The contemporary King of Slein, Borei III, is forty-eight years old. He is in the most powerful stage of a leader. He is also one of the only two imperial marshals in the election of emperors. Although as long as the emperor is elected, there must be a lieutenant general.
(Starting) or active duty or reserve military rank, but the marshal of the empire is quite valuable. If the ability and military merit are insufficient, he will not be worthy of the scepter inlaid with the dragon pattern.
In the history of the empire, there was an elected emperor who served as minister of the Privy Council for twenty years and held the seal for three years. He was appointed as the honorary marshal of more than a dozen small countries around him. However, because he did not have any appreciable military achievements, he had to die.
He did not have the rank of Imperial Marshal that he longed for.
The contemporary King Slein has great military exploits, and he is by no means a simple warrior. He is good at military affairs, and even better at military affairs. He is not a very powerful psyker, he is just average among the chosen emperors, compared to his character.
For example, in Agni's Emperor's Choice, King Thoraine, who has the first pair of red sticks, has a gentler temperament and even has some diplomatic experience.
Such a versatile military and political person is actually more suitable to be stationed in the Privy Council than the muscular man King Solain. However, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor and the Privy Council put him here to handle military and political matters is naturally because they have all-round considerations.
First of all, we all know that behind the Gate of Glory is another vast new world that is in urgent need of development.
The empire's exploration, development and colonization of the new world will all transit from here. When the greatest legacy from the Enlightened Ones is opened, this will no longer be the border of the empire, but the starting point of the new world of the imperial government.
Even without the Star Gate, this is still the most difficult star area for the empire to deal with.
The main opponent to be faced after the border is the Perseus Convention Organization composed of nearly twenty independent civilized countries. Its main leading countries, the Tukelan Coordinating Ministerial Department and the Konami Future Organization, both in terms of national strength and technology
In terms of strength, it can be considered a second-tier power.
Although the purpose of this military alliance is to unite small countries in order to achieve independence and independence, there must be support from the alliance behind it.
In this case, for the sake of national defense and security, it is naturally necessary to maintain a large military strength. But at the same time, a person with certain diplomatic skills is also needed to sit in front and win the hearts and minds of the people with the alliance.
This is different from the situation in Feimo Nebula where they are fighting for territory with real swords and guns.
For example, among the member states of the Perseus Convention Organization opposite, there is the Republic of Leda. It has a very small territory and does not even have a livable planet in its territory. It only controls a few small towns on desert planets and orbital space.
The total population of the space city is less than 100 million. It was established after the last galactic war and the entanglements and compromises between countries. It is one of the small countries that can be seen everywhere in the galaxy. Maybe it will not be there in the next war.
.
But even so, it is a franchising country recognized by the Galactic Civilization Council. Moreover, this is also the first time since the Age of Exploration that the sparsely populated mercenary race of Laig Giants has established its own country.
But here comes the problem. Within the scope of the Gate of Glory Military Region, there is an autonomous territory whose main residents are Laig Giants.
When things involve diplomacy, things get complicated.
Fortunately, King Slein is recognized by many people as a versatile military and political expert. Many people even think that he looks like the great emperor in his youth. This aspect is quite reasonable.
At the banquet, he said to everyone: "If I had to tell everyone that the past year was a year of stability and peace, then even the spirit of the universe would punish me for lying. However, everyone here
You are warriors who have experienced martial arts, and you should be looking forward to all this. Before the war broke out, you were old men at home who were despised by your mother-in-law and rebellious children. But after the war broke out, you were heroes. Isn’t it like this?
?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, the same is true for the ladies here. Instead of beating up useless old men and annoying brats at home, wouldn't it be more exciting for you to go out and beat up predators?"
The laughter got even louder. The few tough ladies present even clapped.
The Tiruiro people are indeed a very equal society. As long as they can fight, both men and women will be fully respected.
"Okay, everyone, now that we have reached a consensus, please use your influence after you go back to fully restrain your subordinates and let them obey the command of our organizers and officers. I can assure you
, the due military merits and rewards will never be discounted. His Majesty the Emperor is always paying attention to everyone's heroic appearance!"
Everyone present cheered again, looking like they were happy to hear the battle.
For the Tirello military nobles and civil class who are full of martial virtue, war is their rice, money and food, and their food, clothing and parents. Although these are temporary mobilization soldiers, their morale is much higher than that of professional soldiers in most countries.
Of course, it is unrealistic for everyone to be harmonious even if there are so many people present. No, the giant Legg named Chulk cheered a few times and then got into a conflict with a baron next to him. The two of them clashed.
