Office of the Free Federal Port - Conference Center Hall......

Sina. Leona was in the lounge next to the fleet office, quietly staring at the fresco hanging on the wall, the portrait of Valyan I, the founding emperor of Valen 13,000 years ago, known as the "Unifier", the portrait of this unifier was painted by the painter Pro-Buddhist master, and the above depicts Valyan I when he was forty years old, which was also his political peak.

Valé lived for 20,000 years, during which time he also dominated most of the planets, but it was from this "unifier" that they became truly the recognized emperors of the major nobles of the fortress of freedom.

In the early days of the Empire, it was he who transformed the Empire from a small country in a remote corner of the planet into a unified planetary empire, and it was he who saved the fortress of freedom from the doom of civil war, and the pace of interstellar colonization of the Empire began.

The founding emperor has always been the political belief of the empire.

He was very ordinary-looking, without Valrian's innate beauty and handsomeness, his eyes were gray and light purple, and his beard was carefully groomed and elegantly adorned on his chin, but it did not help to decorate the overly ordinary appearance, especially the blackened teeth when he smiled. Rumors, even a rumored mole on his buttocks, the scholars of the empire can give a dazzling explanation one after another. For example, some scholars believe that it is a mole of the true dragon, some scholars believe that it is a motherly mole lit by the Mother of the Galaxy for the conqueror incarnated by her son, some scholars believe that the mole is the symbol of Valen's heritage, that mole symbolizes the pure-blooded Valyian, and some believe that it symbolizes that the fortress of freedom will stand out from the star civilization.

In Sina's view, it was just a mole, just like this portrait, just a portrait of a lucky emperor, at that time, the great nobles of the Fortress of Liberty and the children of the great nobles were tired of fighting, the interstellar revolution was close at hand, and the starry night sky was at his fingertips, so he happened to be selected from Valyian, who seemed harmless and easy to control at that time, and enshrined as the son of the god of religion of the fortress of freedom, the Mother of the Galaxy, but I don't know if this "Unifier" has really seen the Yin of the Mother of the Galaxy as the legend says.

Of course, the big nobles can send him up, and naturally they can also pull him down.

Sina. Leona's family is also an ancient aristocrat with a long history, his ancestors were the famous King of the Castle, the king of the largest castle in the Fortress of Liberty, who ruled most of the land of the Fortress of Liberty, and even if it later declined, he was still the most powerful nobleman at that time. His ancestors had personally propagated Valéan to the bronze throne, a symbol of the throne, and supported it for hundreds of centuries.

More than 10,000 years have passed, and just as the Fortress of Liberty needed the Emperor in the first place, the Emperor is now out of place, and it is time for them to pull him down from the broken chair that has been repaired for thousands of years. Looking at the current council, the emperor is ignorant, the deputy speaker is in power, and he secretly separates the fleets guarding the various star fields, and the great nobles of the council have evil intentions, so that even a few unknown interstellar civilizations can suppress them in the border strife a few years ago, which is simply a shame.

Valen's royal family was already out of place, and he looked at the portrait of the "Unifier" with indignation, and couldn't help but add to the gloom of the future of the empire.

"Councilor Sina, are you here?"

Duke Sheena turned around, and a middle-aged man about fifty years old walked out of the Federation Fleet Interstellar Communications Office, this person had wilted and gray hair, but his body was strong, his face was rough, and he looked like a rock, he was the director of the Federation Fleet Interstellar Communications Office, but with his face, Siener felt that he was more suitable to be a repairman, and the bodyguard was not bad.

"If I'm not here, where can I go?" Sheena walked towards a private box in the lounge, "What's wrong?" ”

"We can't get in touch with the Speaker of the Earth Federation Council, and not only that, but I can't get in touch with the Deputy Speaker and other councillors."

Xena turned his head in surprise, "Have you informed the Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet about this?" ”

"I'll let him know as soon as the news comes, and since you're here," the chief of office took a cautious breath, "I think you'd better take a look at ......."

"See what?" Sina. Leonar was a little confused for a moment.

The chief of staff took him to the other side of the common room, the side facing the earth, and now Xinako could see clearly that the earth, which had been round as an egg not long ago, was now tightly surrounded by a faint purple cover.

"What is this?" He found that his mouth was open enough to swallow a goose egg, "The people from the military department are experimenting with planetary weapons?" Why didn't I receive the message? ”

"We don't know, Councilor Sina," the Chief of Staff bowed his head and said deferentially, "the Commander-in-Chief asked me to ask you, you have just landed from Earth, and the Commander-in-Chief wants to know what is going on. ”

"What about the Commander-in-Chief of the Army?"

"We couldn't contact him, including the president of the Federal Academy of Sciences, and the head of the Strategic Arms Room, all the people on Earth, we couldn't reach him, and the most bizarre thing is that we weren't notified or detected anything."

Sina. Leona paced back and forth uneasily, "Where is the commander-in-chief of the fleet?" ”

"He's on the cruiser USS Liberty Day," the chief of staff presented a briefing on his wrist to Duke Sine, "and today is the 73rd exercise of the 13th Fleet, and he leads the fleet in a "meteorite defensive battle" in the asteroid belt off Mars. ”

Sina. Valen's nose was crooked, "There's something wrong with the Federation Earth, and he's still playing peek-a-boo in the asteroid belt?" ”

"I'm sorry, we didn't expect this to happen in advance," the chief of staff bowed his head, "Comrade Commander-in-Chief has been informed of the state of the planet, and the Thirteenth Fleet will arrive at the spaceport in an hour. ”

Sina crossed his hands back and forth anxiously, he looked at the earth not far away, and always felt an inexplicable worry, he had seen countless planetary weapons, and when he visited several powerful and ancient civilizations in the center of the galaxy, he had never seen a weapon similar to this that could envelop the entire colony planet, what was the reason for the current vision?

