The Countess looked at the Cirke King who was roaring at her, her mood stable.
She was regarded as a model knight of the Galactic Empire, but she actually didn't want to appear like an arrogant conqueror, so she opened the helmet of the heraldic machine. The bright red hair seemed to be beating against the firelight in the square.
.
She looked at King Helang, who was sitting on the steps of the square, acting like a country fool, and smiled modestly.
"Your Majesty, what we did was legal."
"You, you, you..." This is the "Scarlet Comet". Is this the most holy knight example of the Astral Knights? King Heron was so shocked by the shamelessness of the empire that he was almost speechless.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you sign the military right of passage now, everything will be legal."
King Cirke put his hand on his waist and was shaking with anger. He felt that the other party was trampling on his dignity and intelligence unscrupulously. If he were ten years younger, if he hadn't been pointed at by the grenadier's electromagnetic rifle,
If I were a psyker, I would fight to the death with this despicable Imperial woman.
However, facing the warm smile of the female knight, he seemed to have had all his courage taken away, and suddenly he no longer even had the courage to speak vulgar words.
The King of the Circassians saw the corpse lying in two sections not far from the female knight. That was his captain of the guard, the most powerful psyker in the Circassian Kingdom, the "defender of the Four Rings"
", it is said that the tortoise shell has been tempered to be stronger than the armor of a battleship. It is precisely because of his support that he can firmly sit on the throne during the civil strife in the royal family. And he has always trusted this man with the golden power on his back.
Turtle's psychic master considers him the true pillar of his country.
Now, he is dead. He tragically launched a charge towards the Countess of the Galactic Empire, the enemy commander who parachuted troops to the throne, but failed to make a single move in front of her.
The king fell limply to the ground.
The female knight still said in a persuasive tone: "Your Majesty, you have three minutes to think about it now. I just hope that this can all end in a peaceful way."
Prime Minister Cherk in the crowd loudly said: "Count, do you really think that you can convince the international community in this way? The empire has launched a shameless sneak attack on a neutral country! Your political credibility has been bankrupt! Starting today
, no one will believe in any promises and contracts of the Galactic Empire. Even a small chiefdom in a remote star region will be suspicious of Longlin Palace's orders. Madam Count, is this also an order from His Highness Brunhilt?
?”
Of course, the Prime Minister understood the relationship between Jiafir and King Su. He took another long breath: "The foreign minister has met His Highness once, and knows that she is not such a person. She should not be so disrespectful.
wisdom."
The countess looked at the old prime minister of the Cirke Kingdom with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, we really don't dare to be reckless, so we have to resort to some clandestine means."
She waved, and her adjutant had already opened the terminal and projected a screen on the square.
A group of Circassian princes and important ministers stared dumbfoundedly at the representative of the Galactic Civilization Council stationed in Huaxu, who was making a report on the rostrum with a sanctimonious expression on his face.
"...The rebellion that occurred in our capital has been put down. With the help of our traditional ally, the Holy Galactic Empire, the damage has not spread to other starry skies. Now, His Majesty the King has studied and decided that Prince Theo will serve as the
The new Prime Minister will form a government. In order to get through this difficult situation, our country has also studied and decided to grant military access rights to the Galactic Empire's territory to help our country maintain security on its territory and waterways."
The king looked at his cousin Prince Theo in disbelief. He is the most capable general among the Circassian royal family. He once made great contributions in the war with the Grand Duchy of Khayal. He is now serving as a cardinal minister of state.
He is noble but has no official position with real power.
He was making a report seriously. The representatives from various countries in the audience had no choice but to listen with constipated faces and pinched their noses. The scene of the Galactic Civilization Parliament, the highest and most powerful meeting place in the universe, was suddenly filled with excitement.
An absurd temperament full of postmodernism.
"Theo? Theo! It's you!" The king let out a suppressed roar to his cousin. Now he finally understood: "Is it you, the imperial fleet? Did your kid let the imperial fleet in?"
Prince Theo said: "His Royal Highness Brunhilt's fleet did not go through Xuantuo, but entered from the Huyu system. The commander of the outpost there is my old subordinate and my best friend."
The old prime minister finally understood: "I see, after your fleet entered the country from the Huyu Galaxy, it took our D-line channel. That channel is narrow, remote, and has no commercial routes. There are only three patrol fleets.
