Him and their stars

"The war of conquest is a painful march that tests willpower and courage. It is never a legendary story full of glory. Now that it has begun, it must achieve the purpose of the empire. This is the duty of us, His Majesty the Emperor's eagle dogs. This In this kind of thing, there is no room for opportunism. In history, all the tricks may have gained benefits at the time, but history will always need to compensate." Admiral Rosanaio said.

"So, you are not optimistic about this so-called void metamorphosis plan?" Marshal Ikenluojia asked.

"It's not important." Admiral Rosanaio said: "We have concentrated our absolutely superior forces here. This is the real power to break through the Seide Fortress and cut off the evil dragon."

Marshal Ikenluojia nodded slightly and looked at his old friend behind the window with admiration, feeling extremely relieved. The two people's philosophies and views are actually very similar, their combat styles and choices are also very compatible, but their personalities complement each other. Cooperation like this is much smoother than that of the manic Kyeyang man who went to heaven.

While secretly slandering his former colleagues, the marshal said: "We are indeed preparing to crush the people of the earth with steel and blood. However, only with such confidence can we have room to implement other plans. I am too occult. The battle plan is difficult to evaluate, but this is a battle that has been prepared before the official war begins. You also know the identity of the Duke of Infante, Geribian, who is in charge of the battle."

"I know that she is the cousin of His Highness Belial, the former King of Solane. She ranks very high in the succession. Although she is not the first in line, the position of the emperor is not always chosen according to the normal order. An inherited one.”

"If this plan succeeds, will this noble lady become the new King of Solane?"

Marshal Ikenluojia did not answer directly, but said: "His Royal Highness Garibian is still a seven-ring psyker and one of the priests of Xingjian Pavilion, but he has also served as the knight commander of the Astral Knights."

"The success of the Void Metamorphosis Plan will help His Highness become the Eighth Ring?" Admiral Rosanaio immediately grasped the key point.

The marshal nodded slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile: "If the fleet is gone, we can build it. If the soldiers are dead, just continue mobilizing. Even if we die here, there are still well-trained, energetic and heroic young people." It can be made up. However, if three demigods fall in one battle, even the empire will be damaged."

"Indeed, two months have passed. The chief and deputy captains of the Astral Knights are still vacant, and the chief cardinal judge of the Tribunal is still vacant. The empire needs new demigods, so that it can restore the confidence of the people."

The marshal pondered for a moment: "In addition, there are some other factors. His Highness Garibian is a very chic non-marriage person, but his private life is still very rich."

Admiral Rosanaio felt that the topic was a little too far-fetched and fell into a brief silence.

"His Highness's current boyfriend is a very famous painter and sculptor named Mo Dan."

"I know this. Last time a businessman from the Bakwe royal family came to give me a gift, he brought Mo Dan's paintings. There are many empty-minded artists in the imperial capital, but those who can become famous in the imperial capital before they die show that they have real ability. .”

The marshal smiled and said: "This Mr. Modan was a good friend of his classmates when he and King Bedo were at Shire Memorial University."

"...Well, it sounded a bit confusing, but I seem to understand."

Of course, Admiral Rosanaio didn't want to pay much attention to these complicated relationships, but he also understood that this battle, in addition to combat skills, was also related to the advancement of a demigod, and now it is very likely to be related to him. The ownership of the supreme seat in Longlin Palace has something to do with it.

Of course, the implication of Marshal Ikenroga's words is also clear. There are some things that we soldiers don’t actually need to get too involved in. We can just mention them and do our job of holding the battle line.

General Rosanio smiled bitterly and said: "You see, that's why I said that the war of conquest is indeed a real march of suffering!"

Marshal Ikenroga nodded in agreement: "Isn't that what it is? All wars will ultimately turn into political wars, and soldiers who don't understand these will become cannon fodder. And that's how the so-called suffering comes about. of."

Both veterans felt that this was really a sentiment full of wisdom in life!

At this time, they also received the latest frontline battle report.

First, the main fleet of the Blue Star Community has all assembled, and under the cover of the fortress artillery, it is blocking its own path to the second half of the nebula.

Secondly, His Highness Garibian, a psychic master who is both a Star Viewer and a Knight Commander, has arrived at Seide Fortress on the Natural Crest.

