Chapter 495: Unequal Treaties and Confessions
"Your Majesty, we can't agree to these demands, without the army, we can only let them knead it!" One of the officers stood up and shouted excitedly.
"That's right, Your Majesty! We can't join this galactic alliance! They're planning to use the resources we've worked so hard to gather to build their fleet! ”
"And they are going to invade us through culture, and we will not allow it!" Another official also stood up in support.
"Don't make any noise, there's another page behind, let's see what it is." The king slammed the table and shouted.
As the invitation is flipped to the last page, a video appears on the screen.
"Dark Touch first experiment begins, all recording equipment is normal!" A reddish star appears on the video, and the voice of a narrator can be heard on the stereo.
“3、2、1! Dark Touch Launched! As the countdown to the narration ended, a blue light flashed from below the screen towards the star.
At this point, the video begins to fast-forward, and according to the time display in the upper right corner, in just a few hours, the entire star suddenly expands several times in size.
Then, like a broken watermelon, the star suddenly shattered, and a large amount of stellar material was ejected into all directions, accompanied by dazzling light.
Minutes later, the dazzling light engulfed several planets in the star system, which were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
By the end of the video, the light had vanished, leaving the galaxy with countless stellar debris glowing a faint red glow due to the residual warmth.
The entire conference room was silent, except for the video narration coming from the speakers:
"The Dark Touch experiment is complete, the target star has been destroyed, and nothing will survive within two light-years of the energy shockwave as it spreads." As the narration fades, the video pauses on the remnants of red stars all over the place.
"I agree to join the Galactic Alliance." At this time, an officer whispered weakly.
"Me too, and I also agree to join the Galactic Alliance."
"I agree!" Everyone in the conference room expressed their stance one after another, and it was completely impossible to see that they had just expressed their righteous words of refusal.
At this time, only the king was left with a long decision, and all eyes were on the king.
"I... We, the Duchy of Hughes, will officially join the Galactic Alliance from tomorrow! The king seemed to age much older in an instant, and leaned limply on the back of his chair.
"Tomorrow I will personally hand over the reply to the fleet of the Sith Empire, and we will see you tomorrow." The king got up and left the conference room with difficulty.
Everyone knows that once it joins the Galactic Alliance, according to these terms, the Duchy of Hughes will be assimilated by this Sith Empire sooner or later, and the fate of the Duchy will be predictable at that time.
The next day, a team consisting of the king of the Duchy of Hughes and high-ranking officers arrived in a spaceship to the ships that had separated from the Imperial fleet.
This time, it was no longer a soldier who came to greet him, but a man who looked like an officer.
"We, the Duchy of Hughes, agree to join the Galactic Alliance!" The king gritted his teeth and expressed the final decision of the principality to the imperial officials.
"Very well, you Hughes Duchy are wise, unlike the civilization we last met..... Hehe. ”
"You know, the order we received before we set off was to eradicate all civilizations that don't want to join the Alliance, you are very smart." The imperial ** official patted His Majesty the Emperor of the Duchy of Hughes on the shoulder.
As the future suzerainty of these civilizations, the officers of the Sith Empire completely looked down on the leaders of these weak civilizations, and in their opinion, the bulldozing of this civilization was nothing more than a matter of several salvos from which he led the fleet.
The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and when he heard the words of the Sith Emperor's ** official, the officers who came with the king broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and they and the others were on the verge of death!
"After a while, our Sith Empire's guidance team will come to help you, please cooperate with their work, otherwise we don't mind you disappearing into this universe." After waving his hand, the officer turned and walked in the direction of the bridge.
The kings and officers of the Duchy of Hughes sighed and turned away from the Imperial ship.
A month later, several large transports of the Empire arrived in the star field where the Duchy of Hughes was located.
A transit station for a wormhole high-speed corridor has also been built in space next to the star.
After the wormhole high-speed transfer station was activated, countless spaceships poured out of it and flew to the home planet of the Duchy of Hughes not far away.
By this time, the citizens of the Duchy of Hughes had also learned that their country had joined a large alliance across the galaxy.
Today, the Sith Empire's Guides will also arrive in their countries to guide and oversee their process of joining the Galactic Alliance.
The first thing these Sith ships headed for was the military base of the Duchy of Hughes.
All the warships of the Duchy of Hughes were completely transformed into civilian ships under the supervision of the Sith Empire's instructors, removing weapons, heavy armor, military radars, and thrusters.
The other is on the star of the capital of the Duchy of Hughes.
All the armies have been called up, and today is the day they are officially disbanded, with only a small number of the elite going to police posts and most of the soldiers going home unemployed.
In the face of possible rebellions, riots, etc., the empire has also specially prepared consciousness infiltration game consoles for them.
People who are unemployed at home just need to indulge in the unreal world of games every day.
In addition, the biggest change is the high-rise buildings that have risen in the middle of the city.
The Royal Academy of Medicine and the Royal Bank are the most notable of them, the Royal Academy of Medicine was the property of the Sith Empire and provided the technical support for the longevity of this civilization.
The Royal Bank is also held by the Imperial Family, in order to absorb the funds of these people and secretly control the economic lifeblood of this civilization.
Two months later...
Lesplis was just an ordinary company employee, and two months ago, when he knew that his country had joined some galactic alliance and that he was not even allowed to have an army, he was the group of people who opposed it the most.
However, even if he united a large number of patriots and students to march, he would not be able to change the outcome of the Duchy Hughes's entry into the Galactic Alliance.
Originally, he thought that becoming a vassal civilization under the rule of the Sith Empire would make them slaves, but he found out that he was wrong!
The Duchy of Hughes has changed dramatically in the past two months!
