Him and their stars

How virtuous and capable am I? Sobek thought.

Obviously my biggest dream in this life is to become a lieutenant general in charge of logistics or personnel. When I retire, I will be promoted to the first level and receive the treatment of a general, and then I can naturally restore my family name. Speaking of which, the baron I am now is still a lifelong nobleman because I awakened my spiritual power and looked at the name of my ancestors. If you can change the title to hereditary after retirement and have a serious title, even if you are the lowest baron, you can be regarded as restoring your family name.

You see, I am such a peaceful person, I really don’t know where your expectations for me come from.

But at this time, he no longer knew how to end it, so he could only bite the bullet and play out his character, and sighed faintly: "...But, the disciple feels that in this way, this fisherman It feels too obvious. Even if Lan Jiufeng leaves, he won't be fooled. Teacher, I always feel that we are working hard in vain."

"As long as you do it, your hard work will not be in vain. At least we can be sure that your old enemy is a cool-headed guy, and ordinary tricks will not work on him! If you want to deal with him in the future, you must make a detailed plan Make the layout, be mentally prepared for sacrifice, and then be sure to hit hard!”

Is the so-called punch the half-ton of antimatter material you poured into one of the Bakvi warships? It was also stabilized with a psychic array. If the Dreadnought on the opposite side really launches a sneak attack, the light cruiser will immediately turn into a super-large anti-matter torpedo, right?

Well, although it was fishing, at least the Duke did not use imperial soldiers as bait, and he was very particular about what he did, but he was a bit sorry for those loyal Bakvi bird warriors.

Oh, the Bakvi bird people are actually good at building ships and doing shipping business, but their level of fighting is really hard to describe. And the main reason is not the technical reason, but the courage reason. Of course, under the "encouragement" of Duke Sartolan, a great man with a noble status, all the birdmen and soldiers on the ship seemed to have been exhausted for several lifetimes, and they were all ready to die fighting for the empire.

However, Soback still felt a little unbearable. Seeing that the cheap teacher was in a good mood, he took the opportunity and said: "There are tens of millions of applications for imperial citizenship in the Bakvi Republic every year. Even those who are eligible for naturalization applications have to wait at least Five or six years. Teacher, can you work it out a little bit...if they really sacrifice their lives for the loyalty of the empire, give imperial citizenship to their immediate family members? Anyway, there are only five or six hundred people on that ship, which is the most for all immediate family members. There are only three to five thousand people.”

Duke Sadolan glanced at Sobek, his expression not changing at all: "I will write you a note when I go back, and you can just go to the vassal academy to handle it."

Of course, the dignified Grand Master would not take such "mundane matters" seriously, but he wrote a note specifically for Sobek, which was considered very honorable.

Sobek was indeed very moved.

But at this time, I heard Duke Sartolan say again: "Look, this is why I think you don't look like an orthodox astral knight. However, this kind of thinking may be what we lack most."

Soback felt even more moved. Although this cheap teacher always drags himself to do extreme training, and always has inexplicable expectations of himself that his life cannot bear, he is indeed very good to himself.

"So, if you want to deal with Lan Jiufeng's disciple in the future, you and your brothers will need to join hands. You must make good use of your wisdom and your connections. But when it comes to making a decision, , even if it’s Ymir (Viscount Shameen), you have to learn to treat him as a tool.”

Sobek felt horrified just by imagining that scene. He trembled for a moment and felt it was time to change the subject, so he quickly poured another glass of red wine for Teacher Cheap.

He calmed down his emotions and said in a pleading tone: "Teacher, I just counted 34,261 pieces of debris extracted from the explosion site, of which 1,426 are relatively complete. You already know this. We are already working on it. Preparations for reverse research are in progress.”

The topic was changed a bit abruptly, causing Duke Sartolan's expression to become a bit stiff. "... Yeager, I have already said that you are now the acting admiral of this supervision. This kind of routine secular affairs Just decide for yourself.”

Yes, Yeager Soback doesn't even have the star on his back yet, but he has unknowingly begun to take charge of the daily affairs of the entire fleet. But even so, he still maintained a work report to the Duke at least once a day.

Even though the latter had made it clear that this was not necessary, Soback still insisted on it.

