On the Flying Wing Star, a prosperous hotel, has begun to close its doors at this moment.

Gu and Fofana have completely enclosed this place for the engagement ceremony in the near future.

Many people from afar, who had come specifically to attend the ceremony, had already stayed in the hotel.

Among them are many descendants of the Fofana family.

A group of young people wearing Navy uniforms, or Naval Academy uniforms, gathered together to chat:

"What do you say about the representative of the younger generation of Fofana, who is not going to get married?"

"It's up to the brothers in the future!"

"I think Jota is good, you have to carry everyone's hopes."

"It's still far away, it's still far away......"

"At least you won't 'marry' someone else, will you? Hahaha......"

The young people were unbridled and upright, telling the latest stories in the family. There is not necessarily much malice, but the original jealousy has more or less an outlet to vent through this matter.

This is normal.

Among the crowd, not to mention those who are still studying hard in the Naval Academy, those who have come out to serve, the highest rank is just a major.

A major at this age is already quite remarkable in the naval sequence. is still young, with the support of the family behind him, and some years and qualifications, in case he can make some military exploits again, the future rank of general is not impossible to expect.

But this kind of thing also depends on who you compare it with.

There is a woman in the family who is about the same age and is already a general.

It's hard not to be jealous.

They didn't think much else, they just complained that the Yu family was too partial, and gave Yelicia too much preferential treatment.

After graduating from the Naval Academy, why does everyone have to work up from the junior officer to the position of Yelicia to become the acting captain? Why did she set up a stage and conduct an exercise, and just rely on the results of the naval exercises to make her jump another level and become the captain of a large cruiser like the quintet, with the rank of brigadier general?

Now it is the relationship between the family at the top level, and he is crazy to brag, and he directly praises Yelicia as a star from the sky, an unborn genius fleet general......

Come on!

Such an opportunity, give a pig can fly, give me, I will definitely be able to do better than Yelicia!

How many of the younger generations of the Fofana family would have this idea?

I don't know, but at least there are some people gathered here.

It's just that these words of jealousy are not easy to say. Elicia is truly a representative of the younger generation, and her status is here, not at the same level as them. If you say those things, you will only laugh at them.

But now, when Elicia is about to get married, some words can be said in another way by using this excuse.

In the midst of chatting, a person suddenly dragged his companion next to him and made a gesture of his eyes.

The others followed their gaze, and a young woman dressed in the Imperial Rear Admiral's dress was walking not far away.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

Even under the pretext of Elicia's marriage, some things can be said in private, but not in person—they don't have the guts.

And Yelicia, on the other hand, went straight to them.

Her head was held high, her neck extending from the compact neckline of the gown, white and slender, her eyes looked down on everyone with arrogance and contempt, and on her epaulettes, the star shone brightly.

was uncomfortable with her, plus some weakness, someone said curtly: "Sister......"

As soon as the salutation came out, Yelicia waved her hand.

"Major, you're going to call me a general."

"Yes." The highest-ranking major among the young men instinctively stood upright, saluted, and said, "Hello Your Excellency! ”

Elixia's gaze quickly turned to the others.

All the people she saw could only stand upright and salute.

This scene, in the eyes of others, has no sense of disobedience at all.

Is there anything wrong with a group of junior naval officers, when facing a general, standing in line and waiting for the general's lecture?

Looking at these cousins and junior officers in front of her, Yelicia originally wanted to say some sarcastic words, such as ridiculing their gang, none of them had many achievements in the military academy, and they did not perform well in the army, even if the family wanted to support them, they were all a bunch of mud that couldn't support the wall.

She is qualified to say so.

They are all from the same family, is there any difference in the starting point? The power of the family has helped a lot, for example, the Naval Academy, which is extremely difficult for civilians and normal people to enter, and the children of Fofana will enter as soon as they say, and they are all in the top class.

But within the family, aren't everyone the same?

And I, Elixia, have all the top grades in the Naval Academy, many of which are the first in the same class, and have maintained them for many years, and have been like this throughout my academic career. In this way, she has the confidence to be able to obtain the qualification of an outstanding graduate of the Naval Academy, and to wear the rank of colonel and become an acting captain after graduation.

Her cousins, all of whom were hanging in the back of their grades in school, why should they compare with her?

He also said that the military exercise that made Yelicia jump from acting captain to the rank of brigadier general was not specially prepared for her, but there was such an opportunity, she entered, the family set up the stage, and she could only become the protagonist if she sang well. It is only with the foundation of one's own ability that the strength of the family can be effective.

She wasn't the only one of the Fofana family who participated in that exercise, so why didn't you little brothers sing any tricks?

Elisia never denied that the Fofana family had brought her everything. Without a family, it was a luxury for her to even enter the Naval Academy; Even if she enters, even if she has excellent grades, even if she gets an outstanding graduate without a family, she can't directly become a captain, at best, she is a school officer, and she starts to work on her qualifications from a certain position on a starship.

However, others can say that only the descendants like her in the family are not worthy of saying so.

You have the same conditions, but you haven't been able to do one-tenth of mine, what kind of face is yin and yang here?

However, in the end, Elicia still didn't say anything.

When these words were about to be spoken, she looked at the young people standing in front of her, who seemed a little uneasy, and suddenly felt very bored.

It's not interesting to bully people who are far inferior to themselves at these levels;

The unproductive juniors in the family themselves are not interesting;

The words they said about 'marrying' made her feel even more boring.

All those words that wanted to be spewed out were all gone in smoke with a sigh.

She waved her hand and shouted to dissolve.

The young men purified themselves as if they had been pardoned, and then they ran away.

