Chapter 593: A Game Outside the Battlefield
Yunshuo Star Field.
In the void near the capital of the Star Domain, the remnants of the Tiroa fleet, which had retreated all the way, hastily set up a rudimentary defensive line at the entrance of the wormhole leading to this place, and then the upper echelons of the Empire held an emergency meeting to discuss the next course of action.
Inside the "Golden Lion" fortress, the haggard face of Emperor Philosis leaned on the throne tiredly, looking at the civil and military ministers under the jade steps with an expressionless face.
This place is already close to the Ximeng Star Abyss, and there are less than a hundred star fields still under the control of the Imperial Fleet! The Starlight fleet behind is still in hot pursuit! As long as there are two more battles, the remnants of the Tyloa Legion will have to give up all their territory and interests here in order to survive, and they will be disgracefully expelled from the Prison Soul Star Sea!
At present, the most optimistic estimate is that the other party will stop in Ximeng Xingyuan. In this way, the more than 100 star fields on the other side of the Xingyuan can still be mastered by the empire, which can be regarded as the only harvest of the empire since several years of conquest! Anyway, I can have an explanation for the country!
However, if His Majesty the Starlight Empire doesn't plan to stop, then there's a good chance that he'll come in one go! Even close to the mainland of the Tiroa Empire!
At that time, will the Empire, which has been greatly damaged, be able to stop the Tiger and Wolf Army on the opposite side? Emperor Pherosis really has no bottom in his heart!
"Your Majesty need not worry! Reinforcements from the Rockefeller Empire are already on the way! The Imperial Prime Minister said, "In about fifteen days at most, the fleet led by Prince Arden will arrive at the Ximeng Abyss!" With the help of this new force, the Starlight Empire will definitely be able to block the Xinghui Empire within the Ximeng Xingyuan Heavenly Danger, and if you are lucky, you can even fight back! ”
"Moreover, both the Yilong Empire and the Gnaslock Empire have already responded positively, they have promised to put pressure on the Starlight Empire, and that Yun Haoyu will have to take into account their attitude if he does not intend to face the dilemma of being attacked on his back!"
"That's all?" The Great Emperor said dejectedly, "It doesn't seem that this is enough to completely curb the ambitions of the Starlight Empire, right?" What can we do if the other party resists the pressure and insists on going its own way? ”
The Imperial Prime Minister continued: "Your Majesty! These alone are not enough to make the other party stop, but the top management of the Yuanshuo organization has also made a decision that they will send another batch of reinforcements to help the empire tide over the difficulties! At the same time, he is willing to act as an intermediary and mediate the war between the two countries! ”
"Mediation?" The Great Emperor sneered when he heard this, "Then how many imperial interests do you have to sacrifice?" to be able to feed that greedy Yun Haoyu child! ”
Foreign Minister Yu Bin spoke: "Your Majesty, the Starlight Empire has obtained the entire Prison Soul Star Sea, and with their military strength here, it is already a bit reluctant to completely control such a large territory!" If you continue to expand despite reality, it will be a thankless effort! I believe that His Majesty Yun Haoyu will not fail to see this! Therefore, negotiations should be feasible! ”
"As long as the other party is willing to sit down at the negotiating table, then everything is easy to say!" The prime minister added, "At present, the most important thing for us is time, and the strength of the empire is not much inferior to the other side!" It's just that the early campaign consumed too much of our strength! As long as we can buy a certain amount of time to recover, and when the time is ripe in the future, we will not be able to lose the shame of today! ”
The ministers echoed each other, and Emperor Philosis weighed it for a while, and finally said, "Then so be it!" As long as the other party is willing to talk, then talk to them! ”
Having said that, the Emperor knew in his heart that even if everything turned out to develop in an idealized direction, the empire probably would not have a chance to make a comeback and compete for hegemony in the Star Sea!
Judging by the current situation, perhaps in another year or two, the number of large countries in the human world will be reduced to three or five! If you want to continue to see the figure of the Tiloa Empire here, the hope is already very slim!
Unexpectedly, when he was dying, he encountered the crisis of destroying the country and extinction! Now it's only one step at a time!
At this time, the shadow of the fourth prince Orofei suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and an idea quietly grew in his heart: he is old after all, and many things are really beyond his strength, maybe it is a good idea to let the young man take over this burden!
It's just that this also involves the balance and game of many forces, and it will not be easy to straighten out all kinds of interests one by one! At least, the top management of the Yuanshuo organization may not be willing to agree!
It's all about the long term! I hope I can survive this crisis! ——
On the other side of the Star Sea World, the Shalestins Alliance, the Fog Domain.
The main army of the Gnaslok Empire, which has advanced here, has just experienced a large-scale battle, and is currently taking a short break!
In the palace of the "Ice Emperor", Ulyanov IV looked through the report submitted by the intelligence services with a gloomy face.
