Chapter 1529: Sunny and Rainy
In Tang Fang's opinion, compared to the Jim Renault co-op campaign just played, the combat effectiveness of Zagara's co-op mode campaign is much smaller. Although some of the former's upgrades will be targeted by Sister Logic to distinguish the difference between the combat effectiveness of elite units and ordinary units, it can comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of Terran grassroots units. The latter's combat effectiveness bonus to grassroots units is mainly reflected in the explosion of insects, mosquitoes, and distortions, and the comprehensive value is obviously inferior to that of Jim Renault.
Of course, in any case, the co-op mode of these two hero units is beneficial for the interstellar system, and it is of great help to him.
Jim Reynolds, Zagalla, Alexei Stukov, Dhaka, Rory Swan, Nova ...... Co-op mode has now been unlocked to six players.
When the game returned to the main screen, he remembered a problem, since Jim Renault, as the protagonist of Wings of Freedom, has a corresponding co-op mode campaign. What about Kerrigan, the protagonist of the Heart of the Swarm, and Atanis, the protagonist of the Void Relic? They deserve a co-op campaign.
Atanis, the protagonist of Void Relic, has not yet been unlocked, and it is understandable that the co-op campaign cannot be expanded, but ...... Kai Ruigan had obviously been summoned and returned to him like Bai Yue, why didn't he have it?
"Perhaps...... The Queen of Blades in co-op mode is not the Queen of Blades who destroyed humanity in the StarCraft generation, but the original Queen of Blades in StarCraft II, and only this explanation can make sense. ”
In a moment of thought, his body began to lighten, and he slowly rose like goose feathers swept up by the wind, leaving this dark space, entering the tunnel full of light, all the way up to the exit of the white hole, and returning from the same way.
As the light and shadow flashed in front of him, the familiar system interface came into his eyes, and he was able to control his body freely again.
Quickly move your consciousness back to real space, and find that the people on the bridge are doing their jobs. Hausen and Churchill didn't know what they were muttering, and Marion Duncan and Virginia stood at the window, looking at the stars in the distance.
The speed of time in the white hole is different from the speed of time in real space, and he has long experienced this, and he will not be shocked or puzzled by the scene in front of him.
"Commander, a communication link to the Dillard star system has been established." The Communications Officer's debriefing drew his attention to the large screen in front of him, watching as Kylenia's face slowly took shape.
………………
Aside from the top brass of the Monya Empire and the generals in the Royal Navy, almost no one knew that the Monya Empire was attempting to wage a major war against Garcia's rebels.
The people of the international community did not even hear about the turmoil, and naturally they would not know what happened to the Etta-3 space station, and they would not know that Halifax Stewart, the 13th prince of the Monya Empire, had become a prisoner of Captain Don, and Dewey Hansel had died tragically under Virginia's high heels...... Of course, it was Hausen who poked it in.
The people who participated in the landing operation of the Livia Stellar System garrison Navy were gagized, and what the fleet commander feared did not happen...... At least his life is safe for the time being.
Morning Star Casting also did not expose the hidden sins and taboos within the Freedom Heaven System, let alone the news of the 13th Prince.
The outside world's understanding of the recent events in the Monya Empire is still limited to the civil riots that occurred in the cartel star system under the Duke of Flåm. It is said that the righteous man in the crystal armor joined the Garcia rebel army in Krisugad with many poor people determined to resist the tyranny of the Empire.
This news was sent out by the United Kingdom of Tulanx and has not been followed up, and it has become less and less popular for several days, and has been left behind by many people, because there is another big event in the Phoenix Empire.
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a reasonable development.
The Morris Rebellion led by Hakugaku and Izsha, and the rebels led by Gabriel Tosh defeated the Capital Guard and the Phoenix Protectors, who had only recently been reorganized, and captured the Fillmos star system, the capital of the Phoenix Empire.
Surprisingly, they didn't know how they used to capture His Majesty Virginia Alexander alive the Holy Emperor of the Phoenix Empire.
Virginia Alexander, who had always been good at escaping and had been spared many times from capture, became a prisoner of the rebels. This caused an uproar in the Phoenix Empire and made the international community sigh.
