The Ingatil Imperial Defense Line, the highest command located in the depths of the giant interstellar fortress, had a calm atmosphere with a faint sense of slaughter, and many officers belonging to different departments hurried back and forth.

Ling Shuai's residence is a single garden villa, the area is not very large, the decoration and furnishings are decent, and the standard treatment is not much better than that of ordinary generals.

In the small banquet hall of the villa, several guests were drinking and chatting with the supreme commander of the front line, and the most talked about during the banquet was naturally inseparable from the war situation between the two empires.

On the main throne is naturally Marshal Ling Changyun, on his left hand side is a man with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, full of grace and dignity, Ouyang Zhiyu, the Polestar Martial God, is sitting on the right, and below him are several senior generals, who are also descendants of the Ling family.

“…… Lao Ling, it's not me talking about you, your place is really shabby, you are a hereditary first-class duke, a noble minister who can sit and talk in front of His Majesty, and a commander of all armies, so he actually lives in this kind of place? People who don't know still think you've been stripped of your military power and put under house arrest......"

The man held the wine glass, and he didn't see the number of outsiders, he was Su Qinfan, the governor of the Dark Yu Province of the empire, Ling Changyun's best friend for many years, and served as a feudal official in various parts of the empire all the year round.

Ling Changyun smiled disappreciatively, and said pointedly: "It's always an old age, what should be enjoyed, I have enjoyed it when I was young, after so many ups and downs, what else can't I see?" ”

Su Qinfan sighed: "You are still the same, according to the news I heard, Your Majesty actually intends to change his mind, and now that the empire is in an eventful time, why are you so stubborn to the end?" ”

Ling Shuai said quietly: "If this is the case, it is naturally a blessing for the empire, and the Ling family, as a citizen of the empire, should be exhausted and worry about the country." I also hope that Brother Su will help mediate a lot after returning to the imperial capital. ”

"It's nature,"

Su Qinfan took a sip of wine and continued: "By the way, how is the battle situation on the front line? When will you be able to get the bastards of the Mondello Empire back? Pick up what you can say and tell me, right? ”

"It's very hard!"

Ling Changyun shook his head: "What is the situation in the two countries, you know, I don't need to say more, just like this, being able to block them here without an inch is already the limit of my ability, and it is really too difficult to counterattack back!" ”

"Nothing?"

"Unless it's the full support of the Empire, you should understand that the likelihood of such a thing won't be very high."

"Not necessarily, I'll think of a way when I go back, no matter what, I have to keep the big ship of the empire unsinkable first, so that everyone can fight for power and profit with peace of mind, isn't it? The big guys won't be able to see through it. ”

Su Qinfan said calmly, court battles are not uncommon, but in the case of a large-scale invasion by foreign enemies, everyone still has to work together to keep the basic plate of the empire alive, so that there is a future at all. Otherwise, the country is gone, and no one wants to stay out of it.

Ling Changyun thought for a moment, and there was a hint of confusion in his tone: "There is one thing I have to explain to you, the main fleet of the Mondello Empire's expeditionary force has been standing still since a few months ago, and it has not launched a new large-scale offensive until now, but has only sent a small force to continuously attack and infiltrate through that meteorite belt. ”

"According to the information we have obtained, they expected to launch a full-scale attack in the next few days, but the result is still heavy thunder and little rain, I really don't understand if they are playing tricks, or if they have encountered some unspeakable problems......

The movements of the Mondello Empire's expeditionary force, with Ling Shuai's mind, were naturally foreseen, and careful preparations had been made for this, coupled with the rumors that Qin Feng had released through some secret channels, the intelligence system of the Ingalti Empire was not too wasteful, so up to now, the Mondello Empire had no information advantage at all.

It's just that for some reason, the expected large-scale attack has not been launched for a long time, but there are constant rumors on the opposite side, saying that the raiding forces invested in the meteorite belt have suffered heavy losses, and even some of the elite seeds that have been cultivated have fallen.

With Ling Shuai's position, he naturally understood that this could not be the strength of his own legion, but an unknown third-party force had intervened strongly, but he had secretly investigated for a long time, but he had never figured out what was going on.

Of course, judging from the results, this is naturally beneficial to the Incathian Empire, and the Mondello Empire's expeditionary force has been sluggish recently, which should also be one of the key reasons.

Su Qinfan's expression was slightly stunned, and he thought for a while before asking: "To be able to make the losses on the other side so amazing, and still not figuring out the identity of the attacker, this is definitely not something that ordinary powerhouses can do, right?" Does such a figure exist in our empire now? ”

Ouyang Zhiyu said: "To be precise, even the Polestar Martial God is gone, and it can't be kept secret like this, in fact, in the recent period, their Polestar Martial God has appeared, and there is more than one, so we also dispatched a strong person of the same level to fight with the other party for a few battles, and they won and lost each other." ”

The faces of the senior generals present were solemn, and if it continued like this, they did not know how long the two sides would have to stalemate, and if there was no suitable opportunity to break the balance, perhaps this war would be possible for three or five years.

Of course, today's sea of stars is vast, there are many large countries, and there are a large number of foreign intelligent civilizations, large and small wars are extremely frequent, and sometimes it is not uncommon for a major war to last for hundreds or thousands of years.

The Inca Nebula is only one of the more than 300 large nebulae dominated by the camp of human civilization, and in terms of area, population, resources, environment, and other important indicators, it is only at the middle level, and it is divided by dozens of large powers, and there are countless small and medium-sized forces, which is completely in a state of scattered sand.

In addition to the Inca Great Nebula, some of the Great Nebulae that rank in the forefront of comprehensive strength have long been unified, and they are the main force against those alien super civilizations with profound heritage and terrifying strength.

Su Qinfan pondered for a while and put down his wine glass: "Don't mention this, the Imperial Secret Department has recently sent people to various places to select suitable cultivation seedlings from the people and send them to the Abnormal Ability Military Academy for unified training, among which particularly outstanding candidates will be sent to the Imperial Capital to receive complete elite education and key cultivation." ”

"A few of the kids I've dealt with are really extraordinary, do you want to take a look at them first? I can keep one or two for you if I want to, and no more. ”

There are hundreds of provinces in the empire, and the number of civilians is hundreds of millions of trillions, and because of the huge population base, the number of geniuses in it will naturally not be small. According to the past practice, these seedlings selected from the people are all resources belonging to the Imperial Polar Star Temple, the military, and some powerful departments, and have nothing to do with those nobles.

However, due to the unspoken rules of convention, those big people who have connections and connections can always find opportunities to secretly conceal and intercept a few particularly outstanding candidates to be absorbed into the family, invest resources in training, and then marry their own children, and then they will be talents belonging to their own families in the future.

This kind of operation is now commonplace, and there are thousands of young descendants of the Ling family's generation, but except for a few dozen people, the rest are not very brilliant, so Su Qinfan made such a suggestion.

Ling Shuai bowed his head and said, "That's not necessary, Yihua's kid has been lucky recently, and he happened to find a very outstanding candidate, so I asked His Royal Highness Ouyang Zhiyu to take him as a student." When he grows up, it will be enough to support and maintain the glory of the Ling family's generation. ”

Su Qinfan said in surprise: "What kind of genius can be worthy of such a high evaluation of Lao Ling?" Can you let me see it? ”

Being able to be a personal student of the Polestar Martial God is not a treatment that any kind of elite can have, and even the children of the royal family may not have the opportunity, so he has a strong interest in this big man.

Ling Changyun hesitated for a moment, and finally said to the maid beside him, "You go and inform Yihua and let her come over with Qin Lan for the banquet." ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
