interstellar fairy tale

Chapter 60

Colonel Edgar got the news during a routine medical examination.

Although the medical certificate states that Colonel Edgar has recovered and can return to his battleship, as the attending physician, Rosa, a sexy medical officer with fiery red hair, still stubbornly demands that Colonel Edgar Follow-up visits must be made as directed by your doctor.

"My lord colonel, if you don't do as I say - I don't mind adding a few lines, or just a few words, to your medical certificate, you will have to stay away from your beloved ship, I You don't want that, and you don't want that either, do you?"

The smiling medical officer in a white robe confronted the Lieutenant Colonel with a livid face and a stiff body. In the end, the confrontation ended with the colonel reluctantly accepting Rosa's conditions.Lieutenant Rosa, the former medical officer of the Eighth Fleet, was merged into the Sixth Fleet along with the rest of the Third Fleet, Eighth Fleet, and Tenth Fleet under the order of Canon Military Fortress Commander Terry. A temporary mixed fleet, but these soldiers and officers who conduct daily training with the soldiers of the Sixth Fleet and jointly perform defensive patrol missions know well that after the previous tragic battle, the Tenth Fleet, the Eighth Fleet, The Third Fleet has long since existed in name only.Their former colleagues, superiors, and commanders have already died in the war. After experiencing soul-destroying battles and the grief of losing their best friends, the only thing that can support these soldiers on the battleship is the will and persistence of revenge and shame. .

Colonel Edgar left Rosa's consulting room, stepped onto the teleportation bridge, and met two soldiers whose legs were broken by the hull crack in the last battle and could only move around with prosthetic limbs. When the 25-year-old boy saw Colonel Edgar, he stood upright, raised his arm, and saluted the colonel as an orthodox Mars soldier.According to the law of Mars and the pensions for soldiers, they don't have to go on the battleship at all. However, after the treatment and the first day after the prosthesis was installed, the two young men applied to be included in the daily training of the fleet, and asked to Carry out patrol missions together.

"Yes, I am no longer a healthy person, but I am still a Mars soldier! I am proud to be able to step on the battleship again!"

"My best friend lost his life in that war, I just lost two legs, and I can still fly a one-man fighter jet!"

These two young men reminded Edgar of Hansen, Rhodes, and Apollo in the past.

I have to admit that Hansen knew him too well, alive, after the death of his comrades and best friends, he lived alone, the pain was almost suffocating.

Austin South has joined the Sixth Fleet as a petty officer.Unlike others, Austin has a formal appointment letter, which means that after the Third Fleet, he will officially become a soldier in the Sixth Fleet.His soldier's smart identification card has been branded with the Sixth Fleet, and he has become a member of the flagship non-commissioned officer under the command of Colonel Edgar.

"Master Colonel!"

Colonel Edgar walked down the transmission bridge, Austin and another fleet sergeant Zuo Jia were waiting outside the command hatch.

"what happened?"

Colonel Edgar tidied up his military uniform, and at the same time put the general cap on his head, which he had been holding in his hand just now.For some reason, once he thought of his best friend who died in battle, Edgar would feel that he, who had just been awarded military exploits, looked extremely ridiculous.

"The other fleet commanders have already arrived, and Commander Terry is waiting for you."

Colonel Edgar frowned, obviously not thinking this was good news.

In the command cabin, Commander Terry and the fleet commander, who arrived one step earlier than Colonel Edgar, were standing in front of the huge screen. In front of the console, the communicator nervously pressed the headset on one side, afraid of missing even the slightest sound.The arrival of Colonel Edgar did not make the atmosphere any more tense or relaxed. All the attention of these senior Mars officers was focused on the officer of the Golden Empire Space Fleet on the screen.

The face is completely different from that of the humans in the Muse galaxy, with long amber hair and eyes of the same color, noble temperament, and incredibly handsome.

Compared to other Mars officers, Colonel Edgar, who was shocked by Harlan Edrich's handsome face, completely regarded this man who could be described as beautiful as a devil.

Now, the devil rolled his amber eyes, and finally set his gaze on Colonel Edgar who was standing behind the crowd. His light-colored lips slowly curled into an arc that could be traced in a few steps. After that, He said, "I think it's time to start."

Just when everyone in the command cabin was at a loss, they couldn't figure out what the Golden Empire officer's plan was.The faces of Shang Ping and Lochte suddenly appeared on the screen!

A burst of exclamation sounded, even though these Mars soldiers had experienced many battles and were calm and wise, they still inevitably widened their eyes at the weird scene in front of them.

