Chapter 120

In this long night, everything that happened on Venus in Andromeda and Egret in Gemini was like a large web made of countless spider silks, and the sharp fangs of this giant spider were aimed at the hundreds of billions of light years between the two planets. In the distance, the Fabras Fortress hovered alone in the vast space.

Early in the morning, six thirty.

A tired researcher swiped his card and slid open the tungsten gate of the headquarters. He raised his eyes and saw a slender figure walking towards the door. He couldn't help being stunned: "Marshal Celia?"

Celia was wearing a white military uniform shirt, the cuffs were casually rolled up to the elbows, and she was holding a paper cup of tea in her hand. The phoenix turned into a monolithic detector and wore it on his right eye, and he nodded with a tired face.

"Have you come here so early? Your Majesty and Admiral Aaron are inside, I will take you..."

"Go and rest," Celia said, "It's been hard work."

He passed by the researcher and walked into the bright and spacious command hall.

This is the brain of Fabras Fortress. There are slight static electricity in the air, and there are rows of towering optical brain screens as far as the eye can see, showing real-time cosmic images from all angles of the surrounding star field; Researchers in white robes hurried back and forth between the light screens, loudly reporting various readings into the microphones from time to time, all of them could not conceal the tension in their voices.

"Marshal? Why are you here?" Kaleyan turned his head from the podium, and immediately walked over quickly. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Celia: "What is the current index?"

"It's 24 percent higher than last night..." Kaleyan bowed his head and announced a series of numbers, and the Phoenix monocle immediately put the data into the system for backup. Celia shook her head and sighed silently: "Does this happen often in the fortress?"

"It doesn't happen very often." Before Kaleyan could answer, the Gemini Emperor turned his head from the huge light screen and stretched out his hand to Celia: "—Supernova explosions in the Mirror Prism constellation are rare, especially on this scale." The probability of a collective outbreak is almost nineteen decimal places, so it is difficult for us to make predictions in advance."

The emperor's original intention was for La Silia to come up, but when he turned around, he saw Celia straddle the podium with long legs, and shook hands with him casually.

The handshake was only a short half-second. Before the emperor could feel the temperature, Celia closed his hand and picked up the cup: "It's hard to predict, but it doesn't mean it can't be predicted. The only difference is whether anyone can think of this. Now the fortress How is the arrangement?"

"The anti-electromagnetic tide anti-membrane has covered the entire Fabras, and can resist electromagnetic attacks within a trillion trillion. However, there is still a certain possibility of interference, and the communication of the entire fortress will be affected."

For the space fortress, the most terrifying thing is the invasion of the cosmic electromagnetic wave. Once this happens, the communication of the entire fortress will be interrupted, the navigation will fail, the fleet will not be able to take off, and the optical brain will not be able to operate. disaster.

The emperor pretended not to care that his outstretched hand didn't get the proper response, and turned his head to continue watching the real-time universe screen. Kaleyan asked from the side: "Is this the timing you said, Marshal?"

"It is indeed the most opportune time for the enemy."

"But while the electromagnetic tide affects us, it will also affect the Dark Star Fleet..."

"The difference is big or small. The fortress cannot be moved, but the speed of the Dark Star Fleet is difficult for both the Empire and the Alliance to catch up." Celia paused, then thoughtfully said: "But this is not what I am most worried about... I'm wondering if Yunes will use some means to intensify this electromagnetic wave?"

Everyone around was startled, and even Aaron, who was buried in a military meeting with his subordinates not far away, suddenly raised his head: "Aggravated?"

Celia didn't make a sound, only Heinrich looked at the light screen without turning his head, and said softly, "I'm thinking about this too."

·

Nine thirty in the morning.

All the fleets of the fortress are ready to go, and in the dark underground hangar, there are densely packed and endless navigation lights.

The sky above the fortress is covered by a layer of anti-membrane that is hard to see with the naked eye. Through it, you can see the colorful sky in the daytime, constantly flipping, just like the magnificent aurora when the gods created the world. The overwhelming electromagnetic tide is approaching this isolated island in the vast space at a super-light speed, and before it reveals its terrifying true face, its poisonous brilliance fascinates everyone who witnessed it.

The horror and solemnity before the war engulfed Fabras like a dark cloud.

"What is the biggest difference between before you became emperor and after you became emperor?"

This question made Heinrich startled. After a while, he lowered his head and put a piece of beef into his mouth. He frowned and said, "It's not that different..."

When this question was asked, they were sitting among the huge branches of the central optical brain, eating with a set meal in each hand. The surroundings are full of thick electric pipes and wires, covering the two of them densely like a forest, and the tense sounds of work can be heard from the command hall outside from time to time.

This small resting space was discovered by Kaleyan. It has to be said that the new commander of the alliance is exceptionally talented in sneaking fish - he can even find this gap in the command center of the Imperial Army, and it is even in the central computer pipeline. ! This incident was made public because the central optical brain suddenly lost power. Admiral Aaron personally led people to repair it. When he rushed into this pipeline first, he suddenly saw him lying on the ground and sleeping on his back. The slobbering Union commander... Admiral Aaron was in a bad mood at the time.

