Walk alone in the abyss

"The support for the new federation stems from the maintenance and support of the two civilizational concepts of freedom and democracy. We have seen the empire's determination to destroy the new federation in this military operation of the empire.

"We can't help but wonder if the new federation falls, will it be me, us next.

"We have not reached any agreement with the New Federation and the United States of Freedom. This aid is purely based on morality and justice, and it is also to protect the interests and safety of our own citizens..."

Morality?

Yang Ming looked at the Prime Minister of the League of Guell in the picture, this kind-hearted old lady, who gave a speech half a day ago.

He always felt that this lady told a joke that the galaxy never existed.

What is the real reason for their sending troops?

Yang Ming stood in front of the big screen with his hands behind his back, constantly thinking.

"Commander Hanton!"

Some anxious shouts came from behind.

When the commander shouted, Yang Ming became energetic. ——After all, the generals of the military department all called him Mr. Ghost and Mr. Hunton, which showed that he was only a nominal coach.

"A meeting again?"

"No, no," the middle-ranking officer calmed down and said quickly, "His Royal Highness Daphne is about to arrive in the rear army, and she brought a letter of commendation from His Majesty, for you personally."

Yang Ming was startled.

Commendation letter?

He lost the battle, lost the occupied land, and killed so many people. The emperor wants to give him a letter of commendation?

Is this going to make him an enemy of the military?

Not right either.

Yang Ming asked: "Did I make a mistake? Did we win the battle? Just give me a letter of commendation?"

"Well, why don't you ask His Royal Highness Daphne in person."

"Well, I'll pass right away. Report this matter to Lieutenant General Thomas, but don't say anything about it."

"Yes, Commander!"

Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, didn't say much, and rushed straight to the stern compartment of the command ship.

...

Daphne did bring a letter of commendation from His Majesty the Emperor, but after a few glances, Yang Ming judged that it was not written by the Emperor himself, but just added the Emperor's 'advanced watermark'.

Nothing else, the old emperor is afraid that he does not have this culture.

Daphne looked at the detailed battle report brought by Yang Ming, and sighed softly: "There are so many soldiers killed and injured in one war."

On her delicate face, there was a sadness that didn't seem fake.

"Are you performing?" Yang Ming asked.

"I also have basic personal emotions and a sense of belonging," Daphne retorted unceremoniously, "On the contrary, you, in the face of the deaths of so many soldiers, can be so calm."

"This is war."

Yang Ming put his hands in his pockets, and asked calmly: "I have accepted the commendation letter, don't publicize this matter to the outside world."

"Well, it's not appropriate to publicize this at this time," Daphne said, "Besides, I brought the thing you've always wanted the most."

Yang Ming turned his head and looked over: "Cell cluster?"

Daphne seemed to like Yang Ming's expression very much, she looked at him carefully for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "It's on my ship, I can send it to you later."

Yang Ming laughed and said, "Why are you so generous this time? Could it be a fraud?"

"This is what my uncle promised to you. This time you help the empire take the blame for the war public opinion, and your uncle should also express it."

Daphne took a sip of the hot drink, holding the teacup in her thin hands, and said warmly:

"Handon, do you want it now?"

"Don't worry," Yang Ming said indifferently, "After I get it, I have to find a way to see how to absorb it. What they mean is to let me engage in gene fusion to improve the purity of my genes. This may require some equipment. .”

"Yeah?"

Yang Ming said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe I can directly absorb the strange energy inside when I come into contact with this group of cells."

"Then I'll have someone bring the things over to you."

"Why didn't you just bring it here?"

"The main reason is that I was still hesitating just now, whether I should give it to you directly," Daphne lowered her hair and sent out a message, "I was still thinking about whether I should get some benefits from you."

Yang Ming walked to her side and took a seat, leaned against the soft sofa, and exhaled softly:

"The empire has lost..."

"Yes, I was also shocked when I heard the news," Daphne said. "The three major powers will attack at the same time. I'm afraid our life will be difficult in the future."

Yang Ming asked: "Do you know the inside story?"

"I heard something. Before I came, my uncle and the others held an emergency meeting, and I was listening."

Daphne groaned a few times, with memories and thoughts in her eyes.

"They suspect that this is the interference of high-dimensional civilization, and they also say that this may be for the periodic balance of the millennium, a kind of regulation of the strength of the faction."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows.

Daphne asked: "Do you know what this means? Can you tell me? As an exchange of information."

"Of course, in fact, you can also get this information from your uncle."

Yang Ming said:

"A low-level civilization trial called the Faya Game, low-level civilizations are scattered in all corners of the galaxy in the space-time bubble.

"The trial is carried out in the form of five into three, and each low-level civilization will be connected to a game called "Abyss". The background of this game is the digitization of a certain moment in the Milky Way.

"Of course, this digitalization is just a general statement, they will simplify many things, and then extend it backwards independently.

"I come from one of the civilizations, called the Forerunner, and the mission of the Forerunner is to take over his home planet... Well, this is my biggest secret, and you are now the third person in the empire to know."

Daphne stared at Yang Ming: "Aren't you from the Empire?"

