Predatory map of ominous birds

Lieutenant General Barr von Oberstein knelt on one knee in the office of Reinhardt, Marquis of Rohenkram, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Are you asking me to shoot you for the crime of interfering without authorization to save the nuclear bomb attack?" Reinhardt, who was at the top, looked at the chief of staff with prosthetic eyes in disgust.

"This is so stupid! Could it be that Qing's mind is completely confused? If I do this! Doesn't it clearly show that I have no control over my subordinates! Let my subordinates take the blame! You must calm down! Order! Release Aubey Lieutenant General Stan's position as chief of staff, let him go home and reflect!" The blond lion growled in a low voice.

Gilfies was on his way to Vulture City to join Reinhardt's main force. On the way, he saw an image that made him rage--Duke Blanchebeck's nuclear bomb attack on the planet Weistat, but Not long after, another image froze his heart again——Count Fafnir's sneer at the previous image...

Gilfies is a very keen young man, and he came to a conclusion almost without any further thinking, a conclusion that made him fall into an ice cave... He locked himself in the command room without going out, Stayed for a whole day.When the two deputy commanders came to see him, Gilfies walked out of the room with a sad and determined expression on his face, "I'm going to see Lord Reinhardt directly!"

If there is a sacred agreement in everyone's heart, then for Siegfried Gilfies, it was a sentence that a beautiful girl with blond hair said to him with a hazy smile 11 years ago Words: "Zig, be good friends with my brother!"

When 15-year-old Anne Rodger made such a request, the red-haired teenager felt so proud!This healthy young man almost never fails to fall asleep at night, but this day in the middle of the night, he tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't close his eyes, because he had one thing in mind - vowed to be the eternal companion of the siblings. Faithful knight - just for that beautiful blond girl...

"Gilfies! Thank you for your hard work!"

When we met again, Reinhard said with a bright smile.Although Gilfies cannot be said to have returned in complete victory, he managed to hold back the rebellion of the border nobles, killed the Marquis of Lidenheim, and "destroyed" one-third of the military strength of the noble coalition army. What's more -- no one was allowed to disturb Reinhardt's battle against the main force of the Duke of Blanchebeck.

"Tired? Come! Sit down first! Do you want a drink or coffee? It would be great if there is an apple tart made by my sister! However, you can't ask for too much when you are on the front line. You can only enjoy it after you go back!" While Gilphiaes thanked him for his kindness, he couldn't wait to confirm the authenticity of one thing—it doesn't matter whether it's true or false, but Gilfais wanted to hear Reinhardt's explanation...

"what's up?"

"It's about the massacre of two million residents of Weystat."

"...What happened to this matter?"

A gloomy look flashed across Reinhardt's beautiful face, Gilfies saw it, and felt a chill in his heart.

"Some people say that although His Excellency Reinhardt knew the content of this plan, he ignored it for political reasons and refused to save it."

"..." "Is this true?"

"……Yes!"

Reinhard admitted despite feeling very upset.From the past to the present, he has never told a lie to Anne Roger and Gilphia Ace.

Gilfies' expression was quite serious, even stern, and it seemed that he wasn't just asking casually.He let out a long breath.

"I have always believed that the hegemony that Lord Reinhardt is pursuing is the justice that the current Galactic Empire-Goldenbaum dynasty does not have!"

Reinhardt didn't say a word, he felt wronged, maybe the one-to-one reciprocal relationship itself is not good.

Back to the days of boyhood.Reinhardt really hoped to maintain this relationship, but at this moment, Reinhardt hoped that the relationship between the two could become superior and subordinate, and he could send his subordinates away with just a shout.The reason why Reinhardt felt this way was because he felt deeply guilty about the brutal killing of the residents of Westert.

"The demise of the powerful and nobles is the inevitable result of historical evolution. To settle the old accounts of the past 500 years will inevitably cause bloody tragedies, but we must not allow innocent people to become victims. The new system must be based on the liberated people. As the main body, the foundation of the country can be stable. Sacrificing these people is tantamount to digging one's own grave!"

"I understand what you mean!"

Reinhardt drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, glared at the red-haired friend with extreme displeasure, trying to stop him from speaking.But Gilfies still had something to say.

"Lord Reinhardt!"

The red-haired young man had a sad face, and there was a slight anger and pleading in his voice! "Assuming that these people are the group of powerful and noble people, under the equal power struggle, they can do everything they can without feeling ashamed. However, if you treat innocent people as victims and have blood on your hands, no matter how beautiful you make up Even if you try to cover it up with words, this stain still cannot be washed away, Master Reinhardt! Why do people like you put yourself in a place of injustice for the sake of temporary interests?"

