The capital of the Iserath Empire, the new Kaifeng Star.

When Zagu succeeded in stealing the kingdom, he did not waste money to build a new capital, and directly used the new Kaifeng Star as the capital of Iseras. Although Zagu is very harsh on the people under his rule and rarely cares about their living environment, it has to be said that he is indeed a careful man.

Most of the money collected by the state every year is spent on the army and basic expenses, and it is rare for other empires to use all kinds of extravagant materials to build palace complexes for the so-called "royal face". The current imperial palace group is still built on the basis of the palace area of the former Zhao and Song empires, although it is also extremely beautiful and generous, but compared with the palaces of other countries, it can be called "simple". Even the Marshal's Mansion of Lin Jiaoyang of the Chu and Tang Empires, and even the palaces of the former Hilvanst Kingdom that still remain to this day, are much more luxurious than the palace complexes of Zagu.

Compared to other planets in the Iserath Empire, the New Kaifeng Star is still extremely civilized and modern.

In the past, during the Zhao and Song Empires, Xinkaifeng Star was the most prosperous planet among several countries in this area. When Zagu first rebelled, it was under the banner of democracy, so it did not cause much damage to the planet except for the palace area. After the establishment of the empire, because there are a large number of nobles living on the capital star, and a considerable part of the assets of the entire empire are concentrated, the prosperity of this planet is much higher than before.

Even if it is to get the Chu Tang Empire, it can surpass most of the planets where the star domain governments are located economically.

Today, however, the planet is clearly not as flowery as it once was, but shrouded in a kind of pessimism and chaos. After more than 20 years of rule by Zagu, the people who originally lived on the Xinkaifeng Star have already moved to other planets due to their low incomes and the serious increase in prices in the capital star. Most of the people who can live on the capital star now are nobles or high-ranking officials in the military.

They can all be considered die-hard members of Zagu.

After all, everything about them is based on the rule of Zagu. They are well aware that once this deformed and developed country is wiped out, everything about them will cease to exist. Even, the blood stained during the accumulation of primitive capital will probably have to be pulled out and counted.

These people also knew that once Berwick's fleet defeated Iseras's fleet on the front line, it would definitely come to the capital star.

Of course, most people believe that the number of the country's fleet far exceeds that of the one that was established in less than ten years, and the country has always supported the military and invested a lot of money in the construction of the army, and the combat strength is extremely strong. As long as those stupid Berwicks dare to come, let them know that they are the second military power in the southern universe!

However, some well-informed people have begun to quietly pack up their valuables and quietly walk into the orbital elevator to the spaceport. The people who can get the news from the front line are all the top aristocratic class, these families own private yachts and even warships, as long as they can board the spaceship and leave, the large money kept in the cosmic bank is enough for them to live a rich life in any country.

But......

"My lord, there are more than 200,000 people gathered on the docks of the spaceport, almost all of them are the capital's great nobles and their bodyguards. If it is not allowed to go again, I am afraid that it will cause serious conflicts. ”

Hearing the adjutant's words, sitting on the high platform seat in the middle of the command room, the handsome young man wearing a white shirt smiled faintly: "Well-informed enough, it seems that these nobles have some skills in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, and picking up girls and prostituting children." ”

The adjutant said, "My lord, what now?" ”

The handsome young man glanced at him: "I remember, I have already ordered you before. ”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "My lord, those people are the top nobles of the empire." Including the Larosen family, which controls the 21st fleet, the Bicoco family, which controls one-third of the empire's alloy production, and the Helitang family, which controls one-fourth of the empire's agricultural products......"

"That's enough, I don't need you to remind me."

The handsome young man glared at him: "I repeat, no one is allowed to leave the capital star during the war!" Those who violate the order will be punished for treason, and they will be killed! ”

"Yes...... My lord. Being glanced at by the handsome young man with a murderous gaze, the adjutant couldn't help but swallow his saliva and immediately saluted and left.

