interstellar fairy tale

On the abandoned Royce artificial celestial body, teams of engineers are driving robots busy working around the celestial body at a distance of [-] kilometers as a place for exchanging captives between the Canon military fortress and the Golden Empire fleet. In addition, the colonel, or Commander Terry, did not want any changes in this short half-day period. As for the plans of those people from distant alien galaxies, it was not within their consideration at this time.

"Just to send home two children—no, two brave warriors of Mars!"

In front of the communication screen, Colonel Edgar put his hands behind his back, with a straight military posture and straddled his legs. Commander Terry, who occupies half of the screen, lost the mood to tease Colonel Edgar's nervous appearance.Their bushy eyebrows frowned, they abandoned all conspiracies and tricks at this moment, and wholeheartedly hoped that the other party would be just like themselves, and they simply came to the Royce artificial celestial body to exchange prisoners of war, that's all.

"I don't feel good, Austin."

Leaning against the alloy wall outside the command cabin, Zuo Jia grabbed his military cap and kneaded it, his thick lips almost pursed into a straight line, "It's really bad."

"why?"

Contrary to Zuo Jia, Austin swept away the anxiety of the past few days, with a rare relaxed smile on his handsome face.

"Anyway, Shang Ping and Lochte are coming back, think about the appearance of those two guys, maybe they will have tears in their eyes the moment they set foot on the battleship."

"what……"

Zuo Jia laughed involuntarily. Putting Shang Ping aside, that boy Lochte has tears in his eyes?Imagine rubbing your arms together involuntarily.

"I swear to Madoff White! I would rather fly a fighter jet to fight the enemy than see Lochte with tears and snot flying all over his face!"

Left the good story behind, he didn’t want to see Austin South holding back his smile, turned around, and strode away.

However, it is impossible for Zuo Jia at this moment to know that in the years to come, he will have to pay the price for this unintentional remark for a long time in the future. Of course, that will be a long time later.

In the command cabin, Colonel Edgar had finished his brief conversation with Commander Terry. Next, he had to concentrate on dealing with the upcoming Golden Empire fleet.The picture on the screen switched to Novi and his group who were temporarily imprisoned. These "guests" from the alien system had no sense of being captured at all. During the period of imprisonment, they seemed certain that they would be released eventually, especially these The commander of the people, he is not like a soldier, but more like a politician of noble origin.This made Edgar involuntarily feel disgusted with Novi. From the beginning to the end, Colonel Edgar did not say a word to Novi face to face, even after learning of Novi's rank of marshal.

"Master Colonel, you are too willful."

The newly promoted adjutant Derek had to point out some shortcomings of the commander. This brave and skilled fleet commander sometimes had an incomprehensible childishness.

"so what?"

Colonel Edgar was not offended by the adjutant's somewhat outrageous accusations, even though they were not familiar with them.

"Just because of his rank? Even if he is a marshal, that doesn't mean he won't be a waste..."

"Master Colonel, you are prejudiced."

"Just treat it as a prejudice. My adjutant, instead of entangled with your chief, you should concentrate on your work. This report is to be sent back to the capital. Even if it is a dictatorship, there is freedom of speech." yes, isn't it?"

After saying that, Colonel Edgar turned around and waved his back to Adjutant Derek. The poor upright young man could only cry without tears at the documents that should have been completed by Colonel Edgar.

Just as the Mars Space Fleet was methodically deploying safety detection instruments around the Royce artificial celestial body, thousands of huge black warships were approaching them at an extremely fast speed.

Soran Aldrich did not come in person, no matter from which point of view, his appearance in this fleet is out of date and without reason.Those who came instead of Solan Edrich were Admiral Harlan Edrich and Lieutenant General Metz. Admiral Ida stayed behind in the artificial celestial body, and just returned a secret report from the capital of the empire. It seems that Queen Yilan Your Majesty is already impatient to play the virtuous and generous wife of Heine III. Before announcing the news of Heine III's illness, His Majesty's favorite lover, Princess Aifu, her brother and the brothers and sisters around her The party members have already been secretly arrested with lightning speed. Although they will not be imprisoned immediately, at least, Her Majesty, who has swallowed her anger for a while, can finally show her identity to the woman who challenged her authority without any scruples. What kind of iron fist and ruthless means does the most powerful woman in the universe's largest empire possess.

