There and Back

More than one hundred warp tunnels suddenly opened, and a massive fleet containing two capital ships appeared in the pitch darkness of space.

The excited Xia Fei tapped on the control console and had his Vampire slowly approach the escort fleet.

"Eh? Why does one fleet seem like it's going back?" Xia Fei asked in surprise.

Halleh replied, "The first fleet is a border force. They aren't qualified to enter the imperial capital region, so they are switching out with the internal force's fleet. Uti has always been extremely cautious. Other than his personal soldiers, he forbids any other armies from approaching the capital, and those who do will be punished as traitors."

Xia Fei nodded. This sort of thing was rather common since ancient times. It was no wonder the fleet had paused here for a little. It was for a changing of the guard.
