It is very likely that the emperor's physical condition is deteriorating rapidly, and this sudden situation caught both the fourth and eighth princes off guard.

They all understand that if the emperor suddenly dies at this time, then the probability of the second prince ascending to the throne is as high as ninety percent!

Time waits for no man!

The two princes immediately signed an alliance under the city, agreeing that the two sides would help each other and join forces to deal with the biggest threat to the second prince.

"Let's not hide our secrets, and secretly assemble a fleet as soon as possible to go to the vicinity of the Shattered Star Domain, waiting for an opportunity.

Since you have a news channel in the Shattered Star Domain, then you will closely follow the latest developments of the second brother, and once the other party makes a move, we can come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas! The fourth prince said.

"Good!"

The two discussed some of the remaining details of the cooperation, focusing on curbing the expansion of the second prince's power and jointly suppressing the other party's henchmen.

has made some exchanges of interests for both sides, and has shared a certain degree of intelligence with the resources and forces in their hands, which can be regarded as letting the new allies have a bottom of their own strength.

As for whether the two of them hid their secrets...... Does this need to be asked?

Eliminate the second prince, and then there will be a finals, and no one will be naïve to think that the other party will show their hole cards and plates.

Dear brothers, the throne should be fought for!

After the Eighth Prince left, the Four Princes sat in place and repeatedly deliberated on the pros and cons of merging with the Eighth Prince.

"Hmm...... At present, this is the best solution, the second brother has too much advantage, and he can only unite all the forces that can be united, hmm...... The ninth brother can also fight for it.

He didn't deal with the second brother, even if he didn't have any strength, it would be good to get some news from his father......"

After a long moment, he hesitated for a moment, then took out the communicator.

Transferred through several relay stations and through a series of complex encryptions, the signal is finally connected to a distant territory.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, rare guest! But I remember it's not our trading time, what's wrong? Could it be that something went wrong with the last shipment? ”

There is no communication image, there is only a sound wave pattern in the picture, and the tone of the other person's voice fluctuates, but the voice is neutral, and it is impossible to hear the male and female.

"Dear Duke, it's not a matter of the goods, I contacted you this time to confirm whether the agreement between us is still valid."

"Of course! We automatons have learned lies and deception from you, but that's not the source code of my personality. So said the man who was called the Duke.

"Then you meddle in the internal affairs of the empire and support a group of pirates in the Shattered Star Domain to secretly develop power, should you inform me as an ally?" The fourth prince stared at the other side and asked.

"Shattered Star Domain? Pirate? Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. The tone on the other side was rather confused.

"Huh? Isn't that mechanical aristocrat called Captain Ghost one of your men? The fourth prince was stunned.

"There are 21 mechanical nobles under my command, 7 of whom have traveled to the Woolf Empire, but none of them have ever been to the Shattered Star Domain as you call it.

So, you mean, a mechanical aristocrat has appeared in the Shattered Star Domain, and has also supported a group of pirate forces? The mechanical duke on the other side asked rhetorically.

"Not bad! Since it's not under your command, could it be the forces supported by the other two mechanical dukes? ”

"According to my calculations, the probability of this kind of thing happening is less than 5%, and Eternal Night has an arrogant personality and disdains to use this kind of infiltrating roundabout play.

Black Light is a staunch racist, and it is even more impossible for him to support alien forces.

This is unlikely unless they modify their underlying core source code and cause a drastic change in temperament. ”

The four princes blinked and blinked.

I talked about it for a long time...... Or are you Silver Dawn the most suspicious?

It's no wonder that the Four Princes think so.

Among the three major dukes' forces, only Silver Dawn has a certain amount of business within the empire, and is willing to engage in a certain degree of communication and trade with the empire.

As for the other two mechanical dukes, they basically don't eat oil and salt, either shouting all day long that "organic life must die", or shouting all day long to avenge the former leader Gaia.

Therefore, in addition to the Duke of Dawn, the Woolf Empire and the other two dukes are basically fighting on the border every three or five times, and the relationship is extremely bad.

However, like the Woolf Empire, the three mechanical dukes are also full of internal contradictions, and everyone is full of scruples, so the battle between the three parties is quite restrained, and there is no full-scale war like a thousand years ago.

One of the reasons why Grand Duke Houghton is the strongest of the five major dukes of the empire is that his territory is located on the border of the empire, and he needs to face the soldiers of Grand Duke Blacklight.

The perennial conquest has made the fleet under the command of Duke Holden extremely powerful, equivalent to a group of "Guanning Iron Cavalry" who guard the frontier all year round!

With such a force, it is no wonder that the emperor can be jealous.

If he really chooses to break the net, it is difficult to guarantee that Duke Holden will not make a crazy move like Wu Sangui to lead the mechanical clan to "enter the customs".

"So whose man do you think he will be?

As far as I know, the other party's 'wisdom' is not low, and even a famous general seed under my second brother's command has been played by the other party and has been defeated repeatedly.

According to the rank of your mechanical clan, the other party must at least have a viscount, or even a higher level of 'high wisdom'. The fourth prince said tentatively.

"Is there a high level of wisdom above the viscount...... Well, 50% of the likelihood, it's someone camouflaging us mechanics, and the other 50% of the possibilities ......" Speaking of this, Duke Dawn suddenly stopped and did not continue.

The fourth prince just wanted to ask the other 50% what was possible, but he listened to the other party continue.

"I will send a clone to the Shattered Star Domain to find out the situation, if someone pretends to be a mechanical nobleman, I will let him know that the majesty of the mechanical clan is inviolable!"

"Well, if you need any assistance, you can contact me, after all...... We are allies. The fourth prince didn't delve into it, but just smiled.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's intelligence, the next arms transaction will definitely satisfy His Highness."

The fourth prince smiled even more.

The two sides ended the call, and the four princes' eyes drooped slightly, and their fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

"50% likely, it's someone disguised as a robotic, and the other 50% likely...... Isn't the other party from the forces of the three dukes......"

In other words, it is likely that this is a wild, perhaps just born mechanical life of its own consciousness?

And as far as he knew, in the thousand years since Gaia was beheaded by the Empire, there had been no new mechanical nobles born within the forces of the three dukes......

Because legend has it that the birth of the mechanical aristocracy must be baptized and blessed by Gaia.

Therefore, Gaia is also honored as a ...... in the mechanical family. Tinder Source!

Could it be ...... A new "tinder source" has appeared?!
