For a week, I explored the city I lived in to my heart's content, and it was so amazing that if I told Seriak about it, she wouldn't believe me.
During that time, I also met the girls from my squadron, who congratulated me on being promoted to a higher rank, but instead of addressing me by my rank, they always called me "Boss". Honestly, I've never met so many cat girls in one place. I don't even know why they are so loyal to me, and are even willing to give their lives for me.
Mia's answer surprised me.
"Boss, isn't it the same for you? I mean, you've thrown yourself at the enemy so many times, and you've always saved us when we were on the verge of death."
I didn't know what to say, but even in this life, I remain myself and care very much about the people close to me.
That never changes!
My squadron will be the lead crew of my fleet's flagship, which will go straight to the enemy camp. It was the perfect moment, until they recovered.
At the moment, I was flying on my "Jay", straight into the sky until I found myself in the earth's atmosphere.
And the picture that I saw amazed me.
Above the earth, there were many spaceships, which numbered in the thousands. And all these ships will be led into battle by me!
Of course, my flagship, you could immediately recognize it, as it was the largest ship in the fleet. I immediately directed my "Jay" to it. I did not even need to contact the flagship, they scanned me, and immediately determined who the starship belonged to. The hangar bay on the ship immediately began to open, inviting me to fly in, which I did.
I passed through the barrier that kept the oxygen inside the ship, and began to land. Honestly, at first I was a little scared that I wouldn't be able to control the starships, since I don't remember what happened when I was at the academy, but all my fears disappeared when I sat at the helm. Something clicked in my head, and all the information on how to control the starship appeared in my brain.
As soon as I got out of my starship, I was met by two cat girls.
"Tatiana and Oksana, are you waiting for me?" I asked.
"Do boss, we want to take you to your cabin," Tatiana said cheerfully, and Oksana simply nodded.
Tatiana was a cheerful cat girl who saw everything in positive tones, and Oksana was rather quiet and very timid, but in emergency situations, she put the lives of her sisters first.
Yes, in our squadron, everyone considered each other sisters, and even if they call me boss, there is usually nothing respectful behind it. They just like to call me boss.
Soon I was escorted to my cabin, which was very large, as if I were in a ten-star hotel, and yes, such things exist in this world!
I needed to change clothes, because now I was in a tight-fitting pilot's suit, and although it did not restrict movement, and was very sexy, it was not suitable for someone who was going to lead the entire fleet.
I immediately took off the pilot's suit, and climbed into the closet where the uniforms were hung.
Without thinking twice, I put on a one-piece uniform with a skirt, it was about the same color as my usual jacket. The completion of my image of a military leader was a cap of the same color.
Perfect!
Of course, even though I'm dressed like this, you still can't tell that I'm a Marshal of the Planetary Army.
Having finished dressing, I left the cabin and headed to the elevator that took me up to the bridge.
As soon as I got up to the bridge, as expected, I saw a lot of screens, as well as a lot of sensors. And of course, there was a large glass in front of me, through which I could see space.
"Captain on the bridge!" I heard one of the girls from my squadron shout.
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted me. I wanted to tell them that it was unnecessary, but I didn't.
"At ease." I simply said, and they went back to their business.
"Miya, report the fleet's readiness status!" I said.
"As you command, boss! All ships have been set to the exact coordinates of the enemy system, we are awaiting your order to hyperspace." She said, to which I nodded.
"Okay, transmit my order to all ships. Go to hyperspace!" I said, and she immediately transmitted my order over the comms.
The next moments, I felt movement beneath me, meaning that the ship had begun to move, and the next moment, the space around me was blue, like in movies and games.
"ESTA - 5 hours," Miya said.
"Okay, as soon as we exit hyperspace, I want all ships to activate shields, full power. There is a possibility that the enemy is waiting for us as soon as we appear."
"Yes, boss!" She replied.
"Miya, I'm going for a walk, if the situation requires my intervention, contact me." I said, to which she nodded, and I left the bridge.
Honestly, I didn't expect the ship to be so big, it would take me several days to walk around it.
This is our first foray outside our solar system, not counting the hyperdrive testing. I am sure that after the destruction of the enemy, many expeditions will be sent to other systems, since this is the first time we will be able to get to other systems and other planets. Before this, we only had colonies on Mars, Mercury and a couple of other planets.
The main thing is that these expeditions do not find us an enemy that can be even more terrible than the current one.
Although these aliens are very similar to people, except that they grow horns. At first glance, you can assume that they are like demons from stories. Although the same can be said about me and other inhabitants of the earth, who have animal ears and tails or elven ears.
We tried many times to contact these "demons" to conduct diplomatic negotiations, but they were silent each time. What made me a little wary was that it was like they had no consciousness at all, like they were soulless machines.
"What is Welt Yang doing here?" I asked, looking at the gentleman with the cane.
To be honest, I didn't expect to meet him here, does that mean I'm in the Honkai universe?
"Do you know me?" he asked, adjusting his glasses.
"Not personally, but something… Anyway, since you're here, is there something you want?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Yes, I want to ask you to save the princess, the ones you're planning to destroy!" he said.
"Why? They're the enemy that attacked our planet and killed more than half of the population, so why would I save any of them?" I asked.
"I know about your situation, but I do not ask you to pardon them, on the contrary, I want you to destroy the planet and save only the princess," he said.
"Then I do not understand anything!" I answered.
"These aliens, as you call them, have long been dead! Those with whom you fought were the parasite that controls them. Only the queen and princess of that planet are left alive. But the queen does not have much time left, her life is already leaving her, and her daughter is not even two years old yet," I said.
"So, some parasite is to blame for the attack on our planet?" I asked.
"Yes," he answered briefly.
"Okay… But why did you come here personally to ask for help? Can't you save the girl yourself?" I asked.
"It's not that simple! I can't help directly, I'll break a lot of laws of the universe, and I won't be a good father. In fact, the queen is a good friend of mine, a long time ago the express stopped on this planet, and we helped them cope with the crisis. I gave the queen a beacon that would warn me if something happened. But I didn't have time, the whole world was captured, and all its people were dead," he said.
I just sighed.
"Okay, I'll save the girl!" I answered, since I loved children very much, and knowing that somewhere out there there was a little girl who could die at any moment was too much for me!
"Thank you!" he answered, bowing and abruptly disappeared.
I can't believe that in one of my past lives, I met Welt Yang, it's something beyond fantasy.
But I hope that we'll make it in time before the worst happens…