Colonel Edgar was equally excited, he clenched his fists, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and he bit his lips tightly in order to restrain himself so as not to lose his composure.

After losing Hansen and learning that the single-man fighter that Shang Ping was driving was missing on the battlefield, Colonel Edgar once made the worst plan. Edgar in the ward, the blond boy, told Edgar in an extremely firm tone: "Shang Ping is alive, he must be alive!"

At that moment, Edgar almost believed Austin's words!

Now, he felt absurd and ashamed that he had ever doubted this!

The black-haired boy in front of him is Shangyu's son!It's the baby Edgar raised and educated for 15 years!How could he lose his life so easily? !

The ecstasy and anxiety involved Colonel Edgar's emotions at the same time, so that Edgar's facial expression showed a strange and unnatural state, but this did not affect Shang Ping on the screen and laughed and called out "Ah!" Uncle Degas." After Edgar heard this voice and began to regain his composure, the black-haired boy said something incomprehensible: "Uncle Edgar, I can't go back for the time being, the distance between us is like Royce is as far away as the Muse galaxy. My only hope now, please take good care of my Huaxia No. [-]. Of course, I believe you can take good care of it! As for my safety, you don’t have to worry about it at all , at least I am still alive, and my life will not be in danger in the short term. The commander of the space fleet of the Golden Empire is very reasonable, although he is not very friendly... Oh, sorry, I should not be here. My people made slander. Also, Austin, don't worry about me, I still remember my promise to you. Well, that's all, Lochte, do you have anything to say?..."

Edgar was no longer interested in listening to what Lochte would say. His eyes were fixed on Shang Ping on the screen for a moment, and the black-haired boy smiled without any sense of tension. The frustration and anxiety of the military prisoners made Edgar let go of his worries slightly, and began to recall the message conveyed by Shang Ping's words just now.

far away?Royce?Huaxia No. [-]?

Edgar recalled the toy Shang Ping made himself when he was ten years old. It used the principle of magnets to design the fixed cannonballs with an autonomous attack program, and was wrapped with a specific magnet on the outside. Within a certain range, There is no need for human operation at all, and it can hit the target and strike the enemy to the maximum extent.

The premise is that the target being hit by an enemy warship must contain some kind of element that can attract magnets...

Is it? !

Colonel Edgar took a deep breath, and then looked at Shang Ping on the screen, trying to find even the slightest bit of information from the black-haired boy, but the signal on the screen was suddenly cut off, and the call stopped abruptly.

damn it!

Colonel Edgar angrily cursed the Golden Empire fleet where the baby was imprisoned!Regardless of the presence of the commanders who had gathered together, they began to speculate whether this communication was another trap set by the enemy, and called Austin and Zuo Jia. He has more important things to do now, immediately, immediately!

Shang Ping and Lochte, who had fulfilled their wish, were sent back to the cell where they were held before. Lochte was still worried about Shang Ping’s failure to request to return to the Kanon military fortress, even though he understood how unreasonable the idea was. In fact, even if Soran Edrich would be kind enough to give the two of them a frigate, or a transport ship, without the help of artillery fire, or the familiar route and transporting particles, they would return safely to Canon Military The chances of a stronghold are almost zero.

However, the beautiful, illusory, but seemingly within reach of things are right in front of you, but you don't even have the chance to reach out, which makes Lochte unable to let go of it for a long time.He even thought that even if there was an accident on the way back to the fortress, it would be a hundred times better than being imprisoned in the cell of the enemy fleet.

"...I still want to drive more, or should I say be more peaceful?"

Shang Ping sat with his back against the wall, some of his long nails scraped against the hard wall, and with harsh sounds, Lochte finally could no longer focus on complaining about himself and Shang Ping.

"Shang Ping, at least let me have a little time to mourn the decades of life that I may have left my hometown."

"Decades?"

Shang Ping suddenly smiled, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and they curved into two curved arcs with mysterious charm, "Perhaps, it won't take that long..."

Looking at the smile that Shang Ping had never shown in front of him, Lochte felt his heart skip a beat, blushed and turned his head to the side, and decided not to talk to this black-haired boy in the next few hours, Don't even look at him!

In the central command cabin of the celestial body, Solan Edrich propped his forehead with one hand, and tapped his knees with his slender white fingers. He had seen the entire communication between Shangping and the Canon military fortress just now, so he made this request in Shangping At that time, Soran Aldrich thought that perhaps this clever boy would use this opportunity to do something interesting.Looking at it now, although it is impossible to guess what kind of message is hidden in Shang Ping's words, Soran Edrich obviously has some kind of not-so-good interest, at least for Shang Ping, it is really a Not wonderful.
