Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 321

321. Chapter 320, Queen of the Iron Curtain

Chapter 320,

Black Arrow Star, the Queen of the Iron Curtain, the fortress-like palace of the Kingdom of Stefano has become a mess.

Today is the 42nd day since the Kingdom of Stefano was invaded.

Two months ago, the army of the Alliance descended on this world, making almost all countries on the Black Arrow Star nervous. Even though the people of the Angry Owl Star had no starport to use, they relied on orbital transport ships and landing ships to transport troops, equipment, and supplies to the surface one after another.

The spies deployed by various countries in the Kingdom of Luman have become significantly active.

They explored the specific situation of the army that landed on the planet, trying to figure out their goals, their troops, and their specific weapons and equipment…

However, when they didn’t figure anything out, the war operations of the Alliance Army had already begun.

On the morning of the first day, Ness Luman delivered a global speech, the signal was publicly audible, and shamelessly, as the governor of Black Arrow Star, he rejected the legitimacy of the King’s Council, and took out the explanatory documents of the star district government, declaring all the “countries” that resisted taxation as traitors of the Empire, and claimed that a star army had come to Black Arrow Star to suppress the rebellion.

At noon, urgent intelligence came from the territory of the Kingdom of Luman, saying that the army was mobilizing and suspected to be coming to the Kingdom of Stefano.

In the evening, the border defense line of the Kingdom of Stefano had been crushed into slag by the Alliance’s Lion tanks.

This series of news came very quickly and frequently.

The previous news just said that the soldiers of the kingdom were fighting desperately at the border and were expected to resist the enemy for ten hours. They hoped to get reinforcements as soon as possible. Then the military ministers began to discuss fiercely where to mobilize troops and how to arrange the entire defense line to stop the enemy. But before they could discuss and come to a conclusion, the next news said that the defense line had been breached.

This brought them great difficulties.

The whole day’s plan seemed to be in vain. Often, before a discussion or a plan is completed, the reality on which it can be formed no longer exists.

This situation has been repeated over and over again in the past 42 days.

The military action of the alliance can be called a blitzkrieg.

The kingdom’s defense line was easily penetrated like a hot knife cutting butter.

Behind the border, one defense line after another was just formed or even in the process of being formed, but was overwhelmed by the armed forces of the Angry Owl with artillery and armor.

Until today, according to the latest news, the enemy’s front has come to a distance of 330 kilometers outside the fortress capital of the Kingdom of Stefano.

Before the capital, there are only two lines of defense left to rely on.

In the palace, tension, confusion, and even a little despair are spreading everywhere.

Those generals and ministers who were either graceful or resolute under normal circumstances, although they were still trying to maintain their dignity and calmness at this moment, Queen Ispsi, as the monarch, could feel that her ministers and generals were extremely panicked and could not even come up with a normal idea.

To be honest, she felt the same way.

But at the same time, she was also deeply angry.

The Kingdom of Stefano was the second largest kingdom on the Black Arrow Star, with a population of 70 million. It was one place higher than the third largest kingdom next door, the Kingdom of Luman, but it was almost twice as large as

the Kingdom of Luman in terms of population and land area. Stefano was the most powerful of all the neighboring countries of the Kingdom of Luman, and also the strongest on the entire planet.

Moreover, Stefano also had a strong military tradition. This country has always been a military-based country, with a strong martial spirit from top to bottom. The bravery and fighting skills of the Stefano people are well-known throughout the world.

Even the capital of this country is a huge fortress; the palace inside is also a castle with full defensive performance.

Although Queen Ispsi is a woman, she is always proud of the courage and perseverance of her ancestors. From the age of nineteen when she ascended the throne to the age of thirty-five now, in the past sixteen years, she has followed the will of her ancestors and transformed from a woman who was just regarded as a “transitional monarch” to a real queen.

