Him and their stars

Although Marshal Este smiled quite heartily, he was actually in a state of "I don't know what to do except laugh", but he always felt a little awkward inside.

The marshal is the commander-in-chief of the blue side of the exercise, but at the same time he is the flag-bearer of the Grand Marshal's office, that is, the highest military commander in the empire. In this way, the "position" he mentioned before can be said to be the commanding power of the blue side, and can also be understood as the status in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Among the general population, the highest military commander in the empire refers to the three officers in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, namely the Flag Officer, the Seal Holder and the Stable Officer. But in addition, there is a non-permanent position called "sword-bearing officer", which is specially prepared for the election of emperors.

This is a tribute to the glorious days of the Dawn Dynasty in its early years. At that time, in his later years, the founding emperor gave his sword to his youngest daughter, who was also his strongest and smartest child, and asked her to lead the three armies on his behalf. Only then did he get over the succession crisis at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Therefore, in theory, the non-permanent sword-bearing officer is the real highest military commander. Once an elected emperor obtains this position, he will only represent one signal in the Galactic Empire ruled by military aristocrats - the Imperial Crown Prince.

Once he understood the connection, Marshal Este couldn't help but become more imaginative.

So, was she expressing her stance to me just now? Or do you want to force me to express my opinion? no! Nowadays, these elected emperors are either dragons or tigers. I don’t know what they will become after they compete for the throne. As a pure soldier, whoever wears the Void Crown is my allegiance, and the rest cannot be mixed up.

Marshal Este, who was over seventy years old, felt that this was the way to spend his old age peacefully, so he decided to only consider the first meaning of the other party's words.

However, if we only consider the first level of meaning, doesn't King Suliuka mean that if we really want to compete on the battlefield, only Marshal Este and the commander of the opposite red side, Admiral Arifa, will go together? , so that she can enjoy herself to the fullest?

The marshal hoped that he was overthinking. However, as a pure soldier, he actually knew the character and style of each elected emperor well. What's more, King Suliuka was his student for a while.

He knew very well that underneath his seemingly lazy, generous and open-minded appearance, he actually hid the most arrogant soul, the soul of a typical Dragon of the Dawn.

"This yellow-haired girl must think so!"

Marshal Este was greatly relieved for a moment, and was extremely moved by the thought of someone succeeding the empire.

Anyway, the Supreme Being of the Galactic Empire must have this kind of domineering attitude. In the future, if the person wearing the Void Crown is this beautiful but arrogant little girl, at least it will be very pleasing to the eye, and maybe life will be better.

...At least it would be better to not have to be bullied by that old immortal all the time like now.

As a pure soldier, Marshal Este had no guilt at all for disrespecting the emperor. Even if the emperor himself were here, he would definitely say this in person.

However, while feeling happy, the marshal also felt somewhat sad that he was pushed to the beach and beaten to death by the waves behind him. So, after the banquet, the sense of humiliation in my heart became more obvious. When I returned to the blue command headquarters, I immediately slammed the table and yelled: "Little girl, the movie is too deceiving!"

The senior officers present looked at each other in confusion. Most of them didn't know who "Little Girl Film" was, and the few who guessed it could only pretend not to understand.

"Not only do we want to win, we also want to win beautifully!"

No one is surprised. Everyone has known for a long time that Marshal Este is a man with a fiery personality.

However, Marshal Latier, the chief of staff of the Imperial Army who attended the banquet with the marshal and returned with him, knew better and said with a smile: "So, do you want to implement the plan proposed by the young man?"

Marshal Este naturally knew the battle plan. Once successful, it can indeed cause a major blow to the red side. However, he hasn't completely made up his mind yet. Because once he fails, he will be equivalent to using his most elite extraordinary combat power to make a useless move. This is likely to have a chain reaction on the entire battle.

"I let those little guys continue to perfect the plan, what happens now?"

"We have gone down to every combat grouping, and we have made certain assumptions about the astronomical changes that will occur in that galaxy in the next month, and formulated corresponding countermeasures. In terms of pure planning, it is almost perfect." Rattier smiled. He praised: "Although that young man was a little embarrassed before, he is indeed a hero worthy of the future of the Imperial Army!"

"I'm asking about the success rate of the plan." Marshal Este snorted angrily.

"We still can't rule out the possibility that the other party will also deploy heavy troops there." The chief of staff said in a businesslike tone: "However, those young men have gained momentum. You also know about psykers. Just give them a chance. .”