The blond young man suddenly turned pale.In the face of justice and axioms, he had to admit that he had failed!As a result, while feeling ashamed, this cognition became a disordered thought, which in turn produced a strong rebound.

He glared at his red-haired friend viciously, like a child who is trying to resist.

"Enough of your preaching!"

Reinhard roared, and in an instant, he realized the shame of his behavior. He wanted to get rid of this feeling, but instead became more agitated and angry uncontrollably.

"First of all, Gilfies! Have I consulted you about this matter?"

"..."

"I'm asking you! Have I asked your opinion?"

"...No, you didn't ask me."

"That's it! When I ask you in the future, if you express your opinion again, it will be fine? This matter is over! Don't mention it again!"

"However, Lord Reinhardt! The nobles did what they shouldn't do, and Lord Reinhardt did what they should have done but didn't. Which of the two is more serious?"

"Gilfies!"

"Yes!"

"Who are you to me? What right do you have to say these things to me!"

The wine glass was placed heavily on the table, his livid face and fiery eyes were full of Reinhardt's anger!It also deeply hurt the red-haired friend, Gilfies' eyes dimmed, but in order to make the other party wake up, he must also let the other party understand his anger.Since Reinhardt asked this question, Gilfies must also insist, and he replied in a low voice: "I am your loyal subordinate! Marquis Royankram!"

Such a question and an answer made the two realize at the same time that the invisible but incomparably precious friendship between each other has quietly opened a crack! "Since you know this, that's enough!"

Reinhard said pretending to be relaxed.

"I have prepared a room for you. Before you receive the order, you should rest well!"

After saluting silently, Gilfies exited Reinhardt's room, turning around with endless sadness and disappointment on his face...

In the City of the Condors, the Duke of Blanchebec is in the deepest of troubles.Whether it is popular support, morale, or even the most important internal views of the nobles, they have all dropped to the lower limit.The only thing worthy of praise is that the Westat massacre successfully dragged the moral standard of the blond boy on the opposite side to the same level as them... But what's the point?Although the morale of the blond boy's subordinates has plummeted just like the soldiers', at least the commander can still execute orders, and under the obvious military advantage, there are still some people who can exert their combat effectiveness for future prosperity and wealth.

In fact, the situation is a little more optimistic than they expected. Apart from some of Reinhardt's subordinates, some senior military officers such as Mittermeier also clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with the Marquis of Rohenkram. Right now——just because there is no other way to go, so I can still obey the order...

For the same reason, because Reinhardt actually has only one way to go, there are also commanders such as Biedenfeldt and Reuenthal who have high morale-finally there is no need to think about other superfluous things..." Your Excellency the Marshal has only one way! Supreme power!" This is the speech of the leader of the Black Lancers.

The populace of the Empire showed the deepest indifference towards both sides of the civil war.

Finally, the passionate fools could not help but prepare for their own destruction, and the people who prompted Blanche Baker to make up his mind to attack recklessly were the radical young nobles headed by Baron Felger.However, the United Noble Army did not go all out.Because although Merkaz kept silent, one of the generals was quite important - Lieutenant General Fahrenheit categorically refused to lead his troops into battle.

"We should make good use of the superior conditions of the fortress, turn the war into a long-term war of attrition, wait for the situation to change, and look forward to the reinforcements of Marshal Fafnir! What's the point of rushing out now? It's just accelerating the failure!" He said firmly, with anger and contempt slightly in his water-colored pupils.Not only that, Fahrenheit also vented all his previous dissatisfaction.

"From the very beginning, the relationship between the duke and the subordinates has been comrades and allies, not a master-slave relationship. Although their identities are different, they are both courtiers of the Galactic Empire, and their purpose is to fight against the domineering Marquis of Royankram and protect the high-ranking officials. Denbam Dynasty! We should take this goal as the premise and unite as one. As a military expert, I would like to advise you that attacking now will only make the situation worse. Duke of Blanchebeck, please think again! "

Fahrenheit's speech was full of excitement!The Duke of Blanchebec turned blue with rage!If he heard someone dare to speak such wild words in front of him before, he would never let it go!When he lost his temper, he would often grab the wine bottle or glass on the table and throw it at his followers.The tragedy that took place on the planet Westat is an extension of this behavior.

