Him and their stars

There was silence for several seconds. Major General Watt Rall still narrated in a calm tone: "He organized a second line of defense at the No. 4 headquarters in Area D, but the target was discovered by the Imperial Army and was subjected to targeted shelling and siege. In When the members of the organization headquarters retreated and broke through, they were sniped by the enemy from a long distance. It should be the work of a psyker. This is what his guard company commander told me."

Probably because the chief of staff's tone was so calm, Long Yuan thought for a moment that he was hearing an illusion. After a few seconds, when he was sure of what he heard, his mind went blank for a moment, and his thoughts were filled with sadness.

He couldn't help but think of the time when he had just arrived at the Circle of Miracles and took office. Commander Saiyo patted him on the shoulder, his smile full of hope and expectation, and even seemed a little honest. As a result, that face that looked rather gangster-like suddenly looked kind and kind, easily reminding Long Yuan of Coach Haskins of the Tianjin Football Team when he was in elementary school.

...If I hadn't discovered my spiritual talent and been accepted as a disciple by the Spiritual Research Society, I would have definitely become an excellent Sky Ball player under the guidance of Coach Haskins.

As for Major General Mallowan, he seemed to have expected this bad news, so he just lowered his eyelids sadly and sighed faintly: "Really? Is Singer dead? He died while advancing, which is in line with his style."

Chief of Staff Lal nodded.

Major General Mallowan said: "But, after all, I still didn't have time to see the movie I participated in!"

Long Yuan felt his nose was a little sore. He still remembered that Commander Saiyo told everyone that "Cold Hill", which he starred in in particular, was the youngest Yagemi best director in history, but he had never seen it. How can this be tolerated? He must live to see "Cold Hill."

Major General Watt Rall smiled: "Actually, he has already seen it. It was the original film that I copied from the opposite empire last month when I was exchanging supplies with them. It is a very complete high-definition version, even There’s no shortage of tidbits.”

Mr. Chief of Staff is still exchanging supplies with the empire? last month? It's already been half a year since we started the war, right? Long Yuan said that since he arrived at the base here, he has encountered many shocking situations, but this time was the most shocking one.

Major General Lal probably saw the psyker's reaction, so he explained with a smile: "After all, I served as a military attache at the embassy in Tianyu. It's hard to say whether I have any merit, but I still made a lot of friends. In fact, even among the Imperial Army, not everyone agrees with this war."

Major General Mallowan solemnly advised: "...You'd better not have any plans to rebel against them. No matter how preferential treatment the empire treats humans, anyone who causes trouble within its army will be punished as espionage. What's more, you used to He is also the chief military attache stationed in the Sky Territory.”

As we all know, every outstanding military attaché is a qualified spymaster. This is already common knowledge in the diplomatic community.

"Yes, I have a criminal record." Chief of Staff Walter Rall showed a self-deprecating smile. His smile still maintained the dignity and elegance of a diplomat, but it seemed to have some determination:

"Azisha, I will order the entire army to stop resisting in an hour."

Major General Mallowan lowered his eyelids, and his slumped shoulders trembled for a moment, but he still said: "...Okay, enough blood has been left. There is no need to decorate a meaningless battle with priceless lives. It is whitewashed into a tragic story, even if Commander Yang is here, he will give this order. Compared with the main force of the expedition fleet that perished, we are worthy of anyone."

"Yes, we are worthy of anyone...but the only ones we are sorry for are those of you who continue to fight." Major General Watt Rall whispered.

Major General Azisha Mallowan sneered: "Oh, are you expelling me from your 'rank' now? There is a point in saying such beautiful words. Who said I am an archaeologist?"

"There is no way. I have also watched "The Treasure Hunt". Archaeologists are very tenacious, even more tenacious than a dreadnought."

"I thought they really expected me to discover the secret of this miraculous ring."

"If you can really explore it, it will be a surprise. If you find the mechanism that makes this miracle ring explode, how about pressing it?"

"...I didn't know you, a diplomat, had such an unstable side!"

"It is precisely because I was born as a diplomat and have followed the same steps all my life that I occasionally want to go crazy."

The two of them laughed wildly at the same time across the communication terminal, until one of them was laughing so hard that he was about to shed tears, and then they slowly stopped. Afterwards, Major General Watt Rall took the initiative to salute Long Yuan, who had been silent, and then quietly went offline.

For some reason, Long Yuan suddenly felt that it might be the last time he saw this generous and elegant chief of staff.

However, the two of them had no time to feel sad. Less than half a minute after the communication was completed, a bronze-skinned and stout colonel appeared at the door of the office.

