Billions of stars shine with billions of rays of light. The vast, deep space was shrouded in deep darkness, and the light seemed so weak.

The endless night, the boundless nothingness, the unimaginable cold...... All of this does not abandon humanity, it just ignores the existence of humanity. Although the universe is large, in the eyes of human beings, it has become the end of the world, because the universe has long been familiar to human beings and has been included in the scope of free travel.

Mankind divides the universe into fragments, habitable and uninhabitable, navigable and unnavigable, and the most hopeless, professional soldiers, divide all the space and constellations into areas dominated by enemy forces and us, areas that should be kept for themselves and areas worth defending, or areas that are easy to conquer and areas that are not easy to conquer.

These spaces and constellations were originally nameless, and in order to distinguish them, small humans called them in their own language.

This space is called the Iserlohn Corridor, a slender and hidden tunnel that runs through the dangerous places of the galaxy universe.

An Imperial standard warship is sailing through this corridor, the target of which is the fortress of Iserlohn. Soon, it was spotted by a patrol warship of the Confederate Iserlon fleet, which ordered the ship to stop, and the Imperial warship stopped and sent a message: "This ship has been ordered to deliver important documents, please inform your sir." ”

At first glance, many people would not consider Yang Willy to be the most important figure in the Allied Army. Even when he was wearing a military uniform, he still didn't have the slightest military posture.

He is not an old-fashioned gentleman with one-dimensional manners and foresight, nor is he a man with strong muscles and a burly physique, nor is he a calm and handsome scholar or a boy with a white face and clean skin.

The age is just the year of the beginning, but the appearance is about two or three years younger. With black hair, black eyes, and a medium physique, although he is not not handsome, he is not the kind of handsome man who is rare.

His greatest feature is not the outside of the skull, but the brains in it. The sonorous sound of the bell rang softly.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm Greenhill!"

A beautiful female officer with blond brown hair and light brown eyes, who spoke from the television and telephone screens, had served as Yang's adjutant since last year.

"What are I busy with right now?"

Yang's tone was indifferent.

"The warships of the Imperial Army have sent a messenger, and there is an important document for the commander to see!"

"That's it?"

Yang was not surprised, still calm, and after a pause, he put down his chess piece and stood up, and then walked outside. Two hours later, Yang ordered all the cadres to assemble in the conference room.

When the Imperial Army dominated the fortress, it was the place where the commander of the fortress and the commander of the garrison fleet consulted, and at that time, meetings often ended in-for-tat and bitter arguments, so the atmosphere of conflict became a tradition in this meeting room.

Superintendent of Fortress Affairs - Major General Alex Kajielun.

The commander of the defense of the fortress - Brigadier General Walter Schenkob.

Deputy Commander of the Fleet - Rear Admiral Fisher.

Chief of Staff - Major General Mlay.

Deputy Chief of Staff - Major General Patrichev.

Senior Adjutant – Captain Philettliga Greenhill.

In addition, there was the captain of the battleship Ulysses, Lieutenant Commander Nelson, and the deputy captain, Major Yada.

Yang formally glanced at the assembled officers before speaking. A solemn and serious tone is not his usual style, and his tone is still as if he is toasting tea with friends, gossiping and gossiping.

"You probably all know the way, the Imperial Army sent the Brocken Warship as an envoy with quite interesting news - they want the Empire and the Alliance to exchange more than three million prisoners!"

As the conversation in the conference room continued, Yang reported the situation to Henison and offered that he would personally return to the military headquarters to explain the situation.

In the Chihoisa system, the Fafnier fleet and the other two fleets he took from Odin with a total of 40,000 warships are using gravity to stay in the orbit of the planet, and he himself and the chief of staff, Admiral Gustav von Schutkhajan, are also sitting in the conference room, on one side are Vice Admiral Jung, commander of the battleship fleet, Vice Admiral Karl, commander of the Marine Corps, Rear Admiral Dalke, commander of the assault group, and others. The message of the exchange of prisoners of war proposed by the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet.

"The Marquis is playing tricks again, Lord Fafnier. You see, the Marquis of Royancram is about to break with those two big bosses, right?" said Admiral Gustav, Viscount of Shütkhaughan.

"I think it's about the same. Lieutenant General Karl Viscount Dick interjected first, "Do you want to open a market to bet on when they will officially start?"

"It's been a few months, and neither side is about to take it anymore. But now if the empire is in a civil war, the alliance side is an important consideration, and there must be chaos over there......! What are we in a hurry? Let the Golden Retriever go and play, whether it fails or succeeds, the Empire's Civil War is inevitable. We're going to have to do something about it, too. Fafnir said with a lazy look.

