The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Miss? Are you... all right?"

"..."

She remained silent, and took out a shiny silver metal block from the drawer of the cabinet—it was a small pistol, and it was quite old.Alicia checked, loaded the pellets, and aimed the gun at her own head.

(shock!)

"No no no no no no!!! No!! Katari needs you! The Queen needs you too!"

"My life is over!"

"There are many other things in a person's life besides love! Jiangshan Sheji! Jiangshan Sheji!!"

For sisters, it is an extremely terrible thing for a friend and master who is serving to suddenly fall into despair and plan to commit suicide.This made the sisters immediately abandon all the etiquette that is usually regarded as the creed of life, and swooped over to throw the Cardinal on the ground, snatched the gun and held down his arm, looking as if they were planning to fight.

"Let go of me! Mina! Lana!" The cardinal cried like a child, she struggled hard, her tail flicked back and forth vigorously, "I'm finished!"

Indeed, Katari is a feudal autocratic monarchy, and the nobles have great power.But in order to prevent these privileged classes with greater power from bullying others and doing evil, the country itself put heavy chains on the nobles from a legal point of view to restrain their behavior.

There are many complicated things, but to sum it up in one sentence——

[Nobles, as role models for the people, naturally have to be intelligent, sensitive, and of high moral character. If you indulge your desires and do something that violates morality and tarnishes the reputation of the empire, why don't you do it? Find out about the package of confiscated and imprisoned. . 】

Obviously, in the eyes of outsiders, I just indulged my desires and did something that violated morality and tarnished the reputation of the empire—and it is the biggest embarrassment of the Katari Empire since its establishment, and it will definitely become the most embarrassing thing that will last until the end. shame.

This is truly 'losing everything'.

Although Alicia's reaction was a bit exaggerated, I am afraid that no one can remain calm when being hit by this.

"Calm down, miss! The situation is under control!"

"It's not your responsibility, the empress has ordered to arrest the troublemaker. She didn't blame you!"

It was several minutes before Alicia was able to calm down and talk.

Anyway... not the worst outcome.The queen ordered the arrest of that nasty guy, which means she already knows the truth.

However, even if you escape the sad result of being in jail with nothing, you will still lose something after all.

"Ah..." With tears on her face, she bit the small dried fish that my younger sister handed over to her mouth just now, and asked, "How many people saw it? What about intelligence control?"

"The head of the Oregana Legion has asked the Dark Angel to do it. It was done very cleanly."

If it was the Dark Angels, it would be no problem, their ability in this regard is amazing.However, no matter how powerful the Dark Angels are, they still cannot clear this information from Oregana's mind...

Let alone a confession, it is hard to say whether the previous relationship can be maintained in the future...

"Alas..." Thinking of this, Alicia sighed deeply again.

Meijiu didn't understand the meaning of the sigh, she comforted:

"Please don't worry, Miss. The Dark Angel has never made any mistakes in intelligence operations, and there will be no crisis."

"I know..." Alicia said hesitantly, "Did the commander say anything when he left?"

In front of Meidou, who has been with her day and night since she was a child, there is nothing to hide. Alicia's inner expression is all written on her face-it is an expression of fear and uneasiness.

As the victim of this incident, it was impossible for Oregana to think nothing of it.After arranging everything, he left before Alicia woke up, presumably to avoid meeting Alicia.

There is a high probability... that he is hated.

However, Mina took out an envelope from her pocket, handed it to Alicia, and said:

"She left a letter and asked me to give it to you after she left."

"letter?"

Handwritten paper letters...

To be fair, there are not many people who still use this kind of thing these days.Faster-than-light communication allows the communication between the parent star and the colony to be completed in an instant. Paper letters cannot compete with conventional communication in terms of convenience and cost. If you want to send a letter to someone in the colony, When you calculate the price, you will find that this is a long-distance express delivery, and the price is far more expensive than taking out a handheld computer to send a short message...

However, handwritten letters can carry far more meaning than electronic communication on certain occasions.

Like now.

Holding the envelope in his hand, he gave himself the illusion of being heavy.Alicia tore open the envelope, took out the folded paper and unfolded it——

The letter was written in the official Katari script, and the characters looked a little ugly. Maybe Oregana's hand, which was used to holding a sword, couldn't get used to this ancient writing method.

Looking at this short letter, the black and white cat's heartbeat gradually accelerated.

[Alicia, when you see this, we should have already reached the front line. 】

[I originally planned to come here this time to have a good talk, but in the end I couldn't do it...it's a pity. 】

There are no accusations or complaints in it, but the words are spoken slowly in the tone of daily conversation. Looking at these sentences, it seems that Oregina's voice and smile appear in front of her eyes.

She didn't look angry, and what was revealed between the lines was not indignation, but...

Pity?There is nothing to do?

And this emotion is not for me.

[Although it was messed up with ulterior motives this time, we understand your intentions. 】

[However, we cannot accept your wishes. 】

[Or, temporarily not. 】

[Now is a very critical period for the Ministry of Consolidation.As you can see, the Dark Worm's offensive has gradually become more ferocious.The existing defense facilities, the fleet, are still unable to effectively prevent the attack of the swarm.In this case, we can't take our energy away from this aspect, and if what happens between us is seen by everyone in the Coordination Department, troubles that shouldn't arise may arise. 】

[Although this possibility is actually not high, we dare not take risks lightly. 】

"..."

