Chapter 61: A Thousand Miles to Deliver
In this world, there is never good intentions without a reason - malice without a reason can be seen everywhere.
Dussaint had never had such a deep understanding before, but now ...... learned that his mother had been kidnapped, and that the other party was actually Feuerbach, whom he had captured before...... Now Dussander is even more uncomfortable.
Why didn't he shoot this bastard at that time?
Dussander was extremely remorseful and angry at the same time. But reason told him that there was no use in being angry nowβhe had to find his mother's whereabouts as soon as possible.
At the same time, he had to find his father quickly.
Androni will be kidnapped, which means that Duchamp is definitely not with Androni. Considering that not long after he woke up, three steam knights entered the manor......
There is no doubt that the other party has a careful plan from the beginning. After all, Dussand's family controlled the secret service, the navy, and the executive legislature of Newsar. Whoever wants to strike at Newsar is unlikely to leave out the Dussart family.
Dussander was attacked, but he ran out and didn't say anything, and at the same time organized a counterattack with all the forces he could organize.
But Androni's luck was not so good - she was kidnapped.
That...... What about Duchamp?
Based on Dussand's own experience and what happened to Androni, there must be people who are eyeing Duchamp. But...... I don't know what my father's situation is now.
Dussaint took several deep breaths and walked back over to Colonel Philip.
"The lads did a great job." Dussaint said to him earnestly, "Colonel, in particular, your command is very highβyou will be remembered for your great role in the defense of Upper Albin. β
Mr. Colonel was visibly "frightened" by Dussand's words. He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he should salute. He slammed his heel and shouted, "Your command is my mission!" β
"You'll all be rewarded, I promise you." Dussander faced Colonel Philip and said earnestly, "All valiant battles will be rewarded, and all enemies will be rewarded with death." β

"Ahead is the location of Lord Dussand's headquarters." A horse-drawn carriage slowly stopped next to Syntagma Square. The coachman jumped out of the driver's seat and opened the door for the passengers, "Ma'am...... Are you sure? β
"I don't think there's a problem." The fat girl nodded, and walked out of the carriage briskly, "You can go backβI shouldn't need a carriage later." β
"I wish you all the best." The coachman sighed helplessly, he took a knife from his pocket and handed it over, "Although this thing is of little use in front of the soldiers, at least it can make you feel safer." β
"I'm in the safest place in all of Newsal." The fat girl rejected the coachman's offer, "Perhaps, you should go home as soon as possible."
With a firm step, the fat girl soon met the sentry who was on duty. Faced with the spear-wielding sentry, the fat girl just said to the sentry very calmly, "I know Lord Dussand, please tell him - I have brought the whereabouts of Lady Androni." β
A few minutes later, Dusund, who had rushed to the sentinel in a hurry, stopped with a confused expression. He looked at the fat girl and pondered for a moment before asking, "We've met before?" β
"You had breakfast in my store." The fat girl waved her right hand, which lacked index, middle and ring fingers, at Dusand and said, "At the same time, I have another identity - in the bazaar, my code name is 'Gourmet'. β
"Hello, Miss Gourmet." Dussander frowned and asked, "You talk to the sentinel...... Do you know my mother's whereabouts? β
"According to our information, Madame Andronie is currently under the control of Feuerbach, the director of the Mining Complex, and her current location is in the coal yard behind the Upper Albin railway station. Madame ...... now Should still be alive. β

