The eastern part of the Milky Way, Minghua Star Field.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Young Master Luo Yuan crossed his hands on his hips, staring out the window expressionlessly, and a group of servants with automated robots were busy in the distance, arranging various scenery furnishings in the new mansion according to his wishes.

This place is the territory of a consortium in the eastern part of the galaxy, and after more than two months here, he has temporarily shaken off the frustration and disappointment of the original evacuation of the Minero Empire, and plans to regain his strength and run it well.

A moment later, the sound of the butler's gentle footsteps came from outside.

"What is the situation in the Zilan Empire now?" he asked without looking back.

"It's basically stabilized. The butler replied with a slight bow.

"Stable?"

Luo Yuan's face was a little unsightly, and he questioned: "Zhao Xinglan destroyed four countries at once and annexed such a large territory, did the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in those places actually refuse to get up and make trouble?

In his opinion, the territory of hundreds of star fields, all kinds of old forces are intertwined and deep-rooted, and now once the world is changed, these vested interests will never be willing to be ruled by an outsider, as long as they can take the opportunity to incite trouble and disrupt local order, they will definitely be able to greatly contain the power of the new regime, so that Empress Zhao Xinglan is anxious and tired of coping in order to stabilize the domestic situation.

The butler sighed and said, "At first, someone did jump out to make trouble, but unfortunately they were soon purged by the people from the Imperial Secret Department together with the military. And no matter who is involved, they will not tolerate compromise, and the old aristocratic forces that were destroyed within a month are as many as thousands. ”

"So by now, the voice of daring to speak out has completely disappeared, and no one dares to question the authority of Her Majesty the Empress. ”

Young Master Luo Yuan's face changed uncertainly, and he said in a low voice after a while: "There are so many families, so many people, how dare she kill them all...... Aren't you afraid that you will have a reputation for being violent and murderous, and even stir up a popular uprising?"

The housekeeper just shook his head, this Zhao Xinglan didn't seem to plan to sit down with those guys to have a good talk at the beginning, but came up and used high-pressure and bloody means to solve it, no matter what kind of adverse consequences this would cause.

In fact, to be fair, there are many ways to establish authority and consolidate position, but the most effective means undoubtedly belong to iron and blood. As long as all those who are disgruntled and dare to stir up trouble are slaughtered, the rest will naturally be obedient to the people, and the contradiction of unstable power will no longer exist.

After several rounds of large-scale bloody purges, the local vested interests were slaughtered, and the remaining people were frightened and expressed their unconditional support for the rule of the new regime, and the situation in the Zilan Empire was quickly stabilized, and no one dared to fight against the new government.

Now that the Imperial Cabinet has begun to take stock of its own affairs, rectify its internal and financial order, formulate a nationwide plan for economic and technological development, and most importantly, a plan for the expansion of armaments, it is no different from a mature and unified powerful regime in all respects.

"Doesn't this mean that she will soon continue to launch a war of foreign expansion?" Young Master Luo Yuan said with an ugly face.

"It's entirely possible. The butler said helplessly.

He also didn't expect that a young woman who was backward in the star field would have such courage and skill, and would be able to calm the situation in the country so quickly, quickly integrate all forces, and prepare for a new round of large-scale external expansion.

At present, many small forces around the Zilan Empire are panicked all day long, and they have joined forces to protect themselves, and some spineless guys simply sent envoys to the imperial capital for Hajj, expressing their willingness to give up their independence and unconditionally merge into the imperial territory.

Now that this nascent empire has in fact become the most powerful force in the galaxy, if Zhao Xinglan sends troops again in the next few months, not only will the remaining star fields of the northern galaxy not be able to be saved, but even other regions of the galaxy will also suffer military disasters, what will happen to their own layout plan at that time?

"We can't let her continue to expand like this. Young Master Luo Yuan muttered.

"But...... We simply don't have enough power at hand, and even if the family's support fleet arrives in a few months, it will be difficult to form an effective counterbalance to her. The butler said helplessly.

Young Master Luo Yuan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I was thinking, maybe we can directly visit the young empress once, find out her details, and by the way, see how much support the Blue Dome Empire has for her." ”

If the Zilan Empire's siege of the galaxy was just her own initiative, she would have enough means to deal with her. Of course, if this is the will of the future emperor of the Blue Dome Empire, things will not be easy. Perhaps it would be wisest for him to withdraw from this mission immediately, if he can't get the full support of the empire behind him, he will definitely not be able to play the other party.

……

Deep in the Toyohara Star Field.

"Huh!"

Sen Leng's sword swept by, dismembering more than a dozen humanoid creatures in front of him, and in the weird "squeak" scream, wisps of blood-red mist rose from their remnants, and then those remnants quickly decayed and weathered, turning into pools of black powdery substance in a few minutes.

These brown-red humanoids have huge heads, but their limbs and torsos are extremely small, and they are only about a meter tall, and they hold various cold weapons in their hands, and they hide in the fog in groups to launch a sudden charge, and without the early warning of the reconnaissance split, their whereabouts cannot be detected in advance.

