interstellar fairy tale

After a thirteen-day voyage, the emperor's fleet finally reached Sesia.

Lord Sesha, Soran Aldrich's cousin, Harlan?Edrich, dressed in the traditional military uniform of the royal family of Edrich, personally led the frigate to meet the emperor and his party.

If possible, Shang Ping would never want to set foot on the land of this planet again. Here, he and his comrades were once imprisoned. That is not a good memory. Shang Ping does not like self-torture.However, it was unrealistic to stay on the flagship all the time. Shang Ping began to thank the etiquette teacher arranged by Soran Edrich for teaching him how to perfectly hide his emotions under a calm face.Even though there was still a trace of inexplicable emotion in the brown eyes, it was not easy for people to catch it.He seems to be getting closer and closer to what Shangyu hoped for, but Shangping is not surprised by his change. On the contrary, sometimes he feels an inexplicable resistance.

Soran Edrich noticed this change in Shangping, but did not express anything.It was only after Shang Ping stopped all the courses and acted like he was doing nothing, that he arranged for the attendant to bring some military theory books to Shang Ping.There are no difficult theories or difficult concepts, most of them are battle cases of the Imperial Fleet, there are victories and failures, and there are even stalemates between the two sides.After each battle case, there is a summary and re-deduction by the imperial marshal or fleet commander, and some battle cases even retain video data.

Apart from shock, Shang Ping was full of doubts.He didn't understand why Soran Edrich would show him these things?Shouldn't this be a military secret?If you are in Mars, giving these battle case materials to other people at will is enough to be sent to a military court.Of course, Solan Edrich is the emperor, he doesn't have this kind of trouble, and no one will try to send the emperor to a military court, that's purely courting death.

"Military secret?" The handsome, silver-haired emperor leaned lazily on the high-backed chair, resting his right elbow on the armrest, resting his white fingers on his forehead, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Don't use it." Measure my empire by the standards of your galaxy, these are not enough for the standard of military secrets. In the empire, schoolchildren of school age can easily obtain these materials. These are all in the past, and my commander will not be stupid enough to put These are the golden rules, they are just reading material."

"But don't you worry about being acquired by the enemy?" Like him?

"Enemy?" Soran Edrich's smile deepened, as if he had heard a big joke, he turned his head and slowly looked at the huge screen that occupied half of the wall. On the screen, the vast and boundless universe was being displayed. "If you think that these alone can defeat the Imperial fleet, then such a person is not worthy of being called an enemy of the Empire."

Shang Ping was silent, pinching the exquisite reader, not knowing what to say.This man is already arrogant to the point of self-confidence, but he does have the capital of arrogance.

Solan Aldrich suddenly reached out, clasped the back of Shang Ping's head, and pulled the black-haired boy standing in front of him towards him. With the change of angle, Shang Ping looked down at the emperor's face that could be described as beautiful, but he didn't feel at all. Feeling the condescending advantage, just attracted by those blue eyes, as if to be swept into the depths of the ice sea.

Shang Ping started to get scared, but he didn't struggle.

"My wagtail..."

Soran Aldrich lowered Shang Ping, kissed lightly on the corner of Shang Ping's eyes, felt the trembling of the curly black eyelashes, and blew a breath of mischief, Shang Ping opened his eyes in astonishment, wanting to see clearly the emperor's current situation expression, but was pulled into his arms by Soran Edrich.Sitting on the emperor's lap, the change of posture made Shang Ping feel extremely awkward.

The curvaceous white chin rested on the top of Shang Ping's head, and the emperor's voice slowly rang in his ears, "I can guess what you are thinking, no soldier will lose the desire to win. But, you have to remember, the past It can only become history. There is no qualified general who will only rely on the experience learned in the military academy and the experience taught by his predecessors to fight. A real commander will use his talents reasonably. Of course, experience is indispensable, but it is only one step to learn from experience and stand still The Empire will not allow such a commander to stay in the army, at least, I will not allow it. It is a waste of soldiers' lives."

Shang Ping quietly listened to Soran Edrich's words. He already knew how huge the empire under this man was, and also knew how terrifying the imperial fleet was. Speaking of soldiers, then, no matter who it is, it is difficult to win a victory in his hands.

I have to say that the existence of the 670th Bahuoxing Planet is really a miracle.Shangping began to worship Shangyu, and then spurned himself.Well, he should have done that long ago.

"Why did you tell me this?" Shang Ping raised his head, looked at Soran Edrich, and looked straight into those blue eyes, "Aren't you worried about cultivating a qualified enemy?"

"A qualified enemy, are you?"

"Can't you?"

Shang Ping's tone was a bit annoyed, but Solan Edrich suddenly laughed, his chest vibrating slightly, his beautiful voice like a cello, but he had the aura of ruling the world like a lion king.

Gently kissed Shang Ping's forehead, and slid down his cheek, sucking his pink lips, not so intensely, but still couldn't break free.

"I'm looking forward to it..." The murmured voice slowly flowed from the gap between the lips, with an ambiguous atmosphere, "If you can really grow up to stand shoulder to shoulder with me, I will be very happy."

