Him and their stars

It was June 20th when King Brunhilde of Suliuka led his fleet, which was not large but extremely elite, to leave the New Baghdad system.

On June 25th, they encountered a small incident when passing through the New Athens system.

This planet is guarded by the 14th Marine Division of the Community and its Terra Guard Fleet, which can be considered strong. However, in front of the fleet, the more than 30,000 marines on the planet, with an average training time of less than half a year and more than 300 high-powered heavy artillery, are just a shelf that can be pushed down.

So, Feru, the governor of the New Athens Office, and Brigadier General Mu Wei of the 14th Division presented a letter of surrender to the Angel of Dawn. They said that they had also arranged a grand dinner at the City Hall to entertain His Highness. If they were lucky enough to meet the real nobles, it would definitely be the greatest honor of their lives.

They were so enthusiastic that they always felt that they had ulterior motives. Of course, they did not wait for the reception of His Royal Highness King Suliuka, but only waited for a group of imperial armored grenadiers who suddenly landed. They then blocked a large group of soldiers with live ammunition in the backyard of the city hall. Brigadier General Mu Wei of the 14th Division also hid the pocket pistol used by intelligence officers and even took out a poisoned dagger from the belly of a fish.

"What is this? A bloody banquet? They actually want to hold the empire's election emperor hostage?"

When Ostana heard the news, she felt it was absurd and even wanted to laugh. You know, even if you put aside all emotional factors, their state is very normal.

Even if you put aside the identity of King Suliuka, he is a saint after all. Why do they think that such a small number of defeated soldiers can threaten a saint?

So, Ostana got the subsequent answer.

"We dare not act rashly against His Highness. We are here to hold you hostage. You are His Highness's think tank and best friend. She will definitely value your safety?"

...No, although I am not good at fighting, I am a psychic after all, and I am good at fighting.

Ostana was so angry that she laughed, but she had hardly demonstrated this ability in front of the public. Even most of the senior generals of the Imperial Army thought that she was really a brain-studded person who was powerless.

In any case, the behavior of the defenders of New Athens is still worthy of praise. They knew that they really had no resistance, so they held a Hongmen Banquet. Regardless of the operability, at least they used their brains and were very active.

Even Brunhilde showed some respect.

"Performing dishonorable acts to protect the country is more heroic than dying bravely. However, do they think that by holding you hostage, they can stop my advance? They are so naive. However, people who are still naive at such an old age are not annoying."

"That's true. But, Your Highness, they held me hostage in the hope of getting your promise to let them keep their private property."

"...I am so naive! I actually thought that I would always meet heroes and righteous men instead of insects."

"The policies you implemented in New Asia and Circe have already produced consequences. Thanks to you, the price that the intelligence department has to pay to appease the supporters on the Earth is much higher than before. I am afraid that the pressure from the Privy Council will come soon, right?"

Brunhildt thought that the judgment of the chief of staff lady should be correct overall, but she didn't mind.

In short, the behavior of New Athens successfully angered the conquerors of the empire. They were very angry, and the consequences were of course serious.

The neutron bomb bombing from orbit wiped out all the artillery positions on the planet's surface that could pose a threat to the fleet within five minutes. Under the coercion of the Imperial Grenadiers, the Marines and the Guards threw down their guns and surrendered, while Commander Feru and Brigadier General Muwei and others were dragged away and executed. New Athens was also included in the (temporary) rule and management of the Empire.

This also means that after more than half a century, the residents of the Tyree Sector are once again under the rule of the Empire.

Even at this time, the Angel of Dawn is still 700 to 800 light years away from the solar system, but the people on Earth have already intuitively felt the temperature of the hot melt axes of the Imperial Armored Grenadiers.

"The Imperial devils are coming back! What should we do?"

"Where's the fleet? Where's our fleet?"

"Where's our general? Where's the Dawn Dragon? Why didn't he come to protect us?"

"Quick, go and take out the Imperial flag from the last layer of the box... yes, the big safe under the bed. Clean it! No wrinkles can be left! Do you understand? No wrinkles at all."

Amid the chaos, the announcement of the Imperial fleet was sent directly to the Earth from the Angel of Dawn.

