In the boundless cosmic starry sky, in a corner of the Emperor Star System, there is a gravel belt on one side, and the gravel in it is intertwined. They are of different sizes, the small one is only the size of a fist, and the big one can be as huge as an asteroid, and countless turbulent vortexes are in it, stirring up the broken stones, causing them to collide with each other. A second ago, it was still behind a huge meteorite. It will be crushed by a larger meteorite in a second. The rubble stirred to form countless large and small vortexes, which collided with each other. In some places, there were hidden black holes that were even more frightening, invisible and intangible, like mud hidden under the ground. I can't get up again.
This is the turbulent zone of the universe that is so distasteful to hear, a place that all ships are unwilling to approach. However, at this moment, a fleet is stagnant on the edge of this terrifying cosmic devil star field. This is not voluntary, but forced. Because outside this devil star field, there are countless fleets surrounding the exit. There is only a narrow route to enter the Devil Star Field from the outside. Although the number of fleets outside is huge, they cannot rush into this narrow route at the same time. Head-on attack—Even if the fleet under the command of the marshal has run out of ammunition, food, energy, and exhaustion, it is still a lion with claws and teeth. If you dare to approach, it can tear you to pieces in an instant.
After several fleets were defeated, the commanders outside stopped trying to chase in, but blocked the exit of the narrow channel. He has received orders from his superiors, and now he only needs to ensure that Marshal Troll will not be let go.
In the devil's star field, countless broken stones leaped forward and hit hard on the hard shells of the spaceships suspended in the starry sky. Fortunately, this is still the outskirts of the Devil's Starfield, and the gravels are all small fragments scattered after the giant gravel inside was smashed, and will not cause any damage to the spaceship.
After continuous battles, they were continuously hit by gravel, and many spaceships in the fleet that did not receive any supplies were already scarred, but fortunately, they were just scratches on the shell, and there was not much trouble inside. It looks rather embarrassing.
Ishtar was surrounded by countless spaceships, like a silent giant whale that was slightly injured and dived into the deep sea, quietly suspended in the starry sky. Numerous broken stones came and smashed on its hard shell like a stream of water, making a crisp knocking sound, but in the universe without air-sonic medium, the sound can't be transmitted, and it can't be heard inside, so it's like Yes there is no sound at all.
In the hall, everyone is in a first-level combat state, and everyone is on emergency standby. The sleepless nights caused by the continuous battle for many days caused black and blue marks to appear in everyone's eyes, but no one showed a tired look, and everyone was still full of energy, maintaining a high-intensity state of mind, ready to meet the unknown at any time. The next wave of battles will appear.
A huge soundproof cover covers the entire silver-white podium. The marshal with black hair and blue eyes stands at the front of the podium, tall and straight, with a navy blue cape draped behind him in a soft arc opposite to his straight body. . The corners of the long and narrow phoenix eyes under the black hair tips formed sharp arcs, his pupils seemed to be frozen in the deep sea, cold to the bone.
A row of officers under his command stood upright in front of him. Even in the current situation, their faces showed no fear. They looked at their superiors with bright and resolute eyes. Their eyes showed their strength at the moment. determination. They looked at each other and methodically expressed their judgment on the current situation and the countermeasures that should be taken.
Amidst the conversations among the people, a buzzing vibration suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes were on the place where the sound came out—the black and blue metal information ring on Marshal Troll's hand.
The information ring vibrates, which means that someone is trying to connect to the communication channel with the marshal. However, there are very few people who can obtain the frequency code of the marshal's information ring, and almost all of them are here. The marshal's confidantes in other places should be very clear about the current situation, and will not easily request communication to avoid the signal being intercepted. Therefore, this communication that was received suddenly is a bit strange.
The information ring was humming and vibrating, but the marshal seemed to have not seen or felt it at all, and issued a few orders before disbanding the brief meeting.
All the officers left one after another, and only two remained on the podium with the soundproof cover opened, the green-haired colonel and the red-haired junior soldier who was not qualified to stand here according to his military rank. Very few people know about Robin. From the point of view of everyone, Robin probably committed some stupidity and angered the marshal, so he was finally turned into a junior soldier. But even if he lost his rank, the marshal still valued him , it can be seen from his appearance in this kind of military meeting.
The others all left, Lieutenant Colonel Via was going to leave, but stopped after walking a few steps, looking back at the marshal hesitant to speak. And Robin didn't move at all, just stuck in place, staring straight at his boss.
