Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 320, Queen of the Iron Curtain

On Black Arrow Star, the fortress-like palace of Stefano Kingdom was already busy.

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

Two months ago, the Alliance's army descended on the world, making almost all countries on the Black Arrow star nervous.Even though the Raging Stars didn't have access to the star port, 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 Luman Kingdom became significantly more active.

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

However, before they could figure anything out, the alliance army's war operations had already begun.

On the morning of the first day, Ness Luman delivered a global speech. The signal was publicly audible. As the governor of the Black Arrow Star, he shamelessly vetoed the legitimacy of the King's Council and took out the explanatory documents of the sector government to all The 'countries' that resisted the tax declared themselves traitors to the Empire, and claimed that an Astra Militarum army had arrived on Black Arrow to counter the rebellion.

At noon, urgent information came from the Kingdom of Luman, saying that the army was mobilizing and was suspected of coming towards the Kingdom of Stefano.

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

This series of news came very quickly and very frequently.

The last news just said that the soldiers of the kingdom are resisting desperately on the border. They are expected to be able to withstand the enemy for ten hours. They hope to receive reinforcements as soon as possible. Then, where can the military ministers deploy troops and generals, and how to arrange the entire defense line. Stopping the enemy started a heated discussion.But before they could come to a conclusion, the next news came that the defense line had been breached.

This caused them great difficulties.

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

This situation repeated itself over the course of 42 days.

The alliance's military operations can be called a blitzkrieg.

The kingdom's defense line was cut through easily like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Behind the border, defense lines one after another had just been established, or were even in the process of being established, when they were overwhelmed by the armed forces of the Raging Stars with artillery fire and armor.

As of today, according to the latest news, the enemy's frontline has reached a distance of 330 kilometers away from the fortress capital of the Kingdom of Stefano.

Before the capital, only two lines of defense remained to rely on.

Within the palace, tension, confusion, and even a little despair were spreading everywhere.

Although those generals and ministers who are either graceful or resolute under normal circumstances are still trying to maintain their dignity and calmness at this moment, as a monarch, Queen Ispsy can realize that her ministers General He was in such a panic that he couldn't even come up with a normal idea.

Honestly, she felt the same way.

But at the same time, she also had deep anger.

The Stefano Kingdom is the second largest kingdom on the Black Arrow Star, with a population of 7000 million. It is one higher than the third eldest brother next door, the Luman Kingdom, but it is larger than the Luman Kingdom in terms of population and land area. It's almost twice as big.

Stefano is the most powerful of all the neighbors of the Luman Kingdom and the strongest on the entire planet.

Moreover, Stefano also has a strong military tradition.This country has always been founded on military force, and there is a strong martial ethos from top to bottom. The Stefano people are famous throughout the world for their bravery and good fighting skills.

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

Although Queen Ispsy is a woman, she is always proud of the courage of her ancestors. She succeeded to the throne at the age of 19 and is now 35 years old. In the past 16 years, she has carried on 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 entire kingdom does not submit to the rule of the Queen of the Iron Curtain?Who dares to ignore this queen who, in her early 20s, has won the love of the Imperial Guards, and dozens of people dared to launch a coup in the palace, killing fifteen powerful ministers with her own hands?

She ruled the country with iron blood, and she never wanted to see her most important ministers, each one of them, so panicked and without any ideas.

She also knew that this was the time when she had to step forward.

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

Ispsy's face, which is no longer young, already looks harder.

She made a decision: "Stop discussing those worthless things. We have reduced most of our forces, more than 20 soldiers, and are ready to stand firm in the capital fortress. At the same time, across the country, There are more than 50 soldiers rushing to the capital. They will only need one month to complete the gathering. In another month, there will be another 50 troops. Our allies promise that within two months at most, There will be a coalition of no less than 50 men formed by the King's Council to come to our aid."

"We will prepare for the worst, and we will fight a bloody battle with the enemy in our capital, our heart! We have a 330-kilometer defense line, a capital fortress garrisoned by 20 people, and the upcoming hundreds of The army of King Wanqin, the army from our allies! I will definitely make those alien enemies smash their heads and bleed in front of the fortress made of flesh and blood by the Stefanos!"

"No matter how powerful the alien enemies are and how advanced their weapons and equipment are, we must let them see the bloody nature 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 total victory in the war!"

Under the Queen of the Iron Curtain's speech, the generals and ministers raised their arms and shouted!
Their morale was boosted, they trusted their Queen and were willing to shed the last drop of their blood for Her Majesty!

However, at this moment, a muffled sound penetrated the shouts of the generals. It was not very clear, but it reached everyone's ears firmly.

The cheers and applause gradually stopped, and then more and more frequent muffled sounds continued to come, and they seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Many people thought it sounded like gunfire.But they felt that this idea was too unbelievable. Under the Queen's Iron Curtain, who would dare to shoot in Stefano Fortress?

As for the more terrifying possibility...

Not that no one thought of it, but no one thought it was true.

Rationally, how could the Alliance army, which was still 20 kilometers away this morning, allow the sound of gunfire to reach them in the afternoon, across the defense line of [-] soldiers and the solid fortress defended by [-] soldiers? In the ears?

