Beginning with the first rumor that Jim Reynolds was infected, this suspicion of the Imperial government and the supreme power of humanity was geometrically divided. In the continuous spread, it has even become more powerful.

The populace, who were completely unrestricted, began to wonder if Valerian had been infected as well - why else would a human in his right mind let Queen of Blades be taken away by Jim Reynaud without being completely killed. In addition to Valerian being placed under suspicion, more senior government officials have been placed under suspicion.

As the Imperial government began to forcefully enforce Valenrian's policies, these suspicions were magnified indefinitely.

Why revoke the status of the capital of Keha?

Why uproot the military industry of the empire and move it to the depths of the starry sky?

Why did the empire suffer repeated defeats in foreign wars?

The people, completely blind to the inevitability of every decision made by Valerian, began to question the government, and even every small detail of Valenrian's policy was filled with lies of betrayal of the Empire.

Despite growing anger and distrust of the Empire, the brutality of the Empire during the Akturus regime was so deeply rooted that most of the people did what the Empire told them to do.

Jim Reynold's pupils reflected everything playing on the electronic screen in front of him, and the cigar in his mouth was almost burning to his mouth.

"Damn." Jim Renaud, who was so focused, was so burned that the cowboy spat out his cigarette butt to the ground, then covered it with his feet and crushed the glowing and smoke-smelling thing.

"If it weren't for me or Jim Reynolds, I'd be about to believe it."

After Renault complained a little, he turned off the video. As the electronic screen dimmed, the whole room dimmed.

The screen reflects Jim Reynolds' bloodshot eyes, blinking from time to time in thought.

"Damn, someone is trying to break us up."

Jim thought to himself for a long time, he finally saw this, but he couldn't imagine who had planned it all - to accurately seize Haven to attack Jim Renaud, and at the same time mark the target of suspicion on the Empire.

Not just Haven, of course, but also Kerrigan.

"Damn it!" Jim Renaud had said this so many times today that he was now bored with himself.

How can we strengthen people's hearts and minds and prevent the enemy from disintegrating themselves internally?

As an old rival of Actuls, Jim certainly knows how to fortify people's hearts. Censorship, or constant self-proofing, and one big win after another—however, are unrealistic, and do not fit Jim Renault's current thinking and needs.

Eighteenth hour after the soul of the Ranger locked himself up, Jim Reno's communicator finally sounded, and he glanced briefly at the screen to identify who was bothering him.

"Matt? Long time no see. I heard that you and Mira got back together. ”

Jim Renault teased.

"Sir, that's a regular cooperation ......" Jim played his cards out of common sense and succeeded in making Matt deflated again the moment they met. This made Jim Renault let out a rare laugh.

The laughter stopped, and all that was left for Jim was seriousness.

"Something's wrong, Matt. Normally, you don't come and bother me. ”

"Yes, sir, His Majesty Valerian is desperate to speak to you."

"Oh, well, Your Majesty."

——————————————————

An organization called the Human Protector suddenly arose in the edge of the Empire's fleet, and they used the protection of the fleet to win the hearts of the people in the edge world, and claimed that the top of the Tyranid Empire's government was completely infected by the insects, and the empire would eventually sell all humans to the insects.

Of course, the challenge of the Human Protectors to the Empire is nothing compared to the Golden Fleet.

Under the huge national power of the Empire, the important military production lines of the Empire are rushing towards the depths of the starry sky, but these Star Spirit ships corrupted by Sarnagar seem to have insight into the Empire's thoughts, and a large number of reconnaissance teams are sabotaging various military industrial planets of the Empire, trying to delay the Empire's move to transfer production lines.

In addition to a large number of sabotage infiltration squads, powerful astral warships have massively attacked human-inhabited planets.

The Imperial government is of course trying to rescue some of the people on the surface, but protecting the people on the transport ships is clearly more in line with the capabilities of the already stretched Imperial fleet. And in the battle to protect the transport ships, the empire also continued to lose.

The difference in strength between the races was too great, and the number and quality of warships were very different at the same time, and there was no breakthrough point for victory in this battle.

"Jim. There is now an uncontrollable undercurrent within the Empire, and they will collapse the Empire at any moment—a series of failures, slanders against you and me, will shatter the last of humanity's power. Valerian seemed to have turned white overnight, and in the midst of countless days and nights of agony, he had transformed into a different person on the outside.

Jim seemed to see another Acturs.

Of course, it was just the appearance of Actuls, and Jim was pleased to see that the young lad was still keeping his original intention despite the constant blows.

"Avoid the destruction of the Empire's vital warship lines in the attack of the Star Spirits, and save the living forces to emerge victorious in future battles - I know what you want, so the Rangers will be sure to cooperate with you fully."

In an instant, the Rangers and the Empire have struck an unknown bargain, and the Rangers' elite warriors have traveled to all corners of the Sector to fight the Stars in a difficult battle.

Whether it's rescuing civilian lives or removing threatened warship lines, Renault's rangers have won skirmishes – but only in skirmishes. Realizing that the Rangers had joined the battle, Zhao Yi gave up micro-regulation of local skirmishes.

Battleship clusters surrounded, divided, annihilated.

At the strategic level, Zhao Yi won victory after battle. Of course, the biggest result was the rumor fight carried out by the Mobius Legion.

The slander made out of nothing directly caused the empire to begin to disintegrate, and some of the imperial troops silently broke away from the control of the empire and became the overlord of the territory. And the last prestige of these local overlords in destroying the empire is extremely great, and with the news of the endangerment of the imperial forces on one side, it is even more confirmed that Valerian is a brutal man.

The army began to get out of control, and the people began to flee to the depths of the starry sky in spite of the army's control.

Chaos was taking place at the grassroots level of the empire, and a series of events told Zhao Yi that the situation was tilting towards the hybrid side that Zhao Yi represented.