"Battleship factories in several nearby systems have been occupied. However, the scale is completely incomparable to the northern part of the empire and the capital. If it were to be expanded, it would take at least a year, and it would be difficult for us to solve the shortage of technicians and production workers. Brigadier General Midamaia of the logistics department began to report, "Our smuggling channels have also been reduced a lot due to the situation on the Allies' side, but at the same time our loans in Fraser are increasing. Now, more than half of our monthly smuggling proceeds are paid interest on loans. ”

"It's okay, it'll be solved soon. In short, let's go ahead and reorganize your troops. Kill the incompetent waste, and within three months, I will see three elite fleets!"

The Imperial fleet in the Chihoisa system began exercises and training activities immediately after the meeting, and many officers died for one reason or another...... But the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet has increased considerably, and the morale is quite high - there are no more galactic pirates and criminal syndicates...... Many people have disappeared and died in the surrounding galaxies.

"I'm going to Odin for a trip, and it seems like I'm going to attend the exchange ceremony in some capacity. After all, that fool is my cousin. "Admiral Schutkehaujan resigned to Field Marshal Fafnier.

The exchange of captives was not carried out between the "two governments", because the two governments asserted to each other that they were the only legitimate regimes in human society, did not recognize each other's existence, and had no intention of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries.

If this situation were to be a matter of personal standpoint, one would have to laugh at their stubbornness and ignorance. However, from the standpoint of the state, people will tolerate the existence of such evil virtues in the name of authority and dignity.

On February 19 of that year, the prisoner exchange ceremony was held at the fortress of Isellon. Both sides sent representatives of the military departments to attend, and after exchanging names with each other, they signed the certificates.

"The Galactic Imperial Army and the Free Planets Alliance, based on a humane and military-legal stance, have decided to release each other's detained officers and soldiers, and to ensure that they will be carried out in the name of honor.

On February 19, 488 of the Imperial Calendar, the representative of the Galactic Imperial Army, General Siegfried Gilfias"

After signing the autograph, Gilfias smiled brightly and said to Yang, "The formal ritual may be necessary, but it also makes people feel that it is a stupid thing!" ”

"I feel the same way!"

Young observes Gilfias. Yang was young, but Gilfias was even younger, only twenty-one. With red hair dyed like a ruby solution, pleasant blue eyes, and a superior figure, this handsome and beautiful young man is one of the few powerful generals of the Galactic Empire, and even the women of Iserlohn admire him. In the Battle of Yamliza, Yang had fought him directly, and it was known that he was Reinhardt's confidant, but Yang could hardly dislike the young man.

Gilfias seemed to feel the same way about Yang, and the two shook hands even more forcefully when they said goodbye.

A man in the general's uniform in the back scoffed at this, and turned to look at the highest-ranking captive in the prisoner exchange, Admiral Shotekhajan, the commander of the fortress.

The two Admirals Schutkhao Jane looked at each other, and the older one who had been stripped of his rank bowed his head......

The undercurrent of the alliance is surging.

There were some interesting signs of replenishment and reorganization of the fleet, the Second and Sixth fleets were reorganized one after another, and Rear Admiral Karlsian and Rear Admiral Nguyen Van Thieu were raised to the level of commander of the fleet, and the two fleets were also organized into "small fleets" with a size of 7,000 ships. However, the regrouping of the damaged fleet was carried out very slowly...... The Fifth, Tenth, and Twelfth Fleets were delayed in resuming their formation, and the Thirteenth Fleet was sent to the fortress of Iselon early in the morning. Ulanv and Porodin were also temporarily idle, after all, their fleets were still some time away from regaining combat strength. Many young and unfamiliar faces were successively placed in new or vacant positions, while many old and stable officers took responsibility for the defeat and were asked to retire or put into idle posts.

And in the Empire.

Emperor Friedrich IV lived a very debauched life, and since his death, the ruling class of the Galactic Empire has been intermittently making waves.

The first was the enthronement of the five-year-old Erwei Yushev as the new emperor. Although he was a direct grandson of Friedrich IV, he immediately attracted the wrath and jealousy of the two nobles after his accession to the throne.

The two nobles were the Duke of Otter Bronch and the Marquis of Wilham Rydenhelm. They were married to the two daughters of the late Fred Richy IV and each had a daughter. They tried to make their daughter empress so that they could become regent and thus dominate the empire.

When their ambitions are shattered, they join forces to deal with a common enemy and vow revenge. Their enemies were the young Emperor, Elway Yushev II, and his two powerful ministers who supported him behind the scenes, the seventy-six-year-old Imperial Chancellor, Duke Klaus Lijandro, and the twenty-year-old Marquis Reinhardt von Royenkram.

As a result, the ruling class of the Galactic Empire was divided into two factions. One was the royalists, with Richard and Reinhardt as the core, and the other was the anti-royalists, led by Blanche and Rydenheim.

Many dignitaries who were worried about the future of the empire and their own safety wanted to remain neutral, but the increasingly dangerous situation prevented them from staying away.

Which side should you rely on to survive? Which side is the right one? Or which side has the better chance of winning?...... All of this is a real test of their judgment and insight.

