Chapter 1012 Victory... Is Actually Very Sad

Since the outbreak of the war, the Covenant Navy has been working hard from top to bottom, but due to the large gap in actual combat experience, they suffered one defeat after another, and finally lost even the Caryland star system. They longed for victory from the bottom of their hearts, hoping to release their suppressed feelings through a victory, and now... this moment has finally arrived. Mackintosh and his fleet fled back to the rear in embarrassment like a dog with a broken hind leg.

"Thank God." Someone prayed devoutly, kissing the dog tag in the palm of his hand with his lips, as if it was not a small piece of iron, but a sacred cross that enshrines spirit and faith.

Some atheists scoffed at this, "You should thank Captain Tang from Dilar, not some illusory god."

The man opened his eyes and looked at him, showing a deeply appreciative expression, and said reverently: "Lord, thank you for bringing Tang Fang to the Star Alliance, thank you for bringing him to us... I praise your kindness, Praise be to your greatness."

The face of the atheist is a bit ugly: "..."

There were many tears, for the dead, for the living, for the Covenant, for the victory...

There are also many cheerful guys who tried to send their thanks to the Seraph, but were stopped by the superiors.

After Tang Fang put away the air force of the three races, he changed from a participant to a spectator, sitting in the cockpit of the Seraph and watching the Covenant Navy recover the lost ground, drive the Monya Navy warship out of the Rutonado star system, and regain the belongings of the Star Alliance. their front.

Jean Johnson, Wahid Kegelman and others sent a communication request, inviting him to the No. 2 military port for an interview. He said, "Military affairs are important. Your Excellency, Commander, first arrange everything properly before the two sides meet again. Anyway, fighting It's over, we have a lot of time" is temporarily dismissed.

In fact, he did not do it out of kindness, as Jean Johnson and others thought. What prompted Captain Tang to do this was that the conflict between Cathy and Freya finally broke out.

When the two met for the first time, they had disliked each other. Cathy hates the strong Ypssi dragon aura on Xiao Nizi, but Xiao Nizi's idea is even more bizarre---Tang Fang only needs her "power bank", she will never allow that Guys who look like oversized gritty massage bangs steal their jobs. Also, the Seraph belongs to her, just like Tang Fang, she will never allow female Elante to get involved.

Tang Lin didn't expect that Cathy would just take advantage of her acting like a baby in Tang Fang's arms, and use the Seraph to blow up several Monya naval warships. The little girl was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her hair all exploded .

Not only was he stunned, Captain Tang's expression was also very exciting, as if he hadn't expected Xiao Nizi's reaction to be so intense.

Zhou Ai and Claire didn't fight over the boyfriend,

Miss Freya was threatened because of the position of the "power bank", and she showed deep hostility towards Cathy. If Tang Fang hadn't pinched her shoulder strap, she might have rushed over and wrestled with Cathy.

For the time being, Tang Fang didn't want outsiders to know about Cathy's existence, and he didn't want others to see Miss Freya fighting with the National People's Congress because of the "power bank" problem, so he rejected the request of Jean Johnson and others. He was dealing with civil strife when the Covenant navy pursued the Monyar ship, which he considered more exhausting than a fight with Mackintosh's fleet.

Tang Lin's temperament is a bit boring, but he is not stupid. Knowing that such a bad thing is better left to the elder brother, to avoid embarrassment, he found an excuse to leave the Seraph, and took the shuttle to the airspace where the flagship of the 79th Fleet was located. Going to talk to Dalton Evelyn about life, about ideals, and ask for a cup of tea... It is said that the old guy is quite accomplished in drinking tea.

I don't know how long it has passed, until Captain Tang fed the little girl with things unique to boys, and vowed that she is his only and favorite power bank, Miss Freya is like a cat that fills her stomach Be quiet and stop dwelling on Cathy's threats.

After clearing the fire in the backyard, I turned my attention to the starry sky battlefield again, and found that the tugboats and engineering ships of the Covenant were cleaning up the large pieces of debris scattered in space, many medical boats were coming in and out of the port of the damaged battleship, and the combat ships were taking prisoners and patrolling Tasks to stabilize the situation and defend against possible dangers.

