Chapter 842: The Emperor Who Escaped
The three-day celebration of the Garden of Hope soon came to an end, and like the previously scheduled Jihua, Wei Chimu, the titular envoy, left the academy and began to travel around the Western Continent to visit, investigate, and study all over the country for an almost indefinite period. Although Alicia saw that the identity of the messenger was fake, she was not troubled or questioned by the little queen, and even gave him a makeshift fleet to help the dragons of the north clean up the mess, without the slightest concern.
Although Alicia's actions filled Wei Chimu's heart with gratitude, the young general still insisted on continuing the situation in front of him, and did not accept the advice of the adjutant and his subordinates to simply serve under the command of the little queen.
Wei Chimu's family is still in the Eastern Continent, even if Gongsun Yi didn't embarrass them after cleaning up Wei Chimu, he would definitely not give them a good life. If Wei Chi Mu can establish a good relationship with the leaders of the countries in the Western Continent during his visit, then when the teleportation arrays of the Eastern and Western Continents are connected and the two sides establish diplomatic relations, this relationship will cause Gongsun Yi to have a lot of scruples, thus helping Yu Chi Mu block a lot of troubles and give him the opportunity to find a way to settle his family.
At that time, it would not be too late to resign from the Ming Empire and join Alicia, but at least, not now.
But things are always unexpected. Two days after Yu Chimu left the Garden of Hope, Alicia received an urgent notice in the activity room of the soy sauce department after school.
The one in charge of running errands was the uncle who was promoted to the exclusive internal affairs officer by the little queen on the day of the school anniversary. After he hurriedly pushed it open without knocking on the door, he saw Fabiano, a close friend of Queen Bixia, falling to the floor with tears streaming down his face. And the boy's lower abdomen sits a girl named Cecilia - of course, if that's the case, it's just the most commonplace cheerful, enthusiastic and bold childhood sweetheart cute girl who is actively pushing back her little haode scene. There was nothing to make a fuss about, but, apart from the two, there was a tsundere double-ponytail girl named Karina, who was trying to maintain her noble and virtuous image, but was in fact anxious like a cat scratch, and she was scolding her with all her might, but Cecilia seemed to be completely ignoring her.
Yes, this is the legendary extremely classic Shura field!
"I'm sorry, I know what's going on. The official nodded apologetically at the few people who had stopped their movements because of their indiscriminate incursion, and said, "I must have made a mistake in the way I opened it." β
With that, he retreated and returned to the hallway. He also closed the door softly.
Seconds later, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in. Alicia, who was sitting on the sofa and holding Remy to watch the show, immediately said loudly.
The uncle pushed the door open again, but it was all too unremarkable. So much so that none of the three Shura field trio who were embarrassed by Lei were able to come back to their senses in time, and they still maintained their original posture as they did just now.
"Wait a minute, since they all said that the way of opening was wrong, then you should sit on the chair immediately after I go out and close the door, right?" said the official uncle as he looked at Fabiano and the others with hatred on his face. "What is it like to keep the pestle in place like a wooden man?"
Sophie Adam immediately half-covered her mouth with a folding fan and chuckled, "Ahhhhh Alicia, you've really promoted a pretty interesting person. By the way, this is the consistent style of your Birea Empire?"
"The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked...... Oh no, it's thanks to my example. Alicia rubbed Remy's big ponytail in her arms and replied, "Well, let's not mention this yet. (Turning to the uncle) Is there anything to do with me?"
Seeing that he was about to get down to business, the uncle also decisively changed his serious expression, took out a document and respectfully handed it to Alicia: "Queen Bixia." This is an urgent briefing from Chebel City. β
"It's 'urgent' instead of 'urgent', and it doesn't seem to be too serious. Since Remy was always curious, he raised his hand to snatch the document. Alicia simply stuffed her baby daughter into the arms of Elijah, who was sitting nearby, and then slowly opened the papers, "Let me see what the hell is going on?"
Maybe after the two got married in a few years and the queen Bixia gave birth to her real heir, I am afraid it will be a similar situation when she deals with government affairs while taking care of the children, right? The official uncle was embarrassed and looked at the interaction between the two with great satisfaction, but he didn't say anything, just quietly waited for the little queen to take the lead in giving instructions.
"Alicia, what's written on this?" Perhaps attracted by this urgent document, Cecilia finally let go of her childhood sweetheart, got up and walked up to the blonde girl and asked curiously.
The few members of the soy sauce ministry do not have the concept of "state secrets", and they will always talk about these things as if they were daily. For example, Michelle, such as Elijah, such as this genius alchemy girl, and such as Elysia as the queen......
I saw that the blonde girl immediately nodded her head lightly, closed the file and said, "Well, it looks like something big is going to happen, and it's a pretty serious thing." It's just that it has nothing to do with us at the moment. β
"What do you mean by that?" Chassi, who was doing his homework with Sun Xiang on a nearby table, couldn't help but raise his head and join the conversation, "It's a serious matter, and it has nothing to do with us?
