Him and their stars.

Chapter 559 The closed crystal city
Your Highness?Well, strictly speaking, the so-called royal nobles can actually be honored as His Highness.The Chenxi Dynasty has been in existence for more than two thousand years. Even if you don't count those Luse who have been reduced to the civil class, there may be tens of thousands.

However, generally speaking, even if you were born into the royal family, if you are only a viscount baron or even a low-ranking knight or something, you should be ashamed to call yourself "His Royal Highness".

In short, according to the conventions of the aristocratic society of the empire, in ceremonial occasions, those who can be called "His Royal Highness" should be those core members of the royal family above the marquis. As long as they are adults, they can definitely hold a position in the Senate kind.For example, the Marquis Suno who gave me a limited edition figure, or the Duke Androtier who gave me his first property.As a result, the total number of people immediately dropped to less than two hundred people.

However, on such a normal occasion, besides one of the eight elected emperors, who else could be called "His Royal Highness" by an ordinary military officer?

Well, let's estimate the situation of the emperors.These few are all vassal kings with territories, armies and their own officials. They are the heads of a medium-sized country, so their whereabouts are naturally not secret.In short, there are two old people who have basically faded out of central politics and are concentrating on running the camp.As for the rest, the Tamil King, who is best at diplomatic relations, is in the alliance to communicate about the tense situation some time ago.The old dog, the old dog's friend King Aiduo, and the most capable king Solein are all in the imperial capital now.

This mission of glory military exercise, no matter what others say, King Thorane and the old dog Valente will definitely go out, and they should start now.So unlikely to be here.

Then there is King Slein, who is the second most capable of fighting among the selected emperors.He commanded the troops in the Glory Gate star area next door, commanding more than [-] warships and more than [-] million officers and soldiers as the commander of the military area and the marshal of the empire.Half of the defense area is facing the Milky Way, and the other half of the defense area will confront the alliance's sphere of influence.

This king of Slein is also a famous general with both intelligence and courage. He has a strong military attribute, so he should be very interested in the military exercise.Anyway, his defense area is fine now, so it is reasonable to sneak to the next star area to have a meal.

From now on, King Slein can be regarded as the second best fighter in the selection of emperors in terms of army command ability, and Lun Brute Force (at least on the surface) is the number one in active service among the selection of emperors. He will definitely worship me, the god-chosen champion of the God of War Festival. of.

So, to sum up, currently in this remote Sarna planet, she is the only one who wants to come over to treat me to dinner and twist my useless Highness!
Well, there is nothing wrong with logical logic!
... It's strange!

When Yu Lian ignorantly entered the restaurant of the Pulse City Administration Office like a numb walking dead, when the tall figure of Queen Brunhilt came into his eyes, he unexpectedly saw another familiar woman at the same time. beautiful shadow.

Under the platinum hair, there is a dignified and intellectual face like a silver wheel, as demure as a literary girl.Not Amida Senge Berenkest, but who could it be?

Yu Lian shuddered, suddenly realizing a very important question.

Hey, I have nothing to do with them!I didn't do anything to offend Feifei at all. Thinking of this, Yu Lian completed the instant switch from walking dead to full of life in just a short moment, and his seven orifices and internal organs were all full of vigor.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian stood at attention to Miss Brunhilt, who was wearing the uniform of an imperial admiral, and gave a military salute: "It's been a long time, Your Highness Brunhilt, I haven't had time to express my thanks to you."

In any case, Yu Lian was able to kill so smoothly at the God of War Festival, after all, he also had the support of King Suliuka.In the later itinerary, her sacred tree guard team was indeed the core combat force of the team.

Then, Yu Lian grinned at the woman with short platinum blonde hair and a gentle temperament, showing a smile of a beloved relative and friend that is a little more intimate than the usual business smile: "And Miss Yamida, I didn't expect you to be here Ah! This is really..."

In any case, Yu Lian and Yani went to the playground to swim their arms together, sat together, ate food stalls and drank beer overnight, and they were all photographed by the reporters.Things have already developed to this state, and it is very unnecessary to pretend to be a passerby who has no friendship at this time.

It's only fitting that the expressiveness of our relationship stay with close friends.Yu Lian thought to himself.

Is my expression management very improved?

"Oh, that's really interesting. When I was in the Holy Tree Palace, Colonel Yu Lian, who scolded the empire from history to system, from the emperor to the people, is so cautious now?" Brunhilt raised his graceful eyebrows, his blue eyes swept across Feifei's body, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled into a mocking smile: "The spirited guy who said he wanted to make my belly bigger last time Where is the son?"

