Chapter 417: Prelude to Burying the Old World! [a]
"It must be successful!"
A hoarse, almost exhausting roar suddenly sounded in the silent battleship that was silent, in the vast starry sky, I don't know how long it has been wandering, and I don't know how long it will continue to wander.
Those mottled traces that seemed to be alive in the blood were still fresh in the sight, so clearly met his eyes, and the thunder flickered in the silent darkness, converging, and slowly condensed into his figure.
He coughed violently, like an oxygen-starved fish, staggering to the ground almost suffocating, breathing heavily, pressing his hands on the cold ground, those twisted and mottled embroidery marks, mocking the hypocrisy and kindness he once possessed like silent evidence of guilt.
He slowly raised his palm and looked at it carefully, the body of energy that had been re-condensed was clean and clean, not stained with any dust, but at this moment, here, he could clearly see the blood on his hands.
The silent darkness was like a net, tightening his throat, and in the deep darkness, it seemed as if there were endless souls crying and roaring.
In the darkness of hell, in the sound of endless weeping, he stood up, and slowly opened his eyes, which were red, as if they were stained red with blood.
He walked step by step across the dark bridge, walked out of the battleship, walked step by step to the dark starry sky, and finally stood on the top of the battleship full of decay, death, sin, and blood, and lowered his head to look at the huge handwriting that had gone through countless years and still not faded in color.
The blessing called hope and the future turned out to be red by blood, or from the beginning, the hope and future that can illuminate the way forward in the darkness are the light soaked in blood......
Massive. The almost decaying battleship, after wandering for countless years, finally ushered in a new mission again, turned around, and he just stood in the starry sky, stepping on the rotten battleship. Go in the direction he saw.
……
Boom Boom!
The dark starry sky, illuminated by artillery fire, is underway in a small-scale interstellar war between the Third Fleet of the Muller Federation and the Sixth Fleet of the Twin Eagle Empire.
In order to compete for this spatial jump point that can lead to the new river system, the two sides have been fighting dozens of times in a year, large and small.
Yes, fighting, not war. Even if it appears in the media of both countries, it will only be replaced by a sentence of border friction lightly. The civilians will not know how many people have been sacrificed in this so-called border friction.
"There must be traitors!"
Vice Admiral Harvey of the Third Fleet was extremely angry and smashed the table in front of him with a punch, "How could those bastards of the Twin Eagle Empire know that we are here!" This exploration operation is A-class secret!
"We were betrayed. Or do you want to believe that the hillbillies of the Double Eagle Empire have cracked our communication code? ”
No one answered Lieutenant General Harvey. The members of the meeting were all low-browed, as if they wanted to study what kind of material the table in front of them was made of.
See the look of this group of people. Lieutenant General Harvey was suddenly a little weak, the people's hearts were scattered, and the team was not easy to lead.
In the past two years, the Muller Federation has been plagued by external and internal troubles, and Patton, the chairman of the Federation, has been impeached and removed from office in a rare way before the second term of the federation has not had time to begin. And the one who shot was the Earl of Tianguang, to whom Lieutenant General Harvey was loyal.
As the lieutenant general of the federation and the hot federation general, Lieutenant General Harvey has been a little incomprehensible to the changes in the federation recently, although there are rumors that there seems to be something wrong with the earl, and the nobles within the federation have been actively resisting the orders of the Earl's Court recently.
This makes everyone realize. The Mueller Federation may be about to have a big problem.
But the weirdness of it, even Vice Admiral Harvey can't see it clearly, but it doesn't prevent some changes from happening, such as the Twin Eagle Empire has recently become extremely tough on the border, and many of his captains loyal to him have been transferred, which seems to prove one thing, the Muller Federation is going to be in trouble.
Perhaps the Earl didn't like Patton's approach and wanted to intervene directly in the federal government. Maybe something really went wrong with the Earl, so the nobles couldn't wait to take more benefits from the Earl.
Harvey knew that it was something that only nobles could think about, and what he had to do was to firmly grasp his position, which was the only advantage he could survive.
Therefore, even if it is just a customary voyage to open up a new river system, Vice Admiral Harvey is also doing it himself, firstly, to show his feelings, and secondly, he does not want to take this opportunity to temporarily leave the center of the whirlpool of the Federation and wait and see what happens.
But in any case, he never thought that a routine exploration mission would be ambushed by the Double Eagle Empire at the jump point.
After all, the other end of the jump point, but in the hands of the Muller Federation, how could the fleet of the Double Eagle Empire pass through the guò jump point, could it be said that the Double Eagle Empire has completely started a war with the Federation? The Dark Jupiter Domain has been lost?
