Chapter 3 Chapter Two Betrayal and Escape

"Bi Xia, something seems wrong with you recently." In the dimly lit club bar, a lieutenant colonel officer came over with a glass of red wine in his hand, and patted Feidi who was drinking by himself in the corner alone. Major General Yass, the latter was pouring wine back and forth between two glasses boredly, watching the snow-white foam of beer burst one by one. "Just kidding! Is there something wrong with me?" Phidias looked at the familiar Lieutenant Colonel Maglin Shebiv, shaking the wine in his glass slightly tiredly, and at the same time pulled him to sit down and chat with each other.

"You didn't have a beautiful woman around you for a few days in a row-is this normal?" Shebiv leaned on the bar counter, shaking his glass and making fun of it.Shebif graduated from the Disraeli Military Academy a few years later than Phidias, and is now serving in the Air Force and Marine Corps. He is quite talented in the military and was promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel at a young age. Perhaps it was because he had known him in school, and he had never been restrained by this senior and superior. At this moment, he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and making fun of him: "Isn't it true that you are going to change your mind? I heard that you will have a relationship with him next month." General Moore's daughter is married, so she is well-matched—it's a pity that the young lady is said to be mediocre, and our Bi Xia will suffer a lot!"

His companions had always been envious and jealous of Phidias' constant affairs, and now that his happy single life was coming to an end, every brother wanted to ridicule him. Major General Phidias gave a wry smile, and drank the beer in his glass—— "Damn, if these guys know that Daisy is going to break off the engagement with me, I don't know how they will gloat!" He thought dully, feeling that his heart was boring and mixed.This time Daisy suddenly proposed to renege on the marriage, although Fang was sternly refuted by the old general Oleto as soon as Fang said it, she was always afraid of her father and dared not say anything, so she silently compromised.But for him who has always been pretentious and proud, this kind of thing is undoubtedly an unforgivable insult.

Strange, what could make this introverted and timid girl want to regret her marriage?Is it really because his deeds outside have reached her ears? ——Her resolute expression that night was simply not like what she could have had when she was always weak and independent! There must be a problem—should someone be sent to investigate Daisy's recent situation? "Bishha, have you heard a strange rumor recently?" Seeing that he was silent, Lieutenant Colonel Shebif suddenly whispered in his ear, "Do you remember that Adams Clement who graduated from the Department of Philosophy of Imperial University?" ?”

"Oh... isn't that the executive officer who is responsible for the distribution of the empire's supplies?" As soon as he talked about politics and military affairs, Phidias' mind became extraordinarily clear. He remembered listening to the imperial secretary Ellie a few days ago Thea Manson mentioned this name, "A rather young guy, maybe only 35 years old this year? I heard he is very good at managing the economy. What's the matter?" "Do you know that he has been promoted twice in a row in the past three months?" Lieutenant Colonel Shebif emphasized his tone, put down his glass and said to Phidias with serious eyes, "Now this 30-year-old guy is already a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The deputy chief—equivalent to the rank of major general!" He leaned over and whispered in Phidias' ear: "Everyone guesses that your uncle, Marshal Phidias, has changed his mind and wants to focus on training him. As the future head of the empire!"

Phidias was stunned—— "Be careful with some things, proud successor of the empire!" Alicia's words suddenly rang in his ears. Could it be... is it true?At that moment, it was as if a cold electricity struck down his spine, making his drunkenness disappear instantly. "Bixia, if the Marshal wants to abolish your status as the successor of the empire, you can't accept it like Marshal Disraeli did back then!" Lieutenant Colonel Shebif said in a single word, "Those old guys are making us These fighters who are desperately working on the front line are fools! Do you think that you can find any pedant who doesn't even know how to hold a gun, so that we can make us bow our heads?"

"Uncle should not be like this." Phidias couldn't help saying, remembering the strict teaching and ardent expectations given to him by the marshal since he was a child. "It's best not to be like this—but what if it's true?" Lieutenant Colonel Shebif looked at the major general of the Empire who was only a few years older than himself seriously, "Bi Xia, will you sit and wait for death? We people I have passed my anger in private - if Marshal Phidias really wants to let a guy who can't even hold a gun be the head of state, we will support you at all costs!"

