MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 75
Abandoned Royce artificial celestial body, a team of engineers are driving robots to work around the celestial body in units of 20,000 kilometers. As the place where the Kanon military fortress and the Golden Empire fleet exchange prisoners, whether it is Ed Plus Colonel, or Commander Terry, do not want any changes in this short half-day period. As for the plans of those from distant outer galaxies, it is not within their consideration at this time.
"Just to let the two children—no, two brave warriors of Mars go home!"
In front of the communication screen, Colonel Edgar had his hands behind his back, his military posture was straight, his legs were straddling, and Commander Terry, who took up half of the screen, lost his joking mood about Colonel Edgar's nervous appearance. Their bushy brows furrowed. At this moment, they abandoned all conspiracies and tricks, and wholeheartedly hoped that the other party would be the same as themselves, but simply came to the artificial celestial body of Royce and exchanged prisoners of war, that's all.
"I'm not feeling well, Austin."
Zuo Jia leaned against the alloy wall outside the command cabin, grabbed the military cap, and kneaded, her thick lips almost pursed into a straight line, "It's really bad."
"why?"
Contrary to Zuo Jia, Austin swept away the anxiety of the past few days, and his handsome face rarely brought a relaxed smile.
"Anyway, Shang Ping and Rochette are coming back. Think about what those two guys look like. Maybe they will burst into tears the moment they set foot on the battleship."
"what…"
Zuo Jia couldn't help laughing. Shang Ping didn't talk about it for the time being. That kid from Rochette is full of tears? Imagine rubbing your arms involuntarily.
"I swear to Madoff White! I'd rather fly a fighter jet to fight the enemy than see Lochte with tears running down his nose!"
Zuo Jia's story fell, and instead of looking at Austin South's smile, he turned around and strode away.
However, it is impossible for Zuo Jia at this moment to know that in the years to come, he will have to pay the price for this unintentional remark. Of course, that will be a long time later.
In the command cabin, Colonel Edgar has ended a brief conversation with Commander Terry. Next, he must fully deal with the upcoming Golden Empire fleet. The picture on the screen switches to the temporarily detained Novi and his party. These "guests" of the alien galaxy have no sense of being captured. During the time they were detained, they seemed to be certain that they would eventually be released, especially these The commander of the people, he is not like a soldier, but more like a politician from aristocratic background. This made Edgar involuntarily have a feeling of disgust for Novi. From the beginning to the end, Colonel Edgar did not say a word to Novi in person, even though he learned that Novi's rank of marshal remained the same.
"Lord Colonel, you are too willful."
The new adjutant Derek had to point out some of the commander's shortcomings. This brave and skilled fleet commander, at some point, had an incomprehensible childishness.
"so what?"
Colonel Edgar wasn't offended by the adjutant's somewhat outrageous accusations, even though they were unfamiliar.
"Just because of his rank? Even if he's a marshal, that doesn't mean he won't be a waste..."
"Lord Colonel, you are prejudice."
"Just take it as a prejudice. My adjutant, instead of tangled with your superior, it's better to concentrate on your work. This report is to be sent back to the capital. Even if it is a dictatorship, there is freedom of speech. Yes, isn't it?"
When the words were over, Colonel Edgar turned around and waved his back to Adjutant Derek. The poor upright young man could only cry without tears at the document that should have been completed by Colonel Edgar.
Just as the Mars Space Fleet was orderly placing safety detection instruments around the Royce artificial celestial body, thousands of huge black warships were heading towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Soran Edrich did not come in person, and his presence in this fleet was inappropriate and unreasonable in every way. In place of Soran Edrich, Admiral Harlan Edrich, Lieutenant General Metz, and Admiral Ida stayed behind in the artificial celestial body. The secret report just came back from the capital of the Empire. It seems that Queen Yilan His Majesty is already impatient to play the virtuous and generous wife of Hainy III. Before the news of Hainy III's illness was announced, His Majesty's favorite lover, Grand Duchess Aifu and her brother, and the people surrounding the pair of brothers and sisters. The partisans have been secretly arrested with lightning speed. Although they will not be imprisoned immediately, at least, Her Majesty the Queen, who has swallowed her voice for a while, can finally show herself to the woman who challenges her authority without any scruples. The largest empire in the universe, the most powerful woman, what kind of iron fist and ruthless means.
