...
In the base's entrance passage, a group of Lizard-men, led by Vincent, had taken up formation.
Before long, amidst the sound of explosions, human soldiers arrived before them.
Seeing the swords and blades in the hands of the battle-ready Lizard-men, then looking down at the Spiritual Energy Guns in their own, the soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
Vincent knew what they were laughing at, but there was nothing to be done. Operating an illegal mine on a Human Race planet would, at worst, lead to a fine, confiscation of a few shipments' profits, and deportation if they were caught. But if you added smuggling military arms and illegally possessing controlled weapons to the charges, the crime was far more severe. Whether they could even get off Cuiwei Star would be a serious question.
Besides, in the past, it was always Opal Hass's people who handled conflicts. The Lizard-men only needed to ensure the base ran smoothly.
