Chapter 1696 Inspiring Story
Viscount Soback is a person who can easily reach a balance with himself, and of course he hopes that the same is true for his comrades.
But now, he could only look at the other party worriedly as he continued to ramble.
"If I could defeat Tai'a in the shortest time, the situation of the battle would definitely be different. Yes, I made a misjudgment, and my personal combat power cannot directly change the situation of the battle. This is all due to my lack of ability. Alas, this is all It's my fault. I just knew that if I took action, I might be able to attack a passage, but I didn't expect the enemy's master to arrive so quickly. I just thought that if I could capture her. , I also broke the arm of the Dawn Dragon, but I didn’t expect that the other party was such a master. It was indeed my fault.”
Having said this, Shameen let out a long sigh, his eyes full of desolation.
Sobek also sighed. He also had to admit that if these things happened to him, even if it was based on his own shame, he would probably be hit hard.
But then, Shameen behind the screen suddenly raised his head, but in an instant, the gray and desolate atmosphere was swept away, and a high-spirited fighting spirit once again appeared in his eyebrows: "But, no matter what, After all, I am still alive and I have seen my own weaknesses. It is far from the end! Every day in the future, I will be stronger than I am today. This must be the case. Today's blood and failure are the things. It makes sense. I will apologize to the Marshal and I will be able to go into battle again after receiving the punishment I deserve."
...Well, he has also reached a balance with himself, but the way is different from what he thought.
Sobek couldn't help but admire the determination and resilience of his colleagues, and at the same time he was very envious. He was a descendant of a declining aristocracy born in a colony, but after he turned fifteen, he really couldn't use such shameful lines to encourage himself.
This is the star of hope for the great nobles. They have accumulated abundant happiness and security since childhood, and can use it to balance their inner order when needed. But a struggling young man like me in a colonial town has too much to consider!
Soback was a little jealous, but he still reminded: "...Actually, you don't have to belittle yourself. King Soleyn's losses were much worse than yours. When it comes to being punished, he should be punished first."
"He is his. I am mine. His Highness has his responsibilities, and so do I."
This guy is indeed too majestic, so majestic that he almost glows, but he is also so majestic that Soback can't help but frown, feeling rather weird. He didn't know if he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, but it did feel unnatural.
At this moment, a huge screen was suspended in the center of the headquarters of the Imperial Army's newly built "No. 0" Fortress, which reflected the Seide Fortress, which was more than two standard astronomical units away from here.
As we all know, Fortress Zero is the largest space city among the construction plans in the Seide galaxy of the Galactic Empire. It is built entirely in accordance with the standards of Qingtian Castle. Therefore, even with the empire's financial and national strength and construction level, less than one-third of the construction was completed.
However, even so, a headquarters that can be used to command tens of millions of troops and its various supporting facilities, and a dormitory area that can accommodate senior officers and their secretaries, adjutants, guards and service teams have been completed.
Probably because the habitability of the fortress is much better than that of the battleship. In short, the marshal and the generals moved the entire army headquarters to the fortress, and also moved their residences there - the Galaxy Empire is still a society that pays great attention to superiority and inferiority, and of course there are commanders who love their soldiers as their sons. , but most generals who were born into traditional nobles still pay great attention to pomp and quality of life, and ordinary soldiers would hardly have any objections.
The general's duty is to lead his officers and soldiers to victory and bring them honor and benefit, rather than to aspire to a high moral position. Regardless of whether this is correct or not, this has been the style of the Galactic Empire for many years.
Now, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, Marshal Ikenroga, and the two deputy commanders, General Rosanaio and General Misaro, were observing the missing cylinder while talking.
"Did Viscount Shameen fail again? Hey, what can we do? After all, it's the Dragon of Dawn. Even Duke Xia Ming's 'alien transformation' plan failed, let alone a young Four Heavenly Kings?" Iken Marshal Luo Jia said with emotion.
"Actually, there is no such title. It's all rumors spread by the outside world." The top master of the Imperial Army at the scene, Admiral Misaro, who holds the title of Knight Commander in the Astral Knights, took a long breath and wiped off the smooth There was no sweat on his forehead, and he said worriedly: "I just hope that this young man with unlimited potential will not be hit too hard and affect his future development."