Knowing that Jean Johnson and others have not finished handling the military affairs at hand, only the commander of the 79th Fleet, Dalton Evelyn, has not been assigned and is receiving Tang Lin. So I decided to go to the No. 2 military port to meet this old friend.

When the Morningstar first arrived in the Skynest sector, there was friction with the local government in Jakarta’s Bur star system. Dalton Evelyn, as the commander of the garrison navy, did not agree to Clement’s request to fire and was saved from a major war , and joined the 79th Fleet after the Star Alliance turned against Monya and Sulu, came to the forefront of the war, and carried out the patriotic will to the end.

For this kind of character, Tang Fang has admiration, not to mention being an old friend, so he is naturally happy to meet and have a chat.

Under his instructions, the Seraph slowly turned and flew to the airspace where the No. 2 military port was located.

Because it is related to the ownership of the Lutonado star system, this war is extremely tragic. There are many small wreckages and even frozen human corpses in the void. There were originally 5 military ports in the Lutonado star system. After this battle, only 3 of them are still operating. In space, a small number of severely damaged ships are allowed to enter the military port for repairs.

Of course, the Seraph will not be bound by this rule, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he ordered Cathy to wait on the ship, and he took Freya to the entrance of the No. 2 military port on the Protoss transport plane.

After a period of time, the transport plane flew into the military port and landed on the apron that had just been emptied. The two walked out of the cabin and found that Dalton was not waiting for them outside. After asking the officer who came to pick up the plane, they learned that the Commander was temporarily I have something to do, I can't get away, I hope he and Miss Freya will forgive me.

Naturally, Tang Fang wouldn't be upset about such a trivial matter. He waved his hand lightly to signal that he didn't care, and told the pick-up officer to take him to Dalton and Tang Lin's place to wait. The pick-up officer hesitated for a moment, but nodded, and invited the two to get on a maglev vehicle and head towards the interior of the military port.

In fact, Dalton and Tang Lin were not far from the tarmac, only a few minutes away. It wasn't until the maglev vehicle stopped in the parking area that the two got off the vehicle and saw the scene in front of him. Only then did he know why the pick-up officer hesitated, and then he realized what was more important than Captain Tang, which made Dalton dare to neglect himself.

It was an extremely painful place, a depressing scene. In the not-so-wide hall, a dozen or so Covenant soldiers in military uniforms, white gloves, and long guns stood side by side. There were officers holding the flag of the Star Alliance standing on the right side of the hall, and Dalton stood in front of the soldiers, with his right hand on his forehead, saluting the soldiers coming from the opposite passage.

As a lieutenant general, of course he did not salute those first-class soldiers, but saluted the fallen soldiers they carried.

The four privates carrying the stretcher walked slowly, walked past the area where the soldiers with guns were, and walked up to Dalton. At this time, he raised his hand to signal them to pause, adjusted his military cap and clothing as a sign of respect, and walked to the stretcher.

The star alliance flag was covered on the body of the fallen soldier, it was new and spotless, and there was an elegant little flower on the flag.

Dalton stretched out a slightly rough hand, pinched the corner of the national flag, and slowly lifted it up, revealing the pale faces of the fallen soldiers and their brand-new military uniforms.

"James... Thank you for your dedication to this country, and I hope you can have a peaceful life in another world."

After speaking, he took off the badge representing the Medal of Loyalty and Courage on his chest, and lightly pinned it on the military uniform of the fallen soldier, "These honors are earned by you with your lives...you are more qualified to wear them than I am .”

After saying these words in a very low voice, he covered the military flag again, took two steps back, saluted again, and watched as 4 privates carried stretchers into the connecting passage on the other side. At the end there is a ship dedicated to transporting the remains of soldiers. It will send them away from the front line and return to the place where they grew up, often accompanied by green mountains and green grass.

Tang Fang noticed that there were already many vacancies in his honor list, and it was not the first time he had done so.

Standing not far from the hall, Tang Lin saw Tang Fang approaching, greeted him in a low voice, "I really regret coming with him, if I know this is the case, I might as well stay in the room and continue drinking tea."

Although he pretended to be calm and used a somewhat self-deprecating tone to explain his unwise behavior, the reddish eyes still betrayed his mood at this moment.

