Lost Starry Sky

en route.

Van Owen was stuffed into the cockpit of the garbage ship with a pile of nutrients and newly acquired gadgets.Hall was floating in the middle of a pile of debris, and he could hardly turn his body. He had to help Van Owen organize them into the locker.

As for Van Owen, he was humming a song to reset the operating parameters of the newly bought second-hand housekeeping robot.Because of the lack of gravity, his hair and beard flew around, and his whole head looked like an electric shock.

Hall peeked at it from time to time, but he still couldn't see the true face hidden in this fur ball.

He still clearly remembers the first time he saw the Duke of Wellington with his own eyes.

That was eight years ago.At the graduation ceremony of the Haman Imperial Military Academy, he became the best graduate of that year with double first place in theory courses and simulated combat.

He still remembers how he straightened his back, walked up to the Duke of Wellington, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force at the time, with the most solemn posture, and offered the most standard military salute.Then the duke, the duke stood up and pinned a medal on him with his own hands.

He remembered how he stood upright, every cell trembling with excitement.

He didn't even dare to look the Duke in the eye.

Amid the applause of all the people, the Duke suddenly removed a small stone pendant from his neck and put it in his hand.

"This is the stone I picked up on the first planet I captured after joining the army. May you use the spirit of striving for victory in the military academy to expand the empire's territory!"

After that, no matter how taboo the title "Duke of Wellington" became in the Haman Empire, in his mind, the Duke of Wellington was still the most powerful, mighty, domineering and elegant person.

How could he be the crazy guy in front of him?

But how could Augustine mistakenly recognize his own brother?

Hall was silent for a long time, still unable to figure out how to confirm it, and didn't know what to say to Van Owen at all.After being silent for a long time, Van Owen finally repaired the housekeeping robot and let it go to the back cabin to work by itself.He clapped his hands and asked Hall: "Aren't you an admiral? Why is the account frozen?"

Hall was a little helpless: "Because the troops thought I was dead."

"It's good to die in battle!" Van Owen said with a full face, "Why don't you find a place to hide and pretend that you are dead, so you don't have to take risks on the battlefield?" Before Hall could speak, Van Owen said Asked and answered: "Forget it, you must be reluctant to part with your salary and the privileges of senior officers!"

Hall suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to test Van Owen, and pretended to be irritated and said loudly: "What do you think of me? The bounden duty of a soldier is to fight. As long as I am alive, I will fight for the empire!"

"Empire? Pfft."

"What are you laughing at! This sentence is said by the Duke of Wellington!"

Van Owen asked blankly: "Who is this? I've never heard of it. Is it amazing?"

Hall looked into his eyes and explained word by word: "The Duke is the eldest brother of the current Emperor Haman and the former supreme commander of the Imperial Fleet. I entered the military academy at the age of 14 and served in the army at the age of 17. From Admiral, I have conquered six space fortresses like Rhine City. But—the Duke of Wellington has led the army for eight years, and his record is three times that of mine.”

Hall looked out the porthole leisurely, "He is my idol. My lifelong dream is to surpass him on the battlefield."

Van Owen yawned, and said disdainfully: "So you fight to surpass that duke? Hahaha... But if you just want to surpass him, you can compare with him in singing, cooking, and picking up girls." Who can jump high and run faster in chess? Why do you have to compare the record? People will die in war. Do you just use the lives of soldiers as chips in the game? The most boring thing is-you robbed them in battle The places are still barren, so what's the use of grabbing them?"

Hall was stunned again.

The Duke of Wellington is recognized by the six empires of the galaxy as the most capable fighter. Many people thought that the Duke of Wellington would take over the power of the empire sooner or later and lead the Haman army to unify the entire galaxy.

But he died at the peak of his fame - because the battleship accidentally hit a meteorite.

The late Emperor George XII died on the same day; and Augustine was crowned on the same day - and the first thing after taking the throne was to condemn the Duke of Wellington for treason.

Hall was still reluctant to believe that the Duke of Wellington's death was an accident.He has been searching for the truth all the time, and even risked hacking into the top secret information system of the Imperial Fleet in order to find the answer.

Unfortunately, after three years of searching, he still couldn't find the truth.

Hall believes that if Van Owen is really the Duke of Wellington, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to follow him back to the base and throw himself into the trap, let alone say such a thing?

He decided in his heart that Augustine must have made a mistake!

For some reason, when he came to such a conclusion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like a story? Last month I found a wonderful old book called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy..."

Hall silently blocked his ears with his fingers.

After twelve days of long journey and four jumps, the garbage ship's navigation system finally reminded them: "The jump is over, the spaceship is close to the coordinates. The jump is over, the spaceship is close to the coordinates..."

The night sky was quiet, and countless battleships with cold lights were floating in the void of space.Looking from a distance, the neat line of warships looks like a long sword splitting the starry sky, which is daunting.

And the battleship in the middle is like a huge gem inlaid on the long sword.

That was the flagship of the fleet, the MSI.