Yani didn't speak, she held a cup and drank tea.

Feifei didn't seem to hear it, and she smiled immediately, maintaining the dignity of a serious military diplomat.

I really don't know that you are waiting here.Yu Lian felt his scalp go numb, and just before he wanted to jump up and say something like "she's slandering me", Brunhilt had already bypassed him and stretched out his hand to Tantai Jing.

"Mr. Tantai, Gu welcomes you on behalf of the empire."

Tan Taijing is not a professionally trained diplomat, and he has a bright smile.He already felt the sweetness of the melon and fruit.

As for Major Popas, a staff officer doing tactical research is certainly not a dull person, and he also felt some very exciting emotions brewing.Of course, he also recognized who these two women with noble temperament and beautiful face were, and immediately felt a kind of admiration for Yu Lian.

As for the other people present, for example, the uncles who were obviously high-ranking local officials, although they pretended not to hear, they were obviously a little restless.Oh, by the way, Miss Ostana, the "Lava Sword", whom Yu Lian had met once.She still drank tea with a paralyzed face, as if she really didn't hear.

Of course, no matter what, the people present are either the emperor or the chaebol lady or the gentle and considerate Feifei. Everyone is an adult and a decent person. It is impossible to tear it up in public.Ever since, everyone sat down and started this very business and diplomatic welcome banquet.

Strictly speaking, imperial court banquets are very particular about etiquette and regulations.There are very strict and complicated regulations for everyone's seating, toasts, the rhythm of serving dishes, between each course, and even the accompanying music used at each stage.

But we also need to know that the Tirero people do have a pragmatic and uninhibited side.Except for the state banquet that needs to be shown to the public, the private banquets of the imperial nobles seldom really follow the etiquette established by the Heraldry Institute, and are often arranged according to the preferences of the banquet owner.

Since it was time for the army—actual combat exercises are also wars—the cumbersome palace banquets are unnecessary, Brunhilt directly asked someone to set up a large round table that can accommodate more than [-] people, and everyone sat at the same table , at first glance, it seems that there is no distinction between upper and lower.In addition, the dishes on the round table, in addition to the elegant dishes of the imperial court, also have several colorful East Asian dishes on the earth. The table is full of beautiful things. Although the tastes are mixed together, the colors are also very special. gorgeous.

The strict rules and etiquette system is to create a tall image of awe-inspiring and virtuous, but this pragmatism style is to make people feel peaceful and comfortable.From this perspective, the imperial aristocracy is indeed a sober elite ruling class rarely seen in the history of civilization.

Tantai Jing immediately showed a properly moved expression.Of course, the same sentence, he is not a professionally trained diplomat after all, this business expression is a bit deliberate.

Feifei pursed her lips and smiled.She had already seen that some of these dishes were clearly Yu Lian's favorite, so she glanced at Brunhilt calmly from the corner of her eye, and then met his gaze.

Both ladies discovered this, and simply turned their heads to look at each other calmly, and then laughed together, laughing like a hundred flowers in full bloom, like a world-famous painting.In the eyes of outsiders, this is clearly the two beautiful young ladies who hit it off.

Speaking of it, King Suliuka seems to like this kind of beautiful young lady who has good looks, temperament and ability the most. Isn't her girlfriend group like this?Wasn't Miss Ostana sitting next to her the same?Now that Lie Xinxi is happy, it wouldn't be surprising that there are more newcomers in the girlfriends group.

No, she got along very well with the eldest lady of the Belen Kester family these days.

Oh, the eldest lady of Berenkester's family is still silent and drinking tea.

All in all, because everyone is a decent person, there is no ky etiquette in this meal, and the overall atmosphere is very harmonious.On behalf of the empire, Brunhilt thanked the military delegation for their arrival, and reiterated the friendship between the empire and the alliance, the empire and the community.At the same time, she reiterated that the Glory Mission military exercise is used by the empire to demonstrate its strength and determination to defend the peace of the galaxy countries and the well-being of all civilized races, and it will never cause any tension. Yunyun, if the situation is really tense, it must be There are forces with ulterior motives spreading rumors and so on in the reaction country.

As an elected emperor, she has naturally received the strictest education in etiquette and foreign affairs. Of course, she is very proficient in this kind of diplomatic rhetoric that makes everyone feel like a spring breeze.

"I will definitely send your speech today back to China as soon as possible, so that it will be published in the newspaper." Feifei responded with the same perfect diplomatic smile.

