Counterattack [Interstellar] - Chapter 66
For a long time, Allen thought that the incident on the Pearl was a premeditated and organized accident. Both Alan and Anthony had spent a lot of time, but they were unable to find out who was behind the attack on the Pearl. There have been divergent opinions about the identity of the original attacker for many years, but there is one thing everyone is sure of, and has never doubted, that they have been so determined for ten years… They came to Allen.
And just last night, this conclusion was overturned by the star thief himself.
The star thief was called Benjamin. He admitted that he was also on the enemy ship at the time. The order they received was to kill His Royal Highness Allen and capture the accompanying official Major General Pei Yao alive. When there is a conflict between the two, the latter will be given priority.
Allen had a lot of questions, but Benjamin couldn’t answer anything else. Naturally, Allen would not believe what a star thief said. Last night he exhausted all his methods, and several times almost killed Benjamin, but Benjamin I only talked about these useful things over and over again, but as for the others, he didn’t know at all.
Benjamin was originally a mercenary. In an accident, he accidentally killed the boss who hired him. Benjamin fled in fear of crime and became a “wild mercenary”. Most of the tasks received were not easy to see. After leaving the organization, the situation became worse. Benjamin’s daily work was almost the same as the star thief. So when he heard about the deal that attacked the Pearl, Benjamin thought I didn’t want to just agree.
Anyway, I usually rob homes, but this time I did something bigger. The boss gave more money. Why not do it? These are the original words of Benjamin.
According to Benjamin, there were more than one hundred of them at the time. Nearly one hundred of them were private soldiers of the boss. They had advanced ordnance and very strong combat capabilities. They were not in the same class as Benjamin’s foreign part-time jobs, and they rarely talked. , The occasional communication is limited to their own people, so the starships are almost distinct. Everyone wears the same clothes, is equipped with the same gun and eats the same meal, but you can tell at a glance which dial.
Benjamin also found out that something was wrong at that time. In terms of the combat arrangement, the boss separated them all. Naturally, high-risk jobs were assigned to these skirmishers. Benjamin was a little resigned at the time, and he was worried that he would go this time. No reply, but the broker who introduced him here patted his chest and assured him that there is absolutely no problem.
The huge amount of hire money allowed Benjamin to stay and participate in the operation. As a result, everyone knew…killing Allen and capturing Pei Yao alive, they didn’t do either.
“I was supposed to be the third group of people to board the Pearl, but the garrison in Victoria Harbor had already arrived at that time, and we had to give up the action.” Benjamin’s eyes were flushed and he looked at Allen humblely and pleaded, “I don’t have Boarding, but I know the situation there. Our people just hurt you and didn’t have much impact on you. As for your princess, Major General Pei Yao…we didn’t even move him, we didn’t. Success… please forgive me…”
Hearing this, Alan released a few more mental power tentacles, which repeatedly pierced Benjamin’s brain fiercely!
Alan’s eyes were red, and he couldn’t wait to take Benjamin’s skin off. This group of idiots mistakenly regarded Pei Yao holding his communication device as himself, and almost killed Pei Yao!
Benjamin screamed in despair, and it took a long time for Allen to suppress his anger and let him go.
“Who is your boss?” Allen said coldly, eyes full of prey, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say, we can continue.”
“I said I said!” There is no punishment that can destroy a person more than a mental attack. Benjamin paled, and hurriedly responded, but after he agreed, he lost his mind and said, “I really don’t know…I I have never seen him! The boss does not often appear on the ship, and occasionally only sees his own private soldiers, and never sees us… Your Highness! What I said is true! I really haven’t seen him!”
Benjamin is on the verge of collapse, and any stimulus may drive him crazy. Allen fixedly looked at his eyes and said coldly after confirming that he was not lying: “Go on.”
The following words are of no value. They fled all the way after the failure of that operation, and only a month later did they completely get rid of the people of the Empire. At that time, there were only seven mercenaries on the starship, and Benjamin was one of them. One.
At that time, Benjamin could feel the hostility of the private soldiers to him all the time. Benjamin was certain that if it weren’t for the fact that they could do a little bit while fleeing, the private soldiers would probably kill a few of them. After leaving the Empire, Benjamin sneaked into the belly compartment of the starship, got into a space shuttle and escaped.
After wandering for a few years, Benjamin took refuge in Darren, the leader of the star thief, and it took quite a few years to spend some leisure time. Afterwards, Darren would have to do something with Allen. Benjamin was bitten by a snake and refused to be here. He was involved in the matter, but he never expected that Darren would also be planted in Alan’s hands. After Darren’s death, the original organization collapsed. The life of the dragons without a leader was difficult. During the action, he was captured by Admiral Barker.
Benjamin thought he would spend the rest of his life in Bradman Prison, but by chance, he met Alan again.
“His Royal Highness… I really said it. For you, yes…” Benjamin’s voice trembled, “It’s a guide… I will never say anything, please forgive me, forgive me…”
Benjamin was the only person he knew who had participated in the attack on the Pearl. His fate was still worthwhile. In the end, Alan didn’t kill him, but just let Balk take care of him.
The interrogation did not last long. Allen was delayed until midnight to return, considering Benjamin’s words repeatedly in Bradman Prison.
The possibility of lying under his own intensity of interrogation is very low. Allen first assumed that Benjamin was telling the truth, and then pieced together the accident ten years ago.
The mysterious whereabouts of the “boss” mentioned by Benjamin will not allow outsiders such as Benjamin to see his face. The ability to have his own army and starship, as well as the most advanced ordnance, shows that his identity is extraordinary. From this point of view, Allen doesn’t think this person will hire Star Pirates because of lack of manpower. It is very likely… He just doesn’t want to compromise his manpower, so he would rather pay ten times the price to let outsiders die.
A “boss” who cherishes his subordinates.
Of course, it is also possible that he does not want his own body to remain on the Pearl after the operation fails. According to Benjamin, his private soldiers are very distinctive, and perhaps someone will infer the identity of the boss through their bodies.
These are not what Ellen cares about the most. The most important thing Benjamin told him is… the boss’s order: kill Ellen and catch Pei Yao. You must choose one of the two, giving priority to the latter.
Alan felt a little cold in his heart. Although it was unbelievable, there was an answer that was ready to come out.
