It was impossible for Ding Meng and the others to take care of the wounded. The eight medical cabins were also operating at full capacity. Fortunately, the people from Planet Poison Barrier were all doctors, so they could basically take care of the wounded on a one-to-one basis.
The supplies on the transport ship were also well prepared, especially highly polymerized nutrient solutions and healing agents. They filled up five cabins. The Commander must have deliberately prepared them to curry favor with Ding Meng. In that case, Ding Meng owed the Commander a small favour.
After two days of busy work on the transport ship, a flashing green dot finally appeared in the night sky of Planet KV303. The Green Arrow Corps' fleet had finally arrived.
Three huge transport starships hovered in space. Then, forty to fifty transport ships flew out from inside, passed through the atmosphere, and landed around the transport ship one after another.
Silman had completely recovered after receiving treatment from the medical cabin. He was now standing at the gate of the transport ship, waiting.
The transport starships had obviously detected the situation on the ground while they were still in space. Therefore, as soon as the starships landed, a large number of Hunters from the Green Arrow Corps spread out in an orderly manner.
Those who cleaned up the battlefield drove robots to start shoveling corpses, removing debris, moving debris, and spraying disinfectants. Those who transported the supplies were all intelligent robots. In fact, these robots were a bit like engineering vehicles, but they were operated by advanced intelligent programs. The repair team was purely made up of Hunters. Everyone rushed towards the spaceport. The raging fire had burned for an entire week in such cold weather without extinguishing. It was enough to show how fierce and tragic the fierce battle was at that time.
The six or seven people who stepped on the snow and walked towards the transport ship on foot were the upper echelons of the Green Arrow Corps.
The person walking at the front of the group was wearing a very ordinary Corps Hunter uniform, but he was tall, his steps steady, his face handsome, and his bearing extraordinary. This person was the chief commander of the Green Arrow Corps, Fang Zhenghao.
When they were still five or six meters apart, Fang Zhenghao extended his right hand to Silman and quickened his pace.
As the two hands tightly clasped together, Fang Zhenghao's left hand slowly gripped Silman's shoulder and shook it hard. He did not speak, but his solemn expression and action were enough to explain everything.
Sileman then turned around and introduced, "Commander, this is Brother Ding Meng."
Fang Zhenghao also extended his hand in a friendly manner. "Hello, Brother Ding. On behalf of our Green Arrow Bounty Hunter Corps, I would like to extend my highest respect to you. You have done a lot for our corps, which makes me feel ashamed."
"Captain Fang, you're too polite."
Ding Meng's reaction was very calm. The moment he shook hands with Fang Zhenghao, he could already feel that this Fang Zhenghao was most likely an origin ability user of the metal system. His palm prints had already mutated and were as hard as a steel alloy.
The slight movement of Origin Energy in his palm told Ding Meng that the Green Arrow's captain's Origin Energy was quite pure. He estimated that his rank was not below beginner War Reverent.
The person behind Fang Zhenghao was naturally Gulaja. Gulaja's expression was just as solemn. Everyone exchanged a few simple greetings and didn't say much.
At this time and place, it was really not suitable to talk too much.
However, other than Fang Zhenghao, Gulaja, and their two followers, there was another unfamiliar face.
This person was the same as Fang Zhenghao. Looking at his age, he should be middle-aged. He was slightly short and had a slightly plump figure. He wore a tailored suit and was probably an ordinary person. However, he looked quite dignified.
Ding Meng now knew that this was the deputy commander of Phoenix Planet No.3 Space Station, Zhuang Weiming. The Holy Grail Federation couldn't remain indifferent to the tragedy that happened on Planet KV303. They had to respond. However, Zhuang Weiming's official rank was indeed a little low.
Behind Zhuang Weiming was a man in a suit. These two people were obviously much younger, but their strength was quite good. The slight aura they exuded was actually the slight fluctuation of a high-level warrior. They must have followed to protect Zhuang Weiming's safety.
This group of people entered the carrier ship. It was not suitable for Xueyan and the others to show their faces. Almost everyone returned to the rest area and the medical area. In the rest area of the control hall, Fang Zhenghao, Zhuang Weiming, Ding Meng, Sileman, and Gulaja sat on the sofa.
Yu Liang served hot tea. The Green Arrow Corps still had to show the most basic etiquette when the commander of the space station came.
Of course, no one was in the mood to drink tea and chat. Zhuang Weiming simply went straight to the point.
"Zhenghao, everyone saw the situation here in space just now. I won't go into the details. My suggestion is that since this place has become like this, why don't we just move and find a planet with a better environment to settle the rest of the people. After all, the Green Arrow Corps has been working hard for these people. I think it's best to look forward …"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but there was a big problem when it came from his mouth. He came to Planet KV303 on behalf of the Holy Grail Federation. His every word and action represented the Federation's reaction to this matter. Now, he had made his stance clear, but this stance had nothing to do with the extreme pirates. This was not the original purpose of the Green Arrow Corps inviting him here.
"Brother Zhuang, that makes sense."
Fang Zhenghao's expression did not change. His face was very calm. "But moving isn't an easy thing. The people here have lived here for generations. They may not leave their home."
"But the environment of this planet has already become so bad. You have to find a way to persuade everyone."
