Chapter 861: The Scarlet Scepter (5)
The grand, majestic, and unrivaled will quietly enveloped the entire hall, and the palace guards who were still fighting fiercely were all suppressed by this vast will, and involuntarily stopped. And those conjured energy war puppets exploded into a rain of light and annihilated out of thin air.
Feng Lanxi looked up, the dark coffin lid had been opened, and the familiar figure that haunted her stood quietly on the high platform, her deep eyes indifferently looking at the scene in the hall.
"Your Majesty!" She cried out in surprise, tears blurring her eyes.
Hearing the voice of the great wise man, Yun Haoyu's pupils gradually glowed with a touch of brilliance, as if he had only really come to his senses now.
"You...... What's wrong...... I? He asked hesitantly, his voice was a little stiff and dry, he hadn't spoken for months, and the coordination of all parts of his body was so sluggish that it was a little difficult to speak, and the blow just now was just an instinctive reaction when the crisis was approaching.
Looking around, his words gradually flowed: "This is ...... What's going on? Have I been trapped inside for a long time? Like, someone is not good for me...... Fang Mengyan, who hurt you like this? ”
At the door, the eldest princess stumbled in, the light armor on her body had been broken in many places, seeing the figure of Yun Haoyu above, she breathed a sigh of relief, barely showed a smile, and before she could speak, her body fell softly, and Yun Hanyu next to her hurriedly reached out to hug her, and called the palace guards to transfer the medical cabin over.
"Your Majesty, you're out!" Yun Tian sighed, "If it is a few days later, the situation of this empire will not be able to be cleaned up!" ”
Yun Haoyu's face was slightly gloomy, he glanced deeply at the people in the hall, reached out and took out a dark golden bead the size of a pigeon's egg from the Yuan Gu Scepter, and held it in the palm of his hand with a little force, the bead flashed, and an extremely obscure ripple spread out at an almost infinite speed, even the extremely powerful defense system outside the Imperial Palace could not stop its spread!
After a few seconds, bursts of more subtle fluctuations were quickly fed back, and a massive amount of information instantly appeared in the beads.
Immediately, the dark clouds on the young emperor's face became thicker and thicker.
"Yun Tianyun, Feng Guifei, and Xue Liya, a few of you stay, and everyone else goes out to wait!" He commanded calmly.
……
Outside the Tianhua star system, the Crucidian military base. Some of the legions that Yu Xinzhe brought back to the imperial capital were stationed here.
"Your Majesty, haven't you made up your mind yet?"
In the interstellar fortress of the "Tiangang", the marshal looked at Xiao Muhan, who was haggard, and asked with some concern.
She sighed when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "How do you let me decide?" Do you want me to learn from my father and send troops to besiege the imperial palace? So what have I become? ”
"That's not what the minister said," Yu Xinzhe said, "Since Randall and they dare to openly rebel, we can now raise troops to quell the rebellion and reinforce the Imperial Palace!" In any case, they must not be allowed to succeed in their scheme! ”
Xiao Muhan shook his head and suddenly asked, "Yu Qing, do you think it's right for me to do this?" If His Majesty were still here, would he be disappointed in me? ”
"This ......"
"It's okay, but it's okay!" She encouraged the other party.
Yu Xinzhe hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"The minister thinks that the queen's approach may be a bit excessive in normal times, but now the situation is special, for the future stability of the empire and the future stability of His Majesty's foundation will not be coveted by foreign ministers, this kind of precautionary means is completely reasonable!"
Xiao Muhan shook his head lightly: "But they won't think so, what I did was just a despicable act in their eyes to rush to snatch the imperial inheritance!" Now, they probably hate me to death! ”
"But that's not what you intended!" Yu Xinzhe said excitedly, "Although your family has indeed done too much in many places, this has nothing to do with you, if Your Majesty is still here, it will not be unreasonable!" ”
"Reason? If His Majesty had not fallen and really escaped from the predicament, seeing the current situation of the imperial capital, do you think he would still be reasonable? Xiao Muhan said with a lonely expression, "At that time, even if he wanted to be reasonable, he would only use a knife to reason, right?" ”
Yu Xinzhe couldn't help but be silent, the queen's considerations, of course, can't be said to be unreasonable, if His Majesty really falls, it is natural for the princess to take over the throne and inherit the empire, and no one can find anything wrong.
The problem is that the queen's family is too uneasy, and the Xiao family is authoritarian and lawless, and even openly declares that the future of the empire can only be solved by relying on them.
With the queen as a shield, the Xiao family has become more and more unscrupulous in the past few months, and has contacted many forces at home and abroad, waiting for opportunities to plot against them.
Such behavior is no different from rebellion! If Yun Haoyu knew about it, then the Xiao family's clansmen would not be able to survive even a single one! Other crimes are fine, but collusion with foreign enemies is absolutely unforgivable!
She didn't want to turn her back on His Majesty, but she didn't want her people to be hurt either, and these days, she was torn between such a dilemma.
Xiao Wuji asked Yu Xinzhe to send troops to besiege the imperial palace, but the marshal flatly refused, partly because of her instructions.
If Your Majesty can really get out of trouble, this approach may be able to redeem Your Majesty's heart for yourself, and it can also leave the last ray of life for the clansmen, right? She thought uneasily.
At this moment, a biochemical female officer suddenly walked over, saluted and reported: "Your Excellency, there is a message from the Imperial Palace, asking for an instant video call with you, and the communication level is SS+!" ”
"What?"
