The Sword of Galaxy

The Glory Legion is an army honed by failures. It has gone through gunpowder, war, massacres and bloodbaths. It has fought from [-] warships when it was first established several times to dozens or even dozens of warships at the end. Celia himself even It is often wandering on the edge of life and death.

During this period, one person gave great support to the Legion of Shining—Senker Consetlin, the then Speaker of the Alliance.

Judging from Celia's recollection, every once in a while he would leave the alliance's capital, Lan Xi Xing, to go to a certain laboratory on his birthplace, Egret Xing, for a physical examination.These fragments are often obscure and difficult to identify, but Heinrich can clearly feel that Celia is not in a good mood at this time, and those scattered images that are advancing rapidly are the result of his deliberately blurring this memory .

It is worth noting that Speaker Concetterin and his granddaughter Edna, who is in charge of the laboratory, were present every time he went for a full body check.

Celia's memory did not reveal the reason clearly, but this was a very unusual thing-you must know that he was not a marshal at the time, but just a general who had just been promoted not long ago, and there are 62 such generals in the alliance .Under the effect of genetic surgery, they are all maintained in their prime on the surface, but except for Celia, all the generals have more than 30 years of deep experience.

A small physical examination can be personally supervised by the chairman of the Labor Union. How deep is the water behind Celia?

During Celia's tenure as admiral, it was probably the period when his relationship with Edna developed the fastest.

What often appeared in his consciousness was the lush mint field on the Egret Star. The young Edna was sitting on a deck chair in a white dress, with her white and beautiful feet, giggling and kicking her book. Celia walking back and forth: "Are you really so busy? Go get me that glass of mint juice!"

"What are you looking at? Don't go, sit down!"

And Celia turned back and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said helplessly, "I have a lot of military reports to read..." She still went to get the mint juice, and bent over to hand it to Edna.

They sat in the field reading, drinking tea, chatting, and spent a warm and relaxing afternoon together.In the evening, a heavily guarded armed airship landed on Egret, and Celia would bid farewell to Edna and board the journey back to the Blue Twilight Star Army Headquarters.

That may be the last period of undisguised, peaceful and smooth days between them.If time goes on like this, maybe they will finally get married and be happily ever after.

However, the world is impermanent. In the winter of 100 years of the Milky Way Era, Chairman Senkel Consetlin was assassinated on the way to visit, and the rescue failed.

A grand funeral was held in the capital, and Edna, dressed in black, wept bitterly in front of the crystal coffin.Celia, dressed in military uniform, lined up with a group of high-ranking officials of the Alliance Army to salute, then left the crowd and walked towards Edna.

"My condolences." He helped Edna up, and said in a low voice, "The speaker will not be alive even if he is alive in heaven..."

With a snap, Edna grabbed his hand and raised her tear-filled eyes to stare at him: "Gavin, I need your help."

Celia was taken aback.

"The re-election of the speaker will be held next month. There are seven candidates including my father. The next speaker will be determined based on the number of votes."

"you……"

"I need your vote." Edna said in a firm voice, "Remember, it's not my father who needs it, nor the Consetlin family - it's me who needs your personal vote."

Later, many cases proved that Edna Consettrin was completely worthy of her political pedigree. With the help of her keen and unique female intuition, her political literacy and sense of smell were sometimes even stronger than Celia.

Of the seven candidates at the time, her father, Douglas Consettrin, had little hope and only received 12% of the total vote; however, within 24 hours after Celia cast his own vote, the Union Army The political climate has completely changed.

The four votes representing the entire Legion of Glory were all voted for Conceitlin after a brief vote within the regiment; the six votes representing the Military Commission had not been cast for a long time, but four votes were cast in the afternoon after the Legion of Glory made its statement Consetlin; the garrisons of the galaxies moved with the wind, and more than 40.00% of the votes were given to Consetlin the next day...

When Celia got away from the military regular meeting on the third day and found out that something was wrong, the Consettrin family had frantically absorbed more than half of the total votes in the alliance military circle!

Celia never expected that the voting content, which should have been top-secret before the final result was announced, would be circulated through various channels the moment she clicked the submit button. Of course, the black hand behind it is self-evident .And his own negligible one vote was magnified layer by layer by the Glorious Legion, the Alliance Military Commission, and even the local garrisons, and finally shook the entire election vote system.

Celia and Edna finally broke out in their first violent quarrel since they knew each other, and the end result was Celia leaving in anger and refusing to attend the Consetlin family party-this is a very big thing, Because he had planned to be officially engaged at that party with Edna.

However, all this has been of no avail.

The results of the re-election vote were announced two weeks later, and Douglas Consetlin was successfully elected with a lead of No.217% of the votes, becoming the next Speaker of the Alliance.

At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Glorious Legion, Gavin Silia, was training on the Extreme South Star, and refused to attend his inauguration ceremony, and did not even sign the joint congratulatory message issued by the Military Commission.

The outcome of this matter was that Edna flew to the extreme southern star in person, persuaded Celia for more than half a month, and barely quelled his anger at the cost of adding two deputy speakers.

