"Oh, that's for the best! Lord Ulam, if you can, the Tashmungon family also welcomes the Kaldo fleet to destroy the attackers. It would be best if you could give a specific time, so as not to delay the date of His Majesty's expedition. "It wasn't Emre who responded, but a young-looking woman, and if she could represent the Tashmungon family, it would have to be the Katis matriarch.

This was also very polite, the Tashmengon family was also attacked by an unknown spaceship, and the loss was not as great as that of the Adisapor family, but it also caused panic. If someone dares to say cool things to their faces, they really won't get used to it with Katis's strong personality.

"It's just some pirates, the two of you are exaggerating...... "I wanted to say something cheap in front of the emperor, but I didn't expect to run into hard stubble, and in the face of the Katis matriarch, Ulam was not so tough.

"Pirates? Lord Ulam, are you implying that the Imperial Navy and His Majesty's Special Service Fleet are just as wasteful as our family fleet? "Katis is the youngest among the Electors and Patriarchs, and his qualifications are very shallow, but his momentum is really not weak at all.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that, Your Excellency Katis is a little too sensitive!" Seeing that Katis, who was a retailer, could only ask the emperor for help, and if he continued, he might pull out something.

"Karthos, is there any news of the attackers?" Naturally, the emperor would side with Ulam, and simply ask a question to skipped the quarrel between the two families.

"Your Majesty, according to the Naval Intelligence Directorate's analysis of each battlefield data, it has been determined that the attacker was a Juggernaut-class cruiser and a destroyer-class armed ship similar to an autonomous drone. Just received a message from the Admiralty that they escaped in the roundup, and there is no news about it yet. ”

The court minister is not a messy position, and at such times it becomes a tool to shift the focus. Respond appropriately, and the topic will naturally change successfully. If you don't answer well, you will be scolded by the emperor at least, or you will become the target of attack. Fortunately, he has mastered this over the years, and in addition to eating and sleeping, most of the time is spent pondering what issues the emperor is paying attention to, and then memorize it in his heart.

“…… Escaped! Attic, is that so? Hearing Karthos' return, Canedi II turned his gaze to Attic. Coezzo.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I just received a report from the Commander of Operations...... The Imperial fleet lost two destroyers, the Tashmungon fleet lost one cruiser, and the Canidi fleet lost four cruisers, destroyers, and frigates......"

As the Minister of Defense of the Empire, as soon as I heard this topic, I knew that I couldn't hide from it, as soon as the emperor's voice fell, the battlefield data and preliminary analysis data were all displayed on the virtual screen, and the responsibility should not be passed on to each other, all of them were not fools, let's see for ourselves.

"Your Majesty, the Star Gate has obviously been closed, but the enemy is still escaping, and the Star Gate Blockade Fleet should be held responsible!" This time, it was Ullam who spoke first, and just now Katis made him very unable to get off the stage, and now the opportunity for revenge has come.

"Your Excellency Ulam, I have to say that you lack the necessary common sense. When the stargate is closed, the blockade fleet is only to capture the enemy who is blocked in front of the stargate, there is no possibility of deliberate collaboration with the enemy, and it will take three and a half hours to restart the stargate at the earliest. ”

The main force of the ambush was the Imperial Navy, and the family fleet was responsible for logistical support, and if it was determined that the enemy had escaped from the Stargate, the Tashmungon family would be the main responsibility. But Ullam miscalculated again, and as the Katis matriarch said, he was too lacking in common sense, or too eager to behave.

"This is not the first time, last time in the Voshen system, the enemy also attacked the family fleet that cleaned the battlefield when the system was closed, and then disappeared without a trace. Ten hours later they attacked three more patrol ships from three systems away, and I think the enemy was far more than two ships, they should have used four or more ships, but they looked very similar in appearance and combat methods. If that's the case, the family fleet can't leave the station easily, it's likely to be a big conspiracy, and the Tashmengon Residency event hasn't been long ago. ”

Seeing that Ulam was speechless by the Katis matriarch, Emre also suggested another possibility at the right time. It sounds like he was relieving the siege of Ulam, but in fact he was looking for a rationale for the family fleet not to go on the expedition.

Regardless of what the other families thought, the Adesapor definitely didn't want to go to war with the Amada at this time. If the war is combined, the five or six galaxies bordering the Drake Star Domain of the Attisapor family will become the forward position, and it is necessary to provide sufficient supplies for the fleets of various races and the Imperial Navy.

This kind of thing is a good thing that cannot be hoped for before the abdication of Emperor Younis, and whether you win or lose, you can win countless benefits for the family. But now that the family is in turmoil, more than half of the warship manufacturing industry has been cut off, and it has no strength to compete with the imperial government anymore.

If the war were won, it would be difficult for the Adesapor family to receive compensation from the Imperial Government. At that time, the Imperial Navy and warships of various clans will gather all over the family star field, and it is not impossible to disarm the family, which just creates conditions for getting rid of an Elector family.

If the war is lost, the victor will definitely not stop advancing at the border, and then all parts of the family star field will become battlefields, and even after the armistice, no one will bear the losses.

Watching the Electors fighting each other, Canedi II had closed his eyes. This scene was something he had expected but he didn't want to see, the emperor was far from being as majestic as the outside world imagined, even if there was an emperor who said the same, it was definitely not his current self.

If it does not have the support of the electors, whoever makes a proposal to the Council of Believers will have only one outcome and will be rejected. Even if the emperor has the right to mobilize the imperial navy, two-thirds of the imperial armed forces are concentrated in the hands of the elector family, and it is too underestimated to use less than one-third of the number to fight the republic, not to mention that there is a federal navy that is stronger than the republic.

But without transferring the family fleet to the front line, it is impossible for them to fully control the power of the empire, originally their families had no reason to refuse, who would have thought that they had planned for so long, but in the end they let that guy mess up.

Canedi II had already had a guess in his mind about who the attacker was, and after seeing the small spaceship with its energy shield and alloy armor, the answer was obvious.

It was he who successfully rescued the empress under the siege of hundreds of warships, and almost ruined his plan to kill people with a knife; It was also he who made public the news that the empress was still alive, which intensified the contradictions within the empire; Or did he kidnap Gordon, the executor of the Angel Consortium, under the noses of the Unification Ministry. Isaac, the son of Starmai and the House of Gora, further catalyzed the dissolution of the Unification Ministry; Now, at a critical moment, he gave the electors an excuse to refuse to send troops, and in just a few years, he had shattered the situation he had been planning for decades.

If I hadn't seen his origins, I would have thought that my companions had been resurrected again. But even if it's just a failed experiment, there's still nothing good to do with him. This guy seems to have found the only remaining Sleeper base, and successfully cracked the base mastermind, otherwise where did all this technology come from with the obvious Sleeper's imprint?

"Your Majesty...... There's something very urgent that you need to decide......" A soft cry woke up the lost Emperor, and Karthos reached his side with his mastermind in his hand.

"Gentlemen, I would like to announce the good news that the Canedi fleet has discovered the raider's lair, which is on the El Mora space station in the Drake Field. Just a minute ago, a message came from that space station, and although it was short, I could be sure it was from the Carnedy pilot who had disappeared in Emma's system! After a brief glance at the Portable Mastermind, Canedy II suddenly stood up, his dead face with an expression, and his voice much louder.

"Could it be that he was rescued by a passing boat?" The Katis matriarch didn't care too much about the news, a brief signal from a pilot didn't mean much, there were too many possibilities.