They didn't leave, and Marshal Troll didn't speak to drive them away, but raised his hand, looked down at the vibrating information ring on his wrist, and then stroked the information ring with his fingers. The blue-black metal ring immediately stopped humming, and stayed quietly on the marshal's wrist.
Troll rejected the incoming communication.
Via watched this scene, without saying anything, turned and left expressionlessly.
While Robin watched from the side, he couldn't help but finally opened his mouth.
"Boss, isn't this bad?" He said, "You should at least report that you are safe so that little guy knows."
"The ring is not broken."
The marshal replied, his tone indifferent.
Robin was choked up by this answer and was speechless.
Indeed, as long as this kind of twin metal ring is not broken, it is a proof that the other party is safe, and there is no need to personally report the safety.
but... but...
The red-haired junior soldier didn't know what he wanted, but he just felt that it was inappropriate for the boss to do so. After getting along for such a long time, he asked himself that he knew that little guy quite well.
Although it looks harmless like a child, and has a soft personality like a little pet, but once he becomes serious, stubborn, or even crazy... the boss in front of him is probably not that little guy's. opponent!
It would be fine if the little guy could sleep for six or seven days according to BOSS' original plan, but now that the message ring rings, it proves that there is something wrong there, Mute woke up early and realized something was wrong.
Robin's sixth sense has always been very accurate. On the battlefield, many times he relied on his beast-like sixth sense to escape crisis after crisis and achieved brilliant results. But this time, the sixth sense gave him a feeling of fright, and he always felt that something very bad would happen.
He wanted to say a few more words to the boss, but when he looked up, he saw that his boss was already sitting on the floating command seat, with his arms resting on the silver-white armrests, and he closed his eyes as if he was recuperating. He had no choice but to shut up, turned and left.
...
In the universe, the trend of confrontation has been established, and Marshal Troll has become the most powerful party among them. However, if the other three parties joined forces, they would be able to overwhelm the marshal in terms of influence, star field, and military strength. It's just that, after all, there are three forces, different families, all have the heart to compete, and they are all staring at the supreme throne. It is impossible to work together. At most, they only consider the possibility of death, and those who are in trouble on the other side Time to pull it up.
For this reason, the long-term war-torn universe returned to a short-term peace. However, this so-called peace is just the calm before the storm, which makes the atmosphere of the entire universe extremely depressed.
Although the three-party family seemed to be monolithic in order to confront Marshal Troll, it was not without gaps and weaknesses. Each force has its own plans, ideas, and ambitions. It seems that they get along with each other in a friendly way, but they are secretly eyeing their allies. Obviously, if any party has internal problems, the other two parties will never be polite, but will rush forward without hesitation to carve up the power of the declining party.
Of course, for Troll, they are absolutely unanimous. There is no lack of staff and wise men under Troll's command, and he once tried to collude with the three forces, intending to persuade any of them to ally with himself and annex the other two forces.
However, at this point, the patriarchs of the three aristocratic forces are all human beings, and no one has been fooled at all. No matter how many baits the marshal threw at them, they never took the bait. Because they all know that no matter how delicious the bait is, it is also wrapped in poison. Therefore, they could bear it and stood still.
I can't bear it, it's just because the bait is not delicious enough.
Troll came to this conclusion after watching with cold eyes for a long time.
There is always a bait that is so delicious that everyone is crazy about it.
…
Troll began to feud with the royal family.
The marshal bowed before the emperor.
The generals under the command of the marshal gradually became domineering when facing the generals of the Royal Fleet, and the two sides clashed many times as a result. And the Marshal will always protect his subordinates and severely punish the generals of the Royal Fleet. Therefore, the dissatisfaction among the generals of the Royal Fleet is growing day by day.
Immediately afterwards, the power of the royal family was weakened, and the rights of noble ministers attached to the royal family also decreased sharply.
After recovering from his illness, the emperor wanted to take back the rights entrusted to the marshal, but was rejected by the marshal with various excuses. The emperor began to express his dissatisfaction with the marshal in various public occasions.
The conflict between the marshal and the royal family began to become serious.
One day, the marshal actually rejected the emperor's order face to face, causing the emperor to be furious and leave the scene on the spot.
The emperor said that he loves his daughter eagerly, so he lifted the punishment for the princess, so the princess began to visit the emperor frequently...
...
