From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 170 The Supreme Agreement and the Returning Gun (-in-)

The seaside city of Yalai is located between Ravenhawk, the capital of Weiminster, and the exclusive area of ​​the Irons family.

It has always been ranked among the top three star resorts in Westminster for its well-developed entertainment services, excellent seaside leisure experience and magnificent sea views.

Even members of the Irons family, who have accumulated hundreds of kilometers of family beaches, occasionally go to Yalai to relax and relax.

In their words, it's 'feeling the popularity'.

Right now, at the end of the 588th year of the New Calendar, the Star Dragon Empire has its own national calendar.

But as humans, they still use the New Calendar like the Federation and celebrate various festivals according to the New Calendar.

At the end of each year, when preparing to welcome the new year, it is also the peak time for travel for the citizens of the empire who have been busy for a year.

Of course, the imperial citizens referred to here are those 'middle-level citizens' who, although they do not have aristocratic status, own their own industries or capital and can support their annual interstellar travel.

They are either executives of some large companies, have certain industries on the planet where they live, or work under some big nobles.

All in all, compared to those 'lower-class citizens' who have been inseparable from the planet where they were born all their lives, never even left the atmosphere, and just guarded their own three-acre land all day long, the lives of these people are already luxurious enough. .

The gap between rich and poor within the Star Dragon Empire is actually much larger than that of the Federation.

Due to the existence of the aristocracy and class system, top-down exploitation is simpler and more crude than the federal approach of 'moistening things silently'.

Amber had previously used it on Robert Four to refute what Isabel said about ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages being no joke.

On some underdeveloped agricultural planets, the Imperial Golden Dragons allocated from the national treasury to provide vehicle subsidies to the residents were unscrupulously deducted by those who handled them.

Finally, when it came to the level of these lower-class citizens, the originally planned pure electric transportation tool eventually turned into a more 'environmentally friendly' bullock cart.
The empire's cutting-edge space battleships, which are expensive to build, are flying in orbit, but people on the ground are using traditional "biodynamic transportation tools."

Such cosmic wonders have always been 'talked about' by players in the game.

At this moment, it is the most prosperous area in Yalai City.

The family traveled across several galaxies and came to Yalai. They spent huge sums of money to book a seaside villa and were preparing to spend the New Year here. The 'middle-class citizens' were walking on the streets of Yalai, feeling the same as the planet they lived on. A cultural atmosphere full of differences.

The male head of the family also holds a compact video recording terminal to record the happy life of his family in all aspects.

But such a warm scene was broken in the next moment.

Following a loud noise, a huge steel machine suddenly rushed out from the streets lined with high-rise buildings.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this large machine looks like a giant. With the help of the pilot's exquisite operation, the propulsion array on its back, and the nozzles all over its body, it has avoided pedestrians and several aerial vehicles on the street.

Then it fell heavily to the ground and left several footprints on the road at the intersection.

"Everyone around, leave quickly!"

A processed voice came from the mechanical giant's speaker, which sounded a little weird.

But except for the surrounding pedestrians and vehicles, they escaped amid ear-piercing screams.

The first thing that more tourists around did was not to run away, but to raise their video recording terminals to record this rare scene.

Many of them have already recognized that this is a military HCP, and it looks like a fanatic from the outside.

Although the paint on this fanatic's car is different from what they usually see on the news, the look is still unmistakable to them.

"What's going on? Is this a movie?"

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen fanatics so close! But the paint looks different from the military?"

"You're stupid, this must have been specially changed for the purpose of making a movie!"

"Then aren't we all performing in a group?"

Amid the comments from the surrounding tourists, the fanatic did not continue to say anything.

Instead, with a sliding sound of the mechanical structure, the shield originally mounted on the left shoulder armor was taken off and held on the mechanical arm.

Immediately afterwards, the body of the fanatic sank slightly, and the position of the mechanical foot also went "bang bang!" 'A few spikes popped out and pierced into the road.

While the tourists were puzzled, their personal terminals rang almost at the same time.

An emergency evacuation notice from the Yalai Municipal Center popped up.

"Dear citizens and tourists, there is currently a high-risk emergency situation in Yalai City. For the safety of your personal and property, please quickly go to the nearest emergency evacuation point to take refuge."

As soon as this news popped up, many people knew that something was wrong.

The tall steel giant in front of me is not a prop for a movie, but a real HCP.

The man who just took his family shopping for a photo suddenly panicked. He hurriedly turned around and pulled his family with him, intending to run away.

Following his move, the crowd that had been standing there to watch the excitement suddenly exploded as if a few drops of water had been dropped into a frying pan.

People screamed and scattered around in panic.

It's a pity that they didn't pay attention to the warning issued by the HCP's loudspeaker, and it was still a step too late to run now.

While the crowd was moving, a blue-white beam of light swept across the street in the direction from which the fanatic rushed out.

Just like Odin's Gungnir in mythology, this beam finally hit an invisible shield composed of countless blue arcs.

The deflected heavy metal ion jet is quickly cooled in the air and turns orange-red. Finally, it falls towards the ground under the action of gravitational potential energy, forming a 'rain of death'.

Not only the various vehicles and machinery on the street, but also the buildings on both sides had a lot of marks like sand holes.

Those tourists and citizens who did not escape fell like wheat after being affected by the flying heavy metal ion jets.

The man with his family kept looking back while escaping, but failed to notice a couple in front of him who were also dressed as tourists.

When he realized something was wrong, it was too late to stop, and he ran straight towards the male of the couple.

But just when the two sides were about to come into contact, the couple suddenly ducked to the side to avoid the collision that was about to happen.

