In the Tyranid Empire, there is a provision in the imperial succession statute that all princes and princesses have the same inheritance rights. After birth, they are not allowed to stay with their biological mothers, but must be sent out of the court and handed over to their adoptive parents. If you wait until the emperor of the empire dies, find the highest social status and the most accomplished child from among all the heirs to inherit the emperor's position.

Because Ishtar is constantly fighting abroad, he will often look for beautiful women to mate with in conquered countries and civilizations. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be many wild species left, although the empire will not recognize their status, but the inheritance rights of these children will be recognized, and as long as they work hard to obtain a better status, they will also be allowed to compete for the position of emperor.

It was such a provision that the position of the emperor himself, relatively speaking, was very consolidated. Because every prince and princess, or any descendant of Ishta, can only be recognized through their own efforts. If you want to fight for power and seize the position, you want to win over your close ministers, such a means will not bring the slightest meaning.

-- Dividing line --

Tyranid Empire, Imperial Palace: Augustograd.

Ishtar had been with Jupiter for several days, and for a few days had not done any official business. When he came to the office here, the adjutant arrived in a panic: "Oh no, Your Majesty the Emperor!" According to the latest intelligence, the Imir want to gather forces against the Empire, which is to get rid of the Empire's rule! ”

"Humph! Is this looking for death? Hearing this news and seeing this information, Ista turned cold: "Childish thoughts, the Tyranid Empire has been established for thousands of years, and the price of unwillingness to surrender is only death, is the Ymir clan obsessed?" ”

More than 2,000 years ago, the Tyranid Empire slaughtered all adult males of the Imir tribe. Plundered countless young women, and even royalty was insulted, and even given to others by Ista at will. The two sides have formed a life-and-death feud!

It's just that after the First World War, the vitality of the Ymir tribe was greatly damaged, and the empire was even more prosperous. Therefore, he has been very submissive for a long time, and every year he pays tribute to Ishtar with beautiful female pets, as well as countless gold and silver treasures. This is what can be regarded as surviving and slowly recovering from his vitality.

In the face of the Zerg invasion, the Ymir did not participate in the battle, and completely watched the Tyranid Empire and the Zerg fight. As a result, the main forces of the Tyranid Empire are now suffering heavy losses, although the prestige of the Empire is at its peak. However, in the battle with the Zerg, the Empire's military strength inevitably declined.

What's more, the current Tylen Empire, not to mention the loss of the army, even if it is to pay for the fallen soldiers, it has almost emptied the last son of the treasury. And one thing you need to know here is that the war between the Tyranid Empire and the Zerg is different from attacking other civilizations, and you can get a huge amount of reparations after winning. Dream!

It can be said that the war between the Tylen Empire and the Zerg is completely difficult, and the money lost earns prestige, and no benefits can be obtained, and those who lose money have to buy underwear. Now I know that the Imir want to fall into the well at this time, and if Ishtar is not angry, this is a strange thing.

Angry, Ishtar slapped the sturdy pear blossom wood seat and smashed it directly, and said angrily: "I'm***B!" When fighting the Zerg, not a single soldier is sent to it. Do you still dare to disobey the Empire? Don't you really know how to write the word 'death'?! ”

The adjutant was also taken aback, and rarely saw Estah's anger, although she was not afraid that Ishtar would spread this anger on her. It's just that such a chilling momentum also makes her dare not move. He could only say cautiously: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you dissipate your anger first, it's useless for you to get angry now, we have to think about this matter in the long run!" ”

No matter what the arrogance in his heart is, but when he hears that his adjutant is right, even if he gets angry here, it's useless. Calm down for a moment and suppress the anger in your heart.

At this time, Ishtar spoke again: "How many troops can we mobilize now?" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't draw much." The adjutant was a little helpless, and here was a document: "After a battle with the Zerg, our army suffered great casualties and losses, and many of the troops were wiped out. It is estimated that the entire army will have to be reorganized, and most of them will need to rest. ”

There is no doubt about the strength of the Zerg. This battle not only suffered terrible losses, shaking the foundation of the Tyranid Empire, but also failed to reap a dime of benefits. When the public treasury is empty and the expenditure is exhausted, it is very difficult to restore the national strength.

Of course, Ista knew this best, and sighed helplessly: "What other troops can be mobilized?" And what about the fleet closest to the Imir? ”

The adjutant rummaged through the data, seemed to see something, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "The main fleet and elite fleet of our empire have suffered great losses because of the war with the Zerg, and most of the casualties are extremely heavy. The only thing that can be mobilized now is the Volunteer Corps, and the closest unit to the Ymir Clan should be the fleet belonging to the Duran Clan—"

The Duran fleet? That's right, in the past, the Duran tribe almost didn't have any force. However, with the rapid expansion of the empire, in order to meet the needs of the fleet escort for commercial trade, the Duran clan formed its own fleet.

But when it comes to this fleet, I really don't want to be mentioned. Obviously, they are all equipped with the Tyranid Empire, and the active-level and even more advanced warships, because the Tyranid Empire pushed the invincible period of the universe, and the fleet of the Duran clan also followed the mixed merits. But judging from the current record, it is a miserable result.

The few victories that are rare are still against civilizations that are difficult to fly out of even the planet. And according to the information that Ista knows, these few fruits of victory, the Duran clan are hard-won, at the beginning they all lost countless soldiers, and then had to spend a lot of money to ask the mercenary group of the universe to solve it.

The most vivid memory was when the fleet of the Duran followed the empire on an expedition to attack a civilization that was unwilling to submit. As a result, because of the delay of the Duran people, the imperial army won the battle in the front, and the Duran people suffered a defeat in the back, and they were almost pulled back by this civilization.

From then on, Isha knew that the Duran tribe was really not the material for war, so he was organized into a volunteer corps, and even when he fought the Zerg, even though he knew that the equipment of the Duran tribe was refined, he didn't dare to let the Duran tribe go with him. But seeing the current situation, the imperial army has suffered heavy losses, and it can only make the Duran clan more abundant.

However, here Ishtar is also shrewd: "If you can't get a large army, you will send an interceptor force to intercept and kill the Imir tribe, and gather all civilizations to make it." ”
