Fabras Fortress is located in a tube-shaped group of planets on the border of the Gemini constellation of the Empire. From the point of view of shape, it looks like the sharpest middle part of a timekeeping hourglass. However, this fortress is the largest air fortress in the Gemini galaxy. Its size is almost the same as an asteroid. It has more than half of the space firepower of the first galaxy. It can accommodate thousands of soldiers and horses for the Capital Defense Force. It is a veritable universe. Big Mac.
After a fierce battle, the Capital Defense Army, which was still as clean as new, and the Alliance Army, which was victorious but still looked dusty, these two fleets, like a school of shining fish, slowly sailed into the Fab Lars Fortress opened the gate like a deep sea beast's mouth. After passing through the long hollow gravity corridor, warships roared and landed at the bottom of the hangar, and the flagship drove along the passage to the end before slowly docking in front of the tungsten alloy gate.
Kaleyan walked down the bridge, and when he looked back, he saw row after row of lights in the passage went out one by one, as if the entire track had sunk into an ancient abyss. The densely packed huge battleships are like the fangs of monsters in the abyss, casting countless frightening shadows in the darkness.
"Are you shocked by the military strength of the empire, Marshal Kaleyan?" Admiral Aaron also walked off the bridge not far away, laughing loudly through the crowd.
"This kind of military strength can only catch up with the dark star hall. I am really shocked by this." Kaleyan said casually, and walked forward.
The tungsten alloy door, which is high enough to pass through an aircraft carrier, slowly opened with a heavy roar, and countless robot hummingbirds rushed out of the door, and when they passed by everyone, they silently released detection waves until it was confirmed that there was no Only after the prohibited items dispersed like the wind.
People from the Empire and the Alliance walked through the gate side by side at the same time, and were immediately brought to the ground by the elevator. They saw a figure in a white military uniform with his back facing them, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass on the entire side of the hall, quietly watching the distant sky. Ethereal clusters of stars.
Against the background of the dark blue starry sky, his figure is particularly tall and straight. Aaron paused and said unexpectedly: "Marshal Celia?"
Celia turned her head back, smiled and raised her hand to them.
Kaleyan also waved his hand and walked over lazily looking at the scenery in the hall: "Why did you call me here? Didn't you say that you are on standby outside the Gemini? Just now, I met the Imperial Army who was being attacked by a team from the Dark Star Hall." The forwards were beating up violently, you don't know how dangerous it is, Marshal, Admiral Aaron almost died..."
Aaron was struck by lightning the first time he saw Celia: the stomach is flat! The figure is in shape!
Where is the little prince! Where is the little prince of the empire! !
"...It's so dangerous. Fortunately, we arrived in time and rescued the wailing boy No. 2." Kaleyan turned his head, and a friendly smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Really, boy No. 2?"
Aaron was in a trance and was in a daze. Hundreds of tragic guesses flashed through his mind in an instant, from "Do you know that the little prince is gone?" to "The empire and the alliance have turned against each other and killed the little prince. The revenge is sworn", all the fears in the middle , cannot be described in detail. He didn't hear a word of Kaleyan's words at all. He only saw the inquiring eyes of everyone present, so he subconsciously nodded perfunctorily: "Yes... yes, yes..."
Everyone in the empire: "..."
Union: "…"
"Next time, don't give people random nicknames," Celia turned her head and said seriously to Kaleyan, who spread his hands as if he had been wronged: "I didn't! He admitted it himself!"
—Actually, Aaron is full of shock now, not to mention being called out twice, even if Kaleyan put the label of No. 2 boy on his face, he might not be able to react: The little prince is gone? Although it is really uncomfortable for the marshal to give birth to that little boy, but the little prince of the empire is gone? !
What should His Majesty do? What about the Empire? ! What about political reform? ? ! !
Aaron only wanted to rush over to hold his former boss's thigh and cry on the Great Wall, but before his two sad tears fell, a steady and powerful voice suddenly sounded not far away: "What are you talking about? Kaleyan , Is this your proper posture as the Union Marshal?"
Celia couldn't stop her, so Kaleyan said naturally: "As a winner, I can do whatever I want, please bear with me, boy number two... number one!"
There was silence at the scene, Aaron turned his head abruptly, and cried out as if asking for help: "—Your Majesty!"
The Gemini Emperor Heinrich, who was wearing a dark blue military uniform, a gold ribbon on his chest, and brown thick-soled cowhide boots, strode from outside the door. His golden brown hair shone under the bright lights of the hall, and his ice blue His eyes are deep and cold, and his face is as handsome and straight as a marble statue.
