Although Celia said that he would recruit troops from the Milky Way, the implied meaning was quite clear, but the emperor didn't take it too seriously.
He is no longer the new emperor who ascended the throne for the first time fifty years ago, trembling, worried about any changes in the nearby free galaxies and dominions, and vigilant like a lion with an angry mane whenever there is a disturbance. Fifty years of highly vigilant and self-disciplined emperor career has tempered him to a great extent, turning him into a person with a sharp sense of politics, clear thinking, and very sure about everything.
Therefore, when Kareyan was about to give a public speech to the whole universe in the new Kremlin, the emperor did not obstruct or stumble, but only let the military intelligence perform routine surveillance behind the scenes. Even on the day when the speech was held, he did not express any intention to go to the scene to see it. He just discussed military affairs with the generals of the empire in the study as usual.
But after all the daily affairs were dealt with, the emperor glanced at the clock and closed the document in front of him: "The speech in the Honghu Hall should have started, right?"
Isaac glanced at Aaron and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said, "It should be over soon."
The emperor nodded, as if he finally showed interest, and called Bi An and said, "Take over the signal from the studio, let's watch the end too."
This public speech is facing the entire Milky Way galaxy. Each galaxy will have different degrees of signal delay due to the long distance, but because it is transmitted through the communication channel of the Imperial Palace, as long as the signal source is connected, it can be heard instantly. this speech.
The three-dimensional projection was opened in the vast study room, and under the eyes of everyone in the empire, Kaleyan was dressed in a white military uniform. This lieutenant general, who is usually rebellious, lazy and slippery, has a particularly solemn expression at this moment, and his black eyes are firmly gazing at the void in front of him— In countless corners of the vast galaxy, there are trillions of people staying at home, in cars, and in squares...Looking up and listening to his speech: "The country will be fragmented, the social order will be wiped out, and your peaceful life will be destroyed." , the comfortable family will be ravaged under the invasion of the distant star forces... "
"This is an inevitable battle. The Glorious Legion of the Alliance will always welcome new forces to join us. The small strength of each of us will gather together to form a steel wall that resists invasion and protects the country..."
"The moment of the final decisive battle has come, please take up arms and fight against the enemies from galaxies outside the galaxy - this is not only a battle to defend the country, but also to defend yourself! In the face of the common enemy of the entire galaxy, we are an invincible whole! …”
Kaleyan lowered his head and rested his forehead with his hands. A few seconds later, when he took a breath and raised his head again, Celia's figure suddenly walked up to the screen from behind and patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Thank you, Anatole, let me come later Bar."
·
Kaleyan was a little surprised for a moment, but then stepped back submissively and took a few steps back.
Celia stepped forward and stood in the center of the camera.
He was wearing a silver-white official military uniform with military rank, and on the stand-up collar of his shirt was a fingernail-sized eagle book insignia—this was the national emblem of the Union, and only a few active-duty soldiers with extremely high honors were allowed to wear it. A silver tassel ribbon hangs down from his chest to his tall and thin waist, and his slender legs are wrapped in straight trousers. He stands in the middle of the wide lens like a drawn sword, his eyes looking forward quietly.
Heinrich's heart moved, as if an indescribable feeling spread from the depths of his heart.
It's not so much a military uniform as it is a military dress. The empire also has a similar style, but the decoration is more complicated and delicate than the alliance. Every year, the emperor will appear in front of the people with such a gorgeous and solemn image at important moments, and is often praised by the media.
But now, when he saw Celia from the camera, he immediately felt the unique military temperament of this man—firm, cold, harsh, calm... that kind of pure masculine power emanating from his thin body , penetrated from the bones, and was not weakened by the change of gender at all.
At this moment, his three-dimensional stereoscopic image appeared in the eyes of trillions of people in the universe. His deep eyes, tight mouth corners, and even the lines of every strand of hair were clearly visible. When he spoke, the photoelectric signal transmission made his voice It was like resounding in people's ears: "I am Gavin Silia, the leader of the Alliance Legion. If the person listening to this audio is a former soldier of the Legion of Glory, then you must have heard of my name."
There was a commotion in the imperial study, and Heinrich's breathing paused for a moment.
Even after so many years of rebellion, there is still a familiar tremor running through the bone marrow like an electric current at this moment.
"When the alliance collapsed, countless of you chose to lay down your arms and surrender to the empire, and have since become the wandering population on the border of the empire or on the free planet. You may have been disheartened by the alliance government, even if you are penniless and displaced, driving The spaceship is drifting in the vast universe, and it does not want to return to the remaining Legion of Glory in the Andromeda galaxy."
"I understand you. You have fought bloody battles to the last moment, fully fulfilling all the responsibilities of a warrior—yet we still failed."
