[The white ghost parents are kidnapped, and the Imperial Defense Forces urgently hunt them down.] 】

[A strangulation against the White Ghost, where the parents of the heroes of the empire are held hostage.] 】

[Abnormal public opinion, warship kidnapping, who did the white ghost offend. 】

[Suddenly! The Overseas Fleet Sneaks Up on the Imperial Edge Administrative Star and Kidnaps the White Ghost Parents! 】

…

The Royal Palace, the main hall of government affairs.

The military department, the House of Elders, the Development Divine Cult, various government departments, and dozens of powerful officials of the empire stood in front of the old emperor, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.

This matter is very small, it is just the kidnapping of two civilians of the Empire, and for the size of the Empire, this matter is not worth discussing at the highest level of government affairs.

However, this matter is very big.

The formation of twelve warships organized a raid, the intelligence system of the Military Intelligence Bureau was completely breached, and a fake order was issued, and the two imperial civilians who were taken captive are the biological parents of the hottest political star in the empire today, the white ghost......

People revere heroes.

But people prefer to snoop on the personal privacy of the hero to satisfy the huge voyeuristic desire.

Three hours have passed since Hanton's parents were taken captive, and the interception by the Imperial Local Defense Force has failed, and the other side's warships are far superior to those of the local defense forces, especially with a focus on stealth.

The old emperor's expression could not be seen in joy or anger, and he was just sitting there quietly at the moment, with a seemingly absent smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Where's Hanton?"

The Supreme Commander of the Military Department immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, Hanton is waiting in the spaceport, and he wants to borrow a warship that can jump and go to find his ancient technology warship to rendezvous." ”

"Let him come," the old emperor frowned, "will he be able to find the kidnappers?" Aren't you afraid that that's a trap set against him by the new Federation? Let him come over, prepare for the live broadcast of the whole territory, let him appear in public and say a few words, and calm down public opinion first. ”

"Yes!"

The Supreme Commander turned his head to look at the two old men behind him, and the one on the right looked quite handy, and immediately turned around and walked towards the door.

"Run a few steps!"

The old emperor suddenly shouted:

"Now hundreds of billions of people in the empire are watching the excitement of your military! The MIA has been infiltrated into a sieve! Tens of thousands of ships of the local defense forces did not confront the robbers in the end! ”

The old general hurriedly ran, his body trembling a little.

The Acting Chief of the House of Elders said forward: "Your Majesty, this is definitely a premeditated and organized kidnapping plan, we have analyzed the twelve warships and found a lot of key information. ”

The old emperor waved his hand, and the acting chief immediately unfolded the projection screen and posted twelve photos.

"Your Majesty, please see, the twelve warships are all six-hundred-meter cruiser class, the hull shape and production process are the same at a glance, it seems to be the product of the same assembly line, but they are different in details.

"The nine warships that formed the sniper array photographed by the fleet of the defense force are all of the same model, with nine dispersed energy-infusion main guns, which can instantaneously output energy comparable to the energy of the traditional main guns of 1,300-meter-class medium battleships, which is a relatively advanced main gun technology.

"According to our preliminary investigation, this technology has only been installed in a small number of powerful countries, which can be said to be a comprehensive suppression of the emergency fleet of the local defense forces.

"In addition, their hull layout, their power system, and their somewhat exaggerated jump efficiency...... There is no doubt that these are all advanced ships.

"More details are on the three ships that entered the atmosphere and participated in the raid, Your Majesty...... They do not have a frontal main gun. ”

The old emperor frowned and looked: "What's the matter?" ”

"Of these three ships, one is a comprehensive supply command ship, one is a special ship for ground suppression, and one is an information jamming ship."

The Acting Chief Elder sighed:

"Their hull structure is the same as that of the nine main ships, and the overall performance is extremely similar, but it is clear that the production yards of these ships have achieved modular assembly.

"This requires an extremely high level of ship design, and the fact that the other side can develop a basic ship into a multi-functional model at the same time can only explain one thing!

"They have a very high level of industry in their own right.

"There are no more than ten countries or forces in the galaxy that can achieve this level of technology."

The old emperor said indifferently: "You said so much, just want to say that this kidnapping case was done by the new federation?" ”

"With a high probability, it can only be explained this way."