"Although I don't know anything about psykers, I also know that he is a young man with an unbreakable will. I can see it from his eyes. When it comes to Ali, he will only temper himself harder." Luo Admiral Sanaio said.
"This is one of the reasons why I'm worried." Admiral Misaro said: "If you are too demanding about spiritual practice, you will easily lead yourself into a ditch."
It won't work if you try hard, or if you force yourself to do it. What's the matter, you psykers are the only ones in the world who are hypocritical?
Of course, Marshal Ikanroga and Admiral Rosanaio could not say that, or even think so. As veterans who were almost 150 years old in total, they just smiled with understanding.
"I still need to go specifically to appease Viscount Shameen. The child's mission was only to test, and he was responsible for assisting the attack, and he did successfully complete his job." Marshal Ikenluojia still behaved like A truly loyal elder.
"So, what exactly are we testing?" Admiral Rosanaio asked.
"For this, let's see what His Royal Highness King Soleyn says. He should be returning soon."
As soon as he said this, someone sent an on-site report that "The Titan Ship Xiaolong has returned to the No. 4 slipway and is undergoing inspection" and "His Royal Highness King Soleyn is rushing to the headquarters."
The marshals and generals temporarily stopped talking and waited for the arrival of the youngest elected emperor in active service.
Ten minutes later, a tall, muscular, and energetic body appeared at the gate of the headquarters. It was probably because his body and pace looked so youthful, and it seemed that the average age at the scene had been lowered by several orders of magnitude.
"Marshal, sirs, I'm back." The young emperor-elect stood at attention and saluted everyone first.
His military rank is also that of general, but because of his seniority, he is ranked last in the command sequence at the scene. According to military law, he should indeed salute.
However, since he is a noble elected emperor, he can automatically be regarded as one of the future supreme candidates. According to the ceremonial and heraldic laws, he is absolutely qualified to receive salutes from a grand duke or an imperial marshal.
Obviously, the young King Xinsuo respects military law more and respects the veterans present. This made everyone very satisfied and allowed the Imperial Army's command structure to maintain a relatively positive atmosphere. This is very important.
After receiving the return gift, he also made sure that the marshal and the two seniors had lowered their hands before ending his military salute. From a purely polite point of view, this tall and young His Royal Highness the Chosen Emperor is qualified to be a professor of etiquette.
Only then did he take the entire bottle of Bingkuoluo sent by his subordinates, drank it cleanly, and let out a hearty laugh: "Wow, hahahaha, this junior has really suffered a lot! The attack failed. Thank you to the officers for supporting my willful behavior. However, although it was a failure, the attack was still meaningful. "Oh, please elaborate." The admiral said.
If it were anyone else, these words would have a bit of a yin and yang meaning. But everyone present knew that the general, who was as old-fashioned as an old judge, had this kind of temperament that told the truth. In addition, he originally served as the military judge-in-chief.
King Solain nodded and spoke in a longer voice: "We..."
"We?"
"Our Xiaolong-class Titan ships are amazingly powerful. With the new aiming mechanism, they can be arrayed to deal a major blow to the enemy in the fleet battle. However, it is still a bit reluctant to directly use artillery to demolish the fortress."
"Oh..." Admiral Rosanaio showed a casual expression, not covering up his disappointment at all.
King Thoraine spoke eloquently: "In addition, this does not mean that the Dawn Angel class should not be built. If I were to choose, I would still prefer the Dawn Angel class with faster speed and more balanced combat power. In fact, she It can completely replace the Four Seasons God Level, uh, Marshal, no offense intended.”
This has nothing to do with me, a frontline general. Admiral Rosanaio thought, but it is related to the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Palace... Well, after calculation, King Solain is indeed a new member of the Privy Council, and Marshal Ikenloga is indeed a member of the Grand Marshal's Palace. One of the leaders.
Sure enough, the old marshal listened with great interest to the feudal king's analysis of the active Titans, nodded and praised: "Your Highness, although you are young, you have a very comprehensive and admirable view of the problem. The adults of the Privy Council should be very knowledgeable. I am glad to receive your battleship evaluation plan. As for the Four Seasons God, it has only been in service for more than 20 years. Even the glorious Galaxy Empire has its shipbuilding capabilities."