Brunhilt nodded slightly, pursed his lips with a noncommittal smile, then raised his glass and stood up: "Then, gentlemen, I wish the Galactic Empire a thousand years!"

Now that the host of the banquet has already begun to toast, the rest of the imperial bureaucrats must naturally follow suit.Even the foreigners present, even if they feel a little unhappy, of course they can only follow the trend in this kind of diplomatic occasion.

Tan Taijing just moved his mouth hastily, his expression was a little stiff.Without professional training, he can only do so.He didn't turn his face on the spot, he was already very self-restraining.

Yu Lian snorted inwardly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he also raised his wine glass, and said in a louder voice: "I wish His Majesty the Emperor healthy forever!"

Brunhilt felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find any problems.

In this way, a reception banquet that enjoyed the guests and the host came to an end.

When everyone was about to leave, Brunhilt finally began to explain the business: "However, Yu Lianqing actually thought of coming to the planet Sarna for investigation. It seems that he and I have something in common. It's a pity, I have to return to Luyuan Planet tomorrow to receive the principal members of the Privy Council and the main members of the military observation team. I have already designated three observation posts on the planet Sarna, namely the administrative office in Pulse City, the garrison headquarters, and Temporary camp located in Blue Crystal City, west of the Great Pulse Plain."

Yu Lian thought to himself that you did something serious, you didn't just come here to harm me.

It is a natural arrangement for the observation post to be set up at the administrative office and garrison headquarters in Pulse City.However, it is very delicate to add another temporary camp in Crystal City.

This medium-sized city is more than two hundred kilometers away from Pulse City, but it is already the most inland city on this planet.It is close to the huge crossing canyon, the pillar industry of the planet (in those days), the two explosion dust wells and the energy-gathering crystal mine are also nearby.In addition, there are huge reserves of copper, iron, vanadium, titanium and other metal minerals in the nearby mountains.

This Crystal City is naturally a typical industrial city.Moreover, in order to support the mining of explosion dust and energy-gathering crystals, the imperial military built large-scale professional warehouses here.Now, although two-thirds of these warehouses have ceased to be used, this is after all the closest inhabited planet to the frontline Lion's Den Fortress. To play the role of supply transfer, the remaining one-third is still in storage There are considerable reserves of strategic materials, including a lot of explosion dust and energy-gathering crystals that were produced three years ago and have not been transported away.

You must know that, in addition to being used for boom, such things as explosion dust can also be poured into the engine by highly skilled engineers. At the cost of sacrificing the life of the engine, the ship can obtain a faster sublight charge speed in a short time.If the blue side of the exercise is really planning to sneak attack on the Lion's Den Fortress and pass through the planet Sarna, it will definitely find a way to seize these materials in the Crystal City warehouse.

In this way, the place where fierce battles are most likely to occur on the planet Sarna is of course the "outlying" inland industrial city on this marginal planet.

Setting up an exercise observation post here really reflects Brunhilt's meticulous thinking.Of course, this may also be that Ostana's suggestion.

At this time, King Suliuka said again: "During this time, you can enter and leave the planet's government and military institutions at will...Of course, if there are some military restricted areas, you need to apply in advance. I will keep Ostana here , as my representative. If you have any questions, you can communicate with her at any time."

Yu Lian nodded to the "Lava Sword", and the latter also responded with a smile, really like a harmless literary young woman.However, Yu Lian always felt that even the curvature of the corner of the other party's mouth seemed to be carefully designed.

But this is not surprising, Yu Lian felt in his previous life that Ms. "Lava Sword" was actually another type of facial paralysis.No matter at any time, under any circumstances, her smile cannot be shaken, and no one can read any micro-expressions from that perfectly designed, bookish and friendly smile.

"General Griffith of the Iron Army has already gone to the observation post in Crystal City." Ostana said with a smile: "There are still a few days before the official start of the exercise. If you are interested, we can advance Make an exchange."

"It is indeed a very responsible soldier, which is very admirable." Brunhilt also praised.

Yu Lian had never heard of the name of "General Griffith", but considering that he was from the Iron Army Union, an image of an electronically synthesized sound wrapped in a tin can suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, his sixth sense still felt that the appearance of General Griffith should not be just a coincidence.

If I remember correctly, the remains of the coordinating robot company left by Earl Salvin are also near Crystal City, right?
It must be observed carefully.Yu Lian slightly lowered his eyelids and began to think.

Yamida glanced at Yu Lian and drank another cup of tea.
