Traveling through the infinite wasteland

? The capital of Halcharhan Province, Dyke, is a prosperous planet with a population of more than 200 million.

In the luxurious office on the top floor of the space port, Earl Luton stood quietly by the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the various unfamiliar and familiar warships busy in the distance with a complicated and incomprehensible expression.

The huge "Teng Yuan" palace is slowly moored in the planetary synchronous orbit. Its huge size of three hundred kilometers in diameter makes its figure clearly visible from the ground! It's like a huge mountain weighing heavily on the hearts of the 200 million people in the empire, especially those high-ranking figures who have truly felt the real and huge pressure of this emerging empire!

It's not that no forces thought that they would extend an olive branch to the young emperor at the right time, if he could prove that he had enough fierce fighting power! Because Zhu Zhaoyuan of the Imperial Capital is not a qualified person in power. Apart from killing, she seems to have never shown the abilities that a superior person should have in other aspects!

Because of this, these domestic racial forces, who were forced to temporarily surrender to the woman under pressure, began to secretly look for other ways out! For example, the ambitions of the eight great families are obvious!

Just some time ago, the allied forces of the aristocratic families suffered a huge defeat at the hands of that emperor's fleet, and the entire army was wiped out! Let these forces be greatly disappointed! It also brought the Dao Mang Empire into their sight, and many people were secretly pondering the possibility of moving closer to the Dao Mang Empire.

However, before they could take action, the young emperor showed his sword to the Shuofeng Empire. Since the war began for more than a month, the sword fleet's dazzling advance speed, as well as the Shuofeng Empire's extremely poor performance, Many plutocratic families and forces were stunned, and their spectacles were shattered on the floor!

At this moment, many forces have made up their minds and begun to try to contact the high-level officials of the empire to test the emperor's attitude in a tactful way to see if they can achieve win-win cooperation. After all, with their help, His Majesty the Emperor's journey to take over the Shuofeng Empire will be much smoother, and they will also be able to obtain sufficiently generous benefits!

However, when the Halcharhan Province, the core town in the western part of the Yunmeng Galaxy, was captured neatly by the Dao Mang fleet in less than a day, even those forces that were least optimistic about the Dao Mang Empire sat down. Can't stand it anymore! They rushed over one after another to express their allegiance, and prepared generous gifts to request an audience with His Majesty.

I heard that another fleet of the Daomang Empire is already marching towards the Solomon Province in the east. If they can win smoothly, the entire Yunmeng Galaxy will be included in the empire's territory, and they will naturally become subjects of the empire. At this time, there are still If you don't express your attitude quickly, what awaits your own race may be that Qing has temporarily revealed it!

"My lord, the order has been issued over there. You can go to see His Majesty in one hour!" His butler hurried in from outside, saluted and then reported.

The earl's expression relaxed and he asked, "Have those people been notified? Are they together?"

"No!" the housekeeper shook his head and said,

"Except for us, all the representatives of the forces related to the eight major families have been imprisoned, and His Majesty the Emperor's Guards Corps has been dispatched. Judging from the situation, they are going to attack them!"

"That's right!" the earl chuckled softly, "those big races fought with him not long ago, it's strange that he can show a good face to them now! However, this has nothing to do with me, there is no need to go Leave him alone!"

The butler nodded lightly and said, "Sir, we have prepared the gift for His Majesty the Emperor. Would you like to take a look at it first?"

"No problem, take me to see it!" Concerning this matter, the Earl did not dare to be unprepared, and was immediately led by his butler to a tightly protected secret room.

The thick nanmu long table is covered with bright yellow precious brocade. Hundreds of boxes of different sizes, elegant and simple in shape, and excellent craftsmanship are placed on it one by one. These are the gifts prepared by the Earl of Luton for His Majesty the Emperor.

Due to the rush of time and difficulty in collecting suitable tributes, the earl had to ask the butler to open the treasures that had not been used by his family for many years, and carefully selected hundreds of rare treasures from them to solve the problem.

The butler opened all the boxes one by one and asked the count to look at them one by one and discuss them from time to time.

It didn't take long and all the items were inspected. Regarding the butler's vision, the earl was quite satisfied. At least this batch of tributes was well arranged.

"Okay, put them all away!" he ordered.

