"Commander-in-Chief, do I have to continue fighting?" In the fortress, Hu Mu asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cameron responded: "No need, I'll wait for the loot to be picked up at the moment, and then retreat, just with their original line of defense as the boundary!" In this way, we still got a part of the territory, which is enough to ask Your Majesty for merit! ”

Millions of enemy reinforcements have arrived at the front line, and it is Tudinan himself commanding, although Cameron is not afraid, but this is not the time for a decisive battle, the empire is still preparing, so some things are better to let go first.

Because of this, the fleets of both sides only tentatively exchanged hands once, and then they each withdrew their troops, and they were just hidden! Intensify the rectification of armaments, not to mention!

Of course, this is just the calm before the storm, and everyone knows that the day when the main army of the Daomang Empire goes south to conquer is the time when the entire southwest star sea is unified! No matter how much the Tiloa Empire tosses, time is running out!

Tianhua Universe Area, Imperial Palace Hall.

"Cameron, they did well! As long as there is a stable stronghold over there, the subsequent military operation will be easier! Ye Qingyuan looked at the battle report sent back from the front line, and said with satisfaction:

"What is the situation on the Rockefeller Empire's side, is there an eyebrow at the moment?"

Li Kai took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to the information sent back by the people we are waiting for, this number one power in the Southwest Star Sea, I'm afraid something big has happened!" ”

"Big deal?" Ye Qingyuan asked with some incomprehension, "Could it be that His Majesty Anderson has already ...... Passed away? ”

"Your Majesty is really discerning!" He smiled and bowed his head softly,

"Yes, old Anderson was dead a few days ago! Moreover, it is said that it was an unnatural death, and the crown princess Annabel and the chief chamberlain Torres are seriously suspected! ”

"Suspicion? I guess it's pretty much certain! Ye Qingyuan's face was faintly mocked, the emperor's family, for the sake of power and interests, any dirty and dirty things may happen, and it is estimated that the current situation in this country is to a large extent!

Zhong Zixia said: "In this way, Prince Arden suddenly withdrew his troops and returned to China, is it also related to this?" ”

Li Yan said: "Of course! He had received an edict from the emperor a few days ago, saying that he was planning to make him the crown prince! Now it seems that it should be a conspiracy between the chief of the chamberlain and Annabel, the purpose of which is to estimate and pick up the prince who was most valued by the old emperor during his lifetime! ”

"I only understand, Prince Arden is not an idiot, he must have discovered something, so he did not return alone, but went on the road with a fleet of more than three million!"

"So, the drama that followed was largely a direct war between the two factions in order to compete for the throne, right?" Ye Qingyuan snorted lightly and coldly, "It's not clear, which side has the last laugh!" ”

Leng Zhuo analyzed:

"For now, the fierce combat effectiveness of the two princes' faction is superior, they not only control nearly fifty percent of the military strength in the empire, but also have extremely deep basic connections in the court! Arden couldn't compare with them in this regard, if it weren't for the fact that he still had more than three million fleets in his hands, he wouldn't even be qualified to be the opponent of the second prince without the protection of the old emperor! ”

Ye Qingyuan pondered for a moment, and said softly: "So, are we trying to find some means to help His Highness Arden!" So that they can play a little more lively, so that's in our best interest, isn't it? ”

"Your Majesty, it's very simple!" Yu Huang Xingyan Road,

"Prince Arden almost saw that something was wrong, but he didn't know absolutely that his father was long gone! If we make all this public, those neutrals and forces loyal to the former emperor in the Rockefeller Empire will have to carefully consider the issue of taking sides! ”

"At this time, as long as Arden raises his arms and exhales, he will definitely pull over a lot of strength, and he will have the qualifications to fight against his own brother! Not to mention defeating the other side and regaining the throne, at least it is still possible to tear the ground and stand on its own! As a result, the Rockefeller Empire was divided into two, and internal friction was endless, and the entire Southwest Star Sea lost the last chance to integrate into one! ”

"At that time, it's the opportunity I've been waiting for!" Ye Qingyuan smiled,

"Southwest Star Sea, the only opponent with some fierce combat power is this Rockefeller Empire! As long as they fall into civil strife, the entire Southwest Star Sea is simply within reach for us and others! ”

"So, what should I do now? Some people say that they should take advantage of this opportunity to immediately organize the army to go on the expedition, so as not to have too many dreams at night, I don't know why you are watching? ”

Yun Tianyun hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for the empire to start in advance at present, it is better to act according to the original plan!" ”

"Oh? Why? Ye Qingyuan asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, if I wait for the current moment to go south in a big way, then anyone with a little intelligence can see that the fate of the Rockefeller Empire in a divided state has long been doomed! If those two factions do not estimate that they will be destroyed by us, they can only temporarily abandon their grudges and join hands with the outside world, at least they must first defeat the foreign enemy, and then they can close the door and fight for their family property with peace of mind! Yun Tianyun analyzed unhurriedly.

