The banquet at the palace entered the stage of turning off the lights.

Yang Wei and Devine have naturally seen this kind of scene for a long time.

The old emperor seemed to have something to talk to Yang Wei, and Devany offered to go to the side hall to rest, and took away a few maids of the tentacle organization.

The old emperor turned slightly sideways, and the suspension sofa flew to Yang Wei's side.

Boss Yang immediately took the initiative to move forward and listened attentively.

"How sure are you about this insect infestation?"

When the old emperor suddenly asked like this, Yang Wei was also a little confused.

How sure is he?

What can he do? Go kill the Big Queen?

Yang Wei didn't think that his own strength could have any direct impact on this level of insect tide, his value to the empire should be to call on the people to cooperate with the government, and by the way, popularize the harmfulness of the insect tide to the people.

Unless it's to use him as bait to get away with the queen.

Yang Wei is not stupid, how can he make himself the queen's primary target.

"Your Majesty, which aspect do you mean?"

"In all respects," the old emperor drew a circle with his finger, "You know Hanton, there are many people who think that as long as you make a move, you can deal with the great queen who is said to be on the verge of ascending."

"That's a rumor, or a deliberate attempt to kill me in front of you."

Yang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"There's really very little I can do, and if I had to say anything, I would be a consultant.

"I can sense every move of the Zerg, and I can predict in advance which area they are going to attack, in addition, I also try to avoid the sight of the Great Queen, otherwise some unpredictable problems may occur."

The old emperor was a little interested: "Unpredictable? ”

Yang said: "She may be very excited to see me. ”

The old emperor understood in an instant.

He's all too familiar with this kind of thing.

The old emperor muttered, "That big queen is also in good shape, but her body is a little too big, isn't it Hanton?" ”

Yang Wei almost couldn't help but stare at the old villain.

The Emperor of the Empire, is it so heavy-mouthed?

"Your Majesty," Yang Wei decided to divert the topic, "You told me back then, let me toss...... Now, do you still want to toss? ”

The old emperor laughed: "Don't worry, my dear knight of the Praetorian Guard. ”

Yang Wei muttered, "You took away all my badges." ”

"You came back by yourself, and you haven't officially apologized to me until now."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I shouldn't have verbally abused you because of coercion."

"That's right," the old emperor laughed, his gaze calmed a lot, "the top priority now is to fight against this insect tide, and I will give you an appointment later, and you will become my knight to deal with the negative effects of this insect tide on my behalf." ”

Yang Wei leaned back.

He somewhat understood why the old emperor suddenly changed his attitude and cared so much for him.

Good fellow, this is to borrow his hand to fight against the insect tide, and then the emperor will leave his name in the history books and become 'the most powerful emperor in the history of the empire in the face of the insect plague'.

Isn't this what the old emperor is asking for now?

"Your Majesty," Yang Wei said in a low voice, "I dare to ask you for a little more false name, and I want to participate in the preparations against the insect tide on your behalf."

"Naturally, there is no problem with this, so you can answer me now, how sure are you?"

"I'm completely sure that humans can defeat the Zerg," Yang Wei said, "The difference is only in how much we pay." ”

The old emperor nodded, bowing his head in contemplation.

Yang Wei was not in a hurry, just waited beside him, and after about a few minutes, the old emperor beckoned to the maid next to him, and the maid brought a crystal ball.

Hidden in the crystal ball is a modular Emperor Star Medallion.

"This is for you," the old emperor whispered, "the Royal Knight Chief's Badge can only exist once in an era, and it is usually only granted to hereditary dukes, if you can minimize the damage of the insect tide to the empire this time, I will give you a charter that allows you to become honorary dukes, hereditary counts, and you and Daphne's descendants can enjoy the treatment of royal children of the empire." ”

Yang Wei looked up at the old emperor.

At this moment, Yang Wei didn't know what to say.

Ino is very 'high-end', and directly painted a lot of cakes for him, ostensibly saying that he would treat his home planet well, but in fact, he just wanted to use the home planet of 'in case he can pass the trial' as his leash.

Although this old emperor is a bit 'not very smart', at least people will not directly draw empty cakes, and let you list the benefits that can be given to you later before doing things, and then give you some real power in advance.

If Yang Wei didn't have the Dark Star-Falling Wind system as a backing, he would have to consider whether to help the old emperor really complete the reform of the empire and the recovery of power.

Of course, he has this backing and has his own plans.

"Don't you want to take it?" The old emperor laughed, "Do you know how many people in the military department want this medal?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yang Wei's eyes flickered slightly, "I will definitely do my best to help your people get through this crisis." ”

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, and sighed softly, a trace of emotion appeared on his face with fine wrinkles.

"Sometimes I really envy you, Hanton, you are so young, and you have so many opportunities, unlike me, the only lucky thing in my life is to be chosen to become the emperor of the empire, but this can hardly be said to be lucky, alas......"

