Titania 2: The Storm 田中芳树 10843Words 2018-03-14
From November to December in the year 446 in the star calendar, the political circles of Baghsu fell into unprecedented difficulties and chaos, because they were about to face the crisis of an all-out war with Titania.Tracing back to this matter, the main reason is that Duke Zhelixu Titania ignored the sovereignty and rule of law of Baghee and forced the voters to carry out military activities;As a result, Baghsiah was forced to choose between the outbreak of a full-scale war with Titania and the emergency situation of seeking peace with all possible diplomacy. Such conditions are too harsh, but they are also related to the survival of the country.

The comrades of the "Righteous Old Man" who were in the barracks under the soft penalty zone of Admiral Tobil were talking about it. "If Zhelixu Titania was left alive at that time, would Baghugh have a chance?" "No, the result should be the same, maybe worse." If Fang Xiuli and his party captured Zhelixu alive and threatened Titania, Titania would not be able to agree to any request. Anyway, he would coerce the desperate Baghsiu government to return Zhelixu, otherwise Fang Xiuli would arrest and kill Fang Xiuli. Xiuli and his party, and the Titania branch will also use various means to save Zhelixu.

Most importantly, Fang Xiuli would have been strangled to death if Zhelixu hadn't been killed in the cave. "In short, things have happened, and it's too late to regret." Valenkov summed it up in one word. "What to do next is the question. What is Admiral Fang Xiuli's idea?" "Delay time first." Fang Xiuli crossed his legs leisurely, and answered without thinking. "If the Titanian army is coming, Baghee will have to bite the bullet and fight. If they want to increase their chances of winning, they won't be able to watch us get killed. Don't be too pessimistic."

Fang Xiuli's expression and tone are detached, but in fact it's not the case in his heart. He doesn't know whether his judgment is wrong. When he weighs every penny, the shadow of arrest or assassination may be approaching him and his comrades step by step. Knowing his heart clearly, he can only bet his own and others' fate on one possibility. "If Titania launches a large army to confront Baghew head-on, the commander-in-chief must be Duke Albert. It's a fluke, but I am the only one in the universe who has defeated Duke Albert, and Baghee The government also understands this, as long as it cannot coexist 100% peacefully with Titania, then Baghugh will not harm me."

After repeated calculations and checking of the formula in his mind, neither Fang Xiuli nor the Baghsiew government was 100% sure.Sometimes Fang Xiuli's insights are quite thorough. He understands that the senior officials of the Baghsiew government do not hope for peaceful coexistence, but they have no chance of winning in a war. failure, there is only a tendency to choose a more convenient method. No matter how you speculate, Fang Xiuli is currently under house arrest and unable to interview senior officials of the Baghsiew government. In this way, there is only one way to prevent people from being eroded by boredom and upset, and that is to strike up a conversation with a woman.

"Can you tell me your name?" One day, Fang Xiuli said to a woman in the cafeteria. "Yes, yes, but be careful not to say it out loud. If the walls have ears, then I may never be able to get out of the dark tunnel for the rest of my life." The woman talking and laughing was the female soldier of the anti-Titania organization in the desert cave at that time. Here she did not wear goggles, but she was still wearing a camouflage field uniform. Fang Xiuli put her laughter aside and continued to ask. "What's your name?" "Seraphim Coopers, my friends call me Shera."

So Fang Xiuli finally succeeded in asking the long-awaited name. At this time, the Baghsiu government was in a situation completely opposite to the state of peace of mind.The landless vassal king of Titania, Yashuman, proposed reconciliation conditions, with as many as forty items, which were not only severe, but extremely harsh. It is justifiable to ask for the surrender of war criminals, but it is the following condition that forces the Baghsiah government to almost have a collective heart attack. "The right to examine the qualifications of the manager of the confused planet is permanently transferred to Titania."

