Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy Officer (Part 1) Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy Officer (Part 1) “General, you’re awake?” a gentle voice came through.
A figure opened their eyes within the vast hibernation chamber, glanced at the person beside them indifferently, and grunted an acknowledgment.
There was not a hint of sleepiness on her face as she got up nimbly and walked to the large display screen.
Behind her, the one who had called her awake was now observing her with an inexplicable expression.
This was a very handsome woman.
Describing a woman as handsome is usually not quite fitting, yet in this woman’s case, it was utterly appropriate.
They say men in military attire are the handsomest, and this saying applies equally well to women.
The form-fitting design of the Empire’s military uniform meticulously traced her erect figure, and beneath the neatly cropped short hair was a perfect face, androgynous in its beauty. A mere glance from those unemotional brown eyes was enough to captivate most citizens of the Empire.
This time, the world Gu Shengyin had come to was different from any before.
In the year 10003 of the Great Galaxy Chronology, humanity had entered an era of super-technology. The planets they inhabited were no longer sufficient; the entire Milky Way, and even more remote and unfathomable realms of interstellar space, were their targets for conquest.
Humans of the present could enhance their genes with various gene repair solutions to gain strong abilities and vitality. The average human lifespan had been extended to five hundred years, and of course, for those at the pinnacle of power, life spans could be even longer.
For example, the body that Gu Shengyin had transmigrated into this time–the Galactic Empire’s only female admiral, Situ Jin.
The Galactic Empire was one of the two major forces in the Milky Way, where humans now lived, the other being the Interstellar Federation that boasted of its freedom and democracy.
Situ Jin was born into one of the Empire’s Prominent families, yet had no interest in the cutthroat political games. At eighteen, she was admitted to the Empire Military Academy on her own merit, and five years later, she graduated with SSS grades and went straight into the Raging Lion Legion, one of the Three Ace Legions of the Empire.
In the following twenty years, she climbed steadily upward until last year, when the Empire’s Emperor personally handed her a medal of honor, making her the Legion Commander of the Raging Lion Legion.
Besides the Marshal, the highest military rank in the Empire was that of Legion Commander of the Three Ace Legions, or the Empire’s Three Admirals.
Situ Jin was not only the sole Commander among them but also the youngest Admiral in the history of the Empire.
The people of the Empire speculated that if she continued at this rate, Situ Jin could very well become the first female Marshal in the history of the Galactic Empire.
But Situ Jin wouldn’t get that far, for the reason stood right behind her with a benign face–the adjutant Lin Qii.
Lin Qii, Situ Jin’s adjutant, was one of her most trusted aides, as well as one of the people she trusted the most in this world.
However, this most trusted person betrayed her during a major battle with the Federation.
Situ Jin died in one of those battles between the Empire and the Federation, and she was the highest-ranking Commander to be directly killed on the battlefield in the millennium-long rivalry between the Empire and the Federation.
The Empire’s Emperor was enraged. What had been minor skirmishes escalated into full-scale war due to this incident, and from then on, the two sides were locked in a fight to the death. The war spread throughout the entire star system, plunging the whole Milky Way into chaos.
But that’s another story.
Having seen the plot, Gu Shengyin realized that her adjutant wasn’t actually Lin Qii at all. Her arrival at the Raging Lion Legion to become her adjutant was no coincidence; it was premeditated, step by step.
