King Sulyuka Brynhilt raised his head from his work and saw Vice Admiral Ostana Barr, Chief of Staff, standing at the door of the office.
Since the Battle of the Ring of Miracles, the core members of King Suliuka have all been rewarded with promotions and salary increases. Miss Chief of Staff is certainly no exception. She even received the title of "Baroness Ming Yilun" and officially became the
An ordinary citizen who was born in a small town and became a hereditary aristocrat with a fief, is definitely a class jump.
However, the joy that enveloped the entire Brunhildt fleet only lasted for less than two weeks and then dissipated.
On the last day of September, when the main fleet led by Brunhildt only had 48 hours left to sail from the Unity Fortress, they finally received huge bad news.
The fall of an elected emperor, the destruction of a Titan ship, and the death of nearly half a million imperial soldiers, all happened in just half a day. Perhaps, they were all only possible in that meat grinder-like event before the Galactic Common Era.
It was only during the Third Galactic War that such tragic losses occurred.
However, having said that, Brunhild could only rush to the scene as quickly as possible and try his best to rescue the survivors who were still unknown.
She sincerely hopes that she can save King Soleyn, not just because this uncle is the first to express his full support for her in the election of the emperor, but also because the other party is still half of her.
A teacher of the art of war.
Before Brunhild officially entered the advanced studies of the Royal Military Academy at the age of thirteen, all his knowledge of military affairs came from the family tutors headed by Lieutenant General Xiurei, the palace minister, and then King Thoren as the royal family.
A military summer camp for young children.
When he was thirteen years old, Brunhild defeated the battle-hardened No. 1 king of the royal family, King Thoraine, in a mock battle. Of course, this incident was just a palace anecdote that was not popular with outsiders.
The young King Suliuka established his absolute confidence in war.
From this point of view, how could Uncle King Soleyn not be regarded as her mentor of Brynhilt?
The heirs of the eight royal families are said to be members of the Chenxi royal family, but if we really want to trace their origins, we would have to find the same ancestor three thousand years ago. It is naturally impossible to say that there is any unbreakable blood and family ties. However, unless it is for the sake of selection
In a life-and-death struggle for the emperor, both parties will at least have similar class sentiments.
Brynhilt really hopes to find the living Prince Sorain. However, she also knows that this possibility has actually dropped to the level of a miracle.
As a result, in the following days, the entire Dawn Angel fell into a low pressure state.
When the fleet arrived at the Unity Fortress on September 2, King Suliuka discovered to his surprise that forty or fifty warships had gathered here, all of which had arrived from other galaxies. Needless to say, they must have been received by the Unity Fortress.
According to the news, people came from nearby to rescue, including even a reinforcement fleet from the Eye of Dawn.
Brunhild, whose mental structure was already unstable, wanted to go crazy at that time.
If you all come here, wouldn’t the entire Dawn Channel become a public toilet? Wouldn’t Yang Xiyi’s fleet come and leave whenever they want?
Of course, as the elected emperor, she did not spit out these vulgar words after all.
"Well, this is actually my mistake. As the top general of the New World, I did not consider the status of most people. In fact, I should have anticipated the dynamics of each squadron. When I received the news released by Yang Xiyi, I
The entire war zone should be notified as soon as possible and everyone should return to their respective positions." For the first time, frustration appeared on Brunhilt's face:
"I'm shaken. Since I didn't even think of this, Ostana, I still have a lot of shortcomings!"
"Actually, I thought of it, but I didn't remind you." Ostana said.
"...Is there any reasonable reason?"
Ostana said: "You may think that things have already happened. No matter how many fleets are gathered in the Unity Fortress, some things will not help. The first thing that needs to be considered is the subsequent war issues. However, this is just an ideal state. The entire
The New World is now your defense zone, and the dead and wounded in the Unity Fortress are all your subordinates. King Thoraine is your teacher, and he came from the Gate of Glory to support you. At least what the Privy Council issued to the nobles and citizens
The battle report is like this.
"If you issue such an order, public opinion will definitely accuse you of not saving anything, and it will definitely affect the attitude of the Senate."
Brünnhilt sneered: "Wouldn't it affect the attitude of the Senate if Yang Xiyi comes in and out of the Dawn Channel?"
"That's just a mistake in military deployment. If you are as powerful as Emperor Yiwenya and today, haven't you also made mistakes? To put it harshly, the victory of the Miracle Circle is enough for you to make many mistakes. However, from your standpoint
On the other hand, reputation is very important. Although the Tirero people hate cowards and are only willing to follow the brave. However, what they want to follow is actually a humane hero, not a cold and heartless political animal. At least, that must be the case on the surface.
