Volume II The Federation Chapter XVI Beyond Gaia

The Y-114-144596-RT galaxy is known as the Gaia galaxy.

It is located in the western border of the First United Human Empire, near the Silver Core, and on the Orion Arm in the same solar system, and is the first planet to be discovered after Earth to harbor life. The fourth planet of the Gaia system, Y-114-144596-RT-4, is now known as the planet Gaia, in the orbit of a large space port is running in an orderly manner, inside the orbit, countless warships are coming and going, in the core area of this space port---- in the office of the commander-in-chief of the fleet surrounded by countless soldiers, a man in his forties is dealing with the documents at hand.

He is Parr. Valen, the cousin of the current Emperor of the United Empire, the son of the only brother of the grandfather of the Emperor of the United Empire, is also the pillar of the current Valen royal family.

Speaking of Parr. Valen, everyone will involuntarily think of his father, the blood prince, who is a political figure up and down the Megatron Empire, ruthless and decisive, and it is his father who has made the Vallean royal family climb step by step from the position of parliamentary puppet to the current point, and the current Vallean royal family really controls two-thirds of the western star field of the empire, which breaks the tradition of Valian has been manipulated as a puppet by the Supreme Council for thousands of years since the "Royal Family and the Act of Parliament" thousands of years ago.

However, the blood prince of the Megatron Empire has gone too fast, so that as a son, he has not yet fully accepted the inheritance left by his father, counting it, it has been six years since his father left, and in the past six years, he only cares about taking care of the inheritance left by his father---- the second fleet of Megatron Galaxy, and ignores the fact that he is also a father.

As he finished working on the last document, he couldn't help but glance at the photo on his desk, a photo he had left with his wife and daughter during their visit to the Earth Federation.

In the past six years, he has only been with his only child for less than three days, and every year at the royal celebration, he will take a day out to talk to his daughter and talk about her, but now.......

He tried his best to be a good son in the eyes of his father, but after all, he still ignored the image of a good father in the eyes of his daughter. But soon, the Second Fleet is gradually coming under his control, and two-thirds of the Planetary Speakers in the Western Star Domain are people he personally arranged or trusted, and they will definitely choose to fully support him and the royal family behind him, and if everything goes well, he can even set aside a month to spend with his daughter next year.

Outside the door, a dignified woman walked in with hot tea, it was his wife Ji Rui. Valen, who is also his cousin, the woman of his life's love.

"I'll leave it to the maid."

He had said this countless times, and he also knew that Ji Rui had never just laughed, and she would admit "I know" with her mouth, but she forgot all about it in a blink of an eye. She had been with him for forty years, from her infancy to infancy, in a royal nursery, and his wife had been so ever since, and as the years went by, she became more mature and dignified, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened, but if she wanted to obey her, it would be tantamount to taking complete control of the Supreme Council.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then served the hot tea, "Is there any news from the High Council from the Galactic Center?" ”

His wife shook her head, "One thing, but it's all chasing after the wind, and the recent events seem to have been made a lot of trouble by someone with a heart," carefully went around his back and gently pressed against his aching shoulder.

"You should always know, why be so anxious?"

Parr smiled wryly, "It's not that simple. ”

The main fleet of the Second Fleet was supposed to be stationed in the core galaxy adjacent to the western star field, which is also a large galaxy with two colonizable planets under Valen's banner in the open and covert.

Five years ago, the famous team of private explorers "Galactic Storm" was the first to discover the Gaia galaxy Y-114-144596-RT and the colonizable planet Y-114-144596-RT-4 near the subspace shipping lane. As soon as the news came out, the whole empire was shocked, this is the only planet suitable for human habitation discovered by the United Empire in the past twenty years, and not only that, the ecological climate of this planet is enviable. Among all the planets of the Empire, there are very few planets that are more suitable for life than Gaia, so the Supreme Council attaches great importance to this planet, so much so that the main force of the Second Fleet to garrison the star field must also come from their own nest to be stationed here.

As early as five years ago, when the Second Fleet first stopped here, the highest level of the Lothar Federation sent a letter to the Supreme Council to give a reasonable explanation for the Second Fleet's move to the border, otherwise the war would resume after many years.

Fortunately, five years have passed, and the initial tension has slowly faded as time goes by, and the gold fleet of the Lothar Federation has also come and gone, and in the end, only one of the three silver fleets is stationed in the nearest Lothar star field to guard, nominally to guard their southern star field, but in fact to deal with the second fleet, of course, along with the fleet there are countless merchants, spies, mercenaries. The people of the Lothar Federation also knew about the planet Gaia for a long time, such a big ball, and so many fleets were stationed, it was definitely impossible to hide it, but in addition to congratulating them, they didn't explore too much after all.

