Him and their stars

The elected emperor of the Holy Galactic Empire, the minister of the Privy Council, and the governor of the Dawn Star Territory in the New World, Brynhilt Savner, received the message from the gravitational wave signal relay station on July 25, 833 in the Community. . What she received was not the daily communication from the Unity Fortress, but the promotion order from Longlin Palace.

Then, from the moment she received the order, this "Her Royal Highness, the most beautiful princess in the universe" who had not yet reached the age of twenty-four, was already an upright Marshal of the Empire.

Well, even so, she is not the youngest Imperial Marshal in the history of the Empire.

However, in the past history of the Galactic Empire, all the elected emperors who eventually ascended to the throne were before that, the Imperial Marshals and the Privy Council Ministers. If you also include Brunhildt, the youngest of the current elected emperors, it is enough to make people imagine.

After hearing Chief of Staff Ostana Barr make such an analysis, Brünnhilt couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this a typical far-fetched idea? According to what you said, all emperors are psychic. Or. All emperors wait until the previous emperor dies before ascending the throne."

"Not entirely, Your Highness. Emperor Yiwenya ascended the throne after killing her father. Strictly speaking, it was regicide and usurpation of the throne." Ostana analyzed seriously.

"... Just tell me if her father is dead when she puts on the Void Crown, right?"

Ostana looked at her master meaningfully, let out three laughters without any fluctuation, and said: "However, according to common sense, you should successfully obtain the Marshal's Scepter when you achieve the great cause of destroying the country. of."

"Perhaps my ancestor has finally awakened some attributes? Are you ready to emulate the previous emperors? You know, 'Blood Mountain Emperor' Bogdai likes to confer marshals, and has awarded more than 2,000 marshal scepters in his life. .”

"Then the owners of more than 1,000 roots were killed by him?"

"There are still more than 500 owners who died in the battle."

"Your Highness, self-deprecation is often the behavior of an optimistic and wise man. However, those who know how to use the taboos of life and death to laugh at themselves have indeed the potential of a saint king."

Brunhildt felt that his chief of staff was ridiculing him again, but just looking at her calm smiling face, there was really no evidence.

Ostana added: "The blood of more than a thousand marshals allowed us to win that galactic war. It was during that period that the earth was fully included in the empire's territory!"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, is this possible? Your Majesty gave you the Marshal's Scepter in advance and laid the stairs in advance. After you have completed your great work, it is logical that you will be rewarded by the world?"

"...Ostana, I have never denied that I am an ambitious and bad woman. I have also said more than once that the most suitable jewelry for my graceful and stunning beauty is the Void Crown. But you This guy is different! Didn’t he take the route of being a scheming and cautious mastermind before? Didn’t he always show off before? Why is he suddenly more anxious than me now? "

"It's probably because, as a psyker, I am always around you, and I have just felt the will of His Majesty the Emperor coming. I can feel that the one who cares most about His Majesty the Emperor is you."

Brünnhilt turned his head suspiciously and looked directly at the chief of staff, but still could only get a flawless smile that showed no emotion at all.

The young queen pondered for a moment and showed a malicious sneer: "After the underground newspapers in Tianyu compiled my private life, they began to compile my staff. They said that you are actually the dead remnant of Kemei's Magicoid. kind."

Miss Chief of Staff smiled and nodded: "I think this is a compliment. However, the origin of those underground workshops has been revealed. It depends on whether you want to accept them as dogs or cut off the heads of the dogs and give them away."

"Ostana!" Brunhilt suddenly raised his voice, interrupting the other party's ramblings.

"My subordinates are here!" Miss Chief of Staff stood at attention and said.

"If you are still alive when I put on the Void Crown, I will definitely give you sixty-six eighteen-year-old handsome boys. But before that, you should go and implement the following matters for me."

"You tell me." Ostana opened the terminal, but this was a well-trained professional behavior. With her memory, even if the master spouted thousands of words on the spot, she could still write it down without missing a word.

"First, the T12 batch of supplies I want must be delivered within 48 hours."

"Second, all squadron units, space stations, and units at the Marine brigade level or above in the Dawn Star Territory will immediately release the confirmation of execution order No. 66."

