Counterattack [Interstellar]

Allen looked at Admiral Balck quietly, unexpectedly calm in his heart.

"As you probably know, what Pei Xuan was doing at the time was spy work, assassination, stealing information, and recruiting people from the officers of Lestin. Of course, this is not the most important thing. What makes Emperor Lestin gnash his teeth the most is that Pei Xuan has never missed a single shot... As Auston's right-hand man and as a knight of His Majesty for many years, Pei Xuan naturally has many faults It is a place where there are people, but almost always escapes unscathed when performing missions, which is not something everyone can do." Recalling the era when most of the star field was in war, Admiral Balk sighed and shook his head Said, "Even before Admiral Pei Xuan died in the line of duty, the people in Lestin didn't know whether the spy code-named Dagger was male or female, fat or thin."

General Balck said in a low voice: "Such a person, such a person who has been on the knife's edge for seven years, do you think he will easily expose his whereabouts and be surrounded by Lestin?"

Allen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oston betrayed him."

Admiral Balck smiled wryly.

"I did think about it before. First, Auston might be afraid of Pei Xuan's meritorious deeds, so he wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge. But if this is the case, the time will not be right. After Pei Xuan's death, the war continued for another five years. Even if Auston wants to do something, it should be on the eve of the end of the war." Allen pursed his thin lips slightly, and said lightly, "And I checked, although Pei Xuan's expeditionary force was equipped with the most advanced starships and mechs in the empire at that time, But he doesn't have many pawns, far from enough to pose a threat to Auston's rule."

"Pei Xuan's role in the battle with Lestin was very important. It made Auston break this arm cruelly. There must be something more important waiting for him to exchange Pei Xuan's life..." Allen Looking at Admiral Balck, "Is that what I think?"

Balk nodded in silence for a while: "Yes."

"During the seventh year of the war with Lestin, Auston once had a major command error accident. The specific situation is no longer available. I was on the Western Front at the time and didn't know much about it. The situation is critical, and the flames of war have already reached the main line star field where Auston is located."

"Up to now, I have to say that it was a mistake from the beginning to the end to go to war with Lestin. Their star field is not as vast as ours, and there are very few star fields that need to be defended. Moreover, this kind of star thief-born nation is good at fighting in various environments. They have far more starships than ours. They are very mobile and can move their capital almost at any time. We were given the upper hand from the very beginning, so after the mainline troops were defeated, we almost retreated steadily. "

"Auston's command error exacerbated this situation. At that time, the main force of Lestin's pressure had already threatened the life of Auston on the front line. Lieutenant General Karl and I on the southern battlefield received the news. Immediately after that, we sent troops back to help, but to our surprise, we did not encounter the large force that Oston said. A few days later, the whereabouts of the expeditionary force where Admiral Pei Xuan belonged was revealed to be encircled and suppressed by the main force of Lestin. It’s just been passed on.” Mentioning this disgraceful past, Auston shook his head and said in a low voice, exhausted, “The situation at the time was very complicated, and I can’t explain many details to you. When he was killed by Lesting, Auston betrayed Pei Xuan and let Lestin reveal a lot of information about the Yuanhang Army."

Balck closed his eyes: "Emperor Lastin's eldest son was killed by Pei Xuan's gun. Can you imagine how much Emperor Lastin hated him? Lastin immediately turned around after learning that Pei Xuan's news was true. Got through, and Auston won a sliver."

"At that time, Lieutenant General Carl and I realized that Auston was going to use Pei Xuan as bait. Lieutenant General Carl had a big fight with Auston in the command room because of this. It has already happened, we have no way to recover, we can only try our best to cover up this scandal, and hope that Admiral Pei Xuan can create miracles again, but it is a pity... no matter how powerful a military genius is, he must bow his head in the face of suppressive firepower. The campaign, which dragged on for months, ended with the annihilation of the expeditionary forces."

"On the other hand, because Pei Xuan held back Lestin's main force for us, we won the other battles in the next few months with great ease."

Balk looked at Alan with a bleak smile: "Now you understand, it's normal for Auston to treat Pei Yao better than others... Another point is that Auston firmly believes that Pei Xuan will be as loyal as his father In the future, when the safety of his son is threatened, Pei Yao will do everything for the empire like his father..."

Balk sneered: "Think about what happened on the Pearl, imagine what happened on Fairy Island, Auston made the right bet again."

"Now you know everything, Alan, listen to me, don't mention this matter again, Admiral Pei Xuan was completely killed by Auston, if Pei Yao knew the truth back then..." Balk After a pause, it goes without saying, "You know the consequences."

"What are the consequences?" Allen looked up at Balk and said calmly, "Will Pei Yao break up with me because of this? Don't be kidding, it was Auston who killed Pei Xuan, what does it have to do with me?"

Admiral Balck was dumbfounded: "You..."

"Although I don't quite understand what you are worried about, I would like to clarify my position first." Alan said in a deep voice, "If Pei Yao wants to do something to Auston because of what happened back then, I will definitely not stop him. "

"We are not the star-crossed male and female protagonists in the movie, and Pei Yao is not a fool who blamed everything for revenge. Auston killed Pei Xuan. That was the grievance between Auston and Pei Xuan. Pei Yao If you want to avenge your father, it is another grievance between Pei Yao and Auston, and it has nothing to do with me from the beginning to the end." Allen smiled clearly, "Do you think I will kill him because of Pei Yao? Killing my father and then attacking Pei Yao? Killing my father-killing enemy? Hehe...don't worry, it's impossible."

"Auston betrayed Pei Xuan and the entire expeditionary force who had worked for him for many years in order to save his life. Even if he was killed, he deserved it." Allen said without any trouble, "Taking a step back, if I and Auston If father and son love each other deeply, then I may be in a dilemma because I have to protect my relatives, but obviously this situation does not exist."

There was a sneer in the corner of Alan's mouth: "My mother was ruined by him all my life, I was under house arrest by him for ten years, and then he let his mistress and illegitimate child replace me and Queen Marianne, this'great grace' I haven't repaid him yet, want me to protect him? Dreaming."

"The cause he planted, the fruit he suffered, he will suffer on his own in the future." Allen calmly drew a line with Alston, "It has nothing to do with me."

Balk was speechless for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing after a while: "I... actually think what you said is very reasonable, haha..."

Allen smiled lightly: "So your concerns don't exist, and I'm very grateful that you can tell me the truth back then."

"But do you dare to let Pei Yao know about this?" Balke restrained his smile, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Can you guarantee that Pei Yao will see it as thoroughly as you?"

Alan paused and said in a deep voice: "He will...I will let him understand."

Ai Lun suddenly smiled: "Even if it doesn't work, I still have a last resort. Did grandfather forget? I am a guide. After marrying me, Pei Yao will never have the heart to alienate me because of other people's affairs. Besides, Pei Yao is not either. The kind of people who don't know right from wrong, who like to be immersed in the doomsday atmosphere they created and can't get out."

"However... I don't want to make him sad, so please continue to keep this matter a secret from Pei Yao." Thinking of Pei Yao, Allen's heart softened, "Let him always think that his parents died fighting for the empire. "

Balk nodded: "That's natural."

Allen will be prepared for everything, and after receiving the assurance from General Balck, he said: "But in case Pei Yao knows all this in the future, please keep silent about what I have known for a long time, I am not afraid that he will know The truth of the year, but he can’t let him know that I’m also hiding it from him.”

Balk laughed, and agreed: "Okay, I will pretend that what happened today never happened."

Allen smiled: "That's good, as for Pei Yao's revenge... I will avenge him."