…
All of this is something that the other three parties love to hear. They also took it for granted. After all, the emperor was not sober when he was seriously ill and handed over his power to the marshal. Now that he is cured and sober, how could he be willing to be controlled by others
As for the princess, rather than saying that the emperor loves his daughter dearly, others can see clearly that the emperor just wants to support the prince again to fight against the marshal.
Just as they were enjoying watching the emperor and the marshal fighting for power in the Emperor Star, a thunderbolt fell, shocking the entire universe and stunned them all.
When Marshal Troll went to the corner of the Emperor Star System to suppress the rebellion, he was suddenly attacked by the united interstellar pirates. After a bitter battle, although he still won the final victory, he lost troops.
But at this moment, the emperor on Dixing suddenly issued an edict, declaring Marshal Troll as a traitor, disrespectful to the emperor, plotting the throne, and treasonous, demanding that the nobles of the three parties come to Dixing immediately to serve the king.
The profit makes the mind faint.
The patriarchs of the three aristocratic forces are all shrewd, but no matter how shrewd and cunning they are, they cannot turn a blind eye to this edict.
How did the marshal expand and annex the star field so quickly? Relying on the righteous name of the royal family, some star regions even surrendered to Marshal Troll without any bloodshed. It can be seen that although the royal family has declined, its name is still very useful. At least the nobles of the three parties clearly knew that the marshal did not place many troops on the Emperor Star, and they did not dare to send troops to the Emperor Star.
As soon as this edict came out, the marshal's original reputation of royal family and righteousness was ruined. Now the emperor ordered them to go to Dixing to serve the king—this is simply a pie in the sky. The emperor star system is his own.
Facing this kind of heaven-sent opportunity, no one can keep calm—even if someone can keep calm, but seeing that the other two parties can't wait to send troops to Emperor Star, they can only rush there. Otherwise, if the other two parties take over the Emperor Star and he is excluded, he can imagine what the consequences will be with his knees.
On the way to Emperor Star, the three patriarchs met through a virtual projection and reached an agreement.
They decided to get rid of Marshal Troll no matter what. As for the Emperor Star, they agreed that the three parties must enter together, and no one party should enter first. For other matters, after the marshal is removed and His Majesty is 'rescued', they will discuss and negotiate slowly.
After making such a decision, they immediately contacted the princess. On the Emperor Star, they more or less hide their power in it. Compared with Marshal Troll, who has just entered the Emperor Star, their power that has been lurking for decades or even hundreds of years is more deeply rooted. At this moment, they used these forces that had been lurking for a long time, joined forces with the princess who had contacted them, and immediately turned the tables, suppressing the forces of Marshal Troll who originally controlled the Emperor Star.
At the same time, the elite fleets of the three parties quickly dispatched to encircle and suppress Marshal Troll's fleet, which was nearly ten times stronger than Marshal Troll's fleet.
However, what makes these patriarchs lose face is that even though they have taken advantage of the right time, place and people, and have more than ten times the strength of the troops, they failed to defeat Marshal Troll in the end, and only forced him to the point where the devil In the turbulent meteor field called the land.
It is only a matter of time before Marshal Troll is killed.
Thinking so, they drove their respective flagships into the Emperor Star System. However, at this point, they are still very cautious. Knowing the power of the [Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven], they did not enter the Emperor Star rashly, but asked the emperor to hand over the control of the Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven to them.
They know very well that only when they control the [Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven] and control the airspace and star field of the Emperor Star, can they truly control the Emperor Star. The emperor also knew this very well, so he refused to let go at first.
In the virtual projection hall, a huge round table almost occupies the entire hall.
There are three people sitting in the three directions of the round table, representing the three noble families.
The patriarch of the Atropos family, with short silver-white hair combed back neatly, has a square silhouette just like his own, with a rigid look.
The Patriarch of the Lachesis family also has white hair, a thick white beard covering his lips, his eyes are very thin, like snakes, and when he looks at people, he always gives people a chilly look.
Patriarch Cloto's Patriarch is the youngest of the three, and he still has black hair, which is also neatly combed and tied in a bundle behind his head. There are deep laugh lines in the corners of his eyes, and he is a person who loves to laugh, but no one knows what he is thinking when he smiles.
Patriarch Lachesis with a square face spoke first.
"how?"
"It's been verified, it's the real highest control instruction, the program code is correct, and there is no back door."
The man with deep smile lines replied, and Patriarch Lachesis on his right also nodded.
"me too."
They have no scruples, this is just a virtual projection, they are all on their respective flagships, guarded by countless warships.