Celia led the troops back to Lan Xixing, but did not mention this disturbance in front of the media.On the surface, everything has passed, but the temporary reconciliation cannot hide the fact that anyone with a discerning eye can see——

As a descendant of a politician family, Edna Bisilla was one step ahead of seeing the huge political potential in her boyfriend.

And their relationship, from this moment on, can never go back to the beginning.

In the 120th year of the Galactic Era, Silia was elected as the Marshal of the Armed Forces by referendum by virtue of her profound military exploits and popularity, and has since become the No. 1 military of the Alliance.

At the inauguration ceremony, Celia wore a white military uniform, gloves and riding boots of the same color, a titanium silver saber on her waist, and three golden military emblems on her chest and shoulders, symbolizing the military power of the sea, land and air forces in the ancient earth era.He straightened his back with no expression on his face, and walked up to the high platform surrounded by the thirteen Iron Guards of the Glorious Legion. He took the double S mech phoenix from the speaker's hand—a silver ring, and put it on his left middle finger.

The whole galaxy witnessed this scene.

He glanced down the stage, and stared at Edna instantly, and they were separated instantly.

In an instant, his memory was so deep that even after hundreds of years of baptism, the picture was still clearly visible—in the luxurious auditorium, Edna was wearing an expensive and exquisite suit, with a feather hat and silk Gloves, applauded gracefully with the crowd; her eyes were still filled with joy and love, but it was hard to distinguish the real from the fake.

Celia looked away.

It is worth noting that Caroline, who was the speaker's guard at the time, was sitting not far away, and she was still a young woman who hadn't experienced much in the world at this time.If a camera happened to pass mid-air, Edna, Celia, and Caroline would be found facing each other, forming a perfect equilateral triangle.

All the indications of destiny are faintly emerging at this moment.

In the second year after Celia became the commander of the alliance, he led the army to tour the frontier; in the eighth year, the surrounding galaxies were basically declared peaceful.

This battle established his status as a military god and the prestige of the alliance in the galaxy. Since then, the number of voluntary military service among teenagers aged 18 to 25 has increased by 30.00%, and the number of applicants for the Shining Legion has doubled.

At this time, there is no major war in the galaxy, and the alliance has entered the first peace period in hundreds of years.

In a relatively calm environment, Celia once again put the engagement on the agenda.

In fact, at this time, Edna was already the girlfriend of the marshal in a very public manner. They matched each other's identities and backgrounds, and Edna, as a rare Omega woman, was more recognized by the people, and they generally felt that they should be paired together.

If there are no accidents, they will soon hold an engagement ceremony on Egret Star. Celia has even decided on the venue, which is on the mint field where she was born—but the plan can't keep up with the changes, and a big accident happened suddenly before the ceremony. No small surprise.

That evening, when Celia returned from the Military Commission to her private house in the suburbs, she suddenly saw a low-ranking officer leaning against the door covered in blood.He immediately stepped forward to help the officer up, but the other party struggled to grab his hand, and he opened his mouth with a powerful message: "Yuan... Marshal, Ophiuchus... The Ophiuchus constellation is rioting!"

Celia's pupils constricted instantly.

"The deputy commander killed... the soldiers were killed, the army jointly protested, and they were suppressed to death... Hundreds of people died... Now the local barracks are all blocked, communications are supervised, and those who released the news...all... all All……"

The officer gasped for breath, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes: "We hid on the merchant ship and fled to Lan Xixing, but the military police came to arrest us as soon as we landed... Only I escaped, and I can only come to you..."

Celia's fingers trembled slightly, and she stroked the officer's messy hair for a long time: "It's okay, I get it. What's your name?"

"Kaleyan..." The officer spit out blood from the corner of his mouth: "——my name is Kaleyan."

This kicked off the largest corruption case in the history of the Union Army.

No one thought that Celia's action power was so high: on the night of Kaleyan's informant, the captain of the Gendarmerie was arrested and imprisoned, and the Capital Defense Force was officially disarmed; Tiewei is like a wolf like a tiger, and the first thing he does when he lands is to arrest and tie up the Commander of the Ophiuchus Constellation Garrison.

Soon the local situation was reported to the marshal. That afternoon, Celia personally led troops to surround the military headquarters building. Facing Speaker Douglas who rushed over, he only said one sentence: "The military department needs to clean up the door, go back and take care of it." Parliament."

Facts have proved that it is useless even if Douglas wants to control it. Soon the fire spread from the military to the parliament, and countless shady stories were uncovered, making it too late for the congressmen to escape.

Corruption, favoritism, smuggling of arms, dereliction of duty... a pile of shocking crimes were exposed in broad daylight, and dozens of congressmen were sacked in just two months.At the beginning, Speaker Douglas wanted to forcibly stop the investigation, but as more and more evidences involved the Consetlin family, even he had to keep his mouth shut.

Those were the two months when the coalition's political bloc was most shaken. The anti-corruption storm swept from the local garrisons to the Central Military Headquarters, and from the Central Military Headquarters to the Supreme Council.Every day, different officials are "invited to talk", and most of them will never go home after talking; followed by family members being monitored, accounts frozen, and all assets have to be liquidated in a blanket manner .

