Chapter 1710 The Empire Takes Action Against Circe

Claire Belmont pondered for a moment and smiled, "You're welcome. Nephi, of course, is very sympathetic and respectful of the current situation of the community."

His answer was obviously the result of professional training.

The marshal laughed in silence: "But the specific decision still needs to wait until the election is over in your country, right?"

Belmonte nodded: "It is indeed difficult for the caretaker government to make decisions on major national defense matters, but as long as the election is over, everything will be fine."

"You also need your country to be safe and sound, right?"

Belmonte continued to nod, then shook his head: "Sir, domestic safety is actually a relative concept. You actually have to believe in the power of the alliance. We can handle more than one major event at the same time."

"So, the alliance's decision on war depends on your country's subjective attitude, not objective reality, right?"

Claire Belmont looked at the Marshal who was lowering his head, looking humble and cautious, and suddenly felt that this man was actually quite interesting. He was not as mediocre as the intelligence department said. He still needed to continue observing him.

"Sir, the objective reality is that the Alliance will never sit idly by and watch the Community be annexed by the Empire."

The marshal probably believed what the other party said, or if he didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do, so he smiled and poured wine for the other party himself: "I remember that your Excellency and our Lieutenant General Yu Lian are good friends."

Claire Belmont held his head high and said in a voice that sounded as if he was swearing to the spirit of the universe: "Our friendship is absolutely indestructible, a true friend of the soul!"

"Then now..."

"It's just that his thoughts and party affiliation confused me a little, so we had a small conflict. We are competing to see who speaks first and who is the dog."

Are you elementary school students? Marshal Ferragu thought so, but he felt that if his childhood friend offended him, he might do the same.

As for Yu Lian's ideological problems... The chubby marshal shuddered, and his fat body trembled. He felt that this topic was very dangerous, much more dangerous than the current battlefield.

"In any case, Your Excellency Marshal, the team I lead is now your loyal supporter and is willing to die with you."

Marshal Fei was probably a little moved, but he also hurriedly said: "Don't say such tragic things as whether to live or not. I really want to defeat the invaders safely, end the war safely, and return home safely to teach my grandson how to cut steak. I'm not blowing your lip, Major General, the happiest time for me was when I was a cook in the Big Apple City and earned 2,000 blue coins a month."

Even with Belmont's ability to control his facial expressions, he almost broke down, but he still held back.

"My biggest dream is to reach the pinnacle of cooking. If I could get a compliment from Mr. Liu, my life would be complete! My sons are all hopeless playboys. Only my eldest grandson is willing to cook a big snail for his grandfather... General Belmonte, children who like to cook are all hopeless. What do you think?"

These words were much more sincere than before, and even Claire Belmont couldn't help but be moved.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the war will end peacefully. It won't take too long."

Marshal Ferragu gave him a meaningful look and smiled a comforting smile that only an old man could show: "Thank you very much. A young man of your status is willing to say this. I should thank you on behalf of all the people in the community."

The fleet continued on its journey.

Of course, the marshal only needs to give orders casually, and the junior officers below have a lot to consider. Don't forget that the current local fleet still has the debuff of a mob, half of the officers and soldiers are gathered from the local security fleets, which were originally the leftovers of the space fleet, and the other half are simply rookies driving new ships.

Although the method of allowing everyone to complete training through long marches is very effective and iron-blooded, even if there is really a blessing from the spirit of the universe, it is impossible to always be smooth sailing.

As a result, in the subsequent march, there were four collision accidents during the march and twelve accidental injuries during artillery drills. A light cruiser, a destroyer, three assault ships and three armed merchant ships sank in the accidents, and the number of casualties on board exceeded 3,000.

As for why there are armed merchant ships in the fleet... This certainly does not mean that the community's military ships are already stretched to the limit. We must know that when the empire's Zhechoufu are mobilized, not everyone can have a formal warship.

Armed merchant ships have always been an important part of total war. What is important is not "merchant ships" but "armaments".

In short, after all the trouble, the voyage, which was supposed to last ten days, ended up taking a whole week longer.

The only consolation was that while the opposing Circe was preparing for battle, the Chelo Fortress was still peaceful. Therefore, the New Atlantis was also peaceful.

"With such a high intensity of training, it is actually reasonable to have such casualties," said the chief of staff.

Marshal Ferragu was not comforted much, so he looked at the leader of the Alliance Volunteers, whom he trusted, and said, "Major General Belmonte, is the training over there the same?"

"It's always like this. Your Excellency, in the last century, there was a battlecruiser training accident, with more than 10,000 casualties in one go." Rear Admiral Belmont looked at everyone's expressions and added a classic Alliance Space Fleet joke.

This is what happened when a swaggering battlecruiser was conducting double-blind sublight cruise training on the high seas. The Alliance's warships are always domineering, and because there are half a ship of new recruits on board, they are even more domineering. So, when the radar was turned off and the sublight high-speed cruise was carried out, it captured a quality response from the other side and sent out an inquiry.

