interstellar fairy tale

August [-], [-], Galactic Calendar

Standing in a corner of the flagship command cabin, Shang Ping looked up at the huge screen that occupied the entire wall, his eyes were extremely focused, as if seeing countless stars and planets twinkling in the dark universe for the first time. Most of them just disappeared in a flash. Before he saw those distant rays of light, or a long, long time ago, these beautiful planets had already turned into cosmic dust, and what was reflected in his eyes now was nothing more than what remained in the boundless universe. A shadow in the.

When Soran Edrich turned around, what he saw was the black-haired boy with confused eyes and slightly pursed lips, looking at the countless constellations on the screen in a daze.For some reason, Soran Edrich actually felt that the black-haired boy at this moment was very much like the golden wagtail he kept in the summer palace. There is a fierce little guy hidden who can confront the eagle.

Lieutenant General Metz signaled General Ida to look at His Royal Highness the first prince who suddenly lost his mind, and there seemed to be some indescribable curiosity in the corners of his eyes and brows.Admiral Date just looked up, then refocused his attention on the virtual light screen in front of him.Marshal Novi has just sent the news that a small merchant ship was carrying the Marshal and his sincere subordinates to fly to this artificial celestial body. On the way, it suddenly encountered cosmic turbulence and deviated from the established channel. The Royce artificial celestial body that was abandoned in the universe to fend for itself, Novi is fully aware of what happened to this celestial body before, but let the original plan to use this abandoned artificial celestial body to rest for a short time to avoid the turbulent flow again. The marshal who continued to sail was surprised that they actually detected signs of life on the celestial body!After turning around the celestial body, I was surprised to find that a mixed fleet with the logo of the Mars space fleet was conducting some amazing exercises in this abandoned artificial celestial body.

Marshal Novi and the soldiers of the Golden Empire are excellent, and when they realized the danger, they responded immediately.However, it is very unfortunate that with the help of sailing merchant ships, they have no way to avoid the radar and survey instruments of the opponent's fleet, and they are facing the same fleet composed of excellent soldiers.After losing the absolute advantage of the huge battleship and artillery construction, without any suspense, Marshal Novi and his sincere subordinates immediately became the captives of the Mars people.To Novi's great surprise, these Mars people had no intention of killing him and the soldiers of the Golden Empire Space Fleet or escorting him back to the country.Even though these people have fought against the Golden Empire Space Fleet several times, they have seen the appearance of the Golden Empire soldiers through video messages. From the appearance, words and deeds of Novi, it is completely possible to judge the identities of the people in this small merchant ship. This group of Mars The soldiers did nothing but point cold guns at them and lock them in the abandoned Royce artificial celestial body.

Of course, their treatment is not good, but at least they will not face death immediately.They weren't too restricted, they just couldn't be removed from the room where they were locked.

This is really not a good thing for Marshal Novi, who has always paid attention to noble etiquette and behavior.The next development of the matter really made Novi's premonition come true.

"Then, the great Marshal was allowed to contact us with a communicator?"

Lieutenant General Metz put one hand on Admiral Ida's shoulder and looked at the marshal in the virtual light screen, despite being captured and imprisoned, he was still well-dressed, with obvious sarcasm in his eyes.

Metz has always disliked Novi, just like he dislikes Giovanna. He hates these guys with old-fashioned aristocratic habits, even though Soran Edrich always indulges their arrogance and hypocrisy.

Admiral Ida just looked at Novi intently, until Novi finished speaking the last word, then raised his head and looked at Soran Edrich: "Your Highness, do you think you can agree?"

Soran Aldrich was in a daze from the very beginning, until Admiral Ida's voice called him back.Regarding the term "exchanging prisoners of war" that Novi said, Soran Edrich was unable to understand the intention of the other party in the first place.He is not sure how these Mars soldiers learned of Novi's identity in the Imperial Army. Although Novi himself has an officer temperament that cannot be ignored, as a nobleman, Novi is not just an imperial marshal. .If these Mars people really know the identity of Novi, what is their purpose, would they be willing to exchange a marshal and a dozen loyal soldiers of the Golden Empire under him for two inconspicuous teenagers? ?

