Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

So! Layoffs!

"Do you mean that we need to be collectively executed?" Celestine, who was sitting closest, suppressed the guess in her heart and asked uncertainly.

"Ah? Execution? You think disposing of corpses is free?" Alex looked at the pretty woman next to him whose brain seemed to grow on her chest... Uh, elf? Elves! There really are elves!

He looked at Celestine curiously for a few times, and when Celestine felt uncomfortable all over, he said, "What I mean is that you are free from today. Go wherever you want."

Half of the people had expressions of fear on their faces, while the other half, including Celestine, had expressions of indescribable excitement. Some were even so excited that they burst into tears.

"Do you need a ransom?" Celestine held her pounding chest and confirmed carefully.

Even Alex, who exploits others to work hard every day and then does things his own way, feels a little embarrassed. What do you mean? I fired you and you still have to compensate me?

Is there such a good thing?

It only shows that the Anmie Gang did very bad things.

But he was not so wicked, and the bounty reserves in the vault were enough. Although there were a few members of the Annihilation Gang hiding in this conference room, most of them were forced to work here. He said, "No need. Just help me clean this ship from beginning to end. By the way, take away as much as you can in the central city."

The central city area was where the core members of the Annihilation Gang lived. Of course, Kafka had been considerate enough to help him rob the richest legion leaders. Alex didn't want to plunder the rest, so he just took it as severance pay.

"But." Alex knocked on the table and said, "If there is a dispute during the process, the mechanical guards will directly execute you. In three days, all of you will be on the Yepera Space Station. Within a week, the Interstellar Peace Company's spaceship will pass by here. Those who have money can directly ask the company to fly, and those who don't have money to go home can work on the company's ship to earn the travel expenses."

The company accepts everyone who comes to work.

"Meeting dismissed."

"Well!" Celestine asked hurriedly when she saw Alex was about to leave, "Great hero who saved thousands of people, can you tell us your name? We will praise you forever."

In their hometown, people like Alex are called heroes, worthy of being written into poems and passed down forever.

But Alex didn't answer her question. He just said goodbye and left the meeting room.

“Lady Celestine!” A long-armed alien excitedly walked up to Celestine and said, “We are finally free!”

The Long-Handed Alien has six arms, all very long, and is an expert at typing. They are responsible for operating various equipment on the starship on weekdays, working 997 hours a day and without any salary.

"Ah." Celestine held her flailing arm and nodded excitedly, her chest swaying like water waves. She said happily, "Yes, we can go home now."

"Ah, our planet has been destroyed." A-Ma was paralyzed for a moment, but she quickly cheered up and said, "I can go to work in the company, and so can my people. Although the company also works 996, there is a salary. If you are lucky, you can be promoted to P43 and become a supervisor. What about Lady Celestine?"

While she was happy, Celestine now realized a problem.

Elfstar was gone, she had no home any longer.

Yepera cannot go there, there are still remnants of the Annihilation Gang and the Brotherhood. Go to the company? Celestine looked at the people in the conference room. Long-armed aliens like Ama can control three computers by themselves and are the company's favorite employees. As for those engineers who are proficient in maintenance, some of them are still here and can go home directly, or they can choose to join any company. The fact that they can survive on this ship until now is a proof of their skills.

Even the largest number of death squads were selected for their ability to fight. This group of people were strong and could do anything.

What about himself and the remaining 20,000 Elf people?

The Elfs were spotted by the Extinction Gang because of their excellent aesthetics that conform to human aesthetics and the rich natural resources on their planet. But they have never come into contact with interstellar civilizations, and live a backward life in the eyes of others, without firearms and electrical appliances, and are not tired of the positions required by the company. And among these 20,000 Elfs...

There are only 500 adult males and 3500 adult females, leaving more than 16000 people, all of whom are children who have no knowledge of the universe and science.

All living things were destroyed in the invasion, including the more than 20,000 people who took refuge under the sacred tree, members of the royal family and children who hoped to rebuild their homes.

It was useless, and they all became captives. In order to protect those children, the royal family members became the lackeys of Allen's iron fist, and they could only exchange a piece of bread and a bowl of porridge a day for the children. When they become adults, both men and women will enter the auction house in the central city and become the most popular private slaves.

