broken world

On the other side of the galaxy, in the "Emperor Hotel" in Odin, the capital of the Galactic Empire, a young blond officer sat on the sofa in the lobby and looked nervously at the door. Whenever someone walked in, he would look at it seriously. For a while, then shook his head in denial.

It wasn't until a silver-white long-haired woman appeared behind the automatic door that the young officer carefully opened the 3D photo in the communicator for confirmation before stepping forward and saluting: "I am Berrenhardt von Schneider Hello, Major, are you Miss Shirley von Merkatz?"

Yang Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Schneider was younger than she imagined, this adjutant who followed the Admiral of Villibur Yuchim von Merkaz until his death, and had a decisive influence on Merkaz's life With brilliant blond hair, sky blue eyes like the clear blue sky.

After the defeat of Lipsyuddt, it was Major Schneider who persuaded Admiral Merkaz, who wanted to commit suicide, to give up suicide and flee to the Iserlohn Fortress where Yang Weili was at that time.From then on, Admiral Merkaz, as the guest admiral of the Iserlohn Fortress, led the Yang Fleet to participate in one battle after another. He used refined troops, impeccable formations, and accurate tactical thinking, and finally died in Khiva as a revolutionary army. Battle of the stars.Schneider's final whereabouts are unknown.

Yang Xiaoli's thoughts were pulled back from the memory, and the person standing in front of her was Bernhardt von Schneider: "Miss Shirley, Admiral Merkaz is still attending the regular meeting at the military headquarters, please follow me back first."

Out of courtesy, Yang Xiaoli held his hand: "Tell me the address, my luggage can be sent there directly from the universe port."

To Yang Xiaoli's surprise, the young imperial officer blushed and hesitated for a long time before explaining the address clearly.

When Yang Xiaoli walked out of the "Emperor Capital Hotel" with him, she inadvertently glanced at the glass automatic door at the entrance of the hotel. The glass reflected the figure of a silver-white long-haired beauty—silver-like long hair hanging behind her, black eyes His eyes narrowed slightly to show confusion, and the combination of his thin nose and bright red lips has a stunning beauty...

This is what Dominic said, even if Minghong stood in front of him, he would not recognize himself...

Even if my mom stood in front of me, I wouldn't be able to recognize this shit, 囧...

Just as Yang Xiaoli and Schneider walked out of the hall, Dominic, who had reddish-brown curly hair in the corner of the hall, said to the communicator, "The white bird has taken off."

Yang Xiaoli began to regret that she stopped at the entrance of the hotel for less than five seconds. Schneider's car was parked at the door, and when Schneider opened the door, Yang Xiaoli sat on the automatic door and was about to close it, pressing down on the automatic door with one hand. superior.

Yang Xiaoli looked vigilantly, and saw a strange young man with a classic obscene expression on his face, and a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Miss, you look so strange, is this your first time in Odin?"

Yang Xiaoli looked at him and said nothing. To be honest, looking at his body that was so thin that it was almost only a skeleton, he could be flattened with just one hand.But... this is not an alliance, this is the imperial capital Odin.

Before Schneider came around, the man boldly grabbed Yang Xiaoli's hand. Yang Xiaoli let out a low cry, and with the other hand, she grabbed the handrail in the car so that he could not be dragged away.

"What are you doing here? This is the daughter of First-Class Admiral Mercaz's family!" Shouted Schneider.

Hearing Merkaz's name, the man hesitated for a moment, but he didn't let go of Yang Xiaoli's hand, but turned to hold that hand, which was comparable to ivory artwork, and kissed: "So it's Miss Mercaz, I blame you for being rude to me because of her beauty, and I am the nephew of Marquis Lidenheim, Earl Leforsos, and I look forward to seeing you again." Count Chrisland Leforsos said Let go.

Yang Xiaoli withdrew her hand and closed the car door as quickly as possible, and Schneider felt the car start to get on the ground and left.

Sitting in the car, Yang Xiaoli asked with lingering fear: "Have you heard of Lefusos? Major Schneider."

"Miss Shirley can just call me Belen, I'm just a subordinate of Miss Shirley's father." Schneider looked worried.

Faced with his deliberate evasion and refusal to answer, the uneasiness in Yang Xiaoli's heart was like an undercurrent deep under the surface of a lake, stirring with fear...

For some reason, she remembered that Dominic told her that Shirley von Merkaz had died in a heat-seeking missile in a military exercise, and she felt that Dominic was lying to her.So, how did Shirley von Merkaz die?Or that she didn't die at all, but was hidden by the Feisha people?

