Chapter 68: The Struggle Within the Empire
With Yi He's leadership, the counterattack on the empire seemed to be exceptionally smooth, and it could almost be called overwhelming.
Coupled with the lead of Yi He and Long Mu, everyone is even more imposing.
He was even more ruthless against the soldiers of the Empire.
The retreating Imperial Army, faced with the wolf-like Union Army, was beaten to the point that it had no temper at all.
The second prince, who had previously mocked the eldest prince for losing the war, was extraordinarily proud when he took over the responsibility of commanding this war.
In just a few days, it was almost on the verge of collapse.
Finally, the truce was stationed there, and the second prince had a chance to breathe.
He never imagined that the power of the two SSS-class mechs would be so terrifying, especially the legendary Slash, no mecha or battleship could block the power of his blow.
Not to mention any one-in-one enemies, most of the Imperial soldiers, even a pseudo-SSS-class mecha, did not catch the attack of Slash Ji, and were slashed down with one blow.
The angry and annoyed second prince, commanding remotely in the imperial capital, was full of anger and didn't know who to sprinkle on it, barely suppressed his anger, he first let the already exhausted imperial army have a good rest, and be careful not to be sneak attacked.
But after hanging up the communication with the commander of the imperial army, he was furious.
The completely uncontrolled explosion of mental power made the things in the room all over the place, but he didn't feel angry at all, but became even more angry.
After thinking about it, he decided to go to his eldest brother's trouble and release the pressure.
"Bang!" Roughly pushing open the gate of the eldest prince's palace, the second prince's eyes fell on the eldest prince who was chatting with others for the first time.
didn't care who the person he was chatting with was, so he spoke directly: "Our two brothers have something to talk about, get out!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he noticed the expression of the eldest prince's indescribable expression.
Before he could react, a familiar voice suddenly came to mind: "Who did you tell to get out?" ”
With a slightly angry, but extraordinarily majestic voice, he suddenly reacted to who this person was, turned his head to look at it, and knelt down on the spot: "Father...... Father! ”
"Don't dare to be, I think I'd better get out, don't get in the way of you talking about things!" The emperor looked at his second son and was angry.
There was a small news before, telling him that his second son often bullied his eldest son.
He still didn't believe it, and firmly believed that someone was stirring up the feelings of the two brothers, and by the way, he wanted to let himself deal with his second son.
Therefore, without saying a word, he directly disposed of the person who sent out the news, and even suspected that his eldest son did it on purpose.
Because he was not satisfied with his own mother's death, he set up a new queen, so he also targeted the son of the new queen, which now seems to be ......
Apparently he was wrong!
"Father, the son is wrong, the son didn't mean it, it's just that the war has been tight recently, I am a little powerless, and my mood is sometimes good and bad, and I can't control my emotions at all, so I ......"
understood that the emperor was really angry at this time, and the second prince couldn't care about anything, so he knelt down and knelt in front of the emperor, crying with a handful of snot and tears.
The age is not young anymore, and the somewhat soft-hearted emperor is a little unbearable when he looks at his second son like this.
"Father, leading troops to fight is indeed exhausting, and the sons and daughters also came over like this, and they have a deep understanding of this, and they are quite understanding, so I also ask my father to forgive the second emperor's brother's faux pas!" At this time, the eldest prince, who had always been gentle, also opened his mouth to persuade and handed over the steps.
Descending the steps, the emperor scolded angrily: "Next time, you don't have to call my father emperor anymore!" ”
"No, no, there will never be a next time!" Hearing this, knowing that he had escaped a catastrophe, the second prince reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his head, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly promised.
It's just that the emperor didn't see it, when he promised, under the cover of his lowered head, the resentment in the depths of his eyes almost overflowed.
"That's good!" Stretching out his hand to help the second prince up, the emperor's tone has become gentle: "By the way, what are you looking for your imperial brother?" ”
When asked this question, the second prince's heart trembled.
Why does he have anything to find the royal brother? It's just that he wants to relieve his pressure by showing off his might in front of the eldest brother.
Now that he is being asked by the emperor, he can't put the real reason on the surface.
"Erchen wants to ask the eldest brother about the SSS mecha! As you know, this counterattack of the alliance directly sent two SSS-level physical fitness people to drive SSS-level mechs to the battlefield! The pressure on the soldiers at the front is just too great! ”
With a roll of his eyes, the second prince thought of what to say.
