According to statistics so far, a total of 2,414 civilians died in the sudden disaster on the Sarna planet, including more than 600 civilians, mainly citizens of Crystal City. There were nearly 1,800 military personnel, including those on the ground and
Panzer grenadiers and security guards who died in the battle with the virtual monsters, as well as the crew members who fought against the Star Eater in space.
To be honest, if these death tolls did not include Count Seliola, this number of casualties would not even be comparable to a moderate shipwreck, and would be nothing to the empire.
In comparison, the "Glory Mission" military exercise, which used more than 3,000 battleships, an entire sector and border garrison, and more than 4 million imperial soldiers, was an important military activity used by the Galactic Empire to show off its force.
How could it end with a disgraced face?
As a result, the empire's propaganda department immediately took advantage of its institutional advantages and directly blocked all events that occurred on Sarna Planet through various channels. After all, it is not an event like the God of War Festival that is broadcast live across the universe. With the Galactic Empire
With the ability, it is too easy to block messages.
Yu Lian is now surfing the Internet and can't find any discussion about the situation here. He estimates that not only the Imperial City, but also Luyuan Star may not know what is going on. In a few years, things will change.
It has become an interstellar legend without any evidence at all.
Anyway, this kind of interstellar legend has never been lacking before.
What, you said that the planet Sarna 4 is mineralized? This planet has never existed. It has been an asteroid belt since the day the universe appeared. Your past cognition must be an illusion!
Then, the Glory Mission exercise, which had been suspended for a week, started again.
The Twelve Garrison Division, which had just finished a tough battle, and the Astral Knights of Viscount Shameen, also entered the battlefield again.
In fact, they have achieved good results in unexpected actual combat. It is reasonable to say that they can withdraw from the exercise and go back to repair. However, the proud Viscount Shamaine said that their original order was to participate in the "Glory Mission". Now,
The troops maintain more than 90% of their combat strength, so there is no reason to abandon the mission.
...Well, of course, the reserve fleet still suffered some losses. One Clear Sky and two Holy Shields were sunk by the Star Eater, but since it is a fleet affiliated to the Knights, it is originally intended to provide backup support to the knights. As long as
If the flagship "Yaoguang Goddess", written as a transport ship and read as an aircraft carrier, does not sink, they can still fight.
His words were recognized by most of his comrades, at least on the surface.
However, in Yu Lian's view, the knights' surprise attack on the Lion's Den Fortress could no longer continue, and their morale was still somewhat affected.
Before the Knights left Sarna, Shameen came to say goodbye to Yu Lian in person. He expressed his gratitude to Yu Lian again in a routine, expressed the "friendship" between the community and the alliance in a routine, and offered Poppas a routine
The major expressed his condolences and apology, and then prepared to say goodbye in a routine manner.
Although it was a routine but also very decent, Yu Lian felt the fatigue on his body. He must have been formulating the next battle plan overnight, so he deliberately reminded: "The more you are a leader, the more you must learn to pay attention to rest.
.In addition, you can also listen to Colonel Soback's opinions."
"I will." Shameen glanced at Yu Lian, and his tone was a little more sincere: "Indeed, you are the first person to discover his potential! Your vision is the same as your strength.
That's admirable. If you were not from Earth, I would actually be happy to serve under your command."
He said this in front of many people. Yu Lian always felt that this guy was suspected of being a quarrel, so he didn't hear anything, just smiled and shook hands and left immediately.
Of course, what puzzled him was his attitude towards Colonel Soback.
"That boy Shameen seems to really regard Sobek as a talent? Well, is it possible that this guy is actually a hidden expert?"
On the other side, Shameen, who had returned to the Yaoguang Goddess and was about to set off, also found Soback and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Yeager. Without your plan B, our next step would be
I don’t even know what to do.”
"B, Plan B?"
"Yes! It is the plan of DS124 galaxy to be on standby and wait for opportunities to fight. It was originally a backup plan prepared in case we failed to attack Sarna, but now it is really used! Predict defeat before you predict victory. This is the art of war.
Common sense, many people understand this truth, but they often lose their minds at critical moments. I am very lucky to have a sensible comrade like you!"
Colonel Soback opened his mouth slightly. Although he wanted to say that he just wanted to live in that hidden galaxy, when he came to his mouth, he said: "This is the duty of the subordinate... In addition, I just asked Bai
Admiral Ya, we communicated with Lieutenant General Fisher of Selection, and the other party agreed to allocate some live ammunition to us."
He continued to explain: "Too many things have happened during this period, and I am really a little uneasy. If our fleet has enough live ammunition to deal with one or two battles, we can deal with those virtual monsters and the Star Eater
You don’t have to be so strenuous when doing so. I have already applied to the exercise director, and His Highness has approved it. I just ask for the live ammunition to be packed in boxes. You and Admiral Bai Ya will each get one copy of the password."
