In a somewhat monotonous space, except for the blue planet of the Heavenly Star in the distance, which seems to be vibrant, there are no other planets in the surrounding space that can contain life. From the perspective www.biquge.info of space, the Paradise Star is lonely, at least in the vast star field around it, and it is the only planet that has nurtured civilization. But in this day and age, distant star paths are no longer the root cause of the explorer's pace, so the so-called loneliness is only relative.

The space is distorted, and the things around it stretch and deform, as if looking through a convex mirror. Then at the middle point of the warped space, something else enters the space, which stretches with the space and returns to normal as the space shrinks. When this stopped, a starship that had just escaped the warp channel appeared in space.

The star-like porthole flap began to rise, allowing the passengers inside to see the scenery outside, even if there was nothing to admire in this space. However, when the corner of the heavenly star in the distance was reflected in the window of the porthole, Alan couldn't help but look at the blue planet.

"We're back." Edward said, "But we have other things to do before we return to the Heavenly Star. ”

Alan glanced at him, but didn't ask what it was. The starship had already begun to move, and as it passed a meteorite swarm, it saw a Gemini locator set up near a dead star in the distance. Locators flicker in space, unmanned machines acting as a medium for communication with the lunar space station. It was through it that Allen and his party were able to return to Earth, and now that they see it, Alan has basically guessed what other things Edward said.

Despite being a merchant ship, the starship is also equipped with weapon systems, but it is not as good as the various combat ships that are specifically designed for combat. Two missile launchers were raised at the front of the starship, and several missiles erupted, sending out several missiles. Dragging the orange tail flame across the space, Allen, who was in the cabin, saw that the missile hit the locator a few seconds later, and the twin stars immediately turned into a brilliant firework, and countless pieces of burning metal flew in all directions.

After blowing up the locator, the bottom of the merchant ship's hull opened, and five or six barrel-like objects were ejected from the starship, and as soon as they left the starship, lights began to flicker on the surface. Then a circle of blue lightning erupted from the tail, and then flew away in different directions. After a few moments, these things had become points of light that were constantly moving away.

"Those are signal transmitters." Edward explained: "If you blow up the twin stars, then the specific coordinates of the Heavenly Star will be lost on the other side of the earth, and they can open the warp speed channel in this star field, but the location is random, and it will take a lot of effort to find the Heavenly Star again." As for the signal transmitters, they will interfere and mislead them if the Federation wants to track us through the signals of this starship. ”

Alan nodded, Edward's plan was still cautious. It's just that the destruction of the twin stars also means that they will not be able to return to Earth in a short time.

After the transmitters were ejected, the starship turned around, and the tail engine erupted, propelling the starship in the direction of the heavenly star. At the same time, in some unknown space, after a twist, several starships appeared in the void. Judging from the style of the starships, they belong to the Earth Federation, and the main ship has a symbol of black wings, which means that these starships belong to the ace legion "Black Wing".

In the command room of the main ship, Sylva looked listless. Even if the fleet suddenly broke out of the warp speed channel, it didn't seem to make the young admiral care much, he just asked casually: "What happened?" ”

Someone replied below: "Report to the General, the guidance signal of the twin stars suddenly disappeared, causing the warp channel to close prematurely. We are now positioning the space around us in order to confirm our location. ”

"The Gemini signal is gone?" Syllpha sat up slightly straighter and asked, "Then can we still reach the Heavenly Star?" ”

"We can get the lunar space station to reopen the passage, but without the signal guidance of the twin stars, we can only reach the star field where the heavenly star is located. After that, we'll need to search on our own, which will probably take some time. ”

"Be specific."

"It depends on the size of the space in the star field and the location of the Heavenly Star. Even if we have no one to go out. It will take at least three or five months to find the Heavenly Star......"

"That's right." Syllfa asked again, "Is there a way to find the signal of the opposing starship?" ”

"We're already doing that, but the radar shows six sources, they're in different directions, and they're still moving."

Sylva laughed, "That's fine. ”

The adjutant next to him was confused and asked, "General, what do you think?" ”

"My opinion is that now we can't track the target, this mission has failed, and we are going back."

