It was precisely because it was so easy to reach the enemy's capital that Giulio felt like he was "still unfinished". To put it in layman's terms, the enemy fell before he even exerted any effort.
However, based on scanning, he already knew that in this small country covering dozens of planets, there are still a considerable number of ships. Those are not necessarily all warships, but they should account for a certain proportion. The enemy's The number of fleets is actually much larger than Wang Ting estimated.
But it was just "more". The warships he saw were not even as good as the most common warships of the Human Empire, such as the Moon class.
He did not know that he was actually facing the Hero-class cruiser originally designed by the Tau to compete with the Moon-class. This is also the most common main battleship of the Tau. Although its early and mid-term The models are not truly comparable to the Empire's Moon-class ships, but the subsequent improved models are already close to the Moon-class strength. However, because Ke'shan is in a relatively remote area, most of its Hero-class ships are old ships of early models. It would be so vulnerable.
I don’t know why, looking at the wreckage of those broken Hero-class cruisers, a poem widely circulated in the ancient Ada navy suddenly appeared in Gioulio’s mind:
I am the sword that pierces the starry sky,
I am the flame that illuminates the darkness,
We take the lead bravely,
The flowers of death are our destination.
My beloved,
Please don't cry for me,
Among the stars,
Flowers will bloom for you,
Those floating wrecks,
are my eternity tombstone.
Lift your head,
The starlight is my gentle gaze,
I will still accompany you,
until the end of time...
Suddenly, Feeling inspired by poetry, he took out a roll of flexible spiritual bone paper from the tray held by the spindle machine beside him, and wrote this beautiful and cruel poem with only his fingers.
Giulio has been fond of poetry since he was a child, so he was nicknamed "Poetry Star".
After seeing this, the adjutants and prophets on the side clapped their hands and praised:
"The tomb of the void, good poems, handsome stars, so elegant."
The meaning is still unfinished. Giulio put down the scroll he had written and picked up another, ready to improvise.
But a voice disturbed his elegance.
"General."
The voice of the technician in charge of the communication facilities rang in his ears.
"The enemy has sent a communication request. The other party wants to talk to you directly. Do you need to help you connect the channel?"
"The other party's identity?"
Ji Urio put down the scroll angrily.
"It calls itself the Messenger of Peace."
"The Messenger of Peace?"
Giolio was startled, then laughed, and the other Adas around him also let out suppressed chuckles. laughter. After a while, he shook his head and said:
"These inferior blue-skinned monsters also know the word peace? I think they are afraid."
< br>
"Xingshuai, do you need to refuse?"
After thinking for a while, Giulio said:
"No, I'm a little curious instead, let's get through."
Soon, a golden ball flew over silently, and with a flash of light, a holographic figure appeared in front of Giulio, who was holding the command staff again.
This is the first time that Giulio has seen a living Tau. Before, someone suggested salvaging a few corpses and he rejected them, thinking it was a waste of time. Now he feels lucky for his certainty, Because this is indeed a waste of time. Even according to his lowest aesthetic standards, the Tau are too ugly, or ugly. To put it bluntly, they are 10,000 times uglier than humans.
Even the prophet on the side turned his head and whispered softly:
"Dirty our eyes."
Giolio also regretted it, but if he lost his grace at this time and It would damage the majesty of the royal court, so he could only endure the discomfort and look at the Tau man in the image
It was wearing a blue robe, its skin was a dirty blue-gray, there was almost no hair, only a brain A lock of hair was tied behind her back, her eyes were bulging, and her lips were almost invisible. And the most important thing was that she had no nose. Instead, there was a Y-shaped gap that extended to her forehead, which was quite inelegant and embarrassing.
And he couldn't tell the gender of the other party at all, because according to the information provided by the royal court before the war, titanium did reproduce in both sexes, so this easily involved the issue of address.
But now that it's like this, he doesn't need to think about it.
"Hello, Fleet Commander of Ada, I am Yana'O'K'Shan'Shou' Lanier, a mid-level diplomat of the Water Caste."
When this When Ti opened her mouth, her voice sounded, full of confidence, and was translated into Ada with the help of simultaneous translation equipment, although it was a bit jerky.
"I have been authorized by the Elemental Council to conduct settlement negotiations with you."
But Giulio did not answer, but looked at the other party with interest, as if Watching some kind of animal show.
"The losses our respective troops have suffered in this conflict are meaningless!"
Yana continued, even extending her open hands to the battleship:
"I I have been studying the ancient Ada culture. I think you are an elegant and orderly race. We can resolve misunderstandings through negotiation and communication. For the benefit of both our factions, I urge you to stop this aggressive behavior. "< br>
It is very difficult to read the expressions of the Tau, because most of their expressions consist in the precise stretching of the gaps between the mouth and nostrils. Giulio tried hard to tell whether the other person was conscious or not, because it was really It's not like what a diplomat could say. It's too childish, too naive. How can we talk and communicate when everyone is at war with each other? What's in its mind?
"If you are willing to stop the violence, I will work hard to mediate a peace agreement, and Ether will personally negotiate with you"
But her next words were interrupted by Giulio's raised hand, and then the star handsome patiently said the first sentence.
"If the two eyes on your face can be used normally, then please open your eyes wider and see the current situation clearly. I only need to give an order and it only takes you a blink of an eye. It can turn your little planet into dust in space, just like your toy fleet. You have failed. The losers are not qualified to negotiate. You can only do one thing and surrender. No, beg for surrender and pray. The benevolent Eternal Queen and the great Phoenix King will let you live, but before that, you must disarm all your weapons and let your leader kneel before His Majesty and His Highness to gain this qualification."
Yana's eyes widened, her nose tightened, and then she said calmly:
"You just defeated the defense fleet here with a disgraceful raid, and soon the fleets from the surrounding colonial worlds will catch up. Come, you will pay heavy casualties. This is unnecessary. We don’t understand each other and there is no conflict of interest. Why do you need to fight like this? "
"Me?"
Giulio laughed and covered his forehead helplessly.
