MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 54
Mars, the fourth planet of the Muse system
The commander-in-chief of the Mars Universe Fleet, David Soth, in uniform, had a frosty face. He had just received news that the four fleets stationed at the Kanon military fortress had a head-on encounter with the alien fleet from the Golden Empire two hours ago.
"Martin, we can't go on like this!"
David Soth slammed his hands on the long conference table. In the conference room, Martin, the chief executive of Mars, clasped his hands, and kept his chin in silence. The others had just returned from the colony galaxy. Mars's near-term commander of the cosmos fleet also looked dignified, but was unable to make a certain decision immediately. They were soldiers and they had to obey, but they also seemed to get agitated and confused when they could make decisions to order their generals to lose their cool.
This situation is very dangerous for Mars.
"We can't continue to sit still!"
The Seventh Fleet Commander Camus stood up. Different from other commanders with outstanding military exploits, Camus was a 29-year-old Sven young man who had just been promoted to lieutenant colonel. Just looking at his short light gray hair and not very strong stature, it is completely unimaginable that he can riot in the colonial galaxy where the Seventh Fleet is stationed. After the former fleet commander died due to wrong orders and stubbornness, he shouldered the burden. He took command of the entire fleet and succeeded in suppressing the almost uncontrollable insurrection. At that time, the young man who served as the staff of the Seventh Fleet Commander was only a captain.
In the entire Mars cosmos fleet, even the promotion speed of Colonel Edgar, who is admired by most people, is not as fast as this young man.
However, apart from the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Fleet, the soldiers of the other fleets did not have much affection for this young man who was promoted to commander by leapfrog, not only because of Camus’s speculative performance, but also because his surname was Derich.
Yes, Derich, just like that engraved on the third planet gamma's Aika? Derich, Ben with Madoff Military Cadet? Derich, the Derich family, is not appreciated by most of Mars' powerful figures, even if they can give everything for their planet. Perhaps, this is also some kind of malpractice under Mars' military regime. Jagged soldiers, advocating the dignity of blood and battleship artillery, and unable to spread the shadow of conspiracy under the light, will always make them feel uncomfortable. Although darkness is an essential existence as opposed to light.
"...The situation is extremely serious! If the Kanon military fortress cannot be given enough military support, once the Kanon is defeated, then not only Mars or Seth, but the entire Muse galaxy will be nakedly exposed to outsiders. Under the light cannon!"
"However, we can't know the current situation of the battle! What will be the consequences of rushing reinforcements, and how can we guarantee it?!"
"Can't you just sit here and do nothing?!"
…
"Camus, I see what you mean."
Archon Martin finally gave up his silence. Compared with these fleet soldiers who had just returned to Mars from the colonial galaxy, he and David Thors were more aware of how powerful and terrifying the enemy at the Kanon Military Fortress was at the moment.
It was only two hours after the war started that the news was transmitted to Mars. It can be seen that the other party has blocked the connection between Mars and Canon. What is even more terrifying is that these aliens are very likely to have mastered Mars. Once the guess is true about the bands and passwords used to transmit messages between the space fleets, even if the Kanon military fortress can defend the dignity of Mars soldiers to the death like the oath made in the telegram, everything will be of no avail. David Soth's adjutant Joe walked into the conference room with a dignified face, and sent a newly received telecommunication to David Soth and Martin. David ordered Joe to read the contents of the telecommunication.
"...Colonel Apollo, died in battle; Colonel Lord, died in battle; Colonel Hansen, died in battle... Colonel Edgar commanded the entire fleet... Commander Terry said, soldiers, only die!"
The last word fell, and there was silence in the conference room.
"I order!"
"Yes, Lord Archon!"
As Consul Martin stood up, the soldiers in the conference room swept away the anxiety just now, and at the same time they got up, they all turned their attention to Martin, including David South.
"Fourth. Seventh, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth fleets, immediately go to reinforce the Kanon military fortress! At the same time, President Liu Xi and Marshal Helu of the Republic of Telecommunications Seth ask them to immediately send a fleet to support Kanon at this moment!"
"Yes! Lord Archon!"
"But, Archon..."
These soldiers had to obey orders, but they were still worried about Mars' safety. Almost all the fleet was dispatched. No one knew better than them what that meant. What's more, the Republic of Seth? That group of people clamoring for a democratic republic all day long, and when they really need to fight with their so-called free will, they are not much better than a group of cowardly lambs.