"Third, confirm the positions of the Glory Sector Guard Fleet, the Fourth and Seventh Patrol Fleets, and the Sobek Mobile Fleet. Gao once again emphasized to them that there is no need to come over to meet with our side. The first task is to cooperate with the Unity Fortress Minontai. General’s mission.”

"Just send it like this?"

"That's it. The Earth Fleet of Miracle Circle has already put up that stupid two-headed dragon formation. It's already been revealed."

After King Su's chief of staff left with the order, her chief thug and first best friend, Gia Fiel, also came back, with a somewhat at a loss expression on her face.

"Oh? Gilly, how does it feel to be promoted?"

Gyafel forced out an unnatural wry smile: "Tell me, how can I become a knight captain with only five rings? The knights are not so short of people, right? They have more seniority and strength than me. There are still many strong seniors.”

"But none of those seniors have the same growth potential as you. This also shows that the old people have already recognized that you are the chief among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Knights (young group)."

"There is no such title, Brynn, never." Giafel said angrily.

"Anyway, this is for the purpose of rejuvenating the generals." Brunhildt gave a thumbs up: "But I'm not asking about the Knights. I want to ask, how does it feel to wear the third general star?"

The female knight spread her hands without sadness or joy: "Because I feel guilty, I lack real feelings. But considering that you already have the Marshal's Scepter, I am still a little calmer."

"...Gili, to be fair, in fact, in terms of sarcasm, you are much smarter than that little noodle stall." King Suliuka rolled his eyes and said, "So, how about the new ship?"

"This is where I'm most at a loss. Brynn, I'm just a warrior. Tell me, how can a common man like me, who only knows how to wield a sword and raise a spear, become the admiral of a squadron?"

"Because times have changed, Gilly, I don't need a simple warrior. Moreover, your potential should be much higher than you think." Brynhilt said while looking towards the bridge Outside the porthole in the distance. At the closest place to the Angel of Dawn, a dreadnought ship painted red with a hull shaped like a sword was sailing at a constant speed, like a loyal knight who was always accompanying the queen.

That is the Barbarossa dreadnought that has been personalized. From now on, she will be Giafel's official ship. This female knight, who had just been promoted to Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy, had officially changed her position from "Brunhilt's direct subordinate" to the commander of a rapid strike fleet.

During last year's war to put down the predators, the name of the "Scarlet Comet" had certainly shocked the galaxy, but one thing is that although Giafel had a complete educational background in military command and shipping management, she had not held any secular position. sense of a command position. To be promoted to the position of squadron admiral rashly is indeed a bit of a mess.

However, in the Galactic Empire, where the will of the top can determine everything, this appointment did not cause much discussion.

"It's a pity that it's not last year. I can't allocate more fleets to you." Brunhild said.

"I think you want to see me making a fool of myself. Now is good, now is enough." Giafel pondered her vocabulary: "But, is it really enough?"

At the edge of the starry sky further away from the Dawn Angel, some gorgeous artificial lights shine brighter than the mottled starlight. That was another group of imperial fleets led by Admiral Farrell that was about to rush over to join Brunhilt. The core of its combat power is the Titan ship "Vulcan Airan".

As a result, the imperial fleet gathered in this "Two-Headed Dragon Galaxy" named by the empire reached 360 large and small warships, and the total strength of the crew, including stormtroopers, reached 1.12 million. The fleet included two Titans, three dreadnoughts, twelve battlecruisers, and nine large war carriers.

Even if it is placed on the mainland of the Milky Way, this is a fleet that can intimidate a country in a star field. However, their total strength is only one-third of the "enemy".

...Well, to be precise, it can't be considered an enemy. When the first shot is fired, how can the opponent be considered an enemy?

In short, the main force of the "Allied Forces" of the Ring of Miracles is still 480 light-years away from here. Traveling at the standard fleet speed, it will take another week to reach that galaxy.

"I thought you were preparing to lure the community's main fleet out of the Miracle Ring."

"Why did they have to lead it out? They gathered all the fleets at everything. They put up such a nondescript two-headed dragon. Why should I give up such a good opportunity?" Brynhilt smiled.

"...So, you are not planning a sneak attack?"

