The scene fell silent for a while, and the people of the three factions at the conference table had their own ideas in their hearts.

The first is this group of people who are in neutrality, and their so-called neutrality is not in a broad sense, but simply does not take sides within the empire, does not support Vystock or those who oppose it. However, in terms of their attitude towards the outside world, this group of people cannot be called neutral at all, for example, the question of civil strife in the republic raised by the old man earlier has already shown the greed of this group of people. And Morningstar's attitude towards them is naturally not too good, and it can even be said that it is a little rampant, bluntly saying that if someone wants to take advantage of the civil strife in the Republic to the detriment of the Republic, then ItGleason's army is the threshold they must cross. Morning Star's attitude is naturally not just talking, everyone present knows it. So no one dared to stand up and take a stand for a while, for fear of being targeted by this junior.

Then there were the opponents who were on the same side as the Duke of Wellington, and the representatives sent by these people were directly suppressed by the Morning Star, so that they also began to sum up. It can't be said that they are afraid of the morning star, at most they are just weighing the gains and losses. Even so, Morningstar's performance was enough to overjoyed the people of the Westock faction.

As for Vistock, at this time, the eyes of Morning Star have completely lost their previous unhappiness, and they have returned to the old man's appearance of appreciating his son-in-law's wonderful performance.

Morningstar made a good start, Vicstock naturally would not let such a good scene go to waste, in the silence of everyone, Vetstock suddenly said: "So, as the lord of Itgleason, what attitude do you want to show Morningstar?" ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Morningstar replied, "Your Excellency, even if I am not a person who grew up in the Republic, in the current situation, I will choose to spare no effort to help the Republic. I'm sure you'll have the same judgment as I did about the Mandate of Heaven Sect that I told you before, am I right? ”

The double reed performance of Weng and his son-in-law is wonderful, but the audience at a table is confused, the matter of the Heavenly Mandate Sect? What's up? Is there anything that Vestock and Morningstar know that no one else knows? So everyone's eyes fell on Vistock, expecting Vistock's explanation. It can be seen that Vistock just frowned and said nothing, and someone took the lead and couldn't help but say: "Lord Führer, may I ask what this sentence of Morning Star means, is there any secret weapon of the Heavenly Mandate Sect?" ”

Vistock looked at the person who asked the question lightly, pursed his lips, and said, "Secret weapon? Ladies and gentlemen, we always thought we knew about the Mandate of Heaven Sect, but after this invasion, I suddenly realized that we were all wrong. There is no secret weapon, the entire Heavenly Mandate Sect is a secret to us! ”

"You mean, our previous judgments of the Heavenly Mandate Sect were all wrong?"

"That's right, you don't even know anything!"

"It can't be! Our spies have sent back so much news from the Alliance, all wrong? ”

Vistock looked at the Duke of Wellington, who had already stood up, and said lightly: "Why do you need to be so excited, calm down."

As the king of the north of the empire, is this only the kind of bearing? ”

Of course, Vistock would not know why the Duke of Wellington was so excited, if he could spy on people's hearts, I am afraid that he would definitely be tempted to slaughter the Duke of Wellington at this moment.

The king of the north of the empire seems to outsiders to have a status on a par with Vestock, just like the legendary king of the Republic, a transcendent being. I don't know if this is how Vistock is positioned as the King of the North, at least the Duke of Wellington feels that he is. The territory of the king of the north is very vast, since the empire was controlled by Weistock, Wellington has been given a lot of power, he can develop independently, expand independently, as long as he submits to the empire, anything can be done without consulting Weistock. Because of this, Wellington sprouted a heart of disobedience, believing that he could independently lead the Northland of the empire, and what he lacked was just an opportunity. And the appearance of the Mandate of Heaven Sect made the Duke of Wellington smell the opportunity, and he began to actively use the information of the Mandate of Heaven Sect, and the results were very good. Wellington believes that the tenacious vitality of the Manifest Destiny Sect in the Alliance's Aglon Star Zone is a manifestation of their true power. A little Manifest Destiny decides to infiltrate the Empire, and the Empire will suffer the same predicament as the Agren Sector. At that time, Vystock's popularity will continue to decline, and as the fourth in line to power in the imperial emergency mechanism, he can take advantage of the situation and take the ruling power of the empire from Vystock by relatively peaceful means. It is not unreasonable for the Duke of Wellington to think this way, if the empire also falls into the quagmire of the alliance, Vistock and Caterina will inevitably be questioned by the people, and after their popularity drops to the freezing point, the people will naturally expect a new leader to stand up. And which one is the third in line, Wellington really didn't take him in his eyes, saying that he was a mediocre person, and he looked down on that person. That's why Wellington came to Carlinghold without permission when Vistock strictly forbade it. Hui Linton never thought that there would be such a person as Morning Star. I never thought that Morningstar could bring the situation under control so quickly. It can be said that Morningstar sabotaged Wellington's plans, which is why Wellington was unusually unfriendly to Morningstar. But even so, Wellington still has confidence, he firmly believes that the information in his hands is all that the Mandate of Heaven Sect has, and he firmly believes that the analysis given to him by his war brain is correct, so he predicts that the Mandate Sect will definitely make a comeback, thus plunging Vestokla into the quagmire. In this way, the empire that he took into his hands would be a relatively intact whole, and those of the Mandate of Heaven who had put Visto into the quagmire would be wiped out by the iron hooves of the empire's northern armies.

