After reading the distress signal sent by Caesar Seratis, Mekkatorque was silent for a long time before finally making a decision to ask the adjutant to call the main commander of the Lucas Ghost Fleet.

After half an hour.

The ghost fleet leader Lucas has only boarded the flagship, see Mekkatorque.

Mekkatork waved his hand and waved everyone in the small meeting room back, leaving only Lucas.

He looked calmly at the newly promoted ghost fleet commander, examined it, and did not speak.

Although Lucas is the newly promoted ghost fleet commander, he is actually not young in the Palestine civilization.

His promotion method is similar to that of Mekkatork, and he is from the bottom ethnic group, through a field of actual combat feats.

Due to a bad background, the abilities acquired when he was young are relatively poor.

However, his talent is very good, so in middle age, when the new ghost fleet selects the main general, he passed all the examinations and competed with another noble for the final qualification to command the ghost fleet.

When he obtained the sacred gift of the temple, he successfully obtained the fleet hiding skills required by the ghost fleet, but the other noble general did not succeed.

The noble faction originally wanted this noble, try again, wanting to win the position of the new commander of the ghost fleet.

In the end, it was Mekkatorkly Paul Lucas who was promoted to the commander of the Ghost Fleet.

It can be said that Mekkatorque is kind to him.

Otherwise, given his origin, he may have to wait until the nobleman commanded the ghost fleet to die before he has a chance to take the position.

"Like you, I came from the bottom ethnic group, so we all know how difficult it is to go from the bottom ethnic group to today..." Mekkatork did not go directly to the topic, but brought up the topic of birth.

Lucas saluted immediately and said loudly: "Yes, General Mekkatorque, this is what you promoted, and will fight for you in the future without regrets!"

Mekkatork waved his hand and said, "We are all loyal to the church."

"Yes, allegiance to the church!" Lucas replied loudly.

"Now, I have a secret mission I want to entrust you to do, but..."

Mekkatork paused, and his tone became more serious: "This task is very dangerous. Whether it fails or succeeds, you may die without a place to die. So, you can refuse."

Lucas looked terrified when he heard this. He could think that this mission must be very special, but he couldn't think of what it was for a while.

Mekkatork went on to say: "If you refuse this secret mission, I won't have any other requirements for you. You are still the main commander of the Ghost Fleet. I choose you, and I value your abilities.

"As for this secret mission, which will affect the fate of civilization, I can't think of other better options.

"If I can, I will even go in person, but the battle has already begun, and I cannot leave the fleet now.

"Now you want to make it clear whether you want to listen to this secret mission or not.

"After listening to the task, you won't have a chance to look back.

"If you don't want to listen, turn around and leave now, just as if I didn't call you today."

Lucas heard this and knew that this secret mission might involve the fate of civilization, noble factions, and even royal power.

He thought in silence for a long time, and asked, "If the general had a choice, would he do it?"

"Can."

Mekkatorque only answered one word, but the firmness in his tone was convincing.

"Okay! Since this is the general's choice, then I will take on this secret mission. I can see that there are not many people who are really doing their best for civilization in the entire civilization. The general is one of them and the most persistent. One. Since the general thinks it should be done, then I will do it." Lucas promised.

When Mekkatork heard this answer, there was a hint of excitement in his expression: "I really didn't misunderstand the person. Now I will tell you what this secret mission is.

"That is... to rescue Caesar Seratis."

"What...what?"

Although Lucas had been mentally prepared for a long time, he knew that this secret mission must be very important, but when he heard it in person, he was surprised.

Mekkatorque did not continue to speak, but looked at him, waiting for him to slowly digest the weight of the sentence.

Lucas recovered from the shock, and there was a dense energy fluctuation in his body, which was a reaction similar to a cold sweat.

After he calmed down, he asked in a deep voice: "General, that is the head of the rebel army, the chief culprit of subverting civilization."

"Yes, that is his crime, but at the same time, he is also the key to stopping the civil war. If he is rescued and the kingship of the rebels has returned to the sanctuary, then naturally there will be no civil war." Mekkatork explained .

