Him and their stars.

Rimworld, a space continent temporarily numbered RW114.Looking from space orbit, this should be a flat grassland-like land, dotted with inland seas, lakes and rivers of different sizes.

Brigadier General Yeager Soback, wearing a coat of arms, stepped on the lawn carefully, every step trembling as if stepping into a minefield.He carried an anti-materiel sniper cannon and a disintegrating shock spear on his back, a Vulcan cannon in his hand, and an atomic light spear and an elastic slingshot with ion salt bombs hung on the weapon rack at his waist.

Just looking at the weapons on this guy, it is estimated that the general flagship jumped to charge after a fleet decisive battle.

However, the signal fed back to him by his emblem machine sensor is clearly showing that he is indeed stepping on an ordinary grass.However, the terminal of the emblem machine is also reminding itself that the temperature, humidity and air quality here are in a very perfect balance state, which is very suitable for human life and habitation.

Beside him, several marines had already opened the visors on their helmets, trying to use their nasal cavities to touch the air here, and then they all showed relaxed and happy expressions.

"The air here is sweet, right?" Sobaek glanced at these guys angrily.

Of course his soldiers could, and they did, with his approval.However, as a seasoned and excellent commander, he must not be so capricious.

If it weren't for the dome in the sky that almost unreservedly reflected the deep sky and the light of the stars, he would even think that he was standing on the ground of a planet.

He raised his head slightly, and looked towards the end of the field of vision where the green lawn extended.There, there is no familiar majestic horizon, let alone mountains protruding from the horizon, but only a curve can be seen.The earth is accompanied by such a curve, and it is directly tilted up in everyone's field of vision.The seemingly infinite land almost extended along with the human line of sight, until it was disturbed by the simulated sunlight, and could no longer be seen clearly.

All of the above are understandable.After all, the land you are on now is really not the surface of the planet, but a ring-shaped part, which is naturally curved in a small arc facing the direction of the stars.

To be honest, such a scene is still very impactful to creatures growing on the surface of the planet.

However, Sobaek expressed his calmness. After all, he is also an old military officer who has experienced many battles. He has traveled through thousands of galaxies and lived and lived in space buildings for a long time.There is one thing to say, dome-like space cities are naturally the mainstream, but cylindrical space buildings are not uncommon.

For example, when he served in the colonial star area, the star area security command was built on this kind of space city, and he has also lived and worked in this barrel-shaped space for a long time.

To put it bluntly, compared with most space cities, this ring world is nothing more than a huge scale.

Sobaek said to himself.Only by comforting himself in this way can he barely move his feet under the shock of such a magnificent spectacle.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look angrily at the excited subordinates beside him.These simple-minded embryo killers are thick-skinned, so they can naturally jump like ducks in such a grand scene.At this moment, he was still very envious of this simple happiness.

"So! I don't understand. After all, I am also an admiral of the squadron. Why should I do this kind of exploration work?"

"Hahaha, because almost all the star knights and psykers staying here have been mobilized. After all, until now, the Great Khan of the Predator has not been caught!" Viscount Serlu's hearty voice came Came from the headset.

"Besides, the fleet is in orbit anyway, and there won't be any war for a while now. The war probably won't be fought."

Now, the star knight lady is leading another team, and is also advancing and exploring at a place five kilometers away from Sobaek.

"Why are you so persistent? We have experienced two cosmic decisive battles in the past six months. The Marauders have sunk more than ten giant flamethrowers and motherships, and even their general flagship has been turned into wreckage. Who knows Was she vaporized by a beam of light in that battle." Sobaek shrugged.

In the historical records, there are more or less such celebrities who "disappeared" on the battlefield and have never been heard from since then.

"No way, we can't find witnesses to confirm the death of the Great Khan. So, this kind of search attack will continue for at least a year." Serlu said.

In fact, after a year of searching the mountains and seas of the entire galaxy, there is still an infinite time and permanent investigation by the intelligence system.It is estimated that only when the natural lifespan of the Eero people reaches the peak, they will relax a little bit.

