Chapter 886: Return
In February 7,943 of the interstellar calendar, less than ten days before the scheduled battle of unification, all the preparations of the imperial high-level have been completed, all the participating legions have been deployed in place, and the government and the opposition have already begun to discuss the post-war situation and the distribution of interests.
In the end, Ulyanov IV did not agree to cede the Tunguska galaxy, and it seems that he also understood that peace at the cost of ceding territory was simply unreliable!
Since the result is the same, it is better to fight happily, even if it still ends in failure, and finally has not fallen into the glory of the ancestors of the past.
The bloody purge between the Shalestins Alliance and the Republic of Surya is nearing its end, and all the sizable rebel forces have been wiped out, at the cost of hundreds of billions of civilian lives, of course!
With the temperament of the high-ranking members of the Gnaslok Empire, of course, they will not have the patience to carefully screen and investigate all the suspicious rebels one by one, and time does not allow it at all! Therefore, the Imperial Legion adopted the most direct, bloody, and brutal method, as long as there was a place where there was a suspicion that there was a resistance force hiding, it would use the main fleet to cover it indiscriminately! Destroy along with nearby civilian cities!
So, in just a few months, the two former superpowers have suffered even heavier casualties than when they fell to the outside world! More than 1 in 10 civilians have been killed, and the loss of various social wealth has reached a staggering number!
But it is undeniable that such bloody and brutal methods are the most effective, and at least for a long time, it is impossible to give birth to a large-scale resistance force in this territory!
On the eastern front, Tian Xuanhao waved his fist excitedly after reading the order from the imperial capital, and said to Cameron on the side:
"His grandmother's, after holding it for so long, can finally have a good fight! Longmusingo, that old immortal, see that I don't beat him this time, I can't find the north! ”
Cameron said with a smile: "The strength of the Gnarslok Empire is no longer a concern, and its demise is only a matter of time!" However, it is hard to say whether those alien civilizations will have any disgusting tricks for the time being! So we're still careless! ”
"There's the Death Star ship, I don't believe they have the ability to defy the sky!" Tian Xuanhao snorted and said, "I'm really looking forward to it, when our army rushes into their lair in the future, I don't know what kind of wonderful reaction they will have!" ”
"Your Majesty's camp will set off from the imperial capital in ten days, just wait for him to arrive, we can go crazy to our heart's content!"
……
The capital of the Gnaslock Empire, the Skria Field.
The Prime Minister, Duke Brogarenen, was secretly meeting with a group of distinguished guests in his residence.
In addition to the giant of the intelligence system, Tarero, there are also four generals, three ministerial-level high-ranking officials, seven dukes, and nearly half of the top twenty wealthy family heads in the imperial capital have come!
"Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor of the Starlight Empire will launch an all-out offensive in ten days," Duke Brogarenen said as he looked at the people present, "The current situation of the Gneslock Empire is all too clear to all the gentlemen present!" The building will fall, and it will be difficult to support it alone! Since the society can no longer be preserved, then we can only start thinking about the future of our family now! ”
"My opinion has already been made clear to you, and this is the only option we have at the moment, if you don't want to go to the alien race!"
Many of the bigwigs present nodded their heads one after another, saying yes, since the fall of the Gnaslock Empire is a foregone conclusion, they will naturally not watch their families die for the empire! Finding another way out is a given!
Anyway, for these people, it's just a change of country name and a change of monarch's allegiance, as long as the interests of the family can be preserved, they don't have so much psychological burden!
An old man in gold with a big beard asked aloud, "Your Royal Highness, what kind of treatment will His Majesty the Emperor give us after we pass?" If we help his legion get the entire empire, will he be able to fulfill the many conditions promised to us afterwards? Is it possible to do that thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge? ”
This is also the most concerned question of everyone present! After all, although the current Gnaslock Empire is declining, Ulyonov IV still has quite strong strength, even if it can't confront the Starlight Empire, it is enough to suppress the interior.
Therefore, these big men chose to take sides at this time, and they still took a lot of risks, once the matter was revealed, the tyrannical Ulyanov IV would definitely kill them all without hesitation!
Even if the future of the empire is unchangeable, he will be more than happy to do it if he can pull a batch of funeral goods for the royal family before he hits the road!
What's more, the current territory of the Gnaslock Empire is more than nine thousand star fields, accounting for more than one-third of the entire human world, if they pay a lot of money to help the Starlight Empire get such a large territory, but the other party turns their faces and refuses to admit it, then they will be too much of a loss!
Duke Broganen seemed to have expected this question from everyone, and said unhurriedly:
"Your Royal Highness the Duke of Mekkin, His Majesty the Cloud Emperor has already considered this matter, so he has written an edict in advance, roughly determining how much benefit we can obtain after the unification of the human world according to the size of the contribution we have made in the process of the unification war!"
As he spoke, he took out a golden-red edict and handed it to the people to circulate.
This kind of token related to the emperor's order has multiple anti-counterfeiting measures, which is extremely difficult to imitate, and the people present are all people who know the goods, so they can naturally see the authenticity and fakeness.
"Although His Majesty the Emperor is young, he has always been more faithful to the promises he made!" Broganin continued, "General Tarero and I have investigated the history of the Starlight Empire, and we can confirm that the Cloud Emperor has no record of being untrustworthy and turning his face when he gets a benefit! Therefore, I think we can trust him! ”
The crowd was satisfied with his answer, and stopped questioning the question.
