Chapter 546: A Changing Human Heart
Elven Prince Jayne felt like he had been tricked. Originally, in his opinion, he did not do anything wrong in leading his troops out to meet the Federation's army, after all, as long as the two sides did not exchange fire in the end, it was to welcome rather than fight. The Elves are now in a period of transition, and he needs to show his toughness and means, and he must not back down because his opponent is the Awakened. But the result of the matter was beyond his expectations, first the Federation army easily saw through the back hands they had prepared, those hidden starry sky beasts, and then Yun Wangyuan directly moved the butcher knife to test his intentions. What made him feel even more chilling was that the "warriors" on his side actually retreated without a fight at this time, and directly placed the future "Elf King" in front of the enemy's gun!
It was only at this time that Jayne understood that the previous peaceful situation in the Elven Free Territory was an illusion, and it was just a plan led by the major magnates. What are they waiting for, Jayne has also come to his senses at this time. And at this time, he couldn't help but be a little worried, was Lilian, who had lost her trace, really missing?
It was only when his heart was going up and down that an order from the Star Tree Continent completely broke his heart defense. YANING. In her name, the Holy Star actually sent an order to the elven fleet, allowing Jayne to welcome the awakened as the elven prince and lead the Federation's army to the Star Tree Continent. A chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and Jayne's originally powerful self-confidence turned into fear at this moment - the person who gave this order was really Yaning. Holy Star?
One big reason Jayne dared to stage a coup d'Γ©tat after the Elven King's death was because of his other sister Yaning. Shengxing supports her, and says that she will give up her status as the second heir. This is the real reason why the Elven Liberty Lords have been stable since Lillian's disappearance. YANING. Saint Star openly announced that she had renounced her status as heir in front of the World Tree, causing most of her supporters to defect to Jayne's sect, showing her loyalty with her actions, so Jayne had great faith in this sister.
The elves take their oaths very seriously, especially the vows made in front of the World Tree, and Jayne doesn't believe that Yaning will break them. Who, then, will benefit from the removal of himself? The answer popped up almost instantly. From Yaning's point of view, there is actually no difference between Lillian and Jayne, on the contrary, the benefits of flattering both sides are greater, which not only completes the love of sister and brother but also wins a good reputation. So I didn't understand everything at once! Why can't I find Lilian's whereabouts? Why do the elders with unclear intentions remain silent? Why do you surrender like you are destined to be? It turned out that they were all waiting for themselves at this moment.
It's a pity that at this time, he is already in the middle of the situation, with the army of the Federation in front of him, and the elven ship group has no will to fight. Jayne had no doubt that if he continued to maintain such a tough stance, he was afraid that one or two warships would suddenly jump out of his army and shoot a few shots at his flagship. In desperation, he chose to compromise and ordered the army to lead the way in front and welcome the Federation ships to the Star Tree Continent.
Seeing the elves retreating, the warriors on the Federation side suddenly cheered, as if they had won a battle. At this time, the spaceships that participated in the battle also quickly packed up the spoils of victory, dragging one giant beast after another back into their own formation. As for the Flying Fish 45, the harvest is very good, dragging the corpses of two giant beasts, which is quite eye-catching among the Flying Fish ship group.
After a long time, the Federation fleet descended on the Star Tree Continent with the elven ship group. Looking at the towering giant tree, everyone couldn't help but feel their insignificance, and there was a trace of awe for the giant tree in front of them. At the request of the Awakened Division, the Federation's warships were stationed in two bases not far from each other. The two flagships of the Awakened went to the royal city of the elves and waited for the succession ceremony of the elves.
As soon as they landed, the warriors of each ship began to get busy, and began to dispose of the corpses of the giant beasts they had hunted. This is a very troublesome job, because the body of the giant beast is so large, and it is necessary to be very aware of the body structure of the giant beast in order to handle it properly. Otherwise, cutting the wrong blood vessel or tissue may affect the value of a certain organ of the giant beast. So before dealing with it, the officers had to carefully scan the body of the giant beast and draw the design drawings to facilitate the work of their subordinates.
If you want to deal with the body of a giant beast, you can't rely on human hands. Chenping had to call on all the mechs and small ships in the spaceship to act as a butcher with these high-level weapons. And when they heard this order, the soldiers were extremely excited, and even the deputy captain Lian Duofu was eager to try, as if it was the first time to do such a thing.
The corpses of the two giant beasts could not be kept busy by the manpower of the Flying Fish 45 alone, so Hu Chenping asked someone to send a giant beast to the two transport ships in his fleet to curry favor with his commander. The fleet commander on the transport ship was originally a little dissatisfied with Chenping's behavior of asserting such an assertiveness, but after seeing the giant beast sent over, he couldn't bear to itch his hands, and finally just scolded a few words. However, this kind of work of dealing with giant beast corpses, most of the soldiers are the first time, and the scene is not only extremely bloody, but also clumsy one by one, and they are scolded by the officer in charge of commanding. As for those soldiers who didn't gain because of the order, they watched from the sidelines, their eyes showing envy and excitement, and they couldn't wait to drive the mecha to let these guys in front of them take a good look at their craftsmanship!
Chenping is so generous, in addition to currying favor with Shangguan, the more important thing is that although these two giant beasts are the harvest of Flying Fish 45, it is impossible for them to leave all the harvest, and they must hand over most of it. Anyway, it's not a thing, Chenping is naturally happy to be a favor and curry favor with his superiors. After all, his promotion is already guilty, and Chenping is really unwilling to erect more enemies.
"Captain, Your Excellency Yun has ordered you to go to the flagship!" Just as Chenping was watching the bloody scene in front of him with great interest, Fu Qingyan walked up to his side and reported in a low voice.
