interstellar fairy tale

After completing the trip of Holhold, the emperor and his party boarded the battleship and headed for another border galaxy of the empire, Sesia.

The Saisia ​​galaxy includes the main star Saisia ​​and [-] affiliated planets. Most of the planets are dry all year round, the ground lacks vegetation cover, and animals are very rare. It is not suitable for human survival, but this galaxy is one of the main sources of power stones in the empire.As the largest prison planet in the empire, the main planet Sesia provides a large amount of free labor for mining.All captives or political prisoners who are identified as unsuitable for clone transformation will be sent to major mines to engage in mining work.Until death can leave the mines that carry the glory of the empire and support the warships of the empire.To these people, this galaxy is a demon that consumes their lives.

Sesha's lord is Harlan?Edrich.As the emperor's cousin, Harlan?Aldrich has three medium-sized galaxies and a leader of two small galaxies.Sesia is one of three medium-sized galaxies.The energy stones produced by Sesha each year accounted for one-sixth of the use of the empire's space fleet. Calculated by the empire's territory and the number of planets containing energy stone mines, this is a terrifying number.The Sesia galaxy originally belonged to Heine III, and was later bestowed by Heine III on his underage illegitimate son Delan?Edrich.After the death of Heine III, Soran Aldrich gave this galaxy to Harlan?Edrich.There is no lack of criticism among the members of the royal family, but it does not affect the friendship between the cousins. Of course, the premise is that Harlan?Edrich has always maintained an attitude of loyalty to the emperor, and will not be corrupted by the power and money in his hands.

From Holhold to Sesha, the voyage reached [-] light-years, separated by two galaxies, one massive and two medium-sized galaxies.Due to being involved in the previous border governor's rebellion, the rulers of these planets and most of the nobles were executed. The new lord is busy restoring the number of people and the economy of the planet, and he is not yet able to receive the emperor and his party. The family does not dare to treat the emperor rashly. If you make any more requests, just report the situation. Soran Edrich sent a telegram of condolences, and then directly ordered the fleet to go to Sesia.

On the way forward, the fleet encountered a sudden particle storm. Shang Ping witnessed these black battleships with their own eyes. With their huge, streamlined hull and calculated speed, they passed through the storm area without the slightest stagnation.

How strong are they?

Shang Ping has now obtained Solan Edrich's permission, except for the energy cabin, turret, battle armor cabin and a few special places, he can move freely in the flagship, and no one will intercept him.However, eight out of ten times, he would be followed by one or two attendants sent to him by Solan Edrich, which made Shang Ping very uncomfortable.He tried to ignore it as much as possible, and it worked.

At this moment, Shang Ping is standing in front of a huge screen in the independent observation room of the flagship.The emperor's flagship has many such independent observation rooms, which are separated from the emperor's command room. Each of them performs their duties and keeps in touch with the main control room at all times. As a supplement to the main control room, the clearest captured images are sent to the command room. on the home screen.The observation room where Shang Ping is located is mainly used to observe the surrounding environment of the fleet, to ensure the smooth passage, and to avoid the meteorite groups hidden in the dark.Visible particle storms are not terrible, but the meteorite groups hidden in the darkness will always cause the fleet to encounter moderate troubles.

Suddenly, a gray planet appeared on the screen, and the monitor kept zooming in on the planet until he could clearly see that the surface of the planet was devastated like a gale passing by, without any breath of life, as if it was piled up with the ruins of death made.

"This is where?"

"This is the main star of the Muna galaxy on the border of the empire. It was originally a prosperous galaxy no less than Holhold. It is famous for producing high-quality battleship materials and laser gun materials. The previous lord was originally a genius who designed weapons. Unfortunately, he inherited Those who were greedy for profit participated in the border governor's rebellion, and all the family members and followers who participated in the rebellion were killed. This is the fate of betraying the empire."

The attendant standing behind Shang Ping spoke these words in a flat, emotionless tone.Shang Ping noticed for a moment that everyone in the observation room seemed to agree with this passage. They would not show any mercy to rebels, greedy people and conspirators who tried to covet power they did not deserve, even if this galaxy Countless civilians were also involved.

Shang Ping did not intend to continue this topic, and lost interest in staying in the observation room.The attendant rarely commented on Shang Ping's actions, as long as it was within his acceptable range, Shang Ping could do whatever he wanted. This was the power His Majesty bestowed on this boy, the privilege of the Emperor's lover.