Soran Aldrich obviously thought his mother's impatience was a bit unbelievable, it shouldn't be the reckless behavior of the elegant woman who taught him how to behave in the royal family.

What happened?

The first prince of the empire rested his chin on one hand, he couldn't let his mother be so willful, before he ascended the throne.Even if the result of the matter is unshakable, it doesn't mean that he can sit back and relax.At least, the nobles and troops loyal to Heine III are not just those in the capital.

"Ida..."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

For the first time, Soran Aldrich showed his ambitious and ruthless side in front of Ida. With a voice like ice crystals colliding, he gave a few orders full of blood and killing to his loyal subordinates. The admiral did not show the slightest hesitation, as if the killing was about to start, but it was just a sideshow after dinner.

Yes, after Harlan and Metz went to Royce to exchange prisoners and brought Marshal Norvi back, Solan Edrich, the first prince of the Golden Empire, would lead his heartfelt subordinates and a huge fleet, Return to the capital of the Golden Empire!

He's going to take everything that's rightfully his!And the previous series of actions of His Majesty the Emperor were nothing more than a farce in the middle of the field.He will reach the pinnacle of power, but before that, all factors of instability need to be eradicated.

Admiral Ida took the order to go to a royal private galaxy territory belonging to Heine III in the middle of the empire, where Heine III’s private army was stationed. After that, they will all be gifted with such a galaxy, where the people and army completely belong to them.When Haini III seized the throne, he ignored the power of the previous emperor, and was almost overthrown by the power of the previous emperor. A dishonorable sum.

Soran Edrich didn't allow himself to make such a mistake, so, from the very beginning, he had to kill the bud.

Shang Ping and Lochte were taken to Harlan's flagship, perhaps because they belonged to the royal family of Edrich. On Harlan's flagship, Shang Ping could also feel the aura similar to that of Soran Edrich. He ostrich thought that perhaps it was Haran and Solan's somewhat similar temperament that gave him this illusion, and he firmly denied that it was the time spent together that made the silver-haired prince leave an indelible impression in his mind. shadow.

Of course, Shang Ping will never involve this inexplicable feeling in feelings like admiration. After rebirth, Shang Ping does not think that he will become a patient of Stockholm Syndrome foolishly.

However, he couldn't explain what the loss and panic in his heart represented.

Could it be because he did such a disgraceful thing as a captive?

No.

Shang Ping shook his head. If Uncle Edgar knew what he was thinking at the moment, he might point to his nose and laugh until his stomach hurts.

After the fleet entered the designated channel, Harlan Edrich ordered the fleet to advance in a dense formation, and Vice Admiral Metz's flagship turned around and landed at the end of the fleet. In this way, the huge fleet formed a particle bomb-like shuttle. Seeing the dense spot of light from the glowing screen, Colonel Edgar couldn't help but gasp, even though he was mentally prepared.

Thinking of the tragic battle before, Hansen, Apollo...

When those comrades who died in battle saw this group of huge black monsters again, Colonel Edgar clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Shang Ping and Lochte were allowed to walk out of the cabin where they were held, and brought them to Harlan Edrich's command cabin. On the screen, Colonel Edgar's handsome face without the slightest smile stood side by side behind his shoulder. Austin and Zuo Jia.In addition, it is Novi and his party who are the protagonists of this exchange of prisoners.

Lochte couldn't restrain his slightly trembling shoulders. If Shang Ping hadn't held his hand tightly, the big boy might have whimpered.

Excitement, hesitation, joy, astonishment, loss...

All kinds of emotions hit Shang Ping at the same time, he didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment, or he just kept his expressionless face until he went home...

Yes, go home!

Finally, Shang Ping couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. At this moment, even seeing those familiar faces through the screen gave Shang Ping a feeling similar to peace of mind.Even if he didn't really set foot on his own warship, even if he didn't really hold Uncle Edgar's hand, Shang Ping no longer had the anxiety and worry about gains and losses that he had before.

Whether it is cowardice or responsibility, even a steel warrior who has died a hundred times on the battlefield cannot ask him to treat his life as a child's play.

Shang Ping has never felt like this moment, it's good to be alive!