"I'm an imperial person, it's very complicated," Yang Ming pointed to his own brain, "Consciousness fusion."

"This is really shocking information." Daphne subconsciously checked the surrounding shielding device and found that the device was functioning normally, and then she was relieved, "This matter must not be made known to others, otherwise your public opinion will be completely destroyed." will be destroyed."

Yang Ming smiled: "Don't worry, Faya's game is kept secret, and no one dares to offend the high-dimensional civilization. Since it is an information exchange, then you should give me some valuable information."

"Okay, allow me to think about it."

Daphne also leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Yang Ming turned his head to look at her side face, her crystal clear and smooth skin, and her slightly trembling long eyelashes, looked like a blushing apple.

"As a partner, I don't have much information to tell you, because the core information I have access to is still very little."

Daphne said:

"Which aspect are you more interested in? Forget it, I'll share all these news with you.

"The news that shocked me the most is that my uncle and the others have actually confirmed with the senior officials of the United States of Freedom and the Guell Alliance that they have received orders from the Fayas.

"The content of the order is similar, it is to defeat the empire's expeditionary legion head-on, at all costs, to weaken the strength of the empire, and to balance the military influence of the four major camps in the galaxy.

"They also mentioned that the inscription of this order is the "Faya's Game" project team."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

He really doesn't understand the Faya civilization.

What is the main purpose of Faya's game? Isn't it to populate the galaxy? Or is it the so-called 'possibility' that Brother Faya has been emphasizing?

This made Yang Ming a little confused.

Daphne said softly: "Besides, the Imperial Guard system seems to be broken."

"broken?"

"Yes, there have been many times when the response is not sensitive," Daphne said. "They should be rebuilding a new Imperial Guard system, an upgraded version of the Imperial Guard system?"

Yang Ming's expression was slightly playful.

Daphne caught this keenly: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Yang Ming said with a calm smile, "Let's just upgrade, it has nothing to do with us."

"Well, on the contrary, I think they rely too much on the Imperial Guard system."

"It can't be helped, Daphne," Yang Ming leaned towards her, "You have to remember one thing, the empire's territory is too large, if you want to rule such a large territory and span such a large space dimension, you must Relying on some unconventional means."

"Well, I feel the same way."

Daphne smiled, turned her head and looked at Yang Ming, and then the two of them coincidentally looked away.

"Is that all the information?" Yang Ming asked.

"Others are trivial matters. Although the senior management of the Foreign Affairs Bureau has been purged, the Foreign Affairs Bureau cannot stop working, especially at this moment, when new elders have taken over the Foreign Affairs Bureau."

Daphne paused, then sighed softly:

"We have lost this battle, and we will have to rest for more than three months.

"Now that the three major powers have joined forces, our situation will be very difficult. If we continue to fight, we will inevitably pay a heavy price, and the results we can obtain will be very limited.

"But if we retreat now, the overall deterrence of the empire will be greatly reduced. It is good that the alliance of the three major powers is disbanded. If they do not disband, the empire will fall into complete passiveness."

Yang Ming said: "This is an equal war. The empire has fought too many asymmetric wars."

"But what we need is a clean war that can continuously deliver resources and population to the empire, instead of falling into a quagmire and constantly consuming our resources and population," Daphne folded her arms, "Three months It may be nothing, but after a long time, such as a delay of half a year, there will be problems of one kind or another within us."

Yang Ming nodded slowly.

He asked, "What do you think?"

"In the face of such a major event, personal political pursuits must be pushed back," Daphne said, "I hope you can also have this kind of awareness, Hanton, if you want the empire to protect your home planet, you must We must first ensure that he will not decline."

Yang Ming looked at Daphne: "Director Yinuo wants me to kill the high-level officials of the three great powers?"

Daphne laughed: "As expected of you, what you always think about in your mind is to solve everything by personal force. That is useless. It only kills those who hold power, not the power itself. The structure of power will not affect it. Someone will come up soon and continue to follow the will of the dead politician. Just like our Foreign Affairs Bureau, it is said that the first thing the new uncle takes office is to check all the files of the dead person in charge, and continue to advance the dozens of projects that were going on before. a plan."

Yang Ming's fingers trembled slightly.

Daphne sighed: "The Foreign Affairs Bureau may have to impose a high military expenditure on the dependent countries."

"Aren't you afraid of the resistance of the dependent countries?"

"Most of the dependent countries are controlled by the empire from political economy to military culture. Only a small number of relatively strong dependent countries may have their own ideas," Daphne said. "I don't know much about these. The Foreign Affairs Bureau usually It's the area where Lorna and my older sister are active."

Yang Ming nodded slightly, bringing the topic back to the current war.

The two chatted without saying a word, occasionally exchanging some unimportant information.

About half an hour later.

Yang Ming suddenly throbbed.

He stood up abruptly from his seat, frowning and looked out the door.

He heard a strange heartbeat and felt some unspeakable longing, as if he wanted to tear open the alloy wall and rush over.

Ancient God Cell Group!

Yes, that's it.

Only it can make Yang Ming feel so impulsive.

