interstellar fairy tale

The time has entered August [-] in the Galactic Calendar, and the life of the space pirates cruising on the border of the Golden Empire has become increasingly difficult.

Experienced space pirates know how to avoid the patrol fleet on the border of the empire. Their range of activities always has certain rules. Mastering these rules can effectively avoid direct encounters with the patrol fleet on the border of the empire.However, when the fleet of the Deco galaxy joined in the pursuit of space pirates, the imperial fleet in charge of border patrol suddenly found itself with nothing to do.

The Imperial Border Patrol Fleet went back and forth on the established route, watching the Deco galaxy fleet with an absolute advantage in both number and weapon caliber, and unscrupulously "bullying" the poor space pirates.Some space pirates who were "bullyed" to the point of desperation even cried bitterly when they saw the appearance of the imperial border patrol fleet, and couldn't wait to send a message of surrender to the border patrol fleet, but the imperial soldiers who had received the order could only Staying silently, not saying a word.Until the Deco galaxy fleet forced the space pirates to the point of no return, from personnel, to energy, to ships, after looting everything, they went forward to clean up the battlefield.

Looking at the messy battlefield, the imperial soldiers could only lament that this was not a siege of pirates, but a disguised robbery of pirates.This behavior is simply unheard of.Those former colleagues who are now serving in the Deco Galaxy Fleet are so proud of this, it is really puzzling.In the minds of officers and soldiers of the Imperial Border Patrol Fleet, the Deco Galaxy Fleet has become a more greedy existence than space pirates.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Border Patrol Fleet once sent an inquiry to the capital of the Empire about the actions of the Deco Galaxy Fleet, and the reply he received forced the Commander to turn a blind eye to the blatant plundering behavior of this Galaxy Fleet.The reply was only a simple sentence: "This is the imperial concubine's fleet."

So, Your Excellency the Commander wisely chose to shut up.

"Who is the robber?!"

A space pirate questioned in grief and indignation. At that time, his hands were bound by laser handcuffs, his eyes were red like a trapped animal, and he was escorted to Sesia with his accomplices for "transformation".When he leaves from Sesia, he will be incorporated into the Deco Galaxy Fleet to fill in the shortage of personnel in the fleet.

The plundering operation of the Deco Galaxy Fleet was extremely smooth. Shang Ping cleverly defined the plundering behavior as a "small-scale actual combat exercise", and strictly restricted the activity area of ​​​​the Deco Galaxy Fleet to avoid expanding this plundering operation. so as to cause adverse effects on the fleet itself.Everything has a limit, once this line is crossed, the development of things will be uncontrollable.This is not what Shangping is happy to see.

Enough is enough, this is the advice of Emperor Soran Aldrich.

In addition to paying attention to the activities of the Deco Galaxy Fleet, Shang Ping still has to invest considerable time and energy in restoring the ecology and population of the Deco Galaxy.In mid-August, the first batch of galaxy immigrants arrived in Deco. The surface of the parent star of the Deco galaxy is still not suitable for living, but other planets have gradually settled down with new survivors.The number of these remnants is a drop in the bucket for the entire galaxy, but Shang Ping is satisfied enough.

The accumulation of less becomes more, and rivers become seas.It's not a good thing to be too ambitious. His main energy now is still on the fleet. When the fleet completes the necessary missions, he believes that the Deco galaxy will gradually restore its former prosperity.

The 16-year-old lord of the Deco galaxy, the quasi-emperor concubine of the empire, has added the majesty of the superior every day to his slightly immature face.If Edgar taught Shang Ping the dignity of being a soldier, goodwill taught Shang Ping that conspiracy is not always derogatory, and Solan Edrich unfolded a magnificent picture of the universe for Shang Ping .In the eyes of the emperor of the empire, what Shang Ping had been troubled by, what he was worried about, and what he was restless about in the past seemed so insignificant.

"Stupid."

Once he thought that he could only use this word to describe some of his previous actions, Shang Ping could only sneer except for helplessness.

Of course, he felt that he was still stupid for sneering.

"Power, status, wealth, when all of these become available at your fingertips, few people will care what price they will pay."

Goodwill is not surprised that Shangping would say such a thing. During this period of time, every time I contact Shangping, I can see his growth. He is no longer the young boy who was captured by the imperial fleet, nor is he A boy who treats everything indifferently, he begins to think about problems from the perspective of a person in power. Although there are still many shortcomings, he still makes people look sideways.

"Honey, you've grown up."

"Father, your tone doesn't sound like a compliment."

Shang Ping's legs were resting on the large desk, his black military boots were reflected on the shiny desktop, his elbows were resting on the armrest of the office chair, and his fingertips were stroking the blue earbuds hidden in his hair.Seeing Shangyu with a wry smile, he laughed like a child who succeeded in pranking.