…”
"This patrol fleet is also my people." Prince Theo was very proud. He stared at King Cirke, his eyes gradually changed from guilty and evasive to unyielding persistence: "I have worked in the army for thirty years.
He understands the military better than my weak, old, and slow brother, and of course he understands the universe better! Times have changed."
"But the D-line channel cannot carry the large fleet... Wait, could it be that these thirteen ships are all your current strength?" The king showed a horrified look.
Giafel smiled and said nothing.
However, there are still some things that are difficult to understand. It is still about three days of sailing from the D-line channel to the royal capital's Katun system. During this period, it must also pass through the defense zone of the royal capital's defense fleet. Why didn't anyone raise a warning?
At this time, the king suddenly remembered that the Minister of Defense told him that in order to prepare for the possible war that would follow, the fleet needed to be reorganized and prepared to rush to the border, and it was necessary to organize and strengthen the training of the large fleet.
As a result, a large number of fleets guarding the royal capital were mobilized to the non-owner star system next to Katun for actual combat exercises.
Has the empire penetrated us to this extent?
King Cherk wanted to find the Minister of Defense in the crowd. He wanted to ask the other party why he betrayed his kindness and betrayed his motherland. But he soon realized that when the imperial army airborne to suppress the royal capital,
At that time, the Minister of Defense died in the battle. He was the first important national cabinet minister to die in this airborne operation.
King Helang let out a desperate lament. He no longer wanted to worry about whether this was a murder or not. He only knew that in the final analysis, this was his order, and he ordered the capital to lose its defense.
King Helang wished he could shrink his head into his carapace and never come out again, but he still couldn't imagine that the empire really dared to attack the capital of a country with 13 warships.
Crazy! I’ve only heard that the Dragon Kings of the Empire are crazy, but I’ve never heard that the Dragon King’s retainers are also crazy. You know, the scale of reinforcements coming back from all directions is already dozens of times that of this Imperial fleet.
They can be destroyed at any time.
...However, these fleets surrounded Katun and did not dare to move at all.
I have already lost! The Cirke Kingdom has also lost!
At this time, on the huge screen, the representative of the Cirke Kingdom to the Galactic Civilization Parliament continued to talk: "The king of our country will deliver a televised speech to the entire universe at 10 o'clock in the morning."
"Your Majesty, you still have three minutes." Giafel continued.
The Circassian king raised his stubby neck, wanting to express his unyieldingness for the last time. He wanted to tell the countess loudly that the Circassians were also an unyielding nation. There were only kings who died in battle, not rulers who bent their knees.
.
"Brother Wang, this is meaningless." The newly appointed Prime Minister and Prince said: "Thirty years ago, you also had civil strife, and you only secured this position with the support of the alliance. There are still more than 200 people in the Wang family.
You are not the most convincing person regarding the legitimacy of inheritance. When it comes to ideology, shouldn’t we stand on the side of the empire and stand with the great Dragon Kings?”
"Until now, the Cirque Kingdom has not been involved in the war." Gyafel smiled and said: "As for the armaments you purchased from the Sanchi Galaxy in order to deal with the Principality of Hyal, the empire will also accept them all.
, at a price higher than the market price. Your Majesty Helang, I heard that the royal family enterprise in your country has also encountered a bottleneck in the construction of the high-energy particle factory of Sanqi's FD-187 galaxy, but this can actually be solved. The Holy Tree Chamber of Commerce and the Jia
The Southern Chamber of Commerce can provide technology in this area."
King Helang looked at his old prime minister... no, the former prime minister, but saw that the latter had stopped talking, just sitting on the ground, his old face was full of numbness, like a walking corpse without a soul.
.
His eyes swept over the spirited cousin, the body of the guard captain, and his family. He lowered his head slumped, and his thick neck shrank into the carapace again.
At the same moment, next to the Chero Fortress between the Circassian Kingdom and the border of the Community, a triangular warship with a silver hull, like a god's vehicle, was hovering outside the port that had been closed for a long time.
This fortress was built more than two hundred years ago. It was originally a large fortress built with the help of the Alliance in order to defend against the direction of the earth, which was still a colony of the empire at that time. After the founding of the Community, the national defense significance of the fortress basically disappeared.
In order to save costs, most areas were naturally closed and only the most basic maintenance personnel were retained.
