"Boss, the fake Edwan has entered the empire's border, and our escort fleet has not been intercepted by the empire.
"The agents of the Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau have secretly tested Edwan's identity. They have determined that he is the person they arranged. No abnormalities in the data were found. Now they have relaxed their vigilance.
"The torch has been raised, all that's left is this fire to light it up."
Lu changed into a dark colored dress and stood behind Yang Ming with her hands behind her back, speaking softly.
Yang Ming was still sitting in the corner of Edwang's dormitory, leaning over to pour himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "How is Princess Lorna now?"
Lu searched the information in his huge database on the spot and immediately said:
"According to what you said, boss, she is living well and is waiting for you to find her.
"She has always had a good reputation in the Foreign Affairs Bureau because she participated in and presided over His Majesty Edwan's affairs. With the rise of Her Majesty Daphne, Princess Lorna has been somewhat marginalized by the aristocratic circle, but for her, life is not bad.
good."
"I originally wanted to assassinate her myself."
Yang Ming chuckled, then shook his head slightly:
"Now that I think about it, forget it, she is actually just a screw under the hegemonic machine of the empire, and a not-too-prominent representative of the Sherman family.
"Give her a decent death later.
"You are a girl, don't be too ugly."
"Yes, boss."
Lu agreed with a serious face.
Yang Ming picked up the tea and took a sip, then looked at the teacup in his hand in trance.
Drinking tea is a habit he developed himself.
It's just that the tea leaves soaked in the water are not the tea he is familiar with, but some similar substitutes, which can also be refreshing, but they don't seem to be called tea.
"Law," Yang Ming asked suddenly, "can we still claim to be righteous now?"
"For the battle of interstellar political systems, justice itself is a false proposition, boss."
"But justice shouldn't be a false proposition," Yang Ming leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, "I'm going to take a rest. Call me if you need anything."
Law responded gently.
The next thing has a set of rules that have been deduced tens of thousands of times. In fact, she can handle it directly without the boss having to do anything.
…
[The Emperor of the Luofeng Empire and Chairman of the Luofeng Alliance Council, Edwang, has arrived at the Golden Rong Star in the Imperial Star Circle.]
Catherine looked at the text message that popped up on the communicator at hand, and sat there deep in thought.
She was in a completely transparent office. Outside was a busy command hall. Hundreds of people's workstations were arranged in a somewhat chaotic manner, but each order was always delivered in an orderly manner.
There is no need for Catherine to charge into battle now.
She only needs to wear a cool combat uniform, sit in her office, press a few buttons occasionally, and participate in some meetings to make the organization run efficiently.
In this underground base where Catherine is located, radiation controls sixty-two imperial resistance organizations;
These organizations have a total of more than 26.92 million 'members', and their areas of activity cover planets across the empire's borders.
As long as Catherine gives the order, more than 1,200 old ships of various types, tens of millions of land and ship combat robots, and more than 8 million well-trained anti-imperial warriors will be deployed on the imperial border thirty
The two main administrative stars launched armed struggles simultaneously, burning the sparks across the empire's borders.
Yes, compared to the terrifying size of the Sherman Empire, these powers that Catherine mastered were indeed only a spark.
Catherine originally thought that her greatest role was to be the vanguard of the commando team.
But under the auspices of Ritsu, she has now become the spiritual leader of the resistance organization. She is an imperial goddess of war who has been given various attributes. She is a new goddess who brings hope to the empire and brings hope to the people at home and abroad who are oppressed by the empire.
leader.
Catherine always felt that she was not made to be a leader, but Hanton was;
It is entirely because of the mysterious and powerful mechanical thinking body, which is in line with the empire's entire defense system, and the support of 'that man's' best assistant, Xiaolu, that she can properly handle these extremely complex matters.
Under Ritsu's arrangement, she also became the core figure of the "Flame" project.
The goal of this "Flame" plan is to unify the empire's border resistance organizations, develop base areas in most areas of the empire's borders, promote anti-imperial ideas, and gradually win the support of those people who live on the edge of the empire and are themselves poor.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
Under the pressure of the Empire's powerful starship fleet, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on these poor planets to overthrow the Empire.
But as long as these flames are lit, these flames can burn through the ideological territory of the people of the empire in a short period of time.
Law once said:
‘The most important purpose of this plan is not to attract more military power from the empire.
'The most important thing is that the resistance base we established can exist stably and continuously, becoming a threat to the empire, providing one more choice for the people of the empire, and giving the people of the empire the idea that they can survive well even without the protection of the empire.'
'Removing the people's dependence on the Empire is the core goal of Project Flame.'
Now, their plan has advanced to the most critical step.
All it takes is a moment;
An appropriate time to maximize the effectiveness of the "Flame" plan;
And this time...