Soran Edrich apparently thought his mother's impatience was a little weird, not the reckless behavior of the elegant woman who taught him how to behave in the royal family.
What exactly happened?
The first prince of the empire held his cheek with one hand, he couldn't let his mother go on like this, before he ascended the throne. Even if the result of the matter is unshakable, it does not mean that he can sit back and relax. At least, the nobles and troops loyal to Hainy III are not just those in the capital.
"Ida..."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soran Edrich showed his ambitious and ruthless side in front of Ida for the first time. With a voice like the collision of ice crystals, he issued several orders full of blood and killing to his loyal subordinates, while the young The admiral, did not show the slightest hesitation, as if the killing was about to start, it was just a sideshow after dinner.
Yes, after Harlan and Metz went to Royce to exchange prisoners and brought back Marshal Novi, Soran Edrich, the first prince of the Golden Empire, will lead his heartfelt subordinates and a huge fleet, Return to the capital of the Golden Empire!
He will go and take everything that should belong to him! The previous series of actions of His Majesty the Emperor were nothing but a comedy in the midfield. He will reach the pinnacle of power, but before that, all unsettled factors need to be eradicated.
Admiral Ida was the commander to go to a royal private galaxy territory belonging to Hainy III in the middle of the empire, where the private army of Hainy III was stationed. Every member of the royal family - a boy of the Edrich family, after birth , will be gifted to such a galaxy, where the people and the army belong entirely to them. When Hainy III seized the throne, he ignored the power of the previous emperor's subordinates, and was almost overturned by these powers in the hands of the previous emperor. Although the subsequent series of repressive measures were quite effective, they were eventually wiped out on the emperor's political achievements. An underwhelming stroke.
Soran Edrich would not allow himself to make such a mistake, so, from the very beginning, he would have to kill the bud.
Shang Ping and Rochette were brought on Harlan's flagship, perhaps because of their relationship with the Edrich royal family. On Harlan's flagship, Shang Ping could also feel the aura similar to Solan Edrich. He thought that perhaps it was Harlan's somewhat similar temperament with Solan that gave him this illusion, and he firmly denied that it was the time spent together that left the silver-haired prince indelible in his mind. shadow.
Of course, Shang Ping would never involve this inexplicable feeling into feelings like admiration. In two lifetimes, Shang Ping didn't think he would become a patient of Stockholm Syndrome foolishly.
However, he could not explain what this loss and panic in his heart represented.
Could it be because he did such a shameful thing as a prisoner?
Do not.
Shang Ping shook his head, if Uncle Edgar knew what he was thinking at the moment, he might point to his nose and laugh until his stomach hurts.
After the fleet entered the designated channel, Harlan Edrich ordered the fleet to advance in a dense formation, and Lieutenant General Metz's flagship turned around and landed at the end of the fleet. In this way, the huge fleet formed a shuttle like a particle bomb. The shape, Colonel Edgar saw the dense spot of light from the glowing screen, Rao was already mentally prepared, and could not help but take a deep breath.
Thinking of the tragic battle before, Hansen, Apollo...
Those colleagues who died in battle, seeing this group of huge black monsters again, Colonel Edgar clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.
Shang Ping and Rochette were allowed out of the detained cabin and brought to Harlan Edrich's command cabin. On the screen was Colonel Edgar's handsome face without the slightest smile. Behind his shoulders, they stood side by side. Austin and Zuo Jia. In addition, it is Novi and his party who are the protagonists of this exchange of prisoners.
Lochte couldn't restrain his slightly trembling shoulders. If Shang Ping hadn't clenched his hand firmly, the big boy might have whimpered.
Excited, hesitant, joyful, stunned, disappointed...
All kinds of emotions hit Shang Ping at the same time. He didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment, or he just kept his face expressionless until he went home...
Yes, go home!
Shang Ping finally couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. At this moment, even seeing those familiar faces on the screen gave Shang Ping a feeling similar to peace of mind. Even if he didn't really set foot on his own battleship, even if he didn't really hold Uncle Edgar's hand, Shang Ping would no longer have the previous anxiety and worry about gains and losses.
Regardless of cowardice or responsibility, even a steel warrior who has died a hundred lives on the battlefield cannot ask him to treat life as a child's play.
Shang Ping has never felt like this moment, it's good to be alive!