"I am Ostana Barr, Vice Admiral of the Holy Galactic Empire. The Terra sector where your capital solar system is located has been completely blocked by us. Your country has lost all the mobile forces that can be used to arrive. We urge the Blue Star Community Government to abide by reality and show its sincerity to end this war peacefully. Please immediately restrain your subordinates, stop all military operations and hostile acts, and disarm. Otherwise, our army will launch a full-scale attack on the Terra sector."

Ostana's words seemed very, very severe, but she always maintained a reserved and elegant smile, as if she was telling a cold joke in a serious manner. So, how strong this deterrent effect on the earth is is a matter of opinion.

However, when the Imperial Army sent the video of the attack on New Athens as it was, no one would doubt the effectiveness of this letter of persuasion.

In the video, everyone saw with their own eyes that an Apocalypse Eagle destroyer parked in the satellite orbit of New Athens fired a low-speed missile 10,000 kilometers away.

This missile, which was only 20 Mach, easily penetrated the dense atmosphere of New Athens with a neutron bomb, screamed through the futile interception of the thin barrage, and smashed into an artillery position.

Then, the shuddering flash and explosion overturned the tranquility of space, the blazing white light rapidly thinned, and in the huge sound that hit everyone's eardrums, the shock wave expanded into a huge orange sphere.

In the hot sphere, more than a hundred high-power heavy artillery that could threaten outer space objects and an entire command building were immediately broken into pieces.

It can be said that the person who shot this video must be a propaganda master who is well versed in the way of war and terror, and the picture really pulled all kinds of appeal to the full.

Finally, when the shadow of the command tower of the artillery base suddenly shattered in the halo of the explosion, the fragments flew high but turned into powder in the high temperature, which looked like the helplessness and struggle of people in the bombing of warships.

The above bleak but terrifying scene was reflected in the news screen of the earth. Even if they were not on the scene, many people were "blown" back by the sudden wind of the explosion in the picture.

The citizens of the earth were pale, but the impact on the powerful seemed to be greater.

If such a scene really happened on the earth, what should we do when it happened in the Eternal City? The imperialists can wipe out military buildings without hesitation, and can also kill the nobles of the lonely night city in various extremely undignified ways. Who can guarantee that they will not use neutron bombs to wipe out the Congress, the presidential palace, various government buildings and the bigwigs inside?

The members of parliament subconsciously gathered in the Capitol without waiting for the speaker to call a meeting. Of course, this behavior is more of a self-conscious group warming up than a spontaneous subjective initiative.

"What should we do now? From New Athens to Earth, where else can we get to?"

"Declare surrender? The imperial devil, no, the imperial queen is serious."

"After all, dragons want to eat people!"

"Shouldn't this be approved by the Presidential Palace?"

"We are the highest authority in the country! The declaration of war is approved by Congress! Of course, the armistice must also be approved by Congress."

It is interesting that the members of the Gongrong Party and the Seiyu Party, who are usually at odds with each other, have reached a subtle consensus. As for the People's Choice Party, which has been clamoring to protect the blue and pure world, they are all at a loss and speechless.

A few members of the Pioneer Party spontaneously gathered together to discuss. They sorted out the current information and could only draw a very pessimistic conclusion.

The earth is no longer safe and there are no soldiers to defend it.

At this time, an influential old member of the Communist Party began to shout loudly: "Yes! Everyone, don't pay attention to the president. We want to save ourselves, and we want to lead the people to end this war."

His cry attracted a wave of echoes from his followers. Of course, if it was in the previous Congress, there would be as many people who echoed as there were boos. But now, the camp that plays this role is silent.

"The people, the people of the community, and the people of the empire, have shed too much blood." The old member shouted again. This kind of speech standing on the moral high ground naturally brought even greater cheers.

The Pioneer Party members finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily: "It sounds good, isn't this surrender? Since you must surrender, can you declare it yourself?"

This soul-searching question did indeed lead to silence.

Of course, the members of the parliament did not want to be crushed into dust in the war, but of course they could not afford the infamy of the surrender faction.

After an awkward silence, a smart person finally came up with a conclusion: "Put pressure on the presidential palace. Ask President Nishita to make his decision."

"Yes, yes, since he is our leader, this is what he should bear!"

"Whether it is war, or voting... no, ceasefire, we obey."

"Yes, yes, if you don't vote... no, if the bloodshed doesn't stop, impeach him and replace him with a rational one."