"Father, you don't just want to tell me this, do you?"

"No." Goodwill seemed a little helpless, "Baby, can you tell me how long your fleet will stay on the border of the empire? You know, the indiscriminate lethality is the strongest. Not all space pirates are suitable for being killed." Rob, you know what I mean?"

"Understood, collusion between government and business." Shang Ping shrugged his shoulders, "But, father, you didn't tell me in advance which pirate gang colluded with you, so you can't blame me. Or, you tell me which pirate gang didn't collude with you , for reference."

With fingers clasped on his lap, Shang Ping looked at the virtual image of Goodyu with a smile, until Goodyu fell silent, and then told the other party in a good mood that the activities of the Deco Galaxy Fleet will be suspended in mid-September, and after another month After a rest and adjustment, this fleet will leave the empire and go to the outer galaxy.

"Alien galaxy?"

Finally, Shangyu no longer cared about the captured pirates, and the information revealed in Shangping's words made him pay special attention.

"Yes. Father, you and I both know the original intention of this fleet. Although there was a small problem in the middle, it is basically resolved now. I hope that after I leave the Deco Galaxy, you can keep your promise, Uncle Edgar and Austin, I hope they all live."

"Baby, although I am a businessman, I am also an honest businessman."

"...I think your integrity is more unreliable than a pirate's vow not to rob again."

"Then I swear on my father's name?"

"Forget it." Shang Ping shook his head. "Anyway, the outcome will be the same. I will give you a satisfactory answer in exchange for an equivalent value. I believe you can keep your promise. Swearing or something now is completely unnecessary."

Shang Ping's words were very direct, and also seemed a little unreasonable, at least this should not be the tone of a child talking to his father.But Goodwill obviously doesn't care, and is very satisfied with Shangping's ability to think about these things.

I have to say that this is a strange pair of father and son.

After finishing the call with Shangyu, Shang Ping fell into an unspeakable silence.He has come to this point today, which contains too many uncertain factors. He can say that he has no choice but to shirk everything, but when he really controls the life and death of a galaxy and has a powerful team When building a powerful space fleet, Shang Ping sadly discovered that he also had the so-called "ambition".At the Madoff Military Academy back then, the self who firmly said that he would serve on the supply ship seemed to be so far away that there was only a phantom left, which could only be preserved in the deepest part of his memory, just like the expressionless but tough The blond boy who wanted to "befriend" him was nowhere to be found.

At the end of the memory, the silver-haired and blue-eyed emperor occupied all of Shang Ping's thoughts, thinking of the touch of the snow-like crystal fingertips brushing the corners of his lips, and the light-colored lips gently closing, exuding a blushing breath and Words, silver hair hanging from his shoulders, entangled with his own black hair, like an ancient fetter, tightly entangled all emotions and thoughts, unable to break free, unable to escape.In front of Soran Edrich, Shang Ping learned what it means to be afraid, what it means to be overwhelmed, and...

The knock on the door disturbed Shang Ping's thoughts, and he woke up suddenly, only to realize what he was thinking just now.Seeing the attendant walking in, the quasi-imperial concubine blushed inexplicably.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

"My lord, I just received the news from the capital that His Majesty the Emperor will come to the Deco galaxy in three days. Please be ready to pick him up."

"what?!"

In the afternoon of this day, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Earl Reichardt, will discuss with all the members of the cabinet on the emperor's new decree.The previous decree that the nobles were exempted from taxation and the rectification of the nobles' amnesty regulations had received unexpected results.Now, everyone in the cabinet has gradually figured out some principles of Solan II's actions. It is only a matter of time before they wait and see the emperor's decree cautiously to accept it without hesitation.However, before that, the opinions of the cabinet members should still be listened to. After all, the laws of the empire are not just for decoration, and the implementation of the emperor's decree is not just a simple order.

"His Majesty's government orders during this period are all about economics and criminal law. Is His Majesty completely satisfied with the military department?"

The discussion of the new decree is just a formality. The Marquis of Gree doesn't care about depriving the old-style nobles of certain rights. People don't pay attention to the benefits that people get by following others and flattering them.

Paying taxes and acting according to the law are all part of the long-term existence of the aristocratic family, and the era of Heine III was just a short-lived farce.

After the cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister was summoned by the emperor, and Soran Edrich seemed a little careless.Earl Reichardt felt a little strange, until His Majesty the Emperor announced that he would go to the Deco Galaxy for inspection in the near future, and he got an answer casually.

Walking out of the emperor's office, Earl Reichardt passed by the court ceremonial officer who was walking towards him, paused, then shook his head, His Majesty is indeed very young, but it's nice to be young...
