interstellar fairy tale

The universe in the dark is beautiful.

Shangping looked through the hard transparent ship window, looking at the night sky from the land, and being in it is a completely different concept.He couldn't help but think of a beautiful legend deep in his memory. At that time, the earth was still his home, and on the moon that carried people's beautiful fantasies, the Guanghan fairy danced lightly. Under the laurel tree, was a snow-white jade?rabbit……

"Chang'e, Guanghan Palace... nowadays, even fantasies are a luxury." However, once thinking of these, what comes to mind is Solan Edrich's face.Shang Ping couldn't help shaking, the association was too weird.

"Your Excellency Commander?"

"It's nothing."

Shang Ping closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no trace of superfluous emotion in his brown eyes.

The staff officer returned to the flagship, and most of the Mars spacefleet had been allowed to leave, after self-destructing the turrets.These disarmed warships are like tigers with their fangs pulled out, just a group of heavily armored guys.In the encirclement circle that opened a passage, Mars battleships kept leaving one after another, and they were allowed to return to Mars. The Deco galaxy fleet would not attack them, nor would they coerce them in the name of "guardian". Shang Ping promised not to Will land on Mars, not a single warship in the Deco galaxy fleet will disobey the order of the flagship.

Finally, the encirclement continued to shrink, and only a few hundred warships were trapped among the combat mechas and engineer mechas. A huge flagship was very eye-catching. The logo of the Sous family was engraved on the side of the hull, showing that these rejections The warships and soldiers who laid down their weapons belonged entirely to David South. To be precise, they belonged to the South family.This is not surprising, even in the fully militarized Mars military government, class and private armed forces have never disappeared.

"Your Excellency, they refuse to lay down their weapons."

Staff officer Roger's voice was flat and impersonal. He was just stating a fact, and he didn't even mean to give Shang Ping any advice.

"Oh."

Shang Ping leaned on the back of the chair, and he couldn't distinguish his current mood, either happy or sad, or maybe it should be said that he didn't feel anything right now.But he knows that things must have a result, and this result has already been doomed.Before that, though, he still had something to do.

"Contact the other party's flagship."

"Yes!"

The dexterous fingers of the communicator were flying on the keyboard, and the signal from the flagship of the Mars Space Fleet was not difficult to intercept, as long as no engineer mecha or battle mech suddenly turned on the magnetic interference.

David South still maintained his military demeanor. When his image appeared on the screen, Shang Ping had to admit that he was a qualified soldier no matter what.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief."

"Hello." David South's voice still carried the smoke of the battlefield, hoarse and indifferent, "If you want me to give up resistance, then I don't have to."

"No." Shang Ping shook his head, looked at David South with a very delicate expression, and said, "I just want to confirm one thing with you."

"Please speak." David South maintained military etiquette, even though it was all meaningless.

"Twelve years ago, what happened at the Kanon military fortress, were you a participant or the mastermind?"

David South froze for a moment, his expression loosened for a moment. It was only a moment, but it did not escape Shang Ping's eyes.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"Yes." Shang Ping smiled, leaned forward slightly, rested his elbows on the table, clasped his fingers, and rested his chin. He looked at David South with a not-so-serious attitude, and said, "If You still remember what happened 12 years ago, then, can you tell me that at that time, it was you who gave the order of 'standby' to the three fleets?"

"Yes." There was a trace of hesitation in David South's voice, but he did not deny it.

"Did you know they were going to die?"

"..."

"You know that, don't you?"

"……Yes."

"Oh, thank you."

Shang Ping smiled, stood up, and walked to the screen, with deep brown eyes, "I want to tell you that my father and mother are both Marsians, and they served in the Mars Army. In the fleet. Unfortunately, both my mother and my unborn sister died in the military fortress of Khanom. Even more unfortunate, my father did not die. it's here."

"...Is this why you betrayed Mars?"

"This question is a bit complicated to explain." Shang Ping tapped his forehead, "Speaking of which, standing here now is definitely much better than my father standing here."

"Shameless excuse."

"Think what you will, it doesn't matter."

Shang Ping shrugged his shoulders. The staff officer glanced at the commander in surprise. It was the first time he saw Shang Ping so relaxed. Maybe it was because his time with Shang Ping was too short that in his impression, The current lord of the Deco galaxy is not as mature and sensible as a 16-year-old boy.

"You will be a disgrace to all Marsians!"

"Mars?" Shang Ping shook his head, looking at the vast universe on the split screen next to David South's image, "Before this planet was named Mars, or this galaxy was named the Muse Galaxy, Perhaps there were also beings who cursed the invaders at that time in the same way. Of course, I am not qualified to say these words. However, the only thing I can guarantee is that this galaxy has only changed its master in name, rather than completely annihilating civilization after the bloody .”

David South no longer refuted, but obviously, he did not agree with Shang Ping's words.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree with me. I don't intend to prove anything. It's too shameless. However, I will treat you as a real soldier. Apart from other things, you are indeed a respectable soldier. "

Shang Ping had already got the answer he wanted, and he didn't want to continue entanglement.Signal the correspondent to end the conversation, and send the last order to ask the other party to give up resistance, although knowing that it is futile.