"Is this any different from what we thought we had before?" The old emperor suddenly became angry, "Isn't the style of this hull from the New Federation?" ”

Outside the main hall, a middle-aged man bowed his head and shouted from afar:

"Your Majesty! The Foreign Affairs Bureau has just received a diplomatic letter from the new Federation, in which they express their great concern about the vicious kidnapping case in the Empire, and say that the ships that appear in the Empire are by no means their military ships, and ask the Empire to maintain rational restraint and deal with this issue more professionally! ”

"Let them fuck off!"

The emperor suddenly roared:

"Today's matter can't be over, so let them hand over all the ship information! Otherwise, start the second expedition! ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed his head and ran out, beginning to think about how to consider the diplomatic rhetoric.

Generally speaking, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of every country is a very important department, with the exception of the Empire, even if their Foreign Affairs Bureau is of sufficient rank, most of the time it will not be directly summoned by His Majesty.

There is no way, the diplomacy of the empire is left to the army.

The emperor summoned the maids on the side, casually browsed the public opinion of the empire, and his expression became worse and worse.

"I remember that the discussion of the new emperor's accession to the throne is nothing more than that."

The old emperor raised his hand to his forehead:

"You know, what worries me the most?

"It's the military, and the military's face is now all lost by you! They came to the heart of our empire and captured two big living people under your strict guard!

"The army is the foundation of my Sherman! You are shaking the foundation of the country! ”

The two old generals could only bury their heads down.

They could feel that the old emperor's anger should have come from somewhere else, but it was vented to the military headquarters that had always been diligent and walking on thin ice.

The local defense forces choose the far space port because of the aging of the ships, the incomplete response mechanism, and the high maintenance cost of the near-Earth spaceport...... In the final analysis, isn't it because of the lack of military spending?

Of course, no one dares to contradict His Majesty the Emperor now.

"Has the archbishop activated the Territory-wide Defense System?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," a slightly younger Bishop of the Development God Sect bowed his head, "I have tried to activate it three times, but the response I got was that a kidnapping case really could not wake up the Imperial Guard system, and although the public opinion on the Internet was fierce, most of them were waiting for follow-up, and only a few were anti-imperial remarks, all of which were controllable stages. ”

"Controllable?"

The old emperor sneered.

"Then wait for Hanton to come back! There is no one in the whole country! ”

The ministers could only bow their heads and hold their breath, for fear that the emperor would suddenly call them by name.

As for, Princess Daphne......

Now no one cares about the gossip news of the White Ghost.

……

When Yang Wei arrived at the palace hall, the kidnapping had already taken place four hours ago.

Several government departments of the empire have cooperated and prepared the official emergency broadcast, and Yang Wei also got the script given by the tentacle organization in advance.

The official attitude of the empire was to ask him to calm down public opinion in the empire first, and then consider the problems of his own family.

The content of the script is actually not excessive, only Yang Wei needs to express a clear message - he believes that the imperial military and local security system can solve the problem in a timely manner and protect the personal safety of every citizen of the empire.

Others, how to scold the robbers, Yang Wei can play by himself.

According to the emperor's request, when Yang Wei broadcasts, he needs to be in the palace, and the emperor himself needs to appear in the background to express the emperor's importance to the heroes of the empire.

"Your Majesty!"

Yang Wei walked straight to the middle of the ministers and gave a weak imperial military salute.

He said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the kidnapping of my family would alarm Your Majesty and the ministers. ”

The old emperor snorted, "What? Are you saying that we're idle and too lenient? ”

Yang Wei hurriedly lowered his head: "I definitely didn't mean this, Your Majesty, you care about my family, which makes me extremely moved, but I feel that this matter has wasted too many resources of the empire." ”

"Public opinion, now the whole territory is boiling public opinion!"

The old emperor waved his hand, and the acting chief elder on the side immediately understood.

The acting chief explained earnestly: "Earl Hanton, I know that you must be worried about your parents now, but you are the Earl of the Empire, and what you have to do now is not to chase those robbers in a boat, but to calm down these public opinions first. ”

"I understand and accept it."

Yang Wei immediately said:

"After all, this incident started because of me, and I will do my best to calm public opinion......

"But can I ask if the Empire has found out who did this? The New Federation? The great nobles I offended? Or is it a force with an unknown purpose? ”

The acting chief sighed: "We are currently inferring that it should be done by the new federation, but until we find substantial evidence in this matter, we can't attack the new federation." ”

An old general from the military department added: "We have organized hundreds of warships to track down those twelve warships, Hanton, please don't worry, as long as there is the slightest possibility, we will also bring your parents back safely." ”

The old emperor said: "After your parents were rescued, they lived in the Emperor Star!" I reward them with titles and estates! ”

"At this time, I can't thank you, Your Majesty, I just hope that they will be safe."

