Douglas smiled slightly and left the sowhat talkative cheerful soldier.
Only after Douglas's figure disappeared outside the automatic door of the cabin, did the chanic soldier Owen retract his admiring gaze and speed up his work.
Although Douglas appeared very composed, just now, the chanic soldier heard a shocking news from the faint sound coming from Douglas's communicator — two Elephant-class Royal Fleets of the Binart Empire had already appeared within only two jump points from the Longbow Star System in public information. That was the outer warning line where the Nineteen Group Fleet had deployed reconnaissance ships.
The chanic soldier's heartbeat was accelerating.
Two Elephant-class Royal Fleets, that's the scale of six A-class fleets! Undoubtedly, this ans a desperate blood battle!
**********************************************************************************************************
The fleet continued forward in silence.
Fatty stood by the arc railing protruding from the central control platform, looking at the deep universe outside the bridge window, feeling a mix of emotions.
Haphazardly joined the military, haphazardly involved in war, haphazardly beca a hero of the Leray Federation, and ended up drifting in Mars Free World. It seed he would forever struggle in such a haphazard way throughout the war. The Federation was already fragnted, and the Western Alliance remained strong and untouched, the future of the war still unpredictable, and his dream of becoming a prodigy, an unparalleled little tyrant, seed indefinitely far away.
Tears welled up in his eyes........When would this life ever end? If this continues, the little tyrant will turn into an old lecher. The difference in that imagery is vast!
"What are you thinking?" Behind him, Fang Xiang's gentle whisper ca.
Fatty turned his head. Before him stood the stunningly beautiful Saleria Major General, her eyes still red, appearing exceptionally delicate. She, who had been suppressing her emotions all along, finally let her tears flow unchecked upon returning to the Longbow Star System and standing again in the airspace where Tolstoy had perished.
"Nothing," Fatty replied with a simple smile, turning back with his eyes on the window, becoming deep and resolute as if contemplating the fate of humanity's future.
"You planned this long ago, didn't you?" Fang Xiang bit her lip. Every ti she saw Fatty with this face of worrying about the country and its people, she found it amusing. This guy, really didn't resemble a hero of the Leray Federation, even serious, he seed quite farcical.
"What?" Fatty, baffled by Fang Xiang's sudden question, seed sowhat guilty; his resolute expression suddenly lost confidence, his smile turned sowhat stiff.
"Coming here like this." Fang Xiang took a step forward, standing alongside Fatty, her hand resting on the railing, and softly said: "To pay tribute to General Tolstoy in this way."
"Since we had to pass through here, so......" Fatty said half a sentence nonchalantly and then fell silent. For so reason, he didn't want to continue on this topic.
However, his intentions were thwarted. Fang Xiang, gazing at him, gently sighed and softly said: "Actually....... I also know that our emotions along the way are sowhat off."
Fatty t Fang Xiang's eyes in surprise. In those clear and captivating eyes, he saw only gratitude.
"Thank you......." Fang Xiang turned away from Fatty's gaze, looking at the starry sky outside the window, murmuring: "Returning to Saleria has been far too sudden for all of us. We never expected to co back in such a short ti. The closer we got to our holand, closer to this starry sky where we had countless tis galloped, the more panic-stricken and enraged we beca. This emotion spread among all the Salerian officers and soldiers. I have felt it, even in myself. If I saw the Western Alliance's battleships in front of , I would definitely attack in the most furious way.......
"And now..." Fang Xiang smiled brightly: "I have cald down a great deal. In the starry sky where we initially fought, it was the tears and General Tolstoy's gaze that cald us. We understood that this is a grueling war, and we must press forward with difficulty. Even though we still bear the stigma of traitors, and although we harbor much anger, all irrational acts are only harming the comrades beside us."
Fatty scratched his head, which was shaved down to just two milliters of hair, not knowing what to say for a mont.
The biggest reason for paying tribute to Tolstoy was, of course, his respect for the unyielding old Salerian general, but deep down, there was also the intention of winning people's hearts and controlling the restless psyche of Salerian officers. As a psychologist, he understood better than anyone the cohesive and comforting effect this tribute had on the entire fleet.
Fatty was not quite a qualified commander; he had no experience leading a large army. He even took a long ti to prepare himself to lead a team.
And to beco a leader, winning hearts, quietly controlling the team, driving soldiers to fight, and shouting about faith and freedom, these shaless things must be done. This made Fatty quite pained. He always felt he was not shaless enough, nor was his skin thick enough.
For instance, right now, his expression was quite awkward......on the surface, at least.
"I've seen the battle plan." Fang Xiang seed to know what this "keenly aware of what's called sha" Fatty was thinking, changing the topic: "According to the external information obtained from the reconnaissance ships, General Douglas carried out a successful raid. Now, the entire Blue Stone Star is under the control of the Feiyang Fleet, and the three jump points of the Longbow Star Domain are certainly in the hands of the Feiyang Fleet, so as long as the Hidden Blade Fleet can enter the Longbow Star System, safety can be assured. What we need to do now is figure out how to ensure the Hidden Blade Fleet can quietly pass through the Bermuda Jump Point and the three public star systems between it and the Longbow Star System."