It is impossible for Baghsiu to accept this condition. The management of Huo Xing is in charge of the development and administration of Huo Xing. If it is transferred out, it is voluntarily giving up the status of "border capital". "Titania has no intention of asking for peace at all. They make unreasonable demands every day to make it clear that they want to force us to go to war." "The death of Duke Zhelish didn't hurt them at all. In their view, it was accidental luck." "It's really like Titania's usual style. The death of their relatives has become a tool for them to use. They even bite the bones of the dead. This is their nature."

"We can't get along with that kind of people just because Baghsiah sticks to his existing conscience and morality to maintain the current peace. As a human being, he must be educated, but it's useless to wild beasts. The only way to tell them is to use a whip! " The waves of passionate voices are surging inside and outside the Baghsiew government. "There is still room for negotiation. If we get angry, we will fall into Titania's trap. We should calmly think about the best course of action." Ya shot through the tolerance of the Bagheesh, whose patience had evaporated and nearly irritated.

However, the Baghsuh government will not declare war easily. They tried to find a solution but failed to find a miraculously good solution.As a result, it was really thankless to be criticized by the main combat faction as "indecisive" without reaching a conclusion for a long time. Admiral Tobil looked energetic, which was in contrast to the distress and distress of senior government officials. This was the benefit of being the first to cross the river. "If I am wronged, I will definitely be killed by Titania, but I will not go alone, and I will take a hundred politicians who put on airs in the parliament to Huangquan Road."

"Just blow up the meeting hall. Anyway, the tables are all eaten up, and it doesn't matter if you destroy the restaurant." Major Ike took off his military cap and raised his head and said.Major General Tobil and he originally belonged to the conservative and moderate faction in the Baghee Ministry of Defense. Who knew that the goddess of fate was lazy for a while, and they became the backbone of the main battle against Titania. The Baghsiew government was unable to digest the public opinion for a while, so it could only summon Admiral Tobil and Fang Xiuli, who were under house arrest, to the Security Committee of the Supreme Council to listen to their opinions.Everyone is not allowed to carry weapons. In addition, each person is assigned four soldiers to be responsible for monitoring. If you can uncuff the handcuffs, you should be very grateful. After a formal interrogation for 500 seconds, the chairman of the Supreme Council sat on a chair and asked Fang Xiuli who was standing. "Are you confident in defeating Titania?" This question was so straightforward that it was almost rough, Fang Xiuli had no obligation to please the person who asked this question. "It depends on the conditions." "The condition is... money?" Fang Xiuli was dumbfounded by the other party's reaction, and Mai Xiudi must have died of joy when he heard it, but it was probably because the other party was always watching crudely made albums of the history of space development on the stereo TV at home. Inside, the righteous hero must repel the evil aliens, and he only needs to drink beer and enjoy the fun on the other side of the screen, and the audience of the stereoscopic TV will not be hurt. "You once defeated Duke Albert of Titania, so you must know how to defeat the crowd with few tactics." "There is no such thing in this world." Fang Xiuli replied with almost freezing indifference; he thought that even if the Baghsiah government was dismantled by Titania and disappeared without a trace in the universe, the future history would not leave any sighs. "Since you have no chance of winning, do you still need to confront Titania?" Fang Xiuli deliberately ignored the speaker's staring expression and replied. "Alex Albert Titania is a famous player. I accidentally won him in the battle of Kaiberos, but it doesn't mean that the same tactic can be used twice." This is the truth, and I have become a fan of acting skills.Since Duke Albert is the enemy, don't expect to beat him in terms of military and tactics, Dr. Li glanced at Fang Xiuli's profile, and interjected inadvertently. "Fang Xiuli doesn't necessarily have to defeat Titania personally, the most important thing is that the anti-Titania camp can defeat Titania, right?" The idea of ​​replacing