"Your Excellency, the sixth jump is complete." In the sea of stars outside of Newsar, a powerful fleet is shuttling between the stars. Numerous bizarre asteroids streaked around the hull, and occasionally some of them crashed headfirst into the armor plates of the capital ship, shattering their bones and leaving a shallow crater in their wake.
"According to the orders of the Admiralty...... the navigator floated to the center of the command room with the command and navigation chart, "this is our final destination. β
"In other words......" The gray-bearded fleet commander glanced at the steam clock in front of him, then looked at the navigation chart, which was completely devoid of the "Friendly Forces Spotted" sign, and said after a few seconds, "The garrison should have arrived late to meet us." β
There was a burst of laughter from the command compartment of the fleet.
"Newsar's garrison is the most powerful of all the colonial garrisons." The adjutant next to the fleet commander began to praise with great discernment, "But no matter how 'powerful' the colonial fleet is, it is just a group of laymen. They simply do not have the expertise to be close to that of the Second Guards. β
His Excellency the Commander was obviously very useful for such "flattery", but he still needed to verbally express his opposition to this undisguised "stomping", "According to the order of the Admiralty, we will all need to join the sequence of the Newsar Garrison Navy in the future. For our future comrades-in-arms, we must uphold the attitude of helping and fraternal, and believe that these amazing sailors who are also loyal to the empire will soon become qualified naval ......"
"Colonel, return from the lookout." Before the bearded colonel could finish his sentence, the sailors reported that "a large destroyer appeared thirty-two miles in front of our ship and signaled light. β
"Colonel, the signal station returns. The large destroyer is the Newsar Garrison Navy sequence 'Good Guy Anderson', and the signal translation is as follows. β
[On the orders of Colonel Duchamp, the commander of the fleet, your ship should immediately follow your ship into the Newsar interstellar landing field for review. γ
[On the orders of Colonel Duchamp, the commander of the fleet, if your ship refuses to obey the order, the garrison fleet will launch an attack on your ship and other ships. γ
[On the orders of Colonel Duchamp, the commander of the fleet, your ship has three minutes to decide whether to obey the order. γ
Everyone in the command room was in an uproar, and the faces of several staff officers turned white in an instant, "What are you planning to do with the Nyusar Garrison Navy?" Are they going to rebel? β
The bearded commander suddenly looked at the navigation chart on the side, and after a few seconds, his face suddenly darkened.
"We're already surrounded." The bearded commander said with a dark face, "Lookout, observe the naval headquarters of the Newsal garrison - have all of their ships left Starport?" β
"Yes, Mr. Colonel." The voice in the lookout trembled a little, "There is not a single ship in the starport of the Newsar Garrison. β

"What the hell are these people here for?" About twenty-four miles away from the Second Royal Guard Fleet, Duchamp and his fleet huddled behind a tattered asteroid, waiting for the Royal Guard, which had already entered the ambush circle, to respond.
According to the order of the Admiralty received by Duchamp, he was clearly informed that a group of warships would come to Newsal and join the garrison, and from then on he was under his command.
This order was issued by the Admiralty a month ago, and Duchamp, who saw it at the time, almost did a live backflip - the Admiralty masters of Orin were finally merciful!
The support sent by Olin included two capital ships, four battle cruisers, twelve large cruisers, and twenty-two destroyers. This number is even comparable to all the current foundations of the Newsal Garrison - such a generous move can even make the Newsal Garrison directly become the most powerful of the entire colonial garrison.
If some more warships are added, the Newsar Garrison Navy may indeed be directly renamed the "Sixth Imperial Guards".
But after the blockade of Newsar, Duchamp immediately realized a sad fact - the support sent by Orin was bound to be lost.
Despite his grief, Duchamp was quick to accept this fact. But what is surprising is that after Dussand's big rebellion that "for the sake of the whole of Newsar, there should be a rebellion", the observation post of the garrison sent the reconnaissance results of "friendly forces entering the system".
Newsar has been completely isolated, and both Androni and Dussander have decided that only rebellion can keep everyone alive...... In this state, a powerful fleet suddenly broke into the system of Nyusar. Duchamp, as the commander of the garrison, would of course be very vigilant.
So, he set such a "trap". If the other party finally decides to follow the order and enter the Newsar interstellar landing field, it means that this fleet is a safe piece of fat. If the other party refuses...... The garrison fleet, which occupies a favorable position and can carry out a sneak attack, can also destroy more than half of the "support fleet" in the first wave.
Of course, this is not "chivalrous", and the Newsal garrison itself may face huge losses...... But at least it's better than doing nothing.
The garrison of Newsar was not "monolithic" at all levels, and not all commanders could follow Duchamp's orders and open fire on a fleet that was clearly part of the same empire. In order to ensure that his orders could be carried out, Duchamp directly relieved him of all the duties of the six captains who he was not sure of before he set off.
Such behavior is, of course, inappropriate, and even a serious violation of the law. The commander of the garrison has the right to suspend any captain of his fleet, but this "suspension" must be accompanied by clear evidence. For example, a certain captain intended to rebel or rebel, or he was directly taken away by Aika's people.
But the two smartest people in their own family felt that they should protect themselves by rebellion...... It seems that suspension for violation of the law is not a completely unacceptable thing,
The current Nuussal garrison was completely controlled by Duchamp's men, and the fleet would not hesitate to open fire, at least.
But...... Why did these guys come to Newsal?
