First Fleet, Flagship Red Leaf.
With the help of the maid, Azshara put on a new uniform.
The white short- and medium-length robe made of snowbird velvet is particularly slim-fitting. Thin threads of gold velvet run along the edge of the skirt, showing wavy undulations. Paired with slightly loose bottoms decorated with rice silver thread texture, she looks elegant yet somewhat capable.
After all, this is a dress only worn to meet the king, and its workmanship and texture are top-notch.
The maid looked at Eshara in the mirror with a satisfied look in her eyes, and immediately pursed her lips and smiled: "The general is so beautiful."
But in an instant, Aishara's face darkened: "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"
The maid immediately shut her mouth, then took a step back and tied her hands.
Taking one last look at herself in the mirror, Aisha closed her eyes, took a deep breath and strode towards the door.
When she walked to the door, her eyes suddenly looked towards the door wall - her command saber hung there.
After pondering for a few seconds, she reached out and took off her saber, clasping it directly in the holster on the left side of her uniform. Then she held the saber in one hand and strode out of the door.
At the gate, all the senior commanders of the flagship had already gathered, looking at her solemnly and nervously.
In the silence, Azshara took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Are you worried that humans have detained me? Or are you worried that I have rebelled?"
This joke was obviously inappropriate now, and everyone remained silent.
As senior commanders of the flagship, most of them grew up with Azshara, and also made great achievements in the battle with the Tara people - in other words, they have seen death. .
As a race with an average lifespan of three hundred years, they know the preciousness of life better than those backward civilizations - humans are a race with a lifespan of less than a hundred years.
"Don't worry. Although I don't understand why these nonsense come to me, I still believe in the judgment of His Majesty and the Academy of Wisdom. Humanity, an emerging civilization that has never experienced the power of time, although they are arrogant, are not Tara. That kind of barbarian. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry that the Tara people will take the opportunity to attack."
After listening to Azshara's words, everyone's faces looked a little better.
"Alright, Salya, Timis, you come with me to the landing ship, and the others return to their posts."
"Sir...what if they..."
"Just wait for His Majesty's order."
After finishing speaking, Azshara strode towards the release cabin.
…
Time passed minute by minute, and when Azshara was awakened from her slumber by Salya, the landing ship was already less than 5,000 kilometers away from the Auriga fleet.
"Mr. Governor, we are about to slow down."
"How long until we can land?" Azshara looked forward. Since the distance was close enough, the radiance of the opponent's warships in the dark space could already be seen with the naked eye.
More than seventy warships are like more than seventy satellites, guarding the largest and brightest star.
"There are about five hundred seconds left. According to human time, it's close to ten minutes."
"Has there been any message from the other side?"
"The channel beacon was sent twice."
"Yeah." Azshara nodded and closed her eyes again.
Of course she wasn't sleeping.
Along the way, she has been thinking about the true intentions of human beings, and used this to determine the bottom line that the Silver Moon Kingdom can accept.
Needless to say, launching an attack on the human fleet and provoking a war with an arrogant and even audacious civilization... In the eyes of the Silver Moon Kingdom, this is irrational and not in the ultimate interest of the kingdom.
Not to mention that humans themselves have the largest enemy Enforcer Legion, even the barbarians next door. In fact, the kingdom’s initial consideration was to resolve the dispute at the minimum cost-someone has even proposed that as long as the Tara people do not send warships, Then the aphelion planets and star circles can be jointly developed with the Tara people and trade can be established.
But the Tara people became more and more exaggerated, and the other party was also an arrogant young civilization that had only recently emerged. It did not have any powerful weapons, so in the end the kingdom decided to use warships to expel them.
In Azshara's view, the war with the Tara people was feasible and meaningful. Because if the army does not fight, not only will the soldiers have no status, but their combat effectiveness will also plummet. The Karatu Galaxy has been peaceful for thousands of years. If it were not for the records from ancient times, I am afraid that even warships would not know how to build them. I don’t even know how to fight the battle.
In silence, Azshara sighed deeply.
Not long after, the spacecraft had dropped to a speed that could be controlled by the attitude engine. At the same time, the bright star gradually became clear, turning into a huge space "fortress."
That's right...compared to a landing ship, it is a fortress in space!
The huge main gun shines with a faint cold light in the side light. The hulls on both sides are covered with small secondary gun weapons. Countless engineering drones are surrounding the warship for inspection and maintenance.
As the landing craft approached, a huge hatch opened on the side of the battleship, revealing a brightly lit release cabin.