Baghew with an anti-Titanian camp is where Dr. Lee is ingenious but cunning, he doesn't want Baghew to just win and be saved. One of the congressmen glanced at Fang Xiuli and other "irresponsible outsiders" with malicious eyes, punched the table and shouted. "I have already understood that these people should be handcuffed and brought to Titania's chief engineer. They should be responsible for the war against Titania. As long as these people are handed over, Titania will not use force. " "The first half of your statement is correct, but the second half is just wishful thinking." Dr. Li gave a failing grade, looking like an unreasonable and sarcastic interviewer. "Compromise depends on the target. Zhelixu of Titania was killed. If you don't completely subdue you Baghugh, then Titania's prestige will not be restored. As long as you take one step back, they will take two steps forward , I believe you will understand this truth, you are just deceiving yourself and others." The MP fell silent, and Dr. Lee stopped talking, and it was Yamjkar's turn to debate. "I'm Yamjekar, I was a soldier of the Vldana Empire, and I was also defeated by Alex Albert." Yamjekar reported his name generously, and glanced at the congressmen with his sharp eyes. "Has anyone in Baghee defeated Albert Titania on the battlefield? No, but other countries have such talents. The only way to hand over the command of the entire army to Fang Xiuli is Bagh way of life." A lawmaker obediently offered a rebuttal. "War is not the only solution. Titania is not a group of demons. Submitting to them should not lead to subjugation." "Haven't you learned enough from the past history? The Vldana Empire in the past was a powerful country that could compete with the Interstellar Urban Alliance, but now it is only a colony of the Titania family." "..." The senior officials of the Baghsiew government looked at each other and fell into a thick and dark silence like deep-sea fish, while Yamjekar continued to twitch his tongue. "If you surrender to Titania, you can only gain superficial independence. Titania does not reopen. As long as they have real benefits, it depends on whether you can bear to wear Titania's collar and beg for mercy. shame." This sharp metaphor left the peace faction speechless. "Then let me ask you, are you sure you can defeat Titania?" The main peace faction roared aggressively. "Even if you are not sure, you still have to fight, as if Baghee was involved in a private struggle between our group of exiles and Titania." "That's right." Dr. Li muttered brazenly in a very small volume, they dragged Baghugh into the war against Titania for their own sake, even if they were criticized as egoists, it would not be an exaggeration.However, Fang Xiuli and Dr. Li were definitely not apostles of peace from the very beginning, nor were they heroes of justice. They were just "liberators" who rejected Titania's rule. Baghugh. For Baghsiew who became the target, it can be said to be a disaster, but Fang Xiuli believes: "Stop crying when things happen now, if you don't want to beg Titania for mercy, just stand up and fight!" Half of them are just Listen to yourself. The peace faction continued to shout. "If the fate of a country is handed over to these scoundrels, can we meet tomorrow without regret?" "Rather than die contentedly today, it is better to meet tomorrow with remorse." Admiral Tobil straightened up and fought back vigorously. The veteran knew in his heart that it was the end of the road, and he could only make mistakes.He originally wanted to commit suicide to show responsibility, but Titania would not be merciful because of this, so he had to give it a go; if Zhelixu Titania had listened to Admiral Tobil's good words and persuaded him to retreat obediently, this would not have caused such a situation casualties. Some people criticize Major General Tobil as "the boss should be self-respecting". This is true.Political judgment is different from advertising a 60-minute film series on the history of the development of the universe. The opposing backlog factions each hold their own opinions, and each has reasons to refute the claims of the other faction.This time, the internal confrontation between the Titanian peace faction and the main war faction in Baghsu was also due to the fact that the two sides firmly believed in the correctness of their historical vision and wanted to prevent the hostile camp from leading the mother country in the wrong direction.However, the instability of their position was caused by the fear of Titania's power. This fear caused one to seek peace while the