But only recently has he experienced the growing dissension of the people, which has made him lose confidence in winning a comprehensive victory.The Duke suppressed his anger, sighed heavily, as if trying to hide his timidity, and only said, "We don't need cowards!" Finally, ignoring Farenheit's objections, he ordered an attack.

When Merkaz and his adjutant Schneider went out to attack with the brigade of the Duke of Blanchebeck, Fahrenheit chased up from behind and shouted: "Commander Merkaz, please wait a moment!"

Merkaz stopped.

"Commander Merkaz, you know that the Duke is seeking his own death, so why don't you stop his foolishness and accompany him to die? And we still have Marshal Fafnir's troops on the periphery! Just need Just wait!"

Merkaz shook his head, and said calmly: "The overall situation has been decided, and it will be useless to stop it at this time. Lieutenant General Farenheit, you are still young and have a bright future. It is a pity to die here. After the first defeat, if you have a chance, you might as well seek out our old friend Marshal Fafnir, or you can submit to the Marquis of Royankram and serve for the New Galactic Empire. With his size, he will definitely forgive you .”

"Commander...but you yourself..." "I am old and tired of war. The Goldbaum Dynasty has perished, and a veteran like me has lost the value of existence. As a soldier, I only hope to be able to fight in the war." There is a break on the battlefield... Alright! Lieutenant General, we will say goodbye here, we may not see you again in the future, you have to take care!" Merkaz said, then turned around and drifted away like this *Farren Height stood on the ground , didn't say anything, just saluted Merkaz's back respectfully.

After a round of fierce bombardment, the Allied Noble Army that launched the attack lined up the bows of the ships and turned to rush forward, showing their determination to put all their eggs in one basket.

Facing the enemy's situation, Reinhardt lined up the gunboats equipped with large-caliber light cannons with large firepower to form three rows, and fired continuous artillery fire, covering the enemy fleet in a hail of bullets.

The fighting will of the noble coalition army is not low.Every time you take damage, retreat to reorganize the fleet and launch wave after wave of offensives.Although he has been defeated repeatedly and is completely beaten, his fighting spirit is admirable.

"There are signs of Wap 6 light seconds behind the city of Vulture! It's a large fleet! It is estimated that the number is more than [-]!" The news was transmitted at high speed in the communication channels of the two warring parties.

"Fafnir! Rundstadt! Staufen! They are coming!" This is the judgment issued by the commanders of both sides at the same time!

"Gilfies! Hurry up! The high-speed warships attack! We must defeat the noble coalition army before that rogue fleet arrives!"

"Work harder! The Earl of Fafnir is here! The dragon has arrived on the battlefield! Try to defend!" Even the hot-blooded young nobleman still has a somewhat normal tactical mind.

Gilfies' assault was blocked by the coalition of nobles who were cornered and desperate.The crazy young nobles even used the fighting method of colliding and dying together to block Gilfies' high-speed assault.Fortunately, the Reinhardt Army on the outskirts still has a normal bombardment front. Mittermeier, Reuenthal, Biedenfeld, Mecklinger and others neatly fired rounds of artillery fire, constantly defending the nobles. Army to lose weight.At this moment, the fleet of Murat, Kemp, and Lutz stood out and began to form in front of the fleet commanded by Fafnir, preparing to block the attack of the Marshal.

"It's really courting death! How could the blond boy command like this? We are still separated from them by the noble army, why rush to stand out and fight with us?" Fafnir said, handsome but full of ferocity On his face, his upper lip was slightly twisted, exposing one side of his canine teeth, forming a murderous smile.

"Communication in clear code! Let the noble army open fire on the protruding enemy! Then we press up! This golden retriever just likes to divide the troops! Then divide it!"

The battle situation became even more chaotic. The noble army was larger in number than the Reinhardt army. Although the command and morale were chaotic, as long as a small group of guys obeyed the order and opened fire on the three fleets standing out for defense—— No, even if no one opened fire, Murat and the others had to slow down and focus on the nearby noble army.

Fafnir ordered the fleet to line up in a wall-shaped bombardment array, and the light beams that divided the universe into hundreds of thousands of small spaces penetrated millions of kilometers into the Reinhardt army's array—while completely ignoring the The combined nobles on the bombardment track...

Round after round of salvos, the noble army disappeared like dew in the sun, and so did the Reinhardt army...

"The Lutz fleet was destroyed! Admiral Lutz was injured! The Murat fleet suffered huge losses! The Kemp fleet was forced to retreat!" Bad news kept fermenting in the Reinhardt fleet.