"We were forced to abandon the Blue Twilight Star, Gemini, and the large and vast galaxies of the Alliance, and retreated to a corner of the universe outside the Milky Way. Since then, we have become a group of people without land and homes; but this kind of wandering life can't last long. Today we will be at war again, and unlike last time, if we lose this time, we will lose lives."
Celia paused, closed her eyes, and opened them again a few seconds later:
"There are hundreds of millions of light years ahead of us, but the people of the Alliance have no room to survive—our property has been looted, our freedom has been taken away, our faith and dignity have been trampled to pieces; we have spent humiliation and pain. Fifty years, until today, our lives are about to be ruthlessly trampled upon!"
"All the soldiers of the former Glory Legion, the people of the Alliance scattered all over the universe, here I ask you to come back and fight side by side with your former comrades!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are wanderers on free planets, stateless people, or citizens of the empire; as long as you were once a soldier of the Legion of Glory, and once embarked on a glorious journey with the alliance, you will always be our comrade in arms!"
"And the blood of the Glorious Legion on your body will never cool down!"
…
— Celia's voice is not high, but the shocking strength hits everyone's heart for a long time.
There was a dead silence in the study room, no one spoke or even moved, the whole scene was like a silent and heavy picture.
However, Heinrich clearly knew that at the moment when his last sentence fell, countless people in the universe threw away what they were doing, and at the same time stood up and cheered excitedly!
Celia also knew that this time he looked at the camera and paused for a long time before slowly asking: "I'm back, where are my soldiers?"
·
Heinrich suddenly stood up and broke the light curtain.
The huge study room was like a silent black-and-white pantomime. After a long and palpitating silence, the emperor's deep voice finally sounded: "He wants to take back the eight million troops that were disbanded by the Guangguang Legion after the defeat of the alliance."
Lieutenant General Isaac wondered: "How is it possible? Fifty years have passed! Many of those people have become citizens of the Empire!"
Several generals in the study showed approving eyes, but more people shook their heads heavily. Admiral Aaron took a breath, and said slowly: "It's possible, if it was Marshal Celia who made the call... especially since the accusation of 'military dictatorship' against him by the Alliance Council has just passed, it's tantamount to an attack on those people. sending out a signal—"
"A signal that Celia is now in power." Heinrich said lightly, "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. This accusation has undoubtedly shaken Celia's status as a spiritual leader, but for the former alliance soldiers, it is A pledge to place life in his hands again."
Isaac stood up in disbelief: "But...but that's what he said? Digging the corner of the empire openly on the territory of the empire?! Calling on the people of the empire to rebel and join the alliance as a soldier?! This is simply—"
This is simply outrageous.
Admiral Aaron silently helped him complete it.
It's no wonder Isaac couldn't believe it. It wouldn't be surprising if Heinrich did this kind of thing, but if it was Celia? While negotiating peace with the empire, while poaching the wall openly in front of everyone in the empire, who would have thought that it was not Heinrich who did such a thing, but Celia? !
Isaac wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Heinrich's movements. The emperor got up and quickly walked through the crowd, went straight out of the study door, and strode downstairs.
"His Majesty-"
"The speech is over," Admiral Aaron said, his face slightly gloomy, "Go to the studio hall."
·
In the Honghu Hall of the Imperial Palace, the photoelectric signals covering almost the entire Milky Way are concentrated in this beautiful studio hall.
Although the emperor seldom visited this palace located on the border of the empire, but in the past few short stays, he used this hall to issue various decrees to the imperial capital Bailuxing—when leasing this auditorium with great political significance Well, it is estimated that Heinrich did not expect Celia to give him such a hand.
It simply exceeded everyone's expectations.
The emperor walked quickly through the gorgeous long corridor outside the studio hall, and saw that the door at the end was open, and the staff were walking back and forth to pack up the instruments. When they saw him, they all stopped and bowed to salute.
However, the emperor didn't have time to respond one by one. He strode across the corner, and saw a few alliance diplomats standing at the door, and then several officers came out from the door. Celia's figure in silver-white military uniform was particularly eye-catching. —
The emperor was about to go forward, when suddenly his pupils constricted slightly like a sword: he was actually supported by Kaleyan!
Celia lowered her head, walking very tiredly, resting her forehead with one hand, her bangs hanging down to cover her expression. Heinrich quickly stepped forward to push the crowd away. When several alliance diplomats turned around and saw him, they were all startled. However, before they had time to say anything, the emperor walked up to the officers: "—this what's going on?"
If you listen carefully, you can find that the emperor's voice is a little tense. Although it is well concealed because of instinct, the ending is still a little strange.
"It's okay, a little hypoglycemia." Kaleyan said casually: "It was too late to prepare for the speech yesterday, and I'm a little dizzy today."
He gestured and rubbed his temples, and helped Celia to walk forward. However, the moment they passed by the emperor, Celia suddenly tilted her head uncontrollably, covered her mouth in pain and spat out!