Seeing that the marshal was still pondering, the chief of staff added: "It's just an exercise anyway. It's also very meaningful to see if the young people in the empire can show their attitude with a clear conscience and courage."

"It means nothing! Only losers will say that attitude is meaningful! Every time the empire sets foot on the battlefield, it will always come only for victory! If the exercise is not regarded as actual combat, then the exercise is meaningless." The marshal loudly said: "Tell that little guy Ymir to do it boldly! If he can't break through, I can maintain an undefeated situation for the time being. At most, the two million soldiers in the army will be defeated by a twenty-year-old man." The little girl just laughed at him. Let him do what he wants!"

No, no, that twenty-year-old girl will not laugh at the two million soldiers in the army, she will only laugh at you. Chief of Staff Lartier suppressed a smile and conveyed this order.

Then, the marshal shouted loudly: "Convey my next order to the entire army!"

In the next five minutes, the Blue Base Camp issued war preparation orders to more than two million Blue officers and soldiers on more than 20 surrounding galaxies, hundreds of interstellar fortresses and thousands of battleships.

Of course, the preliminary combat plan had actually been sent to the admirals of each squadron and the commander of the planet fortress a week earlier. But this time, the main thing conveyed was actually the marshal's instructions.

Marshal Este, whose temperament was as strong as fire, felt that he had been ridiculed by a twenty-year-old girl with yellow hair, so he must convey his humiliation and anger to the more than two million soldiers under his command. Let them know their shame and let them do it for themselves!

This is actually Marshal Este's consistent style. Although this marshal, the youngest son of an earl, was born into a noble family, he had been in the army since he was a child, and he had developed such a style of being a big blow-dryer. However, the imperial soldiers like to be sprayed. After being sprayed, they can always get a morale buff, which can be regarded as a military spectacle in the cosmic era.

As a result, the Blue Star Command had to operate at full capacity in an overloaded state, and even transmitted all its energy to the source wave communication device.

After all, this is just a military space station in the orbit of the Luyuan planet. It is a control center used to dispatch and command the security and security fleets in the star region. He has never commanded such a huge fleet, and he has never received such a big shot as the Imperial Marshal.

It is said that the Blue Command Office originally wanted to place the headquarters in the capital city of Luyuan Planet, and also requisitioned a five-star resort manor on the outskirts of the city as a place for the marshal and his commanders to stay.

But we must know that the Imperial Marshal, who is over seventy years old, has dedicated his life to the Imperial Army. Of course, he has developed a military style of being serious, rigid, and unsmiling, but he is also as strong as a rock. So, when he arrived at Marshal Ester on Luyuan Star, the first thing he did was to kick the person in charge of the office out of the exercise and drive him to the distant Black Gate Star District to serve as a jailer.

Then, the second thing he did was to select the inconspicuous No. 14 Public Security Command Center, move the base camp here, and then order the engineering team to add several communication matrices inside.

Some people pointed out that as the headquarters of the entire army, this place is too simple, but the marshal may want this simple, inconspicuous and unpretentious feeling.

Of course, no matter whether the computer in this temporary command center will completely crash due to carrying too much hyperspace information in the future, at least at this time, it did successfully convey the information to the entire army. Of course, it also includes a small fleet sailing at a constant speed towards the center of the galaxy.

This is a fleet composed of one heavy Griffin-class armored aircraft carrier, four Clear Sky-class cruisers, and five Aegis-class light cruisers. From an organizational point of view, there is a bit of excess firepower for patrolling and warning, but if it is used for fleet decisive battles, it will be insufficient. It is naturally prepared for some special combat missions.

These ten battleships are all painted silver-white, and the sides are painted with a golden spear and a celestial globe. Although this appearance is beautiful, it is supposed to be quite conspicuous in the universe. However, the empire's optical camouflage technology has long been very mature, so it will not pose any problem. The important thing is that this fleet is a special support fleet affiliated with the Astral Knights. Of course, it needs to adopt the same style of appearance and painting as the Astral Knights. Otherwise it would be too unseemly.

What's the saying? The Astral Knights are His Majesty the Emperor's sharpest spear and the protective shield of the Galactic Empire. It is said that only by fearing authority can one be virtuous. To achieve this, of course you must work hard on your appearance.

Except for the Griffin-class aircraft carrier, the four Clear Sky-class ships were all new ships built less than half a year ago and had just completed all navigation tests.

