Chapter 857: Scarlet Scepter

The fleet led by Shuang Yan is one of the many special legions secretly formed by Yun Haoyu, all of which are composed of the "Chengying" class warships that were successfully tested and mass-produced not long ago, and the combat performance of a single ship is about twice as strong as that of the "Kun Xuan" class, and it is the latest generation of main warships in the empire's arsenal, which is specially used for difficult tasks such as exterminating alien races and opening up barbarian star fields in the future!

Such a special armed force is in a state of absolute secrecy in a series of affairs, such as fund allocation, equipment procurement, personnel selection and training, actual combat drills, combat readiness cruises, etc., and has no intersection with other departments and institutions of the empire, and even the closest military ministers around the emperor are completely unaware that there is such a secret force in the hands of His Majesty!

They are the most secret and sharp weapons in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, and the only purpose of their existence is to defend the Emperor's throne! To do this, they can point their blades at any target other than His Majesty!

In Yun Haoyu's original plan, such a secret force will be formed at least twenty-four, covering different arms, different fields, different purposes, in addition to the huge scale of the regular fleet, there are also high-level ability legions, independent intelligence systems, secret assassination organizations, open corporate consortia, secret military base groups, and so on!

In the long run, His Majesty the Emperor is determined to build such a force regardless of the cost, of course, not only to insure his own power, but naturally there is a more important purpose, but this is all for the future!

Due to the rush of time, the envisaged powerful war machine that was 100% in the hands of the Emperor himself was far from being built, and so far only four forces had been formed and could be put into use, but it was enough to deal with the current predicament!

This huge fleet has been stationed in a small inaccessible star system near the Tianhua Star Field, and the garrison base is guarded by the most advanced large-scale space derivative mirror array all year round, and there is basically no possibility of leaking secrets!

A burly middle-aged general with a black armor mask on his face bowed his head and was busy on the console for a while, looked up at Shuangyan, and said in a stiff voice:

"Your Highness, what are we going to do now? Need to go on the offensive? ”

Shuangyan said: "Not for the time being!" The size of our fleet is only two million, and our strength does not have a clear advantage, and there will always be many casualties in a rash fight, so now is not the time to intervene, just wait and see what happens! ”

The Admiral nodded, and continued to lower his head and get busy!

……

On September 19, the 7,942nd year of the interstellar calendar, since Yun Haoyu was trapped, the largest armed conflict, or rebellion, finally broke out in the imperial capital!

The many passages and wormholes leading to the outer star fields in the imperial capital, as long as they were still in the hands of the legions of the Feng Lanxi family, were almost all attacked by the rebels on a large scale.

Despite the precautions in advance, due to the numerical superiority of the rebels, in less than six hours, all the attacked wormhole fortresses fell into the hands of the enemy!

Then, a large number of rebel fleets swarmed in from the mouths of the major wormholes, continuously drove into the imperial capital star system, and after reorganization, began to approach the third planet where the imperial palace was located unhurriedly.

"Tengyuan" Palace, in the council hall.

Feng Lanxi looked around, all the senior generals who were still loyal to His Majesty led by Yang Wentao had arrived, and then Jin Yue, Bernard, Meng Xuan and other important ministers of the empire, as well as representatives of aristocratic families led by Yun Tianyun! That's hundreds of people.

Except for Zhong Mingrui's faction, which has long since left, whether it is the queen or Randall's faction, their momentum is much greater than that of them now! Not counting those forces that still held a neutral attitude, the number of aristocratic officials who defected to these two factions had reached about half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

And in terms of the armed forces under their control, Feng Lanxi's faction also does not have an advantage, so now, there are more and more people who are not optimistic about them! This is also one of the important factors for Randall and the Xiao family to dare to join forces and try to completely solve them by force!

But she has no regrets, the Starlight Empire has been able to go from scratch to today, this great wise man can be said to have made great contributions, for His Majesty, for this country that is gradually becoming stronger in her own hands, she has an indescribable and inseparable feeling, she is willing to do everything to protect all that she cherishes, until the last moment!

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Feng Lanxi took a deep breath and said with a calm expression:

"Not long ago, the rebels captured all the wormhole fortresses and star defenses that were still under our control! We're heading to the third planet right now, so we're about to face an unprecedented battle! ”

Most of the people present at the meeting knew about this news, so they didn't seem nervous, only Red asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, since you already know that the rebels are besieging the Wormhole Fortress, why don't we immediately send troops to rescue?" ”

Yang Wentao replied lightly on the side: "It's very simple, the other party just wants us to do this, so that they can gather superior forces, surround the point to send reinforcements, and calculate us well!" ”

There are more than ten wormholes that need to be defended, and the other side is at a disadvantage, if you still want to divide the troops to rescue, the result will only be eaten by the other party one by one, and you don't have to pay much price! Yang Wentao obviously won't be fooled so easily.