However, the previous conversation between Morningstar and Vestock made him very worried, and the Mandate of Heaven Sect, which was the most crucial part of his overall plan, was now changing beyond his control, how could this be good?

Ignoring Wellington, Vystock lit his signature thick cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "The Manifest Sect as we know it

, not even fur at all. The dead soldiers who gave the alliance a headache and were difficult to solve were just a kind of test test among the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Sect. All of you, can you assure me that you will be 100 per cent victorious against the dead? After waiting for a moment, no one stood up to speak, and Vystock continued: "I don't think so, we are all so difficult to deal with some experimental subjects, can you still think that the Mandate of Heaven Sect is a rabble?" ”

"Your Excellency, how did you know that these dead men were just test subjects? Is that what Morningstar told you? Another person asked.

Vistock nodded, looked at Morningstar, and motioned for Morningstar to continue.

"I said that!" Morning Star looked at the man in a military uniform and said, "Before this battle, I, like everyone here, thought that the Heavenly Mandate Sect was just an ordinary cult, and their methods were all ghostly tricks that could not be put on the table. But it wasn't that long ago that I realized that I was very wrong, and the methods of the Heavenly Mandate Sect were all technologies that we didn't understand! ”

"Morningstar, aren't you too alarmist! Technology? Are you saying that we humans can't compare to those guys from the Manifest Destiny Sect? Or are you denying the great progress of human interstellar navigation? The person who spoke, Morning Star, also had the impression that Caterina was not complimentary when she introduced him, and that she should be a neutral person. But why he was so excited, Morningstar didn't know. Turning his head, Morningstar looked at the person who spoke seriously. It looks like he is already very old, at least older than Zhu Nianguo. The wrinkles on his face were a little vicissitudes, and the big and thick glasses made Morning Star a little dizzy to see, and the scholarly outfit on his body made Morning Star understand the reason for this person's excitement.

"This is the president of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences, and in the field of science and technology, there is no one in the entire empire who has a higher voice than him." Without waiting for Morningstar to answer, Caterina stood behind Morningstar reminded in a low voice.

Morning Star knew in his heart, I am afraid that Morning Star's words inadvertently hurt this old man. Like other scientific and technological workers, the degree of scientific and technological development of a nation, a country, or even a race is their own honor and dignity in their eyes. Morningstar's words undoubtedly hurt the dignity of these scientific and technological workers.

Morning Star bowed slightly to the old man very sincerely, showing great humility, and then stood up straight and said, "Old man, I hope you can forgive me for my offense just now. Still, I'd like to say a few more words. ”

The old man was discouraged by Morning Star's politeness, so he nodded and replied, "Say it." ”

"Sir, as the first person in the Empire's field of technology, you should have been in contact with the Psynnus technicians I brought from Itgleason, right? Don't know what to say? ”

Morning Star's words were very polite, and he asked the old gentleman what his opinion was, and he had lowered his posture and asked for the guidance of his seniors as a junior.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Very pertinently, the people of Pusenchus

It's true that they're a lot more technologically advanced than humans, but I've talked to them in depth about how long their race is better than us. If we bring the time back to the same starting line, we humans are more powerful and technologically advanced than the Psienchus of the same period. ”

The old man's words made many people present nod their heads, and even Morning Star felt a trace of pride, but this trace of pride was not enough to make Morning Star forget about the crisis. Affirming the old man's point of view, Morningstar asked again, "Then I don't know old man, have you discussed the technology of portals with those technicians?" ”

The old man replied: "Of course, this kind of technology is far different from the space jumping technology we use, and it can even be said that it is much more high-end than the space jumping technology. I've heard that there are already multiple portals like this in Itgleason, but they can't be used by humans, only by those of the Pusenchus? ”

"Yes, it's really unusable by humans." Morningstar replied, looking around for a moment, and continued, "But, did you know that the people of the Heavenly Mandate Sect can actually use this technology! ”

"What!"

"Do you have proof?"

