Skria Star Field, Imperial Capital.

On the spacious passage in front of the Imperial Palace, the head of the inner court, Sha Luoke, held a stack of documents in his hand, and walked over with a steady and powerful step as usual.

The first close minister next to His Majesty the Emperor, even a big man like the Prime Minister of the Empire, would not dare to slack off easily, let alone them?

Sharoko nodded slightly, without squinting, and entered the temple without stopping.

There was no light on inside, and the light that was not bright came in through the window, and it was not long before it was swallowed up by the darkness inside, just like the mood of the ruler inside!

The head of the inner court sighed secretly in his heart, Recently, His Majesty's temper has been getting worse and worse! often abused and killed the palace maids for a little mistake, and often spoke ill of the courtiers and the courtiers, and did everything they could insult, which made the people inside and outside the palace panic!

Even an old man like him, who has been waiting for His Majesty for many years, and the most favored and trusted confidant, gradually couldn't figure out His Majesty's heart, and was reprimanded by him more than once!

Of course, he understands the reason for all this. The situation on the front line is becoming more and more unfavorable, since the Starlight Empire's army launched an attack, in less than a week, the painstakingly managed defense line has collapsed as a whole, the Eastern Star Sea Attack Cluster has been wiped out, and a large number of high-ranking generals led by the Imperial General Longmu Singe have been captured, which has seriously hit the morale of the entire Empire.

In the next month or so, a total of more than 2,000 star fields in the former Surya Republic and its surrounding areas have fallen, and nearly three million fleets have either been annihilated or surrendered.

Although Yegor, who is stationed in this vast territory, still has more than 3 million fleets at hand, no one is optimistic about the side of the Gnaslok Empire for the follow-up battle, and it may not be long before this territory will also fall into the hands of the Starlight Empire!

According to the information obtained by the governor of some of his own secret channels, he has learned that many big forces are secretly colluding to secretly discuss the way out of their own family after the collapse of the empire, and there are not a few of them who tend to change their doors and take refuge in the Starlight Empire!

Although he understood this, he couldn't do anything to stop it, let alone report these unconfirmed news to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise, with his tyrannical temperament, he would definitely use the Praetorian Guard to purge on a large scale!

However, the current empire is already in a stormy situation, the undercurrent under the water surface is turbulent, and many nobles are in a wait-and-see state, if the emperor still adopts such violent methods, it will only prompt more forces to make up their minds and move closer to the Starlight Empire! And even more serious consequences, leading to the early collapse of the imperial regime!

In the depths of the dark and empty hall, the huge throne on the high platform still stands quietly, like a fierce beast that cannot be dormant! And the man on the throne hid his body in the shadows, and did not move for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep.

But Sha Luo knew that His Majesty the Emperor would never be able to sleep at this time!

He walked lightly to the foot of the high platform, climbed the stairs, and after a dozen breaths, he stood on the edge of the throne.

I looked at the group of women still standing on either side of the throne, and although they tried to keep their peace, their eyes were full of pain, fear, and despair! The snow-white carcass under the light veil was full of shocking bruises and whip marks, which showed that they had just experienced another nightmare storm!

Even the chief of the inner court, who was accustomed to seeing the blood of the harem, felt a slight trace of unbearability in his heart, and waved his hand lightly, and the group of women bowed down one after another as if they had been amnestied, and then retreated.

It's just that a girl was too excited, and her foot accidentally kicked the bead curtain next to the screen, making a pleasant soft sound.

Suddenly, the demon king-like figure on the throne suddenly shook, trembling nervously for a moment, and then a tyrannical roar sounded like thunder:

"What's going on? Which damn ** came out? You dog minions who should be killed, I haven't died yet, are you thinking about rebelling? Believe it or not, I'm going to cut you all right now? ”

The poor women were so frightened that they lay on the ground and shivered!