Even though these two teenagers—no, or the black-haired boy had caused him more or less trouble before.

Is it really as he guessed?

Soran Edrich ignored the puzzled gazes of Lieutenant General Metz and Admiral Ida, and went straight to Shangping. Although he was allowed to stay in the command cabin, according to the imperial tradition, Shangping was still surrounded by Covered with a transparent magnetic field, isolating the three meters around him from all sounds from the outside world.He could only watch and talk to himself.Now he is like being locked in an invisible cage, isolating all sounds from the outside world, even if he can read lips, it is completely useless!According to the tradition of the Golden Empire, in the flagship command cabin, all military and combat-related news must be in the old aristocratic language of the Golden Empire. This is a special language that only circulates in the noble class of the empire—families with military blood.Even the royal family, as long as they haven't boarded a battleship, they can't understand even a word, a single word.

Shang Ping couldn't understand, but he still watched with great interest these "beauties" of the Golden Empire who were as exquisite as crystals talking about their topics silently, just like watching a wonderful mime.Until Soran Edrich walked in front of him, pressed a green button not far away, and released the cage around Shangping. Before Shangping could enjoy the sudden freedom, he was caught by a cold Clamping his chin with his hands, looking at the ice-blue eyes that were close at hand, Shang Ping sighed secretly. There was a very bad premonition. Obviously, His Royal Highness, who was icy, didn't seem to realize that his current behavior had begun to develop in a very strange direction. This should not be the attitude towards prisoners. At least, in Shang In Ping's knowledge, no one would treat a "captive" like this. As for Lochte who is still being held in the original cell and has not received the same treatment, Shang Ping automatically replaced the current situation of the two. The answer he got made him a little annoyed. Compared to him, he wanted to be imprisoned in that cell instead of Lochte, and let the boy who likes to think about it be pinched by this cold beauty instead of him. Even wanting to pull the corners of the mouth feels like a luxury.

"Perhaps, you are very precious."

Soran Edrich suddenly said something incomprehensible, and his fingertips brushed against the line of Shang Ping's jaw, leaving a cold mark on the boy's cheek.

Khanom Military Fortress

When Commander Terry received the report from Colonel Edgar, he almost lost his mind with anger. He set up a laser cannon to blast the head of a colonel who was leading a mixed fleet in an actual combat exercise!

Colonel Edgar, who was making the exercise plan for the next stage, suddenly shivered. Austin and Zuo Jia, who were standing beside him, looked at each other and chose to remain silent at the same time.

According to the plan, Colonel Edgar was supposed to lead this mixed fleet back to the Canon Military Fortress after completing the exercise. Unexpectedly, Ai Lu, who had almost caused disaster because of his recklessness, suddenly showed some kind of attitude toward Colonel Edgar. Almost like the worship of idiots.

Yes, idiot.

For the first time, Austin South used such indecent words to describe his comrades and colleagues.

Perhaps because of something Colonel Edgar said, Commander Terry did not drive these dudes out of the army for the time being, which caused Colonel Edgar's troubles at the moment.His current situation is more like a poor guy who is troubled by the enthusiasm of fanatical suitors and has nowhere to hide.

The sudden appearance of the small merchant ship captured the crew of the merchant ship. This seemingly ordinary emergency, while rescuing Colonel Edgar, also made Austin's mood soar.

Nothing more, after Colonel Edgar communicated with Commander-in-Chief David South, he confirmed the news sent back from the γ-planet city Freedom Federation, and also learned the true identities of people like Novi, which made Edgar In addition, the colonel did not care about it, and did not even apply to Commander Terry in advance, so he asked for the exchange of prisoners of war without authorization.

After Austin prayed that things would go well and that Shang Ping could return safely as soon as possible, a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.However, looking at Colonel Edgar, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

No matter what it is, as long as he thinks that Shang Ping can return safely, everything will be fine...