Yang Xiaoli had no way of knowing.At this moment, she looked out of the car window. Aristocratic manors stood on the most prosperous main road in Odin. How many sins were hidden under the beautiful appearance, perhaps even the owner of the manor did not know.

The car on the ground drove into a slightly narrow street. There were high-rise apartment buildings and low-rise buildings along the street. The car finally stopped in front of a two-story bungalow.With the wood-like exterior walls and white window sills, Yang Xiaoli smiled unconsciously: living in such a house must feel like home.

Speaking of home, Huberion feels more at home than Henison’s kennel-like dormitory for single officers... Admiral Merkaz’s final battle was Huberion. fate?

Yang Xiaoli walked into the house thinking this way, the living room is not too big, but it is clean and tidy, the daylight is warm on the sofa, Yang Xiaoli sat on it without thinking, Schneider glanced at her, Yang Xiaoli seemed to be reflexive Stand up: "I'm sorry, I... should have asked for permission first."

Schneider replied: "What did Miss Shirley say? This is the lady's home. Except for the admiral's study, the lady can go to any room."

While the two were talking, an old lady with a benevolent face came in with a cup of coffee. She introduced herself as Mrs. Crocker. Together with her husband, Mr. Crocker, she helped Admiral Mercaz Take care of this house.

"When I heard that Miss Shirley would come to live with the admiral, the admiral was in a very good mood these days," Mrs. Crocker said.

Yang Xiaoli smiled guiltyly, took a sip of coffee, the sweet liquid fell into her stomach, Yang Xiaoli began to regret, and asked instead: "Admiral... I mean father, when will you be back?"

Schneider looked at the time on the communicator: "It's almost time, I'll pick up the admiral, Miss Shirley, see you."

"See you later." After Yang Xiaoli said this, she put her hand to her mouth and yawned.

"Miss, are you tired from the journey? Do you want to go upstairs to rest?"

Yang Xiaoli nodded, Mrs. Crooke led Yang Xiaoli upstairs, opened a room for Yang Xiaoli to rest, Yang Xiaoli fell asleep on the bed before seeing the layout of the room...

When will I get rid of this habit of falling asleep after drinking coffee?Yang Xiaoli thinks...

When she woke up, the room was pitch black. Yang Xiaoli stroked the position of the clock on the communicator, and the clock chimed "seven minutes past eight."

It's past dinner time, does that mean that we won't be able to see Admiral Mercaz until tomorrow?

That’s right, it’s a day to escape one day.

Yang Xiaoli rubbed her head, opened the door and walked out. When she went down the stairs, she heard someone talking in the living room. Yang Xiaoli slowed down and walked slowly step by step...

The headlights in the living room were bright, Schneider was sitting on a small sofa talking, and another man was also sitting on the couch wearing an Imperial Army uniform. Seeing Yang Xiaoli walking down, the two stopped talking.

Can't escape, which daughter would avoid her father's gaze.

Yang Xiaoli plucked up the courage to look directly at the first-class general of the Imperial Army, Velibur Juhim von Merkaz, known as "the last veteran of the Gordonbaum Dynasty", who was about 50 years old, The hairstyle is as meticulously combed back as a typical British gentleman I have seen before, and a small mustache grows on his mouth.

"Father... Father." Yang Xiaoli called softly.

At this moment, Merkaz's tense expression also relaxed, he waved and said, "Shirley, come and sit, Dad hasn't seen you for a long time."

Yang Xiaoli walked over cautiously and sat down beside Merkaz.

Schneider saw that the two were too nervous, so he had to try his best to reconcile the atmosphere and said: "The admiral just said that the last time I saw Miss Shirley, she was only three years old, and now she has suddenly become a big beauty. In this way, I Go pick up the three-dimensional photo album of Miss when she was a child and take a look."

Schneider got up and left, Yang Xiaoli felt very cramped and didn't know where to put her hands.Although in her impression, Merkaz is a person who is impeccable in both character and military use.However, it would be a bit embarrassing for her to be called the father of a first-rank general of the empire by a lieutenant general of the alliance.

Besides, she wasn't his daughter at all, his daughter...

Mrs. Crocker interrupted the embarrassment between the father and daughter at the right time, "Miss Shirley snoozes and missed dinner. I have prepared some food. Do you want to eat?"

Yang Xiaoli nodded, turned her head carefully and asked Merkaz, "Father...do you want to eat some too?"