In fact, as far as the whole thing is concerned, the process is not important, but the result is important.
It was not only Virginia Alexander who was captured, but about 70% of the nobility and the upper echelons of the bureaucracy were controlled by the populace of the sudden uprising of the Fillmos star system. Logically speaking, as the most well-informed official in the country, the nobleman with the most wealth and power, even if the rebel army fights, he should have enough time to escape...... It's a pity that they didn't leave, and it may not be rigorous to say that they are all in one catch, at least they can use the adjective "harvest".
Suffice it to say, without the death of Marlowe Smith, it would have been impossible for the Phoenix Empire to have a revolt of this magnitude. In the eyes of the international community, it was the young marquis who used his death to awaken the Morris slaves and the people at the bottom who had illusions about power, and caused the wave of rebellion to erupt like a prairie fire.
Without Marlowe Smith, there would have been no inheritance of the revolutionary will, and there would have been no downfall of the Alexandrians.
After the rebels captured the Fillmos star system, many thought that the next step would be to negotiate with the local lords far from the capital. Even Virginia Alexander was captured, and the lords certainly couldn't hold on.
To the surprise of sophisticated political observers, the rebels did not stop there, ignoring the representatives of the local lords who tried to reach out, and directly pointed the sword at the old forces, choosing to solve the political problems of the Phoenix Empire by force.
This is very much in line with Morrisnu's simple-minded and simple-minded characteristic. For many people, it is customary to see this characteristic as a disadvantage...... Or rather, defects. However, in the eyes of some scholars in the Star Alliance, the Federation of Charles, and the Republic of Dolanx, this flaw has turned into an advantage...... At least on this issue it is correct and beneficial.
THROUGHOUT THE RISE AND FALL OF MARLOWE SMITH, THE FAILURE OF THE REFORMS OF THE PHOENIX EMPIRE WAS PRECISELY BECAUSE THE STATE OF AFFAIRS CHANGED FROM A MILITARY PROBLEM TO A POLITICAL ONE. As long as the skeleton of the old ruling class remains, and the blood is still there, the political problems involving class interests will be equivalent to an almost insoluble knot. And the most effective, straightforward, and concise way to solve them...... It is to destroy by force. In the words of Morrisnu, kill! Kill the parasites that lie on them and continue to absorb nutrients, and their family will naturally be respected and recognized.
The fighting power and image displayed by the rebel army caused the local nobles far from the capital area to panic, as if they were about to die. Powerful forces like the Capital Guard and the Phoenix Imperial Protector Army are no match for this group of wild dogs, let alone local garrisons with backward equipment.
Combat units such as the Capital Guard and the Phoenix Protector will mutinide and riot when faced by the rebels. In the stellar system where the oppression of the people at the bottom is even deeper, one can imagine what kind of mental outlook the garrison soldiers will have. I'm afraid that the people below are already gearing up and eager to try.
They are not excited about the coming battle, but they are excited about the coming battle.
Many magistrates and minor nobles ignored the strict orders from their superiors and tried to escape the garrison with their families.
Ironically, the rebels had not yet arrived, and there were still many days to go, and the flight of the local bureaucrats and nobles turned from a splash to an irresistible tide. This is very similar to the situation of the rout of the army.
The small nobles and big officials have fled, what can the big nobles and big officials do? Counting on them to go to the front to command the troops? That's just a fool's dream, a dwarf watching.
In this context, dramatization is inevitable.
To the amazement of the international community, before the flames of war had started, the old men who had been high and powerful fled with their tails between their legs, leaving a clean and chaotic land, waiting for its new owner to plant a flag symbolizing new life.
Those aristocrats and officials were pompous and unstoppable when they were in power. When they confronted the forces of resistance, they all became a seed. For them, courage exists only when they stand on the side of the powerful and bully the weak.
It can be said that after the fall of the Alexanders, the capture of Virginia, and the very tough posture of the rebel army, the revolutionary cause of the Phoenix Empire has been won without a fight.