"Alas, got it!" Chenping sighed helplessly, he knew that the teacher was asking him to go to the Elven King's Palace together, so he handed over the command of the spaceship to Lian Duofu and prepared to leave alone. It's just at this time that suddenly a group of big men rushed over from the crowd, shouting to find trouble with Flying Fish 45.
Chenping didn't even need to look to know that it must be the fighters of Exocet 48 who were looking for trouble, but he ignored them and flew directly towards the flagship. First, this kind of thing can't let him, the captain, come forward, and secondly, this is the home field of his own side, and the personnel of the battleship are several times that of the other party, if this can be lost, then the soldiers of Flying Fish 45 really have to reflect on it!
The royal city of the elves is located on the first horizontal branch of the main trunk of the interstellar giant tree in the center of the star tree, and from a distance, it looks like a small tree house on the giant tree, which is very delicate and interesting. But as soon as the ship gets closer, you'll find that it's actually a huge city. Even a super battleship like the God Eater instantly turned into an ordinary dinghy in front of the palace!
The elven prince Jayne returned to the royal city before the warship of the Awoken, and returning to the royal city at this time seemed to him to be a self-defeating one. But in the end, he returns, facing a fate that he doesn't know. Because he is unwilling, the throne that he has been planning for many years is given up to others like this, and he has not figured out who the real opponent is until now? It's just that when he returned to the garden in front of the palace, he saw his sister Yaning. The Saint Star stood there alone, calmly looking down at the Star King City and the Star Tree Continent below.
I don't know why, at this moment, I saw Yaning. Saint Star, Jayne's mind suddenly remembered someone. That was his grandmother, the Elven Saint King of the Awakened. Although he never really met his grandmother, she was undoubtedly a hero in Jayne's heart since he was a child, and she has always been the object of his imitation and learning.
"Among the sisters, Yaning is the one who is most like a grandmother!" Lillian used to say that.
"Is it really her?" At this time, a trace of coldness flashed in Jayne's heart, and for the first time, he became wary of Sister Wang in front of him.
"Sister Wang hasn't come back, and I've sworn by me, so you can rest assured that no one is competing with you for the throne!" Before Jayne could speak, Yaning turned around and looked at the younger brother with a helpless face: "But your guess is not bad, most nobles are indeed still hesitating about your succession!" β
"Why did Sister Wang give the order? I'm the Elven King, you're not! Hearing Yaning's words, the anger in Jayne's heart finally exploded.
"Otherwise, how are you going to go, are you really going to fight the Awoken?" Yaning was a little stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that you didn't want to break with the Federation, did you regret it when someone saw through your tricks?" Or do you think I'm tipping off the Awoken and exposing the whereabouts of those behemoths! β
ββ¦β¦β
"You're still so smart!" A hint of disdain flashed on Yaning's face, and she said calmly: "Sister Wang and I have spent half a lifetime getting the nobles and ministers to trust us. And you, use your cleverness to make them wary and wary of you! Do you think that their turning their backs on you in battle was really the result of my arrangement? β
"Please Sister Wang speak clearly!" Jayne said with a grimace.
"Don't forget! It is impossible for me to succeed to the throne, and it is impossible for them to be loyal to me. Yaning turned around at this time, walked to the railing, looked at the royal city below, and said lightly: "And you should also be sober, they are loyal to you not only because you are the elven king, but also because you have enough courage to make them surrender willingly." Judging from today's incident, there are not many people around you who are truly trustworthy. Now I really wonder, did you really plan the riots that day? β
"Sister Wang!" Being accused so bluntly was the first time in months that Jayne was reminded of the unhappy times of the past, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"The ministers are waiting for you, to be your elven king, let me see your mind and courage!" Yaning didn't seem to feel Jayne's killing intent, but gently waved his hand to let him go.
"Thank you, Sister Wang!" Hearing that Yaning had no intention of rebelling, Jayne immediately restrained the killing intent in his heart. Although this sister Wang hates it, now is not the time to deal with her. But those ministers have to beat it hard, otherwise they don't know what demon moths will come out next time!
"Your Highness, you shouldn't have stimulated him like this!" After Jayne left, a small figure appeared in front of Yaning.
"He will most likely become the king of the elven clan in the future, if he doesn't even have this strength, then I think I'm wrong about him!" Yaning said indifferently: "How is Sister Wang's preparations?" β
"Everything is ready!" The elf said, "Now just bring Chenping to the World Tree, and then the awakening can officially begin!" β
"Are you sure Chenping will help us?" Yaning asked a little worriedly.
"As long as I speak, he can't refuse!" The elf confidently said, "Although he may break up with me afterwards!" Hehehe......"
"You've made a good friend!" Yaning shook his head with a smile and said, "Then let's start as soon as possible, I will help you drag them on the Awakened side, so that they will not be aware of Chenping's disappearance." β
"Good!" After the elf finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
Almost at the same time, two flagships of the Awoken appeared above the royal city and slowly descended. Yaning looked up at the two giant ships, and a trace of emotion flashed in his heart. Grandmother's eyes were really vicious, in just a few hundred years, nearly ten awakened people have appeared in human beings one after another, and this race seems to be born for the star stripes!
"Remember, the Federation was founded because we chose humanity. Whether it is the New Human Empire or the humans of the Federation, they are all very important pawns of our elven race. So no matter what happens, we can't break with both at the same time β got it? More than ten years ago, what my father said to their sisters and brothers here is still in my ears, and Yaning can't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart at this time. Is it true that the heritage of the elven race is stronger than the two major forces of the human race?
