Chapter 573: Intimidation (Part 1)

Seton's Federal Capital, Baudelaire Mansion.

In the spacious and luxurious banquet hall, many celebrities have already arrived! The men are well-dressed and elegant, while the women are bright and beautiful, and they are dressed in time! At this time, they are gathering together in groups of three or three, discussing topics of interest to them! Since the protagonists of the banquet have not appeared yet, the dinner has not officially begun.

The most concerned topic among the people is the recent situation in the Prison Soul Star Sea! As the army of the Tiloya Empire stepped up its offensive, the once stable defense line showed signs of collapse again!

For this reason, the bigwigs in the alliance have to find ways to deal with the imperial army again in order to protect the authority in their hands!

Regarding the Alliance and the superpower north of the Star Sea: The secret relationship between the Star Empire is no longer a secret at the upper level of the Alliance! It is precisely because of the great power's spared no effort to support it that the Alliance has been able to support it until now!

Therefore, they were not surprised by the decision of several members of the alliance to incorporate into the Star Empire. There is no free lunch in the world, and after receiving so much assistance from others, they naturally have to pay a price! Moreover, with the current situation of the alliance, they are simply unable to compete with the offensive of the Tiloya Empire!

But not long ago, a behemoth who could not afford to be even more abusive! The envoy of the Gnaslok Empire brought the edict of Ulyonov IV to demand that the entire alliance declare his allegiance to the empire. For this reason, they were willing to give the alliance the necessary assistance to resist the Tiloya Empire for them.

As a result, the big guys who had made up their minds to be loyal to the Starlight Empire began to look back and hesitate again!

Although the Starlight Empire is also a superpower, it has only risen for a few years, and its potential deterrence to them is obviously not as powerful as the No. 1 Empire in the world!

After several struggles, except for Xia Qiying, the head of the Monroe Star Populist Group, the rest of them tend to choose to be loyal to the Gnaslock Empire!

As for whether this move will completely anger the big country in the north and cause unimaginable trouble to the alliance, they have chosen to ignore it!

As long as they join the First Empire, these troubles should not be a problem! They comfort themselves in their hearts!

Therefore, they neglected the advance fleet of the Starlight Empire and planned to further strengthen their relationship with Duke Aubrey, and sacrificed their allies for this!

"His Royal Highness the Duke should be coming soon?"

In the study, Baudelaire asked his butler.

"Your Excellency, His Highness's fleet has set out for nearly an hour. I believe it will arrive soon!" The butler replied respectfully.

Baudelaire nodded, waved his hand to signal him to exit, and then looked at the allies next to him.

"Do you think this approach is really appropriate?" Wilbert said hesitantly.

"The court of the Northern Kingdom is still very friendly to us and has been helping us. We can support us until now because of them! Now, because of the false words of that guy Aubrey, he has to change his flag and change his banner to loyal to them. This decision is not very good no matter how you look at it!"

Diveria sighed: "But the strength of the First Empire is stronger than the Star Empire, right? If we want to surrender, of course we can only choose the stronger one! Although the country in the north is good to us, don't we also provide a lot of their resources at a low price? It's not considered owing them!"

Baudelaire also echoed: "That's true that Ulionov IV is a brilliant and talented person, and is the best candidate who has the most hope of unifying the Star Sea! It is natural for us to choose him. As for the Northern Court, it is still hard to say how long it can last! It is simply a delusion to even get involved in the Prison Soul Star Sea!"

Xia Qiying, dressed up, sneered: "You have a good idea! But don't think about it. No matter how strong the Gnaslok Empire is, do you still have the strength to care about you now? The threat from the Tiloya Empire is so close. The old ghost Ferossi will not be open to you just because you surrendered to that empire! There will be no second thing that can make him retreat except for his strength!"

"When the time comes, what do you use to fight against Ferossi's legion? What do you use to face the anger of the court in the north? Just rely on Aubrey's half a million fleet?"

Baudelaire said a little embarrassedly: "This... should not be a problem! With the strong strength of the First Empire, it is not difficult to draw some legions over here! His Highness Duke Aubrey also said that as long as we swear allegiance, he will immediately ask His Majesty the Emperor to send additional reinforcements!"

"What's more, as long as you marry His Highness the Duke and your relationship is closer, it's even more impossible for him to abandon us!"

"That emperor is fighting with Shalestin's alliance, how can he have time to deal with us?" Xia Qiying said angrily, "In the end, we have to rely on our own strength to resist the Tiloya Empire! You forced me to obey that old ghost, thinking that this would allow you to rest assured? What a joke!"

"The fleet of the Star Light Empire is stationed near this star field, and their emperor is about to arrive! At that time, I think what you do?"

