Walk alone in the abyss

【Shocking! The banquet of all the affiliated countries of the empire is about to be held, and the white ghost suddenly released a live broadcast preview! 】

[The white ghost is really not dead! 】

[The white ghost is coming back! 】

In the huge Sherman Empire, various portals, regional websites, and popular search terms on social media were "shuffled" within ten minutes.

The white ghost suddenly released a live preview through the only designated official media of the white ghost - the White Ghost Galaxy Support Club, which directly caused the somewhat quiet imperial network world to boil again.

The official Sherman Empire was silent.

Inside and outside the Emperor Star Circle, the people went to the streets, there was no parade, they just ran around the streets, shouting for the return of the ghosts.

But soon, the White Ghost Galaxy Fan Support Club took the initiative to cool down and issued a simple announcement.

[The white ghost has not yet completed its own reorganization.

[But what is happening in the empire, the white ghost can no longer endure.

[The prosperity of the empire should not be based on the blood sucking of the dependent countries and the bad luck of tens of billions of human beings in the dependent countries.

[Empires should respect every political system, no matter strong or weak.

[In this live broadcast, there will be no direct voice from the white ghost, but we will show the latest status of the white ghost for everyone who cares about the situation of the white ghost. 】

This announcement was placed in the top three positions of the major search lists by Lu's own navy.

The white ghost's political statement successfully brought the attention of the people of the empire to the Jin Rongxing dinner that had officially started.

The live broadcast counts down fifty minutes.

Although the officials of the Sherman Empire remained silent, several princes, princes, and officials who were highly concerned by the people jointly issued a "Letter to the People".

The announcement explains:

The relationship between the Sherman Empire and the vassals was based on the Suzerainty Treaty, which was recognized by all the vassals;

The Sherman Empire provided military asylum and economic assistance to the dependent countries, and never coerced the dependent countries politically;

Now that the Sherman Empire is suffering a once-in-a-thousand-year crisis, the assistance of the dependent countries is a respect for the suzerain country, and it is also a clearly stipulated clause in the suzerain country treaty.

When the empire returns to normal order, it will continue to provide sanctuary to these subject countries.

This is not the so-called blood-sucking, it is just a normal circulation of resources and a guarantee for the happy life of the people of the empire.

In addition, the second half of this announcement directly tore up the white ghost.

Because there are too many supporters of the white ghost, they dare not directly scold them, but just make some standpoint speeches secretly.

‘The competition between interstellar regimes is related to the security and development of each regime. Sometimes this kind of competition is extremely cruel, and individual members who are truly responsible and responsible should consider issues from the standpoint of the regime.

‘Are some so-called heroes of the empire still standing on the side of the hundreds of billions of people in the empire?

'We need to put a question mark on that. '

After the release of the "Report to the People", the direction of public opinion seems to have changed.

——Naturally, the imperial navy and imperial aristocratic interest groups are behind the group building.

However, just as the wind of public opinion was about to be taken away by them, student Xiao Lu made a decisive move.

The countdown to the live broadcast was 40 minutes, and the White Ghost Fan Support Club issued a brief announcement again.

【The interests of the collective are not the interests of small groups, and the interests of small groups are often based on the exploitation of the entire group.

[The empire’s blood-sucking vassal state is to guarantee military expenditures, foreign expansion, and plundering of interests. The people benefit less than 3%, and the main aristocratic class benefits 30%. The Sherman family and its affiliated forces will take Take most of the wealth that should belong to the people and the people of the empire's dependent countries.

[The emperor of the dependent country can be regarded as a great noble outside the empire.

[Please stop this kind of persecution. The largest wealth group in the empire is the great aristocratic forces in the empire. If they go to blood-sucking dependent countries and persecute tens of billions of people, it is better to dismantle the great aristocratic forces. The empire can survive ten crises smoothly.

[The source of the crisis is the greed of the great nobles! 】

This has started to be head-on.

The empire officials have already adopted various methods to try to block the voice channels of the White Ghost fan support club, but many technical teams of the imperial military have come to a unified conclusion-unless the empire network is completely paralyzed and completely dead, otherwise they cannot completely block it White Ghost Fan Support Club.

If the Imperial Guard system is not activated, they will not have any advantage in domestic public opinion.

The two voices of the White Ghost fan club became two sharp swords.

With the help of these two swords, the New Federation, the Free United States, and the Guell Alliance began a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the official navy of the empire.

Demonstrations again took place across the Empire;

Public opinion, which had been strongly suppressed by the imperial military before, began to rebound again.

All major forces in the Milky Way judged that the White Specter was trying to stop the Empire's blood-sucking vassal states in this way, and the current public opinion offensive was already the 'climax' tonight.

However, apart from Yang Ming, who was sitting in the palace of Emperor Ilanduo, and the very few executors of the "Challenger" plan, such as Li, Molly, Mimily, and Kolev, no one knew about these announcements. Be it the live broadcast or the preview, they are actually leftovers.

