The one-man airship piloted by Yang Ming fell towards the surface city of Sakaar.
The military's operational capabilities have always been amazing, and this time is no exception.
While Yang Ming was still on his way back to Saka, a rapid response fleet under the direct jurisdiction of the military, with a total of more than 120 main warships, appeared in the star field near Saka.
The two orders were conveyed to the Governor's Mansion of Sakaar at the same time.
1. The empire is about to hold periodic military exercises around the Saka planet to enhance the sense of security of the residents of the Saka planet.
Second, in a standard galactic year in the future, the Imperial Military Headquarters will move to a deep airport and be stationed near the commercial shipping lanes near Sakaar.
These two commands don’t seem like much at first glance;
But when the imperial fleet appeared on the outskirts of the planetary defense system of Sakaar, which was not yet large-scale, and made a posture of attacking at any time, the Governor's Mansion and Lord's Mansion of Sakaar immediately felt tremendous pressure.
Rumors are spreading on Sakaar.
In the local regional network, the old and new Sakaar people reached a consensus during the discussion - their lord was deeply suspicious of the empire's high-level officials because of his high achievements and influence. The high-level officials of the empire wanted to suppress the White Ghost.
When the empire's fleet aimed its guns at the planets within the empire, Sakaar became even more disturbed.
Many energetic young people, especially officers at all levels and rank-and-file soldiers in the Sakaar escort fleet who have experienced the life and death of the insect swarm, have begun to gear up;
They kept sending requests to the Lord's Mansion to take off to meet the enemy.
Even though they knew that there was a high probability that a civil war would not really break out, they still wanted to launch all the ships of the Sakaar escort fleet into the air and conduct a military exercise of the same level in front of the fleet sent by the Imperial Military.
Only when the gun barrels are facing each other can they prove their determination to fight!
However, although the young men of Saka Star were filled with indignation, the decisions made by the Lord's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion were still steady and steady.
[The Saka Star Guard Formation and the rest of the lord’s private armed forces remain silent.]
[Any local government and military personnel and their families are not allowed to make any remarks against imperial officials.]
This was the environment that Saka was in when Yang Ming arrived at Saka.
He didn't say anything to Godoy and the others, and drove a small boat back to Saka alone.
He turned off the stealth function of the small boat and actively spread positioning noise on all channels. This was equivalent to telling everyone that he had returned to Sakaar.
If the Empire wants to see if it can kill him, this is the best time.
The Dongfeng hid behind the Sakaar planet (relative to the location of the imperial fleet), maintaining the longest particle transmission distance from Yang Ming.
There is no more hustle and bustle in Lu's thinking space, and each of his clones is executing various instructions in an orderly manner.
The dreadnought sent by the Empire to Sakaar is still on its way;
The Terminator assassination robots that Yang Ming asked Lu to deploy are already waiting at the border of the empire.
Based on the information that Lu currently has on the elite Sherman family of the Empire, they are confident that they can wipe out 40% of its members in one galactic day, paralyze the government affairs department of the Empire, and wipe out more than 60% of the Empire's military generals.
.
This is a war from which there will be no retreat if it breaks out, and their preparations are not completely adequate.
Lu can definitely feel the change in his boss's mentality.
The boss had always had the mentality of testing the empire, and while advancing many of their plans step by step, he also left room for relaxation to 'let it go as soon as it was good' or 'come back next time if it doesn't work this time'.
But when the boss heard that the Imperial Military Department mobilized a dreadnought ship to the vicinity of Sakaar...
Lu felt Yang Ming's long-lost anger.
Yang Ming does have the right to be angry.
Even if they can't defeat the complete empire now, they can still bite off half of the empire's life;
What's more, Li has always been silent and does not approve of the current imperial family.
On the projection screen in front of Lu, Boss Yang's expression was quite stern.
But when the boat was about to land, Yang Ming twisted his face and became very easy-going.
The airship fell directly to the Lord's Mansion.
Her Highness Daphne, who received the news in advance, Governor Godoy Saka, the two sisters Hanyin Hanxiang, and several core officers of the ghost private army represented by Peterson stood waiting outside the Lord's Mansion.
Daphne crossed her arms and looked a little tired.
She had just arrived from a distant star field and was troubled by the chaotic public opinion on the Internet.
However, when Yang Ming's airship appeared in her sight, her slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed, and the slightly pursed corners of her mouth gradually relaxed.
As long as he can come back, everything will be solved.