"However, there is still one instruction missing. Your Majesty has reserved the instruction of 'self-destruct'."
"Hmph...it doesn't matter at all."
Patriarch Lachesis snorted, and he could guess that His Majesty the Emperor must have been worried that they would destroy the [Scepter of Heaven] after giving this order, so he refused to hand it over. After all, this is the biggest guarantee for Emperor Star's safety.
Forget it, they have no intention of destroying it, and it doesn't matter if they want the self-destruct command or not.
[The Scepter of Heaven] consists of thirteen armed satellites, two of which have been destroyed now, and the charged attack of each satellite can reach the power of a star destroyer, enough to destroy a fortress-type cruiser.
On the Emperor Star, with the assistance of the latent forces of the three major families, the emperor is still confronting Marshal Troll’s forces controlling the planet. He doesn’t know how long he can hold on. The emperor hastily urged the three major families to quickly enter the Emperor Star to help him. After defeating the Marshal's forces, the three major families have been reluctant to enter.
They asked the emperor to hand over control of the [Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven]. After all, they are very clear about the power of this strategic weapon. Once they suppress the power of the marshal, the emperor turns around and uses this strategic weapon to attack their fleet. It will be a big loss.
Under the strong pressure of the three major families, the emperor could only reluctantly hand over the highest control order. According to the pre-negotiation of the three major families, the Cloto family obtained the control rights of three armed satellites, and the other two families obtained the control rights of four satellites respectively.
In this way, Dixing is almost under the control of their three major families.
"The key now is, Marshal Troll."
"Hmph, that upstart boy."
As an ancient noble family, the Patriarch of Atropos, who disliked the young marshal the most, snorted disdainfully.
"Hehe, no matter what, we have to deal with him now."
"If he doesn't die, his subordinates will try their best to rescue him, and it will be very troublesome."
"But he is hiding in the Devil's Star Field, and he must be waiting for rescue."
"It was very difficult for us to force him out."
...
After a long time, the black-haired Clotto Patriarch seemed to have made up his mind after being silent for a long time, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Who is the designer of [Scepter of Heaven], do you know?"
"Um?"
"Thousands of years ago, the weapon master Fini designed and built this offensive and defensive strategic weapon for the royal family, which caused a sensation. But after that, the royal family worried that he would leak the secret, so they found an excuse to kill him."
The owner of the Clotho family said, "Before that, he was aware of the royal family's intentions, so he deliberately concealed a secret, and let one of his illegitimate children escape with this secret. Then, our Clotho family took in his illegitimate child."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Get to the point."
Patriarch Cloto chuckled and continued.
[Head of the Scepter] Satellite Nergal is the largest of the thirteen armed satellites and has the strongest shelling capability. However, unknown to everyone, it also has a special ability - it can withstand the power of the bombardment beams of more than a dozen other satellites, gather the energy of all the beams, and increase the energy, and then bombard it after the energy has gathered to the extreme. go out.
This satellite-orbiting concentrated-energy Nergal cannon is extremely terrifying. Not only can its attack range cover the entire Emperor Star System, but its power is almost ten times that of the Star Destroyer Cannon—if the Star Destroyer Cannon can only penetrate a fortress-type cruiser, Well, a Negal cannon can penetrate an asteroid!
"That is to say..."
"That is to say, as long as those satellites are controlled at the same time, then the orbital shaped Nergal cannon can directly destroy [Ishtar]."
The other two Patriarchs glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
"it is good."
"Can."
…
When everyone was still ignorant, only the heads of the three noble families and their confidantes knew that the remaining eleven armed satellites of [Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven] slowly turned, silently Start accumulating energy.
The Negal satellite, the head of the scepter, flickered slowly, and its target slowly locked on the corner of the Emperor Star System—the blue-black flagship floating on the edge of the Devil's Star Field, Ishtar.
…
……………
A quarrel is taking place on the distant Forna planet.
A black-haired boy was standing on the lawn, giving orders to the white ball floating in front of him. There were several people standing behind the boy, some of them seemed at a loss, some frowned, and some had their eyes met.
"Arrange a spaceship for me, I want to go there."
"The order is rejected, and the order of the Marshal takes precedence."
"Da da!"
After Mute roared, the white ball paused for a second, and then a cold mechanical sound sounded.
"Even if there is no order from His Excellency Marshal, your order cannot be fulfilled. According to His Excellency Marshal's instruction, all spaceships with the ability to jump quickly have left Verna Star."