Major General Phidias certainly understood what "whatever it takes" meant.He immediately put aside the personal matter that he was worried about just now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ma Gelin, go and greet the other five brothers for me. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I will treat you tonight. Everyone have a good get-together!" At night, in the garden where Phidias and Daisy had walked a few days ago, there was a secret rendezvous. "Jay, I have already asked my father not to agree to the marriage, but, but he will not agree no matter what! If I say such a thing again, he will really whip me with a horsewhip!" A young girl's voice sounded feebly In the cold wind at night.

"Then, Daisy, do we really want to separate? Are you really going to marry that playboy?" A young man's voice in the darkness said excitedly, and he grabbed the girl, "Tell me, do you really want to marry me?" What? If you say you would...then I have nothing more to say." "No... I don't want to marry Bixia!" Daisy's voice suddenly increased, "He looks down on me completely, right? I swear with my blood: If I want to marry a certain person, that person must It's just you - Jay Kendall!" "Then, Daisy, let's escape!" The man in the dark encouraged the restless girl, "We will definitely not be able to live in the empire. We can only be together if we escape to a place where the Phidias family cannot reach." ...Let's run away together!"

"But... what about Father?" Daisy hesitated, her voice trembling, "I, I betrayed the empire and everyone! He won't let me go!" "Has your father treated you well? Haven't you been beaten by him since childhood?" the man in the dark said softly, holding her in his arms, persuading her in a low voice, "Daisy, in this world, the real I'm the only one who treats you well... won't you come with me? Do you want to stay alone in Koppel without me?" Daisy trembled in bewilderment, and finally lowered her head and cried.Indeed, Jay was the only one who was really good to her since she was a child, except for Granny Rina, the family helper—and he was the only one who loved a humble girl like her!

"Jay...Okay, okay!" She choked up and hugged the man in the dark, nodding vigorously, "Let's run away together! We will be together wherever we go...I, I don't want to be alone..." The man in the dark smiled softly, and said more gently: "Then, the sooner the better - we will leave on the evening of the 5th of next month. In order not to attract attention, we will split up and go to Coulter Aviation Port first Rendezvous, where I have prepared a small space shuttle, and from there we will transfer to the neutral planet Kermit and go to Primos, the capital of the Galactic Federation." Daisy listened carefully, looked at Jay trustingly, and kept nodding her head—for every girl, her ideal person is an indomitable hero who can be entrusted with life and death.Immersed in the horror and ecstasy of elopement, the girl never thought about why the other party had such thorough preparations early in the morning.It was only when she heard the last sentence that she asked in surprise: "Jay, why do you want to go to Primus? You can just go to Kermit? Do you have to go so far to the Galactic Federation?" "Little fool!" The man in the dark smiled and nodded her nose, "Do you think that a neutral planet will protect the two of us? Only when we reach the Galactic Federation, which is incompatible with the Empire, will we be safe—if it is not for the Solar Federation It's too far away, I still want to take you there!" "I don't want to go to the Solar Federation!" Daisy shook her head and said in horror, "My father participated in the war that destroyed the solar system thirty years ago, if I go there, the remnants of the solar system will definitely not let me go! " "Okay, okay...we'll just go to Primus, okay?" Jay seemed afraid that she would change her mind, and immediately coaxed, "Sunday in six days' time, remember to go to Kurt Airlines Rendezvous at the port! If I can't wait for you there, I'll stand there until I'm fossilized." Although such sweet words are a bit nasty, but to this girl who lacked love since she was a child, it simply made her unrepentant—"Jay...Jay, why do you love me?" She murmured Talking to myself, dazzled, "You know, I'm neither beautiful nor smart. Why do you love me?" Neither of the two lovers who are making vows to eachother realize that there is another shadow of a stalker in the darkness. "This battle was fought extremely beautifully, Your Excellency