"As long as we stand still, wait and see what happens, and even give some help to the weaker side, they will definitely not unite without the threat of foreign enemies for the time being, and they will definitely fight!"

Yu Xinzhe said with a smile: "When the fight lasts for a while, the real fire is played, and both sides suffer heavy losses, I am afraid that the divided state of the empire will also be maintained and become the norm!" At that time, we will send troops as a matter of course, so that we can exchange the minimum price for the ultimate victory! ”

"Yes! That's what I estimated! Ye Qingyuan bowed his head lightly, "However, things won't be so simple!" Everything we have estimated before is based on the absence of powerful variables! So it's not very likely to happen! ”

"When Your Majesty speaks of variables, do you mean the Yanwei race?" Lang Hao said, "If they really decide to intervene forcefully, then the split situation of the Rockefeller Empire will end soon!" ”

The faces of all the ministers became a little solemn, and they all knew about the covenant secretly agreed by the five races, since the Southwest Star Sea was temporarily assigned by them to that group of half-human and half-snake guys, it is estimated that the people of Laiyanwei will never let them continue to split and fight endlessly, and they will definitely support the agents, and then unify as soon as possible!

Then, it is difficult to say whether the battle for the throne of the two princes can be fought!

"Do you think that from the standpoint of the Yanwei people, which side is more likely to support the enthronement?" Ye Qingyuan frowned and asked.

Zi Yuan Lan immediately said: "There is no doubt about it, of course it is the second prince, Prince Weige!" ”

"Why?" Ye Qingyuan asked with a smile.

"It's very simple, this prince has mediocre abilities and a weak personality, so he is relatively easy to control! On the contrary, once the young and heroic and arrogant Prince Arden ascends to the throne, he will do everything possible to get rid of the shackles of the alien race! This is clearly not in their interest! "Aster Blue Chest is authentic.

Liu Xiangyun pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The minister feels that Prince Arden is more likely to ascend the throne!" The reason is that the current second prince has the advantage of fierce combat effectiveness, even if there is no support from another race, the possibility of him winning is very high! Therefore, the support of the other side does not seem to be so important to him......"

"Arden is different, even if he can get in the position. Without the support of connections in the DPRK, his life must not be so easy! In order to sit firmly in the country, he can only try his best to get closer to the Yanwei race, so that the interests of the Yanwei race can be maximized! ”

"Well, there is absolute truth in both views!" Ye Qingyuan pondered for a moment, and finally said:

"So be it first! Since that group of half-human, half-snake guys are going to make a move soon, I don't have to get involved for the time being, wait and see what happens, and wait until I am ready, and then decide whether to send troops according to the changes in the situation! ”

The Rockefeller Empire, the imperial capital.

"You mean, that bastard came back with all the fleet?" In the secret room of the inner courtyard of the palace, Annabel's eyes were full of fire as he stared at the chief chamberlain in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Torres, tremblingly,

"The edict sent to him by Wechen in the name of the former emperor was not unusual, however, it is not clear what caused his vigilance, so he ...... That's it! And on the way back, even the Universe Regional Defense Fleet along the way didn't dare to stop him, and some even joined him directly! ”

Annabel was so angry that she slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground, clenching her teeth and scolding, "This damn bastard! What did he know? If you don't follow the edict and lead the troops back to China without authorization, is it a rebellion? ”

"As it stands, it seems...... That's it! The chief chamberlain said with a pale face, "Therefore, I have to wait to prepare for the battle!" ”

Weig, who was sitting on the side, said with some fear: "This guy Arden has always been very good at fighting, and that Sha Yutian is not a soft persimmon, if you want to pick them up, I'm afraid it's very difficult!" ”

Annabel glared at his man dissatisfied, and said suddenly: "No matter how great he is, he only has more than three million fleets in his hands, and the forces we have at our disposal are much stronger than him, so if we want to fight, are we still afraid that he won't succeed?" ”

"That'...... You have to be famous, right? Wigg beware.

