Chapter 80: It's up to you to make the choice
Sulphur fell silent, he didn't know how to answer.
"In such a short period of time, it is impossible for Xia Su to control the Star Guard, and the initiative is still in our hands."
Xia Lian said calmly, and then walked out of the spaceship.
As soon as he stepped out, a metal frisbee flew at his feet in the distance, leading him out of the stop and into the streets of CitΓ© Soleil.
And Mithril followed him.
They were heading straight for the summer palace, the seat of the Supreme Council, and the streets were deserted, apparently imposing a ban.
When they were about to fly to the summer palace, Xia Lian stopped the frisbee, and at the end of the street, some soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor, with floating cannons, and armed with guns flew out of the surrounding streets and buildings, and aimed their guns at Xia Lian.
Xia Lian stood calmly on the disc, quietly looking at the man who was guarded behind him by these soldiers, his figure was very burly, one meter ninety-one, wearing an imperial military uniform, very spirited.
He was also standing on a flying machine, looking at Xia Lian with dead eyes.
He is the Xia Sulfur in the mouth of Sulfur, and according to the kinship, he should be regarded as the son of Xia Lian's grandfather's younger brother.
Xia Lian had heard his father's evaluation of him, and he was a guy who was more than enough to be better than the top.
In the past, his grandfather was considered a favorite to compete for the public position, but he was poisoned, so he always thought that it was Xia Lian's family who took away the public position that belonged to him.
This kind of person has a little ability, but his ambition exceeds his ability, and he is the most easily seduced.
The empire was a hereditary aristocracy, so it was destined to have a vast network of clans and succession issues.
You must know that there are at least 120,000 people living in Helios today, and if these people are all supported by the treasury, it is a very large expenditure.
In order not to let the clan be too bloated and put too much burden on the country, except for the one who inherits the Grand Duke, the rest of the lineage can live on the planet Helios, but theoretically will not inherit any real power, but will receive a knighthood.
The younger brother of the Grand Duke will receive the title of Marquis, the younger brother's son will receive the title of Earl, and so on, and later on their descendants will be reduced to ordinary people in law.
Of course, to be able to live on Helios is already beyond the vast majority of ordinary people.
Although the title has no real power, it can receive a certain subsidy from the property of the Helios family, and it is respected by the people.
At the same time, in officialdom and the military, having a knighthood will also have a better way to rise.
In general, the system encouraged the heirs of the Helios family to rely on themselves to obtain their rightful status and wealth.
Xia Su said at this moment.
"I got a tip-off that a reformed person pretended to be the only son of Xia Suogong and infiltrated Helios to steal the country with a conspiracy, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."
He looked around at the soldiers and said loudly.
"Shoot me! Kill this spy. β
Some soldiers around Xia Su opened fire, and the beam of light shot at Xia Lian, and here was the Helios Star, which was Xia Lian's home field, and the Helios field automatically covered him and protected him.
Most of the soldiers did not shoot, but looked at Xia Su with a little puzzlement.
Xia Suo's forehead burst out of tic-tac-toe, "What are you doing in a daze, shoot!" Smash his Helios field! β
Although Helios Field has the same defense as a starship, its charging speed is not as fast as that of a starship, so so many guns can completely shatter Helios Field.
What's there to wonder about? Didn't the Bahram family also have a Helios field?
Are you going to commit treason? β
"If I don't listen to you, it's treason?"
Xia Lian opened his mouth at this moment and mocked at Xia Suo.
"Those who don't know, think you're the Grand Duke now."
"Just a spy, when is it your turn to speak!?" Xia Su said angrily.
"I finally know why the people of the Bahram family are looking for you, because you not only have a certain amount of power, but also stupid and easy to control."
Xia Lian said calmly.
"These are the most loyal soldiers of the Principality of Helios, but they are not private soldiers in your hands.
Your authority is given to you by Helios, and you must obey the laws of Helios.
Even if I really are what you call a spy, you are not qualified to lynch until I actively resist.
They don't shoot, not treason, but precisely because they are loyal to Helios, not you. β
"I have the power to make decisions on my own!" Xia Su said angrily.
And Xia Lian's words continued, "When I returned from the New Federation, I heard from the Governor of Thangka that the Duchy of Bahram had an internal response in Helios and was preparing to launch a coup d'Γ©tat.
Now it seems that this internal should be you, and the identity code of the transformed person is what you leaked, although my father was not killed by you, but died because of you. β
Xia Lian's words made the eyes of these soldiers around him change slightly, but these people were the most elite soldiers, so even so, they didn't say a word.
However, these changes in his eyes were keenly captured by Xia Lian.
"Oh, the gossip confuses the public." Xia Su sneered, "No matter how beautiful you say, you don't have any evidence to prove it. β
"yes, but you don't have any proof that I'm a spy disguised as a transhuman, am I?"
Xia Lian teased.
"That's why you're so desperate to kill me, because once I'm identified, you won't stand a chance."
"It's just trying to stall for time, do you think we're going to fall for it!?" Xia Su said angrily.
Xia Lian's expression was still calm.
"Since we don't have any evidence, and we can't prove that the other party is a spy, why don't we leave it to these soldiers to judge?"
Hearing this, Xia Su and the surrounding soldiers were stunned.
Then, under their stunned gaze, Xia Lian slowly turned around and showed them his back, and at the same time, closed the Helios field and opened his arms.
At the same time, his sonorous voice also reached the ears of every Star Guard.
"O the most loyal soldiers of Helios!
My father, Shasso Helios, has absolute trust in you, and he gives you his back without reservation.
Now, as the only survivor of his bloodline.
I will also put my back, my trust, and my life into your hands.
The choice is yours!
If you want to kill your future king....."
Xia Lian's gaze looked straight into the distance without hesitation, and slowly grinned the corners of his mouth.
"Then just shoot!"
The soldiers looked at Xia Lian's back in distraction, and their strong arms couldn't hold the guns in their hands.
And they saw the shadow of a man in him.....
"Shoot! Shoot! What are you still doing in a daze!? Xia Su was obviously furious, but no matter how he shouted, the rest of the people were unmoved.
Then, he roared directly at one of the Star Guards, "Sea Sand! β
Haisha reacted, and was about to raise the weapon in his hand, but the next moment, he was pointed at dozens of guns.
The eyes of the Star Guards were as cold as the muzzles of their guns, and the sea sand was soaked with coldness, and they didn't dare to move.
The first to shoot in the crowd, Xia Suo's henchmen, including Xia Suo, were all pointed at by more than ten guns.
