Saka Star.

The one-man airship piloted by Yang Wei fell towards the surface city of Saka.

The military department's operational power has always been impressive, and this time is no exception.

Yang Wei was still on the way back to Saka, a rapid reaction fleet under the direct jurisdiction of the military department, with a total of more than 120 main warships, appeared in the star field near Saka.

Both orders were conveyed to the Governor's Office at the same time.

First, the Empire is about to hold periodic military exercises around Saka to increase the sense of security of the inhabitants of Saka.

Second, in the next standard galactic year, the Imperial Military Department will relocate a deep air port and station near the commercial waterway near Saka.

These two commands seem nothing at first glance;

However, when the Imperial fleet appeared on the periphery of the Saka Star's yet-to-scale planetary defense system, making a posture of attacking at any time, the Saka Star Governor's Mansion and the Lord's Mansion immediately felt tremendous pressure.

Rumors are rife on Saka's planet.

In the local regional network, the new and old Saka people reached a consensus in the discussion - their lord lord was deeply suspicious of the Empire's high-level because of his high merit and influence, and the Empire's high-ranking wanted to suppress the White Ghost.

When the Empire's fleet aimed its guns at the planets in the Empire, it made Saka even more noisy.

Many young people with strong blood, especially the officers and grassroots soldiers at all levels in the Saka Star Escort Fleet, who have experienced the life and death experience of the insect tide, have begun to gear up;

They constantly sent requests to the lord's palace to take to the air to meet the enemy.

Even if they knew that there was a high probability that a civil war would not really break out, they would lift all the ships of the Saka convoy into the air and conduct a military exercise of the same level in front of the fleet sent by the Imperial Military Department.

Only the barrels of the guns against each other can prove their determination to fight at any cost!

However, despite the righteous indignation of the young men of Sakaxing, the decisions made by the Lord's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion were still steady and calm.

[The Saka Star Escort Formation and the rest of the lord's private armed forces remain silent.] 】

[Personnel and their families of any local government and military personnel are not allowed to make any remarks against the official Empire.] 】

This is the environment that Saka Star was in when Yang Wei arrived at Saka Star.

He didn't say anything to Godoy and the others, and landed alone back to Saka in a dinghy.

He turned off the stealth function of the dinghy and actively spread location noise on all channels. - This is tantamount to telling everyone that he has returned to Saka.

If the Empire is going to see if it can take him out, this is the best time to do it.

The Dongfeng dodged the back side of Saka (relative to the position of the Imperial fleet) and maintained the farthest particle transmission distance from Yang Wei.

There is no more noise in the thinking space of the law, and one by one the clones are methodically executing various instructions.

The dreadnoughts sent by the Empire to Saka are still on the way;

The Terminator assassination robot that Yang Wei asked for by Law has been waiting for the Imperial Frontier.

Based on the information that the elite leaders of the Sherman family in the empire currently have in their possession, they are sure that they can wipe out 40% of the members in a galactic day, paralyze the government affairs department of the empire, and wipe out more than sixty percent of the generals in the imperial military department.

This is a war where there is no way back if it breaks out, and they are not fully prepared.

Ritsu can definitely feel the change in his boss's mentality.

The boss has always been in the mood of testing the empire, and while advancing their many plans step by step, he also left room for relaxation of 'accept it when it is good' and 'if it doesn't work this time, come back next time'.

But when the boss hears it, the Imperial War Department mobilizes a dreadnought to come near Saka......

Ritsu felt Yang Wei's long-lost annoyance.

Yang Wei does have the qualifications to be angry.

Even if they can't defeat the full empire head-on, they can now bite off half the empire's life;

What's more, Ri has always been in a state of silence now, and Ri does not approve of the current imperial royal family.

In the projection screen in front of his eyes, Boss Yang's expression was quite cold.

But when the dinghy was about to land, Yang Wei twisted his face, and the whole person became very easy-going.

The airship landed directly towards the Lord's Palace.

Her Royal Highness Devonne, Governor Godoy Saka, the two sisters Hanyin Hanxiang, and several core officers of the ghost private army, represented by Peterson, who received the news in advance, stood and waited outside the lord's mansion together.

Devany crossed her arms with a slightly tired look on her face.

She had just arrived from a distant star field, and she was upset by the messy public opinion on the Internet.

However, when Yang Wei's airship appeared in her sight, her slightly frowning brow slowly eased, and the corners of her slightly pursed mouth gradually eased.

As long as he can come back, everything has a solution.

- Devany thought.