Or rather, it was just a deal, a naked betrayal, to let him die, and then the position of commander of the Third Fleet was vacated......
Countless thoughts swirled through Harvey's mind, his gaze swept over every captain who participated in the meeting, he sneered in his heart, and repeated again: "This is a shameful betrayal, I swear that I will find out the bastard who betrayed us!" ”
"Guys, I don't understand your calm, do you think that the ambush of the Double Eagle Empire will only kill me alone, can't you?"
"Or rather, you sold me together!"
At the end of the day, Harvey became murderous.
The captains looked at each other, and after a moment, one of them said quietly, "Your Excellency, Commander." We're under heavy shelling from the Eagle Empire right now, and if nothing else, then I'll need to go back to commanding my ships......"
"Yes, now is not the time to pursue the traitors, we should think carefully about how to deal with the people of the Double Eagle Empire first......"
"My ship is being shelled, sorry, I have to disconnect......"
Looking at the captains who disappeared into the communication one by one, Harvey's face was completely gloomy, and seeing that only three anxious henchmen were still in the end who were still communicating, Harvey suddenly waved his hand weakly and laughed at himself, "It's okay, at least not everyone betrayed me." ”
"Head, there are some things that you may not know very well, but it seems that something really is wrong with the Earl's Court. So ......"
"So I'm a lackey of the Earl's Court, I have to be cleared, right?!"
Harvey suddenly sneered, "Do you think I don't know? But they still underestimated Lord Earl, look, Lord Count quickly let these damn clowns know whose Federation this Federation is! ”
A few henchmen perked up, knowing that Harvey might have any hole cards, and wanted to ask, but Harvey waved his hand, "It's good that you understand." Now is not the time to talk about this, wait until I send the miscellaneous pieces of the Double Eagle Empire away. ”
……
"Sir, it's Harvey's communication from the Third Fleet, do you want to connect?"
"Pick it up, why don't you pick it up? Let me see what Harvey, the hyena, can offer me a good price. Haha, wait until I take Harvey's money, and then we'll go and let these federal dogs continue dog-eat-dog! ”
"But, sir, aren't we here to ambush the Third Fleet?"
"You don't understand, a chaotic Muller Confederation is more in the interests of the Empire. If we do make a move, believe me, those Federation dogs will definitely turn their guns around and unite against the Empire? ”
"I'm not stupid enough to make excuses for the Federated dogs."
Vice Admiral Thor, commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Double Eagle Empire, said with a sneer. For the Twin Eagle Empire, killing a Federation general is naturally good, but compared to keeping the Muller Federation in chaos, Harvey's life is not worth mentioning.
"Report to the sir, the space scanner has spotted an unidentified warship, and it is rapidly approaching the ......"
"Blow it up!"
Thor waved his hand, signaling that the lieutenant could connect to the link from Harvey.
"But, sir...... It has already been covered by two saturation salvos, but the opponent is still approaching quickly! ”
The commander of the naval guns, trembling with horror, cried out.
"What?!"
Thor was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, but he made a decision immediately, "Notify the other warships, share the coordinate points, and immediately cover the salvo!" ”
"But...... Sir, there's a man standing on that unidentified battleship......"
"Are you an idiot......"
Thor was furious, but quickly realized what that meant.
"Yes. He was standing on the top of the battleship, and all artillery fire was stopped......"
"Damn, that's a nobleman......"
Almost a flash of thought crossed Saul's mind, and he immediately understood what that meant, "Ceasefire, ceasefire!" Prepare to retreat immediately...... No, immediately turn off the engine, let go of the shield, and send a space broadcast to identify us, and then ...... Wait for the Lord to decide. ”
Almost at the same time that the Twin Eagle Empire discovered the unidentified warship, the fleet of the Muller Federation also discovered that after a short period of shock and confusion, the two fleets tacitly stopped fighting, turned off their engines, let go of the protective shield, and then sent out a space broadcast to identify themselves.
This is also the conventional disposition of the aristocracy in the universe, the privileges of the nobility, the strength of the nobility, which can be expressed from this point alone. In front of the aristocracy, the ship and cannon that ordinary people rely on have no meaning.
"Here, how can there be a nobleman?!"
Thor and Harvey were both thinking about this in their minds, and then nervously waited for the unknown battleship to approach, it was close enough to see what it looked like.
It was a ruined battleship, and it looked as if it had been wandering in the stars for a long time, and maybe they could smash it to pieces with just one shot.
But no one dared to move, for there was a nobleman standing on the battleship, who was looking at them coldly. (To be continued......)
