I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 48

"No matter how you think about this mission, I think it will be very hard." Standing in the gravity sound shielding field, Lieutenant Colonel Edward, the chief staff officer of the Third Fleet, looked helplessly at the dark star field ahead. They had already entered Fisichella— ——The middle part of the Tisifer Corridor, this narrow and narrow passage, every time you pass it, it will give people a very uncomfortable feeling.Before the trip, his wife Wen Lisha had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, which made him extremely complain about this trip.

"I originally planned to let you stay in the imperial capital." Lin Mo stood aside. Although he couldn't empathize with Edward's mood at this time, he could understand it.

"How about it, this time is not a simple escort and exploration mission, I can't let you face it alone." Edward shrugged helplessly, watching Lin Mo smiling and looking at the electronic crystal screen.It has been more than ten years since they met. For him, even if human beings have spread all over the Milky Way, there is no second copy of this deep friendship.The same is true for Lin Mo.

"Report!" The communicator stood up, and Lin Mo canceled the gravity sound shielding field.

"what's up?"

"There is a distress signal from a ship ahead, the distance is 13 light seconds."

"Why do you ask for help?"

"I don't know, it's not very clear that the signal is affected by the energy fluctuations of the nearby stellar wind." The communications soldier tried his best to distinguish the intermittent signal from the headset, "Ah, I heard the term space pirate!"

"Cosmic pirates?" Lin Mo frowned. The airspace of the Sea of ​​Silence, because the planets in the Fisichella Starfield and Tisifer Starfield on both sides are generally barren, resulting in a sparse population of permanent residents, so this area There have never been space pirates.Moreover, they had never heard of such a thing during the turmoil in the Fisichella star field not long ago.

"Let Huestia lead five hundred warships to speed up to rescue. The fleet continues to sail at normal speed. Maintain communication with that ship."

"Yes!"

"Five hundred warships, isn't that too much?" Lieutenant Colonel Edward was a little speechless. Generally speaking, space pirates basically wouldn't send out all their staff to hijack a transport ship.With the strength of the Third Fleet, five hundred warships can almost resist the six or seven hundred warships of other fleets.

"It's better to be careful, as you said, it really makes people feel uncomfortable here." Lin Mo was silent for a while before answering.

The trip of the Third Fleet this time, on the surface, is for the exploration of the "Sea of ​​Silence" by the Ministry of Science and Technology in the early stage of exploration and post-escort work.However, no matter who they were in the military or political circles, they would not think that there would be such a simple reason for the trip of the Third Fleet.On this point, the Grand Duke obviously didn't bother to hide it. Although he still insisted that the Third Fleet was only going to carry out exploration missions, he didn't bother too much about all kinds of doubts.

And the real purpose of this trip is at the Tisifer Starfield at the end of the corridor. The lord of the Tisifer Starfield, Earl Debussy, has always sided with the Grand Duke in terms of political stance, but recently the intelligence system submitted a report , pointed out that Earl Debussy had some financial abnormalities in the recent period, although it was only a small abnormality, but due to the previous turmoil in the Fisichella star field, the Grand Duke believed that during this period of turbulent undercurrents, Debussy It is very necessary to thoroughly investigate the anomaly of Earl West.

The cause of the incident was very dramatic. A vicious entry robbery occurred on the sixth planet of the Aschet galaxy in the capital galaxy. It was a luxurious villa area with a small population. The sixth star guard team was investigating this During the burglary, it was found that there were nearly ten villas next to the villa where the incident occurred, all of which belonged to the young Baron Ans. Persons who go missing during a space voyage can be considered dead.The date of purchase of these villas is shown to be three years ago.The security team was surprised by this, so they reported the matter to the inspection team, which belongs to the army directly under the Grand Duke.After a series of investigations, it was discovered that Baron Aners was actually the son of Earl Debussy's sister, and the family of Earl Debussy's sister had passed away ten years ago. In other words, this large inheritance The immediate heir is the Earl of Debussy.This large piece of heritage includes thirteen mansions covering an area of ​​nearly sixty hectares, as well as three large energy mines on the sixth planet.

It is doubtful that a nobleman who has always been low-key still hides such a large amount of property.

But where should one start with such a thing?

"Report! Commander Huestia sent back a message."

The communication soldier's words interrupted Lin Mo's train of thought, and he nodded, "Connect to Huestia." In an instant, the figure of the squadron commander Huestia appeared on the electronic crystal screen ahead.

"Commander! When I led the fleet to arrive, sixty pirate ships surrounded a civilian fleet. So far, the pirates have been eliminated, and the escaped pirate ships have not been pursued by my subordinates. Please show me, Commander."

"Very good, the number of sixty ships is not too much, there is no need to pursue them, you have done a good job." Lin Mo nodded, Huestia is a squadron commander who was promoted only in recent years, and he was promoted to lieutenant colonel , is a rare military officer calm.

"Also, a lady asked if she could talk to the commander." On the screen, Huestia's face was a bit embarrassed.