"Hmph, a bunch of moths." The handsome young man sneered: "You can leave if you want, but first, you have to leave the banknotes you have exploited over the years to Lao Tzu." ”

According to the regulations of the Cosmic Bank, the state has the right to recover the stolen money deposited by the convict in the Cosmic Bank, but there must be a fair and detailed trial record, preferably with the convict's own acknowledgement. Otherwise, the bank has the right to refuse to release the criminal's deposit on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

It didn't take long for the adjutant to run over: "My lord, there was a serious clash in the port, and dozens of congenital masters attacked the staff of the spaceport and occupied the port berths. The nobles were on board. ”

The handsome young man said nonchalantly: "Has all this been recorded?" ”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help nodding and said, "According to your instructions, use a multi-directional stereo camera system to shoot the spaceport from six hours ago to ensure that nothing is missed." ”

The handsome young man laughed: "Since they dare to disobey the order, it is treason." Send the order to the First Fleet to the spaceport, and if any ships are spotted taking off from the spaceport, destroy them directly! ”

When the ships that left the port were destroyed by the fleet, everyone on the dock involuntarily stopped, and the nobles who had already entered the spaceship immediately ordered to stop starting the spaceship. They were all frightened, and they realized that the young commander was probably not just trying to scare them.

"My lord, there's new news from the front."

The handsome young man said lightly: "That fleet was defeated again?" ”

The adjutant said miserably: "On the central line, the second, third, and ninth fleets of Berwick and the first and second fleets of the rebels, a total of five fleets, have completely annihilated the tenth fleet at the Madermara nebula, and forced the ninth fleet to land, and are heading towards the capital at full speed, and they are expected to arrive here in three hours." ”

"A bunch of trash."

The handsome young man said disdainfully: "What about the northern line? What's going on over there? Oh, by the way, the northern front is the Fifth Fleet of Deborah's, and she should have surrendered. There is also Mitras, the old bedbug, Zhao Song people hate him to the bone. If I'm not mistaken, he must have run away. ”

The adjutant's eyes widened suddenly: "Your Excellency, you are really like a god. On the northern front came the Berwick 6th, 7th and 13th fleets. They galloped down after annihilating our northern defense legions, and the Fourth Mithras Fleet, guarding the Rondell, abandoned its position and disappeared with the top of the Rondell family. Deborah's Fifth Fleet and the Ross family announced their surrender to Berwick. The enemy on the northern front, plus Deborah's fleet, a total of four fleets, was expected to arrive at the capital star in three and a half hours. ”

"What about the southern route? What's going on over there? The handsome young man said lightly: "I remember, that guy Douglas has arranged eleven fleets on the southern front, although he has lost three fleets when he received information last time, and there are still six fleets for Maynlan's idiots who were transferred from the mountain, right?" ”

The adjutant said: "There is no news on the southern front for the time being......"

"Report!" A communications officer walked over and saluted, "Report to Commander, message from Ribel Lancer." Twenty minutes ago, it is suspected that the fourth and fifth fleets of Berwick passed through the wormhole of the Rebel Lancer Star and were moving in the direction of the capital star. ”

The handsome young man couldn't help but pat his head: "Is the enemy too strong, or our people too weak?" Eleven fleets against three fleets, and they actually won for others. Not to mention winning, there are still two fleets left! In other words, it took us eleven fleets to fight out one fleet! ”

When several officers around heard this, they all bowed their heads in shame. But there are also people who don't believe it, no matter what, it's eleven fleets. Eleven to three, even if you crash into them all, you can paralyze the enemy, right?

However, what the communications officer said could not be disbelieved, Ribel Lancer was not far from the AC-T901 nebula where the great battle took place, and there was a wormhole that could reach the southwest of Iseras, which was a very, very important military place, and it was impossible to send false information.

Through that wormhole, it would take you at most five hours to reach the Capital Star.

Counting the previous ones, that is, now there are twelve fleets attacking here!

Are you kidding? Before the start of the war, Berwick had sent only nine fleets, and so far they had destroyed fifteen of their own fleets, as well as two fleets of Eltavier and two of Meenland's fleets. Not only did the number of enemies not decrease, but there were three more!

However, soon there was another piece of news that made them feel extremely desperate.

"Report to the Commander!"

An officer's face turned pale and he hurriedly ran over: "My lord, the Dirol military base has just been destroyed by the enemy. Judging by the intelligence sent by the base commander before his death, at least four or more fleets launched an attack on the Dirol base! Judging by the markings of their hulls...... It should be the fleet of the Chu-Tang Empire. ”

Hearing this news, everyone except the handsome young man was as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt!

The fleet of the Chutang Empire also came? Does this mean that the behemoth of the Chu and Tang Empires has also begun to declare war on us?

And the military base of Dirol...... That base, again, is no more than four hours away from the capital star.

By now, the number of enemy fleets has reached sixteen. And what about us Iseras? In addition to the Royal First Fleet and the Second Fleet, which are anchored outside the Xinkaifeng star system, there is only the Third Fleet led by Marshal Douglas......
