MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 157

Time entered August 1129 of the galactic calendar, and the life of the space pirates cruising on the border of the Golden Empire became more and more difficult.

The experienced space pirates know how to avoid the patrol fleets on the border of the empire. Their range of activities always has certain rules. Mastering these rules can effectively avoid direct encounters with the border patrol fleets of the empire. However, when the fleet of the Deco system joins the pursuit of space pirates, the Imperial fleet in charge of border patrol suddenly finds itself with nothing to do.

The Imperial Border Patrol Fleet went back and forth on the established route, watching the Deco Galaxy Fleet use the Galaxy Fleet with absolute advantage in number and weapon caliber, unscrupulously "bullying" the poor cosmic pirates. Some cosmic pirates who had been "bullied" to the point of nowhere, when they saw the appearance of the Imperial Border Patrol Fleet, even burst into tears, and couldn't wait to send a surrender message to the Border Patrol Fleet, but the Imperial soldiers who had already received the order could only Silently stayed aside, not saying a word. Until the Deco galaxy fleet forced the cosmic pirates to the point of no retreat, from personnel, to energy, to ships, and after looting, they stepped forward to clean up the battlefield.

Looking at the messy battlefield, the imperial soldiers could only sigh that this was not an encirclement and suppression of pirates, but a disguised robbery of pirates. Such behavior is simply unheard of. It is puzzling that those former colleagues, who are now serving in the Deco galaxy fleet, are proud of this. In the minds of the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Border Patrol Fleet, the Deco Galaxy Fleet has become a more greedy existence than space pirates.

The commander-in-chief of the Border Patrol Fleet had sent an inquiry to the Imperial Capital about what the Deco Galaxy Fleet had done, and the response he received made the Lord Commander have to turn a blind eye to the blatant looting of the Galaxy Fleet. The reply was only a simple sentence: "This is the imperial concubine's fleet."

So, Your Excellency Commander wisely chose to shut up.

"Who is the robber?!"

A cosmic pirate questioned with grief and indignation. At that time, his hands were bound by laser handcuffs, his eyes were red like a trapped beast, and he was escorted to Saixia for "reform" with his accomplices. When he leaves from Sai Xia, he will be incorporated into the Deco system fleet to fill the gap of insufficient personnel in the fleet.

The looting of the Deco Galaxy Fleet went very smoothly. Shang Ping wisely defined the looting as a "small-scale actual combat exercise" and strictly limited the activity area of ​​the Deco Galaxy Fleet to avoid expanding such looting. so as to have a negative impact on the fleet itself. Everything has a limit, and once this line is crossed, the development of things will be uncontrollable. This is not what Shang Ping is happy to see.

All things are done in moderation, this is the advice of the Imperial Emperor Soran Edrich.

In addition to paying attention to the activities of the Deco galaxy fleet, Shang Ping still has to invest considerable time and energy to restore the ecology and population of the Deco galaxy. In mid-August, the first batch of galaxy immigrants arrived in Deco. The surface of the parent planet of the Deco galaxy is still not suitable for survival, but other planets have been settled by new remnants one after another. The number of these remnants was a drop in the bucket for the entire galaxy, but Shang Ping was satisfied enough.

The accumulation of less becomes more, and the river becomes the sea. It is not a good thing to be too ambitious. His main energy is still on the fleet. When the fleet completes the necessary mission, I believe that the Deco galaxy will gradually return to its former prosperity.

The sixteen-year-old lord of the Deco galaxy, the quasi-emperor of the empire, with a slightly immature face, the majesty of the superior is increasing day by day. If Edgar taught Shang Ping his dignity as a soldier, then goodwill taught Shang Ping that conspiracy is not always derogatory, and Soran Edrich opened a magnificent picture of the universe for Shang Ping . In the eyes of the emperor of the empire, what Shang Ping was trapped, worried about, and anxious about in the past all seemed so insignificant.

"Silly."

Once he thought that he could only use this word to describe some of his previous actions, Shang Ping could only sneer except helplessly.

Of course, he felt that sneering himself was still stupid.

"Power, status, wealth, when it's all at your fingertips, few people care what the price will be."

Goodwill is not surprised that Shang Ping would say such a thing. During this period of time, every time I contacted Shang Ping, I could see his growth. He was no longer the young boy who was captured by the imperial fleet, nor was he any longer. A boy who is indifferent to everything, he begins to think from the perspective of a person in power, and although there are still many shortcomings, it is still eye-catching.

"Baby, you've grown up."

"Father, your tone doesn't sound like a compliment."

Shang Ping rested his legs on the large desk, his black military boots were reflected on the bright tabletop, his elbows rested on the armrest of the office chair, and his fingertips rubbed the blue ear buttons hidden in his hair. Looking at Goodwill with a slightly wry smile, he laughed like a child who succeeded in mischief.