Long Yuan recognized that this was Colonel Nani, who, like himself, was also a third-ring psyker. The difference is that he is more than ten years older than him and has served in the military for almost twenty years. He is an experienced professional soldier and one of the first members of the Blue Guard.

Colonel Nani was also his uncle's "old subordinate". When he saw that he was there, he nodded and said hello, and then said: "Sir Mallowan, the car is ready."

"Where are the rest of the teams?"

“2队、3队和4队已经出发。5队和6队会在您离开后的二十分钟之后再动身。下官带领的7队和8队，是负责断后的。如果一切顺利的话，可以在凌晨的时候启程。”

"Very good. I am really relieved that you are doing the job." Major General Mallowan paused and then said: "If the enemy comes too quickly, you can surrender at the critical moment. Don't forget, your wife is pregnant. ."

Colonel Nani gave a thumbs up grin and smiled like a veteran, optimistic and knowing his fate: "Yes, yes, my wife is still in Xinyumen. She is fifteen years younger than me, or As a top student in medical school, I don’t dare expect such a bitch to leave me a widow, but I have to survive.”

He said goodbye to Major General Mallowan and Colonel Yongyuan, left, and left the base with his men.

The latter did not stay any longer and decisively met with his team. This is a team of more than 200 strong personnel, including explorers, pioneers, combatants, various technicians and doctors. Rather than a combat guerrilla force, it is indeed more like a capable pioneering team and archaeological team.

When entering the passage at the back entrance of the base, Major General Mallowan said to everyone: "Finally, I want to ask everyone, our days in the future will be much more difficult than in prisoner of war camps or even slave labor camps. If you want to regret it now, it is still too late. of."

No one spoke. The people present are all volunteers, and they are all carefully selected from the army of 100,000. They are the best in terms of technology, physical strength and will.

"Very good. If you want to quit again, I will treat him as a traitor. Please be mentally prepared. Whether you are embarking on the path of glory or collapsing into the abyss, I hope that everyone will not fall behind."

After arriving at midnight on November 833, 11 CE, Chief of Staff Watt Lahr's ceasefire order was finally issued to the entire army. In the official military report, this "land battle" that took place inside the Miracle Ring came to an end.

Of course, even after this, there are still a small number of combat units in the community that continue to resist, ready to fight to the end. As a result, the battle that took place in this valley lasted until six o'clock in the morning, when it finally came to an end.

This was also the largest land battle that took place between the two sides after the battlefield began.

After more than forty-eight hours of fierce fighting, the Empire finally began to announce to the universe that they had taken control of the Circle of Miracles and the greatest creation of the Enlightenment in history. However, there was no joy on the face of General Orosa, who was the commander of the entire army: "Don't get carried away, we have just eliminated the main force of the earth on the Miracle Ring. We have concentrated six times the enemy's force, and concentrated More powerful cannons, tanks, more advanced robots, and more astral knights, but the number of casualties still exceeds 50,000. Is this a victory? Gentlemen, is this any meritorious feat worth bragging about?"

Senior military officers from all walks of life were scolded so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads. Some people think that of the 50,000 people who died in battle, half were from the "Imperial Association Army", and there were also a considerable number of cannon fodder slaves and dead soldiers. The armored grenadiers and stormtroopers who truly belonged to the Central Forbidden Army system, that is, About 10,000 people.

As we all know, cannon fodder and the Imperial Army are not considered human beings. From this perspective, doesn’t the exchange ratio look great?

Of course, even if they thought so in their hearts, they also knew that once they said this out loud, they might be shot on the spot by General Orosha.

Admiral Orosha said: "Also, is there any trace of the commander of the Community Blue Guard, Major General Azisha Mallowan?"

"Not yet... we still can't be sure of her traces, or even whether she is still alive. After we broke through the enemy's mountain pass defense line, we conducted more than ten rounds of bombings on all possible places where the enemy's headquarters might be. Maybe she Already killed by artillery fire." As soon as the adjutant finished reporting this, he felt that his words were really stupid.

Major General Azisha Mallowan was not known for her bravery, but she was a fifth-ring psyker.

A staff officer carefully considered his tone and reported: "Officer Xing Jian is doing some calculations."

"No need to calculate, I am also a psyker. I know what this kind of high-level psyker should be like after death. Even if she is blown to pieces, she will definitely have a reaction of losing control of her psionic energy, and she will definitely Leave the zero element behind." General Orosha said angrily: "I can be sure that the community's army still has guerrillas that have been broken into pieces to resist, and she must still be the leader."

"There is also the disciple from the Spirit Research Society, whose nickname is 'Long Yuan'." said the chief of staff.

"Oh, the one with a typical Tiruiro face?" Admiral Orosa asked curiously.