Although people don't dare to fight at the banquet where the emperor is elected, it is still okay to have an endless cycle of "you look at what you look at".
So, while the banquet was in progress, the vassal king found an opportunity to hand Chulk to his study and asked: "You are a graduate of the Glory Gate Armored Academy, right? In the 141st Panzer Grenadier Regiment
He served for 5 years, participated in the Battle of White Rainbow Star and the Battle of Ferrovi, and later served in the Sky Forbidden Army for 3 years. He was promoted to colonel at such a young age, why did he retire?"
The lifespan of a giant Legg is similar to that of a human being. Zurg is only forty years old this year, so he is indeed considered to be in the prime of life.
Chulk didn't expect His Highness to know his resume so clearly. He was a little flattered and told him that he was not a human noble or a sailor after all. The limit was to be promoted to captain. So he chose to retire and return to
A farm was run in my hometown.
"Why are you not a noble? You are a descendant of Viscount Chudog!"
This Viscount Chudog was once a fierce general in Emperor Yiwenya's "non-human" imperial guard, and he gained the hereditary viscount title and fief for his merits.
However, we must know that even the great ducal families of the founding of the country are difficult to preserve to this day. Naturally, it is impossible for the title of a Legg giant to die with the country. In fact, it can be passed down for nearly a thousand years.
Among the non-human hereditary aristocratic families, it can already be ranked among the top five in history.
As of today, the family line of Viscount Chudog is indeed gone, and his direct descendants are just ordinary citizens. His territory has also been returned to the Prime Minister's Office and has become the direct ruler of the empire.
However, due to the fact that the Viscounts of Churg have taken in many of their own tribesmen living all over the universe, the population of the Legg giants in the territory is even four to five times greater than that of humans. For the sake of governing a safe country, they established
A self-government of giants on a fifty-year basis.
Now this Colonel Chulk is not only the leader of the "government troops" in the Dominion, he is also the great-grandson of the old lord, a citizen of the empire, the richest man in the Dominion government and a member of the local council.
This time, he brought more than 5,000 Laige giants, all of whom were strong young men with considerable military training, and came to the meeting in four armed merchant ships. Such a force naturally made the feudal king greatly relieved.
.
"Don't pay too much attention to other people's eyes. If you are from a famous family, if you achieve military merit, you will have the possibility of wearing a general star, and even getting back your title and territory. There has never been a lack of such examples in the history of the empire. For real people
The empire has never been shy about bestowing true wealth and honor on its warriors." King Slein thought for a moment, and then ordered his guards to pick a specially made impact battle ax from his arsenal.
"This is for you! I hope to see you carrying him and beheading the enemy with your heroic appearance!" King Slein said.
Colonel Chulk was so moved that all the unhappiness he had felt when he was ridiculed by the aristocratic children suddenly disappeared.
"What a humble person I am, how can I deserve such kindness from His Highness?" The giant Colonel Legg, who was nearly three meters tall, was lying on the ground, stooped like a dog, and tears were pouring down his face.
"I have no kindness to you, but the empire owes its veterans the honor it deserves. Go and prove that you haven't withered yet." King Slein said.
So Colonel Legg wiped away his tears and stepped back with the battle ax in hand. Judging from the action of holding the battle ax, he probably didn't hold the urn of his grandfather with such trepidation.
King Slein worked in his study for a few more minutes and sighed slightly. He did not think that Colonel Chulk was really good enough to deserve such courtesy from him, but behind him, he represented almost everyone
The Laig race within the empire.
You know, the Sumi and the Flanmore people in the Shengyuan Star District are now a little unstable, and they are facing the invasion of predators. The more complex the situation is, the more careful it needs to be.
The feudal king suddenly felt that his behavior at this time was a bit ridiculous, which made him want to laugh. He couldn't help but take out his wine glass and poured himself a glass of red dragon's blood wine. He was not actually good at wine, but because dragon's blood wine was
Emperor Elithel's favorite, he is usually happy to have a few drinks.
After finishing this glass of wine and going out, he, King Slein, was still the energetic King Sai, the marshal of the empire, and the outstanding commander guarding the Gate of Glory for the empire.
However, it must be admitted that although the vassal king did not like the feeling of pinching his nose and being arrogant, his level of winning people's hearts was still very good. At least, after Colonel Chulk returned, he held his head high and his chest high, as if
Every pore exudes the sense of honor of the imperial nobility, and he doesn't even bother to pay attention to other people's provocations.
Until this time, the empire's united front work had been going very smoothly. If what happened later had not happened.
After three rounds of drinking, the guests discovered that His Highness the Electoral Emperor had not appeared for a long time.