Who in the whole kingdom does not submit to the rule of the Iron Curtain Queen? Who dares to ignore this queen who has won the love of the Guards in her early twenties, and dared to launch a coup in the palace with dozens of people, and personally shot fifteen powerful ministers with guns?

She ruled the country with iron and blood, and she would never want to see the most important ministers under her so panicked and at a loss.

She also knew that this was the time for her to come forward.

She tapped the table lightly, and the ministers and generals sitting under the military meeting closed their mouths one by one, raised their heads, and looked at their queen.

Ispsi’s face, which was no longer young, had become even harder.

She made a decision: “Stop discussing those worthless things. We have withdrawn most of our forces, and more than 200,000 soldiers are ready to defend the capital fortress. At the same time, there are more than 500,000 soldiers from all over the country who are rushing to the capital, and they will be able to gather in just one month. In another month, there will be another 500,000 troops. Our allies have promised that within two months at most, a coalition force of no less than 500,000 people formed by the King’s Council will come to our aid.”

“We will make all the worst-case plans, and we will fight a desperate bloody battle with the enemy in our capital, our heart! We have a 330-kilometer defense line, a capital fortress garrisoned by 200,000 people, and the upcoming million-strong army from our allies! I will make those alien enemies crash into the fortress built of flesh and blood by the Stefanos!”

“No matter how powerful those alien enemies are, and how advanced their weapons and equipment are, we will let the enemy see the bloodiness of the Stefanos!”

“I swear in the name of the Queen that I will fight with my subjects to defend this country and never retreat!”

“I believe that we will eventually achieve a complete victory in the war!”

Under the speech of the Iron Curtain Queen, the generals and ministers raised their arms and shouted!

Their morale was boosted. They trusted their queen and were willing to shed their last drop of blood for Her Majesty!

However, at this moment, a muffled sound penetrated the shouts of the generals and ministers. It was not very clear, but it was firmly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

The cheers and applause gradually stopped, and then more and more frequent muffled sounds continued to come, and it sounded as if it was getting closer and closer.

Many people felt that this was very much like the sound of gunfire. But they also felt that this idea was too incredible. Under the Queen’s Iron Curtain, who would dare to fire a gun in Stefano Fortress?

As for the more terrible possibility…

It’s not that no one thought of it, but no one thought it was true.

Logically, how could the Allied forces, who were still 300 kilometers away this morning, let the sound of gunfire reach their ears in the afternoon, across the defense line of 100,000 soldiers and the solid fortress defended by 200,000 soldiers?

Divine soldiers descending from the sky?

Even if there really is a divine soldier descending from the sky, it will be shot down by you!

Stefano Fortress has a complete orbital air defense system. No matter what kind of aircraft you are airborne, even if it is an orbital airborne, it is impossible to break in so easily.

So what is the situation?

The face of the Iron Curtain Queen at this moment is really as hard as iron.

Without her order, the military attaché beside her had already rushed out quickly to find out what happened.

However, almost one or two minutes later, the military attaché who went out came back.

These military attachés of Ispsi were all promising rising stars. In fact, they were born in some military families and had excellent military qualities. The Iron Curtain Queen established the position of military attachés to recruit these young elites, cultivate their abilities and loyalty, and facilitate their future deployment to various armies to control the military power of the kingdom on behalf of the queen.

They should not show their emotions.

But when facing the scene of the sky falling, how many people who claim to be calm can really stay calm?

The military attaché who came back looked flustered and hurried.

He said, “Your Majesty, the enemy has entered the fortress!”

The military attaché’s father, a general of the kingdom, was on the scene. He couldn’t stand it any longer, so he stood up and scolded, “Why are you so panicked?! It’s just a small group of troops infiltrating at most…”

But the military attaché was very tough and said back, “It’s indeed a small group of troops, but they are Space Marines!”

Now, there was real silence.

Space Marines? Space Marines known as the Emperor’s Angel of Death?

They remembered this information.