This kind of advanced psychic warfare does require a high-energy alchemy platform and a psychic stargazing pavilion on a Titan ship to enhance the psyker's perception and strength.

Of course, as a royal aristocrat, he had to go to the battlefield on the ship before even having time to decorate the bridge. This style was indeed surprisingly pragmatic.

As a result, the frontline fleet that arrived at Fortress Seder included two lieutenant generals, Renea Tallian and Qiuwen Rast, as well as four major generals including Yeager Soback. Squadron. They will uniformly obey the command of the most senior Lieutenant General Tanlian and cooperate with the actions of His Highness.

Admiral Rosanaio gave his old superior and old friend a meaningful look. After pondering for a moment, he applied for the headquarters fleet to start moving forward and be ready to meet the frontline fleet.

"As expected, you are not optimistic about His Highness's void metamorphosis plan." The Imperial Marshal smiled.

"I have met Duke Infante several times and I know her style. This does not look like her handiwork." Admiral Rosanaio said.

Marshal Ikenluojia's expression was a little strange. He thought of the duchess's reputation in the imperial capital, and he couldn't help but have some wild thoughts. However, he is of this age after all, and has passed the age of joking about affairs in the boudoir.

"His Highness should just be the executor of this plan. However, as far as I'm concerned, I just want to meet the most talented soldier of this era. Hahaha, I am also a warrior, too. It’s a bit of a pursuit.” Admiral Rosanaio burst into heroic laughter.

Although he always gives others the image of a gentle, elegant and talkative Confucian general, in essence he is still a thoroughly typical Tirero martial nobleman who suffers from war addiction syndrome.

"Don't worry, I'm old enough that I don't even have this bit of judgment. I'll be careful."

The two empire veterans did not even hold a high-level military meeting and quickly discussed the follow-up situation.

As a result, Marshal Ikenroga will lead the newly arrived engineering troops to start construction - the wealthy empire is already preparing to put the face of Said Fortress on the four galaxies along the line of Earl I A7 and Lucknar Corridor T2. A series of forward bases are established. Including maintenance platforms, energy collection factories and supply stations, etc., there are even preparations to build a fortress, which is said to be larger than the fortress opposite, eh, "Qingtian Castle" level.

This can probably be regarded as the "hard stronghold" of the cosmic era.

Of course, the Imperial Army knew that every move they made was within the surveillance scope of the Community's reconnaissance forces, but they were not prepared to cover it up at all, and even made a big show of it.

As for Admiral Rosanaio, he personally led the Thor Nomen and his huge fleet to advance towards the fortress.

However, when he was still ten hours away from Seide Fortress, he received the latest news.

"Your Excellency! According to the report from the front, Major General Yeager Soback of the Said System reports. Our fleet is already in a fierce battle with the enemy!"

This battle report was beyond the expectations of the Imperial Army's top brass. His original plan was to consider the next move after his own fleet arrived on the battlefield. The psychic master who was born into the royal family actually agreed with his opinion before.

However, the battle has already begun.

"Where's Duke Infante?"

"Having entered the Star View Pavilion of the Natural Crest, we are preparing to activate the array." The adjutant reported: "His Highness had already sensed the array before entering the array. The array is complete and it is the time to activate it."

The admiral forced himself to calm down and looked solemn. He now speculates that maybe the Earth Fleet launched an attack on his own vanguard fleet first, trying to defeat them one by one.

However, such actions are destined to be in vain. Before the Nature's Crest arrived on the battlefield, the combat power of the fleet led by Lieutenant Generals Tarlian and Rust alone was completely equal to the entire community's combat power, not to mention the Nature's Crest Titan that arrived later. Ship.

He estimated that the community fleet was gradually showing signs of fatigue during the battle with his own side. Our side felt that it was profitable, so we pressed forward with full force. His Highness also made the judgment that the time had come.

Admiral Rosanaio's calculation was correct.

According to the report of Major General Yeager Soback at the front of the situation, the whole story is as follows: The war was indeed started by the Community army, but it was not from the fleet, but from the new fortress cannon installed in the Said Fortress.

His Highness Garibian is a royal nobleman with great dignity and accent. After arriving at Saide Fortress, he immediately assigned the battlecruiser Yu Rabbit to approach Saide Fortress and prepared to send a letter of challenge.

