interstellar fairy tale

It was already the afternoon of the second day when Colonel Edgar woke up from a coma.

The red-haired doctor Rosa pushed open the door of the ward, and the colonel with a blank face was looking at the scale on the infusion bottle beside him, as if he couldn't understand why he needed such a thing.

"Master Colonel, are you awake?"

Rosa put her hands in the pockets of her white robe, walked to the bed, pressed the blue button next to the hospital bed, and a smart brain board showing Colonel Edgar's current physical condition rose from the table, carefully recording the numbers on it. Information, Rosa nodded, "Master Colonel, you are just too excited and tense, and you will faint when you suddenly relax after being too tired. You can recover after a few days of rest."

faint?

Colonel Edgar held his forehead, and there was a momentary blank in memory, and then it gushed out like a tide, interwoven into a network of particle cannons and laser beams, fleets trapped in enemy lines, battleships that exploded, fighter jets rushing to the place without hesitation, explosions The dazzling light, Lord who disappeared into the universe along with the battleship, Apollo who rushed to the front with a single-man fighter, and... Hansen...

The ward suddenly fell into a terrible silent atmosphere, only the brain light board in front of the bed occasionally made a ticking sound.

Edgar bowed his head deeply, his eyes were blocked by the drooping forehead hair, and the dark and unclear colors flashed through his eyes.

Rosa sighed, and left the ward without saying a word. After Rosa left, Colonel Edgar maintained the same posture and sat on the hospital bed for the entire afternoon, without moving.The adjutants who came to visit him, as well as the fleet commanders who came to support from the capital of Mars, Hercules, and arrived not long ago, were all turned away.Rosa didn't understand why she made her own claim and lied that Colonel Edgar hadn't woken up yet. She just intuitively believed that Colonel Edgar didn't want to see anyone at this moment.

Except maybe one person...

However, the only possibility is that the black-haired boy who went to the battlefield just after he reported to the fleet, his life and death are uncertain at this moment, and he may have been buried in the universe.Rosa didn't dare to have too much hope. She couldn't deny her affection for Colonel Edgar. Because of this, she decided to temporarily hide the news.As for how long she can hide it, Rosa is not sure.

Colonel Edgar's waking up can't change anything, just like the arrival of the fourth, seventh, ninth, No.11, and No.12 fleets can't really compete with the Golden Empire space fleet militarily.Of course, these fleet officers and soldiers who have never encountered the enemy fleet face-to-face obviously haven’t really understood the horror and cruelty of those visitors from the alien system. The officers and soldiers of the Mars fleet who have experienced two battles not long ago lost three outstanding fleet After the commander, walking in the fortress, he could not have any goodwill or trust for these colleagues who had just arrived, did not understand the situation at all, and were full of bravery and strategy.

"Perhaps, I really should have died in that war..."

A surviving soldier of the Third Fleet leaned against the dilapidated single-man fighter, lowered his head, and looked at the soldier in his hand to identify the smart card. the next thing.

Looking up and closing his eyes, the soldier did not shed a single tear after all.He clenched the smart identification card in his hand, and the sharp edges pierced the pain in his palm, making him realize that he was still alive.

Austin South stood on the transmission bridge. After experiencing this battle, he has been promoted to a sergeant and officially became a non-commissioned officer in the Mars Space Fleet.Since Apollo, the commander of the [-]rd Fleet, Hansen, the commander of the [-]th Fleet, and Lord Lord, the commander of the [-]th Fleet, have all died in battle, and most of the warships of the three fleets have also been damaged. In reality, all the warships and soldiers of the Eighth Fleet and the Tenth Fleet of the Third Fleet were incorporated into the Sixth Fleet, including the Sixth Fleet, the Third Fleet, the Eighth Fleet, and the Tenth Fleet. Even if the soldiers who escaped death in the battlefield gather together, they can't make up the original size of a fleet.

At the moment, it can only be like this.

It's just that, compared to other soldiers, Austin South had a more anxious thought in his heart, which made him have to rush to see Colonel Edgar, the commander of the mixed fleet, as soon as he received the transfer order. He didn't get permission beforehand.

The teleportation bridge stopped in front of the military clinic in the fortress. Austin walked down the teleportation bridge, adjusted his military uniform, walked to the door, and knocked on the door. Colonel Edgar's voice came from the door: "Come in!"

"Report sir, Sergeant Austin South of the Sixth Fleet Fighter Detachment is reporting to you!"

Pushing open the door, Austin did not see Colonel Edgar on the hospital bed as expected. The tall man was standing in front of the window at the moment, leaning against the wall, with one arm around his chest, and the other holding a small memory card. The device, the cover of the device was opened, and a black-haired boy appeared impatiently holding a spatula.

With a soft snap, the lid was closed, and the phantom of the black-haired boy disappeared instantly. Austin suddenly felt breathless, looked at Colonel Edgar, and met a pair of clear eyes.

"Tell me about your reason for coming, Sergeant, you should know that according to the discipline of the Mars army, you should not be here now."

"Yes, sir, I have a reason..."

The Golden Empire space fleet led by Harlan has returned to the artificial celestial body where Soran Edrich is.After stepping off the flagship, Harlan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Your Excellency Giovanna?"

"Good day, Your Excellency."

