Today, the Twilight Empire announced a long-term basic national policy - "One Country, Two Kings", in an attempt to persuade Festering Island to negotiate peace with it. The official said this:

There is only one Twilight Empire in the world, and the Twilight Island is an integral part of the Twilight Empire. The central government is in the "Waiting City". This is a fact recognized by the world of Qiankun, and it is also the prerequisite for peaceful resolution of the Twilight Island problem. The Twilight Empire government firmly opposes any purpose

In terms of words and deeds that split the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the empire, we oppose "two empires", "one yellow and one collapse" or "one country, two governments", and all attempts and actions that may lead to the "corruption of the island".

So what will happen after unification?

Based on taking care of the current situation of the island and the actual interests of the compatriots on the island, after the reunification of the two sides, the current social and economic system of the island will remain unchanged, the lifestyle will remain unchanged, and the economic and cultural relations with foreign countries will remain unchanged, such as private property, houses...

All are protected by law. After unification, Canker Island will become a special administrative region. It is different from other general cities in the empire and enjoys a high degree of autonomy. Pythagoras has administrative power, legislative power, and independent judicial power in Canker Island.

power and final adjudication; manage party, government, military, economic, financial and other matters by themselves; can sign business, cultural and other agreements with foreign countries, and enjoy certain foreign affairs powers; have their own army, the bone tyrant does not send troops or administrative

Personnel are stationed on the island. Representatives from the special administrative region government and all walks of life on the island can also assume leadership positions in state power agencies and participate in the management of national affairs.

Finally, the official empire also made an appeal: Achieving national reunification in a peaceful manner through contact and negotiation is the common wish of all the people of the Twilight Empire. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are undead creatures. If the empire is divided because of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the empire, there will be a war.

Meeting each other and killing each other is extremely unfortunate for the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Peaceful reunification is conducive to the great unity of the entire Necron nation, is conducive to the social and economic stability and development of Canker Island, and is conducive to the revitalization and prosperity of the entire Twilight Empire.

Hearing this declaration, King Bigbow laughed: "What! It seems that June Sunshine is not stupid, but I believe that Pythagoras is not stupid either. By the way, I remember producing 'Shattered Silver'

After the armament, we replaced the old weapons that could arm about 70,000 people."

The steward standing beside him immediately understood what His Majesty meant, shook his head and said: "The amount is too large, which can easily cause a violent backlash from the Twilight Empire, and the Festering Island may not be able to get enough money."

"Then let's exchange for something with more strategic significance, such as thirty ballistas or catapults for defending the city? Even if Festering Island has no money, I will accept installment payment. That's it. Just ask those families,

Who can come up with two million? Whoever can come up with it, his people will be responsible for sending envoys to Festering Island, and after returning to the country, they will join the Ministry of Internal Affairs and will not be transferred within three years."

The manager remained silent. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was a very wealthy place, and it was often in contact with major families and chambers of commerce. Even a pig staying there for three years could definitely earn back two million. It was just a mission to Festering Island.

At the same time, he must accept the death threat from the "Purple Named One". This errand...

"Tell them to rest assured. I would bet a duke's title that the sunshine in June will not dare to touch our people." The king was full of confidence.

Bigbowo, the capital.

An extraordinary new opera is being staged at the Grand Theater, and the auditorium is packed with people. Because it tells an exotic story, the troupe specially invited Astante's "Imaginary" Master Secabuscu to serve as the music director.

Five minutes after the performance started, every audience member deeply agreed with the troupe's decision, because only Sekabuscu could perfectly interpret a new fantasy world.

Now, the heartstrings of all the audience are tightened, because the princess ate the poisonous apple and fell to the ground, while the prince held her body and sang sadly. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, but no one knew.

In the small space under the stage that is specially used to store the special effects props needed for the performance, someone was having a secret conversation.

"Your work efficiency is very high, but Lin Bei'ai, ink-stained lotus stains, cicadas chirping at night, no stress when struggling, returning late at dusk... Which of these people is what Oskel is looking for?"

Holding a long list, the minister asked his subordinates. His voice was so penetrating that no matter how high-pitched the male singer's voice above was, it could not cover up every word he said.

He asked, but no one dared to answer because they didn't want to die so soon.

It was obvious that Oskol was trying to spread suspicion. He had known for a long time that some of his stings had been exposed, so he gave each stump a different name to confuse the Intelligence Department. He successfully created a

There is a fake list of hundreds of people, and now the intelligence minister is furious.

Another thing that caused chaos in the intelligence department also happened: the tools of the undead creatures specially used for communication-the ravens of death-have flown all over the country in the past few days and landed on various buildings in large numbers. Therefore, the intelligence department

The number of targets that need to be tracked and monitored suddenly increased by tens of thousands, and the workload within the department suddenly increased, so much so that every member of the department worked overtime until they had a nervous breakdown. It was obvious that this was another case of spreading suspicion. In the past, the Intelligence Department relied on silence to survive.

