The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1577. Betrayed Request

Tang Xiao stood in the capital of Liming Planet, in his mansion in Liming City, overlooking the entire city from a high position.

This is a giant building with a height of more than 3000 meters, and it is also the administrative center of the entire Dawn Principality. The main part below this giant building is the major central administrative agencies, and the top part, which is about 150 meters high, is Tang Xiao's mansion or palace.

When building this building, it was Tang Xiao's own request.

Because he found that he really didn't have too many desires, maybe since he crossed over and woke up on the mothership, he could easily obtain those things that were very difficult and longed for by ordinary people. Such as beautiful women, such as money, such as luxury houses, such as status...

And while obtaining these, he also discovered that the mothership guided the direction to another road—power!

He has an army, industry, 650,000 experts and heroes of various races and fields, billions of high-quality embryos, and lives in a remote galaxy rich in resources, but will be at the core of war in the future.

Under such conditions, it is very difficult for a person like Tang Xiao not to develop such boundless ambitions!

Dominate the galaxy!

In fact, this is what he has been doing since he discovered the value contained in the mothership. This is his ambition! Even if he knew that he was in the world of "Star Wars", even if he knew that his opponent was the unfathomable Darth Sidious, he devoted himself to it without hesitation.

This is the romance of men!

However, after calming down from the initial frenzy, Tang Xiao was also constantly examining himself. He discovered that what the Mothership actually gave him was a multiple-choice question...

Because the mothership gave him everything, but it didn't give him a sense of security. For someone with his personality, embarking on the path of hegemony is almost a certainty.

In other words, if his time travel and the existence of the mothership were arranged by someone, then the path he is walking now is the path that this person expects.

Tang Xiao did not forget that although he had already sent people to check the entire Glory mothership over and over again, there was always a spherical space with a diameter of about 200 meters that could not be entered.

And this spherical space located at the core of the mothership has no entrances or gaps at all, and there is no response to scanning with any instrument, and even the outer shell of this spherical space does not know what kind of material it is. All I know is that even under an electron microscope, what the outer shell reveals is still a compact structure, and even atoms and molecules cannot be seen.

And what's even more amazing is that after careful measurement and calculation by scientists, the conclusion reached is that the mass of this spherical space actually accounts for more than half of the mass of the entire mothership! This is scary!

He asked the mastermind, but the mastermind told him that this space is where the mastermind's mainframe is located, and it is also the hyperspace core of the mothership, so no one has the authority to open it, even Tang Xiao, who is the manager.

Although this answer was logical, Tang Xiao's intuition told him that the interior of this spherical space was the answer to everything.

However, although Tang Xiao already has enough power and influence to let him stand on the stage of competing in the Milky Way, he understands very well that compared with the existence that allows him to travel through and give him a mothership, he is far from getting rid of the pawns. This role is far from perfect.

Therefore, his pursuit of strength and immortality is because he is afraid that he does not have enough strength, nor enough time, to uncover the truth of all this.

As for now, since this existence wants him to fight for the hegemony of the Milky Way, then, let's take down this Milky Way and start from here!

Tang Xiao withdrew his deep gaze and looked at the city under his feet.

Buildings with a sense of technology rise up and are neatly arranged. With the completion of the global wireless power supply network, there are no wires in the city, and the construction of buildings and surrounding facilities is completely free from the constraints of wired cables. , allowing architectural designers to play their artistic talents unscrupulously.

This makes the whole city beautiful.

The densely packed suspension vehicles and spaceships are flying fast at different heights in an orderly manner, injecting fresh blood into the city like blood vessels.

In the distance, a thousand-meter-high tower stands majestically. This is the synaptic network node on the planet. Under the coverage of thousands of nodes, the operation of the entire planet has been arranged and calculated most scientifically.

At high altitude, there is also an oval light blue spaceship flying slowly. The color and height of this spaceship make it difficult for ordinary people to see clearly. This is a climate adjustment device, through the control of the planet's atmosphere, to make the whole planet have good weather all year round.

In fact, there are still many achievements, even Tang Xiao himself is not clear about them.

When the various departments below reported to him, most of what he could see were simulated renderings, various data, and investment amounts.

Even more often, what he deals with is some more macroscopic things, such as this climate control device, which is the result obtained after the Ministry of Planetary Environment applied for a sum of money, and after these spaceships are manufactured and deployed to various places on the planet In the corner, Tang Xiao didn't even know what kind of thing it was.

There are still many places that cannot be seen, and the fourth civilization is developing by leaps and bounds. More and more population input, product input, and capital input have brought the development of the planet to an incredible speed.

The development of Dawn Star has the support of thousands of galaxies behind it, including the support of the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association.

It is also because of this that seeing this ever-changing planet and its ever-growing civilization gave Tang Xiao a greater sense of accomplishment.

It also gave him more confidence to participate in this battle for hegemony in the galaxy.

More importantly...all of this is mine! No one can take it away!

Tang Xiao roared in his heart, he clenched his fists involuntarily, his eyes were as sharp as the eyes of an eagle!

Take a deep breath to calm down your surging emotions a little. Tang Xiao turned slightly to the side, looking at a person kneeling behind him.

This person has been kneeling here for at least an hour since just now. But Tang Xiao didn't pay attention to it at all, and just dealt with official documents, watched the scenery, and drank afternoon tea on his own.

The person kneeling here is indeed Severance Tann!

She knelt on one knee, with her head bowed, her long black wavy hair hanging down her side, motionless. Beads of sweat could already be seen on her blue skin. It was obvious that kneeling like this for an hour was also a torment for her.