——Daphne thought so.
…
After a while, there was a closed-door meeting in the Lord's Mansion.
Yang Ming leaned back on the chair, enjoying the fragrant massage service, with a somewhat 'peaceful' smile on his lips.
Daphne sat in her exclusive exquisite sofa, tasting the fragrant tea in her hand, thinking about what she could do now.
Governor Godoy and Hanyin were pacing back and forth, like ants on a hot pot.
"Hanton!" Governor Godoy lamented, "My lord, my ghost brother! How can you still be so calm now? A large number of rhythmic blackmail topics suddenly appeared on the empire's network, and the official did not suppress it.
, on the contrary, they added fuel to the flames, and even moved the fleet over and put the muzzles of cannons into our heads! What the hell is going on!"
Hanyin also said anxiously: "I can get some news from the tentacles. His Majesty, the great emperor, has acquiesced to the pressure on you by some great nobles... There are also unfavorable remarks about you from the military department... It's almost just
Overnight, they seemed to have joined forces to target you."
"Calm down."
Yang Ming opened a slit in his right eye and looked at Daphne who was drinking tea next to her.
"Things are more complicated than you think. If you don't believe me, just ask your dear Princess, she has her own source of information, and she can be regarded as a bystander now."
"Onlookers are clear? This is quite interesting."
Daphne smiled gracefully:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that when your lord led his troops to the Dominguez planet, he did not follow the military's will to plunder the Domingos people as slaves, and insisted on his own innocence.
reputation, so some old guys in the military department felt offended.
"After the insect wave passed, your lord's reputation reached its peak, and the people even developed various beliefs about the white ghost on their own, deifying and sainthood the white ghost.
"When the White Phantom refuses to do what the empire wants and colludes with the empire's ruling faction, it will naturally cause great panic among those in power. Therefore, through this White Phantom massacre of terrorists, all conflicts have erupted.
"The main contradiction now is the conflict between the power in the hands of those in power in the empire and the excessive influence of the White Ghost on the grassroots. That's it."
Godoy thought carefully and whispered: "Then what you did is actually right, Hanton... Hui, it is the right choice for you not to become a member of those great nobles, even if it will make the great nobles of the empire
They get angry, but this is behavior that must be encouraged."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows at Godoy, and his bad mood improved a lot.
Hanyin said helplessly: "But this is the empire. When the nobles unite, the energy is terrifying. Now it's not just the nobles who have united, but also the veteran generals of the imperial military."
Hanxiang added in a low voice: "If these people really get violent, they risk causing the Domingos tragedy in the country."
Godoy also said: "I know them, and I understand intuitively that as long as something is not in their own interests, they will be destroyed at all costs."
Yang Ming spread his hands: "So, what advice do you give me?"
"The easiest way is to actively request to become the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet again," Daphne said quickly, "to plunder the Domingos, get your hands dirty, and promote the honor of the Empire without any lower limit.
To please those self-satisfied nobles."
"I can't do it," Yang Ming shook his head, "My temper is like this. If you want me to do something against my will, why don't you just kill me."
Godoy asked: "How about asking Prince Kinov to say a few words? And Count Reville, his influence in the aristocratic circle is crucial."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I have never paid attention to these ragtag nobles. Of course, Reville is not included. He is a young man I am more optimistic about. As for the Imperial Council of Elders and the noble forces under them, even me
My opponent is not even qualified, and the one who wants to punish me now is Daphne’s great-grandfather, the Sherman family’s powerful generation.”
"Uncle Ino is against them doing this," Daphne said softly.
Yang Ming blinked at her.
Daphne took the tea and looked aside.
Hanyin asked: "What should we do? Oh yes! Go and beg Your Majesty!"
"I have considered this," Yang Ming said with a smile. "It is a great idea to take advantage of His Majesty's dissatisfaction with some people in the Sherman family. However, this is what I will do next. Now, I must stay on Sakaar.
."
"Why?" Governor Godoy was confused.
"The Empire is about to send a dreadnought ship over soon."
Yang Ming shrugged:
"I have never experienced how nervous it would be to directly face the main gun of the dreadnought. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to see if the empire will really treat someone who has not violated the empire's laws or violated the empire's moral bottom line.
The imperial heroes, as well as the tens of millions of imperial people here, issued orders for extermination.
"If it really comes to that, Daphne, you can help me tell Director Ino.