"This Starlight Empire, is it really that powerful?" He stared at Tarero coldly, and asked in an unkind tone:
"It's only been a few months, and I've actually driven back the fleet of the Tiroa Empire!"
Tarero replied helplessly: "Yes, Your Majesty! Ever since they had killed His Royal Highness the Duke of Aubrey by despicable means, in defiance of diplomatic conventions, the ministers had sent more men to lurk there, waiting for an opportunity! ”
"But for now, the Starlight Empire is in full swing, and the strength of their intelligence system should not be underestimated, so although some small and medium-sized forces over there are not very willing to be co-opted, they don't dare to make a move at this time! So our people can only continue to endure! ”
"That means that the thousands of star fields in the Prison Soul Star Sea are really going to fall into the control of that Yun Haoyu?" Ulionov IV stared at him fiercely.
"Your Majesty! Judging from the current situation, it should be ...... That is true! Tarero shuddered.
"Bang!"
The heavy Yuhua crystal book case was smashed out of a deep pit!
"Philosis, this son of a bitch, thought he still had some ability, but it turned out to be a waste! I can't even clean up a hairy boy! Ulionov IV scolded through gritted teeth.
Marshal Lomonov, who was old and serious, thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if the Prison Soul Star Sea is really acquired by the Starlight Empire, it will not be of any benefit to us, no matter what, we have to think of a way to prevent this situation from happening!" ”
"What can be done?" Yegor said lukewarmly, "Now is a critical moment, our main military forces are trapped here, and we can't mobilize much strength to take care of things over there!" ”
Tarero hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Maybe you can find a way to let the Shang clan make a move!" As long as they can come forward to put pressure on the Starlight Empire, it is best to simply kill His Majesty Yun Haoyu! Things are so much easier! ”
Ulyanov IV's eyes lit up, and he was very moved, the rise of the Starlight Empire has only been a few years, and the royal family is scarce, once this matter is successful, this empire will most likely fall apart! The threat to oneself will naturally disappear invisibly!
At that time, looking at the entire sea of stars, there would never be a big country that could pose a sufficient threat to itself! Unifying the Star Sea World will be a matter of course!
"This solution might work! But there is the Bojiang Empire behind the other party, if they intervene, things will not be so simple! Maybe it will still be useless when the time comes! Admiral Susnov said.
Ulionov IV pondered for a while, but said:
"Let's try it! I'm going to talk to the envoy of the Shang clan, whether it can succeed or not, at least I can remind that Yun Haoyu that there are some things that are better not to be too unscrupulous! And it can also be used to find out how close the relationship between the Bojiang Empire and him is, and whether it already intends to support him unreservedly! Such a decision is reasonable, and all the ministers passed it without objection! ——
In the spatial fault, a huge ten-wheeled carriage is galloping.
The luxurious and beautiful car body, the top is covered by a golden canopy with a radius of 100 meters, the exquisite Yingluo tassels hang down layer by layer, and the carriage is surrounded by several magnificent and unparalleled multicolored halos, and pieces of golden petals are condensed out of thin air, circling and flying around the car body for a while, and then silently decomposing into golden light mist and integrating into the body!
The wide body of the car is engraved with countless huge unknown and beautiful floral patterns, and the layers of petals are slowly expanding and contracting along some mysterious law!
Strips of magnificent multicolored light bands flowed around the body, and the violent space flowed to a distance of 100 meters near the body, and was blocked by the light bands that seemed to be supple to the extreme, and they couldn't take half a step forward!
Inside the carriage, a gorgeous hall with a radius of several hundred meters was opened up with clever space technology, and hundreds of powerful breaths filled the entire hall.
On the tall throne in the center, Princess Qi sat on it, looking at a three-dimensional star map in front of her, silent in thought.
Above is a schematic diagram of the distribution of power in the entire human world. The countries and forces that were once as high as five figures have now shrunk to about one percent, and they are still decreasing!
"I don't know how many countries will be left on this star map in a year or two!" She muttered to herself.
At this time, a maid beside her stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the business of our trip has been completed, do you want to return to the empire now?" ”
"No hurry!" She raised her wrist, and the light and shadow on the star map changed, and when it was frozen again, it had been replaced by an unfamiliar starry sky.
"The negotiations with the Yanwei people have come to an end, and next, we have to go to the Zhanying Royal Court to exchange views on the future situation in the Star Sea!" She said with a slight smile.
The maid was her confidant, and she also knew a lot of secrets, and she said with some confusion when she heard this: "I don't know what happened to that group of volleyballs, more than two years ago, the entire royal court was temporarily closed under the order of King Zhanying!" All the powerful people who belong to the royal court are all closed, and they don't know what important plans they are planning! ”
"Will we be able to achieve the desired goal this time?"
"Well! It's man-made, whether there is hope or not, you have to try to know the result, right? Princess Qi smiled, "What's more, the things we brought this time should be able to arouse their interest enough!" ”