The butler took out a void bracelet, collected the boxes one by one, and then put the bracelet on his wrist, leading the Earl to a luxuriously furnished circular small living room outside.

Twenty beautiful girls, about eighteen or seventeen years old, with blond hair, snow-skinned skin, and picturesque features were chatting together in low voices. When they saw the count come in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted!

These are the top-quality goods collected by the steward in accordance with his orders. Two of them are women from the family race, and even the second daughter of the earl is among them. They are all prepared to be given to His Majesty the Emperor! The cost of collecting this batch of women is even higher than the value of those treasures!

In the province of Halcharhan, the Earl's family's racial influence is really not small, with a long history and fierce fighting power, but in the entire empire, it is nothing! With his status, he is not qualified to marry the royal family, so he can only send his daughter to the palace as an errand in this way. If he is lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty the Emperor and gain favor, the family members will deliberately consider it. Benefits!

The count inspected them and gave them some warnings. So Fang, accompanied by the butler, went out, boarded the spaceship and waited outside the palace. The group of women transferred to another spaceship to follow.

In the entire Halcharhan Province, as well as in the surrounding cosmic areas, all races and plutocratic families that are important enough to meet the emperor are making careful preparations.

In the palace, Ye Qingyuan was discussing the Imperial Regiment's next strategy plan with the ministers.

"Your Majesty, after more than a month of long-range first-speed attacks, the Imperial Fleet needs to suspend its offensive and take a good rest!" Gurungs said.

Ye Qingyuan said: "It is necessary to rest and recuperate, but Zhu Zhaohe's fleet is squatting a thousand light years away. I can't wait to take advantage of the current high morale to deal with it. After a while, just I’m afraid that his fierce fighting power will become even stronger, and by then I might have a lot of unnecessary things to do!”

Leng Zhuo said: "Having said that, after our fleet has been engaged in high-intensity battles for several days, many warships of various types have experienced more or less problems, and large-scale repairs and maintenance must be carried out. Otherwise, It will directly affect the fleet’s fierce combat effectiveness!”

"And the Halcharhan Province is currently under our control. As long as we do not lose this place, the general trend of the entire Yunmeng Galaxy will be dominated by us, and it will be difficult for the Shuofeng Empire to be used! Our expected strategic goals have been Achieved, so it’s time to recharge and prepare for the next round of offensive!”

"However, regarding Zhu Zhaohe, he currently has no guts to start a war with us. Even if we advance, he will just choose to retreat, so let him live a little longer for the time being!"

"That's the same truth!" Ye Qingyuan nodded gently and asked, "How is the progress of the East Route Army?"

Ziyuan Lan said: "Cameron's fleet has arrived in the Black River universe area, and the progress is quite smooth, but it is still some distance from the Solomon Province. Even if there is no obstruction, it will take at least five days to arrive!"

"The defensive force over there is equally strong. I'm afraid we will have to fight a fierce battle before we can capture this crucial eastern hub!"

Even if Solomon Province is successfully conquered, the territory actually occupied by the Daomang Empire is only half of the Yunmeng Galaxy, and at least 300 cosmic areas still belong to the Shuofeng Empire. However, as long as these two most important hubs in this galaxy are mastered, In your hands, you can take advantage of the trend to sweep the remaining areas of the universe. Those areas of the universe that are undefendable cannot compete with the general trend!

Ye Qingyuan pondered for a moment and finally agreed.

After the meeting, Shuang Yan came in to report the request for an audience with representatives of various local ethnic groups. He looked at Leng Zhuo and asked, "How do you think this should be handled?"

She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just meet them! From now on, the stability and prosperity of this cosmic region will also be used in places where they can be used. It is appropriate to comfort them now!"

"All right!"

Near the entrance of the palace is a huge spaceship take-off and landing square. At this moment, hundreds of luxury spaceships are parked. A large number of well-dressed men and women with humble expressions walked down the gangway. Under the guidance of the palace guards, they boarded the flying car and gathered there. Meet at the lounge at the edge of the square.

There, officials from the Royal Oversight Council have collaborated with a large number of high-star awakened people to identify the big bosses who came to see them one by one. However, the gifts they brought must be registered and handed over to the Officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs took care of it on their behalf, and the women were temporarily placed in rest areas nearby. How to deal with it in the end depends on His Majesty the Emperor's wishes. If he refuses to accept it, these gifts will still have to be returned to the original owner!