After thinking for a while, Lucas asked a sharp question: "If Caesar Seratis is rescued, who will sit on the throne of the Templar? Is the general going to help Caesar Seratis on the throne again?"

Mekkatorque hasn't really figured it out yet, but he has a rule in his heart, saying: "My allegiance is to the temple, and the royal power recognized by the temple temple is orthodox.

"Caesar Seratis is a prisoner of crime. Even if he is rescued, he will be tried by the temple.

"As for what happens in the future, it's not my concern now.

"The most important thing now is to use his identity to recruit the rebels after he rescued Caesar Seratis.

"As long as the rebels surrender, then the battle crisis of Andromeda α1024 is naturally solvable. When the 300,000 noble fleet enters the battlefield of Andromeda α001, we will have the final victory of the war in our hands."

Lucas took a deep breath and said, "General, although stopping the civil war is a good reason, if it is just to stop the civil war, then the general does not need to call me to talk alone.

"Rescuing Caesar Seratis and returning for trial, the Pope will not object to this matter, and it is entirely possible to follow normal military missions.

"Furthermore, the general also said that this secret mission, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, I may be overwhelmed. It also shows that the relationship is complicated."

Mekkatork was silent for a while before shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, you are indeed more suitable to be a general than I thought. The Ghost Fleet is not enough to display your talents.

"Since you see that there is a problem, I will tell you everything."

With that said, he let out the distress signal sent by Caesar Seratis to Lucas.

Lucas was even more shocked after reading it.

Because the decision of Caesar Seratis turned out to be to overthrow the noble system and establish a new civilized system.

This is equivalent to pushing the entire ruling class of the Palestine civilization into the river and subverting the entire civilization.

However, if Caesar Seratis really succeeds, then Palestine civilization will enter a new era.

It is no longer the aristocratic class that rules civilization and infinitely oppresses the lower ethnic groups.

At that time, the untouchables in the lower-level ethnic group like him, who have a certain talent, can also get their due rewards through hard work.

Unlike him, the nobleman who was competing with him was obviously inferior to him, but he almost squeezed out his position as the master of the ghost fleet.

Lucas finally understood at this moment why Mekkatorque would choose himself.

Because of the same origin, it is possible to identify with Caesar Seratis’ current ruling position, overthrow the noble system, and establish a new civilized system.

However, no one knows what the consequences will be.

No one knows whether it is the rebirth of Nirvana, the split of civilization, and the separatism of warlords.

The more Lucas thinks, the more afraid he becomes. This matter is far more complicated and dangerous than he thought at the beginning.

Moreover, this danger does not come from the battlefield, but from the royal power.

After thinking for a long time, Lucas asked: "General, so you have made a decision to overthrow the noble system and overthrow the current kingship?"

"I said at the beginning that I am loyal to the temple. If your Majesty is willing to abolish the aristocracy, open a new era of civilization, and recruit rebels, it is the same. If Caesar Seratis is not approved by the temple, then he I will still be tried." Mekkatorque replied.

Lucas knew what Mekkatork meant.

If Sanris Seratis is willing to overthrow the noble system and establish a new era of civilization, it can indeed achieve the goal.

However, the aristocratic system of Palestine civilization is doomed, and the royal rule and the aristocratic class are one.

Saint Seratis sat in that position, and it was impossible to abolish the system that stabilized his kingship.

If the new era civilization system proposed by Caesar Seratis is supported by many low-level ethnic groups, it can indeed force Saint Seratis to make certain concessions, but he wants Saint Seratis to completely compromise. , That is almost impossible.

The undercurrent in this matter is far more turbulent than on the bright side.

After being silent for a long time, Lucas asked: "Did the general really think about it?"

"Yes." Mekkatork replied very positively.

"Okay. With such a complicated situation, if you continue to think about it, there will be no result. Now that the general has decided, then I am willing to follow the general's orders." Lucas threw away the complicated thoughts in his mind and decided to follow Mercator. Gram’s order is executed.

"Well, this is the trajectory of the warship that held Caesar Seratis. Find him and bring him back."