other wanted to get rid of the high-handed rule. As a result, the confrontation continued. The confrontation has not been resolved, and the foreign minister Kwain who is stranded in the "Tiancheng" sent chilling intelligence again. "The Titanian army is commanded by Alex Albert, and plans to mobilize at least 20,000 ships." "Two, twenty thousand?" The speaker was expressionless and speechless. Titania has a total force of 100,000 ships. In the past four and a half centuries, it has never mobilized more than 10,000 warships. This time, it dispatched 20,000 ships, which shows Titania's determination. "That, that's a bluff. It's not easy to mobilize an army. Isn't there a so-called mob?" "Oh, do you mean that the elite Titanian army led by Duke Albert is a rabble?" Dr. Li deliberately used the sharp needle of words to pierce the opponent's bluff. "That's really great. Let's stop trying to help Baghsiu's army. Please find a way to repel Titania yourself. I wish you success soon." After whipping the speaker's nerves, lungs, bones and heart severely for a while, everyone left.I originally wanted to make good use of the extra time, but I didn't expect to encounter an unexpected crisis as soon as I returned to the dormitory.Herbivores will counterattack when they are pushed into a hurry. After learning about the mobilization plan of Titania's 20,000 warships on this day, the rational wiring of some peacemakers was broken.They regarded Fang Xiuli and his party as the root of all evil, so they organized an assassination group, and fifty people rushed into the dormitory with guns. They crowded the lobby on the first floor, thinking that Fang Xiuli and the others would be powerless with few people and no weapons. resist, however... "You idiots, have you figured it out?" Fang Xiuli roared down from the patio on the second floor, all the energy in his body was accumulated in his vocal cords and eyes, staring desperately at the thugs who were about to run up the stairs; "Do you think Titania is afraid of Baghee's military power? Wrong! Titania is afraid of me, the only man who has ever defeated Alex Albert!" Fang Xiuli beat his chest. He knew that although his acting skills were very good, he performed with all his might. The thugs took a few steps back and looked at each other; so Fang Xiuli seized the opportunity to speak eloquently. "Whoever dares to kill me, Titania will lead the army to attack Baghsiah at the same time, and in the end, you Baghsiu people will destroy the city guarded by you, so Titania naturally wants it. What you are doing now It is the behavior of Tuli Titania!" The thugs wailed. Ninety-nine percent of the perpetrators considered themselves loyal and passionate patriots. Their current actions were regarded as acts of benefiting the enemy, which caused confusion and turmoil among each other. "That one over there! How much did Titania spend to buy you?" MacVerdy yelled, pointing at one of the thugs, and he jumped in to join Fong Xiuli's drama.The person named was a young man of medium build. His expression was convulsive and he couldn't refute. It wasn't because he was telling the truth, but because he was accused of an unwarranted crime. "No, no, we are for the motherland..." While the opponent was arguing vigorously, Major Ike led his team to drive away the mob.If this group of people opened fire as soon as they saw Fang Xiuli, then their goal would have been achieved, but the other party scared them away with just a few words, which is the most embarrassing thing.Dr. Li thanked Major Ike and deliberately applauded Fang Xiuli and McFurdy. "The acting skills are really great. The two of you may consider singing oboe in the future." "Whatever you say." Fang Xiuli's tall and thin body slumped to the chair, a lot of sweat came out from the surface of the skin; Maddy also sat aside and shrugged. "Acting skills that don't even earn a daka are so tiring. I'm fine today, but what about tomorrow?" "It depends on the decision of the Baghsuh government." As Dr. Li expected, the Baghsiew government finally had to make a decision. "There is no other way now, the only way is to hand over part of the military power to Fang Xiuli and let him participate in the war, and at the same time unite the countries and forces against Titania is the top priority." Anti-Titanian League!This is a plan that countless strategic farmers and diplomats have dreamed of over the past two centuries; however, the plan is often aborted in the middle of the practice after it is formed. It is also unavoidable to avoid the vulnerability caused by encountering different dreams in the