"If we really take this step, the Sherman family needs to bear full responsibility. I will revenge my people on Sakaar at all costs."
Daphne frowned tightly: "You can't solve any problems by being so strong at this time. Hanton, we must find a way to communicate."
"Daphne," Yang Ming sighed, "if I take this step back, what will happen next? You are smarter than me. You should be able to imagine that they asked me to conquer Dominguez today, and they will ask me tomorrow
If I go to conquer other countries, I will become a tool for the empire to kill the weak, and the nobles of the empire will be complacent and say privately - Oh, what kind of imperial hero is this? He is just a dog raised by the Sherman family. Dave
Ni, I am now qualified to be a human being, not a dog."
"I understand you, but..."
"No one can touch my principles, otherwise I will have to fight to the death."
"Don't you think about your hometown?"
"If I give in and retreat this time, my hometown will be truly hopeless," Yang Ming said calmly, "There is no point in talking to poisonous snakes about morality."
Daphne pursed her lips and thought.
Daphne said: "I'm sorry, I can't say this for you. It goes against my interests. I hope you can calm down. We will seek dialogue between the two parties to find another solution."
"It doesn't matter," Yang Ming picked up his watch and looked at it, "In a few minutes, I will release the second video to the entire network."
"What do you want to do?" Daphne asked with a frown, "This is the time to cool down public opinion, not add fuel to the fire."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to see how far this fire can burn."
Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, tapped twice on the watch, and a projection popped up.
Yang Ming said: "You can check out the content in advance, but this video has been released in advance since you watched the first frame, so you don't have to think about stopping me."
Daphne:......
Godoy and Hanyin Hanxiang had already come over and looked carefully at the picture on the projection screen.
Inside the projection screen is a bust of Yang Ming, wearing his signature gray-white exoskeleton armor, standing in front of a starry sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes still slightly moist.
"Feel sorry."
The white ghost whispered:
"I cannot kill the traitors of the empire, nor can I hurt my former lover.
"Catherine...Catherine is an idealist, and she is also an imperial super-reformed warrior who thinks about contributing to the empire every moment and dedicates her life to the empire.
"She was destined to end her life when she was born, because this kind of super-modified warrior is a human being cultivated from an embryo in order to break through the constraints of human genes and surpass the limits of human beings themselves, so as to provide the empire's dimensionality enhancement laboratory.
"These are topics that are far away from everyone, but what I want to say is that individual dimension advancement has always been the pursuit of the highest level of the empire. Entering the high-dimensional world, gaining eternal life and endless energy, transcending the current dimension and enjoying higher
The level of life is the pursuit of generations of imperial royal families.
"Catherine is the victim of this goal. She and her companions are all destined to receive energy bombardment at the age of thirty or forty, when their own strength reaches its peak, and then become the dust of the universe.
"So, I can understand their betrayal of the empire. Under such high-intensity pressure, they can easily distort their own psychology.
"Here, I want to implore the empire to be more tolerant to Catherine and Catherine's partners, and not to really regard them as traitors to the empire...I admit that what I said is a bit naive. I'm sorry that I shouldn't use the white ghost
Speaking of his identity, the White Ghost's mission is to protect this ancient empire and repel all invading powerful enemies.
"But I really can't let go of my former lover.
"I have noticed that many people are now attacking me for killing terrorists. What I must explain is that under the circumstances at that time, in order not to let a terrorist go, so as not to brew greater revenge in the future.
Actions have damaged the people of the empire, so I can only use all my mental strength.
"At that moment, I actually established communication with their thoughts. I felt that many people who should be happy and kind were forced to embark on the path of hatred because of some historical issues.
"For a notorious terrorist organization like Chauvinist Freedom, killing them a hundred or ten thousand times is not enough, but for those potential criminals who may be forced to become terrorists, we actually have many opportunities to save them and save them."
They are equivalent to reducing the casualties of innocent people.
"Now I am a little confused, I am not sure whether my previous persistence was right or wrong.
"But I firmly believe that the empire I love will not let down my love. The empire carries my ideals, and my ideal is that everyone can have an equal and prosperous life, have human rights that can be respected, and have the ability to
A job that brings happiness to your family and a safe and stable interstellar living space.
"May the empire that was built with the blood of countless soldiers and people remain immortal forever.
"I am willing to bear all the consequences of letting Catherine go and accept the fair trial given by the empire. I will wait on Sakaar for the army to arrest me. I will not harm any imperial soldier who is friendly to me."