It's hard.

Boss Yang's fist hardened.

If it weren't for the fact that beating the emperor would make his achievements in the internal business of the empire go to waste, he would have to repair this old guy today.

……

Captain of the Order of the Royal Knight.

With this medal, he has free access to most areas of the Imperial Palace, can exercise some of the powers of the Imperial Power, has the right to temporarily appoint and dismiss officials below the rank of local governor, and can represent the Emperor himself, and enter the highest military council of the Imperial Military Headquarters.

Of course, Yang Wei will not exercise this power lightly.

The biggest significance of this medal on his body is to show that his words and deeds once again represent His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

The imperial protection that was lost back then turned around and fell on him again.

It's just that this time is different from the past, and Yang Wei no longer has to be subject to this imperial power.

Late at night, in the palace, in the corner of Daphne's bedchamber.

Yang Wei and Devine hugged each other, with the crystal ball that could levitate itself in front of them, as if they were saying some warm words between sweet couples.

Daphne asked, "Didn't he mention getting married?" ”

"No," Yang Wei said in a low voice, "now his attention is on the insect tide, and now I have to face the insects on his behalf." ”

"Are you sure?"

Yang Wei laughed: "Sure enough, it's father and daughter, they asked the same question, how can I be sure, I don't know how big the scale of the insect tide is now, but it will definitely be amazing." ”

Devany whispered: "I'm afraid that something will happen to you, then all the hard work I have put in these years will be in vain, and I will lose more than half of my value." ”

"Well, I thought you'd say something kind."

"Between us, cooperation and rationality are enough, that's what you said."

Yang Wei pursed his lips slightly, sighed slightly, leaned against the soft head of the bed, and his eyes gradually became a little blurred.

It is now the year 736 of the Imperial New Calendar.

The stand-alone version of "The Abyss" of the planet, the game was launched in 753 years of the imperial calendar.

This seems to have a long time to prepare, but according to the information that Yang Wei has now, the multi-planet online trial version of "Abyss", the game is usually launched before the stand-alone version, and will not exceed the stand-alone version of the server opening time.

To put it simply, between now and 753 years of the new imperial calendar, the game of Faya could be launched at any time.

And the current galactic environment is completely in line with the background of Faya's game selection.

First, the empire and the new federation each suffered a certain degree of military weakness due to the three-year war, and the political environment of both countries was somewhat unstable.

Second, the outbreak of insect tides in the next one to three years, a major event that affects the entire galaxy, can be used as the content of Faya's game trials.

Both of these points are analyzed from the perspective of game content needs.

If it's from another point of view, such as the galaxy's population has reached a historical low, it's time for a wave of population replenishment.

Will it start at this point in time?

Yang Wei kept analyzing it in his heart, but he felt clueless.

It stands to reason that the conditions for starting have now been met......

"Hanton?"

Devany asked softly, "Hanton?" ”

"Huh?"

Yang Wei came back to his senses and looked down at the beauty in his arms.

"Are you wandering?" There was a light in Daphne's eyes.

Yang Wei smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Sleep, dear, I have another meeting tomorrow." ”

"Well," Daphne replied softly, "can I be in your arms...... We have to be intimate enough. ”

"Of course, as long as you're not afraid of cervical spine problems."

"No problem, I promise," Daphne smiled with satisfaction.

She leaned forward, but Yang Wei just lay down flat, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After about ten minutes, Daphne was already asleep, but Yang Wei opened her eyes and stared at the curtain on the ceiling.

Behind the curtain is a mural depicting a pivotal battle on the rise of the Empire, in which Levi Sherman's fleet defeated an enemy who was 50 percent more powerful than them, creating one of the most dazzling scenes in the history books of the Empire.

The rise of every power is accompanied by the demise of the old forces, the loss of a lot of resources, and the death and injury of human life.

'Am I really ready?' ’

Yang Wei pillowed his arms and fell into deep thought.

After the insect tide, the real opportunity period is likely to appear in front of his eyes, how should he grasp it, and how should he grasp the dark star.

Moreover, just in case, the giant spaceship of the Dark Star III base should also set sail in the near future.

If the insect tide is really too dangerous, Hera and her experimental team can temporarily hide in the infinite space beyond the Great Galaxy, so that their small actions will not be noticed by the Great Queen.

Alas, these are all issues that he, the man at the helm, has to consider.

The farther he went down this road, the farther away he was from the word 'easy'.

……

On the edge of the Falling Wind Alliance's sphere of influence, an inconspicuous abandoned resource star, quietly suspended in the deep space of the universe.

There is a large meteorite belt near this resource star, which is supposed to be a product left over from the impact of the planet, and the meteorite belt is relatively synchronized with the planet, and from time to time some debris will be attracted by the gravitational pull of the 'passing' star, and finally fall into the gravitational trap laid by the planet on the space-time line.

