The king's family Astus, the royal family of the Mano Kingdom, the predecessor of the empire, can definitely be said to be the establishment of the empire. Not only that, the initial establishment of the 23 major families now have an inseparable relationship with it. Together with the seven giant companies within the empire, at the beginning of the empire, if it were not for the support and help of the Astus family, it would not have been possible to reach this point today without the support and help of the Astus family. But it was like the unsolvable troubles created for yourself. However, without them, the empire would probably not have been as good as it is today.

There is no need to say much about the foundation of the Astus family itself. Since the existence of the Mano Kingdom has been so far, its history is much deeper than other families of the four powers of the Empire. Many secret information, some ancient ruins related to ancient history, etc. As the leader of the Astus family, they naturally know very well in their hearts. However, how long did the decline start? I am afraid that not many people can clearly say this.

"However, the Knight Attendant Astus gave the Astus family a good opportunity to rise and carry out their plans. The five Knight Attendant indeed needed to consume huge resources within the Astus family, but they did not seem to want to give up even one of them. It is necessary to say that they are very ambitious." Hesley thought, "There is a lot of information now in a semi-public state. As for the king faction among the four forces, the Kings and the Five Princes families that had not been together before seemed to be in a tendency to be merged together at this time. It is not clear why this change is, but as one of the four forces, when it has cohesion, the combined strength may be very terrifying."

"Do you want to restore your original glory?" Cassia interjected in the middle.

"It should be right. The entire empire was theirs at the beginning. If it were anyone, they might have thought this way. However, I don't think it's a big possibility. Times have changed a lot. Not to mention the twenty-three major families, just the Holy Emperor Hall, it will take too much energy to do in the past."

"By the way, it's not just that Astus's actions in the empire are becoming more and more powerful - the public cooperation with the Empire's Mine Source and the Sanyuan Color Group, about the solid red mercury project they developed by themselves. Not long ago, the Holy Emperor Hall was also abnormal. First, a large number of holy envoys from countless holy churches were summoned to the Holy Emperor Hall in various regions to be distributed and prepared, and second, the number of in-service priests in remote borders was issued to reduce the number of priests in the remote borders. This means that in recent times, more powerful surgeons will return from various fortresses, important frontier locations, and extreme areas. These people will probably go to various important areas of the empire to take charge of some Holy Emperor Hall branches in the near future."

"Responsively, within the twenty-three major families, including Chira Andi, according to information within the Weberley family, they held a large meeting a few months ago, with the participation of the patriarchs of each family and members of the Presbyterian Church. The content of the meeting is unknown, and I do not have the authority level that I know, but this major change in the situation within the empire is probably caused by this."

"Is it because the ChiraAndi family also participated in the meeting?" Cassia pondered for a while and looked at Hesley, "Now it's only seven giant companies away."

"Don't count on the specific situation. It's a meeting, but it seems that it's not pleasant. After all, everyone is a businessman in the bones, and everyone is extremely smart. No one wants to give up anything. The most powerful thing now is the Empire Mining Source and the Three Primary Color Group. The successful development and basic mass production of solid red mercury imitations will definitely make them the focus in the future. But good things are still bad things, only those high-ranking people can see clearly."

"Even if there are disadvantages, the benefits will definitely be even more." Cassia said, "Businessmen never let themselves suffer."

"Maybe, but it's not clear. There are too many people in the empire who have established their own companies, and not many have succeeded."

"The nature of the two is completely different from the starting point, Hesley." Cassia smiled, "It's an inappropriate metaphor."

Hesley did not refute and nodded: "Now, the only thing that has been silent is the Imperial Parliament. The Avalon organization has always been like this and is not within the scope of consideration. For the Imperial Army, the interlaced network is too complicated, and it is difficult to say what the situation is. In short, for those of us who have not experienced war, there are too many things to learn in the future, and our actions must be more careful. Just like the little bugs that are advancing with the history of the steel wheel, we not only have to keep our energy in chasing the rapid steel wheel at all times, but also have to be careful that the steel wheel will not turn suddenly and crush it through ourselves at once."

"The time is not too much. The four forces have a lot of resources in their hands and reserves of talents in all aspects. For many things, they only need to make corresponding plans and then implement them smoothly. But we,,," Cassia sighed, "It's not that there are too many restrictions in all aspects, but that they are too weak and have to consider all aspects, which leads to the continuous changes in the plan. The final result cannot be as good as they think. It's all regret."

"How can I say that, I can always train myself from all aspects." Hessell smiled embarrassedly, and at least found an optimistic point in it. "There are many opportunities in it. If you grasp it well, the speed of development will be extremely rapid. Just like when the empire was established. This time the arrival of the Red Star is special. No one can tell what it will become in a few years. In short, we are both disadvantages and benefits."

"The disadvantage is that you may die suddenly. The advantage is that because of the smallness, you can drill anywhere and anywhere. Even if the red star falls one day, something like the four forces will be at the forefront."

"But despite so many things happening, everyone still restrains each other. The friction that happens is in places we can't see, and no one wants to be the one who ignites the fuse. It's just that how long it can last, everyone is right. Compared to a year or two ago, many unauthorized situations have gradually become the norm now. It is certain that the situation is getting worse and worse. Before the Red Star comes, some big things will definitely happen. In short, just like what the leader said, there is really not much time. Another point, if time allows, I suggest that leader, you'd better change your face and change your identity and go back to the empire for a walk. It's only one or two months."

"Are you afraid that I won't adapt much?" Cassia asked. "I definitely don't adapt. Compared with the three giant countries, small countries are completely comfortable."