Born into an ordinary family and a member of the colonial army, he understands this society very well. Leaders can say that this does not have to be the case, and can even delegate power at will. Of course they are qualified to show their open-mindedness to their heart's content, but you must be clear-headed and never take it seriously.

What's more, as the acting "fleet commander", he was actually rushing to get on the shelves. If he didn't report it, he would feel quite unsure.

"We are still reading the voyage diary, but we still haven't found any clues."

Duke Sadolan sighed silently and nodded businesslikely: "Yes."

"The Snake's ship that was captured... still hasn't found the operating mechanism of the stealth function. I suspect that this device may have a self-destruct function that will automatically activate once the ship is attacked and unable to escape."

Duke Sadolan nodded expressionlessly: "This is indeed the style of the snake."

"We should arrive at the NR18 galaxy within 48 hours." Soback said again.

Duke Sadolan sighed: "Yeager, if you have nothing to do, you can get out now!"

"...Well, actually there is something wrong." Soback scratched his head in embarrassment: "Teacher, do you think my work during this period is still reliable?"

The Duke snorted coldly and said nothing. However, you can express a lot of attitude without speaking.

"So, what I mentioned to you last time... Haha, I still sent you an application letter." Soback said cautiously.

"Indeed, the ancient ship has been destroyed, and the looter's devil's labyrinth should have been destroyed. Lan Jiufeng and his disciples will not talk nonsense about this kind of thing. In this case, your reconnaissance mission is indeed over. , it’s time to change positions.” The Duke smiled.

Yes, that’s what it means! The application I wrote last time clearly stated that I hoped to be transferred to the logistics and armaments department, and I also explained the reasons in detail. However, the thinking is clear, the logic is smooth, and the evidence is sufficient to write several large articles.

"I have also read your transfer application, and it is well written. Haha, you are actually quite suitable for document work." The Duke added.

Judging from what you said, I am actually the best at, ah no, only good at document work.

"So, I have already sent a signal to the expeditionary force headquarters. I sent it last week. If everything goes well, I should have received it." The Duke took a deep look at his proud disciple: "If nothing unexpected happens, You will be awarded the rank of brigadier general by FireWire, and will be incorporated into the service of His Highness Brunhilt, King of Sulyuka, as squadron commander and member of the staff."

Colonel Soback actually felt that he was not surprised at all, and his mood was so calm that even he was a little surprised.

...Okay, he suddenly found that he was used to it. People's adaptability is very scary. When your mind is so numb that you have no consciousness, even fate can't help you.

"This great expedition used nearly half of the empire's mobile forces, as well as a large number of fleets from princes and vassal states. The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force was King Soleyn, and one of his deputies was King Suliuka... It was established in the Land of Glory The unified headquarters of the sect also includes King Bedo and King Wilent. Yeager, don’t you think it’s interesting?”

Soback thought to himself that my scalp feels numb just hearing these names.

"In a sense, political accounts are actually more difficult to settle than military accounts. I'm the worst at dealing with this, but you should be fine." Duke Sadolan smiled.

That, I’m actually not good at either! I am just an ordinary person from a colonial family, and I am not an heir trained by generations of princes. Why do you have this illusion?

"And... according to the confessions of the two snake captives, the great prophet is also on the side of the predators, right?"

Soback nodded.

"She is very important. Capture her alive or kill her so that she cannot fall into the hands of the Earth or the Alliance." Duke Sadolan put his hand on the table, covered his face with the shadow of his wrist, and his voice suddenly lowered: "Of course, you can also choose to give her to your favorite Highness."

"Teacher, this..."

"Haha, you need to make your own judgment." The Duke pointed at his disciple's heart: "What's the matter, do you think that a simple warrior like me who doesn't care about secular affairs can really ignore everything?"

"I don't have much time to teach you, but what I'm teaching you now is much more important than the secret combat skills of some knights!

Soback felt that he had lost the ability to think and could only speak mechanically: "Teacher, you, you, I..."

