MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 96

Lieutenant General Metz was displeased, and while walking with big strides, he took off his gloves and threw them to the attendant.

He should have gone to the frontier planet to quell the rebellion. The rebellion of the two star systems was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the young lieutenant general of the Empire. Those two governors whose heads were stuffed with wine and women, the organized rebel army, had ridiculously low combat effectiveness. But under the banner of liberating the people of the planet and freeing them from the heavy taxation of the empire, they have won support. As everyone knows, 80% of the heavy taxes in these galaxies are collected by the Governor without authorization. These two governors took the opportunity to take advantage of the change of imperial power, nothing more than worrying that Soran Eddrich would hold them accountable for their greed. Haine III may not care about these things, but Solan Eddrich does not care about this kind of behavior. Disgusted.

Just before the departure, news came from the border that the rebel army had been suppressed! The cruise fleet on the border discovered this group of rabble, and after slaughtering most of them on the charge of disturbing border security, they arrested all the rest! These fleets composed of alien personnel recruited by the empire, whose combat effectiveness can only be regarded as second-rate, have snatched the honor of this rebellion from the hands of Lieutenant General Metz. If it was Admiral Date, he wouldn't care about that. A calm admiral would only focus on results. No matter who he was, he would be a stepping stone to the throne of Soran Edrich. Lieutenant General Metz is young and energetic after all.

The attendant behind Metz regretted it a lot. If he had known in advance that this lord was in such a bad mood, he would definitely hide away before the aircraft landed.

Shang Ping lay quietly in the grass, watching the two of them keep walking away. Lieutenant General Metz had seen him before, and that unfamiliar face reminded him of some bad memories. The location here is already considered It's remote, why would anyone pass by?

Shang Ping was annoyed, he moved his already stiff body slowly, and kept in one position for a long time, his waist and arms felt sore and numb.

Biting his lip, Shang Ping moved his fingers, and a voice suddenly entered his ear.

"Who are you?"

The voice came from behind, so close that Shang Ping could fully confirm that the object of the inquiry was himself.

damn it!

Shang Ping couldn't convince himself to be an ostrich, so he turned around slowly, a tall man stood behind him, dressed in a military uniform slightly different from the soldiers of the Golden Empire, black boots wrapped around his slender and straight legs, and the ankles It's a golden badge. The man squatted down, touched the ground with one knee, and held Shang Ping's chin with his hand, "You are not from the Golden Empire, who are you?"

Shang Ping was stunned. Obviously, the man in front of him was definitely not from the Golden Empire. His appearance, accent and tone of voice made Shang Ping suddenly have a ridiculous idea.

"I am Mars, the Mars of the Muses system. You are not from this empire."

Shang Ping's tone was affirmative, but the other party was still expressionless, looking straight into Shang Ping's eyes, like a glass ball, without the slightest emotion.

"I'm…"

"Lieutenant Colonel Elfy!"

The man's words were interrupted, and another equally tall soldier came over. He was also completely different from the people in the Golden Empire. His expressionless face and his voice all had a mechanical flavor.

"Lieutenant Colonel, the fleet has all arrived, and Shangguan has summoned you."

"kindness."

Lieutenant Colonel Elfei nodded, let go of Shang Ping's chin, then unbuttoned his coat, put it on Shang Ping, and whispered, "Cheri, take him away."

"Wait!" Shang Ping grabbed El, "Don't you doubt me?"

"Suspect."

"Then why help me?"

"intuition."

Elfy stood up, and Cherry also picked up Shang Ping, who was wrapped in Elfy's coat. It was not far from their aircraft, and when they walked over, it would hardly attract attention.

Shang Ping was full of doubts until he entered the aircraft and was put down by Cheri. Instead of being resolved, the doubts in his heart seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. This made him completely ignore the fact that he was being carried into the aircraft.

As a means of transportation, the aircraft of the Golden Empire is similar to Mars' land vehicle. The difference is the three laser cannons installed on the front of the aircraft and the two photon machine guns on the left and right sides.

The cockpit of the aircraft is connected with the passenger seat, and there is only a transparent door in the middle. Sitting in the position, it is easy to see every move in the cockpit.

Shang Ping was still wrapped in Erfei's coat, which made him feel at least a touch of warmth. Shang Ping can be sure that the few people in the aircraft, whoever he sees, will definitely not be people from the Golden Empire. The appearance of these people and the habits of manipulating the aircraft are very similar to the Seth people in Shang Ping's memory. But their cold expressions and mechanical movements made Shang Ping not so sure about his guess.

"Please use."