The crow's landing point was used to locate hidden stakes, and this method was reversely used by Oskel, making it useless.

Now, the Intelligence Department is completely passive. It doesn't know who is the hidden stake, nor who Oskol is looking for. How to find the target first in this situation? It is completely impossible, because the Intelligence Department has no idea about the target.

That man knew nothing, not even the slightest clue!

After a long time, the minister handed over the list to his subordinates and said: "Okay, gentlemen, we have to admit that we lost this time. Oscol was much more cunning than imagined and wanted to overthrow

He's not going to be easy. The hidden stakes we've got can stay in place (if they're not dead yet), and we no longer suspect someone through the Death Raven."

"This list?..." asked the subordinate.

"Keep checking."

Although I know that 99.9% of the people on this list are smoke bombs, but maybe there are real targets mixed in? After all, Oscol’s layout this time is very detailed. It should not be to trick the Intelligence Department, but to find someone (this

There is a high chance that people will appear in the territory of Big Bow); no matter how powerful he is, it is difficult for him to complete the task as quickly as possible by himself. In the end, Oskel will definitely make good use of hidden stakes, because he has no other

Channels can be used to find targets. Although it may seem passive to keep an eye on everyone on this list, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Although we lost the first battle, the day that decides the outcome has not yet come."

After the minister finished speaking, warm applause came from outside, which was very shocking.

Another day has passed.

While waiting for Oskel to return the information, Qingyi has been teaching Anigir all kinds of knowledge that a king should have, and trying to cultivate his adopted son's character in the direction of a king. To his relief, Anigir sees the problem

His vision is very unique, and he can often see the essence directly, which makes it difficult for him to be deceived or concealed. This is what makes him far better than his peers, and it also reminds Qingyi many times of someone who has firm beliefs but does not blindly follow them.

Subordinates.

It's strange that Anigir, like that subordinate, has a kind of natural and detached temperament without sadness or joy. He never takes his own life and death seriously. The subordinate died with a smile, while Anigir died with a smile.

Nigel also calmly accepted the fact that "he is aging rapidly and his life will not be long". Now, Nigel reads books day and night and absorbs knowledge desperately, which is quite a bit like "you will die if you learn the truth in the morning".

"Dad, why do you say 'respect life' and kill people at the same time?" Anigir asked curiously again. "Don't you think this is hypocritical? Why do you go against your own nature and preach

Some empty words that even you yourself are secretly laughing at?”

"This... look!" Qingyi pointed to the sky and said in an exaggerated tone: "There is a zombie flying!"

Anigir immediately turned his head and looked nervously: "Dad, pick me up quickly! Where is it? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Well, Dad, you are lying!"

Qingyi laughed loudly. Although this child is not easily deceived, he always falls for such low-level pranks. I really don’t know whether to call him smart or stupid.

Anigir's expression was quite depressed. He would not curl his lips or puff up his cheeks like other children. He looked at Qingyi helplessly: "Dad, can you be more mature? Don't run away from my questions!"

"Okay then. I have thought about this question over and over again. Is the nature of undead creatures to be bloodthirsty? No. It is me who is bloodthirsty, not the entire undead tribe. However, I have also told you

, a king cannot use his own likes and dislikes as the starting point for decision-making when managing a country. I cannot lead the entire Twilight Empire to waste lives because of my 'evil'."

"Dad, I don't agree with you. The style of any organization will be similar to its leader. For example, a lazy general will lead an army with undisciplined military discipline, while a brave general will lead an army that dares to charge and kill.

The army in front. Every Necron Empire is a highly centralized country, therefore, your character and temperament will seriously affect the Twilight Empire."

"No, kid, you think you successfully refuted me, but in fact you just helped me argue. If you think about it carefully, are you and I actually talking about the same thing?"

Anigir raised his head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Oh, you are right. It is precisely because you have seriously affected the empire that you have to start respecting life. But isn't this going against the nature of undead creatures?"

"Are you afraid of death?" Qingyi asked back.

"Afraid."

"I'm also afraid, and very afraid, because once I die, I can't come back. I cherish my own life, and I also cherish your lives, so I respect life." Qingyi thought about when he picked up Anigir, and also said:

The enemy who was about to dissipate spit out the words "respect life". "The undead creatures are not murderous, but only their own life is the most precious in their eyes. Similarly, my 'evil' is only aimed at the enemy, and 'respect'

Life' is not contrary to that."

"That means..."

"Yes, I will never respect the lives of my enemies, because my enemies never respect me. They will accuse me while looking for opportunities to completely eliminate me. You must remember that when you talk about humanitarianism with your enemies, you only

It's just trying to save a frozen snake, or a wolf being chased by a hunter. I'll tell you two related fables later. But for people other than your enemies, you might as well be more generous.

After all, killing is just a means, but not our goal. And my goal is also very simple..."

Qingyi let out a long breath.

I just want you all to survive.
Chapter completed!