Giovanna, dressed in an aristocratic dress, unswervingly carried out the old-fashioned etiquette of the imperial aristocrats in all details, even if it was so incompatible with the environment, this stubborn man still didn't care.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Although I really don't want to say hello to you in this situation, I can only ask you to forgive me."

Harlan respected Giovanna who was old enough to be his father, but this old-fashioned aristocrat really couldn't make the imperial princes headed by Soran Edrich truly accept him.

Perhaps, Giovanna, who is proud of being loyal to His Majesty Heine III, would not care what these young people think of him. This trip, he only wanted to convey the will of His Majesty Heine III, and at the same time convey the thoughts of Queen Yilan to His Royal Highness the First Prince Soran Aldrich.

His Majesty the Emperor was very troubled by the fact that the first prince stayed in the border galaxy for a long time and had no intention of returning to the empire. Even though he loved the Grand Princess Aifu, Heine III still remained somewhat wise in choosing his heir.The glory of the Golden Empire can only be inherited by Soran Edrich. Others simply cannot bear the burden of the entire empire.

Greed is not unforgivable. In comparison, greed, but unable to bear all the gains and accompanying responsibilities, is the most intolerable thing for Heine III.

Empress Yilan sees it very clearly, and most of the powerful elders of the empire also understand this very well. The only ones who can't see clearly are probably the Grand Princess Aifu who is dazed by the emperor's favor, and the group of speculators around Aifu. .

Giovanna's arrival didn't surprise Soran Edrich too much. He didn't think the raw ore of the Muse galaxy was a good excuse. At least, in the eyes of His Majesty, it took so much trouble just to A few pieces of ore, some are too fussy.If these ores are really so precious, wouldn't it be a faster way to simply include this galaxy directly into the empire's territory?

If there is a resistance, all the humans in the entire galaxy will be wiped out directly, why waste too much time?

"So, Date, you may know our Emperor better than I do."

Soran Edrich stood up, walked to the side of the teleportation bridge, and turned to look at Metz, who had been at odds with the old-fashioned nobles such as Giovanna, with an expression of impatience and disgust.

"Metz, I will leave it to you to receive Giovanna."

"Your Highness? You can't do this to me! Instead of facing that stubborn Giovanna, I would rather lead the fleet to wipe out a certain galaxy!"

"I can. So, you must obey orders."

Metz watched Solan and Ida walking up the teleportation bridge and walking away without a word. He had to think very darkly: Maybe His Highness is impatient to deal with that sanctimonious old man who is full of cunning and insidious?

Shang Ping woke up from the dream, stretched his waist, raised his head and saw Lochette with two rounds of dark circles under his eyes, sitting in the corner with his knees hugged, looking at him for a moment.Being stared at by such a pair of sad eyes mixed with unknown meaning, Shang Ping retracted his lazy waist halfway.

Well, he admitted that he lacked a little sense of tension, but it wouldn't be so bad that the handsome young man in front of him would stare at him like killing his father and enemy, right?

"Lochte, you look like you will pounce on me and bite me at any time."

"What if I say yes?"

"Excuse me, can you repeat that? I just woke up and my mind is not clear yet."

"..."

"Lochte, you always frown and grow old quickly, be happy."

"What interstellar joke are you talking about?! We are captives now, captives! Are you happy?"

"why not?"

Shang Ping bent one leg, combed the hair on his forehead with one hand, and slowly put away the smile on his face: "At least we are still alive, you should be grateful for this. Besides, the guy who caught us didn't intend to immediately Killed us, so you should be happy."

Compared with those comrades who lost their lives on the battlefield, they are much luckier.

Looking at Shang Ping, Lochte fell silent. He found that he couldn't see through Shang Ping, and he couldn't see through it more and more.

It took Soran Aldrich a little time to watch the instantaneous battle scene recorded by Harlan's flagship brain. On the screen, two single-man fighters were rushing towards the humanoid mecha at an extremely fast speed, leaping in the air and firing laser cannons , to find the landing point, the whole set of actions was done in one go, especially the fighter with the eagle logo engraved, the flying technique, the accuracy of firing the laser beam, and the angle of dodging the particle cannon were all impeccable.

"Harlan, is that your reason?"

"Yes."

Although Harlan lowered his body slightly, he still had a natural arrogance, "Your Highness, I don't deny that this situation was caused by my arrogance and negligence, but after the humanoid mech was damaged, it was already impossible to be on time. It would be unwise to waste time when transporting celestial bodies into planetary orbits."

"Well," Soran Edrich nodded, paused for a moment, looked at the one-man fighter that was frozen on the screen with icy blue eyes, and said suddenly: "Say, you capture both pilots." Living?"

"Yes."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I think that these two people, especially the one flying the single fighter on the right, have excellent potential and quality. You can take out their brains, copy cells, or directly implant memory, so that they can be used by you."

"so……"

The ice-blue eyes narrowed slightly, and Soran Edrich suddenly remembered the game-like battle he had seen not long ago. It was also a single-player fighter that reversed the entire battle situation. Two fighters, in the Solan's mind overlapped.

"I want to meet this man."

"Your Highness?"

"Harlan, bring these two people to me."

After leaving these words, Soran Aldrich turned and left Harlan's command cabin.
