221 Genevia
Russell did not delve into who Benhardt Medius's "friend" was, and the fact that the other party could inform him of such a secret channel was already the greatest sincerity, and he would be a little ignorant of what to do.
In the Empire, fornication with aliens is a crime of murder.
What regent also fornicated with aliens. Well...... Actually, he hasn't woken up yet.
The two of them engaged in a lengthy bargaining session in the chamber, and eventually, Governor Banhardt wrote down a figure on the ship's specification sheet that would be acceptable to both sides.
"Well, it's a pleasure to work with." Banhardt held out his hand to Russell.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Russell shook his hand.
Benhart Medius ordered 1 Valkyrie-class battleship, 6 Whale Shark-class battlecruisers, a lot of "Steel Skull"-class heavy cruisers and "Breaking Formation-Breaking Sharp" class light cruisers, and even more destroyers, frigates, and mine-strike ships with lower specifications.
As long as Governor Banhardt's advance payment arrives, the economic situation of the Far Eastern Star Domain will immediately be much more prosperous.
That's right, Russell intends to use this thing as the official legal tender of the Far Eastern Star Field.
Back to the present. After the business was negotiated, the state of the Governor of Banhardt was noticeably relaxed, and his tired expression was also eased. He'd taken on the pressure of the Breaker for too long, and the weight of the burden nearly crushed Benhardt's body.
"Rest well, don't die suddenly, your dark circles remind me of an extinct ancient creature of Terra." Russell shrugged, opened the door and left the chamber.
The ship he was on was still sailing towards Klentarina, the capital planet of the Krenna sector.
The distance between Emerald Star and Krentalina is not very far, so the ship did not make a subspace voyage, but directly relied on the thrust provided by the plasma core, slowly drifting at sub-light speed.
Standing on the bridge and looking ahead, you can directly see the terrifying eyes of fear in the starry sky.
"The Eye of Fear, the largest subspace rift in the galaxy, it symbolizes distortion and depravity, despair and terror, and the color change that ordinary people talk about." A heroic voice came from behind Russell, a female officer in a Navy uniform.
Russell turned his head and saw a pair of purple eyes. Look at her shoulders again, with the rank of general.
"Admiral...... This rank is usually the supreme commander of the Imperial Navy in a sector. Russell thought to himself.
Admiral smiled at him, and continued, "The Eye of Fear is terrifying, but for us who have been living in the abyss since childhood, the strange image above the sky is something that we have long been accustomed to. ”
"I see." Russell replied nonchalantly, and handed her a form casually.
"I'm the messenger of the bullet star, just call me Russell."
"Gladly, Lord Russell. My name is 'Genevia', Ginevia Limstella. As she spoke, she politely took the form he handed out with both hands.
Genevia has a crush on Russell when they first meet, probably because he lets him call him by his name when they first meet. Calling people by their first names without their surnames is often the case between people who have a more intimate relationship.
The form that Russell handed Admiral Genevia was none other than the order for the warship that he had just negotiated with Governor Benhardt...... Handwritten copy.
An admiral who commands all the Imperial fleets in a star sector naturally doesn't come to him for no reason. Apart from this arms sales order, what else could get Genevia to come to this ineffective cruise ship?
As the supreme commander of the Krenna fleet, Genevia knew far more than Governor Banhardt about the meaning behind the performance parameters and module components.
"Your Excellency Russell, I ...... Not quite convinced. Genevia sighed.
"Have you ever seen a Valkyrie?" Russell asked.
Genevia nodded, of course she had seen it. The 2nd Expeditionary Fleet of the Terra Expedition had only left Krenna two years earlier.
"I had the privilege of visiting the flagship of the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet, the 'Hanyu Qianjin', and it was really a very ...... Very great battleship. There was yearning and envy in Genevia's voice that could not be concealed. What could be more intoxicating for a fleet commander than a powerful and unique warship?
The Valkyrie-class battleship commanded by Commander Sergius, the elegant and noble "Jade Qianjin", perfectly satisfies all her beautiful fantasies about battleships and completely pokes at all her personal fetishes.
Russell was thinking about something else.
"Dianying heroine, vicious woman, jade daughter...... These names were taken by the Mechanic Repair Society, what the hell do those oil guys want to do to the Valkyries? Or has it already been done? ”
Russell hurriedly dispelled the strange thoughts in his mind, smiled at Genevia, and said, "Since you have ascended to the Valkyrie, then you must also know that the expeditionary fleet was able to build a Valkyrie precisely because of the technical and resource support of the Order of Truth. ”
Genevia put a hand to her chest: "I understand, the Order of Truth is a follower of the Bullet Star, I understand ......"
Speaking of which, she already understands that Russell is fully capable of fulfilling this seemingly impossible arms sales order.
Russell's gaze swept along Genevia's arm to his chest, and he saw one medal after another.
Genevia has a good figure, her height in high-heeled military boots is taller than Russell, who is 1.85 meters, and her long legs account for more than half of her body. The sacred Imperial Golden Eagle and gleaming metal skulls adorn the chest of her admiral's gown, symbolizing the glorious victories and irrefutable feats of war that Genevia has achieved in war.
"It seems that she is not a vase who rises to the top by blood, but a highly decorated doer...... Can't say the same, what if it's a female version of the Medalist? Russell admonished himself in his heart not to judge people with medals.
However, Russell's meaningful gaze on the medal on her chest meant something else to Genevia.
The admiral puffed out her chest proudly, not shying away from Russell's scrutinous gaze.
When Russell finally reacted that the atmosphere was not quite right, and when he quickly raised his head, Genevia was looking at him with a smile.
"Medals are the soul of a warrior, and I usually wear only a few of them as I am proudest, and the rest are kept in the most private safes...... If you're interested, would you like to come to my office and let me open the safe for you and tell you about all the things I've done in the past? ”
Ginevia always maintained a subtle smile when she spoke, her facial features were dignified and generous, her plump lips were slightly turned outward, and all of them showed a sultry style. But between the stiff eyebrows and eyes, it is heroic and compelling, with the arrogance and self-esteem of the superiors, which makes people dare not face it.
Who would refuse such a tempting invitation?
The atmosphere of the Imperial Navy is really open...... Russell calmed down his impulse and said, "I am very willing to listen to the glorious deeds of an Imperial Admiral, but it is very unfortunate that now is not the right time. ”
"Huh?" Ji Nivia frowned in confusion, she didn't expect Russell to refuse, could she be wrong?
"When is the right time?" Genevia still asked.
"I don't know, but at least not now." Russell sighed lightly and pointed with his index finger at the sickly purple-red starry sky ahead, which was the direction of the Eye of Fear: "Chaos doesn't seem willing to give us time to talk at length. ”
Genevia looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see that the already eerie color of the Eye of Fear had somehow become more distorted.
At the lower edge of the Eye of Fear, a small purple-red area slowly bulged outward, spreading forward like a real eye shedding a tear.
"The Eye of Fear is expanding in Krentarina's direction!" Ginevia put away her thoughts and instantly entered the battle mode: "I look forward to being able to talk to you all night in the future, Your Excellency Russell, if there is a future." ”
Genevia leaned down, kissed Russell's earlobe, turned and ran briskly into the cabin.
Russell sighed: "It seems that the open atmosphere of the Imperial Navy is not without reason...... ”
In front of the bridge, tears from the Eye of Fear slowly fell.
Russell's expression was calm, and countless threads of silk lingered, entangled, and broken before his eyes...... Tie it into a dead knot, and then, he smiled faintly.
"Come on, Chaos. Since you don't want to be food for the Boundary Breaker, you have to fight hard. ”
