Encounter One
YC 120 Tashmungon Star Domain Tashmungon First Star Tashmungon Family Fleet Port
In the fleet's harbor, a mixed formation of tried-and-tested, heavily armored and gold-painted Catastrophe-class and Doom-Battlefield-class battleships is making final preparations before departure. Although he had already commanded and seen them countless times since he was a child, he still sighed for these steel giants that shuttled through the sea of stars, no opponent could survive in the face of such powerful firepower.
At this time, a bald head wearing Admiral Emma's cloak and a fleshy face walked towards Carl and bowed: "See, my lord, this time the First Fleet and the Third Fleet will be selected to form a special fleet to escort you through the wormhole to the Royal Naval Command College. The big bald head said to Karl, who was standing in the harbor and about to board the ship, with his head on his head rubbing.
"Well, you know, you go down. Wait, who's the commander this time? It won't be me to command it again," Karl said that he was used to being caught by those uncles and grandfathers in his own fleet, so he asked first. "No, no, this time it's Lord Letitis." The bald man bowed and said. "Whew, it's not me, you go down first." Karl let out a long breath. "Yes, sir."
Karl boarded the officer's lounge of the flagship, and as soon as he put down his luggage, he heard a soft female voice sound: "This is the Fleet Channel broadcast, here is the Fleet Channel broadcast." The fleet is about to depart, so please take the last self-inspection before departure, and the countdown to departure will be five minutes. The broadcast is over. ”
There was a knock at the door. "Knock knock, is Master Carl in there?" "Who?" "The little one is the servant of Lord Laetitis, and the little one has asked the little one to pass the word to you, please go to the bridge and sit down for a while, young master." "Got it, you tell Laetis, I'll go right away." "Yes, the little one retired first." Outside the door, after Letitis's servants had retired, Karl straightened his outfit in the mirror and headed to the bridge.
"Fleet broadcast, fleet is about to depart, target: wormhole mark. Please pay attention to the recoil force of the jump engine when it starts. ”

"Young Master Karl, I have heard in the fleet early this morning about your exploits in using mobile tactics to exterminate pirates and maintain one side's shipping routes, this is really a model for our imperial soldiers! Please, this is a special product that has just been shipped from the first star, a steak produced in Tashmungon. It can only be tasted by dipping the light of the little master. A handsome man with blonde hair and a handsome face, who looked like the dream lover of thousands of girls, walked into the bridge and was confused by his enthusiasm.
I don't seem to know this thing, do I? Why is this product so enthusiastic as soon as we meet? Could it be that this product is trying to soak my sister? Or do you want to go for a promotion? I need to figure out what he wants to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief! Karl, who was confused and full of question marks, was frightened by the enthusiasm of this handsome blonde guy and made full use of his brain. Then the two politely greeted each other, such as, "The starry sky is nice today... "Last time, who went to see the dancer was caught by the lady at home and kneeling on the keyboard" and so on.
"May I ask Lord Laetitis, where have we met? I don't think I had any contact with you before, did I? After a long polite time, Karl asked Laetisis with a question mark on his head. That's the case, I have a reluctant request below, I hope that Master Carl can agree. "The handsome blonde man showed a smile that could charm thousands of girls." Your Excellency, please say, I will naturally agree to those who can. "Karl is here.
"That's right, my sister has been interested in fleet command since she was a child. No, my sister is now about to turn 20 years old. The family is going to send her to study at the Royal Navy Command College, and when the time comes, it will be your younger sister of the young master, please take more care of the younger sister when the young master is in the academy. Laetisis told Carl, who was full of question marks, why he was so enthusiastic.
"I thought it was a big deal. I'll naturally take care of this, it's all my own people. No problem, it should be. When Carl heard this, it turned out to be an errand to take care of people, and he agreed to come down while relieving his heart.
"Then please Master Karl, I am very grateful. Come on, you can't waste this superb steak! As soon as Laetis saw that things were done, she beckoned Carl to start chatting with Carl while eating the best steak.
Chatting and chatting about Carl, he couldn't stand this Letitis, and saw him start to Carl with a smile on his face: "Young master, let me tell you, my sister is a beautiful woman who is blonde and blue-eyed, has a golden ratio, has excellent knowledge and talent, and has a gentle and virtuous personality that you can't find in Titans!" The young master went to the academy and must take care of my sister a lot, don't let people bully me... While boasting about his sister-in-law, he said to Carl. The look in his eyes, as if he had already made Carl his brother-in-law, made Carl feel uncomfortable and wanted to end the meeting that he thought was terrible.
At this time, the fleet broadcast saved Karl: "The coordinates of the destination are about to be reached, please prepare the whole fleet." The countdown is 5.4.3.2.1, and the coordinates have been reached. "Lord Laetis, you should give orders." Karl said to Laetis.
"The cruiser detachment of the second squadron and the interceptor squadron of the fifth squadron formed a forward fleet to enter the wormhole to inspect and report after confirming safety." "Understood, the second squadron received. Get ready to enter the wormhole! "The interceptor team has received it, ready to enter the wormhole!" Letisis issued instructions in an orderly manner, as if she wanted to show herself in front of her young master.
"My lord, I received a report from the forward fleet that the wormhole entrance is confirmed to be safe, and after the shipboard scan, it is confirmed that there are no other ships within the 14AU range to confirm that it is safe." The voice of the forward fleet commander was heard in the fleet's communication channel. "I see, now the whole fleet is ready to enter the wormhole. Attention to each ship, turn off its own micro jump propulsion and afterburner, so as not to destroy the quality of the wormhole! Laetitisis turned to Carl and said to Karl after giving the daily tips before entering the cave: "Young Master, please hold on to it, the moment you pass through the wormhole, the ship's magnetic field will fluctuate, and all equipment is in a shutdown state, please pay attention to safety." ”
"Okay, I'll take care of it, you're busy." Carl muttered a vague response to Laetisis as he ate the steak.
Just after the entire fleet passed through the wormhole, a string of unknown lights suddenly lit up in a ruin floating in space 5 AU from the entrance of the wormhole, but the people in the fleet did not know about it.