"
Ostana Barr sighed: "Your Highness, the empire is never perfect."
Yes, even if it is an authoritarian system like the Galactic Empire, it is the same as all republican systems with mutual checks and balances at the highest level of political ecology.
Miss Chief of Staff did not say a word: The only person who can break this political ecology and act willfully is the emperor. However, you are not the emperor yet.
However, she believed that Brunhildt must understand.
The latter did not answer immediately, but just looked out the porthole. After a long time, she said in a calm tone: "Ostana, I felt very uncomfortable just now. I just felt that my heart was cold and my mouth was dry.
.This is the self-perception of a high-ranking psychic. Haha, since the battle of the Miracle Circle, my mental state has been very close to that of a magic stick."
Ostana did not dare to answer right away. She could indeed feel that since receiving the news from the Unity Fortress, Brunhilt seemed to have sublimated again. Although he was still the same person, he had a deeper and mysterious majesty.
.
This is definitely not the magic stick she calls herself.
"Ostana, Duke Sadolan, Duke Macedo, and Duke Themint should all have died. The possibility of them and Lan Jiufeng dying together should only be 30%. There is a high probability that we will face a true god.
Rise up.”
"Your Highness..."
"However, this is not a big deal. Lan Jiufeng's climb to the Nine Rings is actually a high probability event. Xingjian Pavilion had such expectations fifty years ago. Similarly, the death of three dukes does not count.
What a big deal. Counting hereditary and lifelong ones, there are still twenty-four grand dukes and forty-seven dukes in the empire," Brunhild said.
Miss Chief of Staff found herself unable to speak.
"However, the death of the leader and deputy leader of the Astral Knights, as well as the chief cardinal judge of the Grand Inquisition, is a serious injury to our great empire. Ostana, you say,
Who should take their place?"
After nearly half a minute, the Chief of Staff finally spoke up: "...This, this is not something that subordinates can comment on."
"I think you can. Ostana." Brunhilt turned his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes calmly.
She was obviously sitting, but Ostana felt as if she was being looked down upon by a huge god standing tall on the sky. For a moment, the oppressive feeling like the scorching sun was overwhelming, and her blood almost stopped flowing.
It seemed like I had to use all my strength to even take a breath.
As a result, Ostana Barr's usual smile could no longer be maintained. She lowered her eyelids and trembled.
"Ostana, this is the last time." Brünnhilt spoke in a gentle accent.
"...Understood." Miss Chief of Staff spoke with her last strength.
"Very good. You know, I still rely heavily on your wisdom." Brunhilt smiled.
Immediately afterwards, the pressure that enveloped Miss Chief of Staff suddenly disappeared without a trace. The latter suddenly found that her back was actually soaked, and she subconsciously slapped herself when the warm air equipment in the ship blew it.
Cold.
However, immediately afterwards, she suddenly showed an ecstatic smile, stepped forward and held Brunhilt's hands: "That's great, that's great, Your Highness, you don't know how long I have been waiting for today.
It’s over!”
Brynhilt did not throw away the opponent's hands. With her current strength, she only needed to have a thought to throw the opponent out the door. However, Miss Chief of Staff suddenly acted abnormally, which really surprised the Queen.
That’s it.
She frowned and looked at the other party who had lost her composure. At this moment, the graceful and indifferent smile could not be seen on the face of the chief of staff. Even her dark red eyes were full of excitement, even in time.
Madness is like a gambler who has hit the winning horse or a dead fisherman who has fallen into a big fish.
King Suliuka couldn't help but sigh: "...Sure enough, all facial palsy are menaces, and all menaces also have a hopelessly sexy side."
"Whatever you say. Your Highness, this is an excellent start anyway! Really, an excellent, excellent start!"
In short, with such a commotion, the little discord between the monarch and his ministers disappeared. Ostana can still maintain an impeccable business with a smile on her face, complaining about her master; and King Suliuka also
As always, it is His Majesty the Elected Emperor who is the most magnanimous and perfect person in the universe.
In short, there is no haze left at all. Really!
The subsequent action was naturally to rescue possible survivors in the Unity Fortress.
By September 6th, in the Dawn Pass system, in front of the ruins of the Unity Fortress, more than 200 Imperial warships had been hit, including the Titan ship Dawn Angel and three dreadnoughts.
