The major general's trumpet is my white moonlight [Interstellar]

At the same time, in the third sector, the mecha depot of the military headquarters.

"I used to sail the fleet, the major probably didn't know me."

"You are..." Santa frowned, looking at the uninvited guest leaning against the abandoned mecha, his eyes were full of suspicion, and after seeing the face clearly, his heart tightened violently.

That ugly face seemed to be rooted in the darkness and twisted and grown. For a moment, Santa felt that he was facing a mirror.

Ye Lan jumped off the mecha, and looked back at him calmly: "Five years ago, the commander and I were attacked in the Unbounded Zone, and the fleet was almost wiped out. I am a survivor."

"Really? That's good." Santa was slightly taken aback, and quickly realized that there was no shock or joy in his tone, but a little more guard.

long silence.

Darkness is a deep, bottomless pit that hides unknown secrets.Looking at each other, each has their own thoughts.

"Has the major been okay these past few years?" Ye Lan was the first to break the silence.

"Very good," Santa paused, clasped his fingers imperceptibly, and couldn't help asking, "You have always been in the Federation? The military department checked the death toll of the expedition fleet back then, and found no other survivors."

"Not here." The moment Ye Lan said these words, Ye Lan vaguely felt that the person on the other side was relieved, as if a thorn hidden in his heart had been pulled out.

Ye Lan paused, paying attention to the expression on his face, and deliberately added: "I was injured too badly, and my mech was damaged, so I never had the chance to return to the Federation."

As he said that, he reached out and touched his face, and smiled indifferently: "It's a bit ugly, it's burned, don't mind too much."

"So you—you have only returned to the Federation not long ago?" Santa's tone eased a lot, "Then why did you come to the armor library?"

Ye Lan didn't answer, but cast her gaze into the depths of the darkness: "Where is the Zhanshen?"

"The God of War?" Santa was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at his eyes with vigilance, "Although the commander of the God of War was involved in the design, it is a starship serving the Undead Legion after all, and has nothing to do with the long-distance fleet. You ask the God of War What do you do?"

"I heard that five years ago, the evidence of treason by the chief was conclusive, and the military department found the communication evidence of the Imperial Army in Aurora." Ye Lan answered irrelevantly.

"Yes," Santa nodded, frowning, "What do you want to say?"

"Do you believe it too?" Ye Lan asked calmly.

"I...Of course not." Santa's eyes dodged for a moment, his fingers were clenched and then released, his voice was low and hoarse, "It's just that the evidence is conclusive..."

"Then do you know that since the Ares was designed by the chief, there is a unique communication channel between Aurora and Ares?"

"You..." Obviously didn't expect him to know so much, Santa was obviously startled, looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled, "I've heard of it. So, do you want to reverse the case for the chief? In this case , I’ll show you the God of War.”

Santa stretched out his hand and pointed to an empty field in the distance: "It's been there for five years, and no one has touched it."

Ye Lan followed his gaze, and saw the huge interstellar warship standing quietly in the depths of the darkness, silently enduring the neglect and forgetfulness for five years.

Even though he was scarred and scarred, his heroic posture remained the same.

In the center of the outer wall of the calm black battleship, the golden holy crusade emblem shines brightly, silently revealing its former status.

"Can you see it?" Santa went up to the deck along the [-]-meter-high gangway of the battleship, and turned on the lighting system of the command cabin. "Over the years, almost no one has been here. I thought it could be retired quietly. I didn’t expect that the military department would propose to dismantle the Ares to arm new warships.”

There were obvious scorched marks in the cockpit, and even the mind control system was severely damaged. Ye Lan stretched out her hand and slowly stroked the ugly scars on the mind connection device. Her fingertips seemed to be able to travel back many years, feeling The scorching temperature at that time.

"That's the scar left by the Revenant of the Empire." Noticing Ye Lan's actions, Santa could probably guess what he was thinking, and took the initiative to explain, "Due to illegal operations, the internal damage of the Ares has been very serious Yes, especially the mind control system, which has been completely destroyed. The Zhanshen fell into a long sleep, and even if Aurora really transmitted any message, there is no way to open it."

"Illegal operation? What's going on?" Ye Lan turned around in surprise and cast a questioning look at Santa.

Santa frowned, but he didn't mean to hide it. After all, these things are not a secret in the military department: "When the long-distance fleet was performing missions in the unbounded area, the two elite teams of Major General Duan and the Undead Legion happened to be nearby. It is said that he suddenly received an order from the military department and came to rescue us, but he did not expect to encounter the ambush of the Imperial Undead Fleet when he went there, and that is how the God of War suffered."

Duan Jing received news from the military department?

"This doesn't explain anything," Santa said calmly, as if he knew what he was thinking, "The matter is far more complicated than you and I imagined. According to Major General Duan, he only went to rescue him after receiving news from the military department. , but the military department's attitude towards the officer is very tough, and with Song Cheng's confession, the military department's conviction of the officer is almost instantaneous. I have always suspected that Major General Duan knew something that other people did not know, maybe as you said He said that he had received the news from Aurora to the Zhanshen, but although Major General Duan had doubts about the treason of the Ye family, he never provided any evidence to the military, including all those who were skeptical about the Ye family back then, All the same. Do you know what that might mean?"

Ye Lan met his eyes and felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly realized what Santa wanted to say.

"It means that the judgment about the Ye family is very likely to be acquiesced by the high-level military. The evidence is actually not important," Santa sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "The Zhanshen has been completely destroyed. It’s been a long time, and the matter of the Ye family is a foregone conclusion, and it’s not something you and I can change. Since you used to be a member of the Expeditionary Fleet, you can come to me if you need anything in Capital Star.”

"By the way, don't go to Chief Sang Sa, he has a bad temper these years, maybe it's the menopause," Santa said in a low voice, "You can just find me, and I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you." Ye Lan didn't say much.

"By the way, where do you live now?"

Ye Lan looked at him for a while, then asked with a smile: "I just returned to Capital Star, and I don't have a place to live yet, can you arrange one for me?"

"No problem," Santa agreed without saying a word, "give me your identity information."

"I don't have any identity information," Ye Lan explained, noticing the slight change in Santa's face, "I smuggled into Capital Planet."

Santa didn't ask in detail: "Okay, then how can I contact you?"

Ye Lan left him an unfamiliar number that no one knew.

"Okay, write it down." After getting Ye Lan's contact information, Santa looked up, "Let's go first. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Ye Lan turned and left, not noticing the complicated look in Santa's eyes behind her.

As soon as he touched the door of the command cabin, Ye Lan sensed a familiar smell. He suddenly realized that someone was outside!

But even though his body would subconsciously resist the smell, the smell stretched along the nerves and groped into the depths of memory.

It is the rich and mellow aroma that can only be found in wine. Because of the deliberate restraint, it presents a kind of tenderness that touches the heartstrings. It is not as pungent as those spirits, but it is mixed with the unique sweetness of champagne, forcing him to relax his guard.

Before he could retract his fingers, he heard a beep, and the door of the command cabin opened automatically.

Oops……

Ye Lan's heart sank, and when she raised her head, she was caught off guard by a pair of ice blue pupils.
