Him and their stars

King Sulyuka Brynhilt raised his head from his work and saw Vice Admiral Ostana Barr, the chief of staff, standing at the door of the office.

Since the Battle of the Ring of Miracles, the core members of King Suliuka have received promotions and salary increases. Miss Chief of Staff is certainly no exception. She even received the title of "Baroness Ming Yirun", and officially changed from a small town scholar who was born in an ordinary citizen's family to a hereditary noble with a fief. It was definitely a class jump.

However, the joy that enveloped the entire Brunhildt fleet only lasted for less than two weeks and then dissipated.

On the last day of September, when the main fleet led by Brunhilt only had 48 hours left to sail from the Unity Fortress, they finally received huge bad news.

The fall of an elected emperor, the destruction of a Titan ship, and the death of nearly half a million imperial soldiers all happened in just half a day. Perhaps, only in the meat grinder-like third galactic war before the common galactic era, such tragic losses would occur.

However, having said that, Brunhild still could only rush to the scene as quickly as possible and do his best to rescue the survivors who were still unknown.

She sincerely hopes that she can save King Soleyn, not just because this uncle is the first to express his full support for her in the election of the emperor, but also because the other party is still half of her. A teacher of the art of war.

Before Brunhild officially entered the advanced studies of the Royal Military Academy at the age of thirteen, all his knowledge of military affairs came from the tutor group headed by Lieutenant General Xiurei, the palace minister, and then King Thoraine as the royal family. A military summer camp for young children.

When he was thirteen years old, Brunhild defeated the battle-hardened No. 1 king of the royal family, King Thorane, in a mock battle. Of course, this matter is just a palace anecdote that is not popular with outsiders. But the young King Suliuka established his absolute confidence in the war.

From this point of view, how could Uncle Soleyn not be regarded as her mentor of Brynhilt?

The heirs of the eight royal families are said to be members of the Chenxi royal family, but if we really wanted to trace their origins, we would have to find the same ancestor three thousand years ago. It is naturally impossible to say that there is any unbreakable blood relationship. However, unless the parties are fighting to the death for the election of the emperor, both parties will at least have similar class sentiments.

Brunhild really hopes to find Uncle Thoraine alive. However, she also knew that this possibility had actually dropped to the level of a miracle.

As a result, in the next few days, the entire Dawn Angel fell into a low pressure state.

When the fleet arrived at the Unity Fortress on September 2, King Suliuka discovered to his surprise that forty or fifty warships had gathered here, all arriving from other galaxies one after another. Needless to say, people must have received news from the Unity Fortress and rushed from nearby to rescue them, including even a reinforcement fleet from the Eye of Dawn.

Brunhildt, whose mental structure was already unstable, wanted to go crazy at that time.

If you all come here, won’t the entire Dawn Channel become a public toilet? Couldn't Yang Xiyi's fleet come and leave whenever they want?

Of course, as the elected emperor, she still did not spit out these vulgar words after all.

"Well, this is actually my mistake. As the top general of the New World, I did not consider the status of most people. In fact, I should have anticipated the dynamics of each squadron. When I received the news released by Yang Xiyi, I The entire war zone should be notified as soon as possible and everyone should return to their respective positions." For the first time, frustration appeared on Brunhilt's face:

"I'm shaken, since I didn't even think of this. Ostana, I still have a lot of shortcomings!"

"Actually, I thought of it, but I didn't remind you." Ostana said.

"...Is there any reasonable reason?"

Ostana said: "You may think that things have already happened. No matter how many fleets are gathered in the Unity Fortress, some things will not help. The first thing that needs to be considered is the subsequent war issues. However, this is just an ideal state. The entire The New World is now your defense zone, and the dead and wounded in the Unity Fortress are all your subordinates. King Thoraine is your teacher, and he came from the Gate of Glory to support you. At least what the Privy Council issued to the nobles and citizens The battle report is like this.

"If you issue such an order, public opinion will definitely accuse you of not saving anything, and it will definitely affect the attitude of the Senate."

Brunhilt sneered: "Wouldn't it affect the attitude of the Senate if Yang Xiyi comes in and out of the Dawn Channel?"