Another young blond woman with snowy skin, who looked to be in her thirties, with an elegant temperament and charming charm, asked:
"But even then, it can only ensure that our existing interests are not affected! The court of the Starlight Empire is a new stage and a new ...... for us Battlefield! Can we, the families who once had great influence in the court of the Gnarslok Empire, continue to have the power and influence commensurate with the family's status after the past, this ...... I wonder if His Royal Highness the Duke has any good suggestions? ”
For these big shots, after the security problem is solved, there will naturally be more interest appeals, if they are not forced to do so, no one will be at ease to be an idle nobleman, as long as possible, of course they are still willing to have their own place in the court!
"This ...... What we can do now is to assist His Majesty the Cloud Emperor to bring this territory into the empire at the lowest possible cost! In addition, the stability of the post-war situation, the imperial side also has the help of our power, so we will not completely lose the power in our hands! "Of course, if you want to get closer to Your Majesty, the best way is to marry!" ”
The young woman smiled slightly: "So, when you were in the Tianhua Star Domain, you had already raised this matter with His Majesty the Cloud Emperor, right?" I wonder how this majesty replied? ”
Brogarenen spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly:
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Honorable Duke of Lolilan, since the current internal strife in the Starlight Empire has just ended, the two queens have had accidents, and the position of the middle palace is vacant, so I propose to His Majesty the Cloud Emperor that I want to give him the two most outstanding granddaughters in the family, but unfortunately, Your Majesty is not very reluctant!"
Duke Luo Lilan frowned slightly, and said with some complaint: "You asked for two places at once, this appetite is inevitably too big, of course Your Majesty will be unhappy!" ”
"Maybe!" Tarero interjected, "But I think the reason why Your Majesty hesitates should be because of some customs on our side, which are not liked by Your Majesty!" ”
The big guys couldn't help but suddenly, Duchess Lolilan covered her mouth and chuckled:
"This kind of thing, in fact, is not a big deal! Of course, Your Majesty doesn't like it, so let's not mention it! My daughter is now of the age of marriage, and I was thinking of sending her to the palace, but now it seems that it is better for His Majesty Emperor Yun, hoping to compete for a place! ”
A chubby middle-aged general said with some regret: "Kaxina is the first beauty in the imperial capital, you are willing to give it away like this, it's really ...... It's a pity! ”
Duchess Luo Lilan glared at him: "Who else can you give it if you don't give it to the Cloud Emperor?" You! Don't mention that little thought! Of course, if you are really reluctant, after she gives birth to an heir, you can try it! I hope that His Majesty the Cloud Emperor will not be more lustful than you! ”
There was a burst of tacit laughter. Duchess Lolilan's family is the second most powerful family in the imperial capital, second only to the Prime Minister Duke Broganen, this shrewd and powerful woman has been widowed for many years, and she is the only one under her knees, she is a famous beauty in the imperial capital, and many big nobles are secretly making up their minds, but now it seems that there is no hope, and the court of the Starlight Empire is not as open as the Gnasrock Empire.
The Duchess of Lorilan continued:
"I heard that His Majesty the Cloud Emperor is an extremely rare perfect gene, and his descendants will inevitably be unimaginably excellent, so I wonder if I will be able to meet him in private when the time comes......"
Tareluo said with some surprise: "You want to get a child with the blood of the Cloud Emperor to inherit the family?" I'm afraid that's unlikely, right? Your Majesty may not be willing to agree! ”
The Duchess's meaning is that she hopes to become the secret lover of the Yun Emperor, so that after conception, she can give birth to a genetically good enough heir as the future heir of the family. In the human world, such examples are not uncommon. This is especially true of the open-minded Gnaslok Empire.
The value of the perfect gene is that everyone understands that it is not something that can be measured by the source crystal at all, and in order to get such a bloodline, these bigwigs will not mind paying an unbelievable price! Let their own daughter or even his wife be the emperor's lover, in their opinion, it is not a big deal at all, as long as they can conceive, it will be really profitable!
Mekkin said slowly:
"This kind of thing, we are not the only ones who have ideas in our hearts, even in the Starlight Empire, I'm afraid there are many big people who are making up their minds, right? If you don't try it, how can you know that there is no hope? ”
"That's right, this is a guarantee for the future prosperity of the family, so you have to work hard!" Duchess Lorilan said with a smile.
……
Imperial Palace, looking at the starcloud platform, the blue sky is like washing, and the stars are shining!.
Yun Haoyu was used to coming here every day to be alone for a while, even if he was no longer able to cultivate, he still liked the feeling of bathing in the infinite magnificent starlight.
Just when he was looking at the sky from afar and wandering outside the sky, there was an inexplicable throbbing in the sea of consciousness, which made him sober up instantly.
"What's wrong with you?" His mind asked softly.
"What else could it be? Of course, your Ruolan is back! In the depths of her consciousness, Yun Ruoxuan stretched lazily and said something playfully.
In the inky blue sky in the distance, there were suddenly ripples like water waves, and a few seconds later, the behemoth biochemical mothership broke through the space barrier, and a large storm of space energy appeared in front of him.
