"Golden Lion" in the palace. Emperor Philosis looked at the battlefield situation on the light screen, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

A group of civil and military officials stood at the foot of the jade steps, all with their heads lowered, and they didn't dare to come out!

"After consuming so much power, even that group of remnants has gone up, can't it still stop the Starlight Empire on the other side?" The Emperor's dull voice echoed in their ears, since a few years ago, the Imperial army attacked the Hellsoul Star Sea! I thought I would soon be able to take down this scattered starry sky! I never thought that the resistance of these indigenous forces would be so fierce! Labor and salary, loss of soldiers, and even ask foreign races to help! to break the ice!

The war has dragged on until now, and the empire has finally taken more than 700 star fields, and has forced the alliance side to the point of exhaustion, as long as it holds on for a while, it can be done!

However, since the intervention of the Starlight Empire, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, the empire's army has lost one after another, the attack and defense have been replaced, and the good situation has come to naught in more than a month!

Of course, they didn't think that the strength of the Tiloa Empire was necessarily inferior to the new enemy on the other side! The main reason is that in the past few years since the war, the power of the empire has been consumed too much, and all kinds of special weapons and high-level abilities have lost a lot! These high-end combat forces cannot be mass-produced like ordinary warships and all kinds of military supplies, and you can have as many as you want! That's why the Starlight Empire picked up the cheap!

Today's battle not only exhausted the empire's remaining high-end forces, but also lost the elite forces of those remnants! Today's empire has no way to stop the enemy on the opposite side from approaching step by step!

"How to retreat from the enemy, do you have an idea?" The Emperor stared coldly at his group of important ministers, and asked in an unkind tone.

The ministers were silent, and no one dared to speak at this time!

Tudinan raised his head slightly, and when he saw the emperor's gaze looking at him, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he said boldly: "Your Majesty, now that the empire has lost its chance, it will be useless to fight again!" It's better to withdraw the troops for the time being, retreat to the front line of the Cannora Star Field, and reorganize the armament and wait for the opportunity to counterattack! ”

"Retirement?" The emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and his cold voice was filled with a faint murderous intent:

"Tudinan, as an important minister of the Imperial military, I rely on the most famous general! Faced with such a situation, I thought that you would be able to come up with a way to turn the tide of the battle, but I never thought that you would actually come up with such an idea for me! ”

Now that he had opened his mouth, the marshal knew that he had reached a critical juncture, so he no longer feared it, gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty! The Starlight Empire is powerful, and we have lost too much power! If you want to save the battle, you can only avoid its edge for the time being, and wait for it to start all over again in the future! In order to ensure that you have a greater grasp of turning defeat into victory! ”

The Prime Minister of the Empire looked at his colleagues, and after some hesitation, he finally decided to speak out to help him break the siege: "Your Majesty! Our army has been fighting a fierce battle with the alliance for a long time, and has not been able to get enough time to recuperate, and the whole army has long been exhausted. But the Starlight Empire is waiting for work, so it is defeated today!

I beg your Majesty, for the sake of the future of the empire and for the sake of your majesty's great cause, it is better to retreat! At present, only by temporarily forbearance can we find an opportunity and be ashamed of today! ”

The Emperor glanced at him indifferently, lowered his head and gently stroked the scepter in his hand, without saying a word.

With the wisdom and depth of this majesty, you will not be unable to see the current situation clearly! He's just not reconciled! Today's Star Sea is in turmoil, and the major powers are going all out to compete for the hegemony of the future Star Sea World, although he is dying, he is not willing to do nothing, and let his foundation become a stepping stone for other countries!

Given the geographical location of the Tiloa Empire, there are only so many expansion options to choose from! In addition to the adjacent Prison Soul Star Sea to the east, there are more than a dozen small and medium-sized countries in the north, and then there is the Shuofeng Empire; In addition to a few insignificant small forces in the west, there is a vast and dangerous and inaccessible wild star field; Not far to the south is the sphere of influence of the Rockefeller Empire!

As people get older, their thinking will inevitably become conservative, and they will lose the momentum and vitality of many young people! If you fight to the death with a certain big country from the beginning, the result is likely to be thankless, and it will not lead to anything for several years! This is by no means an outcome that the Emperor would like to see!

Therefore, the Eastern Crusade Prison Soul Star Sea has become the most suitable and only choice for the Tiloa Empire!

As long as this vast resource star field, which is equivalent to several large countries, is included in the empire's territory, the empire's national strength can be increased by one or two steps, and it occupies the hinterland of the human world, which is equivalent to completely opening up the situation! From now on, the combination of vertical and horizontal, long-distance and close attack, can completely ensure that the empire can advance and retreat freely, and stand in an invincible position!

