Chapter 916 The Eve of Victory
After listening to Wei Feifei's story, Xiao Junling was silent for a long time before shook his head and sighed:
"I have seen the shamelessness of such a senior politician today! As the saying goes, people are shameless and invincible! If he could control power by relying solely on shamelessness, he would have long been the number one person in Xinghai now!"
Yang Yueqi said lightly: "This kind of old thing is probably not even a politician. She can only be considered a political hooligan without a minimum moral bottom line! It's really whimsical to expect that a few crying in front of the Supreme Consul can clear his son's charges?
Wei Feifei said helplessly: "Your Highness, the responsibility for the matter is indeed all on Zhuang Biren's side! But his father's behavior... Your Excellency Wei Zhenhua is also in a difficult situation! It would be better if this is better. The internal wanted order of the Imperial Security Department was temporarily cancelled. In exchange, Zhuang Chenglin must send his son to the front line for trial! Then discuss the results of the handling at the Grand Administrator's meeting!"
Xiao Junling said calmly: "I don't care about this. All I care about is whether he will lose his head! That old ghost must be trying to lobby public relations around and try to save his son's life, right?"
Wei Feifei smiled and said, "It's now, how many people do you think will come forward to speak for him? The reason for this is just to take care of his last bit of dignity and dignity as the great consul!"
"Okay!" Xiao Junling nodded and said:
"Since this is what Your Excellency Wei Zhenhua mean, I won't say anything! Let's see how much power and influence the old gangster still has!"
The two sides had a while of talk and finally agreed that all the rare resources needed for Wei Yun's recovery and the pension for the fallen psychics were paid in full by the imperial authorities; and Zhuang Biren was handed over to the Imperial Military Court for trial! In exchange, Xiao Junling was not allowed to continue to cause trouble for the banker before the end of the war, and the empire must be based on stability!
A day later, Zhuang Biren surrendered under his father's persuasion and was immediately escorted to the Northwest Front, and the trial was immediately opened by the special military court!
Since this is during the war, everything must be efficient! Therefore, in just two days, all the legal procedures were completed in the case and the final verdict was reached!
During this period, Zhuang Chenglin used almost all the connections he had at hand to visit the remaining consuls and the top figures of all the forces in the imperial capital one by one, and promised various conditions and benefits, hoping that they could help plead for their son!
However, at this time, those with a little vision understand that this old man who has been living in the imperial political circles for the rest of his life has become extremely unoptimistic!
Having offended a person like Xiao Junling, he had little friendship with the Supreme Consul. In the past, it could even be said that it was a hostile relationship, so the other party would help him, so there would be a ghost!
Especially his political enemies in the past, they all saw the right time and attacked them one after another! They took out all the bad deeds of him and his son, sorted them out into secret reports and sent them to Wei Zhenhua.
Many people even think this is a rare opportunity to get in touch with Xiao Junling. While pleasing him, they can also destroy this old rival, which is a killing of two birds with one stone! Therefore, those powerful officials and upper-class people all contacted the young saint in private and expressed their intention to form alliances, cooperation and even defect.
Unsurprisingly, at the final trial verdict, Marshal Yin Guoxuan, who served as the presiding officer, read Zhuang Biren's many crimes in an indifferent tone, made a sentence of death and immediately executed!
At this point, the trial result can be changed unless it is a collective decision of the Grand Consort Council or a special amnesty order issued by the Supreme Consort himself!
That night, Wei Zhenhua presided over a meeting of the Grand Consuls. Marshal Yin Guoxuan, who was in charge of the trial, once again explained the case information and the reasons for the judgment to the bigwigs attending the meeting. Then Lieutenant General Chen Lijun presented the secret investigation results of the imperial security department, and the listed facts were exactly consistent with the information provided by the Marshal!
Then the great consuls expressed their opinions, including the top military leaders and representatives of the national security system. Most people believed that Zhuang Biren's crimes should not be forgiven! Even Zheng Yuanqing, who had always maintained a strong ally with Zhuang Chenglin, remained silent under pressure.
"Since that's the case, everyone will vote to decide whether it is necessary to modify the verdict!" Wei Zhenhua said last.
After a few minutes, the result came out. The nine great consuls who had the right to vote, plus the Great Saint and Xiao Junling, had a total of eleven votes, including nine votes in favor, one vote against, and one abstained!
There is no suspense about the matter at this point. That night, Zhuang Biren was secretly executed!
…………
In the Gambino camp.
"Dear Brothers Tusnazl, what do you think we should do now?" asked the worried Holy Lord Hemur in the hall.
