What's going on. Petrovic said
The temperature of the reactor responsible for starting the engine is rising at a tremendous speed. Sedok said that
Before petrovik absorbed the words of his subordinate, a loud explosion came from the engine room, which turned the stern of the ship into a burning mass of flame
I got something similar to the rest of the ships and stopped moving
Petrovik did not understand what was going on and why the engines explode in this way
Stellar fuel is rich in metallic elements that are stable inside the reactor under normal conditions, but when exposed to a very strong magnetic field, these elements begin to merge with each other, releasing the element Dominium
Which is a heat-emitting element, which makes the mixture an ideal explosive mixture that can be used as a bomb capable of melting the reactor core and igniting the fuel inside the engines. Darius said that, looking towards petrovik, who was still in a daze at what was happening
The neutron comet would have left the arov cloud and completed its trajectory in space
Isaac, get the fleet.it went according to plan. Darius said that through the communicator
After a short while, a response came from the other party
I think your subordinate is busy with something else right now, general Darius. The other person said through the device
At the main base of the Imperial Fleet
What do you say, General bradvik commanded the Fifth Fleet and headed for the arov cloud. The colonel said
Yes, sir, it happened a few hours ago. The monitoring official said
Perhaps the supply fleet sent a distress call, so general bradvik decided to go himself to save them. Deputy Colonel Federic said
Nothing from the supply fleet has arrived since it entered the arov cloud. The monitoring official said
This is not in the nature of bradvik, he is always cautious and does not act recklessly, do you know anything that can make him do this. The colonel said
I believe that the general received the report sent by intelligence agents behind enemy lines before he left. The surveillance official said as he took out a tablet and put it in front of the Colonel
The colonel took the device and began to turn the pages looking for anything that would explain why General bradvik acted this way when he found that the report confirmed the movement of the enemy fleet and its entry into the system, but it did not contain anything suspicious, he passed the device to Federic for examination as well
Federic checked the report and confirmed that it was normal and almost returned it before he glimpsed a photo taken by one of the informants of one of the ships of the fleet with a certain logo
So he entered the logo into the database to find out who this fleet belonged to, when the result appeared, vidric looked at the information in disbelief and said, ' I know why General bradvik left.'
On the deck of the burning command ship Darius was confronted by a certain person who had just landed from one of the ships of the support fleet that came to the rescue of the supply fleet
The person concerned looked at the The flaming comet who was walking away and said
Every time we meet you make me amazed and in awe of your plans that you use to turn the tables on our troops
Darius smiled and said
I feel good when I hear praise from someone as important as you, General bradvik
Do you know how much I longed to see the person who ruined my plan and made our troops retreat so much, Darius Iskander Valor. General bradvik said
So are you happy with me now. Darius said
Yes, so much so that I want to take your head and put it on the wall of my castle when I get back. Bradvik said
Oh, don't say you hate me because I just messed up one of your plans. Darius said
One of my plans is Haha do you think I hate you just because of the recent defeat, Darius, you know why I hate you. Bradvik said
Darius looked at bradvik's expressions and made sure that he was serious with his words and that he was not joking and said
If I don't know what you're talking about honestly, this is the first time we've met
Kudravan Necros does not mention anything. Bradvik said
Darius was silent for a moment and thought about this name he heard and said
The code of Silent Death of the secret assassination squad of the Empire, who was killed four years ago in the fortress of the Iron Hammer
That's right, it was the code of the Silent Death of the Empire, and so was my younger brother, Darius. Bradvik said
But what did I have to do with your brother's death, I was guarding the outer gate of the fort and I was not responsible for the squad of bodyguards who killed your brother. Darius said
I thought so at first, too, what is the relationship of the official of the outer gate of the fortress with the death of my brother, but there is a small detail that puzzles me, general Darius, I hope you answer me about it. Bradvik said
Darius watched his surroundings and noticed that the support fleet had extinguished the fires in the other ships and began to transfer the right supplies to his ships, then he turned to general bradvik, smiled and said
I'm certainly glad to be able to dispel your confusion, general
Three months after my brother was killed, you were promoted to the rank of general, although you did not achieve any achievements during this period, can you tell me why you deserved this promotion. Bradvik said
General Adrian was killed during the Battle of the silent path, so he took his place as the top deputy of the eleventh fleet and managed to lead the fleet and dodge the pursuers down to the base, convincing Colonel Pani to be eligible for promotion. Darius said
Hmm, it seems that you are a talented person and really deserve promotion. Bradvik said