"Can anyone explain why at this time?"

"The people at the Planetary Monitoring Station and the Institute of Deep Space Research have not been able to give a reasonable explanation at this time."

"It's strange," Duke Sina couldn't help but sneer, "this hood is bigger than the tits of the women they usually sleep with, and they still can't tell what it is, so what's the use of the Supreme Council raising them?" Is it that the days of receiving a salary every day are so comfortable that they forget how to use their brains? ”

The chief of staff did not dare to interface easily.

"I'll talk to them when this is over........," Shina said coldly, and turned to leave the lounge for the conference hub.

He waited for the fleet to return for ten minutes longer than expected, and when the commander-in-chief of the Thirteenth Fleet, a subordinate of the Second Fleet of the Empire, walked into the central hall, Sina. Leona almost fell asleep.

"Councillor Sina," he had only seen a few times a few days ago, and had greeted each other briefly, and he was only able to get a formal look at the Commander-in-Chief today.

The commander-in-chief was a gray-haired old man of nearly sixty years old, named Lille. Valen, a distant relative of the current royal family, was followed by Li Weining, one of the deputy commanders and commanders of the fleet, Kawabata Kaneda, the military secretary of the fleet, and Lev, the head of the logistics department. Tortorech, Yang Lin, head of the Deep Space Intelligence Division, and Fuming, the chief scientific adviser of the fleet, there are still some leaders of the Thirteenth Fleet who have not arrived, Duke Sina thought gloomily, facing such a situation on Earth, there are still some people who cannot be in place, undoubtedly, they are likely to be on Earth, I heard that a few people went to a symposium held by the Speaker of the Earth Federation to talk about space deployment, and now it seems that at least half of the people went to the symposium, and the leadership of the Thirteenth Fleet is less than half, Will they still be fully operational?

"We have received information about the state of the earth," the Commander-in-Chief greeted him cordially, and he was so old that Xena could clearly smell the stench of his body, and could see the gray hair on his scalp. Lille. Valen is the commander-in-chief of the 13th Fleet under the Second Fleet, and his only talent is probably loyalty, and the greatest luck in his life is the surname "Valian" suffix in his name.

"I received the notification an hour ago," Sina forced himself to smile, although the commander-in-chief of the branch fleet of the Second Fleet was one level lower than himself in terms of position, but after all, the official of the main level of the galaxy, responsible for the defense of the space fields of more than a dozen nearby galaxies, was at the same level as the Speaker of the Earth Federation Council, and the real power was even worse than the latter, and if he was lucky to have a Valian surname, he still had to give him a little respect.

"Your drill is over?" He asked calmly.

The Commander-in-Chief was stunned for a moment, "I hastened back after receiving the emergency communication, but you also know that navigating the asteroid belt is not an easy task," he explained to himself like a bound old woman. Why hasn't he died yet?

"The most important thing now is the Earth," Sina, forcing herself to calmly interrupt the Commander-in-Chief's quirming lips, "do you see that?"

As long as he is blind, he will not be regarded as not seeing, fortunately, although Comrade Commander-in-Chief is almost sixty years old and walks a little sluggishly, his eyes are not blind to the point of not seeing, "I see the blue cover......

The commander-in-chief of the fleet squirmed his chapped lips, and every sentence was as vague as a virgin with several chicken breaks in his mouth, and he couldn't say it clearly. And, damn it, it's a purple hood, you blind old man, can't you even tell the colors?

"I've had the planetary station conduct a series of surveys of Earth," the Chief of Intelligence is finally a man of articulate words, "and a team of frigates carrying "scout sentinels" have been sent to try to fly to Earth, and I have them report back to me every twenty minutes. “

"From now on, every ten minutes, no, every five minutes, give us a debriefing, it's more serious than you think."

Although the Commander-in-Chief was not satisfied with the Duke of Sina's substitution here, he kept his mouth shut loyally, which was probably an extension of his talents, and he was loyal to everyone who was higher in rank than him.

"And," said Sina, who hated the man, knew that he should do it now, "get the word to the commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet as soon as possible." “

"Your Royal Highness?" The commander-in-chief opened his mouth, and under his gray beard, he could even see the pink and spotted wrinkled lips wriggling, and the old man hesitated for a moment, "Is this too much, why bother His Royal Highness, I believe we can deal with it." “

You fool, if you deal with it well, then why is the hood still encircling the earth in a grand manner?

What's more, his only daughter is on earth, no matter what, it is better to let him know about this kind of thing, otherwise you think you will have good fruit to eat afterwards? Sina tried to squeeze out a smile, "You forgot about Ciri. Valian, she's your niece. “

The commander-in-chief of the Federation fleet of the Megatron Solar System finally woke up from a dream, "Oh....... Oh..... Yes, I have to inform His Royal Highness, yes......." He hurried out of the central chamber of the conference, leaving a group of his subordinates staring blankly at each other.

This was the Thirteenth Fleet under the Second Fleet, and the contempt in Sina's heart almost made him almost laugh. How could Valen let such a person be the commander-in-chief, just because he was obedient? I think he'll listen to whoever he says.

"Do you eat dry rice? Why are you still stunned here," Duke Sina looked at the leaders of the thirteenth fleet who were at a loss, and couldn't hold back any longer, he scolded sharply, "Don't you know that your fleet has been given emergency wartime alert instructions, don't stretch your neck like a stupid goose, haven't you learned how to deal with this situation?" “

The cronies of the commander-in-chief of the fleet finally reacted, and they began to think about what they had done.