In the turmoil that the Luman Kingdom launched against the Gu family more than two years ago, there were indeed Space Marines in the troops that beat up the Luman Kingdom Army.

Although, many think tanks in the kingdom, based on their limited understanding of Space Marines, believed that this unexpectedly powerful force was only occasionally invited to deal with the affairs of the Luman Kingdom. According to the rarity of Space Marines, it is unlikely that they will be driven by the same force repeatedly.

However, adhering to the spirit of thinking of the worst possible situation in all plans and making the contingency plan as comprehensive as possible, they still took into consideration the super-standard things like Space Marines when formulating the corresponding defense plan.

The think tanks of the Kingdom Army racked their brains to calculate the combat capabilities of the Space Marines with very limited information, and thought of many ways to deal with this super soldier.

However, the frontal battlefield has not yet encountered the Emperor’s angels, and the capital, which should be extremely safe, has been hit first?

How is it possible? Even if they are Space Marines, how did they get in?

In the silence, the military attaché could not help it. He spoke again: “I saw the surveillance. When those red-armored giants eliminated the garrisoned knights, it was no different from the knights slaughtering unarmed civilians. The Royal Guards Knights can’t stop their advance at all! Your Majesty, generals, and ministers, retreat quickly, it’s still not too late to run now!”

“Shut up!” The general father of the military attaché spoke again.

He was very worried that his son would anger the Queen of the Iron Curtain.

Her Majesty the Queen just declared in front of a group of ministers that she would live and die with her subjects, fight to the end with the enemy, and never retreat. Why are you shouting for people to run now?

You are not willing to die, but Her Majesty still has dignity!

He looked up with some worry, but saw Her Majesty, with a sullen face, turned around and left without saying a word.

…

Anato put down the bolter in his hand, which was still smoking, and watched the last sentinel mecha painted orange-red fall in front of him.

Although he had only been a space warrior for two years, he was already used to fighting.

He looked at a middle-aged woman in military uniform who was already trembling but holding a pistol and trying to stay calm, and the people behind her. In the helmet, he whispered in a voice that could not be heard: “Group A has cleared all enemies and intercepted the target. It is confirmed that it is the queen of the Kingdom of Stefano, Ispsi.”

He didn’t think he said anything wrong.

Although the queen was holding a gun, and the several young military attachés next to her and the so-called generals and ministers behind her were also holding self-defense weapons, in his opinion, there was indeed no danger.

A new order came from the helmet’s built-in communication system: “Take all the targets and go to the rendezvous point. Try to ensure that they don’t die.”

“Understood.”

After responding, he raised his head and faced the local dignitaries in front of him and said, “You are captured. Next, please follow me and don’t make any attempts to resist.”

Behind him, the other five fighting brothers slowly moved forward. With the muzzle of the gun, they pointed in the direction they came from. Anato himself walked straight towards the queen.

A young military officer bravely blocked him in front of him and opened his mouth to try to say something, but Anato just waved his hand, and the back of his iron hand hit him in the face, making him headless.

Anato’s footsteps did not stop at all and walked in front of the “Queen”: “Ispsy.”

He said her name calmly without saying any extra words, but the muzzle of the gun had already expressed his meaning.

The Iron Curtain Queen gritted her teeth, but she could only stagger in the direction pointed by the muzzle of the gun.

They returned to the hall where the military council was first held.

Six red-armored giants guarded all the entrances and exits. Anyone who dared to enter or tried to slip out would be wiped out by the grenade launchers.

There were more than 20 people inside, including the Queen of Iron Curtain herself, and they were not even disarmed.

However, they did not have the slightest thought of resistance. They

did not even dare to speak.

After an hour and a half of occasional gunfire, they saw two more teams of Space Marines walk in.

“All air defense systems have been shut down.”

“In one hour, the elite special forces of the 10th Brigade will be airdropped.”

“Control the entire fortress area. We must ensure that there are no obstacles in the city when the main army arrives in two days.”

“Make sure to complete the mission.”