So there were conversations like "Get out of the way immediately!", "Please get out of the way.", "This is the Alliance battlecruiser!", "This is the gravitational wave beacon."

Marshal Ferragu laughed out loud and full of energy. Although the others thought the joke was actually ordinary, if the leader laughed and you didn't, you would be the one who laughed. As a result, the bridge of the Pegasus was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.

Therefore, the gloom cast by the frequent warship accidents was alleviated to the greatest extent. In general, the morale of this group of "rabble" was guaranteed, and the situation was still very good. However, as the fleet got closer and closer to New Atlantis, the changes on the battlefronts were constantly transmitted to Earth, and of course to the Pegasus.

"...The Imperial Fleet appeared at the New Port Arthur border in the New World? Well, this is news from April 4th! Why was it only sent today?" Marshal Ferragu slammed the table and immediately realized that he had made a stupid mistake.

After all, that is in another universe, and there is no instant communication of source matter waves, so the messages will of course be much slower.

"Many times, I still feel like I'm still living in the classical era, relying on beacon towers to send messages." Marshal Ferragu looked out the porthole at the starry sky. He was now in this huge ship that could carry him across the starry sea, but he still felt this way.

"What happened next?"

"The Imperial Fleet is temporarily stationed in New Port Arthur. Because all communication beacons in the galaxy have been destroyed, the size of the fleet cannot be determined." said the Chief of Staff.

Of course, even if it is “temporary”, it was only “temporary” two weeks ago.

"Don't be afraid. We haven't received any warning from Nan Tianmen yet. It's just a technical adjustment."

"Moreover, the main force of the Outer Fleet, which Marshal Bonaparte personally fought in! And the Gibraltar Fortress, which has been under construction since the founding of the country!"

"In fact, the General Staff has also considered the possibility of the Empire attacking our New World sector."

"Yes, I remember coming to the conclusion that... the threat was not great?"

"The threat is indeed not that great. From the Dawn Passage to the South Gate of Heaven, there are only two inhabited star systems, New Lushun and New Yumen. They are sparsely populated and do not have large-scale military and mining factories. Even the Empire's Gate of Glory star zone cannot sustain the supply of a large fleet."

The staff officers made the above judgment.

In short, although this news was a bit shocking, it was not completely beyond everyone's expectations. Marshal Ferragu still smiled kindly, he calmed everyone down and ordered the fleet to continue moving forward.

"What? An Imperial fleet appeared over there at the Bloody Gate? That place has been razed to the ground. The entire Kaitai Kingdom is also in chaos. How can the Imperial fleet get here?"

"So, it's just a reconnaissance fleet, perhaps coming here to harass?"

"So that's how it is. It's still a technical adjustment!" Marshal Ferragu smiled naturally, indicating that everything was under control, and signaled everyone to be patient and keep moving forward.

"What? The sixth Titan ship has arrived at the front line?" The marshal suddenly stood up and his smile disappeared.

"Yes, it's definitely the Archduke Tatrien! The fourth ship of the Tirrero class." The chief of staff's voice sounded a little interfering and difficult, as if he had used up all his strength just by speaking.

A Titan one level before the Four Seasons God level, an old Titan of the same level as the Tirero Yongjin. However, no matter how old a Titan is, it is still a Titan, still a top military creation, and the nightmare of all countries and races in the universe except the Alliance.

As a result, the number of Imperial Titan ships in front of the Sede Fortress reached an unprecedented six.

"The emblem of the eight-headed dragon of dawn was trampled by them in the black light of the black dwarf!" Marshal Ferragu said viciously, biting his back teeth.

Krel couldn't help but ask, "...How many troops are there in the Imperial Fleet currently gathered in the Sayde System?"

"Still counting..." The chief of staff looked pale.

In fact, he had already seen the real-time images sent from the front line, and he only saw man-made creations that blocked out the sky and almost covered all the space on the screen.

Even if he was just looking at the screen, even if he was thousands of light years away, he felt like he couldn't even breathe.

It was really hard for him to imagine how "Dawn Dragon" and his comrades could muster up the courage when facing such a scene.

…Well, it seems like someone has been overlooked, but that’s not important.

Claire reminded: "Your Excellency Marshal, perhaps the Empire's general offensive in Said is about to begin!"

"...Thank you for your reminder, Claire, thank you. However, he has actually reminded us many times in the past six months. He has long been aware of the need to keep the enemy out of the country. And we, we are three thousand light years away, and now it is our turn!" The marshal loosened the buttons on his collar and tried his best to make himself look full of courage.

He said in a deep voice: "This is a war. War requires each of us to perform our duties conscientiously! Is there any other movement in Chelo Fortress... No, Cherk Kingdom?"

"everything is normal!"

"All fleets, speed up!"

"understand!"

However, when it was May and the Pegasus and its fleet were only three days away from the New Atlantis Galaxy, the news that they were most concerned about arrived as expected.

"An Imperial fleet appeared in the Xuantuo Galaxy on the border of the Circe Kingdom? Did the Galactic Empire really take action against the Circe people?"