Boom!
Another message popped up:
[The Emperor of the Sherman Empire sent several members of the royal family to receive the emperors of the affiliated countries, and a grand dinner will be held on Jinrong Star.]
This time is coming soon.
…
Empire, Emperor Star Circle, the capital of Jinrong Star, one of the main administrative stars closest to the Emperor Star.
Above the sea, a luxurious and exaggerated 'starship palace' floats quietly.
This palace seems to be made of colorful crystals. It is in the shape of a disk, surrounded by hundreds of rings from top to bottom. There is a small city inside that can accommodate 100,000 people.
Here are the famous attractions on Jinrong Star:
When the starlight shines on this starship palace, a soft natural halo will appear around the palace, and the entire starship is decorated with countless works of art inside to become a dream palace.
This is the first choice venue for many big nobles to hold weddings, but the price is a bit expensive, and hereditary earls with insufficient family backgrounds cannot afford to hold a banquet here.
Now, the starship palace is the venue for entertaining the emperors of the dependent countries.
The banquet for two galactic periods is now being prepared in full swing.
Count Revell, wearing an imperial tuxedo, was standing in a corner of the palace, staring at the mist beneath his feet, thinking about some troublesome things.
After the White Ghost incident, Revell rarely attended gatherings of imperial nobles.
"Count Revell!"
Hearty laughter floated from behind, and Artero, dressed in a white military uniform, walked quickly with a glass of champagne.
"Why are you here in a daze? Several princes held a small party, and there were more than ten models brought from the Guel Alliance!"
Revell looked at this guy helplessly.
He was disgusted with the intelligence chief of the Military Intelligence Agency, but this guy was indeed useful to his family.
Therefore, Revell could only be patient and showed a faint smile: "I don't like this kind of occasion very much. Some of my maids are of Guel blood, so it's not surprising."
"Wow!"
Artero leaned on the railing, raised his eyebrows at Revell, and said in a low voice:
"Have you received all the orders given by His Majesty?"
"Yeah," Revell nodded, "but it doesn't make any sense."
Artero asked back: "How could it be meaningless?"
Revell's fair and handsome face showed a little disdain: "Your Majesty asked me to take the initiative to speak and perform well here, so that I can have the opportunity to be promoted and reused... What is the meaning of this? I am a hereditary earl, not an honorary earl, hereditary
The Count wants to be promoted unless he saves the entire galaxy."
"Hahaha," Artero was amused by Revell, "Saving the galaxy is too much. Saving tens of billions of people is almost enough. But the current development direction of the empire is to suppress the nobles."
"If we really want to suppress the nobility, the empire has ten thousand ways to make the aristocracy disappear."
Revell sighed:
"I am an unjust person.
"The aristocracy of the empire are unjust people."
"oh!"
Artro glanced around subconsciously, moved closer to Revell, and whispered:
"My Earl, please don't shout these words directly. I know that about 20% of the nobility in the empire now feel that they are a class that oppresses the common people. The existence of the nobility is to facilitate the rule of the Sherman family.
empire.
"I can't tell whether this is a case of idle moaning or an overflow of ideas about the Holy Mother.
"The empire has always been like this, isn't it?
"We were born in the Sherman Empire, we are part of the Sherman Empire, and we can make the Empire better in our own way."
Revel stared at Atero: "Will the Empire get better?"
"no doubt?"
"What about my idol? What about the white ghost? If I remember correctly, you have always said that you are the ghost's best friend, but now, you don't even mention it?"
Revell's gaze was a bit compelling.
Deputy Director Atro's smile was slightly stiff.
Artero sighed and said in a deep voice:
"This matter is very complicated, but in the final analysis, Hanton wanted to take a dangerous path, and this path has shaken the rule of the round table, so he was suppressed.
“But Hanton’s starting point should also be to make the empire better.
"You are very similar to Hanton, but there are many differences. You carry your own family on your back. Revell, you don't have this kind of willfulness - I'm sorry, I used this word to be somewhat offensive, but in my opinion, Hanton
Many of Dun's actions were very willful.
"If you want to change this country, why not wait a little longer? Wouldn't it be enough to wait until you have more accumulation and voice, and can really make decisions for the empire? Then you can do this?"
Revell suddenly laughed and whispered: "Deputy Director Artero."
"What?"
"The empire has existed for tens of thousands of years. I don't know how many people have compromised like you, and the final result of compromise is assimilation and erosion."
Revell's eyes became a little distant:
"I admit, there is nothing I can do.
"After learning that my idol had been attacked, I excitedly wanted to lead my private army into the Emperor's Star and question the royal family about what they were going to do, but I was stopped by the elders in my family and my butler.
"That's just a waste of money.
