As soon as the news of the Empire's troop increase came out, the entire planet of Cape Race was boiling.

Because of the tyranny of El III, there are not many people who support Jean throughout the planet.

It's just that El III is in control of the Imperial Legion that the rest of the Capes dare not resist.

The Free City-State was the last voice on the planet of Cape to oppose the tyranny of El III, and the timid Capaces naturally hoped for victory for the Free City-State.

But the Capaces also knew in their hearts that with all the Imperial armies dispatched, the free city-states would never be able to win.

"Hey! Unexpectedly, even the last voice of resistance against El III would stop. ”

"The free city-state has been bulldozed, and I am afraid that there will be no more voices against El III on this planet."

"No, we can't watch the last city-state being bulldozed, we have to go to their aid."

"Don't look at the jokes, that's a million Imperial Legions, how powerful weapons they have, even if we go to support the free city-states, it's just going to die."

"Do we have to continue to live under the tyranny of El III?"

Countless Cape people began to discuss the 'big move' of the Empire.

Unbeknownst to them, however, a mysterious team was quietly leaving the Free City-State and heading in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

This team is the Shenwu Legion, and the leader is Su Han.

After Su Han and Catherina finished their discussion, Su Han quietly called back the members of the Shenwu Legion.

Use the map given by Catherina to quietly approach the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the empire's million-strong army was fully mobilized.

The whole empire was in a state of 'air defense'.

This is the best time to act.

Because they were afraid of arousing the suspicion of El III, Su Han and the others deliberately dressed up before going out.

At this time, Su Han and the others were wearing clothes on the Cape Planet.

If you don't look closely, it's really hard to tell that they come from other civilizations.

Reminded by Catherina, Su Han did not walk the main road this time, but walked through a large dense forest and slowly approached the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace is the symbol of the El Empire.

If nothing else, El III would not normally leave the Imperial Palace

When he traveled to a barren area, the map that Catherina gave him before Su Han left.

Through observation, Su Han found that they were now less than a thousand kilometers away from the Imperial Palace.

At this distance, if Su Han advanced with all his might, with the help of the Shenwu Mecha, it would only take half a day.

But at this time, the empire's million-strong army was still on its way.

If this time, kill yourself to the Imperial Palace.

Once the Imperial Army received the news, it was quite possible to turn back.

Although the Shenwu mecha is powerful, it can't let every member of the Shenwu Legion defeat ten thousand.

Therefore, Su Han decided to slow down for the time being, and wait until the Imperial army was at war with the free city-states before raiding the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Free City-State!

Catherina, who stood on the city wall, had a sad face.

At Catherina's side, there is also an old subordinate 'Monis' who has been following her father.

Monis noticed that Catherina glanced into the distance from time to time, and finally couldn't help but persuade aloud: "Miss Catherina, do we really have to believe in that group of outsiders and choose to fight to the death with the imperial army?" ”

Catherina turned around, glanced at Monis, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Monis, do we have any other choice now?" ”

"The Imperial Army is pressed in, unless we abandon the free city-state, but the result of this is that we will all live in hiding."

Catherina didn't know how stupid it was to choose to go against the million-strong army of the Empire.

But Catherine was not willing to give up.

After all, his father was dissatisfied with the tyranny of El III and died in that war.

Monis glanced at Catherina and lowered her head: "Miss Catherina, do you remember the key that your father gave you before he died?" ”

Catherina was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Remember, it is the only relic of my father, and I have always kept it well." ”

Monis hesitated for a long time, and finally told the secret in his heart: "Miss Catherina, your father wanted to rebel against El III a long time ago, so he specially collected a lot of rare materials and buried them in a certain palace, he hoped to use these rare materials to exchange more advanced weapons with other civilizations, but what he didn't expect was that before all the plans were implemented, El III discovered your father's plan, and the key was used to open the palace." ”

"What did you say?"

When Catherina heard this secret, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Why don't I know these things all along? ”

Monis smiled bitterly and patiently explained: "Originally, I wanted to wait until I encountered a more advanced civilization to tell you, because only in this way will the rare materials in that palace give full play to its value. ”

Catherina took a deep breath, tried to calm her mood, and asked with a serious face: "Uncle Monis, you tell me this secret now, could it be that you want to ......"

"That's right, I want you to abandon that group of outsiders and seek a higher level of civilizational cooperation." At this time, Monis's eyes revealed endless coldness: "In my opinion, the planetary level of those outsiders is not very high, otherwise they would not have adopted such a tactic." ”

"Now, we can completely abandon the free city-state and wait for other advanced civilizations, as long as we have higher-level weapons, we can make a comeback without taking such a big risk."

At this moment, Catherina fell completely silent.

I have to admit that Monis's proposal is very tempting,

After preserving your strength and getting the help of a higher civilization, you have a chance to make a comeback.

However, in doing so, Su Han's plan would directly declare it a failure.

Not only that, but there is also a high chance that the other party will be in danger.

After all, the Empire's million-strong legions are not vegetarians either.

Once encircled and suppressed, even the members of the powerful Shenwu Legion will be damaged.

Monis looked at Catherina's face with a look of struggle, and couldn't help but open her mouth to persuade her: "Miss Catherina, let's get to know those outsiders for a few more days, why risk your life because of one of their plans." ”

"That's the most elite unit of the Empire, and we have no room to resist at all."

I don't know how long it took, but Catherina let out a heavy sigh: "Uncle Monis, I know that what you said is not wrong, but I can't do it. ”

Facing Monis's puzzled eyes, Catherina explained with a wry smile: "You haven't been in contact with Su Han, you don't know that guy's temper, if our retreat causes his Shenwu Legion to be damaged, then that guy will definitely retaliate against us crazily." ”

"That guy's revenge is far more terrible than the Imperial Army!"
