Ten minutes before the invasion of the Empire, in Earth orbit.

"Jiuquan, Jiuquan, this is the 'Heavenly Palace', everything is normal, everything is normal."

"Jiuquan received it, as soon as the chief left on his front foot, you came to the message. When the chief leaves, let me ask you, do you have better eyes after resting for two days, hahaha, do you still have dazzling hallucinations when you look at the moon? "The correspondent is a post-zero, no matter what the occasion, he will not be too restrained, and the jokes are still played. Of course, they naturally didn't dare to act like this when they were on business, and now they are just maintaining regular contact with Tiangong to ensure that everything is normal, and it is natural to make jokes to relieve the suppressed psychology of the astronauts.

The astronaut on the Tiangong scratched his head, not caring about the "offense" of the communication center in the command center's words, he was already accustomed to the style of this post-zero communicator, and said casually: "Rest well, probably hallucination." But I've already pointed the video at the moon, and if I have another hallucination, this video will be captured. ”

The correspondent laughed: "You are looking for the landing location of the 'Moon Rabbit', what kind of illusion are you looking for?" ”

"Hehe......"

The astronaut laughed for a while, but after a moment he couldn't laugh anymore. Just like last time, in the universe directly next to the moon, the space was violently distorted, and more than 300 warships appeared in their field of vision out of thin air. As three days ago, the sails of those battleships were painted with a double moon symbol. The astronaut rubbed his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and quickly pointed the video at the space fleet. The fleet of huge wooden sail warships, with large warships on three decks and four decks, is definitely the top power on the planet during the Great Voyage. Zooming in on the video, the expressions of the crew members on the deck dressed in medieval costumes are clearly visible, and the astronauts are really surprised that they are dressed in leather armor and iron armor in the style of medieval soldiers, and they appear inexplicably in space without being suffocated or drifting off the deck. As for the "humans" on those decks, it seems that there are still a pair of horns on top of their heads.

"This ...... What the hell is this? ”

The abrupt laughter made the communicator in the command center feel nervous, only listening to the astronauts of the space station class exclaiming, what is the situation? What is the big brother of Tiangong doing? Blinking, holding the microphone, the communicator who didn't dare to make a sound asked: "Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Palace, this is the command center, what happened?" ”

The astronaut rubbed his eyes again, lowered his head to confirm the picture on the electronic device, made sure that it was not a hallucination caused by his own dazzle, and then said with a smile on his face: "You may not believe it, just like three days ago, I saw a wooden sailboat next to the moon again. And this time not one, but hundreds, a huge fleet. ”

You meow to tease me, the correspondent was annoyed: "Are you sure you're not teasing me?" You said the same thing three days ago, and it turned out to be. ”

"And the ship disappeared!" The astronaut's serious words sounded in the command center, and as soon as the words fell, the astronaut screamed, and the huge fleet disappeared in front of his eyes again, "I went, and disappeared again!!! ”

“……”

The command center was speechless for a while, and the astronauts moved their minds, and suddenly thought of the various equipment in the space: "By the way, I have a video, and I just happened to have a video, and I will send the captured picture over." ”

After a moment of silence in the command center, he said, "Okay, you can pass it over." ”

The speed of transmitting documents from Tiangong to the command center is very fast, and although quantum communication has not yet been popularized, it has been used in the military and some high-level scientific research units. When the astronaut pressed the transmission, the space center received the video sent by the astronaut with a "ding".

The receiver of the command center quickly opened the file and played it directly on the large screen of the command center. At first, the picture is a shot of an astronaut facing the moon, and the conversation between the command center correspondent and the astronaut is also very clearly heard in the picture. The astronauts seem to be looking for something on the moon, presumably the landing site of the moon hare. But it didn't take long for the astronauts to sigh, the camera flickered, and it turned to the moon, and the wooden sail battleship that the astronauts said appeared in the picture.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

The space fleet composed of 300 warships, this earthquake is on the way to Zizi, the car is struck, the people are rubbed on their shoulders, the curtains are formed, the clothes are raised into a curtain, and the sweat is rain, which makes people shake the tiger's body. Look at the sail battleship again, this material Dansha is refined into three-baht soil, Xuanfa is seen as a handful of silk, Lao sends new poems to comfort, and does not smell the regeneration of dead trees, which makes people look sideways. The entire fleet directly suppressed the personnel of the command center, and whispered: "How is this possible, such a large fleet, or a wooden sail battleship, it is impossible to appear in the universe at all." And those 'people' on deck? Why can they stand on the deck without protection!? ”

This special meow is still true, the correspondent was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up the red phone next to him, and dialed the number: "First ...... Heads!! This is the Kuquan Command Center!! ”

On the other end of the phone, the chief, who had just walked on his front foot, picked up the phone and asked with a serious face, "What's the matter?" In a hurry? ”

"The first... Chief, I... I think it's necessary for you to go back to the command center again, Tiangong he ......"