"I can rest assured that you will do things as you say." Viscount Shameen paused and then said: "In addition, I have reported your achievements in this battle to the Knights headquarters. If everything goes well, I will wait until
After the exercise, you should be able to wear a dragon tattoo on your back."
The empire uses dragon patterns to represent general ranks.
Soback was overjoyed, thinking that he had indeed become an Astral Knight and became the Emperor's immediate personal soldier. His promotion was so fast! He couldn't wait to take the entire fleet to DS124 and wait till the end of the exercise to return to the Imperial Capital.
It’s that day of honor.
"But it's unreasonable for a general of the Knights to only have a second-level strength. During this period, I will personally train you when I have time." Shameen added: "In addition, I will also ask Count Seliora
, we have formulated a training plan for you."
Sobek suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.
In this way, the knights once again embarked on the journey with confidence. Of course they did not know that Count Seliora had died in Sarna. Now, this bad news is still an absolute secret, only the discoverer of his body and
The top bosses in the empire know.
The situation on Sarna planet calmed down, and Yu Lian also received a message from the leader of the observation team on Luyuan planet, the old principal General Maxer, asking them to put their safety first and go to Luyuan planet first.
Peace is good.
"Although the empire has blocked the news, it can't be hidden from the top leaders of other countries. What's more, people on our side are still dead... In short, the earth already knows what happened in Sarna, and the chairman is worried about everyone's safety.
All members of the observation team are required to gather at Luyuan Star. After all, it is the capital of the Empire’s Extreme Sector, and it is also where the exercise director’s department and the blue team’s headquarters are located. It is tightly guarded and has good security," the old principal said.
"An order issued by the Chairman of the Generalissimo himself? His Excellency, Chairman of the National Defense Committee Nihita."
"Isn't it him?" General Maxell smiled and said: "He mentioned your name four times in the order, demanding that I must give you a death order. Your Excellency, Chairman of the Generalissimo, is really worried about you.
Safe."
Yu Lian felt so tired that he almost got goosebumps all over his body, but he still showed the right touch: "It's... really worrying for him! Don't worry, I'll leave right away."
In any case, at least now His Excellency Chairman Keith Nichta is still his "backer", and his concerns about himself should still be somewhat real, and in the Sarna galaxy, it should be
The digging is almost complete, and there is really no need to stay in this sterile place.
So, he was ready to set off the next day after Shameen and his knights left. Of course, before leaving, he should still visit his friends here. So Yu Lian took advantage of the opportunity before leaving.
On the last morning, I went to the field hospital to visit General Griffith and Engineering Officer Jango.
...Well, now it is certain that General Griffith and the others did come to inspect the ruins, but it is difficult to say whether they were affected by Heros. All subsequent encounters can be regarded as unintentional disasters.
Fortunately, they seemed to be in good spirits. When they were soaking in the petri dish, they felt a little fatter than the last time they met.
Engineer Officer Zhan Guo was seriously injured and is still sleeping. General Griffith is awake. However, he was soaked in a petri dish to treat his injuries. Of course, he couldn't speak with the robot, so he sent a message directly to Yu Lian.
conversation by writing.
"Don't worry, I have copied everything in the coordination factory. This operation can be said to be a success. When the amusement park is built, remember to come and play! I will send you a lifetime pass."
"I want ten...ah, no, that's not the point. I said, are you really okay now? Didn't the empire ask you for questions during this time?"
"Of course we will ask questions. But we know nothing about Heross! It seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with the country's policies! But it is really unexpected that he would choose a strange secret society.
However, the sixth-ring psyker is indeed the only one in the history of our race, which is actually quite exciting. Now that he has chosen his own path, I have nothing to say but gratitude. The General Council has decided to hold the ceremony in the square
Let’s build a statue of him.”
The Pallarian general paused and sent another message: "It's just that his actions have caused losses to the country, so he is naturally an enemy of the Iron Legion. If we meet next time, we will deal with it as a natural disaster.
of."
"...Didn't you say you planned to erect a statue for him?" Yu Lianqi asked.
"This is not a conflict," the general said.
Well, probably only a population that is so "open-minded" and so heartless can form such an optimistic race. Oh, yes, the Palla people don't have a heart in the first place. That's really heartless in the literal sense.
Lungs!
"Anyway, I don't know if you ask me. The empire can't keep me, a dignified general, here for the rest of my life. Don't worry, I will return home on my own once my injury is healed. Also, about the palladium plating I promised you
For the alloy production line, remember to ask the management of the Red Maple Factory to contact our Industrial Management Department. As for the nano repair ship, it is still under review and approval, but it is not a big problem."