Yu Xinzhe's heart sank suddenly, SS+ belongs to the highest level in the empire's command sequence, and only His Majesty the Emperor himself has the right to use it, is it true that His Majesty has already gotten out of trouble? Or maybe Randall already has control of the Imperial Palace?
In either case, it was so inconceivable that for a moment he forgot how to answer, and it was not until the female officer said it again that the marshal reacted.
Looking at Xiao Muhan's face, he replied, "Then connect it!" ”
As he spoke, he got up and followed the other party into a top-secret communication compartment not far away.
When the familiar figure that made him in awe appeared in front of him in the three-dimensional image, Yu Xinzhe's feet were weak and he almost fainted.
"Your Majesty, you ...... Is it finally out? Minister...... Maybe ......" he said incoherently.
Yun Haoyu stared at him calmly for a few seconds, and suddenly called: "Yu Xinzhe! ”
"The minister is here!"
He subconsciously responded, and at the same time instinctively stood upright and performed a standard military salute.
A meaningful smile appeared on the emperor's fair face:
"It seems that you haven't completely forgotten your duty! Very good, Queen Xiao and the princess are with you, right? ”
"Yes...... Yes! But ......" Yu Xinzhe was interrupted by the emperor before he finished speaking.
"Within two hours, let them come to the Imperial Palace to see me!" Yun Haoyu's voice was gentle and elegant, but with unquestionable determination:
"Remember, they only have two hours, don't challenge my patience! As for you, since you dare to leave your business and come to the imperial capital, then I will arrange something else for you to do, take your fleet with you, and block all the wormholes leading to the outside world in the imperial capital! From now on, not a single spaceship will be allowed to leave without my decree! Especially the people of the Xiao family! ”
"Your Majesty...... This ......" The marshal's face couldn't help but change, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to express a different opinion.
It's just that when he looked up, he found that His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were as calm as water, but the awe-inspiring coercion that emanated invisibly made this world-famous general with tens of millions of elite legions in his hands involuntarily feel a chill in his heart!
Yun Haoyu's voice was still calm:
"You can choose to obey or you can choose to refuse! You can even leave the imperial capital with the queen now! Don't worry, I'm afraid I don't have any famous generals around me who can threaten you right now, so no matter what you do, you're absolutely safe! ”
"How to choose, you decide!"
Without waiting for him to speak, the video was disconnected, and the three-dimensional projection dimmed until it disappeared.
The marshal didn't know how he got out of the communication compartment, and he didn't even hear what Empress Xiao said when she was walking towards him.
The most feared thing finally happened, His Majesty's order was obviously aimed at the Xiao family! So what should I do? Is it obedience or rejection?
……
In the void near the third planet, the fierce battle between the rebel fleet and the Praetorian Guard is still ongoing.
The number of warships of the Praetorian Legion is only half of that of the other side, but because of the performance advantage, the two sides are evenly matched, and no one can help the other.
"My lord, it's not good, the other party has turned on the powerful jamming facility, and almost all the communication channels of the fleet have been blocked! Combat orders can no longer be given normally! Luce suddenly exclaimed.
"What?" Randall was taken aback, "How could it be blocked?" Pass the order down, immediately turn on all the anti-jamming means on the Star Fortress, I don't believe I can't suppress them! ”
Lu Ce smiled bitterly: "It's already on, but it's useless, the power of the other party's jamming equipment is so strong, almost a whole energy level higher than ours!" With our current means, there is basically no solution! ”
Randall's face turned pale: "This is impossible, such a high-power jamming device can only be placed on the ground, but the surface of the third planet is full of royal forbidden gardens, and it is impossible for military facilities of this scale to exist, what is wrong?" ”
In the void, the originally intractable battle suddenly reversed, and the reaction of the rebel fleet was as if it had been enchanted, and it instantly became cringe, sluggish, and sluggish, and the strict formation collapsed silently!
Unaffected by anything, the Praetorian Guard took the opportunity to counterattack and began to divide and surround the rebel fleet, gathering and annihilating it! After a large number of battleships exploded in the sky, the brilliant fireworks were burst into flames, and in a matter of moments, more than 300,000 warships were destroyed!
Ji Huang's voice sounded faintly: "I know the reason, the source of interference...... From that big guy! ”
Qianqianyu pointed to a certain location on the star map, and Randall looked at it and said unconsciously in confusion:
"You mean the Death Starship? But its main functional modules have now been locked, and it is impossible to unlock it with only first-level control permissions? ”
"First-level permission is not good, so what if it is the ultimate permission?" Her voice was like a terrible ghost from the Nine Hells, terrifying to his bones.
"Nope! This...... It's impossible! He...... How could it be ......" Randall's hands and feet twitched, and his body trembled like chaff!
Distance. In the synchronous orbit of the third planet, the Death Star Ship, which had been in a silent state, suddenly reacted, and the behemoth hull suddenly shone brightly, and as countless dark golden three-dimensional light runes were derived, the pale golden magnetic field on the periphery slowly became thick and solid, as if the sleeping ancient beast finally opened its eyes and regained its earth-shattering power!
On the smooth surface of the outer armor, an area suddenly recessed, revealing a deep shaft with a diameter of three hundred meters, and a little dark golden star flickered faintly in the depths of the shaft, like the eyes of death, indifferently staring at the rebel fleet in the distance.
(There's a lot of things going on these days, so the update is not powerful, everyone bear with me, and let's do it tomorrow!) )
