Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters Hundred Ghosts Night (5)
Tian Mercury Field.**《》*
The capital of the star domain is located in a small star system with two administrative planets. The local garrison headquarters is located on a nearby abandoned resource planet, which is only a few hundred light seconds away from the capital planet.
Since this place is near the main channel of the Empire CVF9607 and its strategic location is relatively important, the scale of this military region is relatively large. There are about 2,000 warships guarding the base, and nearly 1,000 abilities. The fleet that has been patrolling abroad for many years is about 10,000.
However, at this time, the entire base was under martial law. More than 40,000 elite warships from somewhere surrounded the planet and confronted the three thousand warships located in the planet's atmosphere. They were quite inconsistent with the situation and wanted to fight!
The warships outside do not have any signs of identity, so it is impossible to determine which force they come from. The warships inside are all engraved with the unique hexagonal silver-light dragon patterns of the royal family, indicating that they are all part of the imperial guards.
Inside the base, in the living room of the senior officer villa, Marshal Gulons stared at the number of general-level officers in front of him with anger and sneered slightly:
"You are very brave, and the masters behind you are all lawless! Do you dare to hijack the Imperial Marshal's plan to be ill-gotten, aren't you afraid of being exterminated after defeat?"
The major general in the lead was named Lin Yingfeng, the commander of the Tianshui Planet garrison. He hesitated for a moment and insisted on saying:
"Why do you have to be angry with the marshal? I am just taking orders! As long as the marshal does not leave the base, no matter what requests, I will do my best to satisfy them! I hope you don't let me be embarrassed."
Guluns narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds, and said sarcastically: "It seems that the master behind you is very calm! Since he is planning to raise an uprising, but he refuses to kill me immediately, are he still planning to surrender me?"
A hint of joy flashed in Lin Yingfeng's eyes, and he immediately said: "The Marshal is a veteran of the five dynasties and a pillar of the empire. If you can cooperate with us, the title of a hereditary prince is indispensable when the world is settled! In addition, you will be given the position of the Minister of the Emperor and the Director of the Emperor. The fief is thirty star fields, and various treatments and privileges can be compared to the future royal princes! Of course, if you have other requests, you might as well propose them together. As long as it can be done, we will agree!"
"Is that so? The price is pretty good!" Guluns leaned lazily on the sofa.
"In order to buy me, the old man, your master is really willing to spend all his money! Well, let me hear who your master is, right?"
"This..." Lin Yingfeng hesitated for a moment and said:
"If the marshal agrees to cooperate now, please sign the alliance letter and make a public statement. Then, my master will come to welcome the marshal in person! Let's discuss the plan with you!"
Guluns shook his head and sighed with disappointment: "After all the time, your master may have a lot of power at hand, but his confidence is still not enough! He still refuses to reveal his identity. Do you still plan to leave a way out for himself?"
Lin Yingfeng said with a little embarrassed expression: "Sorry, Mr. Marshal, this is the order of my master, and it is not something I can do, so..."
"Then there is nothing to talk about!" Guluns waved his hand,
"A guy who doesn't even dare to show his name wants me to swear allegiance? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Could it be that he always speaks like this when recruiting others? Then, I'm afraid few people are willing to surrender unknownly, right?"
"Okay! Since you don't want to do it now, you won't force it." Lin Yingfeng said calmly,
"I will tell you your thoughts truthfully. As for now, please rest assured!"
After saying that, he saluted and turned around and went out with a group of subordinates.
After the annoying guys left, Gulons gently pressed a dark button on the bottom of the table, and a school-level officer turned out from behind the screen.
"Marson Marshal, our people have figured out the scale of the opponent's troops!" the officer said after saluting,
"There are 40,000 warships in outer space, all of which are the latest 'Kun-Bi' class. However, the various signs on the ship have been erased, so it is impossible to tell which legion belongs to! Of course, with the combat effectiveness of our fleet, it should not be difficult to escort you out!"