Without the pressure of the Lothar Federation, there is only one last one thing left, and that is one of the great twilight civilizations in the center of the galaxy---- Holy Guardian (a name translated from the language of the Federation). This is an ancient civilization that went into space 20,000 years ago, or even more, and they seem to have lost their passion for expansion because they are so old that they shrink to the center of the galaxy as guardians of the galaxy all year round, they are as powerful as the rising sun, but they act like a crumbling twilight sunset.

They can easily start a galactic war, but they will only be bound by the rules they have followed for tens of thousands of years, day after day, and there has never been any transgression or expansion.

This holy guardian is such a civilization. Although they are technologically advanced to the point of convincing, they still establish the country with some kind of ancient religious polity, and claim to protect all the holy relics and holy places within the galaxy, the so-called holy relics are those ancient relics left by the ancestral civilization that can be traced back to ancient times, such as the subspace channel, but if anyone dares to destroy the channel, this ancient civilization called "Galactic Guardian" will take action. In the same way, there are some planets that they consider to be holy places, and the unified feature of those planets is that they have a near-perfect ecological environment, and some of them hide ancient ruins and relics, and they believe that this kind of planet is a gift from their noble religious gods to the galaxy, and will not allow foreign civilizations to change and colonize it, so they will not hesitate to intervene in any civilization that dares to interfere, colonize and destroy the holy land.

Within the galaxy, the fleets of all the emerging civilizations could not resist them, as the Empire had tried forty years ago, and the results were clear. Thirty of the sixty-three Death Stars in the Empire were caused by the isolated legion of one of the Twilight Civilizations, and now it has become the highest level of political secrets that the Supreme Council of the Empire cannot reveal to the people, and the people of the Empire have always believed that it is caused by the civil war, and among those who know the truth, all those who dare to reveal the truth will be completely silenced by the Supreme Council.

Five years ago, they discovered this perfect planet, and naturally understood that the first thing they wanted to do was to send a consultation to the ancient civilization that was entrenched in the center of the galaxy, if this planet was not included in the Holy Land, then the United Empire of Mankind would add another member, or the most potential member, it could even be compared to the Fortress of Freedom, becoming the new core of the Western Star Field.

Now, when he finally got a reply, how could he not be anxious? The ancient civilization acted like a slow snail, tormenting him for five years, and the Second Fleet was even rusting here, and the pain of this period could not be said to be dissipated, and he also understood that anxiety was meaningless to the progress of things, but if only things were so simple.

"By the way, is there any good news for the expert group studying the sacred relics of the planet Gaia?"

His wife is the secretary of the Gaia system's planetary management department and a member of the fleet's secretariat, and he needs to ask her to verify many matters related to the fleet's communication with the planet Gaia.

"Not yet, but there was a guy who broke his leg the other day."

"It's okay not to die," he didn't expect anything from these archaeologists, five years was enough time to kill anyone's expectations, and neither did he.

"In a few days, there will be a group of archaeology professors from the Empire," he said, sipping his hot tea, he was a little tired of the old antiques, "and you will deal with them then." ”

Madame smiled knowingly, of course she knew what her husband was thinking. "I come to bother you every day, are you tired of me?" She teased softly, "Parr, I want to hear the truth. ”

His Royal Highness was almost choked by her words. Every time he talked about a similar topic, he always didn't know what to say, so he used to use the trick of changing the subject, "Why should I bother you?" By the way, does Heary have a letter? “

She sent a letter half a month ago, leaving only four words as always, "Okay, don't read it." ““

The Prince shook his head bitterly, "I think she's getting tired of our promises. He remembered that he had promised her every year that he would visit her, and he couldn't help but feel even more sour, "We owe her so much." “

Madame also had the same feeling for his self-blame, "This is Valen's mission, born in the royal family, we are all born to ourselves, she is a smart child, she must understand." That being said, Parr knew that his wife had always loved her only daughter, and that she loved Ciri more than herself. This made him jealous before, and it also made him feel guilty all the time, his wife gave up her favorite and chose to come to Gaia, which was probably the most painful choice in her life.

When the prince thought of this, he couldn't help but be touched, and he kissed her and hugged her for a long time.......

"There's news from the communications office," the prince heard the sound of the communicator ringing, and he subconsciously let go of his wife, and he looked at the button of the display, and inexplicably felt uneasy.