Mekkatork uses the word "belt" instead of "save", which has a subtle difference.

"Yes!"

Lucas took the order and went to perform the task.

...

Six hours later.

The Lucas Ghost Fleet, passing the distress signal along Caesar Seratis, found the destroyer, and successfully rescued Caesar Seratis, began to return, and at the same time sent a return message to Mekkatorque.

at the same time.

On the Shenzhou.

Zhao Anya whispered in Fang Yuan's ear and reported: "The fish bit the hook."

"Well, in which direction the fish is going, let the battlefield lean over." Fang Yuan said.

Immediately afterwards.

The decisive battlefield, began to move in the direction of the return of the Lucas Ghost Fleet.

Mekkatork discovered this phenomenon, knowing that humans discovered that Caesar Seratis was rescued, so he sent a fleet to intercept it.

In order to cover Lucas, he also ordered the fleet to follow up and drag the human fleet.

Fang Yuan saw Mekkatorque's fleet start to move, and smiled: "The big fish has also been hooked. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

After half an hour.

Templar star, St. Reese Basilica.

The Duke of Tuttle rushed into the hall, and before St. Reese became angry, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Mekkatorque rebelled."

Saint Seratis heard these words, the energy of the body shook for a while, and asked: "What do you mean? He is on the battlefield, how can he rebel?!"

The Duke of Tuttle released a piece of information and hurriedly said: "The information just received, Mekkatork went to rescue Caesar Seratis, he is indeed a remnant of the previous dynasty, and his loyalty before is deceit. !"

"Impossible, he will command the overall situation in the fleet." Since Saint Seratis dared to let Mekkatorque lead the fleet, of course there is a way to monitor his actions.

Mekkatorque has not left the flagship, which he can be sure of.

"Your Majesty, Mekkatork sent Lucas, the new commander of the Ghost Fleet. He tried to protect Lucas as the commander of the Ghost Fleet from the very beginning. He had planned to rely on the Ghost Fleet to rescue the rebels. This conspiracy started two years ago!" Duke Tuttle released evidence.

After reading the evidence, Saint Seratis was furious and shouted: "Connect me to the communication of the Lucas Ghost Fleet. I want to know where my fleet is!"

Half a minute later, the messenger replied hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Lucas Ghost Fleet rejected the communication request."

Bang!

Saint Seratis was furious, the energy of his body exploded with a muffled noise, and he shouted: "Call my authority and confirm the location of the Lucas Ghost Fleet!"

Soon, the location of the Lucas Ghost Fleet appeared on the star map.

That location was unexpectedly not the originally planned location, plus Lucas Ghost Fleet refused to communicate, and there was intelligence.

Adding all the evidence together, only one result can be drawn.

Saint Seratis was furious and shouted: "Tuttle, you go now, take over the position of the commander of the fleet, and order Mekkatorque to come back and see me!"

"Yes!"

After receiving his orders, the Duke of Tuttle turned and rushed out of the hall, ready to take over the position of Mekkatork and take charge of the royal fleet.

at the same time.

Sanris Seratis sends a communication to the Mekkatorque flagship.

After the communication is connected.

Saint Seratis shouted directly: "Come back and see me!"

Mekkatorque's expression didn't have too many waves.

In fact, ten minutes ago, he received a message from Lucas and learned that the Pope had sent a communication request to the Ghost Fleet. He naturally knew that the rescue of Caesar Seratis had been discovered.

It's just that the speed of being discovered is a bit too fast.

Therefore, he thought of another possibility.

"Your Majesty, this is a human conspiracy." He directly told Saint Seratis his guess.

"Is this your conspiracy?! Mekkatorque, I handed over the fleet to you, but you used it to rebel! I have asked Tuttle to command the fleet. Come back and meet me! Before I completely deprive you of your army. Before the level!" Sanris Seratis roared.

Mekkatork looked terrified and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Tuttle is not good at commanding the fleet. The battlefield is changing rapidly. I can't leave. After the war, I will give your Majesty a satisfactory answer."

"Fuck back and meet me!" Sanris Seratis roared again, unable to listen to Mekkatorque's explanation.