"Even if you can rush out, the casualties will never be small, right?" Guluns said with a wry smile.
"For the marshal and for the empire! We are never afraid of sacrifice!" the officer said solemnly,
"The situation in the imperial capital is unclear. Those traitors and traitors attempt to take advantage of the opportunity of His Majesty being trapped to usurp the throne. Marshal, you must immediately rush back to take charge to shock those villains!"
Gulons seemed to be a little moved, and thought about it for a while, but still decided on her opinion:
"No, even if we can break through the blockade and leave the Tianshui Planet Domain, there is still a few thousand light years away from the imperial capital. Since the other party has already started to take action, they will never give up easily. Since they even dare to attack His Majesty's palace, we will definitely not miss the interceptions we encountered along the way! With our strength, it is impossible to return to the imperial capital safely, so let it go. I don't want the sacrifice of the children to become meaningless!"
"What should we do now?" the officer asked anxiously, "Are you just consuming here? Are those guys becoming more and more lawless in the imperial capital?"
"No, they won't succeed!" Guluns said slowly,
"Unless all the legions of the Empire have betrayed His Majesty, their final fate will be the guillotine!"
"As for us, it's okay to just take a few days off here. We have to see what other tricks their master can do!"
...
The imperial capital, the fifth planet, some magnificent mansion.
In the secret room, a slender figure stood quietly in front of a hyperspace communication device. After listening to his subordinates' reports, he was silent for a moment before he said leisurely:
"I understand, let's just do it for the time being, don't make things difficult for him! He will naturally change his mind after a while!"
As he said that, he turned off the communication device, turned around and sat down on the sofa again.
There were already more than ten people waiting indoors, nearly half of them were soldiers, and there were starry generals on their shoulders. Two of them were inlaid with three huge ruby generals on their shoulders!
After seeing him sit down, a middle-aged man closest to him on the left asked, "Your Excellency, is that marshal unwilling to cooperate?"
"Yes!" he sighed softly,
"Not only this person, but even Su Shangqing's answer was the same. There are still some remaining people who either directly refuse, or evade, shirk responsibility, and delay, and very few are willing to make a clear statement!"
The middle-aged man analyzed: "They are unwilling to express their opinions immediately. Do they still want to wait and see for a while? After all, they don't even know our origin and do not understand our strength, so they will naturally not surrender easily!"
He nodded and said, "Yes, the current situation is unclear. Many people and forces do not believe that the empire may change in the future. Therefore, even if they have some ideas, they cannot take action immediately. Even if they really want to change their course, they have to choose the easiest one to accomplish and ensure that there is enough reward for benefits! This is human nature, and there is nothing strange!"
"But the status and influence of these two people are too important," the middle-aged man frowned.
"If we can pull them over as soon as possible, our plan will be much smoother, so I think you can consider giving them some insights in advance! Guluns is a cunning guy and extremely smart. I won't mention him for now, but Su Shangqing should be easier to convince you."
"This...it does make some sense!" He pondered, "Okay! Let's think about this again. Now let's see where His Majesty's palace has gone."
The light and brain on the coffee table opened silently, and a three-dimensional projection star map appeared in front of everyone.
In the star map, nearly one million warships surrounded an asteroid with a diameter of 300 kilometers, just passed through a wormhole, and then readjusted into a marching formation in the void, and then continued to rush to the next wormhole at high speed. The whole process was orderly and neat, without any dragging, fully demonstrating the excellent qualities of the most elite legion of the empire!
Of course, because the observation distance is too far, the image is not very clear, but it is enough for those present to see the status of the legion.
The general sitting in the first place in the right head stood up and explained: "This is the image sent back by our eyeliner two hours ago. Your Majesty's palace has traveled across the entire southern border area and entered the Sanou Star Domain, which is located in the empire. At their speed, it is estimated that it will be possible to reach the vicinity of the Tianhua Star Domain in up to two weeks."
