broken world

The "Rose Knight Company" was founded by the imperial nobles of the alliance in exile. Six of the previous captains fled back to the empire, so that they could not die. Alfred's father was one of them.

"So now you can understand why my application for retirement was passed so smoothly, Mr. Mingchen." The young man with chestnut hair and purple eyes said in a self-deprecating tone.

Although he knew it was not an easy topic.

Surrendering to the enemy on the battlefield is a big taboo for every soldier, so even though Alfred Roland performed well in the army, he still couldn't obtain the rank and status that matched his abilities.

When Alfred was disappointed, that person found himself and made a promise that "if you successfully complete the task, you can do what you like in the future".

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

Since you can't display your ambitions in the army, let's live a peaceful pastoral life away from the battlefield.

This is Alfred Roland's plan.

It doesn't matter if he is passive and avoids the world, he is such a character.

Merkaz, who was listening on the sidelines, showed a helpless smile: "Speaking of which, I have changed hands for the second time, from the Duke of Blanchebeck to Royan Kram, and then to..."

"Admiral!"

"Father!"

The two calls came from Schneider and Yang Xiaoli respectively. Compared with Schneider's natural expression, Yang Xiaoli covered her mouth in embarrassment.

She is purely accustomed to nature.

"There's nothing wrong with calling it that." Schneider muttered in a low voice.

Yang Xiaoli secretly glanced at Merkaz, she felt relieved when she saw that he didn't show any disgust or other emotions, but when she recalled the battle of Lipsyuddt, she still felt uneasy in her conscience.

In order to be able to save Weistat smoothly, she couldn't pull Mercaz into Reinhardt's camp at first, but later, the Duke of Blanchebeck forced Mercaz to submit because of her.

On the whole, it is equivalent to her disguised form that led to the life of this empire veteran Duo Jie.

So anyway, she owed Mercaz an apology.

"Sorry, it's because of me that you have to join the United Noble Army..."

Knowing that she was talking about the fact that the Duke of Blanchebeck used her as a threat to join the Noble United Army before the Battle of Lipshoudt, but Mercaz didn't take this matter to heart, but said: "Actually, thanks to Only by standing on the side of the powerful and nobles at that time can we have a chance to prevent the Weistat massacre."

Alfred showed a surprised expression: "Are you talking about the fact that the aristocrats sent a fleet carrying thermonuclear weapons to attack Weistat?"

Schneider explained from the side: "Yes, in the city of vultures at that time, although the admiral knew about the mad plan of the Duke of Blanche, he was powerless to stop it. On the contrary, Shirley... escaped from the city of vultures at the risk of death. Go, and reveal the plan of the Duke of Blanche to Lord Gilfies, who is still a first-class admiral. The latter led the fleet to successfully destroy the thermonuclear fleet of the Noble United Army. Afterwards, Miss Shirley was afraid that revealing her identity would give Admiral Mercaz brought adverse effects, so I asked His Excellency Gilfies to come forward and take all the credit."

Alfred showed a surprised expression, but he did not question the authenticity of this matter, but asked: "Why did you do this? Isn't the empire and the alliance... still in the period of war?"

"This has nothing to do with our positions. Even if the two armies go to war, there is no need to hurt innocent people. I just did what I should do. Whether it is Shirley von Merkaz or Yang Xiaoli, they have the obligation Get this thing done."

Alfred held his forehead and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something even more outrageous: "Then at the victory ceremony of Vulture City, you also saved Gilfies and Royan Klam?"

As a general of the Allied Army, there is absolutely no reason to sacrifice his life to rescue two heavyweights who are at the top of the enemy camp.

If those two died together and the imperial army was in chaos, wouldn't the alliance have a better chance to attack the empire on a large scale?

"This……"

Ming Chen, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, began to speak: "Ahem, it's very complicated to say, Ansenbach's target is actually the blond boy, who knows that the red-haired boy rushed to him desperately, so I shot first under the balance. Killed Ansenbach, the red-haired boy was almost dead in my opinion, and when I re-targeted the blond boy, someone oh...blocked my gun."