"Don't worry." Executive Martin exchanged a glance with David South, which was the agreement they had reached with Liu Xi, no matter whether the young president could really hold Seth's national power, at least, with Liu Xi Now, Marshal Helu will never turn a blind eye to the crisis at this moment. Royce has been taken away. Once the Canon at this moment is destroyed, what will be waiting for all the human beings in the Muse galaxy is self-evident.
Moreover, an ominous thought surged in Martin and David South at the same time, hoping that it would be too late.
The siren of Hercules, the capital of Mars, resounded in the sky again, including the fleet officers and soldiers who had not had time to rest. All of them were ready to go according to the order. One spaceship after another slowly lifted off, and the sound of the engines and the gusting wind blew again. Over the Madoff Military Academy.
John Jonathan, a young man with brown hair, sat cross-legged on the grass with his back against the tree trunk, raised his hand, half-shielded the dazzling sunlight, looked at the space battleship that covered the sky and flew over, biting his lips, Shang Ping, you brat is really worrying!
Zhou Ting and Joseph walked behind John and patted John on the shoulder, "John, why are you still here? Principal Gus announced that a school meeting will be held."
"That nasty politician!"
John Jonathan stood up, patted off the grass clippings from his body, and complained in a low voice: "There has never been any president of the Madoff Military Academy who likes to talk so much in front of the entire school! Didn't he realize that he was Wasting our time? I'd rather stay in the one-man fighter practice bay all day than take his spit!"
Zhou Ting and Joseph shrugged their shoulders and had to admit that they agreed with John's words very much, and they didn't agree with them at all. Maybe all the students in the school had the same idea as them, but no one said it alone.
Principal Gus, who was complained by several teenagers, was standing at the window of the principal's room, looking at the space battleship flying through the sky. His fat and bloated body blocked the sunlight that came into the room from the window.
It looks bad. However, this may be an opportunity for him...
When the Mars Space Fleet reinforcements rushed from Mars to the space battlefield at the fastest speed, Shang Ping and Rochette at the moment were "invited" out of the single-person fighter jets, disarmed, and went through three rigorous inspections. After the full body scan, Shang Ping and Rochette were locked in one room, surrounded by unrecognizable walls similar to alloy steel on three sides. After the door was closed, the two teenagers couldn't do anything except look at each other.
What made Shang Ping and Rochette even more incredible was that there was not even a table or a chair in the room! It's not like a prison cell, it's more like a sealed jar!
"I want to protest to them, this is prisoner abuse!"
Shang Ping shouted angrily, then walked to the side and sat down against the wall, with one leg bent, one arm resting on his knee, his chin resting on his arm, but the expression on his face did not show the slightest worry.
"Shang Ping, are you sure you're not joking?"
Lochte looked at Shang Ping as if he saw a one-man fighter jet suddenly turned into a space cruiser.
"Ah, I'm joking, you see it all? Rochette, you're so smart."
"Don't speak Prehistoric Earth to me again! We should find a way to escape!"
"Lochette, I support you in spirit! Let go and do it!"
"Shang Ping, I want to beat you up!"
"What a coincidence, John said that too. By the way, do you know John? John Jonathan, a lovely big brunette."
"…"
Rochette was very doubtful that the next moment his forehead would burst into blue veins, and he raised his fist to look good on the black-haired boy opposite. It was very hard to believe that not long ago, this black-haired boy was his dream lover!
"Lochte," Shang Ping lowered his eyes and said to Lochte in a low voice, "Perhaps you will think that I am cowardly, but I have to tell you that this situation is the best I can imagine. It worked. At least we're still alive."
"Shang Ping, sorry, I..."
"No need to apologize. Rochette, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, a person, or a soldier, an army, its capabilities are not infinite. Just like Mars's space fleet, the invincible battles in the past, in the face of more A powerful enemy, but no defense. And a powerful enemy that put the Mars fleet in trouble, was disrupted by our two newbies who had just entered the army. Isn't it fun?"
After listening to the first half of Shang Ping's words, Rochette began to reflect on himself. After listening to the whole paragraph of Shang Ping's words, Rochette felt that he was an idiot when he began to reflect on himself.
So, let's beat this black-haired boy.