All the prominent celebrities and gentry from the entire Halcharhan Province were present, totaling about three hundred people! This number is not that many. In previous years, this number would have been at least a thousand people! .

Mainly because so many things have happened in the Shuofeng Empire in the past few years! Since the Kilizako War, the empire has had several successive leaders. Political purges triggered by power disputes have come one after another, and the bloodshed in the court has also spread to other places!

Many ethnic groups and forces that had previously responded to the local problems were implicated because of the collapse of the imperial capital's backers. The better ones sacrificed a lot of interests to keep themselves safe, while the unlucky ones ended up with their master! Especially after Zhu Zhaoyuan came to power, she went crazy to purge her in order to consolidate her power!

After several years of constant disputes, the number of forces that can still stand today is less than half of what it was before! When the Daomang Empire's fleet came over, all the forces attached to the Zhu Zhaoyuan family and the eight major families were included in the purge list! Therefore, there are only just over 20% of the family races and powers that are qualified to meet His Majesty the Emperor!

The demise of a large number of forces left a huge profit void, which was mostly divided up by Zhu Zhaoyuan and the people of the eight major families. Now, all of them have benefited from His Majesty the Emperor!

The situation in other provinces seems to be different from here. The old power system of the empire has been almost completely cleansed! The rest is that everyone is in danger and no longer dares to have any strange thoughts in order to protect themselves. Part of the reason why the Daomang fleet is progressing so smoothly is because the local forces in the occupied area are very respectful. Not only did they quickly express their surrender, they also directly helped the subsequent fleet stabilize the situation and appease the people! In order to gain the favor of the new ruler, it actually saved the empire's senior officials a lot of effort!

Previously, the main fleet of the empire was busy advancing and had no time to pay attention to them. Now that the war has subsided, these forces that are willing to move closer to themselves should be met and appeased by reason and reason! Therefore, Ye Qingyuan readily agreed with Leng Zhuo's suggestion.

These big shots were invited to a hall to take a rest. The Earl of Luton's place was at the head of the queue, and was almost to the Jade Star. He looked back, exchanged a few glances with some familiar people, and then began to wait patiently.

A few minutes later, the palace female official announced loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone stood up quickly and saw a young man with black eyes, black hair, and a very handsome face. Surrounded by a group of palace guards, he turned out from behind the bright yellow jade dragon screen and walked toward the Jade Star. He was sitting on the throne, and beside him was a beautiful, elegant and quiet woman in a white dress. From this, it was judged that she should be the imperial concubine.

Is this His Majesty the Emperor? The fierce fighting power is truly unfathomable! At the same time, he is too young, and his future development potential is really difficult to estimate! The Earl of Luton looked at the other party for a few times and then quickly lowered his head, bowed and half-knelt down to salute, which was a good way to hide the shock in his eyes!

Others also knelt down and saluted without hesitation. This was the highest etiquette to express surrender. When meeting one's future master for the first time, it was natural that the etiquette should be more solemn. From now on, they only need to bow and salute when meeting their future master.

"You don't need to be polite, please sit down and talk!" Ye Qingyuan stood in front of the throne, looking for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com He raised his hands and smiled at the big guy below.

The various subtle expressions and reactions of these people were naturally hidden from him at the moment. Regarding their feelings at the moment, the emperor could also understand and of course he would not care.

The maids moved seats, and everyone watched the emperor take his seat before daring to follow him.

The Earl of Luton breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Rumor has it that His Majesty is approachable and gentle, and he treats individuals and forces who are willing to sincerely submit to him. It seems to be true!

Just judging from the waiting time before the audience, we can know that His Majesty the Emperor still values ​​them very much! If you don't like them, you have to wait for at least an hour, and there is no guarantee of results!

They are all old people in the vanity fair. They have always been extremely sensitive to all kinds of intentional and unintentional hints about the superiors, and will make the most appropriate response accordingly. Otherwise, they will not be able to ensure that they remain standing despite multiple purges. !

His Majesty the Emperor's peaceful attitude dispelled most of their concerns, and they were more looking forward to the upcoming talks. (~^~)