Heinrich ladled the sauce on the plate to Celia, and dug a spoonful of rice from his bowl, and said, "When it comes to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, that's all there is to it, and there are still many things that I dare not eat. A few years ago, when Lanxi star shellfish became popular, the entire imperial palace ordered a fast, because this kind of shellfish is rare, and it is easy to cause illegal fishing, and I am afraid that if it becomes popular in the imperial palace, the entire upper class of the empire will follow suit."

"Other things, that's all." The emperor said, "During the war, I ran outside every day, thinking hard about how to win; after the founding of the country, there were fewer opportunities to go out, but there were more things to do. Busy, every morning when I wake up, my mind is filled with all kinds of problems, and there is no chance of drinking and meat... "

Heinrich peeked at Celia out of the corner of his eye, but the Union Marshal lowered his head, his right eye was still hidden behind the monocle, and he really couldn't see the expression clearly: "Then if you don't become emperor in the future, you plan to do it. what?"

That's a good question.

Heinrich narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "It will take at least two hundred years, right? I'm not sure that the constitutional monarchy can be realized in my hands, maybe we have to wait until our children grow up? And the constitutional monarchy is also a thing of the past. You can't leave immediately, at least you have to be a mascot in the palace for fifty years... When you can really leave, you can find a small planet to live in seclusion and rest for a while."

This question actually stumped Heinrich. He was taken away by Celia when he was in the military academy at the age of eighteen and became a bodyguard. After that, he went to war in the South and North, the mutiny in Chenqiao, exile in distant stars, and uprising... A series of events almost happened naturally under the impetus of history. In complete freedom, choose your own path.

"What about you? If one day you don't become the marshal of the alliance, what do you want to do?" Without waiting for Celia to get to the bottom of it, Heinrich immediately asked.

Celia slowly mixed the sauce into the rice. After all, Omega's appetite is not large, and each grain of rice was mixed with even and sufficient Heinesis fish sauce, which reflected the moist light under the light.

"I never thought about it," he finally said slowly, "I never thought about what it would be like to leave the army one day..."

What was Gavin Celia like as a commoner? Even Heinrich couldn't imagine this.

But he can't blame him, it's the same for most of the imperial army: they can accept the change of emperor or no emperor, but they can't accept that the commander of the enemy army is not Gavin Celia.

"Find an asteroid to farm and grow flowers, take a walk in the golden wheat field, open up a manor in the woods full of morning light and dew..." The emperor tried to mobilize the romantic cells in his whole body, but gave up after racking his brains for a long time, and said with emotion: " If you come with me we can buy an asteroid, for your sake, the Senate guys will let me open a private treasury to get money... what's the idea?"

Celia finally laughed and said, "Not bad."

He lowered his head and took a sip of his meal. Although it was just a simple meal, his eating movements were still very elegant and gentle. Heinrich lowered his head and wanted to pick out the well-fat and lean beef on the plate for him, when suddenly there was a series of footsteps outside, and then Aaron rushed up and pulled away the pile of wires!

"Your Majesty!" His voice was so sharp that he almost changed his tone: "The Empire has a message that the S-class gunship Thor's Hammer is firing at us!"

All actions stopped instantly, and Heinrich shouted: "What?!"

The emperor and commander suddenly got up at the same time, and rushed out of this narrow space. I saw chaos in the command hall, everyone was running and roaring, and all the commanders on the command platform looked at the emperor as if they were facing an enemy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"What's going on?" Heinrich snapped: "Where's Brigadier General Frey of the missile center? Tell him to talk back!"

The emperor's voice seemed to be under great pressure, and everyone was afraid to speak out. A few seconds later, Aaron finally replied tremblingly: "There was a riot at the Egret Star Missile Center, Brigadier General Frey was seriously injured..."

The emperor turned around in astonishment, and saw Isaac's face darkened, and said, "The Earl Herschel of the New South Gate galaxy has turned against him, led the mob into the missile center, and forcibly launched the S-class gunboat Thor's Hammer. Now it is traveling through the starry sky The door shoots towards Fabras Fortress, once it is detonated, it will induce a strong shock, and even intensify the electromagnetic wave to tens of trillions... "

There was silence in front of the podium, and everyone seemed to have been hit by a shell, and even stopped breathing.

The anti-membrane layer above the fortress is very dangerous even against the electromagnetic wave within a trillion trillion, making the whole base ready to fight, and everyone is in a state of panic all day long-but now, if the electromagnetic wave is intensified to tens of trillions...!

"... Marshal," Kaleyan, who had been lowering his head to talk to the alliance not far away, suddenly turned around.

Everyone looked at him, only to see that the new commander-in-chief, who has always been foolish and not in good shape, now has an expression on his face that has never been solemn, and even his voice is weak and pale: "There is news from Jin Mercury , a riot broke out in the Alliance Building, the Bailou Incubation Center was robbed, and the petri dish...was snatched away by the people from the Dark Star Hall."

There was a dead silence around, and Heinrich asked softly for a long while: "Snatched?"

— It’s just such a simple sentence, four words, but it’s like the depressing thundercloud before the storm, making everyone’s hearts tense for an instant!
