MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 165
When President Seth Liu Xi announced his acceptance of the occupation of the Golden Empire Fleet, David South, the commander-in-chief of the Mars Space Fleet, was not in the government building. He and his wife Diana were in an independent manor located on the western outskirts of the Mars capital. This is a private estate belonging to the Soth family. Diana's health was not very good. The doctor advised her to recuperate. David Soth accompanied his wife to this private manor. The main building of the manor is a two-story villa. The hall on the first floor is very wide. The high second-story dome hangs down with luxurious crystal chandeliers. The stairs leading to the second floor are covered with wine-colored carpets. The portrait of the patriarch of the Si family, whether it is serious and powerful or handsome and suave, the people in the portrait have brilliant blonde hair and dark green eyes.
After receiving the message from Chief Executive Martin, David South was silent for a long time. Diana, who looked haggard, sat beside him and leaned lightly on his shoulder. Neither of the husband and wife spoke or comforted each other. Diana lost her smile because of Austin's disappearance, exhausted her energy but was helpless. At this moment, the bad news of the Imperial Fleet occupying the Republic of Seth was undoubtedly worse. The trace of luck that was still in place was immediately wiped out, and there could be nothing more saddening than this.
"David, what should we do?"
Archon Martin's voice sounded in the silence, and none of them expected the Imperial Fleet to come so suddenly and Seth to turn his back so quickly. They didn't even send a battleship and directly welcomed the enemy into the gate of their home! If Seth resisted even in a symbolic sense, Mars would not be so passive at the moment, they would have time to organize fleet reinforcements or defenses!
"David, are you listening?"
Martin no longer intends to hide his anxiety, and he never dreamed that one day, Mars, no, the Muse Galaxy, would fall into such a predicament. Even if they all failed in the previous confrontation with the imperial fleet, they still have confidence! This time, there was a problem within the galaxy. The arrival of the Imperial Fleet was silent and without any alarm. Seth unilaterally disbanded the alliance with Mars, and formed an alliance with the Free Trial Federation. After the appearance of the Imperial Fleet, he turned his back so much. Quick enough to prove it! It doesn't matter whether it is the Federation of Free Cities or the Republic of Seth, Mars is already at stake.
"I am here."
David South's voice was low and slightly hoarse, and he stood up without hesitation. Diana had brought the military coat and cap to him. David South's eyes were full of apologetics, "Darling, I'm sorry I can't accompany you anymore, I have to go back."
"It doesn't matter." Diana tidyed up the collar of the military jacket for David, rubbed the bright collar and epaulettes with her fingertips, and a bright smile like a summer flower bloomed on her pale face. Her beauty was only for her Her husband, "I'm here waiting for you, and also for our child."
"Well. Alexander and Ferrier..."
"I know that they are all soldiers of Mars. If there is a war, they must take responsibility. You are the same, my husband. I am proud of you."
Diana's voice was soft and firm. She stood quietly by the door and watched David Soth board the land car. David Soth looked back through the glass window until the shadow beside the door. Gradually blurred, out of sight.
Martin, who was waiting in the government building, was speeding by the land car, but received another shocking news. Just fifteen minutes ago, Aijia, the current ruler of the Free City Federation? Derich, announced to accept the garrison of the Golden Empire Fleet, the third planet of the Muse galaxy, and the first settlement after the earth human beings occupied the Muse. to their enemies!
Since then, Mars has been attacked by the enemy, either surrender or fight to the death, with no choice.
Martin's face was as heavy as iron, and he had no time to care about other things. Even if David South came back now, he could only choose between these two answers, and there was no third way for them to go!
Mars, what should I do...
Martin was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice David South pushing the door in. It wasn't until David knocked on the table a few times that he suddenly raised his head, looked at David South who was looking down at him, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.
"Why do you look like this?" David South frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Martin's loss of soul, his expression at the moment, like the end of the world is coming, things are not so bad, are they?
"Heh..." Martin smiled bitterly, rubbed his face hard, forced himself to cheer up, and said to David Soth, "Have you seen the message from the Free Cities Federation?"
"I see." David South motioned Martin to stand up and leave with him, "We're going to the central command room now, it's not the time to despair, things have already happened, we have to find a way to deal with it, it's still you Have you forgotten what you said?"
"It's hard for you to remember, it's been so long. Remember when we were still at the Madoff Military Academy, you, me, Escher..."
