"Leah...... Leah, are you listening to me? ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, Daddy! Where did you just go? ”

"Alas...... Where's your distraction, you kid? ”

"Hmm...... However, I don't understand the hereditary system of the empire, the aristocracy or anything you said, Dad! And what do those things have to do with us? ”

"I can't help you...... Listen, Leah, these things I am talking about are closely related to our lives. If a country cannot guarantee even the basic interests of its people, then it is bound to decline. And now all the power is in the hands of the aristocracy, and their ** hastened this decline even more. ”

"But, Dad, you are also a nobleman, the people here support you very much, and our planet is so prosperous, which shows that not all nobles are bad."

“…… But my strength is too weak...... I can't stop the big nobles from doing whatever they want, pushing the empire into the abyss step by step. If anyone can do that...... Maybe I ......"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Leah, you are still young, but Dad wants you to remember that the power of the nobles is not for the exploitation of commoners, but also for people, and they deserve freedom and power. Although we are nobles, it does not mean that we are more noble than the commoners. A true aristocrat is one who can use his power and money for the benefit of the people, not oppression. ”

"Hmmm! I remembered, don't worry, Dad! ”

…………………………

Aking from her dream, Angelia felt a little moistness in the corners of her eyes.

"It's been a long time...... I didn't have this dream anymore......" glanced at the clock, it was only 4:20, so she closed her eyes, but let the scene in the dream replay clearly in her mind again.

"Daddy...... Am I really making the right decision? The girl turned to the side and slowly opened her eyes, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

After tossing and turning a few times, I felt that I could not sleep again, so I simply got out of bed, tidied up, got dressed and walked out the door. At this time, most of the crew members were still asleep, except for the crew on duty, and Angelia cautiously walked through the dormitory area towards the strategic conference room.

On the way, she met two crew members on night duty, and was a little surprised to see her, but she just smiled and nodded to them, saying that she had worked hard.

The Phantom is currently heading to the only neutral planet recognized by both the Imperial and Coalition sides, Brovicco.

This autonomous planet is a special existence, full of arms dealers, gangsters, mercenaries, and at the same time selling weapons to empires and alliances, brokering mercenaries, and replenishing supplies, and is an extralegal place where light and darkness coexist.

On this planet, there is no room for any kind of conflict between the two sides, otherwise the Autonomous Government of Brovico has the right to deal with the troublemakers on its own, and the Empire and the Alliance will not be concerned.

Due to open hostility with the Empire, a few days ago, the Empire had already issued a wanted notice for itself. It is necessary to be fully prepared for battle, and on this neutral planet, even if they meet God**, they can't do anything.

When she opened the door to the conference room, Angelia was taken aback.

"Ivy? Why are you here? ”

A petite figure saw the person who suddenly entered the room, and immediately stopped what he was doing, and stood in place, his face flushed almost to his chest.

"Li...... Sister Leah...... Early...... Good morning...... "The little girl in front of me is only about ten years old, with short black bangs and big watery brown eyes. She held a broom with a handle taller than her, which was now almost extinct.

Angelia smiled helplessly, walked up to Ivy, and touched her head: "You kid, this kind of thing is good with a cleaning machine." ”

Ivy raised her head and fluttered her smart eyes: "Because...... Because I want to do something for Sister Leah......"

"Really, it's only past 4 o'clock in the morning, you're still growing your body, you should sleep more." Angelia gently wiped the dust off the little girl's face, "And you're going to be a nurse intern at Dr. Isaiah's, what if you don't have the energy to do that?" ”

"Hmm...... But ......"

"Ivy wants to help me, right?" Angelia bowed and smiled.

"Well, yes!"

"As long as you grow up healthy, it will be the greatest help to me." Angelia touched Ivy's head again.

"Yes, yes? As long as I grow up quickly, can I help Sister Lia? Ivy looked suddenly enlightened, so she ran to the door with a broomstick, and shouted to Lia happily as she ran, "Then I'll go back to sleep for a while!" Goodbye, Sister Lia! ”

Waving Ivy away, Angelia had a slightly complicated smile on her face.

Ivy is an orphan rescued from a war-torn planet, and she and her family are innocent civilians who were killed when the Alliance forces conquered the Empire's planet, and both of her parents died in the battle. However, when she was rescued, it was as if she couldn't remember anything, and she even forgot her own name, which was given by Angelia. Angelia didn't tell her family about what happened to her family, and she couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth about this lovely child.

How many innocent lives of civilians have been coined for the word "war"? Angelia didn't like war, but if the Allies were to fail, there would be more civilian casualties, and she didn't want to see that happen.

"I made the right decision...... Angelia seemed to strengthen her resolve, "Dad, you're going to support me, right?" ”

In the Nova Alliance General Headquarters, Admiral Dale and Commander-in-Chief Roland looked at the information in front of them, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Commander-in-Chief Roland was about 60 years old, his hair was gray, and although his face had many wrinkles, his figure was still very tall, and his posture with his head held high showed full confidence.

"Is it really her?" Commander-in-Chief Roland stared at the image on the screen in front of him, which was Angelia's head.