"Why?" Alfred asked, and even Merkaz and Schneider showed the same inquiring eyes.

"Compared to Duke Lidenrad, who was born in a powerful family and aristocrat, Rohenkram is more suitable to be the leader who will push history into a new era. Although Reinhard von Rohenkram has a militant nature, he The internal affairs reforms promoted undoubtedly brought good news to the people of the empire to a large extent. I cannot allow him to die because of my own or temporary selfish desires, and let the empire fall into deeper civil strife. This is my thought at the time. Frankly speaking, although as a Confederate soldiers, but they have to take responsibility for the entire history, and they cannot arbitrarily change the general direction of history just because of personal likes and dislikes."

After saying this, everyone in the cabin fell into deep thought for a long time.

After a while, Ming Chen, who was not forgiving, said again: "What about now? If that blond boy appeared in front of you again, would you still be able to suppress your hatred and let him go?"

After about half a minute, she replied: "I can't guarantee it. But I don't think there will be that day."

Interstellar travel is boring, and in order to avoid the cruising route of the regular fleet of the Imperial Army, this fleeing merchant ship chose to take a long route, so it was not until twelve days later that the five-star region of Arreat appeared on the monitoring screen of the merchant ship.

"This is also Minghong's masterpiece." Yang Xiaoli said looking at the distant star field outside the cabin.

Ming Chen took a sip of his coffee, hesitant to speak, and finally made up his mind and said, "Ming Hong...he really got angry this time."

Yang Xiaoli showed a puzzled expression.

"He was still wavering between peace and hegemony, but now he seems to be determined to compete with that blond boy."

"You mean?"

"Admiral Xiao Wei, commander of the fortress of Vitumetze and commander of the resident fleet, has been ordered to prepare for war. The alliance is likely to use Vitumetuse as a base to launch a second expedition to the empire."

Yang Xiaoli didn't speak, and Ming Chen continued: "It seems that what I said is not wrong at all. Green Hill is Ming Hong's 'Gilfies'. At first, I didn't understand why Ming Hong sent me so far away. Sent to the territory of the empire to rescue the red-haired kid. But by now, I understand everything."

Yang Xiaoli bowed her head and did not speak, playing with the bandage that wrapped her injured palm, unwrapping it and wrapping it again, wrapping it and unwrapping it...

Ming Chen had already left at some point, and when Alfred came to get coffee, he saw the movements in her hands.

"Need help?" said the chestnut-haired officer with purple eyes.

Yang Xiaoli shook her head.Just when the chestnut-haired officer turned to pour coffee, the female general of the alliance tore off the bandage in her hand, looked at the circular scar in her palm like a crater on the surface of a planet, and said, "This wound was left by you. Go ahead, Alfred."

Although this sentence itself has a slightly questionable tone, Alfred does not feel that there are uncertain factors in the questioner himself.

"It's me." Officer Lifa answered briefly.

"From Irene's cemetery all the way to Rodriga Hospital, Captain Roland, what is your purpose? Can you tell me?"

"This... can I reserve the right not to say it?"

Yang Xiaoli smiled, but that smile had something special in Alfred's eyes.

She got it.

With the wisdom of the alliance's number one wise general, how could he fail to see through his suspicious identity...

But then the female general of the alliance known as "Miracle Yang" said something that even Alfred found incomprehensible.

"No matter what your purpose is, in short, Alfred, since you saved my life, it is necessary for me to take responsibility for you. Therefore, whether it is an order or a request, I I hope you can join the Fourth Fleet as an adjutant."

"Adjutant?" Alfred narrowed his eyes: "Whose adjutant?"

As far as he knew, generals who were at least above the rank of admiral of the fleet were generally eligible to have independent adjutants.

Walter von Schenkob? "Rose Knight Company" does not seem to be the first to assign a captain with an adjutant...

"It's my adjutant."

Alfred's amethyst-like eyes suddenly widened: "Why? Shouldn't an unknown person like me be detained immediately after getting off the ship?"

"That's because—" she draws her tune, looking at the sea of ​​stars outside the cabin with almost godlike compassion, "I need someone who can kill me."