Speaking of this name, Martin paused and turned his head with a gloomy expression. He didn't intend to see what David South's expression was like now, and he couldn't be better than him. This is a name that has been buried deep in memory. The man who was comparable to David South has long since disappeared into the distant universe. Even his family was silent with his passing, and now few people remember this heroic soldier who led the Mars fleet and galloped in the universe more than ten years ago.
They used to be friends, but they had different choices and circumstances. Escher, regardless of his family background, ability, or military exploits, was on a par with David Soth. If he was still alive, today's Mars Space Fleet Commander in Chief...
David South strode forward, seemingly not hearing Martin's words, and Martin also kept silent. The two seemed to be side by side, but in fact, Martin was always half a step behind David South.
In the central command room, all the commanders of the Mars Space Fleet's squadrons, except Edgar and Charles, are all present. On the huge screen occupying the entire wall, it was pitch black at the moment, and occasionally a light and shadow slipped through. In front of the console, the operator and the CNC operator were busy working nervously, and the sweat dripping from their foreheads indicated that they were in trouble now.
David South and Martin entered the command room, and the commanders of the fleets stood up immediately, the dull sound of neat military boots and the tapping of the keyboard and buttons mixed together.
David South walked to the console with a blank expression and asked, "What happened?"
"Report to the commander-in-chief, five minutes ago, an unknown radio wave invaded the central control system, cutting off all working paths, causing the central control system to be paralyzed!"
"How long will it take to deal with it?"
If the central control system continues to be paralyzed, Mars Space Fleet will not be able to receive orders from the central command room at all, which is fatal to the fleet guarding the satellite ball.
"It's still uncertain..." The CNC operator's voice was a little uncertain, and then he exclaimed, and immediately pressed the headset, "There is a signal connected!"
His startled breath attracted everyone, and everyone's eyes converged on the screen in front of him at the same time. The image on the screen gradually became clear, and the black-haired boy in the golden and silver military uniform of the Golden Empire appeared in front of everyone in the command room.
He was sitting on a high-back chair decorated with ornate patterns, his black military boots wrapped his slender legs, his snow-white gloves were spotless, his brown eyes swept across the crowd in front of the screen, and finally landed on David South.
Seeing the person on the screen, David Thorston choked, he could hardly believe his eyes, he knew this black-haired boy! He is the adopted son of Major General Edgar and the lover of his youngest son Austin!
What exactly is going on? !
Sid? Major Hall and Chad? Major Mace stood behind Shang Ping, puzzled by the commander's silence, while Major Lu Dan still maintained an iceberg-like expression.
Finally, Shang Ping moved his fingers slightly, took a deep breath, stood up, stood upright in front of everyone, and said, "Good day, I am the commander of the Deco Galaxy fleet of the Golden Empire, Shang Ping."
Golden Empire, six hundred and seventy-eighth
The weather is fine, the breeze blows over the treetops, and the green leaves on the branches sway gently with the wind, creating a warm afternoon.
Edgar was sitting on a street bench, a few pigeons cooing, pecking at his feet the seeds scattered on the ground, Edgar clasped his hands, elbows on his legs, leaned over to see Looking at them, with a casual smile on his lips, he seemed to be intoxicated by this moment.
Goodwill stood not far away, watched him quietly for a while, walked over, and sat down beside him.
"There is news from the baby, only Mars is left."
Goodwill's words were a little vague, but Edgar immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. He still maintained his original posture, but the sudden emotional change still fell into Goodwill's eyes.
Goodwill leaned back on the bench seat, legs crossed, "Edgar, don't you want to say something?"
"what?"
Edgar turned his back to Goodwill and did not look back. His voice was calm, which surprised Goodwill.
"I thought you would at least get excited."
"No, maybe I will, now..." Edgar sneered, "I believe that he will do this, at least a hundred times stronger than you. After all, he will not kill innocent people, so you are not necessarily. ."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes." Edgar's tone was very determined, "I believe that the child I raised is a qualified soldier, not a guy whose reason is drowned out by revenge. Those who make mistakes need to pay a price, and they are not involved. Innocent people, this is the bottom line."
Goodwill shrugged noncommittally and ended the conversation.
Austin, who was in the library, knew nothing of all this, maybe he could guess, but refused to think about it. He raised his head, looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, and narrowed his eyes slightly. If destruction is inevitable, then, after destruction, there will still be new life.
Capital of the Golden Empire, Ivan Palace
Soran Edrich had a rare free afternoon. The government reform took most of his time. The servant sent the battle report from the Deco galaxy fleet. The emperor raised his lips and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The wind was blowing from the palace garden. Blowing through the emperor's long silver hair, the golden wagtail sang crisply in the garden.