same bed.When A holds the dominant power, B opposes it. When C fights for its own rights in the big alliance, D hinders it. Titania stabs these cracks with a needle, and the sand city immediately collapses. Knowing how difficult the future is, Baghee still has no choice but to choose the method of the big alliance. So far, Baghee's political and military policy has finally been determined. Badgers and Warenkov were incorporated into Major General Tobil's troops and served as temporary staff. Although not as chaotic as Baghugh, Titania's headquarters "Sky City" is also the peak of rumors. "Although Duke Chu Shilang has considerable political influence, he doesn't know how capable he is in commanding battles? Probably not as good as Duke Albert and the late Duke Jerish?" "So, after the death of Duke Zhelish, Duke Albert became the treasure of Titania's army. If he doesn't play, who should our Titania send to command the army?" "How is Prince Idris?" "...Well, that gentleman should train his younger brother well before he transfers his troops." After speaking, everyone laughed together.Idris's popularity was already low, and his surly younger brother was even more unpopular. Everyone obviously blamed Radmotz and sympathized with Falmy who had been transferred to Tirun. And Radmoz has been lifted from the ban and went to visit his brother. "Brother, I will try my best not to embarrass you." "Very well, then go ahead." There was no trace of brotherhood in Idris's tone. If Radmoz was relegated to a border farther than Tirun where Falmy was, Idris would not even raise an eyebrow.Regardless of whether Radmotz understood what his brother was thinking, he said cheerfully. "I have something to ask you. When Albert goes out, I hope you can arrange for me to join the staff." Idris raised his eyebrows without saying a word, while Radmus continued. "I won't beat around the bush. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's a senior adjutant or the chief of staff. In short, I hope to make great contributions through this expedition." "You really have a heart." Idris's reaction was insincere, what "senior adjutant or chief of staff will do", what nonsense!Idris felt that Radmotz was taking these two roles too lightly, and he turned to the speaker with a frown on his formerly high brow. "Radmoz, I remember that you were appointed as the Commander of Baghew's personal guard not long ago. That is the high-ranking position that every soldier of the Empire dreams of. Do you want it or not?" Hearing his brother's stern accusation, this time Radmoz remained silent.In terms of facial features and physique, there is a ferocious air that a seventeen-year-old boy should not have. Compared with him, Idris looks much slender.Radmotz's silent look didn't seem to be apologetic, but he was out of temper anyway. "If you weren't from the Titania family, how could you have held such an important position at the age of seventeen? You should be conscious and perform your duties carefully to gain the approval of the outside world. Like you and Falmina this time Such a person making trouble and causing His Royal Highness Pan's displeasure, is simply extremely stupid!" As he spoke, a wave of anger welled up in Idris's heart.Radmoz understands his brother's ambition, and as his own younger brother, he should assist him to achieve his goal, but in the end he hinders Idris from the very beginning.The reason why Idris looked down on Zhelixu in his lifetime was that he couldn't even control his younger brother Arthur, but looking back, he still couldn't deal with his unworthy younger brother; the more he recognized this fact, Idris The more difficult it is to swallow the bitter anger in my heart. If Radmoz's talent is better than Idris's, the Duke's family will naturally fall into the hands of Radmoz. Idris has to thank Radmoz for being a mediocre man, but he doesn't know enough to talk about his brother The hind legs are even more troublesome. "When I was seventeen, I was more self-conscious and responsible than you are now, and I always strive to become a member of the five families of Titania." As soon as Idris's words were interrupted, Radmotz gave him an inexplicably strong gaze. "If I am destined to become the head of the Duke's family, I will naturally work hard." "Bastard! What are you talking about?" Facing his brother's angry reprimand, Radmotz kept silent again, but his eyes were still flickering. Immediately, Idris shuddered. Could it be that his younger brother is a monster?Although this person in front of him is his own younger brother, he always acts recklessly and disregards common sense and restraint.Although he staged a small-scale full-scale martial arts battle with Viscount Falmy a while ago, it is likely to cause even bigger troubles in the future. In this way, it is a blessing for Radmoz not to be the commander of the personal guard, for Idris.At this time, according to Radmoz's wishes, let him participate in the campaign of Alexander Albert, and at the same time, the responsibility of supervision can also be shifted to Alexander Albert. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? In addition to Radmus, Idris also has a youngest brother and two younger sisters. The younger brother Jelfa respects his elder brother very much. Although his character is not bad, he cannot help his elder brother because he is only twelve years old. See After coming to Idris, you have to carry the family alone for at least five years. With Idris's self-esteem, he would not humbly ask Albert to hire his younger brother. In this way, there is only one way, and that is to meet with the vassal king Arjuman and plead for Radmotz to restore his reputation. Chance.Arjuman cast his sharp eyes on Idris, and finally nodded silently and said that he would instruct Alex Albert.The next day, Idris learned of Alex Albert's statement. "Baron Radmouse, regardless of his character, is indeed a brave young man. If he can make achievements in the field, his reputation may surpass that of his brother or the Duke of Dries. I am happy to see it." Idris was so offended by this statement that he withdrew his petition to let Radmoz join the army shortly after much consideration.Although Ali Albert expressed regret, but to put it bluntly, it was only superficial acting. "Things went quite smoothly. Fortunately, the wisdom of Chu Shilang was borrowed." Alex Albert thanked the person who offered advice, Chu Shilang could only smile wryly and nodded slightly. It is also the first time for Alex Albert to command such a large army to carry out a full-scale war with Baghew. At present, when he is concentrating on formulating and implementing the combat plan, he really does not want someone like Radmooz Going to the front line to join in the fun, in fact, only one sentence is enough to refuse Radmoz to participate in the war. However, before the war, there are ulterior motives, so Alex Albert approached Chu Shilang, and with Chu Shilang's advice, Idris challenged Radmoz. complicated psychology. "Sir Idris has also suffered a lot for his unprogressive brother. I wonder if Sir Radmoz will give up on this?" Chu Shilang couldn't ignore how heavy and filthy his blood was. From the perspective of patrilineal relationship, Alex Albert and Chu Shilang are cousins ​​of the same age. On the surface, this is recorded in the genealogy. Other facts are not recognized, but blood that is not accepted by the public does exist of. Titania is actually a system that controls power and affairs by blood. As long as the blood is broken, the system will be relatively disintegrated. Therefore, in addition to family marriages and adoptions, infertile couples often resort to extraordinary measures in private in order to conceive. It is not uncommon for the first son of family A to be the illegitimate son of the family of B. This situation is not uncommon among eight generations of vassals. The power rule from blood continued under the legitimate position of "continuing the blood", and it was during this period that the birth of The filth and absurdity that ordinary citizens are dumbfounded by. Chu Shilang does not respect to talk about his private life with Alexander. People are not sages, so there will always be several mistresses, but Chu Shilang does not want to pursue the inside story. The relationship between Odora is very concerned, but it is only limited to political meaning.Thinking about it carefully, the Duke of Idris is really amazing, holding two dangerous people, his younger brother Radmoz and his lover Theodora, with each arm. This is Chu Shilang's gloating idea. Alex Albert came to Chu Shilang's residence to thank Baron Radmouse and brought peach parfait and chocolate cream pastry to Princess Lydia. "I don't know much about girls' tastes, but the princess should like it." The young brave general of Titania handed the snack box to Francia, and then drank whiskey with Chu Shilang. Naturally, the topic could not be separated from the content of this expedition. Alex Albert had insightful insights into military technology. "Bagexiu should hand over part of the authority to Fang Xiuli and his party, but as long as they don't hold the command of Baghee's army, Titania