Phidias!" Looking at the situation on the holographic screen showing the fierce battle in space to the final battlefield, even Colonel Kent, who was watching the battle, couldn't help admiring. The empire's fleet is like catching a turtle in a urn, destroying the space aircraft carriers of the Galactic Federation and encircling them one after another. In the first battle just now, Rear Admiral Bisha von Phidias first commanded the fleet under his command to set up a longer front. Sure enough, the commander of the Galactic Federation immediately chose the tactic of central breakthrough, concentrating a large number of troops together , heading straight for Phidias' flagship "Empire Star" in the middle of the battle line. Because the front line is too long, the troops in the middle cannot stop the opponent's concentrated attack at all.Just as cold sweat was breaking out on Colonel Kent's forehead, Major General Phidias smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows slightly.Colonel Kent's heart dropped to the ground - you know, this is the signature expression of this military genius who has kept winning at the Disraeli Military Academy.As long as he raises his eyebrows, it proves that he has made up his mind. "Don't block the enemy! Resist for a while and let their aircraft carrier move forward!" The major general's calm voice spread through the laser circuit of the imperial fleet like lightning, and order after order was issued, "The escort fleet should not confront them head-on Firefight, retreat! The center of the battle line is concave!" "Your Excellency Phidias!" Colonel Kent couldn't bear it any longer, and stopped him, "The opponent's offensive is fierce. If our army retreats at this moment, it will be easy for us to take advantage of the momentum and penetrate the middle of the front line!" Although the opponent is a superior, but with decades of combat experience, he still put forward his own different opinions.Major General Phidias glanced at the adjutant, but he was noncommittal, and then turned to focus on the situation on the battlefield.After a while, he turned around and gave a decisive order to the retreating army in the middle: "Now, the fleet in the middle should stop retreating and counterattack with all its strength! The two wings quickly outflanked and formed an enclosure within 40 seconds! Activate all equipment and annihilate the enemy on the spot!" In an instant, the situation was reversed!Colonel Kent only saw the imperial army encircling from all directions, tightly besieging thousands of space carriers of the Galactic Federation, and began to attack at all costs.The Galactic Federation army, which had been rushing forward smoothly, was caught off guard for a while by the sudden turn of the situation. The various fleets caught in the encirclement rushed out, and immediately exchanged fire with the nearby Imperial fleet. "A bunch of useless guys!" Major General Phidias looked at the headless Galactic Federation army on the screen, and sneered, "Having messed up so quickly? If Hein was there, the situation would be very different gone." Indeed, since the empire's fleet has elongated the front line, the thickness of the encirclement must be limited—if the federal army sticks to the original policy and concentrates its superior forces to break through in the direction of the enemy's flagship, it is not impossible to seize the imperial fleet's front line encirclement. Break out of the encirclement before closing.In this way, it will not only highlight the encirclement, but also launch anti-encirclement and suppression on the enemy's periphery. It's a pity that when the imperial fleets on both wings quickly outflanked, the commander-in-chief of the Galactic Federation was a little slower to react; When they caught fire, they completely forgot to concentrate their efforts to break through in the same direction. When the strength of the two sides is basically equal, the well-trained and well-equipped imperial army will prevail-not to mention that the fleet of the military empire now completely controls the control of the battlefield.So in the final fight that followed, the Imperial Fleet was basically fighting against the Federal Fleet. "No wonder your Excellency studied at the Disraeli Military Academy for five years, and has always maintained a record of complete victory." Colonel Kent is not a flatterer. A member of the S family." Although he has only been with this young imperial major general for three years, he has already witnessed countless brilliant battles commanded