The well-tailored and luxuriously textured military uniform sets off his lean figure, which looks like a perfect and vigorous inverted triangle from shoulder to waist, full of the iron-blooded charm of a male Alpha—this is like a male peacock with its tail open, and the whole body The upper and lower sides are full of low-key and sultry courtship atmosphere, just take a photo and you can directly use it as the cover of the number one fashion magazine in the empire.
Aaron watched him walk over, and instantly imagined the emperor's one hundred and eight violent reactions when he found out that his biological son was gone. However, before he had time to say anything, the emperor stretched out his hand to Celia very naturally: "Welcome the Alliance Fleet to the first fortress of the Gemini galaxy, Fortress Fabras, the overlord of the sky..."
—What kind of reaction is this, Emperor! You really don't see anything wrong!
Admiral Aaron was in such a mess in the wind that even Celia couldn't help giving him a strange look, then turned to Heinrich, and shook hands casually: "Thank you for your kindness, but I came yesterday... yes Do I need to say it again?"
emperor:"… "
·
The two parties of the empire and the alliance were led by Heinrich and Celia respectively, and walked side by side to the meeting hall. Taking advantage of Celia talking to Kaleyan on the side of the alliance, Aaron took a few steps to catch up with the emperor, and nudged him with his elbow: "Hey, are you really okay?"
"... You have been very abnormal since just now, you are fine, right?"
"What can I do, that's your son! Where's your son?!"
Heinrich glanced at him inexplicably: "It's in a petri dish."
Aaron was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to understand. The corners of his mouth twitched and he asked: "... Isn't this illegal in the Alliance? The last proposal of the Imperial Senate against mechanical breeding was approved by you yourself..."
"So many illegal things have been done, and this one is missing." Heinrich sneered, and then whispered happily: "I have seen it when I went to the league last time, such a small one Dian Dian, she looks very similar to me when I was a child, what name do you think should be chosen... "
Aaron didn't have any inspiration for his name, he was completely shocked by the emperor's shamelessness. A fetus that is only a few months old can see that it "looks very similar to me". Did you use X-ray vision to see it? The face is made of the corner of the city wall, right? Thicker than a space fortress!
"Ah, I forgot, you are not good at things like naming things." The emperor suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled happily: "Your chance of naming your child in this life is probably very slim, I really sympathize with you Hahaha… "

Compared with the empire, the focus of everyone in the alliance is more serious. Two groups of people walked into the round tower-shaped conference hall of Fabras Fortress together, and saw the four-dimensional projection of the Milky Way slowly hovering on the huge conference table, and the large spiral arm composed of hundreds of billions of stars was as majestic as an epic. Reflect the bright and changing light on everyone's face.
Kaleyan habitually stood at the second place in the alliance seat, and was watched by Celia for a few seconds before hurriedly walking to the first seat, grabbing his hair and hastily changing the subject: "—Speaking of which, I shouldn't be performing a security mission on the outskirts of the Gemini galaxy Why? Why did you call me here?"
The Empire and the Alliance stood on both sides of the projection of the Milky Way, and no one made a sound for a while, only two rows of black and white military uniforms confronted each other, and the scene was solemn and silent. Silia stood sideways at the end of the long table, and upon hearing that she pointed a spot in the galaxy with the infrared light stick in her hand, she said indifferently: "Because after calculation, I think this tube-shaped star field is the place where the Dark Star Hall came from." The five-dimensional space returns to the real universe, and it is the threshold for a breakthrough to the interior of the Gemini galaxy."
As soon as this remark came out, the faces of everyone at the long table changed, and even Aaron forgot to tell the villain Heinrich in his heart: "Do you have any basis for saying that, Marshal?"
Celia frowned and stared at him, but Aaron was not Kaleyan, he only knew to look back calmly with innocent and righteous eyes.
"..." Celia said helplessly: "Heinrich and I compared the characteristics of the Dark Star Hall's actions when it reduced the dimension from the five-dimensional space several times, and the magnetic field fluctuations of nearby galaxies, and drew a few best lines for the Dark Star Fleet. The best channel, the tube-shaped star field is the most important one. In addition, we have set up a strong interference composed of millions of nuclear fusion fighters on other channels, so now we are in the place where Yunes The most likely route of march."
"As the center of the tube-shaped star field, Fabras Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack from a tactical perspective. It has a unique space advantage that one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it, so we chose this place as the location for the army." Heinrich stepped forward, and naturally took the infrared baton from Celia, and saw the bright red light point go straight to a small bend like the center of an hourglass in the vast galaxy, "—this is where we are. Location."
