Sure enough, as Qin Yan expected!

When the 'Shadow' once again targeted the Hidden Yuan Empire, no organization continued to intervene, allowing the high-level leaders of the Hidden Yuan Empire to persuade in person, and promised all kinds of favorable conditions, and those top organizations would not do anything if they were killed. Even, there were several organizations whose strength was comparable to God Slaying and Blood Killing, and after seeing the 'Shadow' and the Rainbow losing eighty percent of their combat power, and after completely recovering and killing seventy percent of the strength of the Qingyang Hunter Regiment again in less than a month, they were so frightened that they hid, because only in this way would they not become the next target of the 'Shadow'.

In fact, the reason why those organizations didn't make a move was not only because the 'shadow' was really too weird, but also because it was too vicious.

The key is that on the side of the Hidden Yuan Empire, there is no way to give enough honorarium.

Don't look at the people who went to lobby in the Hidden Yuan Empire, one by one, they talked wildly and promised all kinds of benefits, but are those top organizations SB?

While the major organizations ambushed the 'Shadow' again and again, they successively demanded the honorarium from the Hidden Yuan Empire, the amount of which was huge enough to empty their treasury.

In this case, the Hidden Yuan Empire had no bargaining chips to use for rewards, and their various promises could not be fulfilled at all.

Not only is it possible to be targeted by the 'shadow' if it is not profitable, and this kind of thing will only be done by fools, so the top forces have collectively shrunk.

Yes!

Blocking the 'Shadow' by these top forces is the most powerful and final move of the Hidden Yuan Empire!

When the move is cracked, all they can do is ......

Obviously, even if the current strength of the 'Shadow' is stronger, it is definitely impossible to confront the Hidden Yuan Empire head-on, but does the 'Shadow' need to contend head-on?

The Hidden Yuan Empire has a trillion troops and is powerful, but there are too many places that may become the target of the 'Shadow' attack.

Even if they were twice as strong, they would not be able to hold all the places that could be targeted.

You must know that before twenty or thirty top-level forces were collectively dispatched to intercept the 'shadow' attack, a small part of the hundreds of detachments, with the strength of the Hidden Yuan Empire alone, the chance of interception was pitiful, and at this moment they had fallen into complete despair.

10 days......

Half-moon......

January......

'Shadow' has been attacking all valuable places in the Hidden Yuan Empire day and night, and the direct result is that all chambers of commerce have completely withdrawn from the borders of the Hidden Yuan Empire, even the citizens of the Hidden Yuan Empire, unless they are a small number of people with high enough loyalty, and the rest have immigrated to other countries as long as the economic conditions allow.

This is a great opportunity to strengthen the foundation of the empire, when the immigration frenzy of the Hidden Yuan Empire begins, how can the other major empires let go of the opportunity to pick up the leaks?

It is open to all immigrants, and as long as there is no problem after basic screening, a new nationality can be entered immediately.

The Chamber of Commerce withdrew.

Wealthy citizens left.

What is left of this country?

It's just a bunch of low-class civilians who are of no help to the Empire, and planets and cities that are gradually dying away.

Of course, the army composed of the Yinyuan people is still very loyal to the empire, and they will not abandon the protection of this declining country. It's a pity that when all resources are completely cut off, it will be impossible for the army's strength to increase, and there will be one less soldier dead, and every time Gray Crystal is used, it will be a little less. In this case, even if the Hidden Yuan Empire is thousands of times stronger, it will eventually be consumed alive.

Honoré seemed to have aged many years.

Since more than a year ago, the emperor and others who entered the axis of the universe failed to come back, which means that those people have died, in view of the fact that the country cannot be without a king for a day, most of the high-level officials of the empire elected him to the position of emperor, but he refused without hesitation, in his original words: It no longer matters whether the Hidden Yuan Empire has a monarch or not, our country has offended a terrible enemy, and may become the first super empire to fall in billions of years.

What to do?

The empire has come to this point, and there is no way out.

Even if the combat power of the 'Shadow' is still far inferior to theirs, the other party will never confront them head-on, and even if the current situation continues, the empire will not escape the fate of destruction.

Drip! Drip! Drip!

Hearing the call signal from the communication equipment, Honoré casually turned on the communication, and the voice that he was tired of hearing came: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the three major financial star systems of Caijin, Tianyan, and Ruidu have been attacked, and all businesses ...... Even the stars were all destroyed by the enemy......"

Syllable!

Honoré did not give any reply, and simply turned off the communication, so it was clear to him that there was nothing he could do in the face of the attack of the 'Shadow'.

"What do you think we should do?" His gaze swept over the upper echelons of the empire present.

"This ......"

"I ......"

"I have an idea."

Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, Honoré said, "Change careers." Taking advantage of the strength of my Hidden Yuan Empire, there was almost no loss, this is the only way out, either to change to be a pirate, or to change to a hunter, and only in this way will it not be blocked because all the resource benefits are blocked, and finally completely decline. ”

As a nation, they have things that they have to hold onto, such as territory, such as subjects, such as subject countries, and these are all used as bargaining chips by the 'shadow'.

If the Hidden Yuan no longer governs the country, but becomes a group of pirates or hunters with no fixed residence, no longer a large territory, no longer a vassal state, no longer hundreds of millions of people, and no longer depends on these resource gains, and is vulnerable to all aspects of the 'Shadow', then the 'Shadow' will have no way to do anything to them.

Diverted?

Hearing Honoré's proposal, everyone was stunned.

"We are one of the nine great empires, the Hidden Yuan Empire, we have existed for billions of years, and we are one of the nine strongest countries in this universe, how can we fall to that point?"

"Yes! Lord Marshal, doesn't this mean admitting defeat? It is equivalent to completely abandoning the foundation established by our ancestors over countless years and at the cost of countless sacrifices? ”

"So what better can you do?"

Honoré took a deep breath and said, "Continue to maintain the status quo? That's right! The 'Shadow' doesn't dare to confront us head-on, but if we lose the benefits of resources, how can we keep the empire running? Even if our armies do not suffer any battle losses, they will gradually die out as the years go by. ”

"This ......"

"If you have a better proposal...... I don't want that either. ”

Honoré's face was extremely peaceful, he was not driven to a dead end, how could he come up with this idea, not because he was cornered?

Hearing him say this, no one objected anymore, because they knew very well that the Hidden Yuan Empire had lost the ability to support it.

"If you change careers, those ordinary people and soldiers who are not strong ......," one of the commanders-in-chief asked.

"I can only ...... Give up ......," Honoré's voice was painful.

All gone!

The huge foundation that our ancestors have spent billions of years and sacrificed hundreds of millions of people to build will have to be abandoned!

Honoré took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But we at least have a strong force, from the current state of the enemy in the dark, to the two sides in the dark, this is more beneficial to us, and only in this way can we have a chance, no longer become the target of the enemy, and secretly find out where the 'shadow' is." Perhaps, in this way, there will be a chance to truly destroy the enemy completely, and then it may not be impossible to start all over again! ”

This sentence has played a great encouraging role in the ears of everyone, and with the current situation, turning light into darkness is the only way to live.

Of course, this will make them give up many, many miles.

In addition to the most elite soldiers in the army, the vast majority of the remaining low-level soldiers, hundreds of millions of people, and a land spanning hundreds of millions of light-years will have to be completely abandoned.

All the high-level officials without exception bowed their heads, and everyone's expressions were extremely gloomy, and there was even a faint sense of humiliation and unwillingness.

Pirate?

Hunter?

In fact, for the top existence of the Nine Great Empires, even if they were as strong as the hunter organizations such as the Rainbow, they were still one level lower in their eyes, and pirates were even more influential.

But now they want to become, the kind of people they once regarded as inferior.

Is there anything more tragic than not wanting to do it but having to do it?

Merely......

In this conflict between forces and forces, there is never right or wrong, let alone mercy, only losers and winners.

Obviously, 'Shadow' is the victor.

Despite the reluctance of all, when Honoré summoned all the Imperial Councillors to a parliament, no one objected, except for about thirty percent of the members who voted in favor, and all the rest abstained - they could not do it, and they knew that they had to do so, abstaining was the only option.

The Imperial Council's highest orders have been issued layer by layer, but they have only reached the one-star general, and the next step is to make a helpless choice.

Neither the pirate group nor the hunter group has a territory as vast as the Nine Great Empires, there are no massive resources to use, whether it is for the sake of frequent migration, or to maintain elite combat power as much as possible, it is impossible to drag the family with them, and it is impossible to keep those with low strength.

As a result, the Empire's trillion-dollar army will be screened, and all soldiers and officers who have not reached the Eight Heavens will be abandoned without their knowledge, and the remaining elites will follow the Empire's high-ranking people to leave the Hidden Yuan Empire and become pirates or hunters who roam around and live in no fixed place.

Of course, Qin Yan had expected this result, but he had no way of predicting when the other party would make this decision.

It wasn't until one day through Jinghong's intelligence network that he learned that the people of the Hidden Yuan Empire had gone to the empty building, and all the high-level officials of the military and political sides had lost their shadows, and the internal affairs of the imperial military and political affairs had become a mess, leaving only a large number of ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, and then he knew that the high-level of the Hidden Yuan Empire had run away.

What's next?

Qin Yan issued an order to surrender to the Yinyuan Empire, those soldiers who were not directly subordinate to Shangfeng and were in a mess, otherwise they would be completely wiped out.

It wasn't just 'Shadow' who knew the news, the other eight empires also got the news and began to prepare for the division of the Hidden Yuan Empire's territory......