Celestine didn't know how many of these slaves were still alive, or what had happened to them, and she didn't dare to ask. Conservatively speaking, half of them were no longer alive.

Celestine was at a loss. Although she was happy to be free again,...

Facing an unknown future, she felt extremely panicked. What could she do to protect the more than 16,000 children who were not yet adults?

…………

“There’s a big theater here.”

In the command room of the bridge, the entire central city area was reflected on the big screen. All the living people were looking for money and property here, and at the same time clearing up any traces of the Annihilation Gang's existence.

Alex didn't like the construction and planning of this city. It was a mess and had no aesthetics. He felt that all these buildings and decorations had to be torn down and rebuilt. Kafka pointed to a location and said, "Open some clothing stores outside the Grand Theater. Then it will be easy to go shopping."

"It will be the same as Beloberg." Alex looked down at the city scene on the monitor. In addition to the central city, there is also a huge living concentrated area at the end. But with a little renovation, it will be no problem for 100,000 people to live comfortably.

The space is really large. It can accommodate two million people at full capacity. If they are comfortable, it can accommodate six or seven hundred thousand people. There is enough space for Beloberg to have children.

"I hope that next time I come here," Kafka said, looking at Alex, "this place will be exactly like Beloberg."

"Are you leaving?" Alex looked at Kafka.

It was so comfortable to work with her this time. Whether it was the feeling of doing things or the tacit understanding, it was perfect. It was really a pleasure to do bad things with her. In the past, Alex felt relieved when Kafka left Beloberg, but now, he felt a little reluctant.

"Well, there are still many things to prepare. The Star Destroyer has been delivered, and the Star Core Hunter should leave Beloberg. Ah." Kafka smiled and said, "We respect Ms. Kokolia's wishes. She wants to follow us, and I can't refuse."

Cocolia is now like a migrant worker. Every time the star core hunters change shifts, she comes back with a lot of things, big and small bags. She gives everyone a big red envelope. After a week, she leaves in a hurry.

It was obvious without asking. Elio must have promised Cocolia something. However, this was her choice based on her own will, and Alex did not interfere.

"Okay. I'll call her later."

"Then the next time we meet should be more than a year later." Kafka hooked her fingers, twisted them around Alex's tie, and said, "I will come to enjoy the show you have been preparing for many years."

The tie became shorter and shorter, and finally, Kafka grabbed Alex's neck and pulled him towards her.

Alex looked down at Kafka.

It was a little different from usual, with an alluring scent of wine on his lips. He put his hands on Kafka's waist and pushed her towards his belly.

So close that their breaths were intertwined.

Then, the distance where the lips touch each other.

Kafka leaned back to avoid Alex's pursuit and said, "Since we are going to separate, I will give you some sweetness first. It's the sweetness of wine. Do you like it?"

Alex grabbed Kafka's hips and held her on the table in the command room. Since they had already kissed each other, they had to do it in one go. But Kafka pushed him away and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll do it myself."

As she spoke, Kafka reached behind her back, and Alex thought she was going to unfasten her straps.

She pulled out two guns.

Alex thought as she took off her shirt.

She pulled out six grenades.

Alex thought she... Alex was not a fool, and said speechlessly: "What do you mean? What does this mean? How come you have to go through a minefield before you can kiss me?"

"Today is not the right time." Kafka laughed so hard that her body shook. She sat on the table with her legs crossed and said, "Silver Wolf is still watching. She is still a child."

[Come, be happy, there is plenty of time anyway, come, love, there are plenty of desires anyway, come, wander, there are plenty of directions anyway. Come, act…]

Alex looked up at the radio where music was coming from.

You silver wolf, you ruined my good thing!

"I'll come find you once I've finished some things," Kafka promised.

"Then I'm going to drive a Star Destroyer to find a rich woman. Tsk."

Chapter 41 Space Station [Black Tower]

Kafka flirted and then left, she is not a human being.

Silver Wolf acted a little more humanely. Before leaving, he gave Alex the beginner's guide he had developed, "All Goblins Will Be Able to Fly Star Destroyers After Reading This."