"Actually... this is also a cup of tea, but it's a bit bitter." Tang Fang stared at Dalton's back for a while, and didn't ask the pick-up officer to remind him. He chose to leave here and go to the lounge arranged by the military. wait.

After leaving the place where the remains of the fallen soldiers were transported, they returned to the lounge where Tang Lin and Dalton had stayed under the leadership of the pick-up officer. Sure enough, they saw teacups, teapots, tea washers, tea trays, tea mats and other dishes on the table. The utensils required for brewing Gongfu tea.

The tea soup in the cup has been drunk, and the spout is still emitting hot smoke. There is a light tea fragrance coming with the wind, which dilutes the heaviness and sadness that permeates the heart, and makes people feel a sense of returning to peace.

The pick-up officer looked at the tea sets on the table and looked embarrassed, because only Dalton could use these things, and no one else could get them. So there was hesitation in preparing coffee or continuing to make tea, and he didn't know how to deal with Tang Fang and the other three, so as not to neglect the distinguished guests who helped them win.

Tang Fang shook his head with a smile on this cute pick-up officer, pointed to the tea set on the table, and said, "Don't worry, I can do it myself. The old saying goes well, I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't watched it yet." Do you run past pigs..."

The pick-up officer didn't know what the second half of the sentence meant, but after understanding the first half, he couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being an idiot. Captain Tang, as a descendant of the Han nationality, how could he not know much about drinking tea, but it is somewhat impolite to let the distinguished guests cook and drink by themselves. Unfortunately, he really doesn't understand these things, so he can only nod his head and say a word of apology , sat down on the chair near the door, and accompanied the two of them to talk about the battle just now.

This officer, who was a few years older than Tang Fang, was obviously not a quiet person, and he started to talk endlessly, from thanking Tang Fang for his help to the Star Alliance Navy, to those golden swallows and the suspected Ypsilon The astonishingly powerful combat power of the battleship, and the bullying of the Covenant Navy by the Mengya Navy these days... like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, they poured out all at once.

Tang Lin's brain ached when he heard this, and he thought that this guy's maturity and stability just now were all just pretending. It turned out that there was a burning heart under his serious appearance, and one person actually claimed both him and his elder brother.

Just as the officer took out the small book in his pocket, and was about to ask Captain Tang for some autographs as gifts for his son and close soldiers, the appearance of Dalton Evelyn interrupted his actions, like a The spring bamboo, which was bent and suddenly straightened, suddenly became upright, and the lively expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious smile.

Tang Lin was stunned, and Tang Fang was also stunned. He thought that if this guy went to act, he might be able to make a name for himself and become a soldier... It's really a shame that he can follow a calm and mature person like Dalton. Around me, I was not driven crazy by that serious atmosphere.

As a respect for the elders and landlords, the two got off their seats and smiled at Dalton who was walking slowly outside the door.

"I am very sorry for not being able to greet Tang Fang in person." The first sentence Mr. Lieutenant General entered the room was to apologize for treating Tang Fang slowly.

Tang Fang didn't pay attention to what he said, and his eyes fell on the left chest of the military uniform. There should have been a matrix of medals with different colors and patterns, but now it is empty. For a senior general in the army, it always feels less something, very awkward.

The pick-up officer secretly stuffed the pamphlet in his palm into his trouser pocket, first saluted Dalton, then politely bowed to the two as a sign of farewell, turned and left the room,

"He is really an old guy who can buy people's hearts." It is undeniable that Tang Fang's words were very mean.

However, Dalton Evelyn didn't care. He just froze for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "You have seen it all. I just hope to face their sacrifices with the utmost respect... You know, as a It is a desperate thing for an old man to see off those young people who should have swayed their youth and sweat in the sun... They are not machines, not stubborn rocks, they are once incomparably bright and lively lives, at this moment , but turned into a cold corpse without breathing or heat... Many times, I refused to admit this cruel reality, and I couldn’t even forgive myself.”

It can be seen that what happened just now has touched him a lot. Although the surface is serious and his eyes are calm, the bitter water in his heart is like a gurgling spring, constantly arching upwards. (To be continued.)
