Chapter 1749 On the Eve of the Angel's Ring's Descent!
Tassilo walked down the corridor with a serious expression. When the passing Zanskar soldiers saw him, they all stepped aside to the sides of the corridor to stand at attention and salute, but Tassilo only nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then left.
His unapproachable attitude drew attention from many people, and even some unpleasant comments emerged.
"Colonel Tasilo, what's going on?"
Hey! You didn't know? It's all over.
"What's that noise? Tell me quickly!"
On the other side of the corridor, groups of two or three people were gathered together, quietly exchanging the latest news.
"The world we live in now does not seem to be the original world, but rather Earth at some point in the past."
"what?!"
The exclamation was quickly suppressed by those around them!
"Keep your voice down!! This is a matter of life and death! Unlike the fleet led by Colonel Tasilo, our group of personnel participating in this operation is strictly forbidden from investigating related matters, otherwise they will be executed!"
Those who were being suppressed couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
"And then you..."
The group exchanged glances and sighed silently.
"Because of Colonel Tasilo's fleet, only his Almassa-class spaceship remains. In addition, Lieutenant Colonel Duro's entire fleet was also destroyed."
"What? Two fleets, and only one Almase-class spaceship left? This..."
------
"absurd!!!"
The cup was smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces, and the fine wine also soaked the expensive carpet. But such extravagant waste did not distract Fons Kokach, who held real power in the Zanskar Empire and was Queen Maria's trusted right-hand man.
(Vons Kokács)
"Colonel Tasilo! I value you so much that I suppressed all dissent and entrusted you with such an important mission. After receiving your request for assistance, I dispatched a fleet led by Lieutenant Colonel Duro to support you. And how did you respond to all of this?"
Standing at the pinnacle of power in the Zanskar Empire, the bald man stared intently with his single eye at Tasilo, who should have returned victorious but instead brought news of defeat and the annihilation of his fleet.
"This is my dereliction of duty! I am willing to take full responsibility, Lord Kokach."
Tassilo bowed his head sincerely in apology.
"Responsibility? How will you take responsibility?! Tasilo!! Her Majesty the Queen's Wheel of Angels is about to arrive here! We have already failed in our duty by failing to create a safe haven for Her Majesty before her arrival!!"
Kokach picked up his cane and jabbed it heavily into the floor several times.
The heavy sound struck Tassillo's heart repeatedly like a hammer, causing him to feel his breath catch in his throat several times, making him extremely uncomfortable.
But he could only silently endure it, waiting for Kokach's anger to subside.
Seeing that Tassilo was unwilling to defend himself and was willing to be beaten and scolded, Kokachi took several deep breaths and finally snorted coldly.
"Tell me, what exactly did you discover?"
"Yes, Lord Kokach. This world is not the past that MR spoke of. No, it should be said that this world has variables that do not exist in the history books we know."

Earth-Mars transfer orbit, on the Earth's side of the space.
As the Judgment successfully rendezvoused with the fleet led by Tiam, both sides sent personnel to a strategic meeting to prepare for the upcoming battle. The location was none other than the Judgment, a space battleship belonging to the Punishment Force.
"This warship is quite impressive. Your eye for detail is always astounding, Colonel Ming."
Under He Ming's guidance, after circling around the Irish-class spaceship named after the Judgment, it would be a lie to say that Tianm wasn't tempted.
If it weren't for the impending attack on the Zanskar Empire, Tiam would have considered going back to Anaheim Electronics and asking for an Irish-class spaceship to play with.
"The Goldland is not bad either, General Tiam."
The fleet led by Tiam was the space fleet with the Alexander-class space battleship Gaudran as its flagship.
It's quite a strange story.
The Irish-class and Alexander-class space battleships, which fought to the death during the Grips War due to their opposing factions and differing ideologies, and which ultimately met different fates after the war due to the defeat of one side, surprisingly had the opportunity to fight together again.
"Ahem. There's only one USS Goldland. Colonel Ming, I'm sure you understand."
Tianm used coughing to mask his inner thoughts.
"I think Anaheim should be able to get a lot of orders after this battle."
He Ming said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Tianm's expression turned serious, and he looked at He Ming with a solemn gaze.
"Colonel Ming, do you believe the Wheel of Angels is merely the beginning of unrest?"
"Yes. I have that feeling. In the past, large-scale dimensional quakes would drag various worlds out of their respective spacetimes and merge them into this world. Along with that came monsters that appeared everywhere."
He Ming stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air.
"And General Tiam, don't you think the BETA crisis triggered by the last dimensional quake was a bit too minor compared to the previous two dimensional quakes?"
Tianm pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
“Indeed. At first, we concluded that the mastermind might be facing some kind of energy shortage problem because of the frequent dimensional tremors. But now that you say this, it seems that an even more terrible crisis is brewing.”
Recalling the Angel's Wheel that He Ming had mentioned, Tiam couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"If we follow this line of reasoning, the Angel Wheel, a device capable of influencing all of humanity, would not be an isolated case."
"That's true. And perhaps something similar existed before the Angel's Wheel."
Seeing that the time was right, He Ming also revealed the true purpose of a certain emperor.
"There's already something similar?"
Tiam truly deserves to be called a renowned general of the Earth Federation.
He Ming had already guessed the general idea by only giving a slight advance notice.
"Colonel Ming, you must be referring to the emperor of the Britannian Empire, right?"
"As expected of General Tiam. Yes. Emperor Charles DI Britannia is pursuing some kind of power and has a plan to use a system called the Sword of Akasha to achieve a certain purpose."
Hearing He Ming's praise, Tianm did not feel proud, but instead became worried.
The general, who was already worried about this chaotic, unpredictable, and extremely complex world, was now surprised to realize that the apparent chaos was not so terrible.
What's terrifying is the terrifying power hidden beneath that chaotic surface, a power capable of annihilating humanity in an instant.
