- Sick.
This message was sent in the format of a strict star-level diplomatic letter, with beautiful wording and a tactful tone, and there was Celia's flamboyant signature at the end.
However, from the emperor to the generals of the empire, a group of people circulated it three times over and over again, and only came to one conclusion—provocation!
This is definitely a naked provocation!
From the Alliance Gold Mercury to the New Kremlin of the Empire, there are 12 interstellar gates in the middle. If the speed is fast, it will take a few days. During this period of time, people are sitting in the alliance warships, drinking the water in the circulatory system, and eating the food in the synthesis system, so why don’t you tell me where you are not acclimatized
What chance can you get acclimatized? !
"The marshal does not want to participate in the meeting ceremony." A group of imperial generals studied head to head for a long time, and finally shook their heads: "The marshal may have a very tough attitude towards this peace talk. I suggest that your majesty consider readjusting the contract plan."
Most of the generals who came to the new Kremlin this time were from the alliance, that is, the brothers and sisters who were exiled to do hard labor with Heinrich. These people have a special feeling of love and hate for Celia, and they still call him Marshal. After the unlucky Comrade Kaleyan accepted the rank of Marshal, they nailed countless villains.
The emperor held the thin diplomatic letter in his hand, his narrow and deep eyes flashed with cold light, and he sneered for a while: "I don't want to participate in the meeting ceremony..."
The generals looked at each other, and the more straightforward ones said, "Isn't it a good time not to come? I thought that Kaleyan was not pleasing to the eye, but this time there is no marshal to back him up! Don't fucking stop me, Lao Tzu took this opportunity to beat him to the ground!"
Immediately there was a response from the surroundings: "That's it!" "What are you fooling around all day?" "You must beat him, and those people in the alliance don't have a good thing!"…
"Cough cough cough!" Elder Longfellow sternly stopped: "General Dreiser! General Fuller!"
The few people whose names were called shrank their heads, but there was still a disapproving expression on their faces. Only Admiral Aaron chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Kaleyan can still see it with just a little cleverness. If he has a real knife and a real gun, he is a war scum—"
Elder Longfellow was helpless, thinking that he had supported the Alliance Army for 50 years with his "smartness" and that he had become the new marshal. Can you guys be more realistic
But thinking about it this way, on the surface he can only turn his face away and pretend not to hear—Elder Longfellow, who is in charge of the Senate, is old and experienced, and he is quite dignified when facing most of the military generals, but in Aaron Standing shoulder to shoulder with the word king was still relatively weak, so he could only wink at Heinrich, signaling the supreme emperor to come forward and stop them.
However, the supreme emperor stared at the exquisite official letter in his hand, slightly frowned his thick brows like a knife, and after a moment of contemplation, he showed a sneer: "—Zhan Wuscum..."
Elder Longfellow: "..."
Elder Longfellow's eyes went dark, and an ominous premonition arose from the bottom of his heart.
…
The Alliance Fleet fell with the night, and Celia did not show up after landing. A special car sent him directly to the inner palace of the New Kremlin to recuperate.
The alliance mission headed by Kaleyan entered through the main entrance. From a distance, two rows of honor guards dressed in gorgeous military uniforms, wearing tassels on their chests and holding long swords, stood all the way down the steps from the main entrance of the palace, passing through the wide The palace outer gardens line up to the outermost gilded bronze gate. As soon as Kaleyan and his group set foot on the red carpet, they heard the salute from the front of the team, and a series of fifty-two golden and red fireworks rose into the night sky, exploding countless gorgeous sparks, setting the majesty of the palace on fire. The majestic architectural outline reflects incomparably magnificent.
The generals of the imperial army stood at the main entrance of the palace, all dressed in black imperial uniforms, with their heads held high and their chests held high, lined up at the top of the steps. Emperor Heinrich himself stood at the forefront, with his hands folded in front of him, his face slightly raised arrogantly, and his eyes looking down—at this time Kaleyan and others were walking through the vast palace garden and walked down the steps Sometimes he looked up.
In an instant, the eyes of the two sides met, and there was a zigzag, and countless lightning flashed out.
What Kaleyan thinks is: I will wipe your MB! Deliberately filling up the top steps is forcing us to stand one step lower to shake hands with you, right? !
What the emperor thought was: the intelligence from the Alliance is actually correct! The epaulets of Kaleyan's military uniform are indeed empty!
On the chest and shoulders of the orthodox marshal uniform, there is a gold military emblem on each side, representing the power of the sea, land and air forces. Celia also has a titanium silver saber that symbolizes the marshal's dignity. And Kaleyan's military uniform only has a chest badge, no shoulder badge, and no sword. Did Celia not give him these two things
The emperor's eyes softened a little, and he stretched out his hand and said politely: "Long time no see, everyone in the alliance."
At this moment, Kaleyan walked down the steps, and in an instant he had already designed a countermeasure in his mind.
He stopped, looked at Heinrich from a distance with a distance of more than a dozen golden brick steps, and said with a smile, "You are also welcome, Your Majesty the Emperor."
His Majesty the Emperor: "..."
This scene was so ridiculous that the two parties just went up and down and looked at each other across the steps. After a long while, Heinrich withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and asked, "I heard that the Marshal is unwell, is there anything wrong?"