It's not so much a fortress as a super large border customs inspection station.
Not to mention, before the war, some people actually proposed that the military part of the fortress should be converted into civilian use and turned into a border trade space city. Because the appearance is indeed a military fortress, maybe it can also be used as a tourist attraction.
The work is coming out.
Therefore, this proposal was indeed put on the discussion list of the Prime Minister's Office of the Circassian Kingdom.
If the snapping turtles had worked more efficiently, the fortress gun cabin here might have been converted into a domed artificial bathhouse in the space city.
Having a feast between the sea and the sky in front of the starry sky is very tasteful when you think about it.
But now, this fortress is destined not to become a trading city.
More than sixty years after it lost its function as a military fortress, it welcomed the most famous soldier in its life.
Sulyuka King Brynhilt stood in the alliance-style command room. His domineering morning-colored dragon eyes were looking at the distant starry sky in the direction of New Atlantis through the huge porthole.
.
"So, what are you going to do now? You heartless thing." She thought.
"Your Highness, you are not observing the movements of the Community's home fleet above Lone Night City, are you?" Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Ostana Barr said.
"I have now seen the fear on the enemy's face."
Miss Chief of Staff still maintained her unwavering smile: "New Atlantis is 84 light years away from here."
"You don't understand anything about saints."
Miss Chief of Staff found that she was unable to fight back in the quarrel, so she could only bow and said: "Major General Nega has cooperated with us to complete all the work."
Brünnhilt said "Oh" and looked at an older Circassian who was standing by the door of the hall. His strong and sturdy body was beaten by two Imperial Grenadier wearing power armor.
Tucked left and right, he suddenly looked humble, helpless and pitiful.
This is the commander of the Chiero Fortress.
Of course, he actually still looks like he's collapsed, and his eyes don't even have focus. It's probably because the imperial army descended on Chero, which really subverted his imagination.
"General, thank you for your help." Brunhilt smiled, full of condescending divine beauty.
In front of this kind of person who has lost the threat, she never hesitates to show her generosity, and occasionally she can give a bright smile.
The Circassian general looked at the face of the chosen emperor and was speechless for a moment. He felt that he had indeed seen the real god.
"General, thank you for your help." Brunhildt kept smiling and repeated his words.
General Cherk lowered his head deeply, indeed like a large snapping turtle lying on the ground.
"I, I still can't understand how you and your battleship got here."
He felt that if he didn't figure out this problem, he would die in peace.
"You will know soon. But there is no need to worry." Brunhilt still smiled broadly, but his attitude was unquestionable.
...Well, this question doesn’t seem to be that important.
General Cherk lowered his eyebrows and forced out an apologetic smile, and quickly obeyed.
"I have handed over all the authority of the fortress... The activation codes of the main shield and the three main cannons are dynamic, but there are regular instructions in the safe below. I just hope that all soldiers can
receive humane treatment.”
"You are worrying too much. The Galactic Empire and the Cirke Kingdom are not in a state of war, now and certainly not in the future." Brynhilt smiled and said: "You and your subordinates are not prisoners either. Just to avoid misunderstandings,
Movement needs to be restricted a bit.”
"Ming, I understand. We will definitely cooperate." General Nega looked at the feudal king pitifully: "Your Highness, how will future history judge a soldier like me who laid down his weapons without even a minimum of resistance?
"
Brünnhilt burst into laughter: "General, history is very snobbish. They probably only record the victors."
Does this mean that I have too much self-awareness? Yes, from now on I may just be a sideshow in Queen Brunhilt’s miraculous surprise attack.
The Circassian general felt that he had indeed received a blow.
"But this is the way history was recorded in the past." Brunhildt smiled and said: "Starting from me, it should be explained that you did not sacrifice the lives of your subordinates needlessly for the sake of your military reputation."
The total number of defenders and customs staff in this fortress is less than 2,000. Facing the famous Angel of Dawn, it is indeed impossible to fight.
This is a virtuous king! Your Highness is at least willing to comfort me, a humble surrendered general. The Circassian general's heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
I should be able to survive the war safely, right? But my friends on Earth opposite me are a bit miserable.
He prayed hard to the spirit of the universe, but his heart was inevitably filled with a sense of superiority brought about by his survival, and his mood suddenly improved.