Yang Wei immediately said: "I can broadcast now." ”

An official on the side immediately turned his head and shouted: "Photo ball! Shoot Ball Release! ”

Many officials have put their manners in order.

A maid on the side rushed over with a skirt, and was almost twisted by high heels halfway, and walked directly to the seat of His Majesty the Emperor, and said a few words in her ear.

The old emperor's face was visibly gloomy.

"Won't the Imperial Guard system be activated yet?"

The maid hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the archbishop has already inserted the scepter more than ten times, and the imperial guard system has not detected the existence of a crisis in the empire and refuses to activate it." ”

The old emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his hand to signal the maid to stand back, sat in the throne and thought for a few seconds, and said in a loud voice:

"Don't be busy, the robbers have already started the live broadcast before you, they are already outside the empire, asking for communication with Hanton."

The ministers in the hall were silent.

Yang Wei asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”

"What do I mean? I must mean to protect your parents and protect every citizen of the empire," the old emperor said indifferently, "negotiate with them, right here, Hanton, I want to see what they want to do." ”

"Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this," an elder said in a deep voice, "You are the supreme will of the Empire, and it is not in accordance with the procedure to directly intervene in a kidnapping case. ”

The old emperor lightly spat out a word: "Get out." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A maid came barefoot and brought a long table with a panoramic projection system, and a projection screen scrolling with codes appeared in front of him.

- The Imperial Palace naturally has a system that directly links to the entire network of the Empire.

The projection screen shook slightly, and a picture of the ship's cabin appeared.

Hanton's parents sat in two suspended chairs, both asleep, with two hourglasses placed next to them.

Antimatter bombs!

An old, electronically processed voice resounded throughout the palace halls.

"Isn't the white ghost here yet? Our Earl of Hanton, don't you even have the heart to save your own parents? ”

"Now let me see the number of live broadcasters, oh yes, the live broadcast is throttled, and now it's less than a few million, wow, this is the means of the empire."

"You can cut off this live, yes, you can cut it completely, and then I'll take one of Hanton's fathers or mothers and throw them out of this boat."

"We have gone to such great lengths to arrest the two of them, please don't doubt our determination to kill them, of course, you can say that the two of them sacrificed their lives for the country and gave them some beautiful nicknames, but think about it, your hero, the little ghost of the Empire, sitting alone, helpless, and miserable on the sofa in the living room of his hometown, crying bitterly at the projection picture on the wall, he curled up, his body kept shaking, he hated himself for his incompetence, hated why he couldn't teleport back and forth between the galaxies, That way his parents wouldn't have been killed directly. Haha, haha! He's an orphan! Oh oh ~ powerful orphans, orphans of the Empire! ”

The corners of Yang Wei's mouth were twitching, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

The emperor made a gesture, and the maid aimed the camera ball at Yang Wei and launched a microphone connection.

Yang Wei took a breath, raised his chest and looked ahead.

"Wow! The ghost is coming! ”

The loud voice rang out again.

A silver-white skeleton robot guard walked into the frame, muttering something in his mouth, and raised his hand to press a few buttons.

The picture is divided into two, and Yang Wei's figure and half of the palace hall appear in the picture.

"Don't hurt them."

Yang Wei said in a deep voice: "If you want to target me, you can come directly to me." ”

"White ghosts? Handsome white ghost. ”

The Roboguard let out a rattling laugh:

"Let me see...... Are you in the Emperor Star? Yes, you who are powerful and can convict the major nobles at will, you should be in the Emperor Star now.

"These guys behind you, five or six, are they the ministers of the empire?"

"What do you want to do?"

Yang Wei didn't answer: "Say your purpose, don't make a fool of yourself here, you should know that if you hurt my parents, I will tear you and the people behind you apart." ”

"Come on, White Ghost, come to your best jumping gang."

The mechanical guard sneered:

"It's just a product of the empire's biochemical experiments, and he accidentally created some feats, and he was praised by the empire as the biggest traffic star.

"Are you still human?

"Are those women on the Emperor Star fragrant? Yes? Earl of Hanton, when will you become Duke of Hanton and Prince of Hanton?

"Being the emperor's dog must taste very good."

Yang Wei said angrily: "Shut up! ”

"Look, you're provoked by me, what else can you praise but that little bit of force? Come, I'll make a show for you, you look outside, outside the ship. ”

The picture changed, and a meteorite belt appeared on the half of the robbers.

Accompanied by a bright light, a hot ball of light appeared in the meteorite belt.