Harlan stood in front of the screen in the command module, because Shang Ping and Rochette suddenly attacked, and had missed the best time to transport the Royce artificial celestial body to the planetary orbit. Even if the sappers were ordered to repair the humanoid mecha as quickly as possible, they would not be able to reach the orbit of the eighth planet in the galaxy ahead within an hour. In the end, Harlan chose to abandon the plan.
"Your Excellency, should you report to His Highness before making a decision?"
"No need." Harlan shook his head, "Although Your Highness is stubborn at times, he doesn't like to waste time on things that cannot be done."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Jerhard. Order all the warships to abandon the artificial celestial body and annihilate all the opposing fleets... No, leave the flagship with the eagle logo."
"So, what about those who remain in the celestial bodies?"
"Gerhard, you shouldn't have asked me."
It was a group of people who betrayed their own galaxy, so let them stay there. From the beginning, they existed as abandoned children. Since it has no use value, then there is no need to worry about it.
Harlan moved his finger, and the huge screen was divided into several pieces. In the center, was the Golden Empire's black fleet that had received an order from the flagship and began to sweep the battlefield. In the upper left corner was the Royce artificial celestial body that had stopped advancing and was destroyed. The humanoid mecha with leg joints is being pulled back by the other two humanoid mechas and five warships. At the bottom are Shang Ping and Lochte who are talking.
Harlan's gaze swept across Lochte, paused for two seconds, and finally landed on the black-haired boy. Shang Ping's words just now entered his ears word for word. This young man is the one who can understand the weaknesses of humanoid mechas and make use of them. In the case of an absolute disadvantage, he disrupted all plans by himself.
If you can give this boy absolutely powerful support, maybe...
Harlan's amber eyes stared at Shang Ping, as if he was expecting him to continue to say something that surprised him. Involuntarily, Harlan thought of the fleet commander who had a relationship with him, who was a very attractive man. Something on this black-haired boy seemed to be somewhat similar to that man.
At this time, the flagship received a telegram from Soran Edrich, and the bust of the silver-haired prince appeared on the screen. Harlan cut off the pictures of Shang Ping and Rochette. His Royal Highness did not tell Harlando because of the failure of the plan. To blame, perhaps because Novi, who stayed on Planet γ, finally showed enough loyalty to His Royal Highness, Soran Edrich seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Admiral Harlan, go back immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"While I don't think there's any point in blaming you, you have to take responsibility for your actions."
"His Royal Highness, for the failure of this plan, I will explain to you after returning to the celestial body."
Soran Edrich raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, nodded, the screen was interrupted, Harlan raised his head, his amber hair hung down his shoulders, Gerhard stood behind Harlan, the willfulness of these superiors is really very Incomprehensible.
Regarding the sudden retreat of the Golden Empire's space fleet, the Mars officers and soldiers who survived had no feeling of escaping. After the short but brutal battle just now, they lost three excellent commanders, thousands of excellent soldiers, the wreckage of the damaged battleship floated in the universe like a ghost in the dark night, and the debris of the single-man fighter jet was mixed with In it, and the mutilated, almost unrecognizable corpse fragments, no Marthian would be willing to face such a scene. Rather than being thrown on the battlefield like this, they would rather die in battle like a colleague!
"Lord Colonel..."
In the flagship of the Sixth Fleet, Colonel Edgar fought in front of the screen without saying a word, his eyes were dark, and there was no trace of emotion in his dark eyes.
"Lord Colonel..."
The adjutant made a sound again, and Colonel Edgar turned his head to look at the worried young soldier. The next second, just when the adjutant thought he would make a sound, he persisted in the entire battle until the last Colonel Edgar, but He suddenly fell and fell heavily to the ground. Paled face.
Everyone in the command cabin was stunned by this scene. When the adjutant yelled at the doctor, he woke up from the shock and widened his eyes in horror. After losing Colonel Apollo, Colonel Lord, and Colonel Hansen in succession , the fall of Colonel Edgar was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
Everyone present looked at each other and finally made up their minds to completely hide the fact that Colonel Edgar fainted before returning to Canon.
Shang Ping, who is being taken by Harlan's flagship to an unknown celestial body, is unaware of Colonel Edgar's fall and what is happening in the Muse galaxy. He just silently prayed for the safety of Colonel Edgar and Austin...