The correspondent spoke so much that the chief thought that something was wrong with the Tiangong, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with the Tiangong?" ”

The correspondent swallowed his saliva, bit his lower lip, and said noncommittally: "Tiangong discovered that a fleet appeared near the moon, and... Then it disappeared again. ”

"This ......" looked at the correspondent's tone, it didn't seem like he was joking with himself, and he didn't dare to joke with himself. The chief immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, if there was a fleet in the universe, then it was likely to be an alien fleet, and hurriedly shouted into the other end of the phone: "Okay! Good! I'll be right here! ”

At this time, the command center is in a mess, this is the third type of contact? It's someone from the Kuquan command center who has never met before. It didn't take long for the chief to stride back, looking at the noisy command center and then at the picture on the huge monitor. It was a huge fleet, and I roughly estimated in my mind that there were no less than a hundred. However, what made him curious was that these warships turned out to be wooden sail warships.

"The chief is here!"

Hearing the chief's arrival, the staff of the command center seemed to have found the backbone, and the chief pondered for a moment and asked, "How long has it been?" ”

"Report Chief! Five minutes ago! ”

The chief came to his seat and sat down, then the index finger of his left hand quickly hit the table, thinking about countermeasures, and after a moment raised his head and asked, "They disappeared for no reason?" ”

"That's right."

At this time, the correspondent rushed to say: "Chief, the same situation as three days ago, could it be the same incident?" ”

The chief stared at the correspondent with a frown, and asked uncertainly: "You mean that the astronauts on the Tiangong didn't have their eyes spent, aren't they joking?" ”

In an instant, the correspondent did not know how to reply. However, the chief Yu Guang glanced at the screen that was still playing on a loop on the monitor, then sighed and said, "Let Jiuquan's defense forces enter combat readiness, and prepare to contact the top and the military." ”

Although it is not known why this fleet suddenly appeared next to the moon and why it suddenly disappeared. However, no matter what their purpose was, it was enough to attract the attention of Jiuquan.

After enacting a series of countermeasures, the chief took a deep breath, opened the drawer under the desk that was stacked with all sorts of strange papers, and took out a booklet from it. I saw the words "Guide to Contact with Aliens" written on the booklet, and the chief opened it for a while, and then silently put it into his arms and hid his merit and fame.

In the fleet of 100,000 expeditionary forces, a luxurious four-deck warship, Albert, the second son of the emperor, in the huge captain's room, is discussing the next countermeasures with his senior officers. Emperor Afis had five children, the eldest son Neo, the second son Albert, the eldest princess Vivi, the third son Sini, and the youngest princess Nia. The succession law of the Bimoon Empire is the family election succession law, and the male priority system. In order to ensure that the empire can be inherited by an excellent prince, Afis arranged for Neo, Albert and Sini to participate in this war together, as for Princess Vivi's Knights of the Rose, it is better to stay in the empire and continue to be a vase, His Majesty Afis has no expectations for this group of girls to pretend to be a family. Archmage Hasim swore to guarantee the primitiveness of the sea blue star, so there is no need to wait, let the three princes take the lead first, and add a marshal, I am afraid that the vanguard troops can conquer this sea blue star, and the senate is enough for their own emperors.

Albert had done a good job in this war, with 100,000 vanguard troops, and the three princes each received 10,000 men, and Albert had obtained 10,000 as many equipment as possible from the nobles who supported him to arm the 10,000 men under his command. The competition for the throne between the three princes is not a matter of one or two days, in addition to the third prince, the eldest prince and the second prince are all popular candidates for the throne.

Albert's subordinate Archmage Cameron was dressed in a light blue robe, pinching his long white beard in his left hand, and holding a metal staff inlaid with a huge magic crystal in his right hand, and said lightly: "Your Highness Albert, don't be complacent, I heard that His Highness Neo is also fully armed with the troops under his command this time." ”

Cameron is a famous thunder archmage in the Empire, and he is honest and stable, but not as manic as the thunderbolts he specializes in. When Albert was 4 years old, Cameron began to mentor Albert and was both a mentor and a friend. However, Albert did not become a magician, and when he heard the reminder of his teacher Cameron, Albert slammed his fist on the arm of the seat: "Damn Neo, most of the big nobles support him, I must get more merit in this war and bring more benefits to those nobles, so that the guys in the Senate will support me." ”

Cameron reminded Albert as usual: "Your Highness, our supporters are big businessmen and magicians, and there are not many nobles. But you don't have to worry, Your Highness, even if more than half of the big nobles support His Highness Neo, we still have a lot of big nobles who support us, as long as we plunder enough benefits for them in the sea blue star, then I believe that some centrists will also fall to you. ”