"That's just a mistake in military deployment. As powerful as Emperor Yiwenya and today, haven't you also made mistakes? To put it harshly, the victory of the Miracle Circle is enough for you to make many mistakes. However, from your standpoint On the other hand, reputation is very important. Although the Tireluo people hate cowards and are only willing to follow the brave. However, what they hope to follow is actually a humane hero, not a cold and heartless political animal. At least, this must be the case on the surface. "

Ostana Barr sighed: "Your Highness, the empire is never perfect."

Yes, even if it is an authoritarian system like the Galactic Empire, it is the same as all republican systems that check and balance each other when it reaches the highest level of political ecology.

Miss Chief of Staff did not say anything: The only person who can break this political ecology and act willfully is the emperor. However, you are not the emperor yet.

However, she believed that Brunhilt must understand.

The latter did not answer immediately, but just looked out the porthole. After a long time, she said in a calm tone: "Ostana, I just felt very uncomfortable. I just felt that my heart was cold and my mouth was dry. This is the feeling of a high-level psychic. Haha, since the miracle After the Battle of the Ring, my mental state has been very close to that of a magic stick."

Ostana did not dare to answer immediately. She could indeed feel that since receiving the news from the Unity Fortress, Brunhilt seemed to have sublimated again. Although the person is still the same person, he has an added depth and mysterious majesty.

This is definitely not the magic stick she calls herself.

"Ostana, Duke Sadolan, Duke Macedo, and Duke Temint should all have died. The possibility of them and Lan Jiufeng dying together should only be 30%. There is a high probability that we will face a true god. Rise up.”

"Your Highness..."

"However, this is not a big deal. Lan Jiufeng's climb to the Nine Rings is actually a high probability event. Xingjian Pavilion had such expectations fifty years ago. Similarly, the death of three dukes does not count. What a big deal. Counting hereditary and lifelong ones, there are still twenty-four grand dukes and forty-seven dukes in the empire," Brunhild said.

Miss Chief of Staff found herself unable to speak.

"However, the death of the leader and deputy leader of the Astral Knights, as well as the chief cardinal judge of the Grand Inquisition, is a serious injury to our great empire. Ostana, you say, Who should take their place?"

After nearly half a minute, Miss Chief of Staff finally said: "...This, this is not something that subordinates can comment on."

"I think you can. Ostana." Brunhilt turned his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes calmly.

She was obviously sitting, but Ostana felt as if she was being looked down upon by a huge god standing tall in the sky. For a moment, the oppressive feeling like the scorching sun was overwhelming, almost stopping the flow of his blood, and it seemed that he had to use all his strength to even take a breath.

As a result, Ostana Barr's usual smile could no longer be maintained. She lowered her eyelids and trembled.

"Ostana, this is the last time." Brünnhilt spoke in a gentle accent.

"...Understood." Miss Chief of Staff spoke with her last strength.

"Very good. You know, I still rely heavily on your wisdom." Brynhilt smiled.

Immediately afterwards, the pressure that enveloped Miss Chief of Staff suddenly disappeared without a trace. The latter suddenly discovered that his back was actually soaked, and he shivered subconsciously when the warm air equipment in the ship blew.

However, immediately afterwards, she suddenly showed an ecstatic smile, and stepped forward to hold Brynhilt's hands: "That's great, that's great, Your Highness, you don't know how long I have been waiting for today. Got it!"

Brunhilt did not throw away the opponent's hands. With her current strength, it only took a thought to throw the opponent out the door. It's just that the Queen was a little surprised by the sudden abnormality of the Chief of Staff.

She frowned and looked at the gaffe. At this moment, the graceful and indifferent smile could not be seen on the face of the chief of staff. Even her dark red eyes were full of excitement, even going crazy in time, as if she was a lucky winner. A gambler who wins a horse or a dead fisherman who lands a big fish.

King Suliuka couldn't help but sigh: "...Sure enough, all those with facial paralysis are sullen, and all slutty people also have a hopelessly sexy side."

"Whatever you say. Your Highness, this is an excellent start anyway! Really, an excellent, excellent start!"

In short, with such a commotion, the little discord between the monarch and his ministers disappeared. Ostana can still maintain an impeccable business attitude with a smile on her face, complaining about her master; and King Sulyuka is as always the magnanimous, perfect and most elected emperor in the universe.

All in all, not a shred of haze was left. real!

The subsequent action was naturally to rescue possible survivors in the Unity Fortress.

By September 6, in the Dawn Pass system, in front of the ruins of the Unity Fortress, more than 200 Imperial warships had been hit, including the Titan ship Dawn Angel and three dreadnoughts.