With so many eyes staring at the empire, there is no reason to send troops to war, the target is still his own brother, and without giving a convincing explanation, there is no way to block the mouth of Youyou!

"It's very simple, issue an edict in the name of that old ghost, let him hand over his military power, and go back to the imperial capital to meet his father alone!" Annabel said coldly,

"If he dares not to listen, we will say that he is deliberately plotting rebellion, and then we will mobilize the fleet and do everything we can to encircle and suppress him!"

Wigg sighed softly and didn't say anything.

However, he knew his own eleventh brother's ability, although the strength at hand was far superior to him, but for a while, he really didn't want to estimate how much advantage he would take, unless the other party's brain was in water!

What's even more redundant is that the old emperor has not shown up for several days, which has already aroused the doubts of the court, and if it drags on for two more days, he will not be able to cover it at all!

At that time, how should this faction deal with it?

Annabel's plan was only unexpectedly frustrated! After receiving the "edict", Arden not only ignored it, but accused her of colluding with traitors and imprisoning the emperor, with bad intentions! And call on the whole empire to jointly crusade against the two princes and their faction!

Just when she hadn't yet estimated how to deal with it, another catastrophic news came, and several palace maids who were responsible for taking care of the old emperor's usual life suddenly got rid of the strict surveillance and quietly disappeared!.

Immediately afterwards, rumors began to circulate in the imperial capital that the emperor had been killed and that the murderer was the crown princess and the chief chamberlain Torles!

The frightened second prince tried all his means to cover up the truth, but as time went on, the rumors spread more and more! The Manchu Dynasty, who was already suspicious, couldn't hold it back anymore in an instant, and several respected ministers jointly asked the second prince and the crown princess to come out to explain the truth of the matter, and asked to meet His Majesty the Emperor immediately!

The old emperor has been dead for a long time, how can there be any living people for them to see? As the voices of the government and the opposition became more and more suspicious, Annabel saw that the situation was out of control and had to announce the emperor's death!

Of course, she will definitely not expose herself to the inside story, but just deduce that the emperor is working on state affairs, but there is something about being seriously ill and dying!

However, this attempt to cover up did not calm the situation. On the contrary, the emperor is becoming more and more incomprehensible at home and abroad, thinking that there must be an unknown secret in it!

It was said that the old emperor was recuperating behind closed doors, but later he said that he had died of illness, and it took so many days to announce it, this kind of contradictory and loophole lie could not calm the doubts of the ministers at all! Many courtiers demanded a thorough investigation of the truth of the matter!

Forced to desperation, Annabel and her father, Imperial Prime Minister Connor. After Howight discussed, he used another plan to take down Torles, the chief of the chamberlain, and then announced to the public that it was the eleventh prince Arden who colluded with him to murder the first emperor and forged an edict to usurp the artifact!

However, Arden is not a master who is easy to fool, and immediately refuted the-for-tat refutation of the crown princess and the chief of the chamberlain, killed the first emperor, and concealed the truth of the matter, trying to kill the legitimate heir of the empire together, so as to steal the throne!

The war of words between the two sides was extremely fierce, but the emperor believed that the power of the eleventh prince still had more, at least on the way back to China, Arden dared to really make efforts to intercept his fleet is not much, and with his ability, even if he encounters a few battles, it is easy to win, which causes more fleets to fall to him!

After more than a week's effort, I didn't expect that as many as nearly a hundred administrative heads of the universe regions would announce their support for Arden!

Later, Annoyed and angry, Annabel simply did nothing, gathered his own courtiers, announced that the second prince would immediately ascend the throne as the new emperor of the empire, and the eleventh prince Arden would rebel against the empire, and then bloodily purge a group of officials loyal to the former emperor to deter people's hearts!

Then, she issued an order to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress Arden, and the civil war of the empire officially broke out!

The news circulated, and the whole country was in an uproar! The main army of the Empire, which is attacking the Republic of Black on the front line, has also diverged! Many high-ranking generals loyal to the former emperor stopped their offensive one after another, some watched on the spot, and some openly announced their support for the eleventh prince. Instead, the republic on the verge of collapse has won a precious respite!