This is not bad, after all, the members of the administrative system can go to "talk" first, and maybe they can avoid the fate of being liquidated if they talk about it; The officers didn't have any chance to "talk" at all. They were disarmed and imprisoned in situ, and then immediately began to liquidate the assets-if there was something wrong with the liquidation, someone would naturally come to talk to you.But if the "wrongness" is too big, there is no need to talk about it at all: you go to the military court and tell the marshal himself.

The storm lasted for four months. 62 members of the Alliance Parliament were dismissed, forty school-level officers in the military were arrested, and 39 generals were awarded titles, including eight generals.Originally, Celia would continue to investigate, but many shady scenes have penetrated to an unimaginable level, and Speaker Douglas himself will be investigated further down.

"You must stop!" Edna forcibly connected the phone to the marshal's office that night, and yelled at Celia in front of the guards: "The parliament is already in a mess! If it continues like this, the administrative system will be paralyzed! You must stop going crazy immediately, Stop it now!"

Celia stood in front of the desk and asked indifferently, "What do you want to do?"

"Abolish the investigation team, release the currently detained officials home immediately, and smooth the situation from now on! All previously sealed materials will be destroyed..."

"Do not."

"--What did you say?"

"I said no." Celia's voice was very calm, and said: "I will stop temporarily, but those materials will be permanently preserved as the basis for re-initiating investigations in the future. In addition, the relevant evidence pointing to Speaker Conceitlin has been It has been retained, and I will make a new choice when the next election is re-elected."

Edna seemed to choke for a moment, and asked slowly after a long time: "Do you have to talk to me like this?"

She was answered by silence.

"Gavin...do you remember that the day before yesterday was the day we were supposed to get engaged?"

Celia looked away and said in a low voice, "I went to Egret that day."

"You went to Egret," Edna said coldly, "but you didn't come to pick me up before you left."

The spacious office was quiet. The two looked at each other through the light screen, and each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

Edna smiled wryly after a while: "Forget it, it's not like I haven't postponed it anyway, let's talk about it next time."

The hologram disappeared from the light screen, and she cut off the communication.

Celia sat down slowly, holding her forehead with one hand, unable to see the expression on her face.After a while, he silently waved his hand, and the two guards immediately retreated as if they were pardoned.

"You can come in, Kaleyan." Celia whispered.

Kaleyan, who was standing quietly outside the gate, was taken aback immediately, and walked in slowly with a tea tray, his face a little embarrassed: "Sorry Marshal, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay. What kind of tea?"

"Thin, mint—"

Kaleyan glanced at Celia, hesitated for a few seconds, and carefully put the teacup in front of him. He couldn't help but said, "Actually, I think Miss Edna knew about the mutiny in the Ophiuchus constellation, but..."

"I know, that's why she wants to get engaged early."

"...Actually, there are many good girls in this world, Marshal." Kaleyan swallowed, and said cautiously: "Besides, the Consetlin family's reputation in the local army is not good. Miss Edna just wants to put If you were tied to their big boat, if you were replaced by a good girl with a clean birth and a virtuous character—”

"Kaleyan," Celia said in a deep voice, "shut up."

Kaleyan stopped suddenly, and whispered for a while: "I'm sorry, Marshal."

Celia took a sip of tea, his eyelashes drooped in the hot air, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.Kaleyan waited anxiously, thinking that he should throw a glass and tell him to get out, but after a long time, he heard Celia's very peaceful voice, asking, "Have you ever thought about returning to Ophiuchus?"

... Is this the meaning of sending him back to his hometown?Kaleyan's eyes dimmed immediately, and he said, "I can leave anytime... Thank you for your care during this time, I will explain to the officer myself when I go back."

In fact, he couldn't explain it at all. Although Celia covered up his whistleblowing in front of the parliament, but the disappearance and reappearance of such an old living person must not be concealed in the local garrison, and his chief will immediately notice the strangeness .There are too many people who have been dragged into the water by this political storm, and they cannot move because of Celia's high position and authority, but it is absolutely fine to kill him, a little shrimp, to vent his anger.

The more Kaleyan thought about it, the more bitter he became, and he felt a little self-defeating in his heart. He just wanted to pretend to be happy and say goodbye, but Celia shook his head and asked, "How can you explain to the officer by yourself? If someone knows that you have a hundred lives, you will die." It’s not enough to die—how about this, I have a few places for personal soldiers, would you like to be my bodyguard?”

Kaleyan couldn't believe his ears for a moment, but felt his heart beating, and all the blood rushed to the top of his head.

"But I—but I'm just a junior officer, and I didn't graduate from the Capital Military Academy—"

"I never went to military school," Celia snorted.

Kaleyan opened his mouth and closed it in vain, opened his mouth and closed it again, and after repeated several times, he finally squeezed out a sound from his throat: "Okay... okay, I promise... no, I don't want to be... No, I mean I'm very honored..."

However, Kaleyan's speech of allegiance is destined to never have a chance to finish.

Celia got up and patted him on the shoulder, stuffed the empty teacup into his hand, turned and walked out of the office.
