In the high-level conference room, General Miha Vicky, who is in charge of the command of the standing fleet of the Lunar Pleiades, is reporting the battle situation to His Royal Highness the Ten Princes and Lord Silda.

Li Zhong knew that General Miha Vechi, who was an outstanding commander of fleet operations, was also a member of the Silvan clan, but he was not a source of power, he was promoted by Sildai from his own army to help the Ten Princes.

That's right, Syldae has his own territory and army, which is larger than the Pleiades system, two whole star fields! He was only here to help his nephew secure his fiefdom.

"So far, after the Dark Empire declared war, in a short period of time, my Heavenly Spirit Empire has completely lost control of the three immigrant planets on the southwest border, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Frontier Fleets of the Empire stationed in the Gothic system have suffered heavy losses. All that remained were a dozen or so Skysong-class heavy battleships, a fully staffed Ranger light cruiser, and a heavily damaged Djinn-class space carrier. After learning that there was a huge disparity in numbers with the Dark Empire fleet, the Milo fleet group that went to support the Gothic system was resisting the attack of the Dark Empire fleet with the remaining border fleets on Goth, the capital of the Gothic system, with the consent of the Imperial Military Department, but the situation was not optimistic. ”

General Mihavich's voice was a little hoarse, it had only been a celestial since the Dark Empire's declaration of war, and although the border guards of the Celestial Spirit Empire had noticed the Dark Empire's unusual fleet deployment, they were still not well prepared.

Not only was it raided by the Dark Empire's fleet and suffered heavy losses, but it also led to the fact that it was now only barely able to organize resistance, let alone fight back.

When the Ten Princes saw Li Zhong enter the conference room, they nodded and signaled that he could stay in the conference room.

So Li Zhong carefully placed the fruit on the conference table, and then placed two plates of delicate crimson pudding in front of the Tenth Prince and Sildai, and then retreated into the corner.

"Who is leading the fleet of the Dark Empire? How is the combat power? ”

The Ten Princes asked casually, and by the way, he looked at the dim sum in front of him, which looked good and had a fragrance.

"Your Highness! The commander-in-chief of the Dark Empire's fleet is Yassin Bonu! Three full-fledged starfleets, twelve space assault armored infantry legions, and the Dark Empire's elite legions, the Dark Shadow Legion, and ...... Dark Troops. ”

Miha Veitch said with a bad face the total number of troops attacking the Dark Empire, the army of the Dark Empire is very strong, and it is precisely because of this that the unprepared army of the Heavenly Spirit Empire will be defeated one after another.

"Yassin Bonu? A starfield-level powerhouse known as the 'Dark Shadow Earl'? I remember that the Gothic galaxy seems to have a star-level powerhouse? No matter how the border fleet is, it is impossible to fight back? ”

The Ten Princes took a bite of the crimson pudding, it tasted good, he liked it very much, and asked Li Zhong to distribute the rest of the pudding to all the bigwigs in the conference room.

"Thank you!" General Yasin thanked Li Zhong for bringing him snacks and motioned for Li Zhong to put them on the table.

"Your Highness! Don't forget that there are also the Dark Spirit Forces, their leader, Di Ye, is also a star-level powerhouse, so Lord Weston, who was guarding the Gothic system, was besieged by two star-level and was seriously injured, and the battleship equipped with the anti-source force jammer was also destroyed by the enemy warship! ”

"Okay, how many troops and warships do you think I should send to reinforce the Gothic system?"

The Tenth Prince finally spoke of the main topic of the military council, and brought the pudding in front of his uncle by the way, because Sildai did not like these sweet snacks.

"This ...... Your Highness, you also know that the Pleiades system is next to the Religious Alliance and the undeveloped Barbarian Star Field, there are no resources to take advantage of, and the military force is very weak, although there is an Imperial Border Fleet stationed there, but you cannot mobilize these forces......"

"So the only reinforcements you can send are the Royal 10th Fleet to protect you, as well as two local fleets and a full army armored ......"

"Humph!" Hearing this, the Ten Princes angrily swept the uneaten crimson pudding to the ground, "Do you want me to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy myself!" Can a local fleet come in handy? It's okay to fight a space pirate, fight? You're sending them to their deaths! ”

The entire conference room suddenly fell silent, and only the angry voices of the Ten Princes echoed.

"Why? Why! Why did the Imperial Military Department only let my Pleiades and Milo systems support the battlefield! Don't forget that the Gothic galaxy is next to the Orion Star Field, which is known as the Imperial Barracks, why didn't the governor of the Orion Star Field send troops! Just because the Archons of the Milo system support me, are they going to wipe us out?!! Is the Empire going to give up the Commie Jupiter Domain!! ”

The more the Ten Princes talked, the more angry they became, and finally left the place where they were sad in the Heavenly Spirit Palace, and had their own fiefdom, although it was very small, it was the first thing that belonged to him after all.

By the way, the Gomi Jupiter Domain is composed of the Gothic Galaxy, the Milo Galaxy, and the Jupitiates Galaxy, and it stands to reason that the fiefdoms of the Ten Princes must be at least one star field, but the Imperial Decree Department only gave the Ten Princes the Pleiades Galaxy.

The consul of the Milo system belongs to the kind of guy who is outspoken and advised, and when he saw that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes was treated unfairly, he wrote to the Imperial Decree Department, saying that his Milo system was willing to be the fief of the Ten Princes.

"Oh my God! Pay attention to identity! This is an order from the Imperial Military Department! It's the order of the Supreme! You have to comply! ”

Sildai warns his nephew to watch his words.

"*** order! The Imperial War just wants me dead! Let me, a lowly seed who has lost all the face of the Heavenly Spirit Supreme, die! Go to the supreme ...... of TM"

"Smack!"