by this military genius.Because of this, he does not have prejudice against the young and powerful major general like other senior soldiers. However, Major General Bisha von Phidias walked out of the command room of the flagship, leaned on the railing in the decompression chamber, and watched the war in the final stage condescendingly, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, as if It's the shepherd counting the lambs. After walking out of the adjutant's sight, Phidias lightly turned on the miniature long-range laser communicator on his wrist, stuffed the rice-grain-sized receiver into his ear, and skillfully pressed a secret number.Wireless messages traveled through the dark universe, leading to another part of the galaxy. "Bi Xia?" A low voice came from the earphones, it was Major Shebiff. "Hmm." Major General Phidias maintained a posture overlooking the railing, and said softly to the communicator: "Maglin, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Koppel in the near future—the marshal has issued a series of orders to me. Combat orders, within a few months I will be non-stop fighting on various planets, there is no way to get out and come back." "Bicha, we must find a way to come back!" Shebiff's voice was anxious, "The Marshal has made Adams Clement the Secretary of State of the Empire—do you know what the position of Secretary of State means? They want to put you Get out, take the opportunity to consolidate that guy's position!" "Of course I know that." Major General Phidias smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows: "But if I come back from the front line without authorization, I might startle the enemy and be caught by them instead. Wait a moment. Well, when the time is right, I will naturally appear in Koppel." "Okay. Bixia, the brothers have given their blood and lives to you!" Shebif didn't ask any more questions, but just said something, and then cut off the communication.Major General Phidias was still leaning on the railing to look into the distance, but there was a sharp edge flashing in his eyes, and his fingers in white gloves were lightly clenched on the alloy railing. He knew that soon his uncle would privately inform him to go back to Koppel, for a matter that should not be interfered with by outsiders-it was already June 3rd.Soon, there will be a scandal in the family that cannot be publicized. It is inconvenient for anyone except him to intervene in this matter. "If it is blocking the way forward, even if it is the orbit of the stars, I will change it!" A voice sounded coldly in the major general's heart.Phidias turned his head and took off the communicator, leaning on the railing to look into the distance. The black universe outside the window is boundless, the galaxies are bright and crystal clear, and the planets are moving slowly according to their orbits. Daisy, Daisy, you silly girl, why don't you run away quickly? Did you know that you are moving history! "Bisha, hand over the army to Lieutenant Colonel Kent as an agent, and return to Koppel immediately!" On June 4, 37th year of the universe calendar, as expected by Major General Phidias, Marshal Edmund von Phidias Sure enough, a laser communication was urgently sent, and he was ordered to return. Although Major General Phidias knew what was going on in his heart, he still pretended to be puzzled on the surface: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I am preparing to go to the planet Shianti to fight. I have just deployed personnel, and now I am leaving the army to go back I'm afraid Coppel is inconvenient—what's the matter?" The Marshal of the Military Empire looked at the major general through the screen with complicated eyes, and pondered for a moment: "Bi Xia, there is very bad news—your fiancée, Daisy de Moore, has been missing for two days. We suspect that she is related to Someone eloped." Speaking of this, the marshal also had some puzzlement and doubts in his eyes, apparently he had no foresight about such a thing. Major General Phidias was shocked and did not speak. "According to the information we have, she may flee to the side of the Galactic Federation in exile—this is a defection!" The marshal's eyes were so severe that Major General Phidias was shocked, "As the three elders, Daughter, how can you defect to the government-in-exile! This is absolutely not allowed! Phidias, you must come back secretly to me immediately, and you must stop her before she leaves the country! This matter cannot be entrusted to outsiders, you must Do it yourself." "Yes, Marshal!" Major