"See?"

The Roboguard laughed:

"My antimatter bomb is genuine, I can break your mom and dad into elementary particles with a bang at any time, and you can't even collect their corpses at that time.

"By the way, I've also made a simple timer, look here."

As the picture shakes, I get closer to the two hourglasses and see a small timer underneath the hourglass.

The Roboguard casually turned on the timer, and the countdown began to beat.

Only thirty minutes.

Yang Wei could only spray two sentences: "You bastard!" What the hell do you want to do! ”

The mechanical guard smiled: "It's very simple, three things, as long as you satisfy me, I will give you the coordinates of this transport ship, and interrupt the timer." ”

"Speak!"

"The first thing, to find the emperor, you only have about twenty minutes, but I think it should be very simple if you want to see the emperor."

Yang Wei frowned tightly and pursed his lips silently.

"What, you're going to sacrifice your own parents?"

Yang Wei said calmly: "If my parents die at your hands, they are sacrificing for sin, and they have nothing to do with anyone in the empire!" ”

"Anyone can say beautiful things, the choice is yours."

The mechanical guard's fingers ran across Hanton's father's cheek and pressed it down hard, and Hanton's father's body continued to shake.

Yang Wei was furious, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

The voice of the old emperor suddenly came from behind him: "Turn the camera over, Hanton, don't be afraid of darkness and evil, if it is to protect the citizens of our country, what is the matter with me, the emperor, showing up?" ”

Yang Wei turned his head and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, they may plot against you......"

"It's okay, this is the Emperor Star."

The old emperor waved his hand, and the maids had already begun to operate.

Yang Wei walked around the long table, and behind him were the emperor and more than a dozen of the most powerful ministers of the empire.

The traffic in the live broadcast room suddenly began to skyrocket, and tens of thousands of live streams appeared in the online world.

It seems that they were suppressed by the emperor, and the mechanical guards' speeches became much more restrained.

"You're in the palace, that's great...... The white ghost of the empire, the second thing, you have to repent. ”

"Say, how to repent."

"For the crimes you have committed, in order to gain power for yourself, you do not hesitate to raise a butcher's knife, how many people you have killed now, do you remember?"

Yang Wei raised his head slightly: "If it is said that the empire is fighting, as an imperial soldier, the annihilation of the enemy army is to protect the family and defend the country, if you are talking about rectifying the corrupt nobles, according to what I can tell you, some nobles are vampires of the empire, bloodsuckers lying on the hundreds of billions of people in the empire!" I killed them to remove the evil of the people! ”

The mechanical guard laughed, "What did Prince Venos say?" You don't think that everyone else doesn't know that the emperor asked you to do this, right? Hahaha, don't be so righteous and strict, you are a hypocritical and despicable villain! Are you still a white ghost charging towards the queen alone? You are no longer the emperor's butcher's knife now, you are just the deterrent manifestation of the imperial power! It also eliminates harm for the people, only procedural justice is to eliminate harm for the people, and the abuse of lynching is just a catharsis of one's own desires! This is in the Imperial Codex, you don't even know about it, do you? ”

Yang Wei clenched his fists.

"Hurry up, repent, you can just say one word, I repent of the sins I have committed."

"I ...... I repent of the sins I have committed. ”

"Very well, the third thing, this may be a little difficult for you, because if you do, you will lose your hard-earned power and fame, but your parents will live because of it."

The Roboguard chuckled:

"Look at the Emperor and repeat to him three times: Myron Sherman, just, yes, one, big, stupid, forced."

Yang Wei stared at the projection screen in front of him, and there was a little commotion in the hall immediately, but the commotion disappeared immediately.

Myron Sherman is the emperor's real name, which is a taboo in the empire and will not be mentioned easily.

The emperor frowned and looked at the projection screen below, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Hurry up, White Ghost, what are you waiting for?"

The mechanical guard smiled and picked up the hourglass, and the silver-white fingers poked nimbly a few times, and the countdown suddenly changed to only three minutes.

"Given that you've found the Emperor, thirty minutes is too much for you.

"You only have three minutes.

"Quick, turn your head to look at the emperor, what do you think I'm doing? You don't believe in its power? ”

The Roboguard casually picked up an antimatter bomb and walked over to the window to hand it to a robot.

The robot immediately entered the conversion chamber and rushed into space with the bomb in its arms, accelerating for about ten seconds before pressing the button on the hourglass.

The explosion at close range shook the scene, and the outer shield of the transport ship barely resisted the force of the explosion.