Darius controlled his nerves and showed that he was unaffected in front of his opponent, but his opponent did not give him any chance to rest and said
But recall that there is a law in the federation that gives preference to inheritors of large families over anyone who sees whether your command of the fleet and escape with it was enough to get you the post of general from those predatory whales that leave behind only crumbs. Bradvik said that, looking at his opponent in a deadly way
Darius was silent for a moment and then spoke and said
Why are you sure I'm the one who killed your brother, not the Fort commander or even his bodyguards
I had my doubts, but you told me now. Bradvik said
Darius looked with shock at bradvik and realized that he had been deceived and said
How exactly did I tell you
When I reviewed the records of the incident, I noticed something strange: the people who supposedly confronted and killed my brother said that he was someone using a poisoned green blade, and he did not say which of them he used the dark skill that he had
The question is how the gate official knew that he was the code of Silent Death while the people who supposedly encountered him could not find it a little suspicious. Bradvik said
Silence filled the place for a few seconds until Darius spoke
You're smarter than I've heard about you, General bradvik. I was able to relate the events from some ordinary details. in fact, that night someone else died with your brother. you know who I mean
Bradvik looked at Darius in disbelief and said
Do you mean you drove my brother to the vice fleet room on purpose
Don't blame me, our fleet deputy was a selfish and incompetent person, if he wasn't from one of the big families, he would have been kicked out of the fleet a long time ago
He caused a huge loss to our troops and he cared about his reputation at the expense of the lives of his soldiers, so when your brother tried to contact us in order to gather information, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and catch two birds with one stone. Darius said
How I did it my brother always sets his goal and does not act before he is sure of it. Bradvik said, ' he's barely still in control of his nerves.'
General Adrian was in charge of the seventh sector, but six months before the assassination he was sent to the Iron Hammer fortress in the eleventh sector. Darius said
Bradvik thought for some time and said in an ironic way
The Doster family
Which, coincidentally, is the family that competes with you in achieving achievements and gaining positions in the Military Council, and you see, do you expect that they will give your brother the information he wants about general Darian. Darius said
Bradvik thought about Darius's words, seeing the other party's smile expand and came to a shocking conclusion and said
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Do you mean that it was you who contacted my brother and told him about the information about general Darian
Darius put his hand on his forehead, sighed and said
Admit that your brother is a talented person on the combat side, but he is a total failure on the intelligence side, do you imagine that he offered a financial bribe to one of my men in exchange for information about the fort and the place of residence of General Adrian
Bradvik was silent and could not refute his opponent's claim, his brother was a talented person in fighting, but he did not like things that required a lot of thinking and planning, but he liked someone to tell him what to do and he would definitely handle it
After that, you sent the information that your brother requested, whether a map of the castle or even a recent photo of General Adrian, or that's what he thought, and he had no way to verify the authenticity of the information he received. Darius said
Then you used him to get rid of the deputy commander of the fleet and get his position, didn't you. Bradvik said
Yes, you're right. Darius said
But there is something suspicious as a deputy of the fleet, his death during an assassination will raise questions, and this matter will not be covered up so easily that even the commander of the fleet will be forced to open an investigation to identify traitors unless. Bradvik said that, hinting at something
If the person who carried out the assassination was someone other than your brother, your conclusion would be correct and the general in charge of the place might even be punished. Darius said that, smiling
I didn't understand what she was implying, why my brother in particular. Bradvik said
What is the most famous operation that your brother did and was the reason why he was called the silent code. Darius said
Operation Red Corona. Bradvik said that
Yes, you are right, and this is what made him deserve his status as one of the most famous assassins, so we don't see every day an heir from an ancestor's family being assassinated. Darius said
The younger brother of the current Colonel of the Eastern Fleet, right, this means that the colonel was aware of what was going on and he made everyone shut up. Bradvik said
The younger brother of the colonel was the person she loved the most and hoped that he would achieve great achievements in the future, so when the news of his death reached the colonel, she entered a state of sadness and depression for several days
While Darius was looking at bradvik, he was thinking something and continued his speech
Besides, general Adrian was the most hated thing about people who get their positions through the influence of their families without any competence or experience, so when I told him about the assassination, he welcomed the idea
If you and your general conspired against the vice fleet and got rid of it, then you killed my brother and got the Colonel's support, right. Bradvik said
Yes, you're right. Darius said