They are simply applying pressure;

At this moment, under this pressure, the empire has begun to accelerate their pace of harvesting.

In Edwan's bedroom, Yang Ming stood by the window sill with his hands behind his back, looking towards the garden below.

"Lun, what's going on at the banquet?"

"The speeches of several guests have been temporarily canceled. They should take out the blood-sucking treaty in advance and enter the signing process."

"Tsk," Yang Ming shook his head, "Control the rhythm, don't let them go too fast."

"Understood... The terminators are ready..."

"Lü, I'm actually hesitant," Yang Ming said in a low voice, "Will we damage Edwan's reputation by doing this? I don't want his reputation to be stained."

"Boss, we have no time to modify the plan now."

"Just keep going," Yang Ming sighed, "I'm just... fine, Edwan shouldn't blame me."

Lily asked softly, "Would you like Emilia to come and accompany you?"

"Alright, let her come over, it would be nice to watch the fireworks together."

...

Sherman Empire, Jin Rongxing, banquet venue at sea.

The music stopped suddenly, and the dim lights that were originally created to create an ambiguous atmosphere gradually became blurred.

The crowd on the dance floor moved to the edge of the dance floor to take their seats, and the several light skin cell exchange ceremonies that were going on were also forced to come to an end.

The round platform in the middle of the dance floor slowly rose, and the second-ranked elder of the Sherman Empire Presbyterian House, along with Prince Jinofu, the noble representative of the Sherman Empire, walked towards the round platform from left to right.

They opened the most important program of this banquet.

The more than 20 emperors of the dependent countries and the heads of governments of more than a dozen small regimes sitting in the most prominent positions of the venue were all a little nervous at the moment.

Of course they know the specific process today;

But they didn't know what kind of treaty was waiting for them.

The leaders of those vassal states that have long been separated from the Sherman Empire are looking extremely ugly at the moment;

The leaders of the dependent states that counted on the survival of the Sherman Empire were mostly nervous.

The vassal state system, to put it bluntly, is the empire's "raising dogs and killing dogs". The leaders of the vassal states in the latter case hope that because of their previous performance of complete loyalty, they can get a little reduction today.

The spotlight fell, and the elders and princes on the round stage in the center of the dance floor showed gentlemanly and charming smiles at this moment.

When the Sherman Empire did such dirty things, it definitely wanted to beautify it as much as possible.

The elders praised the history of the great empire;

The Prince called everyone to their feet, in deepest respect to the great Sherman Emperor;

Then, they sang together and raised their butcher knives.

"...The strength of the empire, I think everyone has an intuitive experience. This political system that has existed for tens of thousands of years has made indelible contributions to the prosperity of human civilization in the galaxy."

"The political struggle between the stars is extremely cruel. A political system is a civilization. Every civilization wants to obtain more resources, so that they can become stronger, feed more population, and then go to find more resource."

"Our Sherman Empire completed this process of expansion tens of thousands of years ago."

"In the following tens of thousands of years, our territory has hardly changed. We have abandoned many administrative stars and resource stars, and developed more administrative stars and resource stars. From this perspective, the empire is definitely the most powerful in the galaxy. It is the most peaceful, most stable, and the political system that has made the greatest contribution to human civilization."

"However, there will always be new forces rising up and wanting to challenge us."

"They are in a cycle of expansion, and they are justified in exporting the culture and ideology of their own civilization, and proud of plundering more resources."

"They don't know that these are things we have experienced tens of thousands of years ago. They always say that we are backward, but they are the ones who are really backward."

"Now, the empire has encountered some difficulties... Although it is a bit hard to say, the imperial heroes cultivated by the empire have deliberately detonated the class conflicts within the empire."

"Every political system has class contradictions, and our empire is actually one of the political systems that respect public opinion the most. This is far better than the new federation that implements policies to fool the people and control public opinion."

"If there is a problem, we have to solve it. The new federation has become our biggest threat. The continuous bloodletting of the new federation and the rapid decline of its national strength are our most critical decisions to resolve internal and external conflicts."

"Today, let all your majesties and leaders gather here to discuss how to solve these problems."

The butcher knife began to slip.

Prince Jinuofu sighed for a long time, and said solemnly:

"Everyone must understand the difficulties of the empire, and our promise to you will never be invalidated.

"First of all, you will get a contract that we tailor for each affiliated government."

At the edge of the venue, two teams of hostesses stepped forward, placing metal contracts and special laser pointers in front of the emperors of the dependent countries.

Many people hesitated before lowering their heads to read carefully.

Needle drop could be heard throughout the banquet hall.

About thirty seconds later...

"impossible!"

A rich old man with gray hair shouted tremblingly:

"Doesn't the empire need us to continue to exist? We have been paying yearly silver to the empire! We still have 2.6 billion people! We... can't do it!"