The adjutant was stunned, he had been following Syllfa for a while, and it was clear that this mild-looking young admiral was not the kind of person who gave up easily. It is even more rare for this mission to be abandoned before it even begins, so the adjutant confirmed: "Are we not going to follow it anymore?" ”

"Yes, we Black Wings are no longer accepting any similar missions. We have more important responsibilities to do, and I will personally report this to Mr. President. If he still wants to track the target, ask him to send another legion to carry it out. Syllfa stood up and said, "I'm tired, apply to the lunar space station for a return passage, and let me know when you get back to Earth." ”

Ignoring the bewilderment of the lieutenant and the rest of the crew, Sylva stepped out of the control room. He went to his room alone, but remembered the scene when Allen was taken to the Iron Prison and he went to Mobit to ask for an explanation. But at that time, the president did not want to see him, and only left him a message: obey orders.

Silfa laughed after thinking about it: "Mr. President, what are you calculating, this is different from what the Ofascists agreed." ”

Heavenly Star.

Since the last invasion of the alien army, only to wipe out the halfway Federation army, the Duchy of Shadows seems to have abandoned the southern border. More than half a month has passed since the end of that war, but I have not seen half of the alien race again. Salon's Stag Army is still stationed in Unicorn Territory, and even has Keller return to the mountain city with an army.

Just as Ssalon thought, the mountain city did not see the shadow of the alien race, as if the sudden attack had frightened them, and the Shadow Duchy completely gave up on the intention of invading the empire from this frontier. As a result, Keller simply garrisoned the mountain town and rebuilt the fortifications. The people of the mountain city had proposed to move back more than once, but Sharon refused, so Remington had no choice but to appease the people and stay in Allen's territory for the time being.

With both Alan and Edward leaving, the responsibility for managing the territory fell to Lucy. As Allen's closest woman, she is almost duty-bound, but fortunately she has a dragon who is familiar with the affairs of the territory to help. These days, Lucy is also in good order. On this day, she had reviewed the budget application from Glory Academy, and there was no other work. In the study of the Lord's Mansion at Castle of Dawn, the afternoon sun fell on the dark desk, illuminating the golden rose ring on Lucy's finger. She turned the ring, and suddenly she missed the man so much.

After Eren returned to Earth, Lucy had no news of him at all. It's just that there are a lot of affairs on weekdays, and she spends almost all her energy on the management of the territory. It wasn't until now that I had free time that my thoughts about him came to my heart.

There was a knock on the door, and with Lucy's permission, the dragon pushed the door open. The tall and thin Oriental man said in a deep voice, "Miss Lucy, please go back now, Lord Allen, they are back." ”

Lucy's blue eyes lit up green, and she stood up and beckoned to the silver spider lying on the table in the sun. The silver spider jumped to its feet, turning into thousands of silver threads that landed on Lucy's wrist, and then spun around to turn into a silver bracelet. Lucy walked briskly out of the Lord's Mansion and got into a carriage to return to the newly built Pavilion. The Pavilion was a project that had been in place before the Alien invasion, and Edward built a Pavilion in several territories for Alan and the others to settle down.

Return to the tranquil setting on a hill north of Dawning Castle overlooking the city in the distance. Along with the hotel, there is a path connecting the city, as well as two rows of street lamps on the side of the road, etc. The carriage passed by the gate of the hotel and stopped in the small square in front of the main building, and Lucy saw Edward as soon as she got out of the car, and her heart sank when she saw Allen.

"Where's Alan?"

"He's in the room." Edward accompanied Lucy into the main building, and the two walked up the stairs in the lobby to the second floor. After turning into a corridor, Edward said, "Your Highness, this time Young Master Allen's experience on Earth was not very good, and something bad happened. ”

"Can you tell me?"

"Of course, I don't think most of those things the young master will take to heart, but there is one thing that he will definitely not be able to let go." Edward said in depth and simply: "When the young master was imprisoned by the Federation for no reason, Mr. Horn personally went to rescue him. But Mr. Horn could not return, and he was probably killed in the explosion at the prison. ”

"Oh my God." Lucy covered her mouth and snorted softly, she was well aware of Allen's feelings for Horn, and she knew what losing Horn meant to Allen. She didn't have to see Alan, she could already feel the smell of sadness wafting through the air.

"What can I do for him?"

Edward shook his head: "You don't have to do anything, as long as you are by his side and listen to him, it is the greatest comfort." On the way back, although Young Master Allen said that he was fine, as long as he was not blind, he could see that he was seriously injured. He pointed to his chest and continued: "He's just holding on, but this kind of emotion is very bad for the young master. I think now, only you can free him. ”

"Only His Highness can do this!"