When Shang Ping returned to the room, Solan Edrich hadn't made any ambiguous or outrageous actions in the past few days. His attitude as usual made Shang Ping a little puzzled, but he was also happy to pretend to be confused.The etiquette teacher and several other teachers admitted that Shang Ping is an extremely intelligent student, and they have nothing to teach him. If His Majesty wants Shang Ping to study further, he can only invite the royal instructor of Ivan Summer Palace up.However, those instructors who were born in aristocratic families are generally engaged in the work of teaching imperial concubines and heirs of emperors and princes.Even the beloved Grand Princess Aifu and the illegitimate son Delan have not been recognized by these people, even if Heine III personally ordered, no trainer is willing to give the Grand Duchess and the "Second Prince" His Royal Highness Attend class.

If Soran Edrich really handed Shang Ping over to these people, then everyone in Ivan's summer palace, including the emperor's direct descendants and close servants, would re-evaluate Shang Ping's position in the emperor's heart and his future .

However, the current attitude of the emperor is not clear, perhaps he is just a whim.This black-haired boy may just be the emperor's lover, after all, his identity is a difficult obstacle to overcome.

Shang Ping was unaware of the complex gazes of the teachers, or it could be said that he ignored them deliberately.All the lessons came to an abrupt end, and he found himself with nothing to do.Before arriving in Sesha, Soran Edrich didn't have much time, and Shang Ping suddenly became very free. Fortunately, this didn't get to his head, and he would never forget that he was clearly marked as the "exchange target things" hostages.

But that didn't stop him from doing something in private.

After a period of close observation, Shang Ping had a certain idea of ​​the performance and staffing of the imperial warships, including the fleet's maximum range, number of turrets, weapon lethality, and fleet staffing.Although this is based on the fleet of Soran Edrich's patrol this time, the summary of this data is still very precious to Shang Ping.

Shang Ping has done countless private deduction. To defeat such a fleet, even if it is just to maintain a win-win situation, how many battleships, personnel, firepower configuration and logistics supplies Mars' space fleet needs to invest, the huge data obtained Shang Ping was speechless for a long time.

"What if it's cheap dad?"

Lying on the bed, Shang Ping earnestly deduced every step of the envisioned battle, and took the median value between the maximum and minimum battle damage. The conclusion he drew still made Shang Ping unbelievable.With such a result, even if the entire Mars, no, the entire Muse galaxy is lost, it will be very difficult to achieve mutual losses.If it is replaced by the goodwill fleet, with the support of anti-war artillery, there is a possibility of a war.

"This group of monsters... are they really invincible?"

Shang Ping turned off the virtual light screen annoyed, and lay on the bed without saying a word.Little did he know that the deduction he made was appearing in front of Soran Edrich without any omission.Looking at the actual battle design and detailed data on the screen, Soran Aldrich slowly narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, the Mars voyage fleet is plagued by bad luck, and has been attacked by different space pirate gangs several times in a row.Due to the continuous battle and careful avoidance of the Golden Empire's border cruise fleet, Major General Edgar and Major General Charles' eyes were bloodshot, and they had not rested for two days and nights.Colonel William knew that he could not replace any commander, so he could only secretly pray that this bad luck would pass quickly.In any case, the preset coordinates agreed with the Lord Merchant Group are already within easy reach. As long as they arrive safely, they will be able to get supplies again, and the fleet can also take the opportunity to take a rest.If they were discovered by the border cruise fleet of the Golden Empire at this time, they would have no possibility of escape.

Another wave of space pirate attacks was repulsed, and Major General Charles and Colonel William heaved a sigh of relief as the other party withdrew, but Major General Edgar frowned deeply.

"Edgar, what's the matter with you?"

After several times of coordinated operations, the relationship between Major General Charles and Major General Edgar has eased. Major General Charles sincerely admires Major General Edgar as an outstanding soldier.

"I always feel that things are not right." Major General Edgar threw the light pen in his hand on the table, clasped his hands behind his head, "I hope I'm thinking too much."

Even so, Major General Edgar's brows still did not loosen.

"Edgar, what's going on?"

Major General Charles' tone became serious, and Major General Edgar expressed his worries even though it was just a guess: "Charles, have you noticed that the pirates you have encountered recently, every time they attack us, they don't seem to fight hard?" Trying their best, they don't seem to want to rob us, but to consume our ships, in other words, to weaken our strength. And, judging from their fleet command, although it seems loose, it can also be found Some clues, they are not like pirates, but like a group of soldiers deliberately hiding their sharpness!"

Rear Admiral Charles and Colonel William looked at Admiral Edgar's list of battleship damage figures and energy supply consumption in virtual form, and their expressions became serious.