Yu Lian looked at General Griffith's three pairs of big, watery eyes, and immediately understood what the other party meant, and he smiled and nodded gratefully: "As long as you think it's worth it, then it's worth it."
After saying goodbye to General Griffith, Yu Lian could naturally say goodbye to the Sarna planet that had lost its value.
As for Miss Amida Belenkeste, she had already left three days ago, leaving all the follow-up projects of the sanatorium and water park to her assistant B.
It must be said that the eldest lady of the Bei family has been staying on this small remote planet for such a long time, and she really has a lot of feelings. If she doesn't leave, some people will probably become suspicious.
The eldest lady is so cool. She didn't even show up in person to say goodbye, but just made a phone call. However, considering that Feifei was around, Yu Lian was quite grateful to Yani for her knowledge. This can be regarded as a kind of "
Be considerate.”
"Tsk, you didn't even come to say goodbye in person. No matter how you look at it, you are trying to hide it." Feifei snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, and then calmly put her delicate jade fingers on Yu Lian's waist and pinched a little bit.
When the meat is on the skin, start gently twisting it, slowly twisting it, then pick it up again.
Yu Lian now knows two truths. First, when a girl determines a situation by herself, no matter what you say, it is useless. Second, when a girl is angry, she always likes to point her fingernails at your soft flesh.
Twist it gently, slowly apply it and then pick it up. Third, a girl who is willing to do it gently, slowly twist it and then pick it up actually loves you.
Well, there are actually three truths out of two. Isn’t this common sense?
Therefore, Yu Lian decided to pretend that he saw nothing and felt nothing, and said to his senior brother: "You should have gained a lot from your battle with Count Seliola, right? Can you let me see it?"
Tantai Jing hid his sympathetic eyes under Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's expert demeanor, and said in a deep voice: "Very good. Prepare the props. This time, you have to experience it like the protagonist of "One-Armed Lightsaber"
The true way to balance.”
"The action director of this film is also our senior brother?" Yu Lian was shocked.
"No, it's the teacher."
At this moment, in the No. 14 Deep Space Monitoring Station in the Lion's Cave Star Territory of the Extreme Frontier Guards, the deputy station commander, Lieutenant Belloma, was wearing headphones and watching the scene on the screen attentively. It was a scene with only one person left.
The one-armed Earth hero, holding a dark green lightsaber, fights with more than twenty fierce enemies.
The lieutenant's blood was boiling at the sight. It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder that he subconsciously screamed and jumped up. When he looked back, it was the station commander, Captain Lu Duo, who caught his eye.
"One-Armed Lightsaber? Is this movie too old?"
"Only old movies are classics!" the deputy webmaster said angrily: "What, it's time to change shifts?"
"No, I just came down to get some food." The stationmaster sighed: "I want to find a way to take a breather. There is no vacation in the third shift. Even a brave warrior like me can't bear it."
Lieutenant Belloma couldn't help but sigh, and wiped his tired cheeks, immediately smearing oil on his face. It had been a long time since he took a serious break, so he could take advantage of the opportunity to watch classic excerpts from classic old movies.
Decompressing is already the limit.
There was no way. Since the start of the "Honorary Mission", the vacations of all the defenders of the Lion's Den Fortress were cancelled, in order to ensure the stability of frontline logistics. After the mutation in the Sarna galaxy, the entire fortress and all surrounding branch facilities
The 800,000 defenders all returned to their combat positions within half an hour and entered a state of first-level combat readiness.
Later it was proved that this was indeed just a false alarm, but it did exhaust the whole army to death, and they still haven't recovered yet.
"I always hope that the exercise can end soon." Lieutenant Belloma yawned: "I really want to go to Blue Bay to eat the fried sandworm platter!"
"You want to go there to eat young ladies, right?" Captain Lu Duo said angrily, and then changed the subject: "Anyway, if something happens, it will be in the direction of the exercise in the Jijiang Star Zone. It's none of our business. We just need to make good arrangements."
Just take care of your internal affairs."
"That's right, we are an outpost checking the direction of the galactic center. But the predators have not dared to harass the lion's den for eighteen years."
As soon as Lieutenant Belloma finished speaking, the alarm sounded at the right time. The stationmaster couldn't help but stare at him with a dead look. The lieutenant couldn't help but said: "This, maybe there is something floating in space."
Where are the things?”
"Captain Lu Duo, Lieutenant Belloma, it is confirmed that the No. 3 gravity well is being opened, and a large mass object is undergoing a jump. Please return to the headquarters immediately."
The station commander continued to stare at his deputy with a murderous gaze, while speeding up the pace and rushed to the headquarters. When they just arrived, the surveyor gave a definite answer: "Mass, 780,000 tons...
