After listening to Wei Feifei tell what happened, Xiao Junling was silent for a long time before shaking his head and sighing:

"This kind of incorruptibility and shame of senior politicians, I can see it today! As the saying goes, people are shameless and invincible in the world! If he could control power just by relying on brazenness, he would already be the first person in the sea of stars now! ”

Yang Yueqi said lightly: "I'm afraid this kind of old thing can't even be regarded as a politician, it can only be regarded as a political hooligan who doesn't even have the most basic moral bottom line!" Expecting a few cries in front of the Supreme Archon to clear his son's name? What a whims! ”

Wei Feifei said helplessly: "Your Highness, the responsibility for the matter is indeed all on Zhuang Biren's side!" It's just his father's style...... His Excellency Wei Zhenhua is also a little embarrassed! It's better than this, the internal wanted warrant of the Imperial security services has been canceled for the time being. In exchange, Zhuang Chenglin must send his son to the front to stand trial! Then discuss the results at the Council of the Great Consuls! ”

Xiao Junling said indifferently: "I don't care about this, all I care about is whether he will lose his head!" That old ghost must be trying to find a way to lobby around for PR in an attempt to save his son's life, right? ”

Wei Feifei smiled: "It's all this time, how many people do you think will stand up and speak for him?" The reason for this is only to take care of the last bit of decency and dignity of him as an archon! ”

"Alright then!" Xiao Junling said:

"Since this is what His Excellency Wei Zhenhua meant, I won't say anything! Let's see how much power and influence that old rascal still has! ”

The two sides talked for a while, and finally agreed that Wei Wei would restore all the rare resources needed. and that the pensions of the fallen were paid in full by the imperial authorities; And Zhuang Biren was handed over to the Imperial Military Court for trial! In exchange. Xiao Junling was not allowed to continue to trouble the dealer before the end of the war. Stability must prevail within the empire!

A day later, Zhuang Biren surrendered under the persuasion of his father, and was immediately escorted to the Northwest Front, where he was immediately tried by a special military court!

Since this is in times of war, everything is about efficiency! Therefore, in just two days, the case has gone through all the legal procedures and reached the final verdict!

During this period, Zhuang Chenglin used almost all the connections he had at hand. One by one, he visited the remaining archons, as well as the leaders of all the forces in the imperial capital, and promised various conditions and benefits, hoping that they could help intercede for their sons!

However, at this time, anyone with a little vision understands that this old man, who has been in the political circles of the empire all his life, has an extremely unoptimistic political future!

offended a character like Xiao Junling, and he didn't have much friendship with the supreme consul, and it could even be said that it was still a hostile relationship before, and the other party would help him to have a ghost!

Especially his former political enemies. At this moment, they all saw the opportunity to make trouble! All the past bad deeds of him and his son were revealed, compiled into a secret report, and sent to Wei Zhenhua.

Even many people think that this is a rare opportunity to have a relationship with Xiao Junling. While pleasing him, he can also destroy this old enemy, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! Therefore, those officials and high-ranking figures of sufficient weight all contacted this young sage in private, and vaguely expressed their intention to form alliances and cooperate and even take refuge.

Not surprisingly, at the final verdict announcement, Marshal Yin Guoxuan, who served as the presiding judge, read out Zhuang Biren's many charges in an indifferent tone, and made a verdict of death and immediate execution!

At this point, the outcome of the trial can only be changed unless it is a collective decision of the Council of Great Consuls, or an amnesty decree signed by the Supreme Consul himself!

In the evening of the same day, Wei Zhenhua presided over a meeting of the great consuls, and Marshal Yin Guoxuan, who was in charge of the trial, once again stated the case information and the reasons for the verdict to the bigwigs attending the meeting in detail, and then Lieutenant General Chen Lijun presented the secret investigation results of the imperial security department, and the facts listed were completely consistent with the information provided by the marshal!

Then the archons expressed their opinions, including the top military and representatives of the national security system, and the vast majority of them believed that Zhuang Biren's crimes should not be forgiven! Even Zheng and Yuanqing, who have always maintained a hardcore alliance with Zhuang Chenglin, remained silent under pressure.

"In that case, let's vote on whether it is necessary to revise the verdict!" Wei Zhenhua finally said.

A few minutes later, the results came out, and the nine archons who had the right to vote, plus the Great Sage and Xiao Junling, had a total of eleven votes, of which nine voted in favor, one voted against, and one abstained!

At this point, there was no longer any suspense, and that night, Zhuang Biren was secretly executed!

…………

In the camp of the Gambinos.

"Dear Brother Tusnazr, what do you think we should do now?" In the main hall, the worried Holy Venerable Hemur asked.