In many cases, an attitude determines the outcome of an event.
There are also some observers of the current situation with a tricky perspective who can't understand why the agents of the Phoenix Empire ambushed in the Phoenix Empire by authoritarian countries such as the Mengya Empire and the Sulu Empire have not moved, and have not caused some headache mass incidents at the social level.
It is certainly impossible for them to understand the torrents that hide beneath the whirlpool of war. Who is Gabriel Tosh? He was the grandpa of agents and terrorists, who was able to contain officials and nobles before they left, and naturally he could also find out foreign agents who had infiltrated some key areas.
Agents belonging to the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation, and the Republic of Dolanx, turned a blind eye, while agents belonging to the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Sauron Empire became assassination targets for his agents and were uprooted one by one.
First the United Kingdom of Turanks, then the Phoenix Empire. Since the emergence of the Tang side, the situation in the Hillembir region has been completely reversed, and the originally active autocratic forces have been suppressed.
The original ruling class of the Phoenix Empire has been overthrown, what will happen next? You must know that the rebel army was born out of Marlowe Smith's will to reform, and it is basically impossible to maintain the imperial system.
Just like the chaotic Republic of Date has become an example of the three autocranies of the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Sauron Empire attacking and smearing Tang Fang and the Queen of Blades. Many people feel that they will also make a fuss about the restructuring of the Phoenix Empire, further slandering Captain Tang and Morningstar Foundry.
What puzzled some people was that the change of the Phoenix Empire was imminent, and the mouthpieces of the three remaining imperial states of the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Sauron Empire were silent and did not do anything.
Didn't they catch Tang Fang meddling in the situation in the Phoenix Empire? Or are there other considerations?
………………
Just when some people felt incomprehensible about the movements of the Three Kingdoms, in a council chamber in the front hall of Klimt Palace, the most famous Celtic star system of the Monya Empire, the sunlight sowed through the window lattice on the floor of the light, diffusing a bright golden yellow. There were very, very fine specks of dust wandering in the light, like light elves singing on the undulating waters.
The trees outside the window swayed in the wind, and the projection of the branches cut the golden yellow on the ground, which was a little undignified.
It's quiet in the chamber, not that there's no one inside. On the contrary, there were several people inside, but the vast majority of them kept themselves silent as much as possible, so careful that they didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear of breaking this loneliness that could never be described as "Enron".
This is because of a man, a man who stands in front of the open door of the council chamber, immersed in light and wind.
Like the shadows of the branches cutting through the afterglow of the setting sun, the wind stirred the heavy robe on his body, swaying slightly at his feet. It's a pity that this movement has no way to change the suffocating stillness behind him, but instead forms a very impactful contrast------ from the agility of the environment and the stagnation from the human heart.
The figure of that man was like a mountain that shielded the sun from the warm wind, separating the world outside the council chamber from the world inside the council chamber. On one side is the wind and sunshine, and on the other side is the haze.
Many people are familiar with this man, especially the Monya Empire, because he is none other than the king of this country, the wielder of the Celtic sword------ His Majesty Emperor Kirklough Stewart.
In front of the Klimt Palace, there is a sculpture of a large sword on Celtic Square, called the Celtic Holy Sword. There was also a sword on the waist of Kirclough I, also called the Celtic Holy Sword.
In fact, it was not so sacred, at least the wind passing through the hall outside could knock it from side to side, gently lapping the robe. Those who fear power and force will think it is sacred, and those who regard the Stewarts as a beast of prey will not think it is sacred, but will think that it is vicious and sinful.
It is said that after Maxwell Stewart established the Monya Empire, he used this long sword to preach papal power to the people on the high platform of Celtic Square and establish his rule, and since then this sword has become the standard equipment of every Monya Emperor.
Butfli Stewart, the elder brother of the Emperor Kirclov I, briefly owned it, but later fled from the traitor by using the Celtic Sword as a tool to break out of the shell of the golden cicada, rather than becoming a prisoner.
From this point of view, the Celtic Holy Sword still has some divine meaning, at least for Butterfille...... Although it didn't bring him power, it saved his life.
