Chapter 634: Important Military Secrets
(Planet Daxton- Unknown Location)
(Secret Military Base – Private Room)
“Yes… yes… I understand… do it then…” a cold feminine voice muttered softly as a figure walked through a long winding corridor.
She turned off her wrist communicator and tapped her palm against the scanners as she passed several heavily armed guards.
The figure appeared to be a woman in her early thirties who wore a golden military styled jacket, black track pants and a pair of heavy combat boots.
She was relatively attractive with sharp angular facial features and a lean muscular physique clearly a result of a lifetime of training.
She was missing an eye, but it had been replaced by a cybernetic implant that glowed slightly in the dark.
Commander Arianna was the one responsible for dispatching secret military personnel to locations that were… inconvenient for the normal troops of the Imperial Army.
She wandered through several corridors and side passageways until she arrived at an unremarkable metalloid door that had been reinforced by several steel plates.
“Delta… Alpha… five… three… seven…” Commander Arianna slowly whispered as a green light swept over her body multiple times.
A hole opened up in the centre of the door and without hesitation she stuck her right hand inside the opening.
A small needle pricked one of her fingers and a syringe withdrew a small sample of blood from her body.
This was an important safety measure to ensure that no one was impersonating her appearance.
It was a necessity in a universe where numerous shapeshifting aliens and peculiar cultivation techniques existed.
Commander Arianna waited patiently until a small humming noise came from the other side of the door.
The metalloid barricade swung open, and she stepped inside with quiet footsteps. The interior of the room was identical to that of a typical command center.
There were several rows of battle stations that consisted of a desk and a device that was connected to the private Virtual Net server of the Imperial Army.
Every screen was black at least for now.
In the center of the room was large hologram projector that was currently displaying a map of the Earth Federation.
Several areas of the map were dotted with reddish spots, and it was those locations that drew the female commander’s attention.
She walked up to the holographic display and tapped the reddish spot that was located in a region of space known as the Gamoran Sector.
Not a particularly noteworthy region since there was a scarcity of natural resources and most of the planets were yet to be properly terraformed.
Still, it was the home of at least two billion humans and three hundred million Quafes so there was a sizeable population.
Commander Arianna let out a heavy sigh as she tapped the dot and several screens appeared in mid air.
She glanced at each screen and saw that information about the attacks by the Insectoid Empire were being updated in real time.
Fifteen planets had fallen so far which sounded like a large number but those planets were mainly in the outer regions of the Gamoran Sector.
The densely populated planets were located beyond an asteroid belt and for now it appeared that the Insectoid Empire had no interest in attacking them.
The commander’s artificial eye glowed with an eerie light as she felt her wrist communicator vibrate slightly.
She checked her inbox and saw several messages from the higher ups in the army. Apparently, they planned on sending Grand Admiral Cooper to deal with the invasion.
Commander Arianna had to admit that he was an ‘effective’ man. His methods although brutal got the job done.
And that was all that mattered.
The commander quickly replied to the message stating that she understood the wishes of the higher ups.
She tapped on an area next to the Gamoran Sector and hummed thoughtfully to herself. The Hydra Star System was only a few hundred light years away.
There were several military bases located in the Mendolesa controlled region of the Earth Federation as well as Zrudread University.
Commander Arianna rubbed her chin as she sent out a series of orders. Reinforcements from the secret military army would meet directly with the grand admiral.
In addition, it would not hurt to send out invitations for the university and the mercenary guilds in the region to participate.
One of the screens in the corner of the room began to flicker which drew the attention of the commander who walked over to see what was happening.
A handsome young man with curly black hair and piercing green eyes appeared on the monitor and he stared at her with a cheeky grin on his face.
It was a familiar sight to the commander who felt her lips gently curved upwards despite her best efforts to suppress her feelings.
“My prince… you must be careful… if there was someone else in here then it could have been exposed that I gave you access to one of our devices…” Commander Arianna gently spoke.
Crown Prince Theon had an apologetic expression on his face as he stared at the woman who was clearly in love with him.
The reddish crystals in his palm had already begun to melt into his skin and he felt his body move automatically without him even needing to think.
The experience was almost like being a passenger in your own body. It should have been a concerning feeling, but Theon’s mind had long begun to crack.
“My love… as the next leader of the human side of the Earth Federation, I am merely learning about my military in advance,” Prince Theon cheekily spoke.
Commander Arianna felt her heart flutter as the handsome prince whispered words of love and sweet nothings.
She absentmindedly touched the necklace that hung on her neck and her fingers grazed the reddish crystal in the center of the pendant.
This necklace had been a gift from the prince himself and touching it always gave the female commander a sense of tranquility.
She still remembered meeting the prince for the first time during a grand banquet held in his estate.
Members of the Imperial Army were technically required to remain neutral but with the interference of various powerful noble forces…
This law was more of a suggestion that anything that was actually enforced.
“Do you have the data that I requested? I wish to learn more about the different battle units of the Imperial Army,” Prince Theon gently spoke.
“If I am to lead my people wisely then I need to be a knowledgeable monarch.”
Commander Arianna nodded, and her hand gently squeezed the reddish crystal once more before she accessed her wrist communicator and sent a series of documents to the prince.
The pair communicated for a few more minutes before a loud knock on the door interrupted their sweet conversation.
A series of humming noises were heard as the scanner embedded in the door verified the identities of those on the other side.
Prince Theon waved goodbye at his lover and then ended the call. Commander Arianna removed the warm smile on her face and returned to her position by the hologram projector.
She wore an expressionless mask on her face as several officers walked into the room and took their seats.
No one could have possibly known that their commander had just given out important military secrets to one of the princes belonging to humanity’s royal family.