The middle-aged man looked a little solemn: "It seems that the second and third interceptions we arranged did not play much role at all! Not to mention being delayed, the other party did not even have a lot of casualties. It was okay for the first time. The next two times, the fleet we dispatched was considered the elite troops of the empire. Is it so unbearable for the performance in front of the Imperial Guards?"
A general sighed: "Hisser Duke, our fleet is indeed elite, but whether we can exert our due strength depends on the specific situation! Your Majesty's legion is commanded by Yang Wentao and backed by the Death Starship's main artillery. Only our interstellar fortresses will deliver vegetables to others?"
"As for the specific situations of these interceptions, everyone has understood, so I don't need to repeat them, right? So I think we can't make such mistakes again. We must preserve our strength and wait until the critical moment to cause trouble, instead of consuming a large amount of troops on the road unnecessary as we do now!"
Everyone knew what he was referring to. Although the generals who controlled these fleets had already been loyal to their leaders and were willing to take great risks to besiege His Majesty's palace, the numerous middle and lower-level officers may not be blindly following them. Whenever both sides fought, Yang Wentao would use the super-power electronic warfare system on the Death Starship to block all signals from the other party's command center, and then launch a propaganda offensive against the warships below, persuading them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!
Due to His Majesty's lofty prestige in the Emperor's regiment, this approach was quite effective. Even if the warships did not turn against each other immediately, they became hesitant about the offensive of the palace. With Yang Wentao's ability, there is no need to say much about the outcome of the battle.
This is the undesirable consequence of the hasty uprising! Although the leader had a long ambition and was secretly operating, bribing and winning over the ministers in the court and many senior generals, he had to worry about the eyes and ears of the imperial intelligence system and dare not be too impatient in everything, so as not to be targeted by too much noise. The fleet that blindly follows oneself from top to bottom is impossible to cultivate too many.
The young leader was silent for a while and finally said, "Everyone, our actions are indeed too urgent! But there is nothing we can do about it. It is not only our family who are staring at that location. If we don't act as soon as possible, we will inevitably let others take the lead!"
"The Prince is already starting to take action, and there is no need to say that the Xiao family is the real first heir after all, and has the advantage of orthodox status. If she ascends the throne, many officials in the court will not object! Although our current advantage is great enough, it is still very difficult to suppress these two families, plus some other forces!"
"So I suggest that we should stop thinking about the palace anymore. Leave this headache to them! I think they are more unwilling to see His Majesty return to the imperial capital than we do, so they will definitely do their best!"
This proposal is reasonable and everyone immediately agreed to pass it unanimously.
...
In the harem, Luo Qingyue and Zhong Xuying sat opposite each other.
After not seeing her for several months, her abdomen became more and more bulging, and it was less than a month before her due date. It is logical that she should rest quietly, but now the situation in the imperial capital is inexplicable, and drastic changes may occur at any time, so she has to force herself to continue to perform her duties.
"Sister, those guys are getting more and more arrogant!" Luo Qingyue gently stroked her belly, trying to suppress the anger in her heart:
"It's only been a few days! Your Majesty's palace has been sieged several times. Those guys clearly don't plan to let Your Majesty return to the imperial capital!"
"The temptation of supreme power is enough to make anyone lose their minds and become crazy!" Zhong Xuying sighed helplessly,
"Just talk about my brother! Are you just moving around now? I asked me to come to me yesterday and asked me to use the Imperial Guards in my hand to help him accomplish things. I scolded me back! But with his temperament, it is impossible to give up!"
"What should I do now?" Luo Qingyue gritted her teeth,
"It will take at least two weeks for the palace to arrive at the imperial capital. During this period, they still don't know how many vicious means they will use! Although Yang Wentao is extremely talented, his troops at hand have been greatly reduced in succession of battles. I'm afraid he won't last for that long!"
Zhong Xuying bit his lower lip, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes: "Since that's the case, then I will immediately call the fleet to set off to meet His Majesty!"
Chapter completed!