In the real universe, the "Space Giant" Fabras Fortress, in the slowly rotating spiral arm of the Milky Way, has turned into a point of light smaller than sand and gravel. But the hundreds of billions of majestic troops stationed around the fortress, as well as the emperor and marshal who are respected in the fortress and stand above tens of thousands of people, are like ants in the mortal world, and they can't even see their shadows.
"With Fabras Fortress as the center, and then radiate hundreds of light years into the depths of the universe, a total of 80 trillion transition energy detectors have been deployed in this distance. Once the traces of the dark star fleet's dimensionality reduction are detected, the Warn us."
Heinrich stretched out his hand and pointed the infrared light behind him, and thousands of dense photoelectric signals suddenly jumped out on the big screen, penetrating and filling all the space in the hall layer by layer.
"The Dark Star Hall has never come here to occupy the empire's territory. Their goal is the Egret Star. For this reason, we will set up heavy guards around all the transition gates leading to the Egret Star, and at the same time the main army will be stationed in the Fabras Fortress. , once the Dark Star Fleet attacks the city, it will be the time for our final battle."
There was silence in the hall, and all the generals frowned, carefully watching the unpredictable tactical star map.
"During this period, the Empire and the Alliance will take turns patrolling around the star field, and the rest will be stationed inside the fortress. I will announce the time and number of the troops on duty." Celia looked around and said in a very gentle voice: "—Do you have any questions?" ?”
—Of course not, and I didn’t say it in front of Marshal Celia. Who doesn’t know that this master can’t be offended now... All the generals of the empire and the alliance shook their heads in unison, and their movements were uniform, as if they had been trained in advance.
Celia was very satisfied, and announced the wartime patrol number and schedule in front of everyone.
Although this several-page table was jointly negotiated by His Majesty Heinrich and Marshal Celia, due to well-known reasons, the hard work that the Imperial Army and the Alliance Army need to do is obviously not balanced—but also because of well-known reasons, After reading the watch, when the emperor said with a straight face, "If you have any doubts, you can ask them now", all the people in the empire stood at attention and saluted, and shouted: "No doubts!"
Compared with the scenes of spittle and swords flying freely in the previous tactical meeting, this scene is so touching that it makes people cry...
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, put down the roster, and said, "The meeting is adjourned."
·
The alliance was led by Kaleyan, and the empire was led by Admiral Aaron. They filed out from the gate side by side, and quickly walked away. Finally, there were only two emperors and commanders left in the wide and towering hall. When Heinrich turned his head, he saw Celia standing at the end of the long table, staring deeply at the Milky Way, which glowed with brilliant light in mid-air.
"What are you thinking?" Heinrich walked over and gently pressed his hand on the table.
Celia didn't respond, just quietly looking at the magnificent sea of stars.
"I'm thinking... the space fortress is a miracle, but it's insignificant in the spiral arm of the galaxy; the Milky Way is so majestic and magnificent, but it's just a small and tiny speck of dust in the entire universe... The great battle that you and I have exhausted our efforts to prepare today seems to be related to the prosperity and survival of life in the Hanoi galaxy, but for the vast universe that has been born for hundreds of millions of years, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, it is nothing more than what happened in a certain corner It’s just an episode. Even the rise and fall of the human race is completely irrelevant.”
Heinrich glanced at Celia in surprise, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Celia asked back, "Don't you?"
The emperor pondered, his eyes fell on the projection of the sea of stars in mid-air. The Milky Way seems to have turned into an oval halo, reflected in the depths of the ice-blue pupils, his resolute face is more vivid and profound under the radiance, he shook his head after a while and said, "I don't think so... the universe It is indeed vast and grand, and human beings are just a drop in its ocean; but for human beings, war and peace on a racial scale, as small as the life and death, love and hatred of a single individual, are all things to explore and pursue throughout their lives. Its meaning is not much less than this magnificent universe... "
"... Human beings live in this vast space like mayflies, but the life we have, like the rise and fall of the entire universe, is nothing more than a process from birth to death. From this perspective, today's human beings in order to survive And what is the difference between the efforts made and the continuation of the entire universe?"
Heinrich turned his head to look at Celia, who also looked back at him slightly in a daze. The eyes of the two people looked at each other in this splendid hall, and it was not until a long time later that Celia let out a slight sigh: "So our thoughts are different."
"Yes," the emperor smiled, and said leisurely: "When you look up at the starry sky, what you see is your own ignorance and insignificance; but I live in the present, and my goals and future are in front of me..."
