Walk alone in the abyss

emperor star.

Yang Ming looked at the planet outside the porthole with a slightly distant gaze.

When he came here for the first time, he was still feeling the imaginative appearance of this modular planet, and the distant star that was "slaved" by it looked so bleak.

Later, because of his failure in the first confrontation with the core power of the empire, he was forced to use some harmful tactics and left the circle of Emperor Star.

Now he is back.

Beside him was the princess who was chosen back then, and this time there was no power or persecution, and he also had a little more confidence to chat with the master here in a friendly manner.

"looking at what?"

Daphne asked softly.

Yang Ming raised his head slightly: "Don't you think this planet is very eerie?"

"gloomy?"

Daphne laughed, and in front of the guards and maids, she took Yang Ming's arm and said softly:

"This kind of evaluation is not suitable for the great Emperor Star. This is the center of the empire. It should be sunny and full of humanity."

Yang Ming smiled without saying a word.

He asked, "Shall we go directly to the palace?"

"Well, a special banquet has been prepared to receive you over there," Daphne said softly, "I will see my father later, and please maintain a little more respect. Your insulting words before are still his father now." psychological shadow."

Boss Yang suddenly looked helpless.

Blame him?

If the old emperor hadn't pressed so hard last time, why would he use this method to fight back.

"Okay, I'll pay more attention."

Boss Yang gave a blank check.

...

The atmosphere in the palace was somewhat dull.

His majesty the great emperor is not in a clear mood now. From yesterday to now, three maids have been given random 'punishments', including but not limited to physical suffering.

Now, no one dared