Taking a few deep breaths and struggling to free himself from the fear of some giant creature, Mikael forced himself to calm down and stepped on the red carpet with cautious steps, walking step by step towards the god who was watching him, and tried to restrain himself
The desire to lower your head and look away.
Finally, after walking for twelve steps, there was some fine sweat on his forehead, and then he bent his knees, knelt on one knee on the carpet, lowered his head deeply, and made the aquila salute with his hands.
"Mikael Korostoy, on behalf of our lord, Governor-General Yuri Olikov Pechinka, has an audience with His Excellency the Great Consul Soshyan Alexey."
There was silence all around, and the sound of the busy bridge operating area seemed to be completely blocked. There was only the slight whistling of the artificial wind. The Terminators on both sides stood motionless as if they were statues.
Mikael lowered his head, and the thick fur pressed against his neck, making him a little hot. He suddenly regretted bringing such a thing.
In front of that majestic god-like existence, this is as ridiculous as mouse fur.
Suddenly, whether it was an illusion or not, he seemed to hear a chuckle.
"Commander-in-Chief Mikael, you are very young."
A seemingly ordinary sentence, but with the blessing of a rich voice, it was still very majestic. After Mikael's brain was running rapidly, he replied softly:
"Thank you for your compliment. I also feel that I am much younger. I think it is because I have witnessed your great power and received a little glory bestowed upon you by the God Emperor."
"Hahaha, you are indeed a man who rose from a servant to a commander-in-chief. He is very good at talking. Get up, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief of the Volistad Guards."
After waiting for three seconds, Mikael stood up, still lowering his head slightly.
"His Excellency the Chief Consul Soshyan Alexei, my Lord asked me to convey a message to you. All the soldiers and civilians of Volistad are grateful for your timely assistance. After repelling the aliens, they will serve you in the final battle on the planet.
The most magnificent statue erected on the summit!”
The towering god shook his head.
"Let's just skip these."
After saying that, he raised his hand, and the two flexible screens immediately hung down, and then the screen appeared.
Mikael looked at the content on the screen cautiously. It looked like the earth had turned into scorched earth. Many greenskins were driving primitive motorcycles like escaping beasts, but the death gaze from the sky destroyed them one by one.
"The main force of greenskins on the Libashka Peninsula has been annihilated by our army. The only thing we have to deal with now is the greenskins in Shannan Territory."
Soshyan's words made Mikael's arms tremble slightly.
How long had it been since the other party arrived? Such a powerful green-skinned gang was annihilated just like that.
Mikael glanced at the screen. When the screen flashed across the ruined King Kong, he knew that this should be true.
"What's the situation at the Kopolov Mountains defense line?"
When the other party asked about the situation of the mountain defense line, Mikael quickly replied:
"Everything is...under control."
At this time, the screen on Soshyan's left suddenly flashed, and then a top-down view appeared. You could clearly see a fortress standing on the mountainside that was smoking, and there were constantly roaring people carrying rockets.
The greenskins jumped out of the woods and landed in the fortress, and
The soldiers in simple clothes ran out of the various exits of the fortress in embarrassment and ran wildly on the mountain paths. More unlucky ones were thrown directly from the wall by the green skins, and then the flag planted at the highest point of the fortress was also thrown down.
A small, tattered green flag was planted at the highest point of the fortress.
Then the scene changed, and another fortress at the mouth of the valley had turned into dilapidated ruins. Many heads and corpses were piled into hills. Roaring green pickup trucks and dirty tanks were running over the ruins and heading back along the flatter valley.
.
Seeing all this, Mikael was dumbfounded and broke into a cold sweat.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, your defense line has long been reduced to a sieve."
Soshyan's words were very plain, but with a hint of questioning. Mikael took a deep breath and answered softly.
"The soldiers had limited equipment, insufficient training, and lacked food and clothing... They did their best."
"Oh? I thought you would explain yourself."
"I am just a servant. I have never commanded an army in the past, and I have never even understood military affairs. I cannot explain myself. I prefer to call myself a firefighter rather than a commander-in-chief."
At this time, Soshyan picked up a data tablet at hand, a message flashed on it, and then he put it down again.
"Someone has accused you of fearing the enemy like a tiger, refusing to avoid fighting, being cowardly and without any plan, and abandoning the people. Do you have anything to explain?"
Mikael raised his head slightly and responded to the accusation in a calm tone.
"Sir, although I am not a military expert, I know one thing. Land without someone to protect it is meaningless. I can understand the resentment of those who have lost their homes and relatives towards me, and I am willing to bear those resentments, but I don't think so.
My decision was wrong. This disaster came too suddenly. No one was prepared.
, Those so-called armies can catch bandits and suppress peasants who rebel because of taxes, but what they are better at is road robbery, gambling, whoring, and reselling military supplies. I don’t understand the military, but I know them very well.
I know what they are capable of, and under such circumstances, I can only choose to save those who can be saved."
Soshyan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Do those generals listen to you?"
Mikael was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously:
"Some listen, and quite a few...are stubborn."
"Someone accused you of using disgraceful means to coerce many commanders?"
Mikael forced a smile.
"Sir, this is indeed disgraceful. After all, who among these people doesn't have a bunch of mistresses, illegitimate children, and shady properties?"
"Ha, interesting, interesting."
While talking and laughing, the mask on Soshiyang's face retreated into the beast's mouth above the helmet, revealing his true face, and then said slightly teasingly:
"Mikael, since you have mastered the military power, have you never thought of taking the opportunity to replace your master?"
"My loyalty to my lord is the same as my loyalty to the God-Emperor, until death."
"But the Pechinka family is on its last legs. All direct family members have died, and the family territory has been burned to the ground. Only a small part of the Shanbei Territory remains."
Soshyan leaned back slightly, like a judge conducting a trial.
"Do you think it still has the strength to lead the world?"
Mikael was silent for a long time, and the calmness on his face gradually turned to sadness.
"...Sir, you are right. The Pechenka family has indeed reached its end. What my lord expects from sitting in this position is not to inherit power, but to lead the people of Volistad to victory.
Alien, get out of this disaster and let more people live. If this is Pechinka
It was the end of the family, and my lord hoped that it would at least have a decent funeral... For this reason, my lord almost spent all that was left of the Pechinka family, including all the fields and farms, distributed them to the refugees for free, and all the wealth that the family could mobilize was
It was used as military expenses, and all real estate was converted into hospitals and refugee camps."
Soshyan said nothing after hearing this, but lightly tapped the armrest of the throne with the fingers of his left hand.