Of course, having said that, the coalition soldiers on the front line have actually relaxed, and there are not a few people who think about Sobaek like this.The reason why the empire dispatched all the psykers and most of the land troops on the front line is that only about one-third of them are looking for people, and the rest are continuing to explore the ring world.

There are tens of thousands of continents hung on the world's greatest and largest Enlightened Creation, but currently there are less than twenty that can be directly accessed.

As for the rest of the continent, it is surrounded by a transparent dome that looks like a top-grade crystal, but it is perfectly round, and there is no way to see how it can enter and exit.Even the silver mechanical structure that supports the entire continent is like a layer of flowing mercury, without any bumps or ups and downs, and there is no way to find the entrance.

It's not that Leng Touqing thought about blasting the dome away with shelling, or using an assault landing craft to make an orbital landing, but of course it was stopped by a mature and prudent person.

Later, someone made this suggestion: "I have an immature idea. Perhaps, we can only explore the known maps first, and we must meet certain conditions in the process before we can open the following."

"Is this some kind of video game?"

"What about games? Do you have any other suggestions?"

Well, at least for now, everyone really can't find another feasible solution, so they really have to explore one by one.

In fact, it seems to be so.After four months of exploring and exploring on known known continents, farming and farming, a new continental plate was opened.

That is a plate located on the "boundary line" between the empire and the community (conventional), and this is the so-called continent RW114.

Until now, there are still different opinions on how this continent appeared and how it was opened, but what is certain is that since it is a new continent, the most capable explorers must be selected.

As for Brigadier General Yeager Soback, as a disciple of the Duke of Sadulan, a cutting-edge general who has attracted much attention during the Great Expedition, his extraordinary intuition has also received praise from everyone.Such a talent, of course, must be a member of the exploration team.

The exploration work is heavy, but everyone's morale has been high.The soldiers of the empire felt that such a relic of the Enlightened One, which can be called a cosmic wonder, did not know how many secrets and relics of ancient civilizations were hidden.

Most of the trophies must be handed over to the central government of the empire first, but after all, they are the frontline fighters who carry out the specific execution. If only a little bit is cut off, it is enough for a lifetime.

This is equivalent to playing a game to open up a new map. Even if there is a certain risk of life, it is not worth mentioning compared with the huge expected income.

However, Sobaek himself did not feel any empathetic excitement at all, but just felt noisy.

His intuition once again told himself that if he was still staying in this new continent to transfer to the rear to manage logistics, I am afraid that there would really be no hope.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been on the ship all this time. Is there any official letter from the Generalissimo's Mansion to our fleet these days?" Sobaek asked as he continued to move forward.

After fighting the last battle, he carefully sent a transfer application to the country.But now half a year has passed, but there has been no movement.

"Official letter?" Miss Sellu sorted out the priority order, and said in a congratulatory tone: "Captain Hongshan's application for retirement has been approved, and he will enjoy the treatment of brigadier general at the special promotion level and be awarded the title of knight of Emperor Zuo. It can be passed on for three generations. .”

Sobaek nodded: "That's great. In this way, the three generations of the old captain's grandchildren can be regarded as nobles of the empire."

Moreover, if his descendants did not make any serious mistakes, they would all be upright citizens of the empire.For an old sailor of the Chiyan people, this is the consummation of merit and virtue.

Coincidentally, the old captain had already returned to China to recuperate last year.This time, he didn't even need to go back to the front line, and he might go home to retire with the general's treatment and title.

"Captain Hongshan sent us information about his hometown ranch. He said that he will invite all the comrades on the ship to go fishing there when it is taken care of."

"Hehe, don't be ridiculous, did that old catfish think that I knew him for the first time? He will definitely charge for board and lodging by then, and let us advertise his ranch!" Sobaek yelled With a sound, he said again: "...Is there anything else?"

"The Third Imperial Guard Fleet has left the Dawn Star Domain and is preparing to return home. However, it was attacked by pirates on the way."

"...Pirates? Attacking a guard fleet?" Sobaek suddenly felt that the news was charged with unscrupulous surreal elements: "Isn't this equivalent to me attacking Yu... Well, the name of the company Can't even mention God's Chosen Champion?"