Reinhardt repeatedly provoked the nerves of the nobles, leaving the gang in a blind rage with no chance of victory. Their hysterical behavior was right in the way for Reinhardt. He uses these strategies like a teenager chasing a beautiful butterfly, with all his enthusiasm and dedication. There were also quite a few nobles whose brains were less watered, and they decisively threw themselves on Reinhardt's side, and the best of them was Count Malindorf.

What's even more interesting is that some of the more low-key and low-status nobles went straight out of Odin to the side of Rudolf, Count of Favinir in the Chihoisa system.

"Our little blonde friend is still old and impatient. He could have spent a few years devouring the nobles - but if he wanted to establish his own dynasty, such an impatient move could sweep away the old nobles in one fell swoop and make room for his new ones. Fafnier chirped. "Gustav! It's really boring! After being promoted to the earl and the marshal of the empire, he didn't even have the opportunity to go to the brothel!! he was really empty!! and the great joy of life was gone. I'm out of energy!"

"Sympathetic!" replied another maliciously.

"Are the nobles united?"

"I just wanted to report to you that the covenant of 'Lipsiutat' has been concluded. Both the Duke and the Marquis threw an olive branch to His Excellency the Count of Favinier, who is you. They ask you to join ......"

"These fools, what kind of alliance are they engaged in, and they are playing an alliance in a capital where others have military superiority, and they will be served by someone when the time comes!" said to his subordinates, even though he knew that the great nobles would definitely succeed in escaping.

The nobles who opposed the camp of the Marquis of Royancram and the Duke of Ryonrade went to the Lipsiudat Forest, where the villa of the Duke of Odin Braunsch was located, in the name of an auction of ancient paintings and a garden fair, and in the underground hall, patriotic signatures against the dictatorship of the Marquis of Royancram and the Duke of Ryonrade were secretly underway.

This movement was commonly known as the "Lipsiudath Covenant", and the aristocratic military organization established under the Covenant was called the "Lipsiudath Noble Coalition". There were 3,740 nobles and 25,600,000 regular and private soldiers.

The leader of the alliance was the Duke of Otter Bronsch Becques, and the vice-leader of the alliance was the Marquis of Wilham Liddenheim.

The signatures of nearly 4,000 nobles, with their names, were fiercely criticized by Lidianrad and Royankram. In addition, it also threatened to protect the sacred mission of the Gordonbam dynasty, which had been entrusted to the traditional aristocratic class of the "Chosen People". The great god Odin guards us! The victory of justice belongs to us!" This is the end of the full text of the covenant.

The nobles gathered in the "Lipsiudath Covenant" had a top priority to organize many complex military systems, and in order to confront the war genius - Reinhardt, a unified headquarters, a unified strategic concept, and a consistent management and supply system were indispensable.

As far as the order is concerned, it is necessary to first decide on the commander-in-chief of the actual combat unit, and then he must decide on the establishment and deployment of the unit.

At first, the Duke of Branche intended to be the commander-in-chief of the actual battle, but the Marquis of Lidhelm advocated that the commander-in-chief should be an expert in the use of troops. I propose that Admiral Merkaz, who has distinguished himself and prestige, be appointed commander-in-chief. Isn't it too appropriate for you to go to the front line in person, Alliance Leader?" They excluded Field Marshal Fafnier, who had not yet signed the Covenant, at the outset, and also out of a hiccup to the guy.

The intention of the Lieutenant Helm was obvious, that it was nothing more than to prevent the Duke of Branche from establishing a merit that was beyond his own, but formally his claim was correct, and therefore Branche had to adopt his opinion. Admiral Merkaz said...... "The other nobles were unanimously in favor of it, so Duke Branche had to suppress his thoughts for a while, and prove that he was a man of great measure." He courteously invited Merkaz to his mansion and pleaded with him to be the actual commander-in-chief of the aristocratic coalition.

"Field Marshal Rudolf von Fafnier, please come and be Commander-in-Chief. These are the exact words of 1st Admiral Merkaz.

"That Rudolph.' Draken'.von Fafnir?!, but a fluke hooligan. He's not one of our noble blue-bloods!, but he's just a little better than the blonde-haired Kojin. Or is it Your Excellency Merkaz who is here. Admiral, look at the young nobles, are you confident that you can convince them? They have sworn to put to death those who refuse to cooperate to sacrifice to the god Odin, and the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and I know that they can do what they say. I'm afraid that even I, the leader of the alliance, won't be able to stop them, don't say that I haven't warned you, it's not good for you to stick to it, they like to use maidens to worship the gods, I heard that there is a very young girl in your family......"

Merkaz finally gave in.

Reinhardt launched a pre-scheduled manhunt and captured many of the imbeciles, but the two biggest imbeciles "successfully" escaped Odin.

The Duke and Marquis, along with other nobles, gathered in the fortress of the "City of Condors", and it was at this time that a notice arrived.

"Rudolph, Count of Fafnier, has joined the Covenant too?well! Now we have 40,000 more troops!" No matter how much he hated Fafnier in private, he still had to applaud this guy on the surface
