On September 19, 7,938 in the interstellar calendar, the most important economic and administrative center in the western part of the Yunmeng Galaxy of the Shuofeng Empire, the province of Harros was attacked by the Xinghui Empire's army, and the emperor personally led the Praetorian Guard Legion to battle, plus the former imperial military god Gurlons came forward to surrender, causing a large number of Shuofeng fleets to mutiniate on the spot, and in less than a day, the Shuofeng Imperial Legion was defeated!

The commander of the garrison, General Bridgeto, was killed in battle, and Governor Jiang Mingyan saw the opportunity quickly and ran out with a group of cronies! It just happened to collide with the main fleet of the Empire that came to reinforce it.

After Zhu Xinlong learned about the progress of the Starlight Fleet, he immediately panicked, and the little ambition that had just emerged was instantly thrown out of the clouds!

Despite having a fleet of millions on hand, the total strength is not inferior to that of the Starlight Empire. But he knew in his heart that if he really didn't care about rushing over, the end would not necessarily be much better than that unlucky guy of Bridgetto!

The Starlight fleet is winning one after another, and it has just won a big victory, and its morale is at its peak! On the other hand, on their own side, although because of the blockade of news, ordinary officers and soldiers do not know the battle situation in front, but once the battle starts, the other party will definitely use this to persuade them to surrender, plus a group of former imperial generals led by Gurungs, even if there are only two or three percent of the fleet against the water, they are all finished!

Although Zhu Zhaoyuan carried out a large-scale purge of the imperial military and deposed many high-ranking generals, she couldn't find enough suitable candidates to control these millions of fleets for her! So in the later period, she had to take gentle measures, and resumed the position of some generals, promising to buy people's hearts with all kinds of benefits, and inserting a large number of children surnamed Zhu into the fleet!

Among the more than 3 million fleets under the command of this Minister of War, and among the more than 100 Alien Legions, among the senior generals above the commander of the Legion, the children surnamed Zhu account for as much as sixty percent, as for whether these guys have the ability to match their positions, it is unknown!

The remaining part of the generals, as well as the majority of middle-level commanders, many of them are from the disciples of those former imperial generals, if there is really a war, the Starlight Empire only needs to repeat the old tricks, and the outcome of the war does not need to be known without even thinking about it!

Of course, the main responsibility for this kind of thing is still Zhu Zhaoyuan, if it weren't for her bloody purge, coupled with all kinds of perverse actions, which made countless officers and soldiers chill, even if Gurungs came forward, it would be impossible for them to surrender easily!

Although Zhu Xinlong said that he was timid and afraid, he still had some brains, and understood that in this situation, his fleet really did not have much chance of winning, and if he was defeated, the Shuofeng Empire would not be able to organize a fleet of the same size again for at least a month! The consequences of this are undoubtedly catastrophic!

So he chose to retreat, and left the territory of the Harros Province with a fleet of millions of troops, and retreated to the nearby Goshuli Province, separated from the Starlight fleet by more than twenty star fields! Then on the one hand, he stepped up the construction of the defense line, and on the other hand, he truthfully reported the battle situation on the front line to the imperial capital, and asked Zhu Zhaoyuan to take an idea-

The capital of Harros Province, Dynes, is a thriving planet with a population of more than 200 million.

In the luxurious office on the top floor of the spaceport, the Earl of Luton stood quietly by the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the busy, strange and familiar warships in the distance, with a complicated expression.

The huge "Tengyuan" palace slowly settled in the planetary synchronous orbit, and the huge volume with a diameter of 200 kilometers made it clear on the ground! It is like a mountain weighing heavily on the hearts of the people of the 200 million empire, especially those who are high and powerful, who have really felt the huge pressure of this new empire!

It's not that there is no force that has considered extending an olive branch to the young emperor at the right time, if he can prove that he has enough strength! Because Zhu Zhaoyuan of the imperial capital is not a qualified person in power, she does not seem to have shown the ability of a superior person in other aspects except killing!

Therefore, these family forces, who were forced to temporarily surrender to that woman, began to secretly look for other ways out! For example, the six great families whose ambitions have been revealed!

It's just that some time ago, the family alliance suffered a big defeat at the hands of that emperor's fleet, and the whole army was wiped out! To the great disappointment of these forces! It also made the Starlight Empire really enter their field of vision, and many people were secretly pondering the possibility of moving closer to the Starlight Empire.

However, before they could put it into action, the young emperor showed his sword to the Shuofeng Empire, and since the war began for more than a month, the dazzling speed of the Starlight fleet's march, as well as the extremely bad performance of the Shuofeng Empire's military, made many consortiums and forces dumbfounded, and their glasses were shattered!

At the moment, many forces have made up their minds and have begun to try to contact the top of the empire, to probe the emperor's attitude in a tactful way, and see if a win-win cooperation can be reached. After all, with their help, His Majesty the Emperor's path to the Shuofeng Empire will be much smoother, and they will also exchange it for enough lucrative benefits!

However, when the Harros Province, the core town in the western part of the Yunmeng Galaxy, was taken by the Starlight Fleet in less than a day, even the forces that were least optimistic about the Starlight Empire couldn't sit still! They rushed over to express their allegiance, and prepared a rich greeting gift, asking to meet His Majesty.