will never fail. Even if there are partial concessions, the overall Definitely win." After finishing speaking, Alex Albert quietly added another sentence. "Overwhelming." Chu Shilang doesn't think that Alex Albert is exaggerating. He is not an embroidered pillow who only knows how to brag, but a character with considerable strength and confidence. robust military capabilities. Albert left after an hour's stay, and how many tactics he had to practice, how many stratagems he had to devise, to command his army before he went home to bed. "Duke Albert is fine." Princess Lydia was full of admiration, and she definitely didn't just say that after accepting the dessert.Chu Shilang also agreed with the princess' opinion, and he was glad that his evaluation of people was consistent with Princess Lydia's.Comparing my level with a ten-year-old child, no matter how smart the child is, it can only be said that Chu Shilang's personality has its unique side. The responsibility of regulating and mobilizing the army is on the shoulders of Alex Albert, and King Pan Yashuman must also approve the various drafts as the lord of Titania.Taking advantage of the gap between personnel, organization, supply, and the work of the Vldana court, Arman, accompanied by Earl Elman, went to inspect the status of the military space port. Gersho Foreign Minister Kwien came here.While overlooking the ships in the space port from the high handrail, Arjuman asked the entourage. "Earl Elman, you have only visited Tiancheng once in a long time, what can you gain?" "Can Wei Chen speak directly?" "It's okay, just say it." "Forgive me for speaking bluntly. In my humble opinion in the future, the future Titania will continue to be continued with the complementarity of Duke Albert and Duke Chu Shilang." "You mean that there is Duke Alberto on the outside responding to the enemy, and Duke Chu Shilang on the inside ruling?" "yes." Elman's self-righteous answer caused Arshuman to retort. "As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If two people are divided into two forces, they will form a faction. In this way, a group of villains will also oppose each other by pretending to be powerful." "This is naturally not what Titania would like to see. Once the cooperative relationship between the two adults disintegrates, it is exactly what the ambitious anti-Titania wants." "A careerist? A careerist never existed outside of Titania." There was a blade-like smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, a cold and thick knife. "What about Duke Idris? As far as I can see, his ambition and dedication to the throne of the vassal king surpass the other two dukes." It took a while to hear the answer. "His Royal Highness is aware of this, and my ministers also feel the same way." Elman no longer opened his mouth to state his opinion, and Arman glanced at Earl Elman, who was in a lower position. This time, the smile that emerged was like the thin blade of a razor, which almost made Earl Elman feel pain. "Forget it, anyway, everything will be discussed after the lonely death." It would be a great disrespect for those words to come from someone else's mouth, a freedom of speech permitted only by Arjoman. "The river of time will also pass through several waterfalls. In just one or two years, the world will change a lot, and a new era beyond imagination will begin. If you can't keep up with the trend, you will be drowned." The feudal king stepped on the planed floor, full of power and majesty, and elegant like a feline.Elman walked seven steps away from the feudal lord expressionlessly, and the vassal king understood that this was evidence that he was in deep thought, and he could clearly understand his every move without turning his head, as if he had eyes behind him. "Count Elman." "Ah, what can I order? Your Royal Highness." "At the side of Duke Albert, you will assist him as a diplomatic advisor when he negotiates peace with the enemy." "The humble minister obeys the order." The earl bowed deeply respectfully, only the footsteps of the vassal king gradually moved away from his head. In mid-December, Viscount Falmy Titania came to the surface of Tiron. Due to the difference in latitude and altitude, there is a difference in temperature and temperature, but overall it is a high-humidity planet. Ryo's palm caressed the young man's cheek.It was only the ninth step out of the gate of the space port, and Falmi met the counselor colleague who came to greet him. "Are you the Viscount Falmy Titania who came to serve as the counselor?" "Yes, are you here to pick me up?" When Falmy replied, he was