"It's a big trouble and it has nothing to do with human lifeβat least it seems to beβand so on. Alicia raised her index finger and shook it gently, "For example, the greenhouse effect has caused the ice to melt so that polar bears have no food and have to starve to death, a large number of hunts have brought a certain animal to the brink of extinction, the unscrupulous dumping of wastewater into the sea has completely destroyed the ecological balance of the neighborhood, and the deforestation has left many birds homeless, and Zuihou has to enter the city to collect leftovers...... Therefore, I would not be surprised that the human city on the Blue Star will be attacked tomorrow by the little monsters that represent the wrath of nature. β
"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but it feels like it's really serious. Cecilia patted her cheek vigorously and regained her curious expression, "I see what you mean." So what's going on?"
While Alicia happily went to Sister Cannon's side to play the magical girl, and the coalition forces on the continent of Teranmere and the Dark Empire were in a stalemate, the eastern continent was constantly busy. The Ming Empire's experiments on teleportation arrays became more and more frequent, and the connection with the teleportation arrays of the allied forces in Chebel City became more and more solid. At any time, a new door to the space may be officially erected.
However, just when Zuihou was about to kick the door, the experiment on the Eastern Continent was inexplicably suspended.
Maybe it's because the budget is not enough? Since it has nothing to do with the coalition war, the person in charge of the teleportation array in Chebel City didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't pay attention to it after casually reporting it. However, yesterday, the teleportation array of the coalition forces once again had a strong resonance under the influence of the Eastern Continent. This time the movement was very loud, and it seemed like it was teleporting directly. It's just that due to a period of cooling, the interference and connection between the two sides have weakened a lot compared to before, and the spatial gate has not been successfully erected.
Worse. Although the construction of the Space Gate was declared a failure, various indications and observations indicated that the Ming Empire's teleportation was successful. This wasn't a terrible thing in the first place, but Chebel City's teleportation array was connected to the opponent's device to a certain extent. After they teleported, they were not too far apart, at most they fell into the sea and swam and were rescued by the coalition warships - but the problem is that there seems to be a slight deviation in the process, and the other party's teleportation position is not in the territory controlled by the coalition forces. That's on the devil's side......
"What a wretched bunch. Sophia said in a mournful tone with a fan covering most of her face. "May the creator gods bless their chrysanthemums from the muscular bat wings. β
Granna, who was standing behind the pink princess, decisively slapped a knife on the top of the former's head.
"In other words, the one who teleported over this time is the envoy of the Eastern Continent in the true sense, right? Chasi had already given up the homework book in front of him and focused on the conversation, "Alicia, do you want to send a force to try to rescue them?" Unlike General Wei Chimu, these people can help the alliance and the Ming Empire to contact and establish diplomatic relations. Now that the situation in Teranmir cannot be opened for the time being, if the Ariake Empire joins the battle, the situation will immediately change dramatically. β
"You're right, Chasi. The silver-haired girl's words were deeply accepted by everyone. Unexpectedly, Alicia shook her head lightly indifferently, "But my concern is another issue. Don't you think the Ming Empire's actions on the teleportation array are a little strange? Although there are various factors that make it possible for the project to be stopped, and it is a matter for others to stop without permission, we don't care about it, but why do we suddenly start the teleportation in a hurry without doing any practice?"
Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought when they heard this, even Remy, who was in Ilya's arms, also had a cute expression of frowning on her chubby little face.
William, who was sitting on the windowsill basking in the sun leisurely, suddenly took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Could it be that the Ming Empire is in trouble? In my hometown, when people hunt, they will observe the entrances and exits around their prey's nest and which road it usually takes when hunting, and then set up traps on this road, block other roads and use various methods to drive away the prey, so that the panicked it subconsciously chooses to escape from the road it often takes, and it just falls into the trap. I suspect that the Ming Empire is probably in a similar situation. First, some kind of sudden crisis forced them to suspend the experiment and concentrate on coping, and then when the crisis expanded out of control, all means were ineffective, and they remembered that they could use the teleportation array to try their luck to contact the Western Continent and ask for help, so they hurriedly didn't bother to take the time to adjust and directly teleported. That's what you care about, Alythea, right?"
The little queen immediately nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. The other party's actions were so unnatural that I couldn't help but care. Moreover, according to Wei Chimu, the Eastern Continent had just defeated the demons and recovered the occupied territory, and it was time to recuperate. This continent was once only one step away from being completely conquered by that group of muscular men under Randy's planning, if it weren't for the appearance of the Wei Chi family and Randy's strategic goal on the western continent without paying much attention. Now I am afraid that it has long been reduced to the second dark empire. β
Sophia roughly understood something, but was still very puzzled: "Alicia, we all know that thanks to your efforts, you have managed to contain many of Randy's liliang in the Western Continent. So that he couldn't take care of the Eastern Continent. But does that have anything to do with the topic we're talking about today?"