This marshal obviously refers to Celia-Kaleyan, a marshal who is somewhat lacking in confidence. He must not be able to refute that Celia is now the head of the legion, but it is too good-looking not to refute. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Kaleyan turned his head and said seriously to Lieutenant General Mo Wen: "Remember to pass on His Majesty's greetings to Lord Celia. He will be very pleased to know that the former chief guard cared about him so much."
The former chief guard: "..."
"Cough, cough, cough!" After a strange silence, Elder Longfellow, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, coughed a few times, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Marshal Kaleyan has worked hard all the way, please come in for the state banquet Bar!"
·
Although the empire expressed its resolute unfriendliness to Kaleyan and the others, the state banquet was still of a very high standard. When preparing the banquet, no one expected that Celia would be sick. If they knew, they might give Kaleyan a bowl Porridge would be fine.
The state banquet was arranged in the auditorium of the main hall of the palace, and the overall layout was like a magnificent winter palace, with high vaults and surrounding walls decorated with glittering silver and white ice and snow decorations. The floor was bright and white, and there was a huge rectangular dining table in the middle. The royal ceremonial orchestra played welcome music on the bandstand, and court ladies in ceremonial uniforms shuttled around, serving dishes in an orderly manner.
The imperial generals and the alliance missions were seated on both sides of the table separately, and Heinrich was at the top of the long table, with the empire on his left and the alliance on his right—after all, the status of the emperor is detached, so this arrangement is not considered rude, but Kaleyan After looking at it, he found that he was actually placed in the second place in the alliance seat.
No wonder Celia insisted on complaining... Kaleyan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he had expected the emperor to do such a thing, right
The empire's intentions are also unpredictable enough, and the leader of the alliance army is placed above the marshal, how fucking want to make trouble...
The emperor acted nonchalantly, stood at the head with a wine glass, smiled and said: "In order to jointly resist the invasion of the forces of the alien system, the generals of the alliance have traveled thousands of miles from the Andromeda galaxy. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for this!"
As the emperor raised his head and drank the wine, people from the empire and the alliance also stood up to clink glasses at the same time—it was said to be clinking glasses, but the clinking of glasses was really so-so, especially Kaleyan and General Aaron who was facing him. It didn't stick together.
Heinrich just ignored it, and took a crystal goblet from the female officer: "The terrorist forces of the Dark Star Hall have invaded the Milky Way. Only by working together can we maintain the peace of the country and the people - the second cup wishes Make the peace talks a success, please!"
There was another sporadic clinking of glasses. This time, many people drank the wine without stretching out their hands. Kaleyan and Aaron even intensified, and there was almost no wine in the glasses.
Heinrich still pretended not to notice, and waved to the attendants to bring the third glass of wine. He raised it up and said with a smile, "This glass is for the health of Marshal Celia—"
Before the words finished, there was a lot of ding ding ding ding, everyone finally found a common topic this time, so they were more sincere. Even Kaleyan and Aaron reluctantly touched the rim of their glasses, quickly withdrew their hands and drank the wine in one gulp.
After drinking for three rounds, the scene was finally not so embarrassing, so Elder Longfellow warmly invited everyone to sit down and start the banquet.
Fortunately, there was such a neutral person, and the Imperial Orchestra in front played extremely hard, and the scene finally maintained a superficial harmony. A few high-ranking military officials could barely chat with each other with a smile, and most of the topics revolved around insensitive topics—it's a pity that for the empire and the alliance, whose hatred is deeper than the sea, there are too few insensitive topics, and in the end they had to not Stop discussing the dishes at the banquet, the music, and Celia's unreasonable ailment, and after ten minutes, they finally exhausted their words.
Heinrich lowered his head to drink, and Aaron pulled the steak again and again. After a long silence, Kaleyan finally said dryly: "The state banquet is very rich, your country is really hospitable—"
Aaron raised his head suddenly, no matter from his expression or tone, he couldn't hide the meaning of "here we are at last": "Do you know why?"
Kaleyan: "... because your country is very hospitable?"
"No!" Aaron said categorically, Elder Longfellow took a sip of the wine and suddenly puffed! Spray it clean.
However, Admiral Aaron ignored him, and just stared at Kaleyan very seriously, and said: "--Today is the founding day of our empire."
Kaleyan: "..."
Who are you bluffing? Who are you bluffing? ! Your empire's military history is basically based on nonsense, and the victory record is completely bragging. I have never heard of an army founding day, okay
Kaleyan felt as if a thousand mud horses whizzed by, and the corner of his mouth twitched for a while and asked, "So...?"
"So today is a special day." Aaron smiled mysteriously, then turned to Heinrich and asked, "Your Majesty, let the guests from the Alliance come from afar to experience the tradition of our Empire's Army Day, how about it?"
The emperor immediately put down his wine glass, wiped his mouth with a napkin, turned his head and asked the attendant to bend down, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Marshal is still in the room?"
The attendant nodded invisibly: "Yes, I have been resting and haven't come out."
Satisfied, the emperor turned around and saw Kaleyan sitting there inexplicably. He couldn't help but smiled in an extremely friendly manner, and then turned his head and said only one word to Aaron: "—Okay."