Five minutes later, the engineer mechs and most of the battle mechs surrounding the Mars battleship were all evacuated, and the remaining black humanoid battle mechas turned on their accelerators, and the laser cannons on their shoulders were set up at the same time. As if tearing at the battleship that was dying to resist, the flowers of death and destruction bloomed silently. Shang Ping turned his head, not intending to watch this battle that had nothing to do with evenly matched forces. In only 5 minutes, only the wreckage of the battleship remained The cruising black humanoid battle mech and the cruiser going to clean up the battlefield.

"ended."

Shang Ping sighed, not feeling relaxed at all.

At this moment, the Muse galaxy is unusually calm, and the Federation of Free Cities and the Republic of Seth have not suffered any losses, except for the black battleship entrenched in the sky, the tension of the people living here slowly began to relax, and Mars , after welcoming back his own space fleet, he felt that defeat was coming again.Chief Executive Martin has no time to take care of David South. The news of his death has not been reported to Mars, but everyone knows that there is no possibility of him surviving.

"The government announcement has been issued. Martin, will the other party really keep their promise and not land in Mars?"

"We can only believe so, provided we also keep our promises."

Martin's face was ugly, and his anxiety and worry made him look ten years older in a short period of time.The military personnel are currently leaderless and have lost their vigor. The people of Mars have always only known that their fleet is galloping in the universe, and they have never thought about what it would be like if their planet was occupied by humans. Buffer time, even if Shang Ping regrets it, there is still time for him to make arrangements.

"Forget it." Martin rubbed his face fiercely, trying to pull himself together, "The main job now is to appease the people's emotions. Has the war damage statistics been calculated yet?"

What worried Martin was that the soldiers who accompanied the fleet this time included a large number of military school cadets. According to preliminary statistics, about 60.00% of the children died in battle.The Mars may be proud of dying in battle, but they are not monsters without blood or tears. It is a duty and an honor for professional soldiers to die in battle. For underage children... Martin himself is the father of two children, he knows this This kind of misfortune can drive people crazy.

"Who is to blame? The damned invader?"

Martin sneered. He didn't think that Mars's cleansing of the colonized planet was a bad thing before, but now he is always worried that this fate will happen to him. It can be said that it is not ironic.

"Master Consul, Liu Xi, President of the Seth Republic, has requested to speak to you."

"Liu Xi?"

Martin froze.

Commonwealth of Free Cities

The Deco galaxy fleet entered the route of the Muse galaxy, leaving some warships stationed in the airspace of the Seth Republic, directly crossing the fourth planet Mars, and entering the sky over the Federation of Free Cities.

The third planet of the Muse galaxy γ seems to be shrouded in a huge dark cloud. These natural businessmen don’t seem to regard the black battleship entrenched in the sky as a threat. Some even waved their hands in a good mood. After thousands of years of continuation, They have already formed their own special values ​​and life system. They have not colonized planets, but the wealth in their hands allows them to buy any small planet.Compared with Mars and Seth, they have a thinner concept of the country. It is precisely because of this that Goodwill took the lead in sharing love with Jia?Derich contacted, also received very good results.Of course, because they put too much energy into making money and enjoying themselves, they have no time to develop their own military power, but the merchants of the Federation of Free Cities don't care about this.

Aika?Derich has announced the conditions proposed by Shangping to the entire planet. After confirming that his life is not in danger and his interests will not be violated, the businessmen of the Federation of Free Cities did not have much reaction.Therefore, Shang Ping chose to land on the third planet instead of the Republic of Seth, which also fell to the Deco Galaxy Fleet.

As long as there are enough interests, these people can sell their souls to the devil, this is what Shang Ping taught Shang Ping.Now, Shang Ping will truly experience how much power and wealth are things that people desire.

Aika?Derich was wearing a dark blue court-style dress, his long gray hair was tied up in a high bun, and a gold hairpin inlaid with sapphires shone in his hair.Seeing Shang Ping stepping down from the flagship, she seemed to be taken aback for a moment. Although she knew that the commander of this fleet was very young, she never expected that he would be so young.A fleet commander who is less than 20 years old?

"Beautiful lady, nice to meet you."

The devil's etiquette training has played an important role at this moment, Shang Ping is polite and obsessed with Aijia?Derich's hand, lowered his head, and the warm breath was fleeting on the back of the snow-white hand.Aika?Delic was very satisfied with Shang Ping's politeness, and even more satisfied with his face which was half or half similar to Shang Yu's.

It seems that the conditions that Goodwill promised her should not be just empty words.

Aika?Derich welcomed Shang Ping and his party into the Lord's Mansion with a smile on his face, followed by some powerful figures from the Federation of Free Cities.

Mars and Seth had different reactions to Shangping leading the fleet to the Federation of Free Cities. Mars breathed a sigh of relief, while Liu Xi, the president of the Republic of Seth, fell into deep thought. After contacting Martin, Liu Xi thought, I have to reposition Shang Ping as a person.

Capital of the Golden Empire, Ivanhof

Soran Edrich accepted the wedding charter presented by the court ceremonial officer, and was very satisfied with the ceremonial officer's preparations for the wedding. Only the queen of the empire is eligible for a wedding prepared according to this specification.

"Your Majesty, due to the rush of time and Lord Deco leading the army, it is best to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Well, I understand." Soran Edrich nodded, "After the financial officer has reviewed it, prepare according to this charter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
