Chapter 298 Antecedents
After discussing it all, the three of them came to a consensus that they should hold off for now and wait and see what happens next.
Xu Weiwei learned from the priest that there would be no results in a short period of time, and she convinced herself to stay calm and not be anxious.
Life returned to its former calm. Some gossipers lost interest in the topic after a while and stopped talking about it. Only occasionally someone would mention it and sigh, "It's so depressing."
But Xu Weiwei has since developed a new habit, which is to stare at the sky in a daze, hoping that one day her father's starship will be able to pass through the clouds and take her home.
However, what she didn't know was that in the outer atmosphere of the planet Goodall, 1000 kilometers above the ground, several starships were hovering around searching.
The huge body of the starship was clearly printed with the emblem of the Imperial Galaxy - a golden dragon shield.
"General, the radar detection and infrared detection have not produced any results. There is feedback from the gravity detection, but the values are constantly fluctuating and have no reference value. It seems that the machine is broken."
The technician reported what he had observed and then waited for the next instruction from his superior, Elman.
This trip was not on official business, but simply to find the mysterious planet Goodall.
Three years ago, a wormhole appeared again in the airspace of the Empire, and a large number of Simons swarmed out of it. The air defense system of the local military district discovered it immediately, and the commander immediately sent troops to clear it out.
They were already very familiar with this set of procedures. This had almost become the norm for the imperial soldiers.
Because the Simons would go directly to the Imperial airspace through the wormhole every once in a while, the location was not fixed, and the number was also random. No one knew where their nest was, and no one knew how many there were.
Every time the imperial army would kill them all, but these abominable creatures seemed endless and there was no sign of reduction.
The troops sent out for reconnaissance either returned empty-handed or were completely wiped out. Once or twice, Odu II was able to withstand the pressure, but after a long time, he became heartbroken and gave up the idea of catching them all in one fell swoop.
If taking the initiative is not an option, we can only do a good job of protection.
Unexpectedly, this time the attack was so fierce that the wormhole did not close for a long time, and the overwhelming Simons almost blocked out the sun. The residents of the planet below were still wondering why the sky suddenly became dark, and they all turned on their cameras to record it.
There was also a lot of discussion online, but most people were just there to watch the fun and had no idea about the fierce battle happening above their heads.
Siphos received an order for reinforcements and rushed to the battlefield with 10,000 soldiers and 200 warships to replace the soldiers in the front.
Just as the number of Simons was decreasing, enemy planes were being shot down one by one, and the war was about to come to an end, the wormhole suddenly collapsed.
In just a few seconds, it expanded to dozens of times its original size. Everyone's attention was focused on the enemy, and by the time they noticed it, it was too late. The huge suction force sucked in everyone within a radius of several hundred meters.
The distance was too close, and even if the warships were pushed to the maximum horsepower, they still could not escape. More than 10,000 people, including Seaforth, lost contact and disappeared.
Some people speculated that these people might have been killed by the turbulence in space, while others believed that they might be floating somewhere in the universe and still have a glimmer of hope.
The people sighed and lamented, especially the residents of the planet where the battlefield was located. It was three days later when the news came out that they knew what had happened. While they were grateful to Sifos and the Fourth Army, they also prayed for them with tears in their eyes, hoping that they would be safe.
Sifos' enemies were delighted and wanted to celebrate with champagne. They couldn't do anything to him before, but now God has helped them solve the problem! If they don't take advantage of the situation, they will be sorry for the hard days they have lived with their tails between their legs!
So they proposed to Odu II to temporarily take over the post of commander of the Fourth Army, divert the Fourth Army's power to other military regions, and promote a new commander.
Some even demanded that Sifos be held accountable. The loss of tens of thousands of soldiers was a huge loss to the empire. Although Sifos was gone, his assets were still there. The soldiers' pensions and fines paid to the empire could be directly deducted from them.
When Emperor Odu II heard this, he became furious. He scolded the official who made this statement and demoted him.
Then Elman was appointed to reorganize the rest of the Fourth Army and arrange daily affairs, including major decisions. The reason was that the Third Military Region and the Fourth Military Region were geographically adjacent, making it convenient to travel between the two. In addition, the two sides often had some strategic cooperation, so both sides were familiar with each other and it was easier to run in.
Although the evil plotters did not succeed, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's decision. They just kept making small moves in private.
During the three years, Sifos's brothers never gave up the search. Ken from the Seventh Army, Hans from the Eighth Army, and Elman who was in charge of two districts, all spared no effort in their spare time to search.
Unless they saw the body, they would not think that the invincible man would fall.
Because of this huge accident, every time the Simons were ambushed, an expert in astrophysics would be brought to the battlefield to check the safety of the surrounding atmospheric environment.
They will not fall in the same place a second time.
One day, after finishing work for two military regions, Elman leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. It was already late at night. Since taking on this responsibility, he often had to work overtime until this late.
Elman gnashed his teeth inwardly: Damn Sifos, better hide and don't let him see you, otherwise you'll be killed...
You always cause trouble when you were here, and now you are causing even more trouble. If you want to disappear, just disappear, but leave your adjutant with me.
When Siphos comes back, he will have to advise His Majesty to let him sit in this position and atone for his sins. Wait... He will have to... take a long vacation...
As Elman was thinking, he fell asleep sitting in the chair.
When I woke up the next day, I realized my back and waist were sore. I sighed, stood up, took a shower in the lounge, washed up, and continued to work for a new round.
Suddenly, a ringtone rang, and it was a private number. Elman answered it, and his expression suddenly became serious after listening to it.