In the meteorite belt, pitch-black warships three hundred meters long and somewhat bloated were quietly docked here.

They hide in the shadows of the meteorite belt, hidden beyond the range of the Milky Way's regular detection signals, and quietly guard the abandoned resource stars in the distance.

Although it is far from the commercial line and there is no gravitational equilibrium zone to repair, several small governments in the vicinity have no ability or desire to reclaim interstellar space, and these small governments are already under the surveillance of the forces belonging to these dark warships;

But the forces that set up this place will still worry that this place may be exposed.

No way, this 'No. 3 base' is too crucial.

If you look beyond the surface of this abandoned resource star and penetrate deep into its crust, it is easy to find the incomparably complex metal tubular structure.

Each automated machine is like an insatiable artificial space zerg, devouring everything here, constantly expanding the boundaries of this underground world.

This is Darkstar Base 3.

In the very center of the base, a giant spaceship 14,000 meters long is undergoing final assembly.

The ship resembles a 'whale', with no main cannon mounted on its bloated front end, and is riddled with shield generators that can match the most advanced shield ships in the galaxy.

The powerful energy reserve capacity will provide it with strong power and shield, and the six sets of engine rooms equipped in it can not only allow it to forcibly jump in the harsh gravitational environment, but also allow it to be directly divided into six parts in an emergency, and the six parts will become independent ships and flee in a decentralized manner.

In short, all the performance of this giant ship, for one purpose.

Security.

This is the biochemical ship that Yang Wei prepared for Hera.

It not only integrates the ship-building technology from the New Federation and the Sherman Empire, but also the 'low-end black technology' given by some Fa-Asian civilizations, and the 'split-type power structure' from the intelligent machine Twilight.

In order to save construction time and ensure the progress of the experiment, the construction of the six parts of the hull began at the same time, and the core laboratory module was given priority during the construction process, so that the experimental progress was steadily advanced, and the trouble of transporting the laboratory from the outside into the interior was also saved.

Hera was very happy with all this.

She's already living in the giant research ship.

In her spare time, Hera is also following some news, especially all the information about the White Ghost from the Sherman Empire.

For example, now, Hera's network terminal pops up a message from Xiaolu.

[The Great Emperor of the Empire issued the White Ghost with the Imperial Imperial Knight Chief's Badge, the only one in the Empire, giving the White Ghost the name of the Imperial Knight Chief, and binding the nobles and local administrators at all levels.]

It is reported that the Empire's highest-level military meeting on dealing with the active period of the Space Zerg will be held this morning.

Senior officials from the military ministry and the House of Elders will participate in the meeting.

It is worth noting that the White Ghost will also observe the meeting on behalf of the Great Emperor.

Hera smiled.

Although she didn't know what the official position of the chief knight of the royal family was, she read some hidden messages.

"Lil?"

"Miss Hera, do you have any questions?"

Xiao Ritsu's voice sounded directly in Hera's ears, and the various mechanical thinking bodies in the laboratory were still busy with their heads bowed in their places.

Hera asked, "Does he want to help the empire fight the insect tide?" ”

"Yes," Ritsu said softly, "not only to help the Empire, but also to help humanity, and also to help the boss himself." ”

"Doesn't he want to take this opportunity to overthrow the Empire?"

"First, the boss can't be sure when the Fayan experimental project he cares about will start, and he can't directly turn against the empire at this stage.

"Second, we have not yet discovered the essence of the empire, and the existence of reason is still not accurately qualified.

"Third, if you can repel the Zerg with excellent performance, the boss may be able to get a chance to get further contact with the Faya civilization, Ritsu analyzed.

"Fourth, the boss should also want to use this insect tide to further tear apart the internal class of the empire, since the internal pressure of the empire cannot be increased quickly, use external pressure to enhance the internal pressure, so that the empire will explode as soon as possible."

Hera shook her head slightly: "I don't think the empire will be defeated so easily. ”

"Yes, Levi Sherman's will still reigns over the Empire," Ritsu chuckled, "but there is a high probability that we will have a war with the Empire before the boss undergoes the third test." ”

"Why?"

"The key is whether Li will allow the empire to fall, and if she doesn't, she will prevent the boss from inheriting the mechanical civilization inheritance that can truly determine the technological gap in the galaxy.

"I have already sensed that the empire has cultivated a new thinking body through imitation theory in recent years, that is, the 2.0 version of the imperial guard system, which may be an opportunity for the boss.

"And, Miss Hera, I want you to be honest with your boss about your problem."

Hera's smile instantly stiffened.

"Ritsu, you're not going to tell me, are you?"

"I'm hesitating."

"You know, it's the only way, okay, don't talk about it, if he asks, you can put all the blame on me."

Hera whispered, a faint smile on her lips.

"He can't blame me."

Ritsu's voice didn't sound again.

Clearly, she was still hesitating.