……

Moments later, a closed-door meeting in the Lord's Palace.

Yang Wei leaned back on the chair, enjoying the fragrant massage service, with a somewhat 'peaceful' smile on the corner of his mouth.

Devonie sat on her own delicate sofa, sipping the fragrant tea in her hand, thinking about what she could do now.

Governor Godoy and Hanyin paced back and forth like ants on a hot pan.

"Hanton!" Governor Godoy sighed, "My lord, my ghost brother! How can you still be so calm now, a large number of topics with rhythm hacking you suddenly appeared on the Imperial Network, and the official did not suppress it, but instead added fuel to the fire, and even transferred the fleet over and stuffed the muzzle of the cannon into our heads! W-What the hell is going on! ”

Hanyin also said hurriedly: "I can get a little news from the tentacles, His Majesty the Great Emperor has acquiesced to the pressure of some great nobles on you...... There are also unfavorable remarks coming out of the military department...... Almost overnight, it seemed like they were working together to target you. ”

"Calm."

Yang Wei opened a gap in his right eye and looked at Devonie who was drinking tea next to him.

"Things are more complicated than you think, don't believe you ask your dear princess, she has her own source of information, and now she is a bystander."

"Bystander clear? That's an interesting statement. ”

Daphne smiled elegantly:

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's just that because your lord, when he led his troops to the Domingos Star, he didn't follow the will of the military department to rob the Domingos as slaves, and he still insisted on his own reputation, so some old guys in the military department felt offended.

"After the insect tide, your lord's prestige has reached its peak, and the people have even developed various beliefs about the white ghost on their own, deifying and sainting the white ghost.

"When the White Ghost refuses to do what the Empire wishes and colludes with the Empire's ruling faction, it will naturally cause great panic among those in power, so through this White Ghost massacre of terrorists, all contradictions will erupt in a concentrated manner.

"The main contradiction now is that the power in the hands of those in power in the empire clashes with the excessive influence of the white ghost on the grassroots, and that's it."

Godoy pondered for a moment and whispered, "Then you're doing the right thing, Hanton...... Hui, not to be a member of those great nobles is the right choice you made, even if it will make the great nobles of the empire angry, but this is an act that must be encouraged. ”

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow at Godoy, and his bad mood recovered a lot.

Hanyin said helplessly: "However, this is the empire, the nobles are united, that energy is very terrifying, and now not only the nobles are united, but the old generals of the imperial military department are also united." ”

Hanxiang added in a low voice: "If these people really start to be ruthless, there is a risk of creating the Domingos tragedy in China." ”

Godoy also said: "I know them, intuitively, as long as they do not exist in their own interests, they will be destroyed at all costs." ”

Yang Wei spread his hands: "So, what advice did you give me?" ”

"The easiest way to do this is to ask to be the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet again," Devany whispered, "to plunder the Domingos, to get your hands dirty, to preach the honor of the Empire and to please the self-satisfied nobles." ”

"I can't do it," Yang Wei shook his head, "My temper is like this, if you want me to do something against my will, it is better to kill me directly." ”

Godoy asked, "How about asking Prince Kinofu to help him say a few words?" There was also Count Revere, whose influence in aristocratic circles was crucial. ”

Yang Wei smiled: "I have never looked at these rabble nobles, of course, Revere is not counted, he is a young man I am more optimistic about." As far as the Imperial Council of Elders and these aristocratic forces under them are concerned, they are not even qualified to be my opponents, and now it is Daphne's great-grandfather and grandfather's generation of the Sherman family in power who want to rectify me. ”

"Uncle Eno was against them," Devany whispered.

Yang Wei winked at her.

Daphne took her tea and looked aside.

Hanyin asked, "What should I do then?" Oh yes! Go and beg Your Majesty! ”

"I've thought about this," Yang Wei said with a smile, "It's a great idea to take advantage of Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with some of the Sherman family, but this is what I'm going to do next, and now, I have to be in Sakaxing." ”

"Why?" Governor Godoy did not know why.

"The Empire is about to send a dreadnought."

Yang Wei shrugged:

"I haven't experienced how nervous it can be to face the dreadnought's main guns directly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to see if the empire will really give an order to exterminate an imperial hero who has not violated the laws of the empire and has not violated the bottom line of the empire's morality, as well as the tens of millions of imperial people here.

"If you do get to that point, Daphne, you can help me tell Director Eno about it.

"If this step is really taken, the Sherman family needs to take full responsibility, and I will do whatever it takes to avenge the people of my Saka star."

