Somkes was a little confused.

He felt that something terrible must have happened.

Otherwise, how could the goal of the exercise be set so outrageously?

Even if aliens invade, they still need to defeat the aliens head-on?

Such a large warship, flying in the sky, must have artillery with a larger caliber?

As a talented royal child, Somkes was keenly aware that it was extremely foolish to fight such a behemoth head-on.

Perhaps breaking it into pieces and engaging in guerrilla warfare or destroying the other party's plans is the right way to go?

Oh, those stupid civil servants really believe that the Imperial Guards can be invincible with their courage and the emperor's blessing, right?

Because of environmental reasons.

The intelligent civilizations on this planet first established small city-states.

The largest of these city-states have a population of four to five thousand, while the smaller ones only have a population of seven or eight hundred.

It belongs to the standard acquaintance political and social environment.

In such an environment, the system of independent bureaucrats who were subordinate to the emperor and helped the emperor manage the territory did not begin to sprout until the Age of Discovery.

It was not until the Somme Empire was established that it was truly established and implemented.

Because of this, all the shortcomings of the civil service system on Aquamarine Planet exist.

The Som Empire had it, and it was even more serious.

That is to say, the emperor of the Som Empire is really special. He can always turn the tide at critical moments and forcefully extend his life.

But even so.

The civil servants of the empire, in the minds of young people who are somewhat ambitious for revenge, have the image of a group of rotten and evil villains.

It was they who deceived His Majesty the Emperor and deceived the superiors and subordinates, which caused the Som Empire to be in war and made young talents like them feel depressed.

"The title of the exercise was chosen by His Majesty."

It seemed that the senior officers of the Guards were shocked.

The bureaucrats who came on behalf of the royal family quickly moved away from the golden signboard of the emperor.

Then, at noon.

The people of the Imperial Capital of the Somme Empire were surprised to see a large number of Imperial Guards dispatched, marching in formation and leaving the Imperial Capital.

Many people speculated whether there was another rebellion somewhere.

Only some wealthy families vaguely speculated that it might be related to the UFOs discovered in the planetarium.

Some people started to make preparations and let some people leave the imperial capital first and go to the country manor.

As a general, Somkes stood on a steam armored vehicle and watched the new battalion he led form a square military formation under the bright sun, dripping with sweat.

Even though this military formation is placed on Aquamarine, it may not even be as good as a high school student who has only had military training for a week.

In the Som Empire, this level is already excellent.

It shows that Somkes is an excellent military training leader.

The exercise position is near a volcano near the imperial capital.

This volcano is named the Holy Mountain, and in a sense it is a sacred place in the hearts of the Som people.

In ancient times, it was indeed this volcano that provided enough fertile land and warm temperatures, making the crops here rare and highly productive. It also nurtured the tribes at the foot of the mountains, allowing them to become the strongest civilized tribe on the planet.

And finally, through many changes, it became the current empire.

"The Holy Mountain will protect us."

Looking at the majestic volcano that seemed to be right in front of him, Somkes thought of the dozens of wives at home.

He whispered, seeming to cheer himself up.

At this moment.

A skinny monkey-like general ran over on an elk-like mount.

The general approached Somkes, his face full of envy:

"Case, you are really lucky this time!"

"Um?"

Somkes was slightly startled, not sure why.

"Did you know that your boy has become the candidate emperor?"

General Monkey told the news he had just learned:

"Don't open your mouth so wide!"

"Everything I said is true. You know, my father is one of His Majesty's most trusted ministers."

"You will know this after you finish practicing."

General Monkey said this, feeling a little lucky that he had never offended anyone in the Imperial Guard.

Only then was he given the important task of being a good friend of Somkes by his family!

What a great guy!

General Monkey understood on the spot that His Majesty seemed to have taken a fancy to Somkes.

The rest is just a matter of going through the process.

Alas, considering that I also have royal blood, why haven’t I been considered by the big shots above?

So besides being physically stronger and having more wives, who can compare to Somkes?

I want to think about it, but I still have to please.

Under General Monkey’s repeated explanations.

Somkes accepted the fact that he was the candidate emperor.

And he thought that perhaps his mentor had made a great contribution in this regard?

After all, since I was a child, it seems that my mentor who taught me knowledge has been full of praise for me, and now he is still in an important position?

Although a candidate for emperor may not necessarily become an emperor.

But being able to become a candidate emperor is a great thing in itself, and it shows that your talents have been recognized by His Majesty the Emperor.

And history shows that the candidate emperors of the Somme Empire are still living well, and there are many legendary figures who were sent out to become actual lords and spread out huge families.

Somkes didn't think he could be emperor.

But if you can get a piece of territory and then take your family there to dominate, that would be great...

The beautiful fantasy is still going on in my mind.

Suddenly, Somkes shuddered.

He noticed that the sunlight seemed to be disappearing rapidly.

The earth and the holy mountains are covered in thick shadows.

Is this a dark cloud coming?

However, it was still cloudless just now, but now the dark clouds are moving so fast?

Somkes was thinking this, and found that the monkey general next to him who had just been chatting with him about his feelings just now raised his head, his expression as dull as a wooden man.

Somkes realized something. He swallowed and slowly raised his head.

immediately.

The young general saw the cloudless sky.

A giant spaceship, as black as ink but emitting metallic reflections, full of indescribable beauty and indescribable majestic charm, was slowly landing in the sky.

As it continues to lower its height.

Its size occupies an increasingly larger area of ​​the sky.

The sunlight seemed to be oppressed by it and kept giving way, changing from a crescent moon to a small crescent moon, and finally turned into a thin golden edge and finally disappeared completely.

The sky and the earth were plunged into darkness.

Under the boundless shadow created by the alien warship...

Looking at this alien battleship that is higher than the Holy Mountain and countless times bigger.

The Praetorian Guards fell into a sense of suffocation.

I couldn't help myself for a long time.

And in the palace of the Som Empire.

King Som VII came to the balcony, grabbed the railing and looked into the distance after seeing the black battleship that almost obscured the horizon.

He understood.