I heard that the other fleet of the Starlight Empire is already marching towards the Solomon Province in the east, if it can also win smoothly, then the entire Yunmeng Galaxy will be included in the empire's territory, and they will naturally become subjects of the empire.

"Your Excellency, there have been orders from there, and you can go to see Your Majesty in an hour!" His butler hurried in from outside, saluted, and bowed.

The Earl's expression was relieved, and he asked, "Have those people been notified?" Is it together? ”

"Not really!" The butler shook his head and said, "Except for us, all the forces related to the six great families, their representatives have all been detained, and His Majesty the Emperor's Guards Legion has been dispatched, depending on the situation, they are going to attack them!" ”

"That's it!" The earl smiled slightly, "Those big families just fought with him, and now it's strange that they can show them a good face!" But it's none of our business, don't worry about him! ”

The butler nodded, and said, "Your Excellency, our gift to His Majesty the Emperor has been prepared, do you want to take a look at it first?" ”

"Okay, take me to see it!" The Earl did not dare to be careless about this matter, and was immediately led by his butler to a well-guarded secret room.

The heavy nanmu long case is covered with bright yellow precious brocade, hundreds of different sizes, elegant and simple shapes, and well-crafted boxes are placed on it one by one, which is the gift prepared by the Earl of Luton for His Majesty the Emperor.

Due to the rush of time, it was difficult to find suitable tribute, and the count had to ask the butler to open the family's treasures, which had not been used for many years, and carefully selected hundreds of rare treasures from them.

The butler opened all the chests one by one, and let the Count look through them one by one, and discussed them from time to time.

It didn't take long for all the items to be checked, and the count was quite satisfied with the butler's vision. At least this batch of tributes is well arranged.

"Alright, put it all away!" He commanded.

The butler took out a space bracelet, collected the boxes one by one, and then put the bracelet on his wrist, leading the Count to a luxuriously furnished small circular living room outside.

Twenty beautiful girls of about sixteen or seventeen years of age, with blond hair and snowy skin, and picturesque eyebrows, were chatting together in a low voice, and when they saw the Count come in, they hurriedly got up and saluted!

These are the best goods that the butler has collected from all over the world according to his instructions, and two of them are the women of the family, and even the second daughter of the earl is among them, all of which are ready to be given to His Majesty the Emperor! The cost of collecting these women is even higher than the value of those treasures!

In the province of Harros, the earl's family influence is indeed not small, with a long history and strong strength, but in the entire empire, it is nothing! With his identity, he is not qualified to marry the royal family, so he can only send his daughter to the palace as an errand in this way, if he is lucky, he can make His Majesty the Emperor take a fancy and get favored, there will be unexpected benefits for the family!

The Count examined them and admonished them for a while, and then went out with the butler, boarded the ship and waited outside the palace, while the women followed in another spaceship.

In the entire Harros Province, as well as the surrounding star fields, all the large and small families and consortium forces that are large enough to meet the emperor are carefully prepared.

In the palace, Yun Haoyu was discussing with his ministers the next strategy plan of the Imperial Legion.

"Your Majesty, after more than a month of long-range high-speed raids, the Imperial Fleet already needs to suspend the offensive and take a good rest!" Gurlons Road.

Yun Haoyu said: "Rest is the right thing to do, but Zhu Xinlong's fleet is squatting a thousand light years away, let's not take advantage of the current morale to solve it, after a while, I'm afraid that his strength will get stronger and stronger, and I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome to clean up at that time!" ”

Feng Lanxi said: "Having said that, after many days of high-intensity combat in our fleet, many warships have already had more or less problems, and they must be repaired and maintained on a large scale, otherwise it will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the fleet!" ”

"And now that the Harros Province is under our control, as long as this place is not lost, the general trend of the entire Yunmeng Galaxy will be dominated by us, and it will be difficult for the Shuofeng Empire to play a role! Our expected strategic goals have been achieved, so we should recharge our energy and prepare for the next trend! ”

"As for that Zhu Xinlong, he doesn't have the courage to start a war with us now, even if we march, he will only choose to retreat, so let him live for a while longer!"

"That's the same thing!" Yun Haoyu nodded, and asked again, "How is the progress of the East Road Legion?" ”

Su Shangqing said: "Cameron's fleet has arrived at the Black River Star Domain, and the progress is quite smooth, but there is still a distance from Solomon Province, even if it is not blocked, it will take at least four days to arrive!" ”

"The defense force over there is also strong, and I'm afraid that I will only have to fight hard before I can take this crucial eastern hub!"

Even if the Solomon Province is successfully conquered, the actual territory occupied by the Starlight Empire is only half of the Yunmeng Galaxy, and at least two hundred star fields still belong to the Shuofeng Empire, but as long as these two most important hub towns in the galaxy are in their hands, they can take advantage of the situation to sweep the remaining star fields, and those star fields that are not dangerous to defend will not be able to resist the general trend at all!

Yun Haoyu pondered for a moment, and finally agreed.

After the meeting, Shuang Yan came in to inform the representatives of the local major family forces about the request for an audience, he looked at Feng Lanxi and asked, "What do you think should be done?" ”

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's see you!" In the future, the stability and prosperity of this star field will also have a place where they can be used, and it is time to appease them now! ”

"Okay!"