The people on the starship were now moving to the Yepera Space Station as planned. As for what happened to this group of people next, it had nothing to do with Alex. He had already given enough severance pay, and the wealth of the Annihilation Gang members was also enough - although they were all people who spent money without caring about tomorrow, at least they had some spoils of war at home.

Even if they don’t get anything, the company also has businesses such as “Homeward Loan” - as the largest commercial behemoth in the universe, they have all kinds of loan businesses.

Alex initially thought that he would feel lonely now that Kafka was gone, but the reality was that he was even happier!

No boy can resist Star Destroyers and interstellar weapons!

He rose from the hangar in the Silent Space Domination Fighter, and under the "All Green" electronic prompt sound of BLG (belobog), the new Star Destroyer auxiliary system developed by Silver Wolf, he shouted "Alex Rand, let's go!", and excitedly pulled the thrust lever to its full extent and rushed directly into the universe!

Half an hour later, he returned carrying the plane while floating in the universe.

He can only rush out, not drive.

But it feels great too.

Alex happily put the Silencer back in the hangar. This plane certainly doesn't fly as fast as his own, but it's inexplicably fun! After trying out the Silencer, he asked BLG to send the list of shipboard items to his mobile phone, ready to try them one by one from beginning to end. X-wing orbital bombers carrying gravity bombs, Thor's Hammer heavy attack mecha equipped with 250mm caliber cannons...

"Beloberg's previous creation engine was actually quite powerful. The output of ordinary mechas is actually not as good as that old-looking big guy."

If Beloberg has any technology that is not bad in the universe, it is the defensive performance of the mecha. The old antiques from 700 years ago were pieced together to create a corps of automatic mechas. Although they are shabby, they are really durable and can even come up with technology like [Barrier].

Beloberg's engineers can also modify the vehicles here. They are best at piecing together things. Hey, who cares if it's a bug or not, it can still run.

The development directions of various civilizations in the interstellar space are somewhat different. For example, the [Company], with the support of the Knowledge Society, can choose any development direction. Some are taking the biotechnology route, such as the Xianzhou Alliance, where all spacecraft grow from embryos. The civilization that built the [Beloberg] has a sense of miracles in terms of technology.

Everything is about pursuing larger caliber, thicker armor, and more powerful firepower.

"Sir, there are a group of stranded people still on the Belloborg, and we would like to speak to you."

The electronic sound of the auxiliary AI system BLG came from the hangar's broadcast. Alex always felt that Silver Wolf had some evil taste. This electronic female voice seemed to be from Kafka, but fortunately the tone was not similar.

"Who? Didn't I tell everyone to get off the ship?" Alex continued to study the ship's arsenal. He now wanted to find a planet to test the power of the main gun.

"According to the crew database," BLG said, "98% of the stranded people are from Elf Star, and 2% are from other races. The leader is Celestine Luku."

The woman with the elf ears? Elf Star refers to the land of elves, right?

This planet had never been contacted by the universe, and the first aliens encountered were the Annihilation Gang and this Star Destroyer. BLG sent the information about the Elf planet from the ship's database to Alex's phone, and Alex frowned when he saw it.

The invasion war lasted for a year - the Annihilation Gang played around with it for a year, and then after capturing the last batch of prisoners, the royal family of the Old Kingdom and nearly 20,000 children, the entire planet was disintegrated by Alan Iron Fist.

"The lifespan is three times that of a standard human, the growth rate is twice that of a standard human, the learning ability is slightly weaker than that of a standard human, and the physical strength is slightly stronger than that of a standard human."

The vast majority of those who stayed behind were the equivalent of human children aged 6-15, homeless orphans. Moreover, they had been receiving slave education from the Annihilation Gang, and had not learned any skills other than serving and reading people's expressions.

Their race is naturally good-looking, just like elves. When they grow up, they are generally handsome men and beautiful women, and their figures do not change.

"Sir, do you need to expel or eliminate them?"

People who have been parents can't bear to see so many orphans. Alex shook his head helplessly. Seeing so many poor children, he was afraid that he would be affected by his emotions. He said, "Stand by, let them choose five representatives to come here to see me and listen to what they want to say."

