“…… Well, the Sadom family is willing to join ......" The Empress pondered for a moment with a calm face, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Didn't you say it had nothing to do with the family? Can you represent them? Unfortunately, the Empress's expression was not approved of by Claire.

"The Elector family needs many generations of children to be buried with an emperor, and there is a glimmer of hope that he will not give up on his own emperor. But my people alone can't fight against the emperor, and even if the Adesapor family is willing to help, the victory is still five-five. If the two sides are at a stalemate for too long, the Union and the Republic will take advantage of the situation, and then no one can control the situation. The Empress explained Claire's questioning very reasonably.

"Refa, should I believe or question it?" But she didn't say that at the beginning, what was abandoned by the family, and she couldn't go back to her family, but it was miserable. Now that there is a sudden 180-degree reversal, no one will be calm. Don't look at Hong Tao's mouth, there is no truth, but he hates others to lie to him the most.

"Dontes, please forgive me, in that case I was responsible for the whole clan, and I could only choose to hide it......" The empress still did not change her face and her heart did not beat, and her answer seemed to make sense.

"And what about in this case?" Hong Tao is still very uneasy, God knows under what circumstances you will tell the truth, how should this thing cooperate?

"Our children are a guarantee and an important bargaining chip to convince the family. Dantès, I think you should go back to the satellite base with me instead of staying here......" The Empress finally had an expression, patted her belly triumphantly, and looked at Claire.

"I know you did it on purpose, but I'm not angry, and even if I'm angry, I won't quarrel with you at this time, Aite needs your advice, not flirting." But the provocation was unsuccessful, and Claire calmly pointed out the folly of such an act, not only in anger.

"......" Hong Tao is really gratifying, it is very important to have a rational female companion, such as now.

"We also need the help of the Tashmungon family......" Seeing that the provocation was unsuccessful and allowed Claire to take advantage, the empress immediately changed her strategy and made a serious suggestion.

"Why Tashmongon?" The trick worked, and Hong Tao had to immediately turn his attention away from Claire.

"They are friends of House Sadom, and as the newest Elector, it is easier for them to agree with me in many ways, and they are willing to take risks to reap greater benefits as long as they come up with a practical plan and show some strength."

It seems that the Empress is not lying, and that the Tashmungon family was indeed among the forces that supported her reform of slavery, and she still feels that she can regain the support of this family.

"I've met Miss Katis twice and I don't know her very well, but she's a customer of the Poetry Group, and Sanger should have been in touch with more." Hong Tao and Claire have no say in the intricate family relationships within the empire, and can only listen to the empress's arrangement, but when it comes to the Tashmengon family, Claire has an idea. Unlike the traditional imperial aristocracy, the family started out in retail, and was more open to the outside world.

"It's a convenience, I don't need Miss Sanger yet, Miss Cadis and I are very good friends, I know her principles very well, and if you want to cooperate with her, you must have a certain strength, and it is best not to make hasty contact until she shows her what we are capable of. I'd suggest starting with the Atisapo family, they're having a hard time right now, they have the least options to choose from, and the least price we have to pay. But a few scandals alone are not enough to make Emre obedient, and we also have to show him what we are capable of. It's up to you, Dontès......"

The Empress partially agrees with Claire's suggestion, but disagrees with the order of contact. It seemed to her that it would be more difficult to convince the Tashmungon family than the Adesapor family, even though the former had been her allies.

“…… I'm not a good candidate for negotiation, am I? "Hong Tao has been to the capital of the empire, and he has also seen the upper class of the Federation, and he really doesn't think that he has the talent to exchange benefits with those nobles. And his identity is too sensitive, and it will not do any good for negotiations, which will be even more difficult.

"She didn't ask you to negotiate, but to send you to death, and this is the first time I've seen a woman encourage her husband to take risks!" This time, Claire understood first, and she didn't say she disagreed, but there was obviously emotion in her words.

"If Dantès needs me, I'll be more than happy to go with him......" In the face of Claire's verbal attack, the empress responded with practical actions, and then handed over the decision to the man, blinking her big innocent eyes and waiting for the verdict.

“…… I still don't understand how to show strength? "The drama of being caught between two women and being splinted Hong Tao will experience it every life, and it has become a habit, sometimes he is still sandwiched between several women, and he doesn't take it to heart at all, but he doesn't quite understand what Claire means by taking risks.

"It's like attacking angelic mercenaries to go around the territory of the empire and fight as much as possible against the forces of the Adesapor and Tashmungon families. After they were beaten, they had the patience to negotiate terms with us. ”

“…… Well, I'm ready to go again. Hong Tao thought about it, and yes, this is the fastest and most direct way to show his strength, which is in line with the ancient saying, if you don't fight, you don't know each other!

"Do you believe what she says?" Sending the Empress away, Claire is still a little reluctant.

"I don't believe it, so I need you to watch her every move here, watch the house, and even if I fail, there will be a place to hide." It's also strange to say, the empress didn't have any role at the beginning, Hong Tao was easier to believe, and now her role is becoming more and more important, and trust has also decreased.

"But I don't feel at ease if you go alone......" Claire has no objection to staying to help her man take care of the house, this job can't be replaced by others, but she is even more worried about letting the man take risks alone. Compared with the aimless wandering to attack the angelic mercenaries, it is more difficult to penetrate deep into the territory of the empire for a long time to harass and fight, after all, it is a country, and it is still the most powerful country.

"I'll bring Sandra and the new drone, she's more familiar with this way of fighting than you. It's just that as soon as she leaves, the defense of the entire home galaxy will be on you, and our clone pilots will have to step up their training, and if my whereabouts are revealed, we will have to count on them to defend our homeland. ”

Hong Tao thought clearly about this question just now, it doesn't matter if he goes out to take risks, as long as the home galaxy is still in his hands, even if he dies outside, he can still be resurrected with full blood immediately.

Claire is not only a counterweight to the increasingly powerful Empress, but also a seamless communication with Sanger. If Sanger had figured out the Sleeper cloning technology a day earlier, he would have been able to quickly create a cloned pilot a day earlier.

After talking for a long time, there is still a shortage of manpower, if there are ten clone pilots like Sandra around at this time, let alone being a rogue, they have the confidence to attack a galaxy head-on.

"I'll go back to the El Mora space station to urge Sanger, and by the way, explain about Isaac, who is sometimes as easy to mess around as a child. Be careful with yourself Sandra......"

The lack of a suitable helper is also realized, and when she looks at the entire home system, she doesn't feel that anyone can be trusted, including Sandra, except for a few children and Anhaka. A captive from a Bloodthirsty Raider sounds very unreliable.

Seeing Claire away, Hong Tao finally has time to focus on Sandra's work, and her task is not idle, while training several clone pilots, while also juggling the security of the entire galaxy and the construction of spaceships.

"If you run around like this again, I'll confiscate your legs!" As soon as he came to the assembly workshop, a figure flew out of the airtight door and knocked Hong Tao away.

Luckily, there is a metal shell on the head, otherwise it would have rubbed against the hard alloy floor. You don't need to look at Hong Tao clearly to know who the culprit is, and the only person in the entire home galaxy who can run so fast is a shy ghost with mechanical legs.

"Mr. Dantès, I have a new leg...... "Seeing that her master had been hit so badly, the little girl bit her lip and looked embarrassed.