"White ghost, what are you waiting for, look at the emperor, scold him for being a big idiot, remember to bring his name, Myron Sherman, the biggest dictator in the galaxy, the oppressor of hundreds of billions of people in the empire, say it quickly! Say! ”

"Hanton."

The old emperor's voice suddenly came, still calm, steady, and even without any emotion:

"If this can save the lives of two innocent people in the empire, just do as he says, a few insults, it is the emperor's duty to protect every citizen."

"Your Majesty!"

Immediately the elders chanted:

"This is degrading to the country! It is not possible to make up for the lives of two people! ”

"Your Majesty, please think carefully! This must not be done lightly! ”

"Your Majesty, how could the Earl of Hanton make such a disobedient move! Where have you placed the Earl of Hanton, Your Majesty! ”

"Please take back your order!"

"Your Majesty, please! Take back your fate! ”

Yang Wei turned his head to look behind him, looked at the high platform, and the emperor nodded with a serious face.

"Come on, Hanton, don't worry, I won't have any resentment against you because of this."

"Your Majesty!"

Yang Wei suddenly turned around, took the initiative to kneel on one knee towards the emperor, and after taking two deep breaths, he shouted loudly:

"I voluntarily renounce all honors and official positions in the Empire, and will continue to fight against swarms and foreign enemies for the Empire in the future! Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Forgive your sins! ”

The emperor said indifferently: "You don't have to be like this, I don't allow it, you are a hero of the empire, and the hero of the empire deserves praise and honor!" Just scold, it's to save my people! ”

"Myron Sherman is...... Big stupid ......"

The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he felt some kind of strange state of mind.

The mechanical guard grabbed Hanton's mother's neck: "Louder! White Ghost! Give me a loud voice! ”

"You bastard!"

Yang Wei turned his head and roared, then lowered his head and shouted:

"Myron Sherman is a big idiot."

"Hahahaha!" The Roboguard was laughing wildly, "One more time! ”

"Myron Sherman is a big idiot!"

"Perfect! Allow me to take an early curtain call, Your Majesty the Great Emperor. ”

Shout!

The live broadcast was cut off directly, and a line of deep space coordinates was sent to the screen, and there were immediately maids running with their heads bowed, and the old general of the military also bowed his head and began to contact his subordinates.

In the main hall, the old emperor smiled and said slowly:

"This so-called robber is obviously a misunderstanding of our empire.

"I am the Emperor, yes, but I am just a restraining and regulator, I am in the framework of the Restraining Empire, supervising the nobility of the Empire.

"If the people of the empire encounter any injustice, they can find true justice from me.

"It's just a few insults, how can I not have this tolerance? Please rest assured that there will be no unfair treatment of the hero of the empire, and I cherish him, because he really uses his power on the people, so ......"

"Your Majesty," a maid on the side reminded in a low voice, "The other party is the one who started the live broadcast, and the current live broadcast has been completely cut off." ”

The Emperor paused, his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he suddenly kicked over the low table in front of him.

"You three old shit! Your invincibility has been turned into a bunch of wrecks by you! Played by a few robbers! Get back to your hometown right now! If you can't do it, don't do it! ”

The three old generals bowed their heads and knelt down, without any argument, just bowing their heads and sighing.

The problem of the local defense forces is really due to the fact that there has been a deficit in military spending......

"Your Majesty!"

Yang Wei lowered his head and sighed: "Please surrender!" ”

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

The old emperor scolded, and a group of ministers hurriedly took the order, bowed their heads and retreated.

"Hanton, you!"

The old emperor pointed at Yang Wei and scolded: "Are you brainless!" If your parents are killed by them, they will be heroes of the empire and will be praised by the world, and I can erect a big monument to them! Of course, now that I've gained a certain amount of popularity, I've shown that I love the people like a child, which is great, and I can take the opportunity to market it...... Go down. ”

"But Your Majesty."

"Get down!"

"Yes!"

Yang Wei immediately got up, turned around and hurried away.

More than ten minutes later, Yang Wei heard the news of the collective resignation of the three supreme commanders of the imperial military department.

……

In a dark room in the territory of the Falling Wind Empire, the old Kolev, the controller of the mechanical guard, a retired pirate, and the first mate of the Dongfeng, took off his helmet and exhaled softly.

This laptop of the law is ......

"It's exciting."

……

In the depths of the Emperor Star, the dark space where the black box floats.

The girl in the black box trembled her eyelids slightly, and a chain on her leg quietly dissipated.