Shang Ping didn't fully understand the deep meaning of Solan Edrich's words, maybe he understood, but he didn't want to think about it.

After that day, Shang Ping no longer hid in the room and did a one-man battle deduction, but began to seriously read the books and materials that Soran Edrich handed him.Occasionally, the emperor would sit down and do a virtual battle game with Shangping when he was interested.According to the emperor, it was a boring sailing time.God knows, upon hearing this sentence, the emperor's attendant rolled his eyes very rarely.

From a small area of ​​local conflicts to an organized fleet, Shangping still does not have the ability to command larger-scale battles.Although Shang Ping often loses his armor and armor every time he loses, he can always find a glimmer of life at an almost impossible entry point, which surprised Soran Edrich.

"Perhaps, I should send you to the Imperial Military Academy."

Solan Edrich's words were just occasional exclamations, and Shang Ping didn't take them seriously.From the mouth of the attendant, he learned what kind of existence the Imperial Military Academy is. It is not like the Madoff Military Academy, where all boys of the right age can enter.

"But it doesn't matter." Soran Aldrich looked at the summary data on the virtual light screen, and rubbed the buttons on the small operating table in a good mood, "I can teach you personally, no matter what, with you by my side, I won't be bored anymore."

Shang Ping sighed helplessly, he would occasionally feel that the young emperor was still a bit childish, which made him feel powerless even to be angry.Perhaps it was this strange childishness that made Soran Edrich treat his enemies and betrayers extraordinarily cruel and ruthless.

Shang Ping's chaotic thoughts came to an abrupt end when the convoy welcoming the emperor arrived at the Governor's Mansion of Sesia.Unlike Namu and Horhold, in Sesia, there were no welcome crowds and fanatical voices.Sesia is an out-and-out imperial prison. Except for the prisoners, most of the permanent residents are the army and a small number of family members, and there are very few civilians.Fortunately, Soran Edrich didn't like that atmosphere either, otherwise, Harlan?Edrich will definitely have a headache, should the prisoners here stand on the side of the road and cheer for the emperor?All of them were captured soldiers and political prisoners.In that case, do you believe Harlan will spread throughout the empire the next day?The news that Edrich tried to assassinate the emperor.

After getting off the land vehicle, Harlan's eyes fell on Shang Ping who was following behind the emperor, and his eyes flashed inexplicably.I always feel that this boy has changed a lot.He was taken from prison to the emperor on a whim before, but he didn't expect to cause many troubles afterwards. Although his escape became part of the attack on the 670th Bahuoxing, but Harlan?Edrich still wanted to kill him for a while.However, according to the news from Holhold, this black-haired boy seems to have become the emperor's lover, so, Harlan?Edrich would not attempt to kill Shang Ping again, at least not when the emperor still loved him.

Shang Ping was walking behind Soran Edrich, and suddenly felt a coolness rising from his back, very like the feeling of being stared at by a beast. He was about to turn back, but was reminded by the attendant, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking , Fortunately, that feeling disappeared quickly, and he was relieved.

Just when the emperor and his party arrived in Sesia, the Mars Expeditionary Fleet finally broke out of the siege of space pirates again and arrived near the supply planet agreed with the Lord Merchant Group.

In the flagship, the operator reported the situation around the supply planet to Major General Edgar in a slightly hasty tone. The other party had received the news of the arrival of the Mars voyage fleet and sent two merchant ships to guide the voyage fleet into the planetary channel. .

Everyone in the fleet breathed a sigh of relief. The battles in the past few days have reduced the main force of the entire fleet by nearly one-third, not to mention the ordinary merchant ships used for camouflage. If they still cannot get food and energy supplies, it is estimated that The entire fleet would be in trouble.

"It's finally here."

Colonel William smiled, and Major General Charles did not remain serious anymore. In the entire flagship command room, only Major General Edgar was still worried.

Seeing the signal from the merchant ship ahead, Major General Edgar had to put away his inexplicable worries for a while, hoping that he was really overthinking.

Muse Galaxy Federation of Free Cities

In the City Lord's Mansion, two guests with special identities suddenly ushered in.

Aika?Derich entered the reception room with only his accompanying maid.The floor is covered with a wine-red carpet, the walls are decorated with gold and precious stone carvings, bright flowers bloom in precious long-necked porcelain vases, and thin gauze curtains hang by the windows, the whole room is filled with a sense of luxury. breath, but it doesn't make people feel vulgar.

On the leather sofa near the window sat two men, one with dark night hair and a gentle smile on his face, and the other with light-colored hair and eyes.The black-haired man Aika?It was the first time Derich saw him, and the light-haired man, Aika?Derich is no stranger.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Novi."

Novi stood up and took Aijia with one hand?Derich's plump white hands gently kissed, "It is my honor, Mrs. Derich. Please forgive my friend and I for taking the liberty to visit."

Aika?Derich turned his gaze to the black-haired man, raised one eyebrow, then covered his bright red lips with a small folding fan, and chuckled twice, "You seem to be more enthusiastic than before. Don't tell me about your friend?"

The black-haired man who had been silent all this time stood up calmly, with elegant movements and a gentle tone.

"Hi, first time meeting, I'm Shangyu."