"I am a coward, with weakness in my character. I have a starting point that is higher than most of my peers, but I can still only hide in the shadow of my ancestors. I am submissive and not worth mentioning. I am like a useless coward.
."
Artero was silent.
"I can only say," Revell sighed, "Your Majesty really made a mistake in choosing me. After this banquet, I will return to my own territory and be a stable and happy rich man from now on."
Spend the rest of your life peacefully."
Artero whispered: "Isn't this a compromise?"
"This is a coward's escape, Deputy Director."
Revell bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the banquet not far away.
Although the banquet would not be officially held for more than a galaxy, he wanted to go in early and find a corner to sit in, which would reduce a lot of meaningless social interactions.
Artero stood there quietly, leaning against the transparent wall, and drank the champagne in his hand bit by bit.
"So what's meaningful?"
He shrugged, adjusted himself, and continued to be the most eye-catching boy in the aristocratic gathering.
A few minutes later.
Revell, who was a little bored, turned on the projection function of the Internet terminal, opened a book-shaped projection screen in front of him, and began to browse network information to pass the time.
Under the hype of many major forces, attention inside and outside the empire has gathered here.
The media of the New Confederacy held various programs non-stop to detail the persecution of the Sherman Empire to various dependent countries;
The rest of the anti-imperial camp is also using all its power to try to prevent this 'vampire dinner' from being held through public opinion;
Under the offensive of public opinion, its own interests were about to be seriously damaged, and under the instigation of various forces, armed riots of varying degrees broke out in various tributary states of the empire.
There are even some radical armed groups that have begun to attack the capital of the vassal country, and have announced in a high-profile manner that they will not recognize any promises made by their emperor and any treaties signed.
The Imperial Military Department had already prepared for this situation.
According to their respective combat plans, the two major battle groups that had previously gathered at the border of the Luofeng Empire were 'fissured' into twenty 'subordinate country support armed forces', consisting of three hundred to five hundred main battleships to form a strengthened formation.
, heading to the border of the subject country with the loudest opposition.
What conspirators believe is that the political game between the empire and its client states may be extremely complicated, with all kinds of intrigues, intrigues, and strategies;
The actual political game: sail the ship over, and beat them until they do not obey. Survival or destruction is a simple multiple-choice question.
'The empire's powerful military force.'
Revell sighed and heard several calls in his ears. He looked up and saw that he was a "husband and dog friend" whom he hadn't seen for a while. A pleasant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
Before I knew it, a long time had passed and the banquet venue was already filled with men and women.
Each main participant is allowed to bring a female or male companion;
Everyone was so beautiful and handsome, and those deliberately lowered conversations converged into a devil's whisper, constantly surrounding the spacious main banquet hall;
Generals of the Sherman Empire's military headquarters, elders of the Presbytery, and officials from government departments can be seen everywhere here, and there are already dancing figures on the dance floor.
'How much does this party cost?'
Revell thought about this question in his mind, then shook his head and joked a few words with his friend who came over to chat.
There were still ten minutes to count down to the banquet, and a group of princes, dukes, and retired generals entered the venue. All of them, either white-haired or elegant emperors of tributary countries of the empire, walked across the red carpet and entered the venue.
A figure naturally became the centerpiece of this banquet, and Revell and his companions couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Edwang, Emperor of the Luofeng Empire.
"Wow, His Majesty Edwan is so young. His Luofeng Alliance is said to be as powerful as the top ten powers in the galaxy."
"It's just a regional alliance. It will fall apart if it encounters strong pressure. Don't worry too much."
"So they are equivalent."
"Revel? What's wrong with you? Staring at His Majesty Edwan... have you changed your mind now? His Majesty's figure is really good, and the sight of his butt makes me a little hot."
"Get out!"
Revell glared at a certain hereditary viscount who was smiling strangely next to him, then he pondered for a few times without saying anything.
This is unreasonable.
Revell looked at Edwan who was chatting and laughing with the two princes there. He stared at Edwan's expression carefully, and the questions in his heart popped up one after another.
This Edwan always made him feel a little weird.
Ding ding, dong dong, a subscription message popped up at the Internet terminals of several young nobles at the same time.
They all subscribe to...White Ghost Official Support Club.
[Successfully scheduled live broadcast].
[White Ghost live broadcast countdown: 1 standard hour, 6 standard minutes, 34 standard seconds].
Several people looked up at each other, and then looked at each other.
The news quickly spread throughout the banquet. Although the music did not stop and the figures on the dance floor were still squirming ambiguously, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly dropped by half.
"ha!"
Revell suddenly laughed, attracting many eyes.
The young earl, who had been sitting in the corner before, now unconsciously raised his chest and raised his head, and his handsome young face and long golden curly hair were dyed with a bit of luster.
"Let's go, brothers, let's go socialize together."