Later, his attendants found his body in the private bathroom behind the lord's office.
The forty-eight-year-old His Highness the Elected Emperor, a third-level psyker, was sitting on the toilet, with a look of horror on his face. He no longer had the same demeanor as before. A huge wound hung from his shoulder to his waist, almost cutting off his body.
The torso is completely split.
But what is shocking is that although King Slein's organs and bones have been completely torn, the shocking wound location has been scorched by some kind of burn mark, but has been closed, even a little bit.
No blood was spilled.
The guards of the elected emperor were all experienced professional security personnel, and there was even an active judge among them. Although they were so frightened by the scene that they almost lost their ability to think, they quickly regained their composure. They quickly blocked the Si
King Lein's official residence also sent obituary notices to the Warlord's Palace, the sector government and the fleet headquarters on the front line.
So, now comes the problem. An assassin who can silently kill a chosen emperor under such tight security is definitely a master among masters. He has probably escaped long ago. However, the security personnel present are absolutely not
Dare to let go of any guest present.
Although the assassin may not be present, people like the dark tone under the lights? Moreover, who can guarantee that there will be no collaborators of the assassin among the guests?
All in all, everyone is chivalrous.
The most suspicious person is indeed Colonel Chulk, whom His Royal Highness the Emperor last met.
The judge asked the colonel to teach him weapons and to be questioned by himself alone.
"I, I didn't do anything?" The giant Legg, who had no idea what was going on, hugged the battle ax tightly: "This is a gift given to me by His Highness, you can't take it away!"
"I will have it preserved," the judge said.
"What happened?" the colonel asked again.
"This is not what you need to know now. But don't worry, we treat everyone equally, and you will never be treated unfairly."
However, before the judge could finish his words, the baron next to him, who had had a conflict with Chulk before, said: "I knew he had something evil in mind, and it would not be an exaggeration to do anything bad."
He actually had many business conflicts with Colonel Zulco.
One is a celebrity from the Laig people whose ancestors were lords and he was also a soldier, and the other is an upstart human nobleman who has only passed down the family for three generations. They are just tied, and the hatred will naturally accumulate. Of course, they will not let go of anyone.
Opportunities for the other party to use tricks.
"This longhair should be taken to the prison to eat white fish. It makes people feel uncomfortable staying here."
Calling the giant Legg "hairy" and "eating white fish" is similar to calling black people "Brother Ni" or asking them to eat watermelon fried chicken. Therefore, the giant Legg, who was already shaken to the point of unstable mental structure,
Finally he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the opponent.
Fortunately, he still had some sense of control and only used his fists. No matter how much trouble this caused, nothing big would happen.
This is also true. The giant colonel Legge landed three punches on this foul-mouthed rival, and then he was separated by the guards. He was honestly taken away in handcuffs. Looking at his cheerful smile, it was easy to let him go.
People think he did it on purpose.
Indeed, the war is about to start, and it is impossible for a governor like him to be detained forever. He will probably be released in a few days. Therefore, it is quite cost-effective to find a reasonable and legal opportunity to beat his archenemy out of a row of teeth.
of.
If Colonel Chulk knew what would happen next, he would definitely regret it. Not long after he was taken away, his subordinates on the ship and in the port all got the news.
"Let me just say, the situation at the Gate of Glory is unstable and we are a thorn in the side of the empire! Colonel Chulk surrendered himself to the trap this time!"
"Can he still come out?"
"Is it possible to wait until our Dominion is dismantled and all the people are exiled to those remote planets? I heard that this is what the Empire is doing to the Sumi and the Flemors now!"
Although the Legg giants did not understand the allusion of the "Hongmen Banquet", it did not stop them from thinking wildly in this direction. This race with simple minds but well-developed limbs produces warriors, mechanics, excellent crews and pilots, but it is very rare.
It's hard to find a clear-headed strategist, and they can be considered one of the most provocative races in the universe.
As a result, a sudden riot broke out in the Green Ocean Star, the capital of the Gate of Glory sector.
But on the same day, the Predator fleet finally appeared within the Gate of Glory sector. It was not at the junction with the Frontier sector as everyone imagined, but in the direction of the Abyss Nebula.
At this moment, in the Empire's Gate of Glory star sector, in the Silver Hand G86 galaxy adjacent to the Abyss Nebula, there is a border outpost with a total garrison of less than 200 people. The Empire soldiers inside are trembling with horror on their faces.
Looking at the giant battleships that are constantly leaping into this remote galaxy, it is like seeing a group of huge ghosts that easily get into your house from behind the wall.
This is what happened on the first day of the last month of the common calendar year 831.