When he said this, Zhuang Weiming shrugged. He was just short of saying: "Whether you move or not is your own business. It has nothing to do with us."
Fang Zhenghao still said calmly, "Brother Zhuang, we also made a request to the Federation's Security Council.
"Brother Zhuang, we, the Green Arrow Corps, also responded to the call of the Federation's Security Department to do our best to maintain the stability of the Observant Star System. Since we have occupied part of nebula KV3545, we naturally have to do our best to fulfill our obligations. Looking at all the major corps in outer space, the Green Arrow Corps is the only one that has really done our best over the years. It's not that the others haven't fulfilled their obligations, it's just that we have put in more effort and shouldn't get the same result as KV303.
What do you think? "Fang Zhenghao's words were quite skillful. Not only did he cleverly lead the conversation back to the right track, but he also used the name of the Federation's Security Department to pressure people. After all, the tragedy had happened. The dead could not be brought back to life, but the reputation of the Green Arrow Corps could not be tarnished. If the Holy Grail Federation could come here once, there would definitely be a second time, a third time, a fourth time … or even a countless number of times. If the Holy Grail Federation did not respond strongly to this, the other party would only become more unscrupulous, and the consequences would be more serious than one could imagine.
The Green Arrow Corps hoped that the Federation could intervene in this matter, but they had no other choice.
In terms of financial resources, the Green Arrow Corps was not as good as Sirius. In terms of transportation, the Green Arrow Corps was not as good as Raiding. In terms of combat power, the Green Arrow Corps was far inferior to the Dragon-slaying Corps. Furthermore, the combat power of the Extreme Pirate Corps was not weak. Even if the Green Arrow Corps could borrow money from Sirius, transfer starships from Raiding, and recruit experts from Dragon-slaying Corps, not to mention whether this counterattack would work or not, they were afraid that the Federation would intervene with the reason of "safety and stability" when the fight was in the heat of the moment.
Therefore, Fang Zhenghao invited Zhuang Weiming to planet KV303. It seemed that he was trying to mediate through diplomatic means, but in fact, it was a wise move.
It couldn't be helped. Once a person was in a certain position, they had to consider everything from all aspects.
Fang Zhenghao's real intention was actually the same as Sleman and Gulaga's. Because of this incident, the Holy Grail Federation would send a patrol fleet to encircle and annihilate the Extreme Pirate Corps. When the time came, the Green Arrow Corps would follow. They would not let those heartless bastards go.
Now that Fang Zhenghao had pointed out the problem, Zhuang Weiming had to accept it. He took a sip of water and said earnestly, "Zhenghao, we have been old friends for many years. Let's skip the pretense. Back then, when the Green Arrow Corps was allowed to enter KV303, I also contributed. I feel that I have the right to say some harsh words."
Fang Zhenghao immediately nodded. "Brother Zhuang, you are too humble. You have contributed greatly. Please speak. We are all ears."
Zhuang Weiming continued. "Let me be frank. You say this incident is big, but for Planet Phoenix Space Station, this kind of thing happens every day in outer space. The Federation can't do anything about it. You say it's small. Tens of thousands of people dying all of a sudden is definitely not a joke. I can record this incident and report it to the higher-ups. I am also willing to help supervise the process. Can you send it to the military?
I can't promise you anything. Even if I could, would the military be willing to send out a fleet?
That's another unknown. And these aren't the key issues. The key is that we have to follow the standard procedure and ask the Federation for help. This process takes a very long time. If we are late, it will take three to five months. If we are late, it will take two to three years. "
He paused and continued, "Zhenghao, we've been friends for many years. To be honest, if I can make the decision, I'll help you without hesitation. But … I'm really sorry about this. I hope you can try to think positively."
After saying this, Fang Zhenghao immediately fell into deep thought.
Putting aside the Federation's final decision on this matter, two to three years was too long. Green Arrow could not afford to wait, and neither could the victims. Perhaps after two to three years, this incident would be forgotten by everyone.
Sileman finally could not hold it in any longer. "Station Commander Zhuang, our Holy Grail Federation is a country that values humanitarianism the most. Are we just going to let those abominable pirates go?
Let them continue to do whatever they want? "
Logically speaking, Sileman did not have the right to directly ask Zhuang Weiming questions in this kind of discussion, especially questions that were of a questioning nature. However, considering that such a tragedy had just happened on this planet, Zhuang Weiming could more or less understand Sileman's feelings. He still patiently explained.
"Captain Sileman, the Federation will definitely not ignore this, but it is precisely because our Holy Grail Federation values humanitarianism that any official action must be supported by law, passed by parliament, and authorized by the military. Only then can the patrol fleet carry out military operations. Otherwise, we will not be able to answer to all the citizens."
Sileman was not good at dealing with these officials, so he could not understand the true meaning behind his words. However, he felt that the other party's words made sense. For a moment, he did not know how to answer.
However, at this moment, a cold voice rang out. "What you're saying is that the people who died were not citizens, but refugees. So what if they died? It doesn't matter. It's not worth the Federation sending out a fleet?
So if tens of thousands of citizens died, the Federation will definitely send out a fleet?
Is that what you're saying? "
Obviously, only a straight man like Ding Meng would dare to raise such a sharp question.