Merkaz looked at her lovingly, full of unspeakable joy: "No need."

The first night with Admiral Merkaz was spent looking at a three-dimensional photo album while eating.

After Yang Xiaoli yawned and went upstairs to rest on the pretext of being sleepy, Schneider looked at her back and asked his superior, "How does the admiral feel?"

Merkaz took a big sip: "I'm still nervous. It's ridiculous to say it. I'm more nervous when I get along with my own daughter than when I'm on the bridge to command operations."

Schneider smiled: "That's because the father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, and they will get better after getting along for a long time. By the way, I have to report one thing to the admiral."

"what's up?"

"Miss Shirley met a man who claimed to be the Earl of Leforsos at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Hotel."

Hearing this, Merkaz's face darkened: "Is that the nephew of Marquis Lidenheim, Earl Chrislan Leforsos?"

Schneider: "It's probably him."

"That person's reputation can be said to be notorious among the nobles." Merkaz said worriedly, "How could Shirley have anything to do with him?"

Count Chrisland Lefusos wantonly snatched beautiful commoner women to play with them and killed them from time to time, but because his uncle was the Marquis of Lidenheim, a great nobleman, the Ministry of Justice had absolutely nothing to do with him...

"It seems that Shirley should go out as little as possible during this time. Schneider, you should put down your work and follow her. Don't let her be alone."

Even though he is a first-class general with outstanding military feats, but without a powerful background of aristocrats, Merkaz is still worried that his daughter's beauty will bring her a catastrophe.

Unlike her father, who was worried about her daughter, Yang Xiaoli couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed after returning to her room.

In fact, she wasn't sleepy just now, but she really couldn't adapt to this father who fell from the sky, so she lied that she was sleepy and went to bed.

She didn't understand what Dominic and Rubinski's real purpose was to send her to Merkaz's side, but if she had to choose to escape or stay, she would rather stay with Merkaz's side.

The sudden death of Emperor Frederick IV of the Galactic Empire forced Reinhardt to temporarily shift his strategic focus to Odin. The camp headed by the duke is supported by lower-ranking officers and civilians, and the camp of powerful nobles headed by the Duke of Blanchebeck-Marquis Lidenheim.

Velibur Uhim von Merkaz originally did not belong to any of the aforementioned camps, but the vicious witch of fate obviously refused to let him go.

According to the development of time, in less than a month, the Duke of Blanchebeck will come to the door in person and ask Merkaz to be the commander-in-chief of the Lipseudart Covenant.

The defeat of the old aristocrats was already expected. The Weistat massacre pushed the Duke of Blanchebeck to a dead end. However, during the celebration ceremony, Brigadier General Ansenbach, the loyal subordinate of the Duke of Blanchebeck, intended to assassinate Reinhardt. Ansenbach shot and killed Reinhardt in his desperate attempt to protect Reinhardt...

This is a big turning point in the whole book.

Yang Weili once said that if the alliance and the empire are to build a bridge of coexistence, Gilphiaes is an indispensable link.

The bond was shattered, and Reinhardt was completely plunged into the abyss of emptiness and despair. There were cruel and ruthless personnel transfers and wars of conquest. Reinhardt just wanted to anesthetize his painful soul through endless wars.

The moment the fighting stopped was the moment the golden lion flag fell...

Therefore, Jillfies is the key.

As Shirley von Merkaz, stay beside Admiral Merkaz, try to send a letter to Gilfies to stop the massacre in Weistat, and then protect Gilfies from dying during the ceremony.

The peaceful bond between the League and the Empire would not have been shattered.

After thinking about this, Yang Xiaoli felt that she was really sleepy, so she tucked in the quilt and got ready to sleep.

At this moment, there was a faint sound outside the door.

Yang Xiaoli quickly adjusted her breathing, she was better at pretending to sleep than anyone else.

The automatic door opened and a person walked in.

Is it Mercaz?

Yang Xiaoli could only guess with her eyes closed.

The pace is steady and powerful, it should be Merkaz.Yang Xiaoli's first thought.

What is he here for?Yang Xiaoli's second thoughts.

Even if it is a father, it would be rude to come to his daughter's room so late.Yang Xiaoli's third thought.

In fact, Merkaz just stood by the bed for a long time, and Yang Xiaoli could feel his eyes falling on her face, with anxiety and... sigh?

"Little Shirley has grown up." The middle-aged admiral finally said softly.

After speaking, he walked out of the room.

Yang Xiaoli's nose was unbelievably sore.