"Father, you don't just want to tell me this, do you?"

"No." Goodwill seemed a little helpless, "Baby, can you tell me, how long will your fleet stay at the border of the empire? You know, indiscriminate lethality is the strongest. Not all cosmic pirates are suitable for being caught. Robbery, you know what I mean?"

"Understood, officials and businessmen colluded." Shang Ping shrugged his shoulders, "But, father, you didn't tell me which pirate gang colluded with you in advance, so you can't blame me. Or, you told me which pirate gang did not collude with you. , for reference."

Putting his fingers on his lap, Shang Ping smiled and looked at the virtual image of Goodwill. Until Goodwill fell silent, he told the other party in a good mood that the activities of the Deco Galaxy Fleet will be suspended in mid-September, and another month will pass. After the rest and run-in, this fleet will leave the Empire and head to the outer galaxy.

"Alien?"

Goodwill finally stopped caring about the captured pirates, and the information revealed in Shang Ping's words made him particularly concerned.

"Yes. Father, you and I both know the original intention of the formation of this fleet. Although there was a small problem in the middle, it has basically been solved. I hope that after I leave the Deco galaxy, you can keep your promise, Uncle Edgar and Austin, I hope they all live."

"Baby, although I am a businessman, I am also an honest businessman."

"...I think your integrity is more unreliable than a pirate's oath not to rob."

"Then I swear in my father's name?"

"Forget it." Shang Ping shook his head, "Anyway, the outcome of the matter will be the same. I will give you a satisfactory answer. In exchange for an equivalent exchange, I believe that you can also keep your promise. If you swear now, it is completely unnecessary."

Shang Ping's words were very direct and somewhat inhumane, at least this should not be the tone of a child speaking to his father. But Goodwill obviously doesn't care, and he is very satisfied that Shangping can think about this.

I have to say, this is a strange father and son.

After finishing the call with Goodwill, Shang Ping fell into an unspeakable silence. He has come to this point, which contains too many uncertain factors. He can say that he is a last resort and can shirk everything, but when he really controls the life and death of a galaxy, and has a strength When the powerful space fleet, Shang Ping found sadly that he also had the so-called "ambition". Back then at the Madoff Military Academy, the self who said that he was going to serve on the supply ship, seemed so far away that only a phantom was left, which could only be left in the deepest part of his memory, just like the expressionless but tough man. The blond boy who wants to "be friends" with himself is nowhere to be found.

The memory settled to the end, the silver-haired and blue-eyed emperor occupied all of Shang Ping's thoughts, thinking of the touch of the snow-like fingertips brushing the corners of his lips, the pale lips gently closed, exuding a blushing breath and As he spoke, silver hair fell from his shoulders, entwining his black hair, like an ancient fetter, entwining all emotions and thoughts tightly, unable to break free, unable to escape. In the presence of Solan Edrich, Shang Ping learned what it means to be afraid, what it means to be overwhelmed, and...

The knock on the door set Shang Ping's thoughts, and he woke up abruptly, only to realize what he was thinking about just now. Seeing the attendant who came in, the prospective imperial concubine blushed inexplicably.

"Is there something wrong, Your Excellency?"

"Dear Lord, I have just received news from the capital that His Majesty the Emperor will come to the Deco Galaxy in three days. Please prepare to be picked up."

"what?!"

On this afternoon, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Count Reichart, will discuss with all members of the cabinet on the Emperor's new decree. The previous decree to withdraw the nobility tax exemption and the rectification of the nobility pardon decree have all received unexpected results. Now, everyone in the cabinet has gradually figured out some guidelines for Soran II's actions, and it is only a matter of time before the emperor's decrees will be cautiously waited and seen to accepted without hesitation. However, before that, it is still necessary to listen to the opinions of the cabinet members. After all, the laws of the empire are not simple decorations, and the implementation of the emperor's decrees is not a simple order.

"Your Majesty's decrees during this period are all about economics and criminal law. Is Your Majesty completely satisfied with the military?"

The discussion of the new decree is just a passing scene. Marquis Gree does not care about depriving some rights and interests of old-fashioned aristocrats. Although he is also one of them, as a loyal and loyal marquis who has served the royal family for generations, he is very interested in the era of Heiny III. The benefits that people gain by being sultry and flattering are not taken seriously.

Paying taxes and acting in accordance with the law were all part of the long-standing existence of noble families, and the era of Hainy III was just a short-lived farce.

After the cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister was summoned by the emperor, and Soran Edrich seemed a little careless. Count Reichardt felt a little strange, until His Majesty the Emperor announced that he would go to the Deco galaxy for a tour in the near future, and this casualness got the answer.

Walking out of the emperor's office, Count Reichart passed the court etiquette officer who was approaching, paused, and then shook his head. His Majesty is still very young, but it's good to be young...