Daphne observed carefully, keeping her expression on her face.

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Ming rushed up with a vigorous step, pulled open the thick blast door, and stared at the maid outside.

The maid was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously pushed forward the silver-white box she was holding in her hand. Yang Ming grabbed the box and hugged it tightly in her arms.

He knew it was exaggerated and immature to do so, but the desire in his heart made him unable to control himself.

‘Got it, get out of here. '

Yang Ming had this thought in his heart.

But his rationality is still there, and he has not lost his rationality. He began to consciously adjust his breathing to adapt himself to the existence of this group of cells, and the whirling figure constantly emerged in his heart.

Don't rush, absolutely don't rush.

He must calm down now, this may be a trap, if he escapes now, everything he did before will be in vain.

So what if his strength is doubled?

The light of the main gun of the dreadnought flickered in Yang Ming's mind.

He was panting.

About three to five minutes later, Yang Ming held the box in his hand, and gently stroked the edge of the box, as if he was stroking his lover's skin.

"It's wonderful, that's how it feels."

Daphne smiled and said, "You've lost your composure."

"What happened to the gaffe?"

Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, and walked back inside the shielding layer, and the maid hurriedly closed the explosion-proof door.

Yang Ming held the box, turned his head to look at Daphne, and whispered: "Your uncle asked you to observe me, right?"

Daphne's expression was slightly strange.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "He gave me this thing so happily, in fact, just to see if I have the ability to use it, right?"

"Yes."

"I have gradually figured out your style of conduct," Yang Ming laughed, opened the box, and saw the familiar hourglass inside.

Antimatter bomb.

This thing seems to be the standard configuration of the ancient god cell group.

Yang Ming breathed out, closed the box, and slowly placed it next to Daphne's lap.

"I need a gene dissociation device," Yang Ming said, "Please ask Director Ino to help me make a device, which is the device that Professor Kigrove once made, and put it on my planet Saka, and wait for the war to end later , I will go to Sakar for surgery."

"good."

Daphne smiled and said, "You really know how to make conditions."

"I deserve it," Yang Ming said with a smile, "It's really good to cooperate with the Sherman family."

Daphne asked: "Then when are you going to do our business?"

"Do you have a need?"

Daphne froze for a moment, then looked aside: "I can do it."

"Then just wait a little longer," Yang Ming rubbed his eyes, "Catheri and I haven't broken up yet."

"Captain Catherine is a nice woman," Daphne said suddenly, "Why don't you let me negotiate with her."

"Stay away from her," Yang Ming stared at Daphne, "You seem to be more interested in Catherine than in me."

"Really?" Daphne laughed, "We're going to be husband and wife, dear."

Yang Ming curled his lips slightly: "I'm still going to sell myself. I'm leaving. The military department is holding intensive meetings. This is a good opportunity for me to show my face to the generals."

Daphne got up to see her off, and when Yang Ming opened the door, she still raised her hands and bowed slightly to Yang Ming.

"Good luck with your work."

Yang Ming: ...

It's a good thing he didn't say "Yang Sang", otherwise he would really have to dance.

One thing to say, is the family status of the men in the empire so high? Don't you have to hand over your salary card after marriage?

...

On the way back to the flagship, Yang Ming took advantage of the opportunity of taking the ferry and sent several text messages to Lu in one go.

The Foreign Affairs Bureau is still advancing the previous plan;

The pompous Shermans are experimenting with Imperial Guard 2.0;

The empire will impose high military expenditures on the dependent countries.

Law also sent several pieces of information, all about the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

Although the Foreign Affairs Bureau's plan to strangle Luofeng has been delayed for a while, it seems that this plan is still in operation now, and Luofeng's environment has become a little more relaxed, and it has begun to become tense again.

It's really endless.

Moreover, Ritsu made some not-so-good predictions.

Now that the empire is at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, it not only gives Luofeng a chance, but also poses new challenges to Luofeng.

The Luofeng Alliance has expanded outward for the second time, opening up a direct air route with the United Kingdom of Nonar. Now, the Luofeng Alliance has nine political bodies, with Luofeng as the absolute center inside, and each political body is watching and helping each other. The next step is how to divide the United Kingdom of Nonar and the military upgrades of the members of the Luofeng Alliance.

Time, all of this takes time.

Calculated according to the law, even relying on mechanical civilization, it will take two or three years to complete the set goal.

Luofeng had to survive two or three years under the strangulation of the empire.

[Law, be prepared with both hands. Once there is a problem with Luofeng, Dark Star will enter an undeveloped area to operate independently. 】

【yes. 】

Yang Ming exhaled lightly.

In the somewhat dim cabin, his expression flickered slightly.

[Boss, the latest news, the Foreign Affairs Bureau is about to summon all the emperors and kings of the dependent countries to hold a fundraising ceremony in the Emperor Star Circle to raise military expenses for the empire. 】

Yang Ming subconsciously frowned.

【Lü, don't let Edwan pass by, and don't forget Edwan's father's lesson. Ask him to ask for sick leave or something, pay what he should pay, and cooperate with everything. 】

【yes. 】