General Phidias immediately gave a military salute with a serious face. "Bixia, in order not to damage the reputation of the empire and the Phidias family, this matter cannot be publicized." The marshal tapped his fingers on the armrest of the swivel chair habitually, frowning, "You are her fiancé, this It is also an insult to you, she has damaged your honor as an imperial soldier! The guy who abducted Daisy to elope must be executed—as for whether you want to marry her, it depends on your personal wishes. I believe that General Moore There will be no objection this time." "Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Major General Phidias replied resolutely, nodding his head, "I guarantee that the reputation of the empire and the family will never be harmed!" He said it seriously, but he was secretly delighted in his heart—how could he solve all the problems with one stone? "Okay, that's it. Come back immediately and temporarily stop the movement of troops. I will issue you a secret military pass, and let all the military districts along the way give you the privilege of passing through at will." The marshal ended the conversation a little tiredly, and stood up from the swivel chair Got up, "I'm already very tired, I really can't control the absurd things of you young people... You hurry back to Koppel to deal with it!" "Yes!" Major General Phidias saluted again, but saw the Marshal turned his head away. "Marshal, Secretary of State Mr. Clement has been waiting for you outside the door for a long time!" There was a light knock on the door, and a woman's voice suddenly came from the background.Phidias recognized that it was Miss Alicia Manson, the Marshal's confidential secretary.On the screen, she knocked on the door, came in from the outside, and slowly approached the screen with a cup of coffee in her hand. "Tell him to come in." The marshal said while pressing the communication switch, "Bi Xia, goodbye." "Goodbye, Marshal." Major General Phidias raised his hand and saluted, watching the image on the screen disappear in an instant.Suddenly, something strange flashed in his emerald green eyes.Within 30 seconds after the image disappeared, he stood motionless in front of the screen, not moving for a long time - just before the image disappeared, he saw Alicia standing behind the marshal looking at him He nodded slightly, raised his right hand, and made a gesture of pulling the trigger behind the Marshal's head! What is she implying? ...Could it be, could it be that she meant—that she was already in danger, and she had to act as soon as possible? What kind of mind is this woman... Is she on my side? "Your Excellency Phidias, what are your orders for summoning your subordinates?" When he was still in shock, a familiar voice interrupted his contemplation.Major General Phidias turned his head and looked at a tall soldier behind him. "Gorden, you don't need to call me 'Your Excellency' when there is no one around!" He emphasized again, with a faint smile on his lips, "You dare to beat me to the head in order to grab beautiful ladies in the club Blood flow, why are you so restrained once you get to the battlefield?" "Hey," the tall soldier grabbed his hat and smiled awkwardly, "You are my commander in the army." The captain of the Eleventh Fleet, 25-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Holman is also a frequent visitor to the "Fedora" club. Like Phidias, he likes wine and beauty, but his temper is violent and stubborn.His acquaintance with Phidias was still in a bloody conflict for a woman. That time, in order to compete for the club's new beautiful waiter, the irascible Lieutenant Colonel Holman could no longer suppress his jealousy and dissatisfaction with this person since the military academy, and threw his white gloves to the imperial court in front of everyone. heir's face.Phidias was drinking a glass of red wine with the beauty in his arms. When the glove slipped into the wine glass, he stared at the destroyed Seventy Years Dry Red. The anger between his brows gradually gathered. He suddenly stood up, drew his gun and pointed at it. the other side.According to the secret rules of the army, both sides risked violating the imperial military regulations, and both ran to a duel in the dense forest on the outskirts. That duel ended with Phidias' complete victory in marksmanship, swordsmanship, and fighting. However, he has always had doubts about the astonishingly high score, thinking that it was caused by the school's excessive tolerance and preferential treatment of