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel! Although the Hellsoul Star Sea is a plate of scattered sand, it is not completely powerless to resist! Relying on natural dangers in the early stage, and secretly aiding and containing the big powers on the other side of the star sea in the later stage, the empire spent several years of precious time here in vain, but it failed to get what it wanted!

Just when the two sides were exhausted, the Starlight Empire came! That hateful Yun Haoyu kid dared to come!

The alliance, which had been exhausted, was unable to compete, and simply attached itself to the other party neatly! And his own self, who is also weak, has not been able to stop the other party's ambition with all his means!

The ministers proposed to retreat, and he also understood that only by retreating could he preserve the remaining strength! Prepare for a comeback in the future!

Just this retreat is equivalent to losing the dozens of star fields that have just been taken down to the Starlight Empire again! And there is no guarantee that they will be content and let the Tiroa Empire regain its strength!

He dared to conclude that the Starlight Empire would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, at least if the empire was driven back to the Ximeng Xingyuan Heavenly Danger!

After years of hard work, unimaginable manpower and material resources were consumed, but in the end nothing was achieved! It's just plain to make a wedding dress for someone else!

As for Yun Haoyu after getting the Prison Soul Star Sea, where will he point the sword in his hand next, and whether he will continue to attack the Tiroa Empire, which has been greatly injured, it is unknown!

If you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game!

This is providence! The Emperor thought bitterly in his heart.

Seeing that on the light screen, the decline of his own side is becoming more and more obvious! The Great Emperor took a deep breath, finally nodded slowly, and said softly: "Then according to the will of the emperor, retreat!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the emperor seemed to have aged for decades in an instant! On the originally fierce and majestic face, the fine wrinkles have faintly increased a lot!

The thick scepter in his hand slammed heavily against the floor tiles, making a dull thud of tapping! The thin and shriveled fingers were so pale that there was no blood on the knuckles because of excessive force!

He held on to his scepter and struggled to his feet. The Imperial Empress Shirya, who was sitting beside him and had never spoken, saw him like this, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold him! He was led towards the entrance to the inner sanctum, behind the throne.

Under the eyes of the civil and military ministers, the emperor staggered to the door, turned around again, and said thoughtlessly: "This world, after all, still favors young people!" ”

Without looking back, he entered the inner hall surrounded by many palace maids-

"Your Majesty, the Tiloa fleet has begun to retreat!" In the void, Hu Mu rushed over and said.

In fact, he didn't say it, everyone present could also see that in the dark void in the distance, the camp of the Tiloa Imperial fleet had begun to loosen, and a large number of warships retreated like a tide towards the wormhole hundreds of light-seconds away in the rear.

Of course, as a legion of a superpower, that level is not blown! Even in the retreat under such an extremely unfavorable situation, hundreds of thousands of warships were still left to cover alternately, and after taking turns, the entire retreat process was orderly and did not appear disordered at all!

When Fu Chengxiang saw this scene, he frowned unconsciously, and said with a little headache: "It seems that if you want to take back these more than 700 star fields and bring this empire back to Ximeng Xingyuan to stay, you have to fight a few battles!" ”

Yun Haoyu sighed: "After all, they are an old superpower!" If it weren't for the fact that it has been fighting with the alliance for the past few years and the losses are too great, how could it be so unbearable? If this were the case, it would have been destroyed long ago, would it still be our turn? ”

"That's right!" The generals watched the opposing fleet gradually move away, and they all stopped pursuing the victory and giving the other party a greater lesson! After all, the other party's army is not in turmoil, if they are forced to launch a ruthless attack, their side will also suffer some losses! If an old superpower like this wants to swallow it in one bite, it is simply wishful thinking! It's better to let the other party leave first and consolidate the existing results!

Of course, after this fiasco, the high-end combat power of the Tyroa Empire has been lost, and it will not be able to recover at all in the short term! Therefore, the Starlight Empire is stepping by step, gradually expelling the power and influence of this enemy country from the Prison Soul Star Sea, and there is no suspense!

"Command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then send out a fleet to accept all the territories abandoned by the Tiroas one by one!" Yun Haoyu put away his spear and said.

Seeing the corpse of a "ruin" not far away, still tightly wrapped in a thick black robe, he really couldn't suppress his curiosity, and with a slight wave of his hand, several guards immediately rushed over and dragged the unlucky dead ghost over!

After the black robe was torn open, everyone gasped!

The appearance of that guy is really terrifying: the head of the whole body barely looks like a human head, but he can't see the facial features that look like a human being; The body is a bit like a dark and thin tree trunk, with more than a dozen "branches" of different thicknesses attached to it, or arms, palms or something!

There are still a lot of things similar to tattoos on the shriveled body, and I don't know why this race has such a clever tattoo technique!

However, now that they're all history, there's nothing to worry about anymore! This time, let's just recuperate after we go back!