"I thought that the eldest brother had seen the true power of the SSS-level mecha, so I hurriedly came over to ask!"
Hearing the second prince say this, the emperor's anger just now instantly dissipated, and the whole person seemed a lot happier: "It's really good that you can think like this!" ”
"But your eldest brother is the same as you, he is in command in the rear, and he didn't go directly to the front line at all, so in fact, you are looking for your eldest brother and you are really looking for the wrong one!" It's just that the emperor pointed out a truth and couldn't help but shake his head.
"So that's the case, so what should I do?" With a frown, the second prince looked quite worried.
"However, Bendi has a way, you can give it a try!" The emperor looked at his second son, who was trying his best to share his worries, and comforted him.
After thinking about it, I was ready to give this well-behaved second son an idea.
"Father's orders!" worked hard to pretend to be a well-behaved second prince, of course, he did not miss this opportunity to show his loyalty.
"Okay, you deserve to be a good emperor of this emperor!" Hearing this, the emperor was obviously very happy.
even stood up and patted the second prince directly on the shoulder, revealing a particularly relieved expression.
Seeing the emperor like this, the second prince knew that he had successfully figured out the mind of this old thing.
Although he is quite disdainful in his heart, he still looks so sincere and fearful on the surface, but he is extremely well-behaved and sensible.
Standing with his head bowed, he honestly stood in place and waited for his father's orders.
"If you want to understand something, you have to get up close and personal with it......"
Listening to the emperor's mouth, the second prince suddenly had an ominous premonition.
This premonition continued to expand with the emperor's words, making the second prince suddenly feel panicked.
opened his mouth uncontrollably, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to interrupt the emperor's words.
"So, if you want to understand the real combat effectiveness of the SSS mecha, as well as the situation in all aspects, in the case that we don't have it, the best way is naturally to go to the battlefield in person!"
"Father, son, minister......" The second prince never thought that his voice could tremble like this.
Even if he couldn't see his own expression, he could feel the fear that came from his heart.
Go to war? Are you kidding!
He's a prince! His Royal Highness! You want to go to the battlefield in person? Is that kind of place like the battlefield a place where a noble being like him should be? No kidding!
What's more, his family knows his own affairs, although he has been training hard, but his talent is extremely poor, and his current physical fitness level is only worthy of level 8, and even the mecha he pilots can only be ordinary mecha without rank.
Maybe because he is the prince, the materials used by the mecha are better and more powerful, but that can't change the fact that the mecha has no level.
When a person like him goes to the battlefield, what choice can he have but to die?
As soon as he thought of this, the second prince felt a whirlwind of the world.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to protect you!" Noticing the fear in the eyes of the second prince, how could the old and refined emperor not know what fear he was because of?
However, compared to this, he prefers to believe that his sons are not bad breeds and will not refuse to grow up on the battlefield.
For a long time, the second prince, who grew up under the emperor's authority, finally did not have the backbone and courage to refuse the emperor's proposal, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Erchen understands!" ”
"Since that's the case, then you go down and prepare first, this matter should be sooner rather than later, after you are ready, you will set off directly tomorrow, there is no need to resign to this emperor, the people sent to protect you will be in place tonight!" The emperor looked at his second son, his previous anger had completely dissipated, and now he was more and more satisfied.
The eldest prince standing on the side, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything.
"Then the minister will retire first!"
After bowing to the emperor, the second prince bowed to the eldest prince for the first time and retired.
Out of the palace gate, but felt even more unhappy, after thinking about it, he turned around and walked towards the emperor's palace.
This time I came to the palace of the eldest prince, and I really couldn't steal chickens and rice, and now I can only find the queen mother first to see if I can save the country.
Because the emperor could not suspect that he didn't want to go, so he interceded with the queen mother, and the second prince did not appear in the emperor's palace with a swagger as before, but avoided the guards of the palace and touched in.
After telling the truth of the matter, and after getting the emperor's promise of persuasion, he secretly left.
When he returned to his palace, he collapsed on the ground.
Today can be regarded as a thrilling day for him.
Just looked at the sky, but he didn't dare to make any more unnecessary movements, and it was almost time for his father to send someone over here.
Those people say they are protecting themselves, but why not a kind of surveillance?
Grinding his teeth, the second prince clicked on the communication of the front-line commander, learned a little about the current situation, explained a few words, and went directly to rest.
Throughout, he did not mention that he was about to go to the front.
In his opinion, with the queen mother out of the horse, the matter of him going to the front line is inconclusive......