"In other words, the other party's purpose is to trap us in the Tianhua star system, and then use superior forces to wipe us out?" Yun Tianyun asked.

Feng Lanxi nodded: "The other party does have such intentions, cut off all our retreats, let us mess with ourselves, so it will be much easier to win!" However, according to the information obtained by Hongu, the AW-0983 wormhole located in the northern airspace is still under the control of our fleet, and has not been attacked, which shows that the other party's calculation is a little more clever than we previously thought! ”

Of course, this will not be forgotten by the rebels, but their main general deliberately left a way out for Feng Lanxi and them, this is the reason for the siege of three queyi. If all the wormholes are really sealed, the royalist forces have no choice but to fight to the death, and then the casualties on the rebel side will be difficult to control!

Bernard asked, "Your Royal Highness, how sure are we that we can repel the incoming rebels this time?" If we are not capable of the enemy, will we have to leave the imperial capital temporarily to avoid its edge? ”

This is a very heavy problem, although the royalist faction's military strength is not superior, the gap with the other party is also limited, and the Xiao family and the Randall faction contain each other, so the situation in the imperial capital is generally stable.

But now, the forces of the two factions, which were originally incompatible, suddenly united together, and broke out and besieged the royalists with all their might, which made it a little difficult for everyone to parry!

If their own fleet can't stop the opponent's attack, then they can only consider withdrawing from the imperial capital, avoiding other places, and accumulating strength in order to make a comeback!

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, once the imperial capital is completely occupied by these two factions, I am afraid that a series of unpredictable negative consequences will occur, and the influence of the royalists will be seriously weakened, and they will no longer be able to participate in the struggle for supreme power.

Feng Lanxi said categorically: "Of course not!" Although the rebels are strong, they will never have the last laugh! As long as Your Majesty can get out of trouble in time, all problems can be solved! ”

Jin Yue asked in surprise and joy: "Could it be that Your Majesty ...... him?"

Yun Yingxue smiled slightly: "The energy of the demon coffin is about to run out, and there will be three more days at most, and it can be opened, and at that time, it will be the time when these traitors will be destroyed!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but burst into cheers, as long as Yun Haoyu could get out of trouble, the current crisis was nothing at all, no matter how strong the rebels were, it was impossible to solve them within three days.

"Now, then, let's prepare to meet the attack of the rebels!" Feng Lanxi said, "Although this battle is difficult, as long as we persist to the end, victory will inevitably belong to us!" At that time, the loyalty and meritorious deeds of the princes will be valued by His Majesty, so as to get the due reward! The glory of the Empire will continue through your efforts......"

"We are willing to shed the last drop of blood to defend Your Majesty and maintain the integrity of the empire!" Yang Wentao stood up and solemnly assured. Immediately afterwards, everyone made a statement to assure that the atmosphere at the scene was heavy and a little tragic!

No matter how optimistic you are, it is an indisputable fact that the rebels are outnumbered, and it is unknown how many of the officers and soldiers loyal to the empire will survive after the end of this battle! But they did not hesitate at all, and for the sake of the belief they have always adhered to, they still made a choice without hesitation!

After the battle order was issued, Yang Wentao took over the military command and began to fully deploy to meet the rebels, except for leaving part of the troops to continue to guard the imperial palace, all the fleets were withdrawn and went to the periphery of the star system.

……

Seventh Planet.

On the surface of the planet, many bustling entertainment venues and commercial centers seem to have fallen into silence at this moment, the streets and alleys are deserted, and the original lively scene of crowds and busy traffic is no longer reproduced.

The war is imminent, the imperial capital is about to change, and at this delicate moment, there are really not many people who dare to continue to go out to have fun!

On the outskirts of a certain city, in an inconspicuous old villa, Zhao Zhixiong is gathering his henchmen in his underground base to give face-to-face lectures.

"Boss, all the settings are in place! As soon as the time comes, you can launch it in full swing! We're ......"

The king of the dark world in the imperial capital sat quietly, listening to the reports of his subordinates with a calm expression, and speaking a few words from time to time.

"Where is their fleet now?" He asked suddenly.

A middle-aged man with a grim face said: "According to the message sent back by our people, the rebels are not moving too fast, and they have only just passed the orbit of the thirteenth planet!" ”

As he spoke, he turned on his light brain and marked the general location of the fleet with a light pen on the stereoscopic projection star map.

Zhao Zhixiong estimated it and said, "Marshal Yang Wentao's army has already set off, and the speed is relatively fast, the location where the two armies meet is probably near the outer orbit of the tenth planet!" ”

"In that case, are we ......," he asked.

"Of course you can, but how you do it depends on how those guys behave at that time!" Zhao Zhixiong sneered, "As long as Yu Xinzhe doesn't participate in the war, this battle will not be as difficult as imagined!" Randall? Xiao Wuji? Hum! The sky of this imperial capital is not so easy to collapse! ”