"Also, our strategy of capturing the fortress first is not feasible." The Emperor Xuan added: "The shooting window period of the enemy's No. 7 and No. 8 Fortresses is too short. If we want to successfully land, we must first start Only by carving out more than ten passages on the outer wall of the fortress can we ensure the victory."
"Indeed, the main force has been mobilized, so why bother struggling with the minor fortresses? Just launch a full-scale attack towards the main fortress." Admiral Misaro said.
"Besides, it's unrealistic to try to attack the east and the west. My little trick this time was obviously seen through by General Yu Lian. Hahaha, I was so naive that I actually thought my little trick would work. "Speaking of this, a look of admiration flashed across King Soleyn's face. It didn't sound like he was talking about his enemy at all, but more like he was discussing the idol he admired.
"Of course, this is not surprising. After all, he is the Dragon of Dawn! Even Sister Bulin...and His Royal Highness King Suliuka actually look at him differently."
In fact, the one who looks at him with special eyes should be His Majesty Emperor Elisir. Why do you mention King Suliuka here? Admiral Misaro twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.
"If possible, I really want to capture him. Of course, this is so that I can learn the art of war and psychic powers under such a hero. I didn't think of giving him to His Majesty, and what King Suliuka wanted to ask for. It's good." King Solei quickly added.
You are clearly comparing King Suliuka to His Majesty the Emperor.
The few present here are all among the top fifty in the huge Imperial Army system. No matter how much they consider themselves to be pure soldiers, they will inevitably come into contact with the highest level of political rules.
Of course they understand that King Suo Leien has actually conveyed his attitude towards the election of the emperor - she, Queen Su, is the one who chooses the emperor, and of course King Bensuo is also the one who chooses the emperor, but he is a member of the "Su Wang Party" and cannot be discounted. .
Ikenluojia thought about it seriously and suddenly told you that the choice of the new emperor this time can indeed see the shadow of the game between King Suliuka and King Weirente, and it did end with the victory of the former.
Does this mean that His Majesty the Emperor has already made plans?
...His Majesty the Emperor is obviously still young and in his prime, yet he thinks about all these things here. It is really disrespectful! I am really starting to look more and more like a hypocritical bureaucrat. Although Marshal Ikenluojia couldn't help but remind himself like this, the conversation between Yu Lian and the emperor and the scene of the "bloody disaster" inevitably came to mind.
Of course, he personally could regard this statement as nonsense, but its impact on other soldiers has already been firmly produced.
Everyone's evaluation is correct. This "Dragon of Dawn" that emerged out of nowhere is indeed the most dangerous opponent the empire has encountered in this century... no, perhaps in 500 years. The level of danger and thorniness should exceed that of Victoria Lee.
However, Marshal Ikenloga looked at King Soleyn with a firm expression and sharp eyes, and at this young man who was full of youthful spirit but also mature and prudent, his mood calmed down.
He laughed: "Hahaha, I also hope that the spirit of the universe can show mercy and help you get what you want. So, Your Highness, what is your suggestion?"
"If you want to wait for a decisive change, you still have to wait for all the backup troops to arrive!" The young King Soleyn used impassioned words and said the most arrogant words: "We only gathered three times the force on the front line of the Sede system. This is far from enough for Yu Yu’s fleet, which must be gathered at least five times as planned.”
This time everyone didn't say "that's it", but nodded in approval.
The old marshal even directly praised: "Compared with unbridled imagination and the courage to advance without retreating, your status requires more self-knowledge and the patience to endure temporary anger. From you, I see To the future of the empire.”
Admiral Rosanaio began to report: "Duke Xia Ming will return to Seder Fortress next month and officially serve as the occult director of the Far Shore Cluster."
The so-called Duke of Xia Ming is the official title that Duchess Garibian has just received.
After the failure of the alien transformation plan, although she lost the opportunity to become the elected emperor, she still successfully became the new grand leader of the Astral Knights with everyone's continuous recommendation. At the same time, as usual, he was also conferred a hereditary title.
Of course, during war, the empire needs all nobles to fulfill their duties.
As a result, the grand leader of the Astral Knights, who had just received a title, was about to return to the Saide galaxy where she had struggled and lived. What an inspiring story this is!