"Your Excellency, you shouldn't have said that! Compared with that evil star who can't even mention his name, you just started a little late. Even he admits that you are his old enemy. I believe that one day, you will definitely You can stand upright in front of him. No, one day, you must be his nemesis!"

I feel that one day, I will be hanged to the guillotine by you.Sobaek was indignantly speechless for a while.

Viscountess Cellu also seemed to feel that she was a little too excited, so she coughed and said: "It is true that the military magazine said so. The Third Fleet of the Imperial Guard encountered pirates on the New Continent Highway. They were nearby A deep-space listening station is left behind, and the defense of the New Continental Highway to the Dawn Pass will be handed over to the fleets of the allies."

Sobaek suddenly felt quite curious: "We are trying to reduce the size of the front-line fleet, but the troops of the allies are still so energetic. It is really admirable!"

"This is the result of the self-recommendation of the Prince Kaitai Scarlet Mane. He said that the Kaitai Kingdom is also willing to take some responsibilities and obligations for the safety and future of the galaxy. Now, our allies maintain on the New Continent Highway, including a Dreadnought There is no need for us to pay military expenses for the fleet including the four battle cruisers. I heard that they are going to the glory colony star area to replenish, and they all pay in cash."

"Dreadnoughts and battlecruisers... Is it to fight pirates or sea monsters?" Sobaek was shocked when he heard it, but it was not something he should care about after all, so he said again: "Uh, what then? Just Is there no other official letter? For example, about the appointment and dismissal of personnel?"

"Really, there are two letters in total." The Viscountess giggled.

Sobaek suddenly felt overjoyed, and then said helplessly: "Then you should have said it sooner? You should have said it earlier. Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Because I just received it 5 minutes before I left the Blizzard today." Cellu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all good news. One of them is about you, and the other is about the fleet. Which one should I listen to first?"

Intuition told Soback that what Miss Sellu said was good news, but it might not be true for him.However, if you don't listen to it at this time, it will look particularly suspicious.

"In recognition of your achievements in the war, you will receive a Great Wing Volley Medal, the rank of a knight of Youde."

Tsk, the medal sounds good, if you are a citizen, you can use it for tax exemption.But the problem is, no matter how poor labor and management are, they are still nobles.On the contrary, the rank of knight has been promoted, and the offering can get an extra share.

"Then, you will be officially conferred the title of Viscount Pandya, and you will have a fief."

Sobaek really wanted to be happy, but for some reason, he couldn't be happy.

"You still belong to the 4th Imperial Guard Fleet, and you are the admiral of the 7th Patrol Squadron. However, under your direct command, there will be two more Fiery Wing-class light cruisers and one Tianma-class heavy cruiser."

"..."

"Are you too happy to speak?"

"No, I need to take it easy and clear my mind." Sobaek took a deep breath, and suddenly found that his dream flew away with flapping wings.

"So, there is another one?"

"Captain Hongshan is gone, and the new captain of the Blizzard is Lieutenant Colonel Bar Pegsay." Ms. Seilu guessed that the other party must not know this person, so she added: "It's Royal Space Fleet Academy 825 The No.3 graduate of this year, served as the captain of a destroyer, and has been working in the Generalissimo's Mansion since then. He has successively served in the Service Department, the Foreign Affairs Reception Section, and the Staff Department, and he is highly rated in all jobs."

Sobaek said "Oh": "This Lieutenant Colonel Pegsay sounds like an all-rounder! Well, it would be even better if he could get along with Laohong like Laohong."

"Anyone who has worked in the foreign affairs reception room must be an easy-going type," Viscount Serlu said.

She pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "...Your Excellency, are we really going to back down?"

Sobaek was slightly taken aback, and then understood what the other party meant.He personally thinks that if the higher-ups really make some concessions, it is not entirely a bad thing, and it may make the empire's international image more flexible.What's more, even if we take ten thousand steps back, people on earth will definitely not have the appetite to eat this ring and the Dawn Star Domain, so why not really let go of all grievances and develop together?

Before he could think of how to answer the other party, a warning sound came from the headset.

"Your Excellency, straight ahead, in the direction of 12 o'clock, at a distance of 3000, the enemy is found... a signal from a non-own emblem machine is found!"
