MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 71
August 18, 1128, Galactic Calendar
Standing in the corner of the flagship command cabin, Shang Ping looked up at the huge screen that occupied the entire wall. His eyes were extremely focused, as if seeing countless stars and planets twinkling in the dark universe for the first time, even if Most of them are just fleeting. Before he saw those distant rays of light, or a long, long time ago, these beautiful planets had turned into cosmic dust, and what was reflected in his eyes now is nothing but the boundless universe. A shadow in the .
When Soran Edrich turned around, what he saw was the dark-haired boy with confused eyes, pursed lips, and looked at the countless constellations on the screen in a daze. For some reason, Soran Edrich felt that the black-haired boy at this moment was very similar to the golden wagtail he kept in the summer palace. There is a little guy who can face off against eagles.
Lieutenant General Metz motioned to Admiral Ida to look at His Highness the First Prince who suddenly lost his mind, and the corners of his eyes and brows seemed to have some indescribable curiosity. Admiral Date just looked up, and then refocused his attention on the virtual light screen in front of him. Marshal Novi has just received news that a small merchant ship was carrying the Marshal and his heartfelt subordinates to this artificial celestial body. On the way, it suddenly encountered cosmic turbulence, deviated from the established channel, and unexpectedly encountered The Royce artificial celestial body that was abandoned in the universe to fend for itself, Novi is fully aware of what happened before this celestial body, but let the original plan to use this abandoned artificial celestial body to take a short rest to avoid the turbulent flow. The Marshal, who continued to sail, was surprised that they had detected signs of life on the celestial body! After turning around the celestial body, I was stunned to discover that a mixed fleet with the mark of the Mars Universe Fleet was conducting some kind of amazing exercise in this abandoned artificial celestial body.
Marshal Novi and the warriors of the Golden Empire are both excellent, and when they realized the danger, they reacted immediately. However, unfortunately, they had no way to avoid the radar and survey instruments of the opposing fleet with the help of the sailing merchant ships, and they were facing the same fleet of excellent soldiers. Under the absolute advantage of losing the huge battleship and artillery construction, there is no suspense, Marshal Novi and his heartfelt subordinates immediately became the prisoners of the Mars people. To Novi's surprise, these Mars people did not intend to silence him or **** him back to the country with the soldiers of the Golden Empire's space fleet. Even if these people have fought against the Golden Empire space fleet several times, they have seen the appearance of the Golden Empire soldiers through video messages. From Novi's appearance and words and deeds, it is completely possible to judge the identities of the people in this small merchant ship. This group of Mars The soldiers did nothing but target them with icy muzzles, trapping them in the abandoned Royce artificial celestial body.
Of course, their treatment is not good, but at least they will not face death immediately. Nor are they too much restricted in their freedom, but simply cannot be removed from the room where they are locked.
This is really not a good thing for Marshal Novi, who has always paid attention to noble etiquette and behavior. The next development of the matter really made Novi's hunch come true.
"So, the great marshal is actually allowed to use the communicator to contact us?"
Lieutenant General Metz put one hand on Admiral Ida's shoulder and looked at the virtual light screen. Although he was captured and imprisoned, he was still a decent Marshal, with obvious ridicule in his eyes.
Metz has always disliked Novi, just as he hated Giovanna. These guys with old-fashioned aristocratic habits made him hate them, even if Soran Edrich always let the arrogance and hypocrisy of these guys.
Admiral Ida just looked at Novi intently, until Novi said the last word, then raised his head and looked at Soran Edrich: "Your Highness, do you think you can agree?"
Soran Edrich was in a trance from the beginning, until Admiral Ida's voice called his attention back. Regarding the term "exchange prisoners of war" mentioned by Novi, Soran Edrich could not understand the intention of the other party in the first place. He was not sure how these Mars soldiers learned of Novi's identity in the imperial army. Although Novi himself has an officer temperament that cannot be ignored, Novi, who is a nobleman, is not just an imperial marshal. . If these Mars people really know the identity of Novi, what is their purpose, they will be willing to exchange a marshal and more than a dozen loyal soldiers of the Golden Empire in exchange for two unremarkable teenagers ?