The current situation of the Expeditionary Legion is indeed extremely worrying, and although the assassination of the Supreme Archon of China was successful, the price they paid was obviously much greater! With the fall of four Scepters and the wounding of two Scepters, it is unlikely that they will return to the battlefield, at least for now!

So these days, they haven't made any moves, and the two sides of the front are in a stalemate!

When the war is like this, under normal circumstances, we should consider ending the war and directly withdrawing our troops back home! However, the latest news from the empire itself has made the Holy Venerable Tusnazr in a dilemma!

A few days ago, another messenger ship from the Empire finally arrived at the front with great difficulty, bringing the bad news that there was a legion of civilization cleaners on the Empire's homeland!

Those two terrifying Doomsday Emperors not only managed to kill many Scepter Saint-level powerhouses, but even communicated with the void by unknown means, reopening the spatial passage, causing a large number of elite civilization cleanser legions to suddenly descend!

Caught off guard, the empire itself suffered unimaginably heavy losses! During the Council of the Temple, the remaining Scepter Lords have ordered a state of emergency for the Empire, and have drawn legions from all overseas territories to put out the fires! He even sent a distress message to the expeditionary legion of the Star Sea World!

It's just that how effective such an action can be, only God knows!

Tusnazir Saint Venerable said sullenly: "The matter has come to this, what else can I do?" The only way to do this is to withdraw your troops immediately and wave your troops to support the empire itself! ”

The Elder Venerable, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, said weakly: "But even if we go back, will we be able to turn the situation around?" According to the news brought by the messenger, the strength of those high-ranking individuals in the legion of civilization cleaners is far beyond our imagination! With the current military strength of the Empire, I am afraid that there is not much hope of escaping this catastrophe at all! ”

Several bigwigs couldn't help but be silent.

The strength of the expeditionary legion may still be called strong, but in the face of the vicious civilization cleanser legion, it is really difficult to say whether it can win! This time, the empire is not facing the immature legions of the past, but the real elite forces!

In fact, for them now, the best result is to conquer and occupy the entire Star Sea World, and with the abundant resources here, they will grow into a huge super empire in a few years!

At that time, the native people of the empire may have been destroyed, but after the purge, the territory of the empire will be safer than ever! They can take it over and become the supreme ruler of this super civilization! As long as the legions of civilized cleaners don't come to your door again!

Unfortunately, this is just an idea! Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to continue to defeat and conquer the Star Sea Alliance!

“…… Perhaps, we can continue to negotiate with them and strive for the most favorable outcome for us......" Saint Hemur shook his head in denial.

At this time, how could the coalition forces still negotiate with them?

"Forget it, notify all the clansmen and prepare to withdraw the army, right?" In the end, the Holy Venerable Tusnazr said bitterly.

Although it was very unwilling, it had no choice! After all, the logistical supply reserves of the entire expeditionary corps are limited, and now they can no longer get support from the empire itself, and the local materials cannot fully meet the demand! Once the reserves are exhausted, the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary corps will decline significantly, and the situation will be even more troublesome!

…………

"It's time for the war to end!" At the top of the war fortress, Xiao Junling, who was heavily armed, stared at the boundless sea of stars above his head and said lightly.

Xue Cangyun, who had already been promoted to the rank of archon, said: "Although your strategy is simple and straightforward, you still take a certain risk!" Anyway, victory is in sight, so why should you rush at this time? ”

Xiao Junling shook his head and said, "The Gambino people are not stupid, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them!" If this continues, maybe they will withdraw their troops on their own initiative! ”

"Wouldn't that be better for us?" Marshal Lin Yixiong said.

In his opinion, it is indeed a very desirable result to make the Gambino people retreat without sending more troops!

Xiao Junling said: "That being said! But I always felt that it would be a pity to let them go like this, and that I had to get some more benefits from them, right? ”

Xue Cangyun thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay then!" Be careful, we are here waiting for your good news! ”

A silver light gate several meters high appeared, and in the next second, Xiao Junling disappeared into it with Xichen Qinglan in his arms.

By the time they reappeared, they were already outside the line of defense. The void in front of him rippled, and a pale cyan cloud of light emerged, and a graceful girl was faintly sitting inside! The golden band of pure water swirled around the body, and there were countless light petals looming inside!

"How can you forget about people when there are good things?" The light clouds slowly closed, and the girl in the red dress appeared and said with a smile.

Xiao Junling smiled: "Since you're here, let's go together!" ”

So the three of them teleported together again, and with the help of the cover of the artifact Shadow Heavenly Song, after a few breaths, they had approached the depths of the Gambino people's heavily guarded camp, and the palace of the Scepter Venerable was quietly suspended in the core area of the legion, (to be continued......