Sha Luoke sighed, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is back!" ”

Ulionov IV was already on the verge of an outbreak, and when he saw that it was him, he reluctantly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, snorted heavily, sat up straight, and asked stiffly: "What's the matter?" ”

The chief steward put the document in his hand on the bookcase on the side, then picked up the top one, presented it to him, and said, "Your Majesty, there has been a response from the Miliam Empire!" ”

The emperor's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What do they say, and how much support can they give us at present?" ”

Sharoko smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Since their emperor is still asleep, the few big people in the Senate have deliberated and decided that with the current situation, it is no longer possible to stop the Xinghui Empire's troops! So, they can't help us! Of course, in the past Covenants, they granted the Imperial Family's request for refuge, but only if we surrendered all the wealth in the treasury to them! ”

Ulyanov IV suddenly burst into a rage and scolded:

"These damn red-skinned lizards, such a ridiculous and shameless request, they can actually say it! How much benefit the empire has given them before, they are not satisfied! These filthy, disgusting, insatiable aliens, mongrels! Even now, I'm still thinking about taking advantage of the fire, and one day, I'm going to skin and cramp all these bastards......"

Sharoko's face remained unchanged, and he let the angry master vent for a while before reminding in his usual low voice:

"Your Majesty! The Miliam people's demands are indeed excessive, but the battle situation on the front line is unfavorable, and the Starlight Empire's offensive is urgent, and there is not much time left for us! How to decide, please ask Your Majesty to take the idea! ”

Ulionov IV gradually calmed down from his rage, gasped heavily, and his eyes emitted a faint green light, like a wolf king who chooses people to devour!

"We still have some time!" He said calmly, "That guy Yegor can hold Yun Haoyu for at least two months, so that the empire itself will have more than three million fleets!" Coupled with the troops left behind in the imperial capital, with a few natural hazards, we can still compete with them! ”

"Even if we can't win, we have enough time to retreat! We can't agree to the demands of those red-skinned lizards! Give them at most 20% of their wealth, and they can be regarded as worthy of them! ”

"If they don't say yes, it's nothing! Once the Gnasrock Empire is finished, the Miriam clan will not be left alone! With Yun Haoyu's temperament, I don't believe he will let those red-skinned lizards go! ”

Sharoko bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!" The old minister knows! ”

"What's going on in the imperial capital lately?" Ulyanov IV then asked, "Are there any restless fellows down there?" ”

The chief manager hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's generally calm, but because the battle situation on the front line is unfavorable, the government and the opposition are very uneasy!" In the face of the Starlight Empire's intensive offensive, they all expected His Majesty to make a strong counterattack as soon as possible! ”

Hearing this, the emperor sneered: "Among them, maybe someone is already looking for another way out, right?" This group of ungrateful things, who used to favor them in vain, are all thinking of betraying the interests of the empire in exchange for glory and wealth? ”

"You tell that guy Tarero to pay attention lately, it's better to catch a few of them and make an example! And you too, inside and outside the palace, all the people who may defect, you have to keep an eye on me! ”

"Yes, Lao Chen understands!"

When Sha Luoke walked out of the palace gate, he felt that the shadow in his heart was even thicker!

When the Miriam clan decided to abandon their allies, he knew that the future of the empire had lost its last ray, and that the day of complete destruction would not be more than half a year away, no matter what, it was certain!

Once the Starlight Empire's army invades the empire itself, it is really hard to say how many of those families who are on the sidelines will turn against each other and join the opposing camp!

By the time the Death Star ships arrive in the Imperial Capital, how many loyal forces will be left around His Majesty the Emperor?

When that day comes, where do you go from here?

……

The Ruiloga Star Field, the former capital of the Shalestins Alliance.

The capital planet, Yegor has been staying in his luxurious villa for pleasure recently, and it was only after learning that the secret envoy of the Starlight Empire had come to visit, he got serious, cleaned up, and met the envoy in the secret room.

"Your Excellency Marshal, contemptible Ling Zikun, this time, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of my family, I have come to discuss with you about surrendering to you!" Come-to-make said politely.

Yegor was slightly unhappy in his heart, but at this time he couldn't say anything, there was a superpower standing behind the other party, and tens of millions of legions were eyeing the border, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the other party.

"I already know your intentions!" Yegor snorted, "This was originally agreed in advance, and it stands to reason that there should be no more twists and turns!" However, since the lower family is not ready, and not everyone in my legion is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this ......"

Ling Zikun's face sank slightly, and he said with some displeasure: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Aren't you going to keep your agreement with us? The Empire's army is ready to go, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for an answer, and if you decide to break your promise, don't regret it! ”

Yegor's face changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency has misunderstood! Zai Xia didn't mean to break the contract, but he led the army to surrender without firing a shot, and it was not easy to explain to all aspects! In addition, there are quite a few generals who don't listen to orders very much, so what I mean below is, can we borrow the hands of the Imperial Legion to get rid of them first? ”