It sounds like a card was issued... If you want to count, what card should this be issued?The amount of information seems to be too large to be reduced to three words. (cover face)

But she does have a point.For ordinary people, there seems to be nothing wrong with pursuing love as they please. They can regard love as the most important part of their lives, but some people can't.

There was a line like this in a certain movie - 'Love can surpass anything in the world, it can break all laws and military regulations, and it is stronger than any military government'.But in fact, only laws, military regulations, and the army can guarantee the foundation of "love".

Whether it is the Cardinal Secretary of Katari or the Grand Commander of the Ministry of Consolidation, the responsibilities on the shoulders are much heavier than personal love.

[Now, the prosperity reflected in our eyes is actually like a house stacked with small cards, as long as one is not careful, it will all be destroyed.At this critical moment, we feel that we should play our role well... For us, this is not only a responsibility, but also an obligation. 】

"..."

Alicia sighed deeply, and after she calmed down, she thought about it, and Oregana's choice at this time was expected.

Maybe when we meet next time, we will still be Floating Lotus Seeds.

But when she looked down, she saw this sentence——

[We are very sorry for failing to live up to your wishes.But if one day in the future, everyone can live happily in a safe and stable environment, then let us talk to you. 】

[Although it sounds like a feeling of self-indulgence...let's write it here. 】

[Sincerely, Oregana 0032]

If one day in the future, everyone can live happily in a safe and stable environment...

Wait until the day the pest infestation subsides?This is not a matter of my lifetime... Can I see this day in my life?

But it's always good to have hope.Consider it the little secret of the shrewd and great Cardinal of Katari.

"Huh..." She put down the letter with a lonely smile on her face.

Rest for a while and go to work. After all, the big battle has just ended, and there are still a lot of things on the desk waiting to be dealt with.

At this moment, the communicator on the table beeped.

"Miss, I have your communication."

"Whose? If anyone's interview is rejected..." Alicia stroked her hair and said, "By the way, I warn them that if they make up something random because they don't accept the interview, they will be imprisoned according to the laws of the empire." .”

But Mina shook her head:

"It's Dr. Altera of the Sisterhood of St. Altis."

"The Sisterhood of St. Altis...?"

The Sisterhood of St. Altis is one of the advanced research institutions in Katari, researching medical technology in the old days, but until now, the main field is still biomedicine—specifically, gluing telomeres to chromosomes Such small tasks...

It's their job to find all the clocks of life in the body and find ways to slow them down.But now, this technology that only appeared in legends in the past has been gradually realized.It is true that humans cannot defeat aging and repel death, but they can put welcome mats and trip mines on the road to prevent them from coming too fast.

Wait...'But if one day in the future, everyone can live happily in a safe and stable environment'...

Alicia seems to have discovered a blind spot...

Mina continued:

"The doctor said that the cell recovery technology has been completed at this stage, and she hopes..."

"Okay, how much do you want? Let her speak directly, and if the empire's budget is not enough, just tell her—the Ygudora Hill family is willing to support her team's research."

"I know."

But if one day in the future, everyone can live happily and happily in a safe and stable environment, then let us talk to you——

Since you have said so, then I must live to that day.

------------

"Don't you think... we are cowardly."

Oregana sat on the bridge, looking at the empty deep space ahead of the bow.The repair and refit of the Tiamat have not been completed yet, so she is sitting on a Molo-class dreadnought, and the six flagship-class particle blasters on both sides of the hull are quietly dormant, waiting to be fired. That moment.

The data cable on the back of the neck flickered blue light slightly, and data came from the command link, proving that the hunting troops had bitten the tail of the monster. Maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours later, this Molo-class warship would follow The crusade team set off together, just like Shirajiro hammered Kitoshi, and completely blasted the ice shell monster.

Turn on the magnetic force field stabilizer, and raise your hand to rotate the magnetic field. (convinced)

However, at this moment, Oregana didn't have the arrogance before going out at all, and even the Khorne emblem on her forehead didn't light up.

Originally, she didn't need to participate in this battle. It was just a [-]-kilometer-class mothership-class Kai, and it was destroyed. The troops assembled now are enough—or even if one is added There is nothing special about a strong person who can rotate a magnetic field.Next to it, the nuclear light fluctuates Naga method, the evil eye death light god, and the body shield Phoenix are all standing in a row, and there is no shortage of this firepower.

At this time, taking the battleship to rush into the battlefield, for her, it is actually to escape another battlefield. (far eye)

"It's a bit." Liu Lizi spread her hands, she was sitting leisurely on the chair next to her wearing a game helmet - if it's just a dreadnought and not in command, Liu Lizi doesn't need to provide any assistance to Oregana "and To actually make people wait for you is a human... crumbs of the subspace. Aren't you afraid that she will wait forever?"

"Ugh……"

Apart from sighing, she didn't know what to say.

"If that future doesn't come in her lifetime, will you go to her later? Just like Nuonuo who finds Lark out every time?"

"We think... we will." After a few seconds of thinking, she raised her head, as if she wanted to say something, "And... Liu Lizi..."

But Liu Lizi didn't intend to speak, her tail moved, gently brushing against Oregana's arm:
