interstellar fairy tale

Chapter 82

The city hall is not as well-defended as imagined. At least compared to the headquarters of the Mars Space Fleet stationed by Admiral Hodder, most of the government officials in civilian clothes in the city hall will not let the air smell of gunpowder smoke.

Although Shang Ping and Lochte were accused by Principal Gus, they were still soldiers of the Mars Space Fleet before they passed the review.

"Then, please wait a moment."

Adjutant Joe took the two of them to the reception room next to David South's office. Obviously, both the commander-in-chief of the Mars Space Fleet and his adjutant had a good impression of these two young men who had outstanding performance on the battlefield. There is a kind of closeness and affection, even if they were captured, but this does not negate their excellent performance in battle.

The Mars respect soldiers. On this point, Commander-in-Chief David South and Admiral Howard have rarely maintained the same.

The furnishings in the reception room are a bit lacklustre, not as luxurious as imagined. There is a large sofa, a coffee table made of transparent synthetic metal, and the four corners of the room are green plants that are very common in Mars. The color of the floor and walls is very monotonous, occupying half of the wall. The windows, the Mars flag, the military flag, and the busts of the commanders-in-chief of the Mars Space Fleet hung on the two walls.Shang Ping looked at them one by one with great interest, and thought with some evil taste, could it be that the Mars Space Fleet has a lot of requirements on appearance in addition to consideration of military achievements and family background in the appointment of the commander-in-chief?

Shang Ping can't be blamed for having such a strange idea, because the great soldiers in military uniforms in the portraits all have handsome faces, but it is very obvious that David South is still the best among them.

Lochte is still restless, the waiting time is always difficult.Shang Ping was a little bored.From the former Admiral Hodder to the current Commander David South, the words and deeds of these big figures are not something a small man like him can figure out, but they also gave Shang Ping a signal that this review is not as good as What Uncle Edgar imagined was not even as serious as he had imagined.

Shang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked out from the window of the reception room. His vision was filled with densely black buildings, which was not a beautiful sight.Looking further into the distance, in front of the city hall is a group of soldiers in black military uniforms, with laser guns on their shoulders. Compared with those used in battle, the handles of the guns have more patterns with Mars characteristics.

Flashy?Shang Ping doesn't think so.

Withdrawing his gaze, brushing the corners of his lips with his fingers, he sat back on the sofa again, feeling that time was slowing down and the room was empty.

David South didn't make these two young people wait any longer. Wearing a marshal uniform, blond hair and dark green eyes were the symbols of the South family. Perhaps it was these two familiar colors that made Shang Ping After standing at attention and saluting, one cannot be overly alert to the powerful person in front of him.

"Please sit down."

David South sat down and relieved the tension of the two young people with a very realistic gesture.

Yes, no need to be nervous.

"As a person, I do not agree to use the method of review to accuse the soldiers of the Mars Space Fleet in a disguised form without any clear evidence!"

David South's words were resounding, completely unlike the tone that a long-term superior should have. He was too straightforward and expressed his attitude prematurely, which made Shang Ping a little at a loss.

This is the case with Admiral Hodder, and so is Commander-in-Chief David South. Since everyone disagrees with this review method, how should he and Lochte be explained to the order to recall him and Lochte from the Canon military fortress to the capital?

Shang Ping did not believe that without the military's permission, Mars Chief Executive Officer Martin would sign the order.

"But, sir, I don't understand."

Shang Ping didn't ask any questions, but simply expressed his doubts clearly.Lochte didn't know what to say at all.

David South put one hand on the armrest of the sofa, his slender fingers gently stroking the patterns on the armrest.Said to Shang Ping: "I don't understand, it doesn't matter, you just need to know what you should do."

"As a soldier of Mars, he is loyal, brave, and abandons hypocrisy and cowardice in the black sea of ​​the universe. This is the definition given to a Mars soldier by Madoff Whitewhite. Every Mars boy must keep this sentence in mind."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Shang Ping didn't have any hesitation, and he was not allowed to have any hesitation. Maybe he still didn't understand what these superiors were thinking, but he knew what he should do.

David South didn't stay for too long, but left each of Shang Ping and Lochte a small metal communicator before the conversation ended.Their own communication devices are not allowed to be used until the review is over.

Shang Ping fiddled with the communicator in his hand, and just after turning it on, he received a message that stunned him.rub your eyes.I suspect that something is wrong with my eyes.

The wife of the commander-in-chief of the space fleet invited himself to dinner? !

After David South walked out of the reception room, he sighed helplessly. For Diana's request, he had already done what he could, and hoped that the child would not be too surprised when he received the invitation.

golden empire

As the symbol of the supreme power of the Golden Empire, the Ivan Summer Palace has always spared no effort to leave traces of their reign in every corner of the palace.This caused the layout and style of the entire palace to always have some indescribable sense of dissonance over decades or hundreds of years.The harmony of solemnity and romance may not be called wonderful, but it is enough to show dazzling luxury.

However, at this moment, the owner of the palace, Heiny III, was sick. The court physicians could not find the reason for the emperor's serious illness at all, and maybe they didn't want to find it either.The change of imperial power in the past dynasties always has the taste of blood and conspiracy.What's more, Heine III has long been unpopular. Whether it is the imperial army or the royal nobles, the tolerance for Heine III's repeated stupid behaviors has already reached a critical point. Queen Yilan skillfully pushed this dissatisfaction upwards. Sheng, Princess Eve can only face De Lan who has just been certified all day long?Aldrich lamented, and her brother, Ser Cotter, was already in dire straits.From the day Heine III was placed under house arrest in disguise, the brother and sister seemed to have been strangled by bad luck.

Queen Yilan's strong family background and years of painstaking efforts in the royal family and nobles made Soran Edrich, who had a large army in his hands, gain overwhelming support in this unfair battle for the throne.

The first prince favored by the God of War, whenever he appears in front of the public, will cause fanatical cheers. He is gorgeous, commanding, brave and good at fighting. This prince seems to have received all the blessings of the gods of the Golden Empire. He is dressed in The traditional white military uniform of the Golden Empire, embellished with silver and blue patterns.Complementing his long silver hair and ice blue eyes, no one doubts that this silver-haired prince will replace the reckless prince after this banquet called to celebrate the new commemoration of Heine III's reign. The stupid man sits on the emperor's throne, yes, it won't be long.

Soran Aldrich picked up the wine glass, looked at the dark red liquid in the glass with ice blue eyes, surrounded by military and political dignitaries, but no one could guess what he was thinking at the moment.