At this time, the noble coalition army has fallen into the stage of rout, the brave nobles have already died in battle, and the rest of them have no courage and start to flee.

The Fafnir fleet bypassed the City of the Condors, but some warships approached the fortress directly.

Lieutenant Admiral Dick von Carr was playing cards on a supply ship that was rebuilt later. This supply ship "Atlantic City" was privately converted into a huge gambling and flower boat by Carl using his authority... Even Fafni Er also sneaked into this ship from time to time to gamble and prostitute, not to mention the rest of the senior officers.

Carl was drawing a good hand when the order came. "You bastards! I have a good hand of cards! When I come back, I will blow you away!" Carl swears and put the cards in his hand on the table, "Come back and continue!"

He took the assault landing ship and rushed directly to the City of Condors, and the huge "Rocky" on the other side also turned around and pressed towards the fortress.

Brigadier General Ansenbach was demoted to the defense commander of the fortress because of the Duke's nuclear attack. He looked at the approaching Fafnir fleet and suddenly woke up! "shooting!"

"Shoot who? Commodore General?"

"Attack on the Fafnir fleet! They want to take the fortress! Damn it! Quick!"

However, due to the hesitation of his subordinates, the best shooting moment has passed, and the main gun of the fortress is facing the Reinhardt army on guard at this moment, and it is too late to rotate and aim at Fafnir.Therefore, only a large number of aimless fires were fired at the secondary artillery of the Fafnir army-so the results were very few.

But the goddess of luck finally took care of Commodore Ansenbach once, and a shot hit a landing assault ship...

"Report! Lieutenant General Karl's landing ship was hit!"

"Damn it! What happened to Karl?"

"Unfortunately, Marshal! The surviving personnel on the landing ship reported that Lieutenant General Karl died in battle..."

"..." Fafnir's face twisted all of a sudden, and almost at the same time, the reporting subordinate was forced to take a step back by the visible flame. "Get out my armor suit!"

A shot from the Rocky opened the passage, and Fafnir set foot on the Vulture City in a landing craft...

The wailing of death enveloped the entire fortress. In front of the soldiers wearing skull masks, the soldiers stationed in the fortress who dared to resist were killed, and the one walking in the front was simply a monster...

Half an hour later, Ansenbach's head was crushed by a foot wearing an armor suit...

On the battlefield at this time, the noble army had already been defeated, and the Reinhardt army pressed forward every step of the way. They cleverly used the noble army to block the firing range of the Fafnir fleet and the main guns of Condor City.

As the thick beams of the Vulture City's main guns slashed across the void, a large number of noble warships and the approaching Reinhardt warships turned into dust in the universe...

"Indiscriminate attack! Whoever he is!" Fafnir's cold voice sounded in the main control room.

Reinhardt's army retreated, and Fafnir did not shoot again at the defeated army of the combined nobles.

"There is still a little work to be done! Dior! Work quickly! Shutke Haojian! Order Ron Dested and Staufen to disarm the noble army immediately! Gustav, come with me after giving the order , we have a little gift for the duke..."

Dio Storm commanded dozens of huge transport ships to approach the outer shell of Vulture City, and ordered several times the number of work ships to start unloading the contents of the transport ships from the outer shell and start working. "Quick! Quick! It must be done within twelve hours! Otherwise, they will all be shot!"

The Reinhardt Army withdrew from the galaxy where Condor City was located and began to reorganize, and their losses were not large.The Lutz Fleet and the Camp Fleet were originally supplementary fleets that were dissatisfied with the establishment, and the Murat Fleet was not a full fleet. The combined loss of the three fleets was only about 2 ships, and the warships mainly fought against the Imperial Noble Army. The loss of the fleet was also very small. The Gilfies fleet lost about [-] high-speed warships, but they destroyed as many as [-] enemy troops. The noble army in Vulture City was less than [-], but quite a few big nobles fled back.

Two days later, the reorganized Reinhardt Army once again approached the fortress of Vulture City.

"The fortress is gone?!"

The fortress of Vulture City disappeared...but several battleships of the noble army stood alone on the battlefield-including the flagship Berlin of the Duke of Blanchebeck.

"This... this is the head of the Duke of Blanchebeck! And..." About 1 people's heads were piled up on the Berlin, the heads of the Duke of Blanchebeck, the nobles of the faction closest to him and their guards... …

"Draken...Draken!"