Cheri put a cup of hot drink and a plate of dim sum in front of Shang Ping. Shang Ping, who had not dripped water for nearly 48 hours, made an honest sound from his stomach, and raised the cup with some blushing. Yes, a drink similar to hot cocoa, with a smooth mouthfeel. He picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite. He couldn't help but let out a sigh. Shang Ping never knew that he would find sweets so delicious.

In a few minutes, Shang Ping swept away the food in front of him and felt a little embarrassed. Cheri turned around and placed a plate of fruit in front of him, like magic.

"thanks."

"Need not."

"Captain Cherry, the lieutenant colonel is back."

"Open the hatch."

Captain Cherry didn't pay any attention to Shang Ping, or rather, from the beginning to the end, Cherry only thought that Shang Ping was an item that was picked up by Lieutenant Colonel Elfy and he didn't know what to do with it.

These survivors of the Fourth Fleet of the former Republic of Seth, in a sense, can no longer be called complete human beings. They are clones grown from culture vessels, including Lieutenant Colonel Elfy. There are six hundred and eighty-one people. Together with some personnel from the empire's frontier planets, they formed the empire's frontier cruise fleet. Lieutenant Colonel Elfie was appointed as the commander of this fleet by virtue of his excellent command ability and his outstanding performance in the Royce artificial celestial body battle. He was also the hero of the border suppression not long ago. 's credit.

Shang Ping didn't know what purpose El Fei was helping him for, and he didn't know what to do. His biggest hope at the moment was that the lieutenant colonel could really take him out of the palace. This empire is huge enough that as long as he can leave the palace, Shang Ping can find a place to hide himself from being discovered, and then find a way to contact Zhou Ting. Since he was not killed, Zhou Ting was definitely still alive. Shang Ping firmly believed.

Lieutenant Colonel Erfei sat on the command chair and ordered to return to the station. Shang Ping finally asked, "Excuse me, can you put me down after leaving the palace?"

"no."

Erfei refused Shang Ping's request without hesitation, but unexpectedly gave Shang Ping an explanation.

"Once the aircraft leaves the palace, it is not allowed to stop until it leaves the central area of ​​the capital."

"why?"

"The central area is the noble area."

Erfei's words were concise, Shang Ping nodded, class.

"Then, can you tell me, are you Seth people? It's the Seth Republic of the Muse Galaxy."

Seth?

Seth people?

Lieutenant Colonel Elfy stood up and walked to the console, "If you think so, then so be it. However, we are now soldiers of the Golden Empire." More precisely, a tool for war.

Shang Ping stopped talking, and no one in the aircraft made a sound.

Four hours later, the aircraft flew away from the palace and over the central area of ​​the imperial capital. Shang Ping looked at the dreamy, luxurious and beautiful city below through the window of the aircraft, and he couldn't help thinking of an old saying: People love roses. , but always forget the thorns under the petals.

Is it, the more beautiful, the more dangerous? Like this beautiful city, but living the most aggressive life in the universe?

The Ivan Summer Palace is brightly lit, the royal aristocrats are dressed in fragrant temples, the wine glasses collide with each other, and the military attachés and civil servants are clearly distinguished, but it does not prevent laughter and joy from overflowing the entire palace. When everyone knew that His Majesty the new Emperor would attend the banquet tonight, the atmosphere reached a climax. The celebration had lasted for nearly half a month, and it was nearing the end. It was the first time His Majesty the Emperor appeared at the banquet. Very few people knew that the Emperor Attendance is the result of a compromise with Empress Dowager Yilan.

The empress dowager no longer asks whether her majesty the emperor will find a queen or a concubine in the near future, while the new emperor needs to show up at the celebration banquet, at least, let the royal family save face after returning to the star.

If His Majesty the Emperor does not appear at his coronation celebration, it will be regarded as dissatisfaction or contempt for the nobles, and it will have more or less influence on Soran Edrich's future ruling career.

Perhaps Soran Edrich didn't care about this, but the Empress Dowager Yilan wanted her son to be perfect, even though Soran Edrich refused to invite any noble lady to dance.

The wait was always long, and when Soran Edrich appeared in the banquet hall in a silver and gold dress, cheers of "Long live the Emperor!" resounded through the Ivan Summer Palace.

With long silver hair, blue eyes, and impeccable beauty, Soran Edrich is like the incarnation of the gods in ancient mythology. However, everyone present also knew that when the new emperor stepped onto the battleship and stood in front of the entire army, all the splendor would be turned into a phantom. Blood and conquest are the essence of this beautiful young man! It is also the root of the Edrich family that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

A golden wagtail flew over the Ivan Summer Palace, and its crisp name ripped through the night sky, but was annihilated by music and laughter, and disappeared.
