success for both the host and the guests, Chen Fei also received the ingredients of the Hanyuan beast that he was going to take back as local specialties. Lord Knight generously gave him two tons, as well as some side dishes that were specialties of Antarctica.

The princess and her entourage decided not to stay in the "White City" base any longer, but to return to the imperial capital, Delan City. The S-class space-powered psychic Heseman Brown had already set up a "time and space seed" in his mansion in the imperial capital, so the return journey would only take a blink of an eye.
