In a somewhat monotonous space, apart from the blue planet of Heavenly Planet in the distance, there were no other planets in the surrounding space that could nurture life. From space, Heavenly Planet was lonely. At least in the vast area around it, it was the only planet that had given birth to a civilization. But in this era, the distant star path was no longer the fundamental reason for stopping explorers, so the so-called loneliness was only relative.
Space distorted, and the surrounding things stretched and deformed, as if they were looking through a convex mirror. Then, in the middle of the distorted space, something else entered the space. It stretched along with the space and returned to normal as the space shrank. When this phenomenon stopped, a starship that had just left the warp tunnel appeared in this space.
The star-like porthole baffle began to rise, allowing the passengers inside to see the scenery outside, even if there was nothing worth appreciating in this space. However, when the corner of Heavenly Planet in the distance was reflected in the porthole window, Allen could not help but look at the blue planet.
"We're back," Edward said. "But before returning to Heavenly Planet, we have something else to do."
Allen glanced at him but did not ask what it was. The starship had already begun to move. When it passed by a group of meteorites, it saw the Gemini Star Locator set up near a dead star from afar. The locator flickered in space. This unmanned machine acted as a medium for communication with the lunar space station. Back then, Allen and the others had relied on it to return to Earth. Now that he saw it, Allen had basically guessed what Edward was talking about.
Although it was a merchant ship, the starship was also equipped with a weapon system. It was just not comparable to the various types of warships that were specially used for combat. Two missile launchers rose from the front of the starship. Then, several flames sprayed out, and a few missiles shot out. Dragging an orange tail flame, it crossed space. Allen, who was in the cabin, saw the missile hit the locator a few seconds later. The Gemini Star immediately turned into a brilliant firework, and countless flaming metal fragments flew everywhere.
After blowing up the locator, the bottom of the merchant ship's hull opened, and five or six barrel-like objects were ejected out of the starship. As soon as they left the starship, lights began to flicker on their surface. Following that, a circle of blue electric flames shot out from its tail and shot in different directions. Moments later, these things had already turned into specks of light that were constantly moving away.
"Those are signal transmitters." Edward explained, "If Gemini is blown up, then Earth will lose the specific coordinates of Planet Heaven. They can open a warp tunnel in this star field, but the location is random. It will take a lot of effort to find Planet Heaven again. As for the signal transmitters, they will interfere and mislead them if the Federation wants to track us through the signal of this starship. "
Allen nodded. Edward's plan was still meticulous. However, the destruction of the Gemini Star meant that they would not be able to return to Earth in a short period of time.
After ejecting the signal transmitters, the starship turned around. The tail engine spewed out lightning and fire, pushing the starship towards Planet Heaven. At the same time, in a certain unknown space, after a series of distortions, a few starships appeared in the void. Judging from the style of the starship, it belonged to the Earth Federation, and the symbol of black wings on the main ship meant that these starships belonged to the trump card legion, the Black Wings.
In the command room of the main ship, Silfa looked listless. Even though the fleet had suddenly left the warp tunnel, the young admiral didn't seem to care much. He just asked casually, "What happened?"
Someone replied, "General, the guidance signal of the Gemini Star suddenly disappeared, causing the warp tunnel to close ahead of time. We are now locating the surrounding space to confirm our location. "
"The signal of the Gemini Star disappeared?" Silfa sat up slightly and asked, "Then can we still reach Planet Heaven?"
"We can get the lunar space station to reopen the passage, but without the signal guidance of the Gemini Star, we can only reach the star field where Planet Heaven is. After that, we will need to search on our own. It will probably take some time. "
"Be more specific."
"That depends on the size of the star field and the location of Planet Heaven. Even if we use drones to search, it will take at least three to five months to find Planet Heaven … "
"I see." Silfa asked again, "Is there any way to find the signal of the other party's starship?"
"We've already done that just now, but the radar shows six signal sources. They appear in different directions and are still moving."
Silfa smiled. "That's good."
The adjutant next to him was confused and asked, "General, what do you think?"
"My opinion is that we can't track the target now. This mission has failed. Return."
The adjutant was stunned. He had been following Silfa for a while and knew very well that this gentle young admiral wasn't the kind of person who would give up easily. It was unprecedented for the mission to be abandoned before it even began, so the adjutant confirmed, "Are we not going to continue tracking?"