Millions of soldiers worked day and night around this huge ruins, hoping to rescue as many comrades as possible. However, everyone has been so busy that they have only rescued three-digit survivors, half of whom are even permanently disabled due to brain damage. Such pessimistic results constantly remind them that all they are doing now is just doing their best, obeying fate, and seeking peace of mind.

During this period, everyone finally found the body of King Thoraine near the hull of the Mountain God Gundarang that could not be repaired. The fall of the elected emperor was finally confirmed.

As for most of the remaining important generals who have disappeared, as well as high-ranking psykers such as Knight Commander Count Baorre and Star Viewer Viscount Eris, their bodies have not been found yet. However, we all know that in this situation, no news must be the worst news.

Brynhilt seemed to have accepted all this calmly, and just drafted a very detailed report and sent it to the country. Then he gave an order to all the fleets in the Dawn Star Territory to let them settle in their respective places, and then in his own The door is closed in the office and only appears once in a while.

Anyway, directing disaster relief does not require her to personally give orders.

In comparison, the latest battle reports sent from various places and studying the community's new tactics and new warships are indeed more worthy of Brunhilt's attention. On this point, Ostana Barr also thinks so. If some major new situation hadn't happened, Miss Chief of Staff really didn't want to disturb her master.

Sure enough, what she was waiting for first was the lord's cynicism.

"The last time you came to bother me, it was the Community Marines of Miracle Circle who still refused our surrender. So General Farrell decided to continue the siege. The last time you came to bother me, it was Yaochi. The enemy once again lost troops and generals, but still couldn't take down a mere isolated city. When you came to me last time, you told me that Yang Xiyi's fleet came from the Eye of Dawn and disappeared again before our fleet intercepted it. Ostana, if I hadn’t been cured of the Raushizi mutant collagen disease, otherwise I would have died from the endless bad news you brought during this period.”

"Although Wei Chen does want to apologize, unfortunately, it is still huge bad news." Ostana said.

Brunhilt sighed silently and closed the various documents and images projected on the desktop by the terminal.

"Sit down." She pointed to the sofa and waved her hand. The wine cabinet next to her opened automatically, and her invisible but flexible arms floated out holding a bottle of good ice honey and two wine glasses. The bottle cap of the former popped open immediately, and the process of pouring wine began.

By the time they landed smoothly and lightly on the table, the golden wine had already filled the wine glass.

Psionics is the most basic psionic skill, and it is also a "universal skill" that can be used by almost all star rings. Most psykers can use it once or twice even before they are fully awakened.

Being able to use telekinesis as freely and freely as before seems difficult to reflect the skills and attainments of a psyker. Of course, there are not a few psychic masters with this method among the imperial nobles, but they would rather install a bell in the room and shake a dozen servants to help them when they encounter a water bottle. They will never use it. The noble spirit does these chores.

Yes, ostentation can also represent strength. The nobles of the empire actually agree with this.

Brunhildt was not pretentious in this regard. As an elected emperor, even if she was on the front line, she had a reinforced platoon of maids and orderlies responsible for her daily life, but the young queen was not prepared to behave like a giant baby who lacked the ability to take care of herself.

This is not because she is a rebellious girl who has no taboos and insists on being different from most traditional nobles, but she is just simply troublesome.

"Let me guess..." The young queen shook the wine glass slowly and looked directly at the chief of staff opposite: "If the body of another important person is found, it is not important enough for you to report it personally. To the extent. Then, it should be the mainland, right?"

"Your Majesty, there is no sage." Ostana flattered her in a somewhat taboo manner.

"Counting the time, Yu Lian arrived at Nantianmen with four Lord Gods more than a week ago, right? He must have made another big news, right?"

"Sure enough, you are the only one who understands the Dragon of Dawn!" Ostana continued with admiration on her face. But whether this is flattery or not is hard to say.

Brynhilt snorted coldly: "So, he united with the Outer Rim Fleet and defeated the Blood Gate's combined fleet?"

"...It's worse than this." Ostana sighed: "The Blood Gate's combined fleet was completely wiped out, and all the Blood Gate fortresses were demolished."

What surprised Ostana slightly was that her master did not show much surprise and just sneered: "This may be considered good news. If the Cathays and Angans of the Blood Gate lose, If it’s too miserable, it seems like we won’t be particularly embarrassed.”