When the two sides passed each other, the man only saw the two lovers whose faces could not be seen clearly in their peaked caps, and nodded towards him.

"The response is so fast! Is this genetically modified?"

The man was a little surprised, but he didn't stop.

"You are traveling at such a young age. Could you be a descendant of some noble family?"

Although some are curious about the identity of this couple, in the man's heart, his family is more important.

Behind, the Zealot that was under attack also raised its electromagnetic rifle and fired towards the other side of the street. Not long after its figure gradually disappeared at the intersection, an HCP painted by the Irons family rushed through the street dragging a plasma heavy sword.

He didn't take any care of the unlucky pedestrians who had no time to dodge the plasma blade and were turned to life in the high temperature.

Looking at this scene, Amber and Isabel, who had separated from the machine and disguised themselves as tourists, couldn't help but sigh.

"Do these people from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs really not regard civilians as human beings? They fired heavy particle cannons in the street, and they rushed in like this, dragging heavy swords."

"Yes, they are becoming more and more lawless now. Let alone civilians, even if there are nobles among the people affected, in the words of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are 'unlucky for themselves'."

"The regent doesn't care at all? A careerist like him isn't afraid of losing the support of the people?"

Amber pulled Isabel and ran towards the predetermined location, looking back from time to time.

"I heard that the regent issued an order asking these violent organizations not to harm civilians during their operations. But even if he is the regent, when such an order is implemented at the grassroots level, it is really just a sentence."

Isabel raised her hand, lowered her peaked cap a little further, and then continued to ask:

"Amber, is this 'combat program' you set up so powerful? It's no different from unmanned combat driving, right?"

"It's quite powerful, but it's not easy to use and the combat intelligence is not high."

Amber made a few random remarks while bearing Lilith's dissatisfaction with the evaluation of "low combat intelligence" in her mind.

To Isabel, this was just a cover-up.

It's just that it may involve Amber's secret, so it's not convenient to tell it.

Although Isabel is a bit of a spy, she is still a smart woman.

She knew there were things she shouldn't know and it was best not to even ask.

After all, Amber has too many secrets. It would not be a good thing for her to remain curious, and it would not be conducive to the development of the relationship between the two.

Even if two people exchange secrets with each other, it will not bring about an increase in intimacy, it will only make the relationship between the two gradually become estranged.

She loves Amber anyway, and Amber should like her too?
And he is in his prime and has good physical strength.

This is enough.

Couples like her and Amber, whose identities are not simple, are destined to be unable to fall in love like ordinary people.

And she also knew that people like Amber were not destined to have only one partner.

If you really want to stay by his side, don't think about touching some red lines.

Seeing that Isabel didn't ask any more questions, Amber, who was holding her hand, also breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "This woman is awesome!"

After all, Lilith is one of his biggest secrets and trump cards, and he doesn't want others to know about it yet.

Moreover, Lilith's current performance made him feel more and more that his decision to risk his life and bring out this strong artificial intelligence was the right decision.

After the driving fanatic rushed into the city, Amber quickly found a deserted corner to put herself and Isabel down, and put on the casual clothes that had been prepared in the cockpit.

After Amber and the others left, Lilith within the fanatics directly began to implement the 'Supreme Agreement'.

This is something written in the Lilith Meta-Directives.

The content is also very simple, that is, to do everything possible to ensure the safety of Amber's life.

In fact, Amber's PUA or earnest teaching and guidance to Lilith on weekdays not only prevented Lilith from going down the wrong path like in her previous life.

Moreover, Amber's status in the 'heart' of this strong artificial intelligence has far surpassed that of her creator, Dr. Mephisto.

So even if there is no Supreme Agreement, based on Lilith's own thoughts, she will do her best to protect Amber.

And this time Lilith's approach was also very rough. Anyway, she could already control the HCP for basic combat, and the pursuer would never have imagined that the HCP could operate unmanned.

So she directly kept a thinking clone in the HCP, and then let her operate the HCP to 'pretend' in the downtown area, successfully attracting the pursuers.

At present, more and more enemy reinforcements and smaller and smaller encirclements let Lilith and Amber know that the other party may want to capture them alive.

After all, whether it was the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, Bill Water, or even the Imperial Finance Minister, they were all very curious about Amber who was causing havoc in the manor.

They really want to know which force made such an outrageous move.

But unfortunately, Amber and Lilith won't let them get what they want.

Because the fanatics will eventually rush to the sea, and after gaining enough distance, perform the operation of melting the core.

When the sound of fighting in the city gradually faded away towards the seaside, Amber took Isabel to the edge of the city again.

They blended into the crowd of countless tourists and residents who wanted to escape from the city, and successfully left the temporary blockade formed by the Irons family's private soldiers and police.

Amber was originally worried that Isabel would be recognized by the family's private soldiers.

As a result, with the help of Lilith, he got through easily.

"Why don't any of your family's private soldiers recognize you? Are you sure you are the daughter of the patriarch of the Irons family?"

Because the customs pass was so smooth, Amber felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Noble women don't show much publicity to begin with~"

Isabel turned pale as Amber in anger and continued:

"And since I joined the Naval Intelligence Department, all my information has been kept secret. Many people don't even know that my father has my daughter."

"I see."

Amber nodded and was about to say something when she heard Isabel ask again:

"Amber, what are you going to do now? If you make such a big fuss, you probably won't be able to leave this planet during this time."

"Who said I was leaving?"

"what?"

Seeing Isabel's confused expression, Amber added with a smile.

"Dear, do you know that on the Blue Star in ancient times, there was an ancient marksmanship called the 'Returning Spear'?"