"There will be no mistake, this is a wanted warrant issued by Emperor **." Admiral Dale's voice was a little hoarse, "The 'Fire Lion King' Frem Daizer, who was in charge of the last battle, has been demoted due to his poor leadership, and he is no longer the commander of the 'Blazing Knight', but only as the captain of the Rose Cross, carrying out patrol missions, and his rank has also been changed from major general to major, and his chief of staff, Kylint Luther, has also been demoted from colonel to captain. ”

After a pause, Admiral Dale continued to report to Commander-in-Chief Roland: "And the reason why Frem Dazer led the whole army to retreat at that time, I think it must be because of this girl wanted by the Empire—"

"Angelia Lucia." Commander-in-Chief Roland's voice trembled as he spoke of the surname, "Eleanor Lucia's daughter." ”

"I didn't expect her to help us. And so successfully. Admiral Dale looked at the portrait of the girl, which was a photo of three years ago, and she was still smiling brightly, "Three years ago she disappeared along with several of the Governor Lucia's cronies and subordinates, and she has not been heard from again. At this time, he appeared in the battle situation, probably because he didn't want to see the Union army defeated. ”

"She's made her stand out." Commander-in-Chief Roland touched his chin, "It is imperative that we find her before the Empire captures her." ”

Admiral Dale was a little worried: "But...... Will she really be able to let it go? That thing ......"

Commander-in-Chief Roland glanced at his old friend and frowned: "Judging from her actions this time, she is very similar to her father - they are more focused on the bureau after all. ”

"I hope ......so," Admiral Dale thought for a moment, "then, I'll tell the Coalition to keep an eye on her whereabouts, and never let the Empire catch her." ”

Commander-in-Chief Roland nodded, and Admiral Dale saluted him and exited the room.

"Angelia...... What a child of Erinor......" Commander-in-Chief Roland looked at the image of the girl, "how similar are you to your father......"

The Phantom was still on its way to Bergers. In order to evade the pursuit of the Emperor, the Phantom Light has been in the stealth mode of "optical camouflage" - due to the time required for simulation operations to be processed in several modules, this will greatly affect the speed of the battleship's advance.

It was 7:20 a.m., and the crew had already woken up from their sleep and were busy.

By the time Azer yawned and entered the bridge, all his companions had already gathered on the bridge.

Angelia was discussing something with Chief of Staff Edel, and there was a lot of strategic information on the holographic projection. Ashere remained silent at Captain Angelia's side, barely motionless.

Little Ivy stood next to Dr. Isaiah, who was reading the news, and asked questions, but the doctor with a cigarette turned a deaf ear.

"Hmm...... Morning, everyone......" Azer rubbed his eyes in a daze, feeling like he hadn't woken up yet.

"How can you make such a little sound!" A loud voice suddenly sounded so frightened that Aize suddenly came to his senses, and when he fixed his eyes, two large, bouncy spheres broke into view first.

"Wow!! Jasmine!! Scared the hell out of me!! Aize jumped back suddenly, his expression frightened.

"Good morning, say it loudly! Especially since the captain is still here! ”

The girl in front of her has a curvy body, especially her breasts are very full and considerable. She has fluffy silver hair, healthy wheat-colored skin, and a beautiful face with an exotic touch. The girl, named Jasmine, was crossed over her waist and her big eyelashes widened, looking at Azer who was a head shorter than her.

"You big-breasted violent woman! Why don't you stay in the hangar and come here? Azer completely ignored what Jasmine said, rolling his eyes.

"Of course the captain is looking for me, do you think I'd like to see you stinky boy?" Jasmine turned her head away in disgust.

"What are you talking about?! Who do you say is the stinky brat? Ai Ze rolled up his arms and sleeves, eager to pounce on the woman in front of him and bite him to death.

Looking at Aze condescendingly, Jasmine sneered, "Hun! Funny! Do you think you can beat me? ”

"Alright, you two." Angelia hurriedly stopped the two of them who were tense, "As soon as we meet, we fight, and I don't know what kind of feud you have accumulated in your previous life." ”

"Humph!" The two of them, who had finished their daily quarrel tasks, turned around at the same time and walked away ignoring each other.

"Jasmine, you know where we are, right?" Angelia said to Jasmine, who walked next to the strategic deployment platform, "I'd like to hear your opinion on the battle that might take place as the captain of the Phantom Fleet. ”

"Yes, Captain." Jasmine tucked her silver hair behind her ear, "The Phantom Light has not been exposed yet, and the battle that started will not be a problem for us, but once the information on the Phantom Light is in the hands of the Empire, the difficulties will begin." ”

Jasmine glanced at Azer: "Even if the Phantom Light and the Phantom's fighters have stealth technology, once they enter the actual battle, with the scientific and technological capabilities of the empire, they will soon be cracked." ”

The genius boy sitting not far away stood up: "What?! I don't believe anyone in this galaxy can crack my optical camouflage technology! ”

Jasmine was not to be outdone: "Do you want to be so confident?" How do you know that no one is around? ”

Aize made a super confident underwhelming expression at the right time: "How about a bet?" If no one can crack the optical camouflage of the Phantom within three months, I will win, and you will make all the breakfast for the rest and send it to my room! ”

Jasmine crossed her arms and hugged her chest: "Good! But if you lose, I want all of your Staf limited albums! Moreover...... You've got to call the guy who cracked your technology, Dad! ”

The crew in the bridge laughed, and Aize stomped his feet and said fiercely: "A word is a certainty!" All here are witnesses! ”

"Toot! -Honk! -Honk! －”

While everyone is talking about Jasmine and Azer's bet, an alarm sounds from the vigilante's workbench! The vigilante shouted, "Captain! The coordinates of the front of our ship 2003.2134.652 appeared unknown hull! Observe the direction of travel...... Heading straight in the direction of our ship! ”