"The strength is roughly at the third to fifth order, and there are a lot of them, so it's just right to sharpen your actual combat skills......

Zhao Xinglan, who was wrapped in heavy light armor, looked around, the vast gray mist filled the entire field of vision, and the free energy in the space was extremely manic and disordered, without the help of the special instruments and equipment produced by the mother emperor, he didn't want to see the distant environment clearly.

Thousands of blade commanders spread around her, cautiously marching towards the depths of the mist, and when they encounter too powerful guys, they will rush to clean them up, and the trash fish that are not strong enough will be released to let the beautiful Empress practice their hands.

This is the interior of the primeval ruins, to be precise, deep in the crust of an ancient great planet. Almost the entire interior of the star has been hollowed out and transformed into a city-state of great scale, and it is estimated that in its glory days, tens of billions of people lived in it, of course, it has long since returned to dust and dust, and only tattered ruins remain.

Due to the strange and sinister environment, the mother queen's reconnaissance detachment suffered a lot of losses in the early exploration, and finally figured out some of the internal conditions of the ruins at a great cost. Then the Mother Emperor designed and manufactured a batch of split bodies, which could better adapt to the environment inside the ruins, thus ensuring that they could be explored in depth.

By the time Zhao Xinglan personally arrived, the periphery of the ruins and some of the middle areas had already been clearly explored, and the conclusion that even the mother emperor herself was a little surprised: this should be a base left over from an ancient biochemical civilization, and it belonged to a very important kind.

Despite the passage of time, the defense mechanism in the ruins is still quite powerful, the strange mist has a strong toxic and corrosive effect on normal lifeforms, and the complex and chaotic electromagnetic environment can only barely maintain normal operation of communication equipment produced by interstellar civilizations above level 5. The free source energy in the space is simply not absorbable, which greatly increases the restrictions of the Adeptus here.

As for those big-headed villains who couldn't be considered normal creatures at all, they were emerging from the depths of the ruins, and the most powerful of them were not at the level of ninth-order abilities. However, their weapons are accompanied by a mysterious unknown energy, which can actually have a significant destructive effect on the outer armor of the Blade Commander, and more than 3,000 Blade Commanders have been lost along the way.

Of course, such a huge price is still worth it, after passing through an extraordinarily magnificent metal giant gate, Zhao Xinglan finally saw the core area of the ruins, and also saw the origin of these big heads and villains.

In the depths of the fog, you can faintly see a large brown egg-like object suspended in mid-air, with a diameter of more than ten meters.

On the other side of the area, there are stubby silver-white strange trees, several people in diameter, but less than five meters high, emitting a hazy orange and yellow brilliance, and occasionally there will be a sound coming from inside.

The entire body of the giant egg in mid-air emitted an unknown halo, vibrating rhythmically, and every certain amount of time, a mass of blood-red flesh would detach from it and fall to the ground, and then quickly transform into a big-headed villain.

After these guys got up, they would run to the strange tree on the other side, take out spears, battle knives, bows and arrows and other weapons from the trunk, and then besiege the blade commander beside Zhao Xinglan in groups.

"Master, the data collection and analysis of the new batch of samples is over. The mother's voice sounded in my head, with a deep joy.

"Did you get any useful information?" asked Zhao Xinglan.

"This should be an out-of-control ancient high-level mother emperor, a defective product with incomplete evolution, and the core thinking center has long been dead, so it can't exert its due power now, otherwise we won't have a chance to break into this place at all, and we will be defeated by its split army on the periphery and escape...... "The mother emperor said.

According to its analysis, this ancient mother emperor should have evolved to a stage close to its peak during her lifetime, but it failed to reach perfection for some reason, and the core of her mind had long since died, and only some of her body and biochemical organs still maintained some vitality, so she was able to continue to hatch and create some low-level combat splits with her instincts.

Of course, even if it is a low-level combat split, it is not something that ordinary third-level and fourth-level interstellar civilizations are capable of fighting against, and in the past few years, the Tatilan Federation has suffered heavy losses here but has not gained anything decent. Only Zhao Xinglan's Mother Emperor Legion can overcome the harsh environment here and successfully discover the truth of the matter.

"I'm going to build a large stargate right now that can hold my main body shuttling through. ”

The Mother Emperor said excitedly: "As long as I devour and fuse the remnants of this ancient high-level Mother Emperor, I can quickly advance to the rank continuously, and I have the ability to mass-produce the Blade Lord, and you can also get great benefits, master!"

The Blade Lord is a high-level biochemical weapon that can only be produced by the mother emperor of the twelfth order, and its strength is equivalent to that of a ninth-order ability, and the enhanced version of the blade lord can have the strength of a tenth-order Saint Star Realm powerhouse, and his wisdom level is no different from that of a normal human. If Zhao Xinglan's command can have a legion composed of blade lords, there will be no pressure to sweep the galaxy.

"Very well, then do as you say. Zhao Xinglan immediately agreed.