"What am I? What's going on with this expression of preparing to bury me? I'm in good spirits now, but I had several battles with the ancient war figures left behind by the Enlightened Ones, and they don't want me to go back. Take a rest? Besides, your teacher and I are the eighth ring! There are very few opportunities to encounter such a hearty battle, so don't you want to have some insights? Don't you want to find a place to rest and feel the truth of the universe? "

"You will be officially the admiral of the fleet soon. You should first think about how to be a good commander." He laughed loudly: "You will be the commodore soon! This time you are one step ahead of your old enemy. Now! Yeager, be happy. You should be happy!"

Soback felt that maybe he should be happy, so he accompanied his cheap teacher and laughed a few times.

Probably because he was sure that good things would always happen when he got promoted. During the subsequent voyage, what Soback had always hoped not to happen did not happen.

No matter whether the imperial fleet here turns off the reaction shield or illuminates it with light waves, the people on the opposite side of the earth are always very stable. As a result, all Duke Sadolan's work was in vain, and all the ruthless and extreme operations he had done before were suddenly full of the funny flavor of firing cannons.

Of course, the Duke himself doesn't mind at all. At his level, he will no longer be embarrassed by one or two operational mistakes, let alone the eyes of "mortals".

But isn’t that nice? The two sides who had just finished fighting a copy of the Enlightenment in "loyal unity" were not at odds with each other, and the docile Bakvi Birdman crew members would not turn into human torpedoes because of the Duke's "encouragement".

Wouldn't it be considered a world where no one is harmed?

In this way, the Imperial Fleet and the Scarlet Throne maintained an awkward but polite sailing side by side, and finally arrived at the NR18 galaxy on May 28.

Three weeks ago, when they left, this ordinary galaxy in the middle of the New World Highway was just a very ordinary transit galaxy. But now, this remote galaxy, which has never appeared in any news headlines in the past, has become a large barracks with thousands of large and small warships gathered.

More than a thousand artificial creations, large and small, are clearly divided into two parts, as if forming two space urban groups.

To be honest, with the size of the battleship, even if such a huge number were gathered, in a stable star system in its young adulthood, it would be like pepper noodles sprinkled in the sea.

But maybe those artificial lights were too existential. When the battleship jumped into this galaxy, Yu Lian inexplicably had a crowded and busy feeling like soldiers and horses gathered together and an army was camping.

As a result, this remote galaxy suddenly had a human flavor.

In short, it was time for the "Joint Archaeological Team" composed of the Community and the Empire to be disbanded. At this time, the leaders of both parties finally pretended to have a communication.

"We have benefited a lot from this operation. Thank you for your cooperation." Yu Liandao.

"I would also like to thank your army for your guidance, and I hope that we can continue to cooperate sincerely in subsequent operations." Soback said.

"...Brother Yeager, your diplomatic rhetoric and expression management seem to be getting more and more expressive!" Yu Lian smiled and said: "Is it the special training of Duke Sartolan?"

Soback twitched the corners of his mouth and gave an almost impeccable diplomatic smile: "Well, I'm sorry."

After crossing the gravity well, the red dreadnought with stereotyped and ugly lines and the gorgeous imperial fleet ended their three-week "cooperation" and parted ways.

Soon, four ghost fighters with the Sun Star Fleet emblem on their wings flew towards the Throne. When they were still a certain distance away from the battleship, they sent an identification signal and communication request.

The pilots leading the team saluted Yu Lian very politely, and then said that they would act as pilots and guide the Throne into the fleet formation.

The scene that followed felt a bit like driving a big car to find a place in the parking lot. However, although the galaxy is already filled with fleets from the Milky Way mainland, in fact, the distance between the battleships is much wider than imagined, so the voyage along the way is not dangerous.

When Yu Lian could already see the first fleet and the expeditionary fleet's flagship "Independence" dreadnought in the distance through the porthole of the bridge, he also received Yang Xiyi's instant message.

"I know that you are very tired from the long journey, and it is not very humane for you to come to participate in the military meeting right away. But now, the entire New World Expedition Fleet and the generals from the former enemy headquarters are waiting for your good news. I can only ask you Those who are capable should work harder." Yang Xiyi shrugged and smiled very gently, which was particularly in line with his academic Confucian general personality. However, perhaps it was because he was so gentle and gentle that Yu Lian could always see the strange yin and yang aura seeping out from his eyebrows.

What's more, the fact that this person is laughing and twirling the cup makes it very clear.