"I hope so, teacher." Albert propped his head, thinking of his number one rival Neo and feeling unhappy, and then thinking about his younger brother Cini, that guy who had little talent was favored by his father Afis, causing such a group of nobles to favor him, Albert couldn't help but complain: "That guy Cini is also here, may the moon god bless this fool not to lose his life in this war." ”

Cameron blinked his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, we only have 10,000 people in our hands, while the entire vanguard has an army of 100,000. It is not easy to get enough of the nobility and the Senate to support us. Either propose to Marshal Karachi to act as the vanguard, or follow Marshal Karachi and act at the right time to maximize his interests. ”

Albert clenched his fists tightly, and then rejected Cameron's first proposal: "Teacher, you can't propose to Marshal Karachi to be the vanguard. Marshal Karachi was the grandfather of Neo's wife, and he was a supporter of Neo. If I had proposed to Marshal Karachi to be the vanguard, then as the president of our army of 100,000, he would have agreed at once, and could not wait to send my 10,000 men to a place where there was no danger and no benefit. ”

Cameron nodded and said slowly, "It seems that I can only follow them and act when I have the opportunity." ”

Albert grinned: "But don't worry, teacher, for his granddaughter to become queen, he will definitely let Neo be the vanguard, and he will definitely be sent to those places with a lot of oil and water." However, for such a strange planet as Aquamarine, who can guarantee that there is really a lot of oil and water there, enough to satisfy the Senate and all the nobles. All three of us have autonomy in battlefield operations, and I will apply to Karachi for the right to move freely when I arrive at Aquamarine. I believe that in order to make Neo successfully ascend to the throne, Karachi will agree to me acting on my own, after all, if I don't follow the big army, there is not much oil and water in theory. This way, we can follow Albert and look for an attack. ”

As for Albert's proposal, Cameron is quite in agreement. Now the two best princes of the entire empire are about to compete on the battlefield of the Sea Blue Star for the future throne of the Two Moon Empire.

The magicians of the fleet activated the concealment circle, and the entire fleet disappeared into front of the Tiangong out of thin air, breaking into the atmosphere again. The Concealment Circle uses the magicians to stimulate the energy in the magic crystal, so that the entire fleet is shielded from all monitoring from optical and radar bands, and silently avoids almost all detection facilities of the human race.

However, the energy consumed by the Concealment Circle is huge, and after one use, the energy in the magic crystals used to release the Concealment Circle in the fleet will be depleted.

Jinmen, the seaside city. The beach was also closed after the incident three days ago when the crooked fruit people who drove an ancient warship to take revenge on society in the bathing area. That damn crooked nuts actually attacked here with real artillery, but the news said that they couldn't communicate with this group of crooked nuts for the time being, and it seemed that the language of these crooked nuts was not even understood by the police department, not English, not German, not French, not Russian, not Japanese, it seemed to be a rare language, which made the people in the police station sad. However, this has nothing to do with the management of the beach, they just want to quickly clean up the beach of what is left behind by the hapless tourists, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the beach is now almost a mess. On the sea, the sailboats and motorboats that were on fire had long been towed, and the bodies of the tourists who had unfortunately died were also taken from the sea yesterday afternoon. The beach also lost a lot of money because of this time, there is no way, this is a two-pronged society with a human system and a legal system. It's like a foreigner playing a double standard tune, when it's good for you, you will be legal, and when it's unfavorable to you, you will be in the system.

Looking for the faint signal source sent by the Imperial reconnaissance ship three days ago, all the battleships came to the beach, and in the captain's room of the battleship where Marshal Karachi was, the magicians accompanying the army looked at the corresponding data on the record stone and confirmed each other: "Is this it?" ”

"Well, that's it."

A division came to Marshal Karachi with his own shining record stone and reported to the old man in his 60s who had made great achievements in battle: "Marshal Karachi, we have arrived, and this is the coordinates sent by the reconnaissance fleet three days ago. ”

Karachi glanced at the glowing Recording Stone in the magician's hand, a magic crystal that would only light up when he reached the coordinate location, and it carved a coordinate recording circle on it. He knew this thing, and Karachi nodded and ordered, "Remove the hidden magic circle, and let all the soldiers prepare for landing." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the magician had removed the concealment circle in addition to his captain's room, Karachi asked an officer beside him, "What about the reconnaissance ship?" Didn't see them answer the arrival of the Grand Fleet? ”

The officer didn't understand what was going on, and the lookout on the mast looked for a few circles, but he didn't find any trace of the Explorer on the sea, and the legion had no choice but to guess: "Marshal, the fleet has not found any trace of the Explorer for the time being, will it find a place to hide the ship, and then all go deep into the interior to explore?" ”

Karachi still felt a little uneasy about the lack of a reconnaissance team. But there is no way, since he has come to the sea blue star and has ordered the magicians to remove the hidden magic circle, then he can only continue. It is impossible for them to stop the conquest of the sea blue star because there is no response from the reconnaissance team, such a thing cannot be done in Karachi.
