interstellar fairy tale

Chapter 72

golden empire

The Golden Empire, a ten-thousand-year-old behemoth entrenched in the universe, has the most advanced weapons and the best soldiers, but stubbornly upholds the traditions passed down by the ancestors for thousands of years.

The highest symbol and power core of the empire will always be the man sitting on the throne made of gold and precious stones - the great emperor of the empire!From Leofid I to Heine III, these imperial rulers who have the most noble blood and follow the oldest system are recorded in the history books as either wise or cruel. They may be sympathetic people wrapped in gold, Maybe it is a scholar with great wisdom, or a cruel and cold-blooded dictator, but in the writings of the historians who have recorded the lives of the royal family members for generations, there is not a single emperor, yes, one!None of the emperor's comments had anything to do with mediocrity.

People in the Golden Empire can praise a wise monarch and condemn a tyrant, but no matter who is sitting on the throne of the emperor, as long as he has the purest blood of the imperial family, he can lead the imperial army across the universe with iron and blood ——Yes, even Frederick II, who is described as the most indecisive in the history of the empire, can still order the massacre of all life on the rebellious planet without hesitation, no matter young or old!

The only thing that the nobles and subjects of the huge empire can't accept is a mediocre, ineffective emperor who can't even execute his opponents on the spot!

In the 20th year of the Milky Way Calendar, the Golden Empire entered the No. [-] year of Heine III's rule. Unfortunately, the emperor Heine III, who was once praised by his subjects as "wise", began to make mistakes one after another. He unscrupulously brought his lover, Grand Princess Aifu, to the palace banquet, completely ignoring Queen Yilan and the huge family behind him. In front of him, he unscrupulously provoked the traditions passed down by the Golden Empire.Heine III's actions gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the nobles, and even members of the royal family began to stand against him.

Queen Yilan looked at such a husband, shook the incense fan lightly, covered the mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, her blue eyes matched the glittering gemstones on the fan.

Heine III would not listen to any advice, and even the most heartfelt courtiers could not pull His Majesty the Emperor back from the farther and farther wrong road.The already gray emperor, the man who used to support the entire empire with his broad shoulders, was immersed in the sweetness of his lover and fine wine all day long. , together with his youngest son Delan, who stayed by his side all day long, still could not eliminate the emperor's restlessness and uneasiness. Boredom and some kind of fear that Heine III refused to admit were gradually eroding the emperor's nerves.

Perhaps, Heine III finally remembered how he gradually eroded the power in his father's hands when he was young, and watched the former emperor who was once high-spirited and had to write an abdication edict.This kind of struggle for power is tacitly tolerated, not to mention that Heine III has long been recognized as the heir to the throne.

However, now, when Heine III's own child gradually grows up and becomes an eagle soaring in the blue sky, Heine III feels fear and powerlessness. He seems to understand his father who was forced to abdicate at that time What kind of eyes are you looking at yourself with!

"His Majesty?"

Grand Princess Aifu held her young son and stood quietly in front of Heine III, looking at His Majesty with one hand resting on his forehead, a sparkle seemed to flash in the corner of his eyes.At that moment, horror and bewilderment began to erode the spirit and heart of Princess Eve, and she involuntarily tightened Delan Edrich's hand, unaware of the boy's cries of pain...

Queen Yilan stood leisurely in front of the window, the veil like a fairy's wings was blown by the breeze, brushing the queen's silver hair.Quietly looking at the blooming flowers outside the window for a while, Queen Yilan began to miss her son who was still stranded in the distant galaxy.

Solan Aldrich, a dazzling existence like the stars and the moon, her only pride, her child, at this moment, the smooth road to the top of power has been paved, and as a mother, she will definitely sweep away all threats on the roadside ,all!

With a roar, a huge ornate pattern tore through the sky directly above the Summer Palace, the capital of the empire. In 30 days, the Golden Empire will usher in the New Year. As a subject under the protection of a powerful empire, either open the doors and windows, or go out of the house, pious Looking up at the dazzling patterns on the Summer Palace, in the joy of welcoming the coming New Year, he didn't find the gorgeous patterns that announced that the New Year celebrations were about to start.It is no longer the battleship totem of Heine III when he was young, but has become the gorgeous pattern on the flagship of the first prince Soran Edrich.