prepared inwardly. The one who stopped him was a woman, a thin and pale forty-year-old woman who was neither young nor beautiful. Because she knew how to dress up, her thin gray eyes were full of intelligence. , is not the object of love for the young Falmy, but maybe a trustworthy person, at least Titania will not let an incompetent and lonely woman take the important position of counselor. But this is only the case for people who do not have the surname Titania.Getting in the car, Falmy thought unconvincingly: In fact, a foolish and rough young man like Baron Radmus Titania can still become the commander of the Vldana Guards through his family background. Isn't it the first step of decadence and degeneration? "It's fine if it's the Duke of Idris. I didn't expect that I would be punished together with Baron Radmotz. Is that the only level I have in the eyes of the vassal?" The heat dripping from the sense of humiliation burned the nerve network and made the cheeks hot, and the female counselor at the side glanced at it inadvertently. The car is driven by a corporal wearing a gray uniform. Power throwing is not mechanized or automatic, but it is the force that can drive the greatest manpower. Titania holds the strongest power in the universe and thus becomes the largest employer in the universe.The car shuttled through the street at a leisurely pace, heading for the representative office of Titania in Tirun. "That's the shop of the Interstellar City Alliance." The thin fingers of the female counselor pointed to the magnificent building with the high walls made of Tiren sandstone and the iron gate. The main entrance faced the square paved with permeable tiles. The number of buildings is incalculable, extending to the left and right to the interior to enclose the contours of multiple high-rise buildings. In the gradually darkening twilight, their majestic appearance left a deep impression on Farmie's vision. "It's just like a Kyoto." While sighing, Falmy had a different idea in his heart: what this magnificent building is not about the authority of the Interstellar Urban Alliance, but about the weakness of this chaotic planet.Looking back at the history of human beings on the ancient earth, compared with powerful countries, it is often the monarchs of subjugated countries who build strong castles. They will not feel safe unless they hide in thick and high walls.The residents of Tiron's planet have always had a dislike for the Interstellar City Alliance, and therefore the neutrality towards Titania is the basic attitude of the Tirun government and the people. "Viscount Falmy, you will soon become a celebrity in Tyren's society, and it won't be long before dozens of local gentry want to welcome you as their daughter's son-in-law." "That's really exciting." Falmy responded with a lack of interest, but it was actually a way of life as a Titanian nobleman.Marry the daughter of a local celebrity to gain local wealth and power throughout his life, but it runs counter to Farmy's values.Slowly pass the time and burn slowly, the ashes change from warm to cold. Farmi has no intention of criticizing other people's way of life. If someone forces him to follow this path, he will fight to the end with all his might. He would rather detonate in an instant life. "I will let you return to Tiancheng as soon as possible." Duke Chu Shilang said so, should he be believed?Since leaving "Sky City", his only companion, Lonely Sense, played the flute of doubt, and he should be the thorn in Duke Chu Shilang's side. Falmy kept silent in the car seat that was moving steadily, and the accompanying female counselor seemed to be conscious of not disturbing him. "The war is on! The war is on!" A sudden sound came into my ears. "A full-scale war broke out between Titania and Baghee! Emperor Vldana officially declared war on Baghee!" A man on the street corner pointed at the TV wall dedicated to broadcasting news on the street and yelled. The citizens looked at each other and gathered in front of the TV at a faster pace.法尔密拍了拍驾驶座的车背示意停车,直出车外才跟群众走了两、三步,女性参事官便喊住他表示铁达尼亚代表处一定会有比街头电视更丰富正确的情报,迟疑了一会,法尔密颌首正要转身。 倏地,法尔密感到前所未有的窒息,他数度深呼吸并闭上双眼,同时平衡感略微失调,于是单膝跪在地。下士叫了一声准备过来协助年轻的长官,法尔密却拨开他的手,让自己暂时保持不动的姿势。下士以为法尔密贫血,其实不然。 法尔密很明白原因,应该说他觉得他可以明白,跟贫血不同,是由于血量过多的缘故;在法尔密体内奔流的铁达尼亚血液想脱离地面翱翔宇宙,才会一时如猛浪沸腾起来。最遗憾的是在铁达尼亚与巴格休爆发全面战争的这个时候,自己却必须远离宇宙中枢来到边境的惑星。 “有铁达尼亚才有宇宙。” 国父奈威尔夸下如此豪语,不管怎么形容都好,只要能徜徉在星海这个宇宙的大漠,铁达尼亚的血将得到饱足;正如同鸟不是属于陆地的生物,铁达尼亚一族也不属于陆地的种族,法尔密能够深刻体会到这个事实。 终于,法尔密站起身,额头闪着细汗的光流,视线放诸夜空。如白纱般的银河在天际抛出一道炫惑人心的彩带,他恨不得早一刻回到那夜空的顶端,在陆地待得愈久,他的血就会变得愈稀薄,他是铁达尼亚人也因此才需要宇宙的存在。 星历四四六年在动乱与混沌里度过,预估就在新年的响亮钟声之中,铁达尼亚一族与巴格休共和国双方舰队将正面开战。