But one detail is missing, which is how General Adrian allowed you to get away with it, but also gave you the position of Vice Admiral, which is not very generous towards one of his followers. Bradvik said that
It was not he, but the colonel who gave me the position of deputy commander of the fleet, so I took precautionary measures before presenting the plan to General Adrian so as not to be the scapegoat in front of everyone. Darius said
So the story that was told to the high command was as follows
The code of Silent Death was receiving help from a traitor inside the fleet to arrange an assassination of General Adrian
Unfortunately for the Conspirators, the control officer managed to discover the scheme several days before the operation was carried out, and general Darian took the necessary measures and did not alert the traitor to anything suspicious
When the assassination took place, the attackers were surprised that their opponent was ready and tried to escape for their lives, unfortunately, the vice fleet was on his way to the commander's room when he heard the sound of the enemy's attack, so he rushed to the room to try to help the commander
When he entered the room, he was surprised that the enemy was standing behind the door of the room and launched a quick attack, stabbing him in the heart and killing him before the enemy fled to the corridor, the general's bodyguards managed to catch up with the killer and finish him off. Darius finished explaining the official version and waited for the other party's response
I can only admire your high thinking and use any opportunity to turn the matter in your favor. Bradvik said
The silence continued in the place until Darius spoke and said
Is there no other way than this to end this
His opponent was drawing a sword and preparing to fight and said
If we hadn't met on the battlefield, there would have been a good chance of reaching an agreement, but since we met here, there is no way to resolve the matter except to fight until one of us falls
The next moment the confrontation between Darius and bradvik began
Darius rushed towards his opponent, and his right palm was radiating a blinding dark blue light and sent him forward
Bradvik did not move from his place and just raised a palm towards his opponent and when his opponent's attack was several meters away, he moved up and crossed over him before landing at a distance from him and destroying the area behind bradvik
He managed to neutralize the Lightning Arrow using a little of your energy. Darius said
Bradvik looked at the scale of the destruction left by his opponent and said
Your ability is also special, as you were able to muster energy in one moment to carry out such a wide-impact attack
Bradvik rushed forward at a tremendous speed to shorten the distance between him and his opponent in order to gain the upper hand in the fight, Darius reacted quickly as well and threw himself into space in order to prevent his opponent from surrounding him
While he was preparing to launch another attack, something strange happened, he was unable to rush up and something was preventing it, the state of inertia did not last long, at one moment Darius directed energy from his hand to all parts of his body, allowing him to discharge electrical energy into space
The next second, Darius broke free from the stalemate and continued to rush into space, when he looked down, he saw that his opponent was still on the ground, but something was forming in his hands, radiating black
He knew that his opponent was preparing to launch a full-scale attack to prevent him from escaping, so he decided to change direction and move between the ships
The vacuum range is not something that you can escape with a few movements and dodges. Bradvik said that while throwing a ball that radiates a black light
Darius could see his opponent's attack accelerating at a great pace and approaching him, so he decided to activate his second skill
Bradvik was watching his attack approaching his opponent and when he almost hit his target, a whip of Black Lightning formed from his opponent's palm and hit the black ball
At first nothing happened, but the next moment the ball began to expand and then exploded, releasing energy in every direction
Bradvik looked in shock as if he had witnessed an incredible thing and turned to look towards petrovik and said
Didn't you say he can turn Lightning into plasma, so why can he turn the properties of lightning into that damn thing
I don't know, sir, why ??? something like this is used during the fighting between us. Petrovic said that he is in shock from what he saw
In space, Darius had moved away from the command ship and decided to rest behind one of the asteroids
Uh, uh, this skill makes me feel like my body was being crushed between the jaws of pliers. Darius said, gasping for breath and trying to replenish his energy
After a short while, Darius sensed someone approaching him from the direction of the fleet and decided to move deeper into the cloud
Bradvik was increasing his speed as he saw his opponent go deeper into the cloud
Have you finished escaping. Landing on the surface of an asteroid and standing in front of Darius, burdavik said
Maybe that's it, or maybe I want to set a trap for you, who knows. Darius said
I can confirm that you did not expect that the support that will come will be under my leadership. Bradvik said
Darius looked at the fleet that was far on the horizon and said
However, can I ask you a personal question
Bradvik looked at Darius with a thoughtful look and said
No, it seemed to be a question that you can't ask in front of others, that's why you decided to drag me here, what is it, you see
What are the real reasons for this war, bradvik. Looking into bradvik's eyes, Darius said