the marshal's nephew.But he never thought that this young man who looked like a nobleman actually possessed such a terrifying individual combat ability. The most beautiful waitress in the club took Major General Phidias's arm immediately after his victory, leaned her head towards it, and with a queen-like complacency on her face, she began to mock the defeat lying on the ground with sharp words. The injured——however, Phidias pushed her out of the car, watched the charming woman fall to the ground and screamed in pain, her face was cold and disdainful, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Shut up your smug face! Do you think I'm fighting over a bitch?" The major general turned to Gordon Holman, who was covering his arm, with a winner's smile on his lips: "Well, if you lose, you have to pay me for red wine - I want the kind produced by the century-old planet Crete! As for This woman is yours!" Lieutenant Colonel Holman was dumbfounded. Later, the two gradually became buddies, and Holman also joined the "Seven Swordsmen of the Galaxy" group.The Eleventh Fleet he is now leading is the ace army under Phidias' command. It appears and disappears on the battlefield, has made great military exploits for the empire, and has the title of "Satan Cavalry". "Bi Xia, I really don't understand why you are still standing safely in the flagship!" Lieutenant Colonel Holman's light brown skin was flushed with blood, and he clenched his fists. Is Carl almost covering the sky with one hand? Do you really want to follow that damn Carl and abdicate at a critical moment?" ——and only in the private conversations of these young and rebellious officers, the much admired Marshal Karl Disraeli in the military empire would be unceremoniously called "Damn Karl". "Lieutenant Colonel Holman!" When the soldier clenched his fists and said, Major General Bisha von Phidias suddenly stopped drinking. "Here!" Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Holman stood up and saluted the army reflexively. "Now, I order you to immediately lead the Eleventh Fleet to adopt the 'Four-Dimensional Space Marching Law', and return to Coppel immediately and secretly within 12 hours!" Rear Admiral Phidias issued this important order coldly, With unpredictable eyes, "Ma Gelin has already contacted other people in the capital, and you must assist him to control the military center of the empire in the shortest possible time!" "Yes, Major General!" Lieutenant Colonel Holman couldn't hide his excitement in his light gray eyes, he suddenly raised his hand in salute, but then asked calmly, "But, with such a small force, surprise Coppel and control the capital in a short time There is no problem with the situation, but in case the Fourth and Ninth Army Corps stationed nearby are alarmed..." "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will naturally find a way to block all external contacts of Koppel." Major General Phidias said indifferently, with ambitious brilliance in his eyes, "You just need to work with Maglin and the others according to the original plan. The plan to capture the Rembrandt Palace, just arrest all the old guys who hinder us!" "So... His Excellency the Marshal and General Kotav are also included?" Lieutenant Colonel Holman asked hesitantly. "Nonsense, of course! If you don't control the two of them, you can't control the situation of the empire at all!" Phidias said decisively, without the slightest hesitation, "Remember, if there is no way for them to be surrendered obediently, there is no way to control the empire." They can be forcibly arrested. In case of armed resistance, they can be executed on the spot if necessary! Remember, no matter what, they must not be allowed to escape from Koppel, otherwise the entire empire will fall into civil war!" Although he knew that it was a decision that had to be made, Lieutenant Colonel Holman was still a little shocked when he heard such a cruel order from the major general without hesitation. "Yes, Major General!" He accepted the order, then paused, and asked with some hesitation, "Then... General Oleto de Moore, what should we do?" He knew that General Moore, who had long since retired from politics, was the major general's future father-in-law, but also the life-and-death friend of the two people in power. "Then there is no need to ask? - If you don't obey my order, you will be executed together!" The voice was as cold as ice and snow. "Then..." Lieutenant Colonel Holman was a little chilled, "Where is Miss Daisy de Moore?" When he thought that the major general