Chapter 148: Behind the Scenes (Part I)
The sudden change in his tone made Hailin and I react knee-jerk, and we both bounced up from the couch at the same time and replied loudly, "Yes!" Got it!! The Leopard King didn't mean to joke at this time, and after seeing our reactions, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, sit down." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The moment I sat down, I suddenly had a premonition in my heart that many things that I had familiar with in the past might be completely subverted in the next moment.
Another very important thing, while turning this thought in my mind, I also noticed another thing, Grandpa Chen suddenly winked at me with his left eye and gave a "well done" expression.
It's so subtle that I can't even fully describe how it came about, but it just comes naturally to the bottom of my mind, as if it had always been there. And I'm sure that its appearance will have a lot to do with everything we are about to hear!
The Leopard King pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth with great seriousness: "Among the several royal family members mentioned by Dean Chen before, a total of eight of them have reached the earl level, and according to the imperial family's practice, all royal family members who can achieve the earl level can automatically become candidates for the imperial heir......
The content of these words is only doubly exciting compared to what Grandpa Chen said before, and I am afraid that I have to use the word "amazing" to describe it, but before he said these contents, I seemed to have a hunch in my heart that what the Leopard King was about to say was related to the throne!!
So, when I actually heard what came out of his mouth, the shock I felt came from the incomprehension of this premonition; Coupled with the weight of the content of the words themselves, there was a faint uneasiness in the depths of my heart that made me a little restless.
Therefore, these eight ancestors all became Emperor Ming, who was still the crown prince at that time, and the hidden contenders for the throne. This was originally an arrangement of the royal family to ensure the absolute strength of the imperial family, and ordinary members of the imperial family could treat this honor very peacefully, and regarded it as a recognition of their own struggle and strength. Speaking of such content, there was a very obvious solemnity in the voice of the Leopard King.
And my heart was "groaning" again, sure enough! Here's the point!!
"It's a pity, just like all ordinary people who suddenly get a huge fortune are often easily carried away by this kind of luck, these eight originally well-qualified royal ancestors have not escaped this trap......"
An extremely tragic picture slowly unfolded in our minds as the leopard king slowly narrated.
The sense of accomplishment brought by absolute power is a temptation that is difficult for any truly powerful person to refuse, and the eight elite members of the royal family, after achieving the strength of the earl level and having the right to inherit the imperial throne, have invariably made the same choice - fight to the death!
It was a very tragic time, although the eight people were born in the royal family, but after nearly a hundred years of interstellar development, most of the fiefdoms they were born in also had good strength, coupled with the relative backwardness of navigation and communication technology at that time, it was difficult to confirm what they did at that time.
The only thing that can be known is that on the day of the death of the first emperor and the succession ceremony of the Ming emperor, eight huge fleets suddenly appeared on the periphery of the Holy Capital System Alert Circle (soon after the Emperor Zheng initiated the interstellar colonization project, he began to build a very large fortification along the Kuiper Belt, the apparent purpose was to defend against the invasion of extrasolar bodies, but in fact the purpose was naturally to defend the expeditionaries).
Needless to say, the alert level of the Imperial Succession Ceremony was not to mention that the commander on duty in the Ring of Caution only gave a routine warning and then gave the order to attack.
His judgment was basically true, and the eight fleets did not respond to his warning, and formed a dense attack formation and fired all kinds of artillery in unison, heading straight for the defensive line.
The fortress cannon that surrounded the entire fortification system began to speak for the first time, and every blow of the huge laser beam could completely destroy at least one battleship, and even some ships received the effect of combos in dense places, and the entire Kuiper belt was illuminated by the firelight of the battleship's explosion almost instantly.
Looking at the battlefield footage from the monitor, the commander felt satisfied. When he was sent to this defensive core base far from the core of power and hung alone in the cold and dark universe, he was deeply disappointed, and felt that it was difficult for him to have the opportunity to return to that prosperous and glorious capital in his lifetime.
What he never expected was that less than three years after coming here, he encountered this battle, and the fierce battle scene transmitted through the monitor brought him a feeling of complacency. He seems to have been able to see the new emperor wearing the Imperial Medal for him soon after......
What he didn't expect was that these intruders were far more resolute than he had imagined.
With the power of the fortress cannon again and again, the wreckage and residual gas of the battleship floating in space continue to increase, and the existence of laser weapons can only be fired in a straight line and is easy to be drawn, and the effect of each shot is getting worse and worse.
What he didn't expect was that these eight fleets all adopted the same tactic, putting the transport ships and supply ships in the fleet in front of them and using them as cannon fodder to bombard the fortress. Until this moment, the battleship that followed behind only kept its shield wide open and rushed forward.
The tragic sacrifice finally paid off, and most of the battleships managed to break within the shortest range of the fortress guns, and the battle entered a state of hand-to-hand combat......
When the Holy Capital was alerted and reinforcements arrived, all that could be seen was the remains of the fortifications and the flames that had not yet been extinguished. After the invaders broke into the Kuiper Belt defensive line, they suddenly broke into pieces and scattered into many small fleets.
Suddenly, the Holy Capital system was filled with a huge number of scattered rebels, and the royal guards who were tasked with defending were a little frenzied and desperate, and the radar system showed that the absolute number of opponents even exceeded them, how could this battle be fought?!! (To be continued.) )