Among the masters of the Earthlings on the opposite side is a Tiruiro. This is of course no secret among the senior officials of the Imperial Army.

"Yes, his real name is actually Rayon Magrees."

"One of the branches of the Magathon family?"

This is one of the few ducal families in the Galactic Empire that continues to this day.

The chief of staff nodded: "In the era when the empire dominated the earth, the youngest son of the contemporary Duke Magathon went to the Earth Governor's Mansion to serve as the secretary-general, and the Magres family came into being. During Victoria Lee's rebellion, they Joined the rebel side and then stayed on Earth.”

What a spirited noble boy! Admiral Orosha actually wanted to laugh. He is also an ordinary citizen's son who came up through military service, and he still has a bad taste in watching the appearance of big nobles.

"What did Duke Magathon say? What did the Heraldry Academy say?" Admiral Orosha asked with interest.

"Of course it means that personal behavior does not represent value. Moreover, as early as fifty years ago, they had already expelled the Magres family from the genealogy."

"Well, this is indeed the behavior of a thousand-year-old famous family. However, this is not the point. The point is that a Tirello person who is left on the earth, born on the earth, and grew up on the earth is not a compatriot, but an earthling. He is still a disciple of the Spiritual Research Society, so he must not be underestimated and must hit hard! He, and Major General Azisha Mallowan, everyone, when will I hear that they have been killed or arrested? News?" General Orosa asked.

The generals all felt very stressed. They all knew that General Orosha wanted to force them to issue a military order. But none of the senior officers present had this idea in mind.

Just when the low air pressure at the scene had gradually solidified into a mountain that made people unable to breathe, what really came to everyone's rescue was a call from the Vulcan Airan.

Marshal Farrell, who has always been known for his harshness and coldness, who did not even blink when he shot the general, actually showed amazing kindness and generosity this time.

He called and said that he had held a banquet on the Vulcan Airan to celebrate everyone.

The generals said long live Marshal Farrell. In this way, it will be difficult for Admiral Orosha to continue to play bad guy.

Later, Marshal Farrell also consoled himself alone: ​​"The casualty rate is something that needs to be considered during the battle. Now that the battle is over and we have achieved the expected strategic goals, it can be regarded as a victory, so why can't we celebrate? What? Old man, you still have to let yourself go."

Of course, this is equivalent to letting his subordinates go. These senior officers of the Stormtroopers and Panzergrenadiers had indeed done their best in previous battles. What's more, there are still many Imperial Alliance Army systems that have suffered a lot of casualties.

Even if they are as strict as the Imperial Army, they still have to be relaxed and relaxed.

Admiral Orosha certainly understood what the Marshal meant, and of course he agreed with the Marshal's views. However, he couldn't let go and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, after all, this official is a perfectionist with a mysophobia."

"You can directly say that you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it actually means the same thing. It is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net in the army of one hundred thousand. The key lies in whether they can cause structural and subversive effects on our subsequent stability. Even a strategic strike." Marshal Farrell said.

"According to the confessions of prisoners of war, the number of Earth guerrillas who broke out should be more than 2,000. They are all elites and were divided into eight groups to break out separately. The strength of these people may not pose a fundamental threat to us, but because of this , I feel like I can’t just let things go. As long as they are still resisting, they will still be the totems of the people on earth.”

"The unyielding totem can always exist, but the smart way is not to destroy it, but to make it invisible to everyone. However, this is what the Prime Minister's Office has to worry about, not what we should pay attention to. Orosa, Relax and go back to the ship to have a drink with me. After all, you have lived up to His Highness Brunhilt’s expectations. You should be ready to carry out your next step."

"I am ashamed..." General Orosha was indeed a little ashamed, but he was also extremely moved.

After fighting this battle, he can return to the Heavenly Realm and serve as one of the chief guards of the Imperial City. This was the promise made by his benefactor, King Brunhilt of Sulyuka.

"In addition, please invite the Earthling Major General Watt Rall. He also had some friendship with me when he served as the chief military attache at the Tianyu embassy. In my impression, he was an elegant and gentle gentleman. Should be treated decently.”

"Understood. In addition, the body of Lieutenant General Singh Saijo has been collected and will be buried at the mouth of the valley according to the general's etiquette. We will also build a cemetery there to bury all those who died in this battle. Earthling warrior." Admiral Orosa nodded.

In this aspect, the Imperial Army is actually more particular than the Alliance. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for international public opinion to get a handle on it.

"One more thing... forget it."

Of course, Admiral Orosha saw the flash of uneasiness on Admiral Farrell's face, and asked directly: "Is it possible that there are new changes in Yaochi?"