would spit out the third "execution" again, Phidias was unexpectedly silent for a moment, and didn't answer right away——after a long time, he let out a breath and turned around with his hands behind his back Going to look out the window, coldly: "This... I will deal with it, you don't have to ask." "Yes." Lieutenant Colonel Holman withdrew. He was alone in the cabin again. Major General Phidias slowly rested his head on the cold glass, staring at the dark and endless night sky outside the window for a moment, his eyes flashed with lightning-like sharp and complicated light . Only a day later, without anyone's knowledge, he returned to Koppel. Driving the most advanced X171 space shuttle in the army, suspended on the dedicated military track over Koppel, Major General Bisha von Phidias looked down at the two fleeing people on the ground, and spoke to his uncle through the communicator. A request was issued: "Report to the Marshal, I have found that Daisy and the man fled to the Coulter Aviation port! Request to block the port!" "Blocking the port?" Marshal Phidias was a little surprised—it was just to cover up a scandal, the more low-key the better, and this mobilization exceeded his original expectations. "They seem to have prepared their private spacecraft a long time ago, and they are about to take off at the port." Major General Phidias watched the two people on the ground run to the port hand in hand, and reported to his uncle in an anxious tone, "If If I launch an interception right away, everyone will know about it!" "Hmm... It would not be very good to block Kurt Harbor alone..." Marshal Phidias hesitated. "So, can you find a virtual excuse to temporarily block all the airports in Koppel?" Major General Phidias suggested respectfully, "It only takes a few hours to completely solve the problem." Marshal Phidias hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision - he never imagined that this ordinary decision would be the most regrettable thing in his life! The marshal said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will immediately issue an emergency blockade order in the name of the remnants of the solar system in the name of terrorists secretly sneaking in, and blockade all ports in Koppel for 12 hours - Bisha, within 12 hours, everything must be resolved ! I don't want to see the scandal expand further!" "Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Major General Phidias replied loudly.An unconcealable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth—fortunately, it wasn't a holographic text communication, otherwise, his inner thoughts must not escape the Marshal's sharp eyes, right? Enough, twelve hours!Everything seems to be going smoothly than expected. A few seconds later, Phidias saw the sound of sirens suddenly sounding in the brightly lit airport, and the troops stationed at the port received orders to clear the area and quickly blockade the port.At the same time, Phidias saw a thin white light flashing in the night sky in the northeast corner—it was the agreed signal to dispatch the army. "It's started!" He suppressed his excitement and cheered softly in his heart. After this night, when the sun rises tomorrow, this galaxy will change the world! "Passengers, the port has been blocked for one hour because of suspicion of people intending to leave the country illegally. Please cooperate to clear the place." The polite but cold voice of the correspondent echoed in the hall. They were evacuated from various entrances and exits to the square outside the port. In the military-ruled Galactic Empire, obedience is not only the bounden duty of soldiers, but has become the norm that all citizens must abide by.For government orders, there is no right to ask why.As the crowd gradually thinned out, only two travelers in silver-gray trench coats, who seemed to be dressed for a long trip, still hesitated in a corner of the hall. "Jay...what should we do? Can't we get on the space shuttle?" A petite passenger among the two asked the man next to him tremblingly, holding a pot of flowers and plants in his arms.Although the other party was also pale with fright, she still looked at him with trust. "It's over, it's over... They must have discovered it..." The voice of the tall man wearing sunglasses was also trembling, and the heavy suitcase in his hand fell to the ground at once, revealing the truth through the cracked gap. Large stacks of colorful paper—but it is the common currency in the galaxy, the largest denomination. "Jay? Jay?" Seeing that the other party had