====================================
When news reached the Confederate Army that Ronald Deazel, the deputy commander of the Imperial Royal Fleet and the senior admiral of the Imperial Royal Fleet and the admiral of the "Dragon's Fury" fleet, would personally invade the Claros region with the intention of retaking the southeastern battlefield, Rear Admiral Cindile Nevin, who had been appointed by Commander-in-Chief Roland as the commander-in-chief of the front, was leading his Fifth and Third fleets and the Nightblade Legion to garrison the Claros planetary area. The Fourth Fleet has returned to the rear in the Lockwood planetary area.
Imperial ships captured in the previous battle were also put into service after repairs were completed to supplement the Coalition's losses, and the Nightblade added a new batch of ships equipped with optical camouflage, bringing the total to 18.
Major General Nevin immediately convened a military meeting to discuss how to resist the emperor's attack. Angelia was also invited to participate. At the meeting, she also learned that Frem would be with the army as his father's second-in-command.
In the battle of father and son, the combination of father and son of the Dazele family is definitely quite difficult to deal with, but Angelia has an inexplicable sense of excitement about the upcoming battle, she is also very surprised, why does she feel this way when she doesn't like the war? Perhaps in the last battle, she felt the fatal attraction of the line between life and death, and she saw what people would do for their beliefs, and how much it would cost, and they felt that it was worth fighting for their lives.
Perhaps she was also moved by this belief, because it was not only the belief of the Union soldiers and people, but also the belief of her father.
Looking at the photo messages of the Dazell father and son on the screen, she also had a glimmer of hope in her heart - the expectation that she had agreed with Frem Deazel to fight off on the battlefield.
"Ronald Daizer was a high-ranking nobleman of the empire and a member of the House of Lords, and he was influential in both political and military circles. And his 'Wrath of the Dragon' fleet is not only named after the symbol of the Empire, the Flame Dragon, but also the largest and most armed fleet in the Empire. It can be said that this fleet is a symbol of imperial force. And our task is to hold the Claros area to the death, and never let the enemy army regain the initiative in the southeastern battlefield! Major General Nevin's voice was thick and magnetic, with a natural military aura, and even if his volume was not loud, people could feel the resoluteness and strength of these words.
Angelia looked at him, and always felt a little familiar, where had she seen it? She couldn't remember.
Rear Admiral Nevin pointed to the photo of the middle-aged man on the screen: "Ronald Daizer became famous when he was young, and in the war 40 years ago when Duke Freddy intended to gather the border fleet to usurp the throne, he defeated 62 ships of the Duke with only 12 warships, and he was also very successful in the later battles, so he was awarded the title of Duke by the Emperor and gave him the title of 'Tooth of the Dragon'." He has a calm personality, follows a very rigorous strategic policy, and is good at using space advantages to concentrate on attacking the enemy's weak points and breaking them one by one. He's extremely patient and never rushes, so we're going to be ready for a long fight with him. β
After a pause, the red-haired Major General switched the screen to Frem's photo: "And Frem Dazer is the son of Ronald Dazele, the youngest major general in the history of the Empire, although he is not as experienced as his father, and he also experienced a near-humiliating defeat last time, his strength is still not to be underestimated." His reaction was extremely fast, and he was able to quickly make multiple reactions to the enemy in a short period of time, and our western front suffered from him. This time, in order to wash away the shame, he will inevitably be more cautious. -- I have to say that the strategic approach of the father and son is very complementary, and we will face the most difficult battle. β
Angelia was a little curious as to why the front-line commander was so familiar with the officers of the Empire, and it wasn't until the two captains next to her whispered that "Rear Admiral Cindile Nevin was a high-ranking Imperial officer two years ago, and then resolutely defected to the Nova Alliance".
The image on the screen switches to the enemy's rear base - Baturu Fortress, which is a huge space military fortress, excluding the central circular headquarters, with a total of four wings in the east, west, north and south, specially designed for docking various ships.
"Our spies have sent back information that Admiral Ronald Dezere's 158-ship fleet of 'Dragon's Fury' is in the vanguard, and that Rear Admiral Frem Daizer is stationed at the fortress with some of the ships on the Rose Cross to prevent our troops from sneaking up." After saying this, Major General Nevin stopped his gaze on Angelia: "Commander Lucia, this battle still has to lead the 'Night Blade' Legion to sneak attack the enemy's logistics ship. However, because after the last battle, the emperor will definitely strengthen the defense of the logistics fleet, so you must be careful. β
"Yes, Commander, we will do our best to destroy the logistics ship and disrupt the enemy's rear supplies." Angelia nodded.
"It's a tough battle, but I hope you don't put too much pressure on you, this battle is mainly about defense, as long as we hold Claros, we will win." "May Lady Liberty favor us, and please fight with all your might!" β
"Yes, Commander!" All the admirals and captains stood up in salute in unison, their eyes solemn and determined.
Not long after she walked out of the conference room, Angelia was stopped by a voice behind her, and she looked back to see that it was Major General Cindile Nevin.
"Your Excellency, Commander, is there anything wrong?" Angelia watched as the red-haired man approached.
Major General Nevin had a mature and resolute face, which was a very military manhood, and after he walked over, he smiled at Angelia: "Commander Lucia, you were okay that night, right?" β
Angelia looked at the red-haired man suspiciously, and Major General Nevin didn't seem to understand her, so he explained: "On the day of the celebration party, you were a little drunk, and your boyfriend sent you back later......"
"Boyfriend?" The girl was stunned, then immediately understood, and waved her hand again and again, "Well, you misunderstood!" Ashurai is not my boyfriend! Alas, that set of photos really hurt me! β
"Really?" Major General Nevin was a little surprised, "I saw that he was quite worried about you at that time, I thought it was ...... I see, I'm sorry, I was abrupt. β
When Angelia heard the Major General say this, she had a strange feeling in her heart. It's just that if you look at that set of photos, you will misunderstand, but why before that? Do they feel a lot like a couple? This reminded her of the intimate contact between the two on the day of the shooting.
The girl suddenly blushed and coughed vigorously: "I did drink a little too much that day, but I didn't expect to be seen by the major general, it's really embarrassing!" β
Then she suddenly understood something: "Ah, I just think the major general looks familiar, did you see it that day?" I'm a ...... I don't have any memory of that day at all! β
"Actually, that kind of Lucia Legion Commander is not bad, at least it's funny." The red-haired officer smiled, his blue eyes were full of softness, and he didn't look like a commander at all, but more like a big brother next door, "Your talent is very outstanding, I am very much looking forward to the battlefield, with your assistance, to repel the emperor." β
The girl also smiled: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, that 'Fire Lion King' Fram Dazer will definitely seek revenge on me, and I will definitely defeat him again!" β
Major General Nevin stretched out his hand to Angelia: "You're welcome, you're a partner of the alliance, so you don't have to call me Commander, just call me Cindile." β
Angelia had a good impression of this big brother-like commander, so she also stretched out her hand and shook him: "Then you don't have to be polite, just call me by my name!" In fact, I have always felt that the title of Lucia Legion Commander is very awkward...... But that's what the captains of the Nightblade call it, and I can't say anything. β
"So, Angelia, let's win the next battle together!"
The red-haired commander didn't seem to be at all worried about the enemy's seemingly daunting battle, and that kind of self-confidence must have given great encouragement to the soldiers of the army.
Angelia suddenly remembered the Frem she had met in Brovicco, the same crimson-haired Imperial OfficerβEugene had tied Frem to meet her, to be exact. At that time, he also called each other by name, and the frank man did not disgust her, and she was happy to fight with such a person on the battlefield again.
When I returned to the dormitory, my friends looked a little worried. Angelia knew they were about to face the toughest battle of all.
Despite the success of the last operation, the Phantom was still inexperienced in warfare. Although they had also assisted the local resistance forces in fighting with the Emperor ** when they traveled in the interstellar arena before, it was not comparable to the scale of the frontal battlefield.
In fact, she was also nervous in her heart, but as the captain of the Phantom Light, she must not show this nervousness on the surface. So she smiled lightly at her friends: "What's wrong with you?" None of them looked like they were in good spirits. Is today's breakfast not delicious? Next time, let's try the second canteen? β
The expressions of the companions were noticeably relaxed. Edel habitually touched the beard on his chin: "Ha, it turns out that the captain doesn't like the food in the first canteen either?" I thought I was alone. ββHowever, the first cafeteria is relatively close, so the more convenient it is for an elderly person like me, the better. β
Everyone laughed, the atmosphere gradually eased, everyone forgot about the grim shape for a while, and began to talk about the news in various places, as well as gossip about the alliance army or something.
Angelia walked over to Asura, who hadn't joined in the chat, and cleared her throat with some restraint.
"I'm sorry, Asura, I worried you on the day of the party." The girl whispered, as if embarrassed.
Ashere paused, probably not expecting the captain to suddenly mention the matter.
"No, it's my duty to serve Your Excellency, Captain. And it was my fault for not dissuading His Excellency the Captain from drinking too much. Asurai remembered the chaotic scene of the drunk girl hugging and kissing strange men that day, and his face was a little embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, Angelia suddenly spoke: "That...... Asura, would you like to discuss something? β
"Your Excellency, Captain, please speak."
Taking a deep breath, the girl sternly said to the black-haired man beside her, "You are not allowed to call me Your Excellency Captain in the future!" That's an order! β
These words were thrown on Ashulei's face, and the black-haired man's face was frightened - yes, it was frightened, not surprised or frightened: "This!! Captain's Pavilion...... Am I doing something wrong?! You mean I... I... I've been fired!? β
The decibels of this sound were very loud, and the partners who were chatting in twos and threes suddenly quieted down and looked at the two people over there.
"Huh? What's what? Is the little girl finally going to fire this wooden man? Eugene looked like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, "Great! Let me be your new protector! β
Angelia didn't expect Ashulei's reaction at all, her face was red and white for a while, and she held it for a long time before she squeezed out such a sentence: "You...... I, I just said you can call me by my name! You...... You're a big idiot! After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the room.
"Big fool...... Big Fool...... Big fool ......! The word played in a loop in Asura's mind, and his mind was like countless stars being swept into a black hole, and finally it was short-circuited with a snap, completely incapacitated, and he stood on the spot with an expression like the end of the world.
Eugene finally couldn't hold back his laughter next to him: "Ahahaha! Asura, you're a genius! A genius who doesn't please women! It's hopeless! β
"I'm smacking!!" Jasmine gave Eugene a slap on the chin with a dark face, knocking him straight away, "What are you gloating about!" β
Eugene sat on the ground and rubbed his chin, looked at the short-circuit machine who was still standing there stupidly, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I said, why don't you hurry up and catch up with the little girl and apologize?" Why are you still stunned? β
Hearing Eugene's words, Asure regained his physical functions and hurriedly chased out.
"Alas...... These two children are really not worry-free. Eugene sighed old-fashionedly.
However, their relationship is indeed a little different, right? It's all his work. Eugene thought to himself, but his eyes slowly cooled.