Now the only spaceships that are equipped with normal transition devices are left on Forna Star, and their speed cannot be compared with battleships. If you take that kind of spaceship from here to Emperor Star, it will take five days and nights at the fastest.
After five days, it was all over.
Mutt clenched his fists tightly, his nails pricking his palms with pain. There was rare anger in the boy's eyes at this moment, like a howling wind raging across the earth.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if trying to force himself to calm down.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed much calmer.
"I see."
He said to Da Da, "Look at home."
After the young man finished speaking, blue light flashed all over his body, and his figure disappeared on the lawn in an instant, and appeared high above the sky the next moment, like a meteor flying against the current towards the atmosphere.
Japheth, who had been silent all this time, changed his face instantly. With a change of mind, he immediately conveyed his thoughts to all his companions around him, and then he also disappeared into the air.
As soon as he moved, all Jia's figures disappeared immediately.
In the next second, all the Jias appeared in the sky, and they blocked Mutt's path. Five people formed a circle and surrounded Mutt.
"As Noah's successor, what do you want to do?!"
Canaan's face was already ashen. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a strong oppressive force suppressed Mute.
"The marshal's current situation cannot be reversed by you alone."
Japheth is also using power to suppress Mutt.
"I'm sorry... With your current strength, traveling through the universe for a long time is a very dangerous thing. Once you are exhausted halfway..."
Tina showed a bit of unbearable expression on her face, but she still followed her companion and reached out to suppress Mute.
"For us, it's a pity to lose that marshal, but... no matter what, we can't lose you."
"You are going across the interstellar like this. You will either die halfway, or you will be buried there with the marshal! It doesn't matter if the human died, but you are the successor Noah found with great difficulty, and we can't agree!"
Heber, who stretched out his hands and used strength to suppress Mutt with his companions, spoke very straightforwardly.
Mut was suspended in the air, surrounded by them, and the power of the young gals formed a blue light shield in the air, like a huge bubble, shrouding Mut in it.
They used their power to form a closed space, suppressing Mutt's power, making Mutt unable to escape from this blue bubble space.
Mutt looked around, his black hair fell on his cheeks, his pupils shone like azure gems. A bluish light flickered around his body, like invisible chains restraining his body.
His eyes fell on the youngest girl, he looked at her and smiled at her.
"Sarah."
He smiled and said, "You like the marshal, don't you?"
"..."
The girl bit her lower lip tightly, she nodded, then shook her head quickly.
The young man spoke softly, as if coaxing a child.
"I'll save your favorite marshal, okay?"
Sarah bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes were already steaming.
"… not good."
Her voice, she said, has taken on a bit of choking and a strong nasal tone.
She flew over and hugged Mutt. She hugged Mutt's neck tightly.
"Don't go, Mutt, you can't go, I don't want you to go, I don't want you to be in danger."
She was breathing quickly, hugged Mute tightly, and spoke incoherently.
"I like Marshal, but, that's different... You can't go, you'll be in danger, you might die, Mutt, you're the most important, the most important to Noah, the most important to us .”
She said, "So, you can't go, absolutely not!"
"..."
The boy who was tightly hugged by Sarah didn't break free, nor did he answer. He let out a breath slowly, and gently hugged the girl in his arms with both hands.
"Sarah."
He said softly, his voice still very soft.
"If Noah was there, would you go? If he was in danger, would you desperately protect him?"
"That's different!"
The girl shook her head vigorously.
"It's different, Mutt, Noah is so important to us, the most important thing, so if it's to protect him, we don't care about our own lives! But the marshal is different! He is not the same as Noah— "
"the same."
"..."
The girl raised her head and looked at Mutt, her eyes were a little confused.
Mute still hugged her gently, and looked down at her bewildered eyes.
He looked at her, his eyes were very gentle.
"It's the same, Sarah."
The boy said, smiling at the girl in his arms.
That soft smile seemed to melt into his blue pupils.
"You can die for Noah."
He says,
"Me too, for 'him'."
The last word fell, and the flames in the boy's blue pupils burned fiercely at this moment.
The blue foam shattered into powder in an instant, and the surrounding Canaan and the others were all blown away by the sudden eruption of terrifying force.
Sarah only felt that her hands were empty, and the person who was held tightly by her had disappeared in her hands.
She raised her head, her watery eyes could only see a bright blue light going through the atmosphere—
…
Same, Sarah.
Noah for you.
It's like Major General to me.
