Ziyun Empire, the current overlord civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy, is the powerful empire that is located on the rear cantilever and is suspected to be a fifth-level civilization.
Why do we say it is doubtful? Because no one knows what level of civilization the Ziyun Empire is.
This is not to doubt that the Ziyun Empire is a fake fourth-level civilization, but it is not certain whether the Ziyun civilization is a fifth-level civilization or a more advanced civilization.
After all, the Andromeda side has no concept of civilization above level five. Otherwise, they would know that the Ziyun Empire would definitely not be a more advanced civilization. Otherwise, it would have already left the Andromeda Galaxy.
!
Therefore, this Ziyun Empire can only be a fifth-level civilization at most, and it can never be higher.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
I was startled by Emine's sudden shout.
Albany asked with some confusion.
"Albany, you have to understand that we may seem to be prosperous now, but we have to pay tribute to the Ziyun Empire once every hundred years, and the amount of resources this tribute has made it increasingly unaffordable for us!"
"Today's empire, let alone continue to develop, is barely able to maintain itself without collapse!"
"There are some things you don't know yet. The empire has been unable to collect the resources for the next tribute. Over the past thousands of years, the tributes have completely emptied the empire's capital!"
"And there are only three years left before the next tribute. Do you understand what this means?"
Albany's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, with a look of shock on his face.
It is very difficult for the empire to pay tribute every hundred years, and he knows this!
However, for a long time, Albany thought it was just a bit difficult, but he didn't know that the empire's situation had reached this point!
Ebenni knows very well how the Ziyun Empire will deal with civilizations that are unable to pay tribute resources.
After all, every hundred years, countless civilizations will be destroyed because they cannot pay the tribute amount!
Therefore, for the civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy, it is like going to hell every hundred years.
You can imagine how difficult this day is.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell us about this?"
"Is it useful to say it? Can you solve it? Apart from causing chaos and causing the empire to collapse in advance, what else can it do?"
"I..."
Three questions directly left Albany speechless.
The truth is just as Emine said, so what?
Not only will it not be of practical help, it may also lead to turmoil in the entire civilization in advance!
At that time, maybe the Ziyun Empire will not be needed to destroy the empire, the empire itself will have to collapse first!
"So, instead of being forced to death by Ziyun Empire like this, it's better to give it a try!"
"But I know that even if I give it a try, I can't escape the fate of destruction. It's because of this that I endure it and continue to pay tribute every hundred years!"
"However, things are different now. With the emergence of this sixth-level civilization from an alien galaxy, I see a glimmer of hope that I can successfully resist!"
"Now, do you understand why I did this?"
Albany understands now, understands everything!
In the past, there was no choice but to rely on the old capital to continuously transfuse blood for the empire to survive.
The emergence of the Human Federation is an opportunity for the current empire to change its destiny, and it is worthy of the empire to give it a try!
"I understand, Your Majesty!"
After thinking about it, Albany nodded solemnly!
"As long as you understand, I can have more contact with the other party, and I can even get a vague understanding of what the human federation's subsidiary civilization policy is like."
"If the situation is right, we can even directly propose to become the other party's affiliated civilization!"
"As long as the other party can protect us and allow our civilization to continue..."
------
Three hours later, Lin Yu and his party had arrived on the capital star of the glorious empire, and accompanying them was none other than the empire's supreme commander, Albenni!
Speaking of which, the customs of the Glorious Empire are very different from those of the Federation. The so-called celebration is just everyone walking on the street and greeting each other. There are no special programs or anything like that.
This left Lin Yu speechless.
You call this a celebration?
In fact, this is really not to blame for the Brilliant Empire. Just as the Brilliant Empire adopts simplicity as its fashion, more than a dozen emperors have gradually adjusted the values of all citizens of the Brilliant Empire to their current state little by little over thousands of years.
.
And its purpose is also very simple. Do everything possible to establish the idea of frugality without the people knowing it, so that the empire can transfuse a few more hundred-year blood!
It can be said that this is extremely sad.
"Lord Lin Yu, your civilization must be the most powerful civilization in the galaxy, right?"
Albany, who was accompanying him at the side, saw Lin Yu frowning and showing no interest, so he immediately struck up a conversation.
"Well, the Milky Way has been unified by us, and the number of galaxies currently owned by the Federation has exceeded 20!"
"What, there are more than 20 galaxies in the Federation's territory?"
"That's right!"
Lin Yu confirmed, while the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
The more shocked you are, the easier things will be later on!
"Moreover, even the affiliated civilizations of the Federation have 22 galaxies, so the number of galaxies ruled by the Federation now reaches nearly 40!"
At this time, Albany was completely stunned.
You know, as a fourth-level civilization, the Brilliant Empire has long observed the entire galaxy group where it is located. Naturally, it knows that there are a total of 50 galaxies in this galaxy group!
So does Lin Yu mean that in this galaxy group, except for the Andromeda Galaxy where the Brilliant Empire is located and several satellite galaxies, all other galaxies are already under the control of the Human Federation?
This is really too shocking.
"It turns out that the Federation is so powerful and has so many affiliated civilizations, so the amount of tribute received every time must be very considerable, right?"
"Pay tribute?"
"Uh...did I say something wrong, Mr. Lin Yu?"
Seeing Lin Yu's strange expression, Albany's heart skipped a beat.
I just want to make some excuses and understand the federation’s subordinate civilization policy!
Could it be that I accidentally said something wrong?
However, just when Albany was a little flustered, Lin Yu's next words made him instantly turn into an ice sculpture.