And Yelicia no longer cares that these little guys will use this matter to make up their own 'prestige' and other words.

She was in a bit of a mood and wandered from the lobby of the hotel to a makeshift office.

She knocked on the door, got permission, and walked inside.

In the office, an old man sits.

The Dinghai God Needle and the cornerstone of the family, he is the old Fofana in the mouth of outsiders, and he is a war hero who retired from the Imperial Navy and above with the rank of general.

He has been retired for many years, but his influence is still present in the Pegasus fleet, as well as in the Imperial Navy throughout the starfield.

For this great-grandfather, Elicia is also very admired.

Although, the current old Fofana, looks like an ordinary kind old man.

She sat down in front of her great-grandfather.

Old Fofana raised his head and said, "In a bad mood? ”

Elicia hesitated, but nodded.

There is nothing to hide.

"Because of the engagement?"

“…… Be. "I understand that a family like ours needs to build and expand our influence through marriage. It's just that I thought that I didn't need to be a candidate for marriage anymore to show my worth. ”

"Of course." "Of course not, you are the most shining pearl in Fofana, you don't need to prove your worth, you are worth yourself." The clan will do its best to help you become a general, and will help you rise to higher positions in the future, and hope that you will lead the entire clan to go further in the future. If you don't want this marriage, of course you have a choice, and now I can tell Ms. Wang Qi to end this. ”

The words were all said for this part, but it was Yelicia who hesitated:

“…… No, you don't have to. I just ......"

With that, she rubbed her hair in annoyance.

Old Fofana sighed and said, "Look, little Elicia, this is our fate. We carry the responsibility on our backs, and even if no one really pushes us, we will still involuntarily carry it all on our backs. ”

"Little Elixia, you must remember that we, the Fofana family, have never been good at fighting for power and profit, and we have always established our prestige by dedicating ourselves to the empire and placing ourselves in the sea of stars. The foundation of our life is our ability and our merits. ”

"But for a long time, I could only be disappointed to see that the younger generations were becoming less and less like their predecessors. The family was supposed to be your help, but now it seems that it has become a constraint for many people. They were raised too 'well' in the family to withstand the wind and rain of the outside world. ”

"I am very pleased with your appearance, little Elixia, you have inherited the style of your predecessors. You are the best Fofana among the younger generation, and Gu Hang's kid seems to be the best one among their Gu clan. Without the saying that you married Gu, or that he became Fofana, Wang Qi and I mean very simply, we need to 'combine' in the future, a deeper combination. ”

"The situation in the Pegasus Star Region will become more and more chaotic, and the war between the Dragon Eagle Star Domain and the Irontooth Greenskin Alien will become more and more intense. Everything in the future will change dramatically. But, my child, it's possible that I won't see that day anymore. And Gu's, and we, have natural conditions for bonding. ”

"Let the best people on both sides, come together, and we need to fight the storm together."

Great-grandfather's words made Elicia lose her mind for a while.

Old Fofana didn't say anything more, he just pushed a document on the table forward.

Elicia asked, "What is it?" ”

Old Fofana smiled and said: "Marriage will never be your shackles. You take a look at this first. ”

She picked up the papers, glanced at them, and looked at old Fofana in amazement.

"Great-grandfather...... This...... You...... Do you suggest I accept it? ”

"I don't make any suggestions, and to be honest, I don't know if it's bad or good, and it's up to you how you choose."

Elicia was in a big tangle.

"Don't rush to give me an answer now, maybe you should discuss it with your fiancé."

"Fiancé......" Elicia was still quite embarrassed to hear this title.

……

"I don't make any suggestions, and to be honest, I don't know if it's bad or good, and it's up to you how you choose."

Gu Hang said to Yelicia.

He had just arrived at the winged star today and checked into the hotel.

There is no custom that the two parties cannot meet before the engagement ceremony, after Gu Hang came here and settled down, the first person he met was his mother Wang Qi, and the second person he saw was his future daughter-in-law, Yelicia Fofana.

When the two first met, the atmosphere between them was still a little rusty and even awkward.

But Gu Hang is not bad in this regard, he used the topic of fighting side by side before, and the atmosphere of the two of them was normal.

Then, Yelicia took the opportunity to mention one thing:

She now has an 'opportunity', or 'challenge', in front of her. The naval headquarters of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain will transfer half of the Pegasus fleet to leave the defense area of Pegasus and several surrounding star regions, and go to the star sectors captured by the irontooth greenskin alien to participate in the greenskin war.

It's not a small matter.

In the past, the Pegasus fleet has also been ordered to participate in the Greenskin War several times, and almost every time, the war has reached the point where the Pegasus fleet needs to be transferred, which means that the intensity of the war has risen to a certain standard.

That means the stakes become high.

The Irontooth Greenskins are not the primitive Greenskins, and they have dozens of plundering fleet numbers, as well as large warships.

After Yelicia led the team to the fallen star sector, she didn't just do safe work such as ground support, maybe she would have to have a tough battle with the greenskin fleet.

There is such a thing as a naval battle, if you lose, you will not survive, and if the ship bursts, you will definitely not survive.

This is a real war that kills people, and it's no joke.

Elicia can not go, she is the general star cultivated by the Fofana family, and she is the hope of the next generation, so she can't just give it away.

But again, it's an opportunity to earn merit.

She told Gu Hang about her entanglement in this matter.

And Gu Hang, who said the same thing as old Fofana, completely handed over the choice to Yelicia herself.

Then, he added: "I'm not sure, but I feel that if you want to go, I fully support you." Because this is you, this is the Elicia I know and I admire. ”

Elicia smiled.