"Yes, our Black Wings will no longer accept any similar missions. We have more important duties to do. I will report this matter to Mr. President personally. If he still wants to track the target, ask him to send another legion to carry out the mission. " Silfa stood up and said, "I'm tired. Apply for a return passage from the lunar space station and let me know when you return to Earth."
Then, ignoring the puzzled faces of the adjutant and the other crew members, Silfa walked out of the control room. He went to his room alone, but he recalled the scene when he went to Mobius to ask for an explanation after Allen was taken to Iron Prison. However, the President didn't want to see him at that time and only left him a message: obey orders.
Silfa thought about it and laughed, "Mr. President, what exactly are you planning? This is different from the Orfasis agreement."
Heavenly Star.
Ever since the last time the alien army invaded, but was completely annihilated by the Federation army that came out halfway, the Shadow Duchy seemed to have abandoned the front line of the southern border. More than half a month had passed since the end of the war, but not a single alien had been seen. Salon's Bucks Army was still stationed in the unicorn territory, and even allowed Keller to bring an army back to Mountain City.
As Salon had thought, there was no sign of an outsider in Mountain City. It was as if the sudden attack had scared them out of their wits, and the Shadow Duchy had completely given up on invading the empire from this border. As a result, Keller simply stayed in Mountain City and rebuilt the fortifications. The people of Mountain City had proposed to move back more than once, but Salon rejected them, so Remington could only appease the people and temporarily stay in Allen's territory.
Since Allen and Edward had left one after another, the responsibility of managing the territory fell to Lucy. As Allen's closest woman, she was almost duty-bound. Fortunately, there was a dragon who was familiar with the affairs of the territory to assist her. These days, Lucy managed it in an orderly manner. On this day, she finished reviewing the budget application from Glory Academy and had no other work. In the study room of the Lord's Mansion of Dawn Castle, the afternoon sun fell on the dark desk, illuminating the golden rose ring on Lucy's finger. She twirled the ring and suddenly missed that person very much.
After Allen returned to Earth, Lucy had no news of him at all. However, she had a lot of work to do, and she spent almost all of her energy on the management of the territory. It wasn't until now that he had free time that his longing for him emerged from his heart.
There was a knock on the door. With Lucy's permission, the dragon pushed the door open and entered. The tall and thin Oriental man said in a deep voice, "Miss Lucy, please go back now. Lord Allen and the others are back."
Lucy's jade eyes lit up with a green light. She stood up and waved at the silver spider lying on the table in the sun. The silver spider jumped up and turned into thousands of silver threads that landed on Lucy's wrist. With another spin, it turned into a silver bracelet. Lucy quickly walked out of the Lord's Mansion and got into a carriage to return to the newly built hotel. The hotel was a plan that had been started before the invasion of the outsiders. Edward had built a hotel in many territories for Allen and the others to stay.
Returning to the hotel on the hill north of Dawn Castle, the environment here was quiet and secluded. The hotel was built on a hill covered with green grass, overlooking the city in the distance. Along with the hotel, there was a small road connecting the city, as well as two rows of street lamps by the side of the road. The carriage passed through the gate of the hotel and stopped in the small square in front of the main building. Lucy saw Edward as soon as she got off the carriage. When she didn't see Allen, her heart sank.
"Where's Allen?"
"He's in the room." Edward accompanied Lucy into the main building. The two of them walked along the stairs of the lobby to the second floor. After turning into a corridor, Edward said, "Your Highness, Young Master Allen didn't have a good experience on Earth this time. Something bad happened."
"Can you tell me?"
"Of course, I don't think Young Master will take most of those things to heart, but there's one thing he won't be able to let go of." "When Young Master was imprisoned by the Federation for no reason, Mr. Horn personally went to rescue him," Edward said simply. "But Mr. Horn couldn't come back. He probably died in the explosion in the prison."
"Oh my god." Lucy covered her mouth and exclaimed softly. She knew Allen's feelings for Horn, and she knew what it meant to lose Horn to Allen. Without seeing Allen, she could already feel the sadness in the air of the hotel.
"What can I do for him?"
Edward shook his head. "You don't have to do anything. Just stay by his side and listen to him. That's the greatest comfort. On the way back, although Young Master Allen said he was fine, anyone who wasn't blind could tell that he was seriously injured. " He pointed at his chest and continued, "He's just holding on, but this kind of emotion is very bad for Young Master. I think only you can help him release it now. "