"Of course there is!" said the blonde girl seriously, raising her hand to play with the strands of hair wrapped around her shoulders, "I think you've all heard the phrase 'persimmons should be picked up and pinched first', right?"
The pink princess suddenly understood everything, and the fan in her hand slipped down on the spot, revealing the pretty face full of shocked expressions hidden behind: "It's difficult, can you say!?"
"Yes, since the demon dares to send troops to risk landing and invading even the Western Continent, which has not been unified for a long time but has developed peacefully for a long time, how can he let go of the weak Ming Empire?"
As Alicia said, Ulrik sent invasion troops to both the East and West continents in the Land of Despair. The navy of the Ming Empire was eating the old bottom of the previous dynasty. After more than 100 years, most of the warships have fallen into a state of aging and urgently need to be decommissioned and replaced. Therefore, despite their superiority in the number of warships, they were still broken through the defense line and attacked by the demons with cannon fodder monsters.
I have to admit that after years of fighting. The strength of some units in the army of the Ming Empire became quite strong. Under the leadership of General Lin Yunfei, Wei Chimu's mentor and elder, the Ming army did inflict heavy losses on the demon army that advanced after the landing, and was even forced to retreat sharply backwards for a time.
But these elite soldiers were all trained by Lin Yunfei and Wei Chimu in the battle, and the number was limited. And Lin Yunfei, who was supposed to be a lieutenant and retired leisurely to enjoy his old age when he returned to the dynasty, suddenly fell ill due to overwork in the fierce and cruel battle. The pillars of the Ming Empire finally collapsed.
Gongsun Yi never expected that the demon clan would come so quickly. Almost as soon as the other side had recovered the land occupied by the other side, the fleet of batwings over there drove over, without giving him the slightest time to prepare. However, he didn't worry too much at first, after all, this was only a force transported by the fleet, and there was a lot of cannon fodder in it, even if the peasants could use the hoes and use the piles to kill the other party.
Until the frontline army discovered the teleportation array that the demon had already set up.
Jason's invasion of the Western Continent was unsuccessful, in other words, the demon's forces could now be fully concentrated on attacking the Eastern Continent. The steady stream of enemy reinforcements not only exhausted Lin Feiyun and eventually fell ill, but also depleted the most elite part of the Ming army.
Then the front collapsed.
The Ming Empire did have a considerable amount of strength, and Jishu did not lag much behind the Western Continent. In addition to advanced firearms, there are even steam airships that resemble air warships; The Ming Empire still had a few Dao cultivators whose personal strength was enough to rival Yelena. However, firearms are only suitable for dealing with cannon fodder, and they are expensive, and the finances of the Ming Empire, which has not been able to develop for a long time, are simply not able to support large-scale equipment; as for those cultivators, they are very strong, but the masters of the demons are also not weak.
In the face of absolute and brutal force, any gorgeous art and culture is useless. Let the cute girl sing a song can cause the enemy to be chaotic, surrender and collapse, and finally win the decisive battle, or something, it will only appear in the two-dimensional shijie.,In reality, whether it's economic development or cultural exchanges,,You need enough force as a guarantee.γ
Today's Ming Empire does not have this kind of guarantee. The ancient and profound culture of the Eastern Continent has once again been ravaged by demons.
Gongsun Yi abandoned the coastal territory, and the teleportation array experimental team based there was forced to abort the project and was immediately disbanded - the emperor had no spare money to play any more space transfer. But soon, as the demons advanced like a bamboo, these researchers, who had planned to return to their hometown to get married, were unexpectedly ordered to be gathered again.
It's just that Gongsun Yi didn't let them do experiments happily. The Emperor prepared all the necessary equipment for the researchers, but did not give them time. After hastily completing the debugging preparations, these older leftover men and women who attempted marriage had to open the teleportation array under strict orders, and then ......
In the stunned gaze with his jaw dropping all over the ground, he watched Gongsun Yi lead a small number of elite guards and a large amount of treasure to disappear into the teleportation array where the exact location could not be accurately set.
Yes, the emperor of the Ming Empire actually left behind the soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles on the front line and the many people who were hoping that he could find a way to defeat the demons and fled alone!
No, it can't be said exactly to be an escape. Although there was only a slight possibility, Gongsun Yi still hoped that he could meet Shili from the Western Continent and ask them for help. Of course, this is not for the people, but for Gongsun Yi's own throne. And even if he loses his land and is forced to wander, he is still determined to liberate the country and save the people, this image must earn a lot of tears and sympathy.
It's a pity that Gongsun Yi's current foothold is in the demon's territory...... (To be continued......)