However, she was enduring it silently, not daring to have the slightest complaint.

The domineering, arrogant, yet invincible general in the army, in front of Tang Xiao at this moment, is like a humble servant.

And this appearance, how does it look like she just wiped out the second galaxy army of the Galactic Republic and captured hundreds of warships? This is clearly the punishment of the defeated general!

Tang Xiao slowly returned to the sofa and sat down, looked at Severance Tann for a long time, and finally spoke: "You want to stay in the Alliance of Neutrals and join the Federation of Independent Galaxies, even if you I have repeatedly emphasized that the object of your allegiance is actually me forever?"

"Yes, my master." Severance Tann directly used the word master, although Tang Xiao never recognized such a relationship.

"You should know why I let you kneel here?" Tang Xiao's tone gradually turned cold.

"I know...because this is...betrayal." Severance Tann raised her head, "But! I think..."

However, just as she was about to distinguish, an invisible force directly locked her throat before she could speak! The feeling of suffocation made him want to struggle involuntarily, but in order to express her loyalty, she forcibly endured it, still maintaining the posture of kneeling on one knee.

"I'm the one asking you the question, and I don't need any more explanation from you. Or do you want to make the judgment instead of me?" Tang Xiao said coldly.

Severance Tann shook her head vigorously.

Tang Xiao did not relax the grip of the original force at all, and asked instead: "Then, what attracted you? Is it the supreme military commander of the Confederacy of Independent Galaxy? Or their powerful forces? You are asking me for such a request. Are you protesting? Protesting that I did not let you become the commander-in-chief of the navy? Or protesting that our Principality of Dawn is not powerful enough?"

Severance Tann couldn't speak or breathe, the only thing she could do was shake her head desperately.

Boom! With a wave of Tang Xiao's hand, the original force directly volleyed Severance Tann into the air, hit the wall and fell to the ground.

She struggled to get up, with a hoarse breathing sound in her throat, and quickly ran to Tang Xiao and knelt down on one knee, and said with difficulty: "Please listen to my explanation, my master! My loyalty to you will never change !"

Tang Xiao looked at him, smiled coldly, and said: "Because you want a space to play freely. Because you understand that the strategic goal of the Duchy of Dawn in the next stage is defense. It is also because, Admiral Matt Horner , Governor Volgograd-Kanidi, and Governor Lingliang, they are capable enough to fulfill the strategic goals of their respective defense zones, so there is even less room for you to exist."

Seeing what Severance Tann wanted to say, he glanced coldly, and Tann immediately shut up.

Tang Xiao continued: "Not only that, but you can also see that the Duchy of Liming doesn't have any more fleets for you to command. The Xuanwu Titan is a defensive warship, and the new Titan we started is also an Ant Coronne class. Therefore, you can only ask for warships from the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. Whether it is the Conqueror-class Destroyer or the Ragnalov-class Shadow, they are all offensive warships that you desire very much. Yes , or not?"

Severance Tann nodded, "Yes, Master. But my loyalty..."

"But I saw it!" Tang Xiao interrupted her again, "It's you who want to crack the earth and grant rewards after victory! You want an independent military command! In a word, that is what you think The power I got is not enough! You gave me a choice, whether to meet your request or accept your betrayal! Then tell me, if you were my Grand Duke, what would you do?"

"It's different! I'm willing to do anything to prove my loyalty!" Severance Tann said loudly.

"And then? Let me agree to let you go out, hang out alone, disobey orders, and then believe in your verbal loyalty?" Tang Xiao asked back.

Severance Tann stood up and began to take off her clothes one by one, fully showing her slender, beautiful, yet firm and tight body. She bowed her head and said: "Since the battle of the Blade Fleet, I have regarded you as my only master! I will never change until death, and will never change. Everything I have belongs to you, my master... If I have Any second thoughts, please master take my life at any time."

Tang Xiao looked at the beautiful and moving body in front of him. After Severance Tann took off her general uniform, what appeared in front of her was a beautiful woman full of mature charm. And because she has been in the army for a long time and often exercises, the heroic appearance on her body is also more attractive.

But female sex is no longer his pursuit for Tang Xiao, but just a tool.

He looked at the body in front of him that was enough to make countless people dream of, but he just said coldly: "This is not the first time you have used your body, Severance Tann."

"That time I had no choice!" Severance Tann said loudly, "My family was ruined and scattered! I was alone in the wild facing endless pursuit! I had no choice! Now The situation is completely different! I have more choices, but I will definitely not choose anyone but you! You are my future! My life!"

She walked towards Tang Xiao step by step, her face full of determination, "I just want you to accept my loyalty."

She walked in front of Tang Xiao, then slowly knelt down again and kissed his slippers.

Is it because of the battle of the Blade Fleet, he almost QJed her, and made her awaken what other attributes? Or simply fear of death?

Tang Xiao looked at the beautiful blue-skinned female general in front of him, but he was thinking about other things in his mind.

Severance Tann's proposal is indeed beyond reproach in terms of military affairs. Now he really needs a force that can exert influence on the Alliance of Neutrals. At the same time, putting Severance Tann there can indeed give her more room to play.

But therein lies the problem!

loyalty!

Severance Tann obviously wants to prove her loyalty. She is obviously very clear that without the support of the Duchy of Dawn, it is impossible for her fleet to have any results. The Second Galaxy Army His fate is a vivid example.

And even if she joins the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, it's useless, because if Tang Xiao insists, then Earl Dooku would rather sacrifice Tann to maintain his relationship with Tang Xiao.