"Ma'am?" Lin Mo frowned unsurprisingly, which caused a drop of cold sweat to flow across Huestia's forehead. Edward, who was standing beside Lin Mo, laughed, "Huestia, you know that the commander There must be some reason why the officer doesn’t like this.” While talking, Edward walked up to Lin Mo and said in a low voice, “Major General Lin Mo’s limelight has spread to such a distant galaxy, but you The reputation that women are never approached by creatures has spread throughout the imperial capital. Don't let the people here know about this eccentricity, otherwise you may really be lonely for the rest of your life. Besides, since Huestia said so, there must be something The reason, let’s take a look.”

Lin Mo glanced at Edward who seemed to be a little excited at last, and then nodded at Huestia, "Take the picture over."

The picture changed instantly, and the person appearing on the electronic crystal screen became a woman. She looked like she was in her early twenties, with beautiful long honey-colored hair hanging down her shoulders, and a pair of emerald green eyes on her fair face. Looking around like autumn waves, the pale pink lips are slightly curved at this time, with an innate elegance.She is absolutely beautiful.

Edward raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Mo. The latter remained indifferent, and even remained silent, as if waiting for the other party to speak.

"Ma'am, this is Rear Admiral Lin Mo, the commander of the Third Fleet. I am Lieutenant Colonel Edward. You insist on talking to the commander. What can I do?" Looking at the picture, the woman bit her nervously. Lips, and Lin Mo beside him still had a cold face, Edward sighed in his heart, and opened his mouth helplessly.

The woman smiled, as if she was happy, the whole picture seemed to be much brighter, she first nodded gratefully at Edward, and then looked at Lin Mo again, "Your Excellency, my name is Ai Liwende von Debussy. I am very grateful to you for sending the fleet to rescue in time. Not only me, but all the people who made it to this fleet are very grateful to you, and this child." While talking, the woman bent down He picked up a little boy, who looked only five or six years old, and had a wound on his forehead, which had already been treated and was covered with a layer of gauze.The child didn't seem cowardly, even though he was injured, he still widened his eyes needlessly, and thanked Lin Mo emphatically with his immature imperial capital.

Looking at the child's face, Lin Mo finally no longer looked frosty, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded. "As an imperial soldier, it is my duty to protect the people. Instead of thanking me, I think you should thank Lieutenant Colonel Huestia for leading the fleet to protect you." The woman's surname also made He was a little surprised.It seems that she is a relative of Earl Debussy, the lord of Tisifer Starfield.

"Yes!" The woman named Ellie Winder seemed to relax a lot at this time, and the faint smile on Lin Mo's face made her blush a little shyly. She put the child down, as if she had made a decision : "It's a bit abrupt to say this, but, Commander, may I invite you to the mansion when we pass Tisifah, I think my father would like to thank you personally. Of course, this is also my brother and I. Wish. If you don’t mind, I hope you can stay for a few more days, Tisifer is a beautiful planet.”

"It turned out to be the Countess of Debussy." Lin Mo nodded, the expression on his face has returned to the usual indifference, "We will indeed be stationed in the Tisifer star field for a period of time, but Tisifer star does not have a ship port, and the fleet How can I, as a commander, enjoy the comforts of being alone in a comfortable environment while the soldiers are on the ship, only outside the atmosphere of the planet. Especially when the fleet is on mission."

"Is that so? I'm really sorry for my abruptness." Ellie Wind showed obvious disappointment and embarrassment after being rejected.

"Your Excellency, I think we can accept Miss Debussy's proposal." Edward said, ignoring Lin Mo's frown, and said frankly, "The fleet has been sailing for nearly four weeks, and the soldiers have some Exhausted, Tisifer star field is on the edge of the "Sea of ​​Silence". We were also looking for a base, and the No. 7789 supply base is also not far from Tisifer star. I think that a short stay on Tisifer star will let the soldiers It is necessary to take a break." As a close friend of Lin Mo, Edward knows this person too well, and this is obviously a good time to enter Tisifah, but Lin Mo will definitely not act on the gratitude and trust of others.Although it was despicable to do so, if Earl Debussy was really innocent, Edward would definitely apologize to the lady afterwards.

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Edward for nearly half a minute. For a while, the atmosphere on the bridge of the Third Fleet flagship Parsifal was a little silent.

After a while, Lin Mo nodded, then turned to look at Ellie Winder, "Then I will excuse you."

Watching the picture disappear on the electronic crystal screen, Edward turned on the gravity sound shielding field and turned to Lin Mo: "Even if you want to punish me this time, I will do it. This is the easiest way. Some things are not because you have maintained integrity. Isn’t that assassination the best proof? When you were far away from Capital Star, the Minister of Military Affairs might attack your family. Thinking of this, you can still maintain your integrity. Is it upright?"

Lin Mo lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, his eyes were still calm and self-sufficient, "Edward, you are right. At this moment, I should not hesitate. I ordered the entire fleet to go to the Tissifer star field and stop above the atmosphere to stand by!"

So, after successfully passing through the Fisichella-Tisifer Corridor, the Third Fleet of the Empire stopped outside the atmosphere of Tissifer. At this time, it had been four weeks since they left the Capital Star.
