Chapter 53 The Floran Colony 8 (1/2)
”Wait, WAIT!” One of the soldiers shouted when he saw that Peri was about to start attacking again.
The soldier's back was covered in cold sweat when he glanced at Peri's bloodlust eyes. ”W-we are from the Black Star Syndicate. We are currently in the middle of a operation, and if you guys leave now, we won't persuit any of you bacause of this transgression.” His voice trembled while he tried to persuade their enemies to retreat.
Using the name Black Star Syndicate would have worked if their opponents were from a small group of outlaws, pirates or organization, but they weren't. John and Lenny won't care a damn about the BSS while Peri just couldn't wait to eat the flesh of those who killed her family.
In other words, it was useless.
Peri sprang forward with high speed and attacked with the spear.
*Puchi*
The spear pierced the heart of another enemy.
But this time the soldier didn't fell, he gripped the spear and didn't allowed Peri to take it out from his body.
The soldier let out a bloodied grin at Peri's enlarged eyes.
The other soldier took the advantage and aimed at Peri that was locked.
*Bang*
Before he was able to shoot her, he was shot right in the head by a sniper rifle. His helmet was sent flying in the air, but he was still okay, only a bit dizzy.
*Bang*
John took the opportunity and shot the soldier in his unprotected head.
Peri let loose of her grip in the spear and used her green knife to cut the soldier's throat.
*Splash*
More blood drenched Peri's body. She locked her sight at the last soldier.
The last soldier dropped his weapon and lifted his hands high in the air. ”I-I-I Give up.” He said with a trembling voice.
Peri was about to finish the enemy off when John grabbed her shoulder. ”Let's interrogate him first, shall we?” He glanced at her eyes and saw the burning desire for revenge.
”...” She just casted a side glance at John and then lowered her knife.
With a wave of her hand, the spear that was lodged in the heart of another enemy, disappeared and appeared in her hand, once again.
John saw that and became more curious about how she do that.
Lenny looked at Peri from the scope of his sniper. His finger stayed over the trigger for while before he sighed and jumped from the tree he was in.
He gazed with a profound look at Peri and walked toward John.
”What the Syndicate is doing in this planet?” John asked the soldier.
”We're in a mission to capture Florans for the Miniknog.” The soldier said without hesitation. Just one look at the Floran beside him and he became terrified so he decided to take the chance and surrender.
John frowned when he heard the word Miniknog.
[The Apex's Ministry of Knowledge... What they want with the Florans?] John tried to think deeper, but he was unable to make any link between the Apex and the Florans.
The Miniknog is basically controlled by the Big Ape, the dictator of the Apex's race. He rule over the Apex race with a iron fist. The Miniknog control the culture, science, entertainment and even the life of each Apex under their rule.
Of course some Apex don't like being controlled by a dictator, so they escape from the government and live like rebels, trying to put down the Big Ape's rule, but they are the minority.