Millions of soldiers are working day and night around this huge ruins, hoping to rescue as many comrades as possible. However, everyone has been so busy that they have only rescued three-digit survivors, half of whom are even
He was permanently disabled due to brain damage. Such a pessimistic result constantly reminded them that all they are doing now is just doing their best, obeying fate, and seeking peace of mind.
During this period of time, everyone finally found the body of King Thorane near the hull of the Mountain God Gundarang that could not be repaired. The fall of this elected emperor was finally confirmed.
As for most of the remaining important generals who have disappeared, as well as high-ranking psykers such as Knight Commander Count Baorre and Star Viewer Viscount Eris, their bodies have not yet been found. However, we all know that in this situation, there is no
The news must be the worst news.
Brynhilt seemed to have accepted all this calmly, and just drafted a very detailed report and sent it to the country. Then he gave an order to all the fleets in the Dawn Star Territory to let them settle in their respective places, and then in his own
The door is closed in the office and only appears once in a while.
Anyway, directing disaster relief does not require her to personally give orders.
In comparison, the latest battle reports sent from various places and studying the community's new tactics and new warships are indeed more worthy of Brunhilt's attention. Regarding this, Ostana Barr also thinks so. If
It wasn't that some major new situation had occurred, Miss Chief of Staff really didn't want to disturb her master.
Sure enough, what she was waiting for first was the lord's cynicism.
"The last time you came to disturb me, it was the Marine Corps of the Community of Miracle Circle who still refused our surrender. So General Farrell decided to continue the siege. The last time you came to disturb me, it was Yaochi.
We lost troops again, but we still couldn't take down a mere isolated city. When you came to see me last time, you told me that Yang Xiyi's fleet came from the Eye of Dawn and disappeared again before our fleet intercepted it.
Ostana, if I hadn’t been cured of Laushizi’s mutated collagen disease, otherwise I would have died from the endless bad news you brought during this period.”
"Although Wei Chen really wants to apologize, unfortunately, this is still huge bad news." Ostana said.
Brunhild sighed silently and closed the various documents and images projected on the desktop by the terminal.
"Sit down." She pointed to the sofa and waved her hand. The wine cabinet next to her opened automatically, and her invisible but flexible arms floated out holding a bottle of good ice honey and two wine glasses. The bottle of the former floated out.
The lid then pops open and the pouring process begins.
By the time they landed smoothly and lightly on the table, the golden wine had already filled the wine glass.
Psionics is the most basic psychic skill, and it is also a "universal skill" that can be used by almost all star rings. Most psykers can use it once or twice even before they are fully awakened.
Being able to apply telekinesis as freely and freely as just now seems to be difficult to reflect the skills and attainments of a psyker. Of course, there are not a few psionic masters with this method among the imperial nobles, but they would rather be in the room
If you put a bell in it, and if you touch the water bottle, it will ring a dozen servants to help you deal with it, you will never be able to do these chores with your noble spirit.
Yes, ostentation can also represent strength. The nobles of the empire actually agree with this point.
Brünnhilt is not hypocritical in this regard. As an elected emperor, even if she is on the front line, she has a reinforced platoon of maids and orderlies responsible for her daily life, but the young queen is not prepared to behave like a
A giant baby who lacks the ability to take care of himself.
This is not because she is a rebellious girl who has no taboos and insists on being different from most traditional nobles, but she is just simply troubled.
"Let me guess..." The young queen shook the wine glass slowly and looked directly at the chief of staff opposite: "If the body of another important person is found, it is not important enough for you to report it personally.
To the extent. Then, it should be the mainland, right?"
"Your Highness, Sheng Ming Wu Guo." Ostana flattered her in a somewhat taboo way.
"Calculate the time, more than a week ago, Yu Lian arrived at Nantianmen with four Lord Gods, right? He must have made another big news, right?"
"Sure enough, you are the only one who understands the Dragon of Dawn!" Ostana continued with admiration on her face. But it was hard to say whether this was flattery or not.
Brunhilt snorted coldly: "So, it was he who united with the Outer Rim Fleet and defeated the Blood Gate's combined fleet?"
"...It's even worse than this." Ostana sighed: "The Blood Gate's combined fleet was completely wiped out, and all the Blood Gate fortresses were demolished."
What surprised Ostana slightly was that her master did not show much surprise, but just sneered: "This may be considered good news. If the Cathays and Angans of the Blood Gate lose,
If it's too miserable, we won't seem particularly embarrassed."