Devany frowned tightly: "Being so strong at this time can't solve any problems, Hanton, we have to find a way to communicate." ”

"Devonie," Yang Wei sighed, "if I take this step back, what will happen next?" You're smarter than I am, you should be able to imagine that they will let me conquer Dominguez today, and I will conquer other countries tomorrow, and I will be the instrument of the Empire to slaughter the weak, and the nobles of the Empire will be complacent and say privately - oh, what an Imperial hero is this, it's nothing more than a dog raised by the Sherman family. Devonie, I'm qualified to be a human now, not a dog. ”

"I understand you, but ......"

"No one can touch my principles, or I'll die in the net."

"Don't you think about your hometown?"

"If I admit defeat and retreat this time, my hometown will really be hopeless," Yang Wei said indifferently, "There is no point in preaching morality with poisonous snakes." ”

Daphne pursed her lips in thought.

"I'm sorry, I can't bring this for you, it's against my interests, I hope you can calm down, and we will seek dialogue to find another way to solve it," Devina said. ”

"It's okay," Yang Wei picked up his watch and looked at it, "In a few minutes, I will post a second video on the whole network." ”

"What do you want to do?" Devine frowned and asked, "This is the time to let public opinion cool down, not add fuel to the fire." ”

"It's okay, I just want to see how far this fire can go."

Yang Wei pursed his lips slightly, tapped twice on the watch, and a projection popped up.

Yang Wei said: "You can see the content in advance, but from the first frame you watch, this video has been released in advance, so don't think about stopping me." ”

Daphne: ......

Godoy and Hanyin Hanxiang had already come over and looked carefully at the picture on the projection screen.

Inside the projection screen is a bust of Yang Wei, wearing his trademark gray-white exoskeleton armor, standing in front of a starry sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes still slightly moist.

"I'm sorry."

The white ghost whispered:

"I can't kill a traitor to the Empire, and I can't hurt my former lover.

Catherine ...... Catherine is an idealist and an Imperial Super Transformation Warrior who thinks about contributing to the Empire and dedicating her life to the Empire all the time.

"She was destined for the end of her life at birth, because this super modified warrior was a human being bred from embryonic beginnings, in order to break through the shackles of human genes and surpass the limits of human beings themselves, so that they could be used by the Imperial Ascension Laboratory to conduct individual ascension experiments.

"These are all very distant topics from everyone, but what I want to say is that individual ascension has always been the pursuit of the highest level of the empire, and it is the pursuit of generations of imperial royals to enter the high-dimensional world, obtain eternal life and endless energy, and enjoy a higher level of life beyond the current dimension.

Catherine was a victim of this goal, and she and her companions were destined to receive the bombardment of energy at the age of thirty or forty, when their own strength was at its peak, and then to become the fate of cosmic dust.

"Therefore, I can understand their betrayal of the Empire, under this kind of high-intensity pressure, they are easily psychologically distorted.

"Here, I would like to implore the Empire, and implore the Empire to be more tolerant of Catherine and Catherine's associates, and not to really regard them as traitors to the Empire...... I'll admit that I'm naïve when I say this, and I'm sorry I shouldn't say this as a white ghost, whose mission is to protect this ancient empire and repel all invading enemies.

"But I really can't do anything to my former lover.

"I have noticed that many people are now attacking, attacking me for slaughtering terrorists, and I must explain that under the circumstances, in order not to let go of a terrorist, so as not to brew greater retaliation in the future and damage the people of the empire, I can only use all my mental strength.

"At that moment, I actually established a correspondence with their minds, and I felt and felt that many people who should be happy and kind were forced to embark on the path of hatred because of some historical problems.

"For a notorious terrorist organization like Chauvin, killing them a hundred or ten thousand times is not enough, but for those potential criminals who may be forced to become terrorists, we actually have many opportunities to save them, and saving them is equivalent to reducing the number of innocent people.

"Now I'm a little confused, and I don't know if my insistence is right or wrong.

"But I firmly believe that the empire I love will live up to my love, the empire carries my ideals, and my ideal is to let everyone have an equal and prosperous life, have human rights that can be respected, have a job that can bring happiness to their families, and have a safe and secure interstellar living space.

"May the empire, which was built with the blood of countless soldiers and countless people, be immortal.

"I am willing to bear all the consequences of letting Catherine go, accept the fair trial given by the Empire, I will wait for the Empire to arrest my army in Saka, and I will not hurt any Imperial soldier who is kind to me."