…
The hatch of the human flagship was closed, and Azshara also stood up, quietly waiting for the arrival of humans.
The squeaking sound of inflation quickly disappeared, and then, the sound of a door opening was faintly transmitted into the landing cabin. A moment later, the human fleet commander who proudly asked the First Fleet to disengage a few hours ago appeared at the door. .
The landing hatch opened, and Azshara held onto her weapon. After taking a deep breath, she stepped onto the floor of the human flagship.
At the same time, a gentle and pleasant voice also sounded in my ears.
"Ms. Azshara, on behalf of Bai Qihao, I welcome you and friends of Kerong Civilization."
Azshara was slightly stunned. When she saw the human fleet commander looking at her with a smile and extending his right hand to her, a trace of confusion flashed in her heart - she knew this was a human handshake. What puzzled her was the gesture of the human commander.
Not only Commander Yang Wenzhi, but also the other humans standing behind him looked at him and others with smiles on their faces.
The hesitation in her heart was only for a moment. Azshara immediately returned to normal, a smile appeared on her face, she stretched out her right hand and shook Yang Wenzhi's hand lightly.
"This way, please." Yang Wenzhi retracted his right hand and pointed to the passage with his left hand: "Our conference room is over there."
"Thank you." Azshara remained calm and followed the other person to the door while maintaining etiquette.
The moment she stepped into the door, she exhaled softly, slowly, and without leaving any trace.
It seems that the judgment of His Majesty and the Institute of Wisdom is correct. Human beings are indeed not here for war. Their goal is clear from beginning to end, which is to resist the Executor - if they fight with their own civilization, the sacrifice will become Pointless.
That's why His Majesty deliberately told her not to try to prove the power of the Enforcer Corps to humans, otherwise humans might fall out.
After realizing this, Azshara became more relaxed and had more energy to pay attention to the human situation and the human warship.
There is no doubt that human beings are very similar to the Kerong people in terms of appearance and body shape. Even their heights are similar. Don’t underestimate this similarity. Apart from the subjective factor of "aesthetics", if the appearance is similar, then This means that the two races are similar in the emotional expression of their expressions, that is to say, they can easily use their own race’s experience to judge the other’s emotions.
For example, the goodwill released by human beings now, as well as the recklessness and strength before.
At this time, bursts of cheers and "puff" sounds came from the end of the passage.
Yang Wenzhi's voice came kindly from the side: "Your Majesty the Governor, in front is our living and resting area, as well as the dining area."
"Yes." Azshara remained calm. As Yang Wenzhi walked out of the passage, her curiosity made her look forward immediately.
After a moment, a huge hall appeared in front of you.
Then with just one glance, her eyes instantly froze!
In the hall, several humans and several robots wearing numbers marked were running and chasing each other in a field painted with various collective shapes. One of them was beating a ball while walking fast.
At the edge of the venue, a group of men and women of various ages were applauding and watching.
As the man stood still while running, he raised the ball high and threw it into the ring on a square plate in front of him.
The cheers returned.
Further away, several robots were busy behind a row of counters half as tall as a man, and occasionally flames would rise.
"Oh, this is them having a robot competition." Yang Wenzhi smiled gently: "It seems that the robot team was let off the hook today."
Azshara held her breath and tried her best to utter a soft "hmm".
Human robots...have they reached this level?
It’s not that she has never seen human robots before, she even knows that the Academy of Wisdom and Engineering once dismantled a communication facility submitted by a human robot!
But that robot... is just a toy car that moves forward on crawler tracks!
The robot in front of me seems to be the same as a real person in terms of actions and reactions!
But Yang Wenzhi had no intention of staying here any longer, and soon he led Azshara towards another door.
This time it's the elevator.
Of course, it is not surprising to install an elevator in a battleship, but Azshara can clearly see that the screen in the elevator is quite high-definition and the picture is extremely clear.
After getting out of the elevator, Azshara began to pay attention to the facilities and layout of the entire battleship.
She saw that the human battleship had no exposed wiring, control instruments, or huge pipes. If it weren't for the sealed doors and control panels everywhere, she would even think it was an advanced office space - no, even if there were These, it also resembles an office space rather than a warship!
And those anthropomorphic, bipedal robots can be seen everywhere, and they can even communicate with ordinary human crew members through language and body movements!
Azshara became more and more silent. When the last door opened, revealing a wide downward ramp, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"How many robots are there on your battleship?"
"Oh, our battleship...there are no people on it. Except for this flagship, the others are all unmanned battleships."
Yang Wenzhi looked at her with a smile and stretched out his hand to invite her.