All of this is so blatant and aboveboard.

Even the courtiers who were most loyal to His Majesty Emperor Heine III remained silent at this moment.Regardless of the adjectives they use for this incident, whether it is positive or negative, this is already an accomplished fact.

Far from the center of the Golden Empire, the distant Muse galaxy seems to have forgotten the previous tragic war and the invaders who are still waiting outside the galaxy.Whether it is the Republic of Seth, the military regime of Mars, or the Federation of Free Cities controlled by Mars at this moment, they all choose to maintain superficial peace and stability without exception.At least for a while, they can forget about the robbers who may break into their house at any time.

However, there are still some people who are anxious, distressed, and racking their brains under this superficial calm, just for the almost impossible victory.

In Hercules, the capital of Mars, the guards in front of the city hall stood upright. A black land vehicle was parked in front of the city hall. The guard stepped forward to confirm the identity of the person on board, and then let it go.

On the sixth floor of the city hall, Chief Executive Officer Martin and Space Fleet Commander-in-Chief David South were arguing loudly about something. Adjutant Joe looked at his colleague who was kicked out, Sikyong, Secretary to the Chief Executive Officer, and smiled understandingly Laughed, even though the pity in that smile almost made Sikyong cry.

"Damn it! Martin! I must drive these guys out of my fleet!"

"David, calm down!"

"I can't calm down!"

David South simply put his demeanor behind him. He clenched his fists and thumped the shiny table in front of Martin. He had had enough!The daily exercise reports and the news about the black fleet have made David South almost unable to hide his anger—no, or it should be said that he can no longer hide it.

"David, he is a direct blood relative of Apollo...;"

"So what?! It was Apollo who died in the battle! I never knew when Mars started to imitate Seth's group of soft-legged shrimps?! Martin, you are a consul, but you were once a soldier!"

"David South!"

"Will you be angry too? If these guys are allowed to stay in the army, next time, you may not even have the right to be sad!"

After finishing his speech, David South turned around and strode out of Martin's office. Instead of looking at Martin's slumped figure on the large office chair, he almost bumped into the embarrassed adjutant Joe and Martin's face. Secretary Sikyong.

A cold light flashed in the dark green eyes of the commander-in-chief, who was still furious. Adjutant Qiao instinctively felt his back turn cold, and he didn't dare to stop any longer, and immediately followed behind David South.Sikyong was left standing there, sighed bitterly, and knocked on the office door.

"My lord, the meeting will start in half an hour."

There was a muffled sound in the room, and Sizheng's hand that was still in mid-air froze for a moment. Hearing the sound, he hoped it wasn't the alloy sculpture representing the status of the chief executive, if it was...

Sizheng shrunk his neck, and began to worry about the rest of his life.

Golden Empire Space Fleet

After receiving a secret letter from the imperial capital, Soran Edrich agreed to exchange prisoners with the Kanon military fortress.This made Lieutenant General Metz a little dissatisfied, but Admiral Roy just raised his head, and then turned on the virtual light screen.

Shang Ping was still trapped in the transparent "glass cover", trapped in this square inch for several days, Shang Ping began to laugh at himself, he always felt that he was like some kind of handicraft from the earth age, but...

Turning his gaze to a group of soldiers from the Golden Empire not far away, Shang Ping rested his hands on his cheeks and secretly cursed in his heart. In the future, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely lock these guys into this kind of cage!No, maybe the kind of cage similar to the wild animals in the zoo is more suitable for them...

While imagining the impossible scene, Shang Ping couldn't help laughing.

His laughter appeared in Solan's ear through the communication device. His Royal Highness the First Prince of the Empire turned his head in astonishment, and looked at the black-haired boy who was amusing himself and laughing uncontrollably. Did he know the reason for the exchange of prisoners of war? matter?