The current situation of the Expedition Legion is indeed extremely worrying. Although the assassination of the highest consul of China was successful, the price they paid was obviously much greater! The four scepters of the Saint Lord fell and two scepters of the Saint Lord were injured. At least for now, it is unlikely that he will return to the battlefield!
So these days, they have not made any moves, and the two sides of the front are in a stalemate!
When the war is like this, under normal circumstances, we should consider ending the war and withdrawing troops directly back to our country! However, the latest news from the empire has made the Saint Tusnazl in a dilemma!
A few days ago, another messenger spacecraft from the empire finally arrived at the front line with difficulty, bringing bad news that the Civilized Purgators Legion appeared in the empire!
The Doomsday Emperor, who was terrifying at the strength of both ends, not only managed to kill many powerful men of the Saint-level scepter, but also communicated with the void with unknown means, reopened the space channel, causing a large number of elite civilized purges to suddenly arrive!
Caught off guard, the various losses suffered by the empire were unimaginable! During the Temple Conference, the remaining scepters of the Scepter had ordered the empire to enter a state of emergency and drew legions from all overseas territories to put out the fire! They even sent a message of help to the Expeditionary Legion of the Star Sea World!
But if such an action can have some effect, only God knows!
Saint Tusnazl said in a depressing voice: "What else can I do now? I can withdraw my troops immediately and force my troops to support the empire's land!"
The Saint Seidlan, whose injuries were not healed, said weakly: "But even if we go back, can we turn the situation around? According to the news brought by the messenger, the high-level individuals in the Civilization Purgatory Legion are far beyond our imagination! With the existing military strength of the empire alone, I'm afraid there is no hope of escaping this disaster!"
Several big shots couldn't help but go silent.
The strength of the Expedition Legion may still be considered powerful, but it is hard to say whether it can win in the face of the extremely vicious Civilization Purgator Legion! This time the empire is not facing the immature legions of the past, but the real elite force!
In fact, for them now, the best result is to capture and occupy the entire Star Sea World. With the rich resources here, they will grow into a huge super empire in a few years!
At that time, the tribesmen in the empire might have been destroyed, but the empire's territory after being cleaned will become unprecedentedly safe! They can completely occupy it and become the supreme ruler of this super civilization! As long as the civilized Purgator Legion no longer comes to visit!
Unfortunately, this is just a concept! Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to continue to defeat and conquer the Star Sea Alliance!
"... Perhaps, we can continue to negotiate with them and strive for the most favorable result..." Saint Hemur shook his head and denied his opinion.
It's time now, how could the coalition forces still negotiate with them?
"Forget it, notify all tribe members and prepare to withdraw troops, right?" In the end, Saint Tusnazl said bitterly.
Although it was very unwilling to do so, it had no choice! After all, the logistics reserves of the entire Expeditionary Legion were limited, and now it could no longer receive support from the empire, and local materials could not fully meet the needs! Once the reserves were exhausted, the combat effectiveness of the Expeditionary Legion would decline significantly, and the situation would be even more troublesome!
…………
"The war is over!" At the top of the war fortress, Xiao Junling, who was fully armed, stared at the vast starry sea above his head and said lightly.
Xue Cangyun, who has been promoted to the Grand Consul, said: "Although your strategy is simple and direct, you still take certain risks! Anyway, victory is in sight, why should you be anxious about this moment?"
Xiao Junling shook his head and said, "The Gambinos are not stupid either. The current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to them! If this continues, they may take the initiative to withdraw their troops!"
"Isn't this better for us?" said Marshal Lin Yixiong.
In his opinion, it is indeed a very ideal result to let the Gambinos retreat without sending troops!
Xiao Junling said: "That's it! But I always feel that it would be a pity to let them go like this. You have to get more benefits from them, right?"
Xue Cangyun thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay then! Be careful, we are waiting for your good news here!"
A silver light gate several meters high appeared, and the next second, Xiao Junling, led Xi Chenqinglan, disappeared into it.
When they appeared again, they were already outside the line of defense. Ripples appeared in the void in front of them, and a light green cloud of light appeared slowly. A graceful girl was sitting inside! A series of pure golden light belts lingered around her body, and countless light petals appeared faintly inside!
"How can you forget someone if you have something good?" Guangyun slowly closed, and the girl in red dress appeared and said with a smile.
Xiao Junling smiled and said, "Since you are here, let's go together!"
So the three of them teleported together again. With the help of the artifact, the artifact, Yingtian Ge, had approached the depths of the Gambinos' heavily guarded camp after a few breaths. The palace of the Saint of the Scepter was quietly suspended in the core area of the legion.
Chapter completed!
