Chapter 321: Withdrawal?

Their transport planes were parked on the tarmac on the upper level of the Royal Palace. According to Nova, it was the emperor's private helipad, which was a good signal for them to relax and think about what they were going to say next.

"It's not a good thing for me to be enemies of you, or rather, for me, it's one of my principles to make as few enemies as possible, so I want you to have a good relationship with that person." Nova explained in response to Yang Yi's doubts.

But even so, the guards of the palace are still extremely strict, almost three steps a guard, and they are all the most elite sons of the empire, wearing expensive custom power armor, as well as electromagnetic rifles that can penetrate the armor of thunderbeasts (it can indeed be worn, I remember more than 10 damage points for three attacks, but this is just an exaggeration), and they can feel countless eyes staring at their every move with every step.

Black Rose seemed very uncomfortable with such a gaze, she glared at the guards in annoyance, but she still had to follow Yang Yi and them to continue to move forward.

In addition to these guards, there were a number of civilians who occasionally passed by. Nova said that they were the Emperor's chamberlain, and that it was impossible for Monsk to handle so many reports from the entire empire alone, so he set up this office to help him with government affairs, but he insisted on handling military affairs himself.

For Yang Yi and these strangers, these people seemed to be completely blind, they always passed by them in a hurry, and they didn't seem to pay attention to these strangers who suddenly appeared here.

"There are always too many things in the empire to deal with, I heard that once the people in the waiter's office worked overtime collectively for a month, and a few people who were physically weak were sent directly to the ICU in the moment of relaxation." Nova looked at the people who came and went, her expression seemed to be a little complicated, like admiration, but also like helplessness, "Although the waiter's office is well treated, it is really busy. They were so busy that it was a luxury to even go home, and although there were residences given to them by the Empire in Augustgrad, they seldom went back there, and most of them slept in offices. So much so that he had to open a lounge for them in the palace again. However, this is the price, they are the closest to the emperor, and they are also the core of the empire's power, and few of the empire's tens of billions of people can match their position. ”

"Is the old emperor so relieved?" Yang Yi asked thoughtfully as he walked.

"It's impossible to be completely assured, he doesn't even have his own son, let alone these people who are not in the family?" Nova shook her head, "But he manages an empire, if he really doesn't trust it, then he has to personally manage every detail of these tens of billions of people...... Maybe none of the Celestials have that ability. ”

"Yang Yi, I didn't expect to meet you here." A familiar voice interrupted them, and a man in power armor appeared in front of them at some unknown moment.

Yang Yi followed the voice and looked over, the familiar white power armor and the familiar voice made Yang Yi a little stunned.

"Warfield?"

"Hmm." The power armor's visor and visor were lifted, revealing the old face that seemed to have a hint of a smile on it, "How did you get to the palace?" What, are you going to serve in the army? ”

"Ah, this...... It's just that the emperor wants to see me......" Yang Yi smiled dryly and waved his hand and said, "Then again, shouldn't you be in Char, old general?" Why did you suddenly come to Keha? He quickly changed the subject, not wanting to dwell too much on the matter.

"The Führer instructed us last month to withdraw our troops from Char." At the mention of this matter, Warfield's face seemed to be a lot gloomy, "It's normal that you don't know, the empire doesn't report these things. I was one of the first to be withdrawn, but I didn't want to just give up on the bug nest we had so hard to take, so I've been reporting to the palace these days. Today...... I think it's probably the thirty-second time. ”

"Withdraw?!"

"I've heard about it, too. Although Char is rich in minerals, the resources available for mining there have basically been plundered by bugs, and the remaining mining difficulty is almost impossible, and the value of the entire planet is actually not large, so the empire decided to withdraw its garrison in Char. Nova nodded, but her tone was full of indifference.

"The bugs could come back to Char at any time to regain their strength, and the withdrawal was a completely wrong decision, and we finally ...... it" Warfield's tone was full of unwillingness, and his face twisted with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, you guy who dares to hide in the shadows will never understand." ”

Nova responded with a bored yawn.

"The question is, if the Queen of Blades does come back, aren't you afraid that she will retaliate against you? Nova should know that Kerrigan ran away, but you caught Renault - my former boss - do you really think she's going to be so willing? Yang Yi hurriedly smiled and played a round.

"Then let her come back! If the Empire can defeat her once, it can defeat her a second time! Moreover, her strength has long been deprived of her by the artifact, and with her little swarm, it is impossible to resist the Empire's iron cavalry! ”

At least I believe in your courage...... Yang Yi could only think so in his heart.

"But slogans are slogans, is the empire still withdrawing troops?"

"The withdrawal will probably last another month, but the main army has basically withdrawn, and there is still one army group remaining on Char, responsible for preventing the attack of wild insects, and continuing to dismantle and recover some of the remaining base components, mapping and correcting Charl's map, and they will board the ship and leave after all the tasks are completed."

"But after you evacuate...... Where are you going? Yang Yi asked puzzledly, "The Star Spirit has not appeared for a while, after the Battle of Char, there was no Queen of Blades to infect the colony everywhere, the Star Spirit fleet has basically disappeared without a trace, Yumoyan has fallen into a civil war, and Kailian does not dare to openly rebel against the Empire......"

"I don't know what the Führer thinks, but he should have his own considerations." Warfield also expressed puzzlement, "If you are really angry, you can ask him during the audience." I still have something to do, so I'll go first. After saying that, without waiting for a few people to be polite, he went straight around them and left here.

"Alright, the old days are over, and we are going to see the emperor himself." Nova ignored the departing Warfield, and led them directly to a gate.

The gate was not very extravagant, and could only be seen to be made of a wood that should have been very expensive, trimmed with gold. There are two guards on either side of the gate, and there are cameras and scanners on either side of the top of the gate.

"The emperor has asked me to bring them, open the door." Nova seemed to be very familiar with the two guards, but said in an impatient tone.

The two guards did not answer him. Soon, the scanner on the door emitted an extremely uncomfortable blue scanning light, scanning their entire body. However, this is supposed to be a detection of dangerous goods, and the dangerous items on Black Rose's body were thrown by Yang Yi and Nova long before they got on the transport ship, so there were no other problems here - by the way, the grenade was later found to be a fake, not to mention explosives, and it was not even equipped with a lead, and it was purely used to scare people.

After confirming that everything is correct, the blue light of the scanner disappears. Soon, the heavy door began to slowly open to the sides with a muffled sound. The two guards remained unmoved. Nova turned to look at them, her back to the door.

"Welcome to the spire of the Empire, guys."