"Why a sneak attack? How can a million-strong army and a fleet of hundreds of warships conduct a sneak attack?" Brunhilt smiled: "Gili, the Admiral Conneris opposite is not a fool. Uh, okay. Of course, he is not a famous general, but his brain must be clearer than that of the Earth. We are guarding against them, so why are they not? A sneak attack is meaningless, not only is it stingy and insignificant, but it will definitely suffer."

"So, we can only attack it from the front in an upright manner?"

"Yes, upright!"

"An enemy whose total strength is two and a half times ours... ah no, a temporary ally."

"Yes, two and a half times! This is the best, once and for all. Gilly, you know that I am most afraid of trouble."

"...I studied at the Royal Naval School and got a special A grade. I am almost certain that your behavior can be used as negative teaching material in any military class. Use it a few times It will never go out of style for thousands of years.”

"Well, the premise is that I lose."

Giafel sighed: "...I should go back to the Barbarossa and get familiar with my battleship."

"You should be familiar with it. You have seen the plan drawn up by me, Ostana. If Admiral Farrell does not object, it will be implemented later. At that time, your results will be the real key. "

"..."

"Jili, your little face is actually a little white. I've taken a picture of it."

"Yes... My military career has been a little over ten years since I started as a knight's squire. I have participated in hundreds of battles of various sizes, and it is not uncommon to risk my life. However, this is the only time. , I actually feel a little nervous. Moreover, I even feel like vomiting. For the first time, I actually feel that I am not suitable to be a knight."

"That's a good thing! Gilly. If you don't feel anything at all, it's me who's worried!" Brynhilt laughed brightly. Her golden dragon eyes seemed to be burning with cold and blazing fire.

"Remember how you feel now. This kind of nervousness and caution will allow you to use your simulated command capabilities in actual combat, and then you can dedicate your victory to me."

Although he said this, King Suliuka, who had just been promoted to marshal, did not continue to move forward after meeting with Admiral Farrell's fleet. They waited for twelve more hours in this galaxy known as the "Two-Headed Dragon" in order to wait for the supply fleet to follow.

The reason why it is called the "Two-Headed Dragon" is that this galaxy has two red stars in their prime, so they were given a name simply and rudely by King Thoraine.

Generally speaking, due to the instability of the magnetic field and thermal energy in this binary star system, it is difficult for natural planets to produce life, and the same is true for this "Two-Headed Dragon" galaxy. The three terrestrial planets in orbit in the inner circle of the star system all appear a dead black and gray color, like fields burned by wildfires in Canada, and present a sense of loneliness and gloomy oppression. .

Of course, Brunhilt knew that these dead planets contained extremely rich minerals, and even many zero-element mines.

In addition, around the Two-Headed Dragon Galaxy, within the influence range of 2 to 3 jumps, there are at least seven or eight earth-like planets that can be transformed and three naturally habitable planets. The wealth of this star field can be seen from this.

However, this has nothing to do with Brunhilt now. She doesn't even want to keep in mind how many Community strongholds and space stations there are nearby. Now, all of King Suliuka's attention has been focused on the main fleet of the Miracle Circle community. It's like a greedy dragon that only plunders the richest treasures first.

On July 26, the supply fleet from the Eye of Dawn finally arrived. In addition to delivering the weapons requested by Brunhilt, it also brought the latest news from the Milky Way.

Three days ago, under the witness of various countries, the mediators sent by the empire entered the Saibanda Fortress located in the middle of Earl I Star Gap and controlled by the Community.

"Are all Earth's leaders brainless?" The Brunhilts didn't know.

"It's because they haven't behaved very well, that's why we're here today," said the chief of staff.

In addition, there is the latest military dispatch. At this time, the imperial guard fleet in the empire had left the sky in a mighty manner, but its whereabouts were naturally kept secret.

However, in the previous month, a high-speed strike fleet composed of cutting-edge warships and elite soldiers from the major guard fleets had already entered the "Blue Sky and Sea" star field early. It is almost the busiest star field in the galaxy. There are many small countries there, so it is also called the "high seas channel" by some veteran sailors who are used to traveling in the universe.

Brunhild fell into a brief silence.

Of course she knew that the four God-class dreadnoughts built by the alliance for the community were scheduled to return home from here.