Divine Soldiers descended from heaven?

Even if some magic weapon really descends from the sky, it will be defeated by you!

Stefano Fortress has a complete orbital air defense system.No matter what kind of plane you land on, or even airborne on orbit, you can't get in so easily.

So what exactly is going on here?
The Queen of the Iron Curtain's expression was truly as iron-clad at this moment.Without her order, the military attache beside her quickly ran out to find out what happened.

However, almost a minute or two later, the military attaché who had gone out came back again.

These valet military attachés of Espressi are all very promising rising stars.In fact, they come from some military families and have excellent military qualities. The Queen of the Iron Curtain established the position of military attache in order to recruit these young elites, cultivate their abilities and loyalty, and facilitate the future. Put it outside the various armies and control the kingdom's military power on behalf of the queen.

They should be indifferent to emotions and anger.

But how many people who claim to be calm can really stay calm when faced with a scene where the sky is falling?

The military attache who came back looked panicked and his steps were hurried.

He said: "Your Majesty the Queen, the enemy has entered the fortress!"

The attaché's father, a general of the kingdom, was present.He couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and reprimanded: "Why are you so panicked?! At most, it's just the infiltration of some small troops..."

The military attaché, however, had the rare strength to push back: "It is indeed a small force, but they are space warriors!"

This time, it was really silent.

Space Marine?The Space Marines known as the Emperor's Angels of Death?

They remembered this information.

Almost two years ago, during the turmoil against the Gu family caused by the Luman Kingdom, there were indeed Space Marines among the troops that violently beat up the Luman Kingdom's army.

Although, many think tanks in the kingdom, based on their only understanding of the Space Marines, believed that this unexpectedly powerful force was only occasionally invited to handle the affairs of the Luman Kingdom.Given their rarity, Space Marines are unlikely to be driven by a single faction over and over again.

However, adhering to the spirit that all plans should be as negative as possible and the plans should be as comprehensive as possible, they still took super-standard things like Space Marines into consideration when formulating corresponding defense plans. middle.

The think tanks of the Royal Army racked their brains to calculate the combat capabilities of the Space Marines with very limited intelligence, and thought of many ways to deal with such super soldiers.

However, what if we haven't encountered the Emperor's Angels on the frontal battlefield yet? The capital, which should be extremely safe, has been hit first?

how can that be possible?Even if they were Space Marines, how did they get in?
In the silence, the military attache couldn't help it.He spoke again: "I saw the surveillance. When those red-armored giants eliminated the garrisoned knights, they were no different from the knights massacring unarmed civilians. The guard knights couldn't stop their advance at all! Her Majesty the Queen, generals , Ministers, retreat quickly, it’s still too late to run away!”

"Shut up!" the military attache's general father spoke again.

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

Her Majesty the Queen just stood up in front of all the ministers and declared that she would live and die with her subjects, fight the enemy bloody to the end, and never retreat. Why are you telling people to run away now?
You are desperate for your life, but Her Majesty the Queen is still embarrassed!

He looked up with some worry, only to see Her Majesty the Queen turning around and leaving without saying a word, with a livid face.

……

Anato put down the smoking bolter in his hand and watched the last Sentinel mecha painted orange-red fall in front of him.

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

He looked at a trembling middle-aged woman in military uniform who was holding a pistol and trying to stay calm, as well as a group of people following her. Inside the helmet, he said softly at a volume that could not be heard: "A The team has cleared all enemies and intercepted the target, confirmed to be the Queen of Stefano Kingdom, Ispsy."

He didn't think he said anything wrong.

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

A new command came from the helmet's built-in communication system: "Bring all targets with you to the meeting point and try to ensure that they do not die."

"clear."

After responding, he raised his head, faced the local dignitaries in front of him, and said, "You have been captured. Next, please follow me and do not make any attempt to resist."

Behind him, five other battle brothers slowly moved forward.Use the muzzle of the gun to point them in the direction they should go.Anatol himself went straight to the queen.

A young military attache had the courage to stop in front of him, opened his mouth and tried to say something, but Anato just waved his hand, and the back of his iron hand hit him in the face, causing him to lose his head.

Anato walked up to the 'Queen' without stopping: "Ispsy."

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

The Queen of the Iron Curtain gritted her teeth, but was helpless and could only stagger away in the direction pointed by the gun.

They returned to the hall where the military council had originally been held.

Six red-armored giants guarded all entrances and exits. Anyone who dared to enter or try to slip out would be wiped out by bolters.

Inside, there were more than twenty people, including the Queen of the Iron Curtain herself, who had not even been disarmed.

However, they could not afford to resist at all.

Don't even dare to speak.

After spending an hour and a half like this amidst the occasional sound of gunfire, they saw two other groups of Space Marines walking in.

"All air defense systems have been shut down."

"In one hour, the special forces elite of the [-]th Brigade will parachute over."

"Control the entire fortress area. We need to ensure that there are no obstacles in the city when the main army arrives two days later."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."