"You and the 'Dragon of Dawn' are old enemies, but we were also comrades-in-arms in the past. Sir Sobaike, the work of the messenger should be performed by noble officials. Please tell Yu Lian that although we are life-or-death enemies now, we cannot Lost the sense of honor and chivalry." Duke Garibian said.

The 45-year-old duchess looks more than ten years younger than her real age, and is at her most mature and charming age.

She has bright appearance, graceful grace and tall figure. She is indeed a stunning beauty. However, her fierce temperament, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, was enough to make people ignore her appearance that seemed to have divine beauty.

Yeager Soback was indeed intimidated by the power of His Highness, and he quickly nodded and agreed. Then he began to regret it.

I, I shouldn’t have offended His Highness, right?

Just when Sobak was about to cry, he heard the other party say again: "Tomorrow at noon, I invite him to meet at the center line and have an honorary duel with him as a psychic."

As soon as these words came out, the scene naturally caused an uproar, and even Soback had no time to continue struggling with his fate.

"Rong, honor duel?" Lieutenant General Renya Tanlian asked again in disbelief.

"Yes, an honorary duel. The 'Dragon of Dawn' has wanted an honorable duel in the Imperial Capital since he participated in the God of War Festival the year before last. He has clamored for it no less than ten times now. This time, his wish came true. But what can I do?" The duchess smiled and said: "It just so happens that I am in the seventh ring, but the knight commander only serves as a part-time officer. He has been a star officer all his life and does not have much experience in frontal combat. He is in the sixth ring, and he is young but It’s been through many battles. Isn’t this a balanced duel?”

"..." Everyone felt that what His Highness said actually made sense.

"He won't agree. Even if he agrees, he will definitely play tricks." General Renya Tarlian said. At this time, the female general's shock had turned into doubt. She had suffered losses from Yu Lian in the previous battle of Cuiling, so naturally she was not afraid to judge that person's character with the greatest malice.

"Then we need to test it more. If he is really unwilling to accept the challenge, we should try to find out the truth. If he accepts the challenge, we can also make some arrangements in advance." The Duke thought: "I promised Rosaneo General, the plan should be launched during a full-scale attack. But during this period, we cannot wait and waste time."

Come on, it can be seen that although His Highness took the initiative to raise the awareness of honor, he is indeed not the type who talks about martial ethics.

"Sir Soback." The duchess called out to Yeager Soback who was about to shrink back into the crowd.

You don't want me to get rid of him while delivering the letter, do you?

Then I definitely can't do it. Even if I am sent to sneak attack him, I will never be able to do it.

"After arriving at Said Fortress, there is no need to add any extraneous details. Just find an opportunity to see this thing start up." The Duke handed over a golden bead that was only the size of a broad bean. When it fell into his hand, he could hardly feel any quality.

Soback rubbed the surface, and his skin immediately felt the uneven touch on the surface of the golden bead, which actually had a sense of rhythm.

In fact, he didn't really ask much about what this thing was or what it was used for, he just wanted to be a good messenger.

Well, if His Highness hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have even wanted to be the messenger.

Of course, the friends on the Royal Rabbit think this is a very honorable mission.

"This is also the first time you and he have met since the war started, right? They were obviously rivals and comrades, but now they have truly become mortal enemies. When we meet again, a vast war will begin. Sir , what is an epic, this is it. What is a legend, this is it." Miss Serlu said with excitement on her face.

"Legends and epics all depend on our descendants' interpretation of this kind of thing. However, this kind of mission is indeed yours. Sir, you will be the first imperial general to board the Seder Fortress. , we can take advantage of this opportunity." Captain Perce directly and seamlessly switched himself into strategist mode.

"...How to use it?" As soon as Soback asked this question, he suddenly felt that he was talking too much.

"I remember that their vice president, named Hierro, is also in the fortress. There may be a ceremonial meeting at that time. You can prepare some gifts, yes, gifts that are suitable for princes, nobles or even heads of state. Then in front of that... Vice President Luo's face, as well as Admiral Sylvester's face, were designated to be given to General Yu. He also said that General Yu is the only one in the world who is worthy of the national gift from the Yu Empire." The captain said seriously. road.

"You are really not a good person." Viscount Serlu glared at the captain, but after thinking about it, he showed an excited expression: "But, Your Excellency, you can actually try this..."