The Clear Sky-class cruiser produced by Feilin Shipyard was known as the most perfect cruiser from the beginning of its design. Everyone in the imperial military circles has high hopes for him. However, during the actual combat test, the first Clear Sky was beaten up by the Earthlings' motley fleet, and even set a shameful example of the entire cruiser being completely captured.

After that, the imperial military seemed to have some doubts about this type of battleship, and once again fell into another round of combat effectiveness demonstration process. The original order for the first batch of 48 ships was also cancelled.

Of course, cancellation is a cancellation. After all, this is the empire's new warship, and naturally it is not allowed to find a home to sell it to others. Feilin Shipyard could only look at the skeleton that had been covered with slipways and was about to cry.

Fortunately, at this time, the Astral Knights extended a helping hand and took an order for four Clear Sky-class ships. Perhaps it was because the top brass of the Knights had a keen eye for treasures and had long seen the capabilities of the Clear Sky class, or maybe it was because of the friendship between Marquis Odegaard, who died in the Nebula on the far shore.

However, the biggest reason is that the Astral Knights are an extraordinary armed force directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor. They have great autonomy in military orders, military administration and even armaments, without having to go through the entanglement of the Grand Marshal's Palace and the Privy Council.

After all, the founding emperor who founded the Astral Knights had already said: "The glorious Astral Knights have their own rules of conduct. How can they be restricted by mortal systems?"

This actually makes sense.

For example, the Griffin-class aircraft carrier currently used as the flagship of the squadron and named "Yaoguang Goddess" in the Imperial Navy's serial number has gone through various crazy modifications. The huge hangar that could originally house nearly 500 fighter planes of various types and 1,000 exoskeletons, but after being equipped with countless special equipment and psychic arrays, can now only carry 300 heraldic machines.

Only the Astral Knights, who are not restricted by too many existing military and political systems, can carry out such unscrupulous demonic reforms.

To put it bluntly, the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in this squadron originally served the more than two hundred astral knights on the Yaoguang Goddess.

However, considering the illustrious reputation that the Astral Knights have achieved in history, all this is worth it.

At this time, the leader of the Astral Knights on the Yaoguang Goddess, Viscount Shameen, who had just been promoted to the rank of major general, also received orders from the Luyuan Star Base Camp.

He summoned the main officers of the fleet and informed everyone: "The command has approved our combat plan. We can start action now."

Several captains were very aware of the position of their tool men and did not raise any questions about the battle plan. On the other hand, the captain of the Yaoguang Goddess and the squadron admiral, Major General Bai Ya, who was the only one of the same level as Shameen in the fleet, told the other party that if he really wanted to bypass the overwhelming red fleet, he must choose a relatively difficult and dangerous route. And the engine must be turned to maximum. But in this case, the energy carried on the ship may not be able to sustain it.

"Yes, that's why I chose to pass by Sarna Planet. According to the exercise settings, it belongs to the red team. There is a considerable amount of high-explosive dust and energy crystals stored in the military warehouse. We must capture it, Only then can we win."

In addition to being used for boom, high-explosive dust can also be injected into the core energy center of the ship, allowing it to continue to operate beyond the design limit, obtaining more powerful firepower and faster ship speed. As for the cherished natural crystal, it is an essential additive material for various high-energy alloys. In addition, through the psychic alchemy array on the Knights' special warships, psychics can instantly melt crystals into a coating, allowing the ship to gain stronger defense within a certain period of time, and even absorb and reflect energy rays.

Although the Prime Minister's Office has closed down the crystal mines and dust wells on the Sarna planet, the original special warehouse has still been retained, and a considerable amount of inventory is still stored in it, specifically to supply the Lion's Den Fortress on the Galactic Center Frontline.

Major General Bai Ya nodded.

Anyway, he is only responsible for driving the ship and organizing the fleet. As for when to fight, where to fight, and how to fight, it is all a question for these knights with psychic powers. As an old Kimyan sailor, I am too lazy to think about it, and it is not my turn to think about it.

At this time, the people who need to consider these issues began to speak.

"Now, the only thing we need to worry about is whether the red side will also deploy a large number of garrison troops on the Sarna planet." The person who spoke was Colonel Yeager Soback, an official member of the Astral Knights. He is a new member of the group less than a month old, but he is indeed a very popular newcomer.

There was no way, who knew that he was the only active soldier of the empire who participated in the God of War and played a key role in the God of War Festival that just ended?