When Celestine, her sister Alicia, a boy and a girl, two teenage Elf children, and a human representative came to the C-area hangar, Alex was in the cockpit of the Thor's Hammer battle mech, studying the operating manual that was thicker than a dictionary. When he saw people coming, he jumped out of the cockpit and said, "What's the matter?"

The four El ladies and a human all knelt down in front of Alex. Alex waved his hands with a headache and said, "It's not good for my neck to talk with your head down. Stand up. I don't like this. Just say it directly if you have something to say."

As the leader, Celestine stood up and looked at the young and handsome new captain in front of her, and said with courage: "Sir, I would like to apply for a job on this Beloberg."

"Oh?" Alex looked at the young woman with a pretty figure and girlish face with some surprise. He thought she would ask for asylum, but unexpectedly she was looking for a job.

This is quite interesting. He said, "Go on."

Celestine felt relieved. In the past three days, she had been trying to contact Alex, the ruthless man who single-handedly wiped out the Annihilation Gang, but she failed. The mechanical guards on the ship strictly controlled their range of action and were not allowed to approach the command room and the bridge.

Judging from his attitude towards the captives on the ship, he was not in the [evil] camp. He allowed others to collect their own travel expenses in the central city. Most people collected enough money for the boat tickets. But he was not very enthusiastic. He looked at them as if they were a burden. Celestine was not a stupid woman. She asked in the meeting room before because she couldn't believe that freedom would come so easily. On the contrary, the fact that she had been an assistant to Alan Iron Fist for several years and was still alive showed her intelligence and ability to read people's expressions.

She believes that in order to protect her people, she must show her "value" in front of them. Compared to the Interstellar Peace Company, which only cares about profits, the Star Destroyer, now renamed the Beloberg, is the only place she is familiar with and the key to her value.

"I was once forced to serve the now deceased enemy, Alan Iron Fist, who killed my father and exterminated my clan, for many years." Celestine organized her words and said as if she was facing an interviewer, "I have a deep understanding of the operation of the Beloberg and the status of each area. I have a photographic memory and can convey instructions to any department and any person according to your needs."

Although there are no crew members now, Celestine believes that there will definitely be some in the future. The razed central city area is obviously waiting to be rebuilt.

Well... it's like a full-time secretary.

Alex glanced at the other people calmly. The two Elf children had obvious fear on their faces. The other one, a pretty blonde girl who looked a few years younger than Celestine and had a similar appearance, was looking at him with admiration.

Seeing that Alex didn't interrupt, Celestine continued to introduce everything she could do, gradually shifting from work to other specialties, and said: "We Elf people..."

Celestine's eyes dimmed a bit when she mentioned this, but she still said, "I have received professional waiter training. Whether it's washing clothes, folding quilts, cooking or cleaning, they are all very professional."

This was something they were forced to learn so that they could get a good price at the auction. Mrs. El was originally good at planting and hunting.

Secretary and maid?

"Alan Iron Fist knows how to enjoy himself."

“No.” Celestine was afraid that the other party would feel disgusted and suspicious, so she said quickly: “He only has the desire to destroy, and he does not allow anyone to enter his room or touch his body.”

"Ah."

Alex took out his phone and sent a message to BLG, who soon gave Celestine a score based on her past performance on the Star Destroyer, which was considered an excellent result.

"Sure." He had never tried the Elf Secretary before, so he would definitely let her wear our Beloberg's most famous stockings! Alex said, "You have a three-month probation period. If you perform well, you can stay. But..."

Alex looked at the two kids beside him and said, "I'll only hire you, what about the others?"

"Hello, sir." An Elf girl who looked ten years old but was probably twenty years old took the initiative to say, "My name is Sasha. Although I am very young, I have already learned basic tasks such as cooking, washing clothes and cleaning. I would like to apply for the job of cleaner on the Beloberg. Some narrow corners are easier to clean for a child like me than for a robot."

"Hello, sir." The boy followed up, "I have the physical strength and power equivalent to an adult male. We can do any rough or heavy work."

"As you can see, sir," Celestine said, "Although my people are still young, they are able to work. All you need is for you to provide them with a place to live and the most basic food."