Sildai slapped the Ten Princes in the face, and Sildai had a lot of strength and directly knocked the Ten Princes to the ground.

All the Pleiades bigwigs present lowered their heads one by one, indicating that the floor of the conference room today was very beautiful!

And Li Zhong looked at the poor Royal Highness of the Ten Princes, and expressed deep sympathy in his heart.

After a long time, the Ten Princes seemed to be quiet, struggling to get up from the ground, Li Zhong saw clearly in the corner, and the Ten Princes wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth without a trace, as well as a tear from the corner of his eyes......

"Excellencies, uncle! I lost my temper just now, please forgive me, I'm a little tired, uncle, you can help me arrange reinforcements for the Gothic galaxy troops. ”

After speaking, the Ten Princes lifted up their seats, sat down quietly, lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Alas~" Looking at the bruised and swollen face of his nephew and the remaining blood stains on the corner of his mouth, Sildai felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't regret the slap he made, because what the Ten Princes said, he should be beaten!

"Miha!" Sildai took over the reins and gave the order.

"Here! Your Excellency, please give your order! Miha Vic, who was still working as an ostrich just now, heard the order and stood up directly.

"You lead the two local fleets of the Lunar Circle and the only army armored unit in the Pleiades system, and set off first! Arrive in the Gothic system as soon as possible, join the fleet of the Milo system, and defend the Gothic! The Empire's territory cannot be allowed to fall again! ”

"Yes!" Mihavich gave a military salute, received the order directly, turned around and walked out of the conference room, and dispatched the fleet.

"Karen!" Sildai yelled at the door.

"My lord! Subordinates are here! Cullen walked in through the door.

"Karen, leave a royal guard squad, and the rest of you lead the support of the Gothic system with Miha!" Sildai thought about it for a moment and finally gave the order.

"Yes! That one...... Lord Silda, is the Royal 10th Fleet reinforcing the Gothic system? ”

Cullen asked cautiously.

"Nope! 10th Fleet ...... If the Empire does not send more reinforcements and wants to abandon the Comi-Jupiter Domain, the Tenth Fleet will lead His Royal Highness to retreat......"

The Ten Princes' bodies trembled visibly.

Fall back? If it doesn't sound good, it is a deserter, and the ten princes, who were not treated well in the upper echelons of the empire, have to bear the humiliation of deserters.

[Heh! I, the so-called prince of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, am really aggrieved! 】

The Ten Princes clenched their fists, trying not to let their aggrieved tears fall.

He could imagine how his brothers and sisters would laugh at him when he fled back to the hinterland of the empire, the great nobles of the empire had another object to make fun of after dinner, and the annoyed face of his father, the Heavenly Spirit Supreme.

[Why?] Why is there no one to help me except my uncle? I really need help, whoever ......]

The Ten Princes once again felt the weakness of their strength, he was so eager for someone to support him, and he longed for someone to talk to.

It's a pity that no one wants to get close to him, even these high-ranking officials and nobles in the conference room, only because of Sildai will be loyal to the Ten Princes.

"Lord Silday! I hope to join Captain Cullen and support the Gothic system! ”

Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded and reached the ears of the Ten Princes, and the Ten Princes heard it, it was Li Zhong's voice.

[That idiot, what are you doing on the battlefield? The Ten Princes thought to themselves.

"What are you going to do? Sent to death? Do you think the battlefield is the battle in your gladiatorial arena? I don't know what to call a guy! Get out of the way! ”

Sildai was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to Li Zhong more, and Li Zhong's genes couldn't be copied or cracked, so it can be said that Sildai didn't have much interest in Li Zhong.

"My lord! I am the escort of the Ten Princes! His Royal Highness the Prince can't go to the battlefield, the small one can be understood, but the rest of the people of the empire won't understand, they will only think that the Ten Princes are a deserter! ”

"So what are you trying to express?" Sildai held back his anger and saw what tricks Li Zhong could say.

"So...... My lord! Please allow me to appear on the battlefield of the Gothic galaxy with the emblem of His Royal Highness! Let the soldiers of the Empire know that His Royal Highness is fighting with them! Even if I unfortunately die in battle, the war is lost, and His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is still alive, the people of the empire will only think that the Ten Princes have done their best, and they have not lost the face of the empire, and they will retreat as a last resort. ”

Li Zhong's words made Sildai's heart moved, and indeed Li Zhong's method could eliminate the impact of the Ten Princes fleeing without a fight to the greatest extent.

It can even be said that the Ten Princes did not escape! Didn't you see that the company of His Royal Highness the prince died in battle? The Ten Princes were forced to retreat in order to preserve the imperial army.

"My lord, I admit that I have selfish intentions! If...... I said that if I am lucky enough not to die, or if the Empire sends more reinforcements, when the war is successful, I hope that His Royal Highness will make me the Imperial Knight! ”

Li Zhong suddenly knelt down, threw himself to the ground, and said loudly towards the Ten Princes: "I, Li Zhong, a citizen of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, accompanied by the Ten Princes!" Take the oath here! I am willing to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, I am willing to become a servant of His Royal Highness, loyal to His Highness's affairs, and I am willing to do my best to kill all the enemies of His Highness! Even if you die! No regrets! ”

"Li Zhong! I accept your oath! "The Ten Princes stood up, finally! Finally someone is loyal to him!

The Ten Princes were very excited, tears flowed uncontrollably, and he used the power ring representing his identity to put it against Li Zhong's head and said, "I! Prince of the Heavenly Spirit Empire! The Supreme Son - Heaven's Forsaken! Accept Li Zhong's allegiance! ”