Devrai hesitated and said, "No matter how powerful that Yun Haoyu is, he dare not take the risk of angering the First Empire to make things difficult for us, right?"

Xia Qiying was too lazy to argue about this kind of self-righteous judgment! She just felt disappointed. These guys were still smart in the past, but now they are all more confused than the other!

At this moment, the light brain on Baudelaire's wrist trembled slightly. He looked down and his face changed wildly, and his body trembled like a storm!

"What happened?" Wilbert asked in confusion.

"Those madmen from the Starlight Empire have caused us a huge disaster!" His voice trembled.

"What?" everyone asked in unison.

In the banquet hall, the relaxed and quiet atmosphere is no longer there, with an elegant and noble atmosphere! Instead, it is replaced by the solemn and bloody as if it is as calm as a mountain!

Thousands of fully armed high-level psychics surrounded the entire mansion! The leader Fu Chengxiang, Zhao Qingyang, and two god-level powerful men stood proudly in the center of the hall, with a pile of bloody heads under their feet!

The invited guests panicked and gave in to the other end of the hall, crowded together, and looked at the uninvited guests with strong murderous aura around them in panic!

"Where is your master? Ask them to speak!" Fu Chengxiang held the sword and said in a calm tone.

Several supervisors with weak hands and feet rushed towards the secret room as if they were running away. On the way, they saw several big bosses walking over with a deep face!

Seeing them appear, Fu Chengxiang smiled and greeted: "Dear Honorables, today is such a good day!"

The big guys' expressions froze. Good days? What good days? Is it a good day to kill people? It's true that these lawless guys came to find fault on purpose?

"Two generals, what do you mean?" Baudelaire asked in surprise and angrily.

"It's not interesting!" Zhao Qingyang said coldly,

"We were very happy to hear that you were planning to host a banquet for the envoys of the Gnaslok Empire when we learned about it. We specially sent you some gifts to express our feelings!"

As he said that, he raised a head under his feet with the tip of his sword, threw it gently, and threw it at Baudelaire's feet!

The guy subconsciously looked down and caught a glimpse of Aubrey's gray-white face filled with astonishment and fear. A few red and white brains splashed on his spotless high-end leather shoes!

"You...you..." Baudelaire pointed at him, trembling and unable to speak! I don't know if it was angry or scared!

The remaining guys looked extremely ugly, but Xia Qiying's beautiful eyes drooped, covering up the smile of relief.

"Two generals, I think you need to give a reasonable explanation for your behavior! Otherwise, even if you are important figures in the Starry Empire, don't blame us for being unpolite!" William finally calmed down and said with a harsh and timid appearance.

"Explanation?" Fu Chengxiang sneered and said, "Okay! I'll give you an explanation!"

"Everyone, according to the previous agreement between the Empire and you, as long as His Majesty the Emperor successfully conquers the Shufeng Empire and enters the Tianhua Star Realm, you will swear allegiance to the Empire and become the ministers of the Empire! In exchange, we will send troops to help you resist the army of the Tiloya Empire! Is that true?"

"…Yes, but…" Baudelaire said.

Fu Chengxiang interrupted him without hesitation: "That's good! Since you still agree with this agreement, why are you hooking up with the people of the Gnaslock Empire? Could it be that you still want to get along with each other?"

"God General, this is our internal affairs, you have no right to inquire about it!" Weibert defended himself.

"Internal Affairs?" Fu Chengxiang sneered,

"Gentlemen, I seem to remember that His Majesty the Emperor just promised to grant you dukes, but he did not allow you to retain a semi-independent autonomous regime? Can I understand this as if you were planning to betray the agreement and the empire?"

"No! Not so! We..." Deferia also wanted to defend herself.

"I'll just ask you one thing now!" Fu Chengxiang's heavy sword in his hand drew a light arc, pointing the tip of the sword at Baudelaire:

"After receiving so much help from us, we have now promised to send troops to help you clean up the Tiloya Empire! But you are still thinking about crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and intend to kick us away and surrender to the Gnaslok Empire. Do you really think we are Kaizi?"

"Now, we have killed this person, what should we do next? You should give a clear answer!"

Baudelaire said weakly: "You dare to kill the envoy of the Gnaslok Empire, aren't you afraid of revenge? No matter how strong you are, you cannot be the opponent of the First Empire!"

"You don't have to worry about this! The Gnaslok Empire will naturally be dealt with!" Zhao Qingyang said hard, "You just need to swear allegiance to our Emperor!"

Baudelaire wanted to say something, but the light brain on his wrist trembled again. When he saw the contents clearly, his body shook and almost collapsed on the spot!