no claim, the female passenger was so nervous that she couldn't speak. She just wrung her hands subconsciously, hugged the flower pot tightly in her arms, and looked left and right. "My dear fiancée—did you think elopement would be so easy?" Suddenly, a cold voice resounded in the empty hall, which scared the two passengers back unexpectedly. "Brother Bixia!" The female passenger blurted out subconsciously, looking at the major general of the empire who appeared before her at some unknown time, with some shock and fear in her eyes, she took a step back subconsciously - the man in the silver and black military uniform seemed to descend from the sky, silently Without interest, he suddenly appeared in front of them. In the empty waiting room, the smooth marble floor reflected the moonlight penetrating through the glass ceiling, making it as bright as water.The young soldier stood in front of them, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyebrows raised slightly, and an unpredictable sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. "Major General Fei, Phidias?" The tall young passenger beside Daisy asked tremblingly, staring at the murderous imperial soldiers with flickering eyes, and stepped back, "You, you... are Daisy's fiancé?!" "Director Jay Kendall of the General Administration of Materials, it's too late for you to regret it now - on behalf of the government, I formally arrest you on charges of embezzling public funds and absconding!" Looking at the panicked "rival in love", Phadia Si sneered almost disdainfully, and waved his hand, "Take him down!" In an instant, the surrounding port guards immediately surrounded him. "Please open the suitcase in your hand immediately and cooperate with the inspection." Jay's face paled instantly, and he subconsciously reached into the inner pocket of the windbreaker. "Why did you frame Jay! Brother Bixia, you are too despicable!" Suddenly, Daisy, who had been trembling all the time, questioned the major general loudly, loosened her right hand from the flowerpot, and pointed at Phidias's face, and asked sharply, "He didn't do anything wrong to the country! I walked with him voluntarily, how can you frame him!" Looking at the desperate appearance of the fragile fiancée, a slight wry smile suddenly appeared in the blue eyes-what a fool...Which bee would pick a mediocre flower?She was so naive as to really think that the other party loved her like this. It was the first time for the excited girl to speak to him with such a tone and look, but she didn't realize that a gun with a cold light was already aimed at her secretly behind her—the impassioned words hadn't finished yet, and she was pointing directly at him. His right hand was suddenly grabbed! "Come here!" Phidias' voice sounded coldly, and she suddenly staggered into the opponent's arms, and was quickly pushed aside.Phidias rolled over while holding her, and quickly dodged behind the marble pillar.The opponent's laser gun pierced through the stone pillar, and a line of blood oozed from the major general's shoulder as the stone chips flew. As the rabbit rose and fell, Daisy was stunned, staring blankly at the blood on the shoulder of the soldier beside her, speechless—until the warm blood stained the side of her face that was close to his arms. At the same time, the gun in Phidias' right hand shone blindingly, knocking down the gun in Kendall's hand in an instant. “给我就地枪决！”在她还没有回过神的时候，就听见那个近在咫尺的声音下达了这个命令——斐迪亚斯一连两枪洞穿了情敌的左右手臂，解除了对方的武装，脸色已经冷如寒霜。 跑动声。乱枪声。杰伊临死的惨叫。 “不要！——不要啊！”红发的女旅客嘶声尖叫，脸被扭曲成了可怖的形状，深蓝的眼里充斥着恐惧和绝望，回过头，抓住他的肩膀用力摇晃，“杰伊，杰伊！！！！” 斐迪亚斯没有松开她，只是抬起手去捂住她的眼睛，冷然：“不要看，黛。” 然而，已经晚了。少女已经回过头去，看到了躺倒到地上的恋人。看见全身布满弹孔、面目全非的杰伊，她浑身忽然也仿佛没有了任何力量，惊呼停顿在咽喉里，只是回头盯了未婚夫一眼，颤抖地抬起手指着他，脸色煞白地往后仰倒。 一双手及时地把她扶住，斐迪亚斯在叹气。 平日强硬的人忽然变得从未见过的温和，搀扶着无力的少女，把她的头死死地按在自己的肩上，不让她再去看那一幕惨象。然后，又听见了有人汇报：“少将，在人犯身边的手提箱里搜出了大量的现金和一些A级的军事情报！罪名已经确认！” 斐迪亚斯点了点头：“很好，以贪污和叛国的名义处决了这个家伙——接下来，你们去善后吧。我有要紧的事要离开一下。” “是！”下属退下。 “比夏哥哥，你真卑鄙……你、你陷害我们！你陷害我们！”黛丝的精神再也支持不住，只是恨恨地看着这个青梅竹马的少将，竭力伸出手去打他，却被轻而易举的制服。一贯温顺文静的少女疯了一样的挣扎，用尽了一切言辞怒骂，逐渐陷入了崩溃性的昏迷中。 “好蠢的丫头……刚才差点就被劫持当了人质呢，”半抱半扶着昏过去的未婚妻，斐迪亚斯少将却没有丝毫火气，嘴角忍不住泛起一丝苦笑，摇头，“被人利用到这样的地步居然还毫不知情……智商究竟是多少啊？” 然而心里还是有一阵不是滋味，他看着她，叹了一口气。 ——接下来，要把这个丫头怎么办呢？很快、他就要清洗整个国家了。包括她的父亲、也会在他的清洗计划内。如果让她留下来，又该拿她怎么办呢？她总不可能一直这样昏迷，等到她醒过来，他又该拿她怎么办呢？ “接下来怎么办？斐迪亚斯？”耳脉里传来了同僚的低语，“按计划么？” 他神智蓦地一清，抬起头来：“是的，一切按计划！” 十天后，一个新的政权在军事帝国诞生了。 宇宙历37年6月20日，在少壮派军人的拥护下，年轻的比夏·冯·斐迪亚斯少将一举推翻了原来的军政领导人，以27岁的年纪坐上了这个庞大帝国的支配席上——采取了极端暴烈的手法，大批的军政要员被镇压下去了，包括新元帅自己的叔父和参谋长都遭到了监禁，连已经远离权利核心的摩尔老将军，都被软禁了起来。 然而，那个红发少女却消失在了帝国境内。 不知道出于何种原因，冷酷的少将却抬手放过了背叛他的未婚妻，下令军队不许阻止，一任她搭乘太空梭逃离了科培尔，流亡到对立的政权上去。