Someone spoke up, and the other emperors spoke up one after another:

"This is too harsh!"

"When we faced the threat of the insect swarm, the empire did not help us, but now, the contract given by the empire requires us to hand over the ownership of all resources and industries... We are a dependent country, not a slave country!"

"Is the Empire's move too radical?"

"Could it be that we have no value in the judgment of the empire?"

Suddenly, there were some noisy discussions in the banquet hall.

Someone grovels and begs the empire for mercy;

Someone pushed the contract to the ground, with a cold expression on his face;

Some people earnestly tried to persuade the aristocratic lords of the empire to be lenient and give their country a bit of dignity and dignity.

Revel sat in the corner and carefully watched the 'farce' in front of him, sighed slightly, and clinked glasses with his buddies around him.

Several of the young nobles whispered in a low voice:

"What if they don't sign?"

Reville smiled and said: "In business, you must ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. The empire will definitely reduce a little room. If you ask for 60 at the beginning, they will also react the same way, but if you ask for 200 first, then you will pay back the money later." Then lower it to sixty, and promise that they and their descendants can enter the Sherman Empire to live and obtain some titles, then most of them will gladly accept it."

"It's basically this routine."

"These small countries are so sad."

"Look, look over there," Revell pointed to another corner.

There, Her Royal Highness Princess Lorna, dressed up to attend the banquet, got up together with a group of deputy directors of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and walked towards the emperors of the dependent countries in charge.

With a relaxed smile, Princess Rhona sat straight beside Edwan, who had been silent all the time, and whispered something intimately in Edwan's ear.

Revel raised his eyebrows slightly.

His Majesty Edwan really has a problem.

He betrayed his country and the Luofeng Alliance?

If that's the case, it's just too... almost indescribable.

Under the spotlight, Princess Rhona whispered in Edwan's ear:

"The contract you got is the most demanding among these, you know what to do, right?"

"Of course," 'Edwan' said with a chuckle, "Isn't the meaning of my existence just for the present?"

Rona smiled softly: "How about having a drink with me tonight? I'm very curious about you."

"Oh, this...we are different, Your Highness," 'Edwan' frowned slightly, and whispered, "Let's talk about this contract, if I sign it, not only the Luofeng Empire will suffer huge Crack down, the Luofeng Alliance will also become the empire's possession, is that right?"

"This is a piece of fat. If the empire can swallow it, it will gain the necessary energy to survive this crisis."

"But, implicating those innocent members of the Luofeng Alliance, isn't this too inhumane?"

Lorna's pretty face turned cold: "Put your position right, Edwan."

"Of course, oh, of course I will put my position right, and I will sign it," 'Edwan' sighed in a low voice, "but I still feel... the people of the dependent countries are inherently inferior to the people of the empire Is it? Or, whether it is a dependent country or an empire, the civilian class is equal, and everyone is a domestic animal raised by the noble class?"

"It's pointless for you to think about these things," Rhona said softly, "Now, it's time for you to stand up and announce that you accept all the conditions."

'Edwan' nodded.

He pursed his lips tightly, read the first few pages of the contract again, then smiled wryly, and slowly got up.

"Is independence worthy of the basic right to survival?"

He muttered, slowly getting up.

The fixed-point loudspeaker equipment has locked on the mouth of 'Edwan', and all eyes are on the emperor of the empire's largest subsidiary country.

'Edward' said: "I like..."

Hum——

Ping ping ping!

The banquet hall was filled with ear-piercing noises, and the sound of crystal tableware being smashed was heard one after another.

'Edwan' looked stunned, he was the source of the noise.

He raised his hand to touch his face, and the blood-red fake flesh stuck to his fingers;

He looked down at his chest, where a mass of 'flesh and blood' exploded, exposing the silver-white metal structure inside.

The hands and feet made of bionic materials began to dissolve rapidly like melting wax figures.

'Edwan' turned to look at Lorna, tremblingly said:

"I, what's wrong with me?"

Lorna's face was pale, and she dodged aside helplessly, lest she might get dirty.

A needle could be heard in the entire banquet hall for a few seconds, but then there were screams, and the emperors of seven dependent countries also stood up in panic, and their bodies began to melt simultaneously.

In Law's thinking space, hundreds of clones in different costumes are busy behind the fictional consoles.

The main body of Law curled his mouth slightly, and pressed the button in front of him.

The video of Edwan's body suddenly melting and exposing the mechanical body appeared simultaneously on the servers of the intelligence departments of the major polities in the galaxy.

At the same time, the clones around Ritsu have started a series of operations.

The high-level executives of the New Federal CIA haven't finished watching this video. This video spreads to the network world at home and abroad at an extremely fast speed through the channels of the new Federal CIA's subordinate agencies.

This is their first wave of offensive.

The second update! There's more at 12 o'clock!