Even if these two teenagers—no, or should I say the black-haired boy, more or less caused him some minor troubles before.
Is it really as he guessed?
Soran Edrich ignored the puzzled eyes of Lieutenant General Metz and Admiral Ida, and went straight to Shang Ping. Although he was allowed to stay in the command cabin, according to imperial traditions, Shang Ping's body was still shrouded in shroud. With a layer of transparent magnetic field, he isolated all sounds from the outside world for three meters around him. He could only watch and talk to himself. Now he is like being locked in an invisible cage, cut off from all sounds from the outside world, even if he can read lips, it is completely useless! According to the tradition of the Golden Empire, in the flagship command cabin, all military and combat-related news must be in the old-style aristocratic language of the Golden Empire. Even the royal family, as long as they haven't boarded a battleship, can't understand even a single word, a single word.
Shang Ping couldn't understand it, but he still watched with interest these "beauties" of the golden empire, which were as delicate as crystals, talking about their topics silently, like watching a wonderful mime. Until Soran Edrich walked in front of him, pressed a green button not far away, and released the cage around Shang Ping. Before Shang Ping could enjoy the sudden freedom, he was caught by a cold Holding his chin with his hand, Shang Ping sighed secretly as he looked at the ice blue eyes that were close at hand, since he was brought into his command cabin by the alien prince in a very shocking hugging posture last time, Shang Ping There is a very bad premonition. Obviously, the cold and icy Prince His Royal Highness does not seem to realize that his current behavior has begun to develop in a very strange direction. This should not be an attitude towards prisoners. At least, in business In Ping's understanding, no one would treat a "captive" so preferentially. As for Lochette, who is still being held in the original cell and has not received the same treatment, Shang Ping automatically replaced the current situation of the two. The answer he got made him a little annoyed. In comparison, he wanted to be locked in that cell instead of Lochette, and let the boy who likes to think about it instead be held by this cold beauty on his chin. It feels like a luxury to tug at the corners of your mouth.
"Perhaps, you are very precious."
Soran Edrich suddenly said something inexplicable, his fingertips brushed the line of Shang Ping's jaw, leaving a cold trace on the boy's cheek.
Khanom Fortress
When Commander Terry received the report from Colonel Edgar, he was almost irritated and lost his mind. He set up a laser cannon to blast off the head of a colonel who was leading a mixed fleet in a real combat exercise!
And Colonel Edgar, who was formulating the next stage of the exercise plan, suddenly shivered. Austin and Zuo Jia, who were standing beside him, looked at each other and chose silence at the same time.
According to the plan, Colonel Edgar was supposed to lead the mixed fleet back to the Kanon military fortress after completing the exercise. He never thought that Ailu, who had almost caused disaster because of his recklessness, suddenly showed some kind of mischief to Colonel Edgar. Almost idiotic worship.
Yes, idiot.
For the first time, Austin South used such unpolished words to describe his comrades and colleagues.
Perhaps because of a certain word from Colonel Edgar, Commander Terry did not drive these dummies out of the army for the time being, which caused Colonel Edgar's troubles at the moment. His current situation is more like a poor guy who is troubled by the enthusiasm of a fanatical suitor and has nowhere to hide.
The sudden appearance of the small merchant ship captured the entire group of the merchant ship. This seemingly ordinary emergency not only rescued Colonel Edgar, but also made Austin's mood fly.
Nothing more, after Colonel Edgar communicated with Commander-in-Chief David Soth, he confirmed the news from the γ-planet city Free Federation, and learned the true identities of Novi, which made Edgar. In addition, the colonel did not even bother to apply to Commander Terry in advance, so he made a request for the exchange of prisoners of war without authorization.
After Austin prayed that things would go well and that Shang Ping could come back safely as soon as possible, there was a faint unease in his heart. However, looking at Colonel Edgar, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
No matter what it was, as long as he thought about Shang Ping's safe return, everything would be fine...
