Chapter 939: Prince Norton
After a day and a night of sailing, Anne's fleet finally reached the borders of the Bodo Empire. The border outpost of the Bodo Empire naturally spotted Anne's fleet at the first time.
"Warning, this is the border of the Bodo Empire, please leave immediately, otherwise it will be considered an armed provocation. The outpost commander quickly issued a series of orders.
Anne's fleet was soon warned by the outposts on the Imperial border. Because Anne's ship was a warship of the Derean Empire, it was mistaken for the fleet of the Derean Empire by the outpost.
"Contact the outpost and identify us. Anne gave the order to her adjutant.
Soon after, the outpost received a communication request from Anne.
"I am Anne, Commander of the Imperial Royal Tenth Fleet. Anne's avatar appears on the large screen in front of the outpost commander.
The outpost commander naturally recognized Annie, and he gave her a standard military salute and said, "It turns out to be Major General Annie, and I am Major Jenny, the outpost commander." ”
Anne replied, "Major Jenny, this commander has applied to enter the spaceport of Nar. "Spaceport Nar is a huge spaceport near a frontier outpost where the Imperial Border Patrol is stationed. The fleet can anchor and recuperate in this spaceport.
Major Jenny sternly asked, "General Anne, may I ask why you are on the warship of the Deland Empire?" As a junior officer, he should not ask such a question to the commander, however, he is the commander of the outpost, and he has the right to interrogate any suspicious person, even the commander must be questioned.
Anne frowned slightly, and said, "This is a long story. Major Jenny, will you allow my warship to enter Spaceport Nar?"
Major Jenny hesitated, "General Annie, I can't make the decision on this matter, and I need to report it to my superiors. ”
Anne waved her hand and said, "No problem, you can report." Anne had expected this outcome. She was on a battleship of the Deland Empire, and there was no interstellar mothership, how could she not make people suspicious?
Jenny even wondered if she had defected.
Soon, news of Anne's return reached the Imperial Army.
"What, Rear Admiral Anne, commander of the Tenth Fleet, is back?"
"She only came back with less than four hundred warships?"
"The strange thing is that her warships are all warships of the Deland Empire, and there is not a single Imperial warship, not even the starship Annie. "The starship of Annie's Tenth Fleet was named the USS Annie.
"Could it be that Anne was captured by the Deresan Empire?"
After receiving the news from the border, Prince Norton, the Supreme Commander of the Military Department, personally gave an order: "This commander wants to talk to General Anne. "Prince Norton is the uncle of Bodo XIII, and he has been the supreme commander of the military department since the resignation of Marshal Lucas.
As a royal prince, his position is naturally unshaken.
"General Anne, Marshal Norton wants to speak to you personally. Major Jenny conveyed Prince Norton's order to Anne.
"Yes. When Anne heard that Prince Norton was going to talk to her, Anne was very excited.
When Anne ordered her lieutenant to turn on the ship's communications, Prince Norton's avatar appeared on the large screen in front of Anne.
"Anne, are you back?" asked Prince Norton kindly.
"Yes, Marshal, Anne is back, now near the border outpost. Anne replied excitedly. Prince Norton has always taken good care of her, because Prince Norton has always respected his eldest brother, Marshal Lucas, and also treats Anne as his own granddaughter.
"Annie, what the hell is going on? How did you fly on the ships of the Derean Empire, what about your Tenth Fleet, what about your Anne? Are you—" Prince Norton asked all the questions in his mind in one breath.
Facing Prince Norton's inquiry, a look of pain flashed on Anne's face: "Marshal, this matter is a long story, please listen to Anne one by one." ”
"Okay, you say. At this time, Prince Norton's expression was quite stern. Judging from Anne's tone, he had already judged that things were not simple.
Anne took a deep breath and said, "Marshal, Anne was ordered by the military department to lead the Tenth Fleet to the Denardor Star Domain to eliminate and exterminate the interstellar pirate poison wolf fleet. ”
"What, the Tenth Fleet is gone?" said Prince Norton, who heard Anne's words, was struck by lightning. The annihilation of a fleet is a great blow to the military strength of the empire! The empire has a total of ten fleets, and now one out of ten is like a finger being cut off. "And you now?" Could it be that Anne was really captured by the Deran Empire?
Anne shook her head and said, "No, don't worry, I was not captured by the Deran Empire. The strength of the First Fleet of the Deland Empire was already much stronger than my Tenth Fleet, and under the ambush, our Tenth Fleet was completely wiped out, and the Anne was also destroyed. I wanted to die in the line of duty, but I was rescued by my lieutenant and the guards, and escaped in a lifeboat. However, in fact, even if there were life-saving battleships, we would not be able to escape death, but suddenly someone drove by with a battleship, saved us, and defeated Grant's First Fleet, these battleships are the trophies of our savior's defeat of the First Fleet, and he was afraid that I would be punished for returning to the Empire, so he gave these battleships to me. ”
"This?" said Prince Norton's mouth wide.
He knows the strength of the First Fleet of the Deland Empire, and the commander Vice Admiral Grant is also famous, known as a new generation of military gods, Anne's Tenth Fleet was ambushed by the First Fleet, and the annihilation of the whole army is inevitable.
It's just that the fleet that suddenly appeared and defeated the first fleet of the Deran Empire and saved Annie and the others should be even more powerful.
This fleet should be able to defeat the First Fleet of the Delan Empire just by passing by, it seems that the strength is not trivial, and perhaps the number of warships is also large.
It's just that Prince Norton didn't hear clearly, and Anne didn't say it was a fleet.
Although Norton had always trusted Annie, he was now skeptical of Annie's words. If there really is a fleet passing by, it must be sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, even if Annie is saved, how can he give so much loot to Annie? This is nearly 400 warships, and a small fleet can be formed.
"Anne, what you say is true?" asked Prince Norton, rather excitedly.
Anne replied with a stern face: "Marshal, what Anne said is absolutely true, if there is deception, the sky will thunder!"
Prince Norton's brain is somewhat short-circuited. Who can tell me what the hell is going on?
Anne's explanation was reasonable, but it was incredulous to Prince Norton.