"How is this possible?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise until Vestock stepped forward to suppress the chaotic scene, and the old man from before also became extremely serious at this moment, and asked Morning Star, "Lord Morning Star, you should know that there are some things that cannot be said nonsense. ”

Morningstar replied, "I saw it with my own eyes! ”

The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Can you talk to me?" ”

Morningstar cleared his throat and replied, "Of course it's fine!" As you should know, during the previous counterattack, Eva and I infiltrated a high-risk area to investigate. It was there that I met a man, or rather, he wasn't a person anymore. The man's name was Abaddon, and he called himself the Lord of the Plague, and he himself introduced that the plague virus and the dead men belonged to him. I don't understand why he didn't attack me, but treated me like an old friend I hadn't seen in years. He quietly accompanied me to watch the dead men emerge from the portal one by one, and told me with great interest that the dead soldiers are not perfect, and the portal technology they have mastered is not mature enough, and there will be many failures. I've seen some dead people split into pieces by the sheer power of the portal, and they die on the spot. ”

"Wait! Wait a minute! It was the old man again, who directly interrupted Morning Star's words, and asked, "What do you mean?" The soldiers of the Manifest Destiny Sect who invaded Kalinhold all arrived on the surface through portals? ”

Morningstar nodded and replied, "Unfortunately, that's right." ”

"Hiss......"

The vast majority of the people in the conference hall gasped, Morning Star's words gave them a sense of crisis, the Heavenly Mandate Sect had already mastered this kind of technology, didn't it mean that they could casually infiltrate any place they wanted to reach?

"I, I seem to get it!" Another man in the uniform of an Imperial officer slapped the table, got up and shouted, "Lord Morning Star,

If I'm not mistaken, the three strange ships that our Kalinghod Defense Force besieged in space earlier were the transports of these dead men who landed! ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Morning Star because of the officer's words, but they heard Morning Star say, "Yes, but it's not comprehensive. Those three ships are not only transport ships, but also the input end of the portal, and according to my analysis, the Manifest Destiny Sect, like the Psinzus, cannot ignore the distance even if they have mastered the portal technology. So they piloted three transport ships, loaded the input of the portal, and then set up the output on the surface of Kalinghod by some means, and completed the attack on Kalinghod. ”

"Damn!" The officer slapped his thigh fiercely, and said remorsefully: "If I knew that this was the case, I should have ordered it at that time to directly destroy the three transport ships, why bother to let Kalinhod suffer such a catastrophe!" ”

Although it is a child's heart, he does not realize the crux of the problem. The officer's remorse was meaningless to Morningstar, because, with the firepower of the Imperial ships, it was impossible to penetrate the defenses of those three ships. However, Morningstar did not hit him, but comforted him: "This general, you are not to blame for this, even I, who came to their teleportation site in person, only figured this out after that Abaddon led the army to withdraw. It's just a pity that Abaddon left me with a big problem when he left, and although I defeated that thing, I didn't protect the portal, and it was all destroyed by that thing. ”

Morningstar's words made the officer feel better, but he was caught by the Duke of Wellington.

"That thing? What do you mean? Is it a mech, or a warrior, or something else? Are you trying to cover up something when you're so vague? ”

Morningstar wanted to praise the Duke of Wellington for his stupidity at this moment, but the occasion was inappropriate, and doing so would ruin the purpose of Morningstar's trip, so Morningstar held back, and replied with a smile on his face: "Lord Duke, respected King of the North, also as a warrior, if you have experienced battles like me, I think you should know that there are some things that cannot be shown to others casually, are you right?" ”

Wellington was stunned for a moment, but instead of hearing the mockery in Morningstar's mouth, he paid attention to the default rules that Morningstar said, thought for a moment, and said, "You're right, some things do need to be kept secret. But I think that all of you here are important people in the Empire, and you should be qualified to look at what you are talking about. Are you right? Your Excellency. ”

Morningstar felt his back molars itch a little, and the Duke of Wellington didn't know if he was really stupid or skillful, so he didn't care about his sarcasm, but instead threw this hot potato to Vystock, which was really cunning. But who knows, Vistock is even more cunning, and after thinking for a while, Vistock said: "After all, I didn't come to the scene in person, I think there are some things that you still have to decide on the morning star." ”

I'll go! Morning Star sighed in his heart, the old fox is the old fox, and he actually put it again

The problem is thrown to oneself, and it is difficult for oneself to refuse.

After a moment's thought, Morningstar nodded, and then the communication was connected, and after a few words, he asked everyone to wait a little while he himself sat down in his seat and went to whisper to Caterina.

The short break calmed the atmosphere in the conference room, turning attention to where it should have been. Everyone was talking to each other about what had happened before. Moments later, a plea was heard outside the conference room, saying that an ItGleason soldier had sent a video. Vistock had his men carry the footage into the conference room and give it to Katarina. At Katerina's actions, a hologram appeared in the middle of the conference room, showing a giant jumping worm and several Itgleeson soldiers.

"This, how is this possible!"

"Oh my God! Is this a jumping worm? How could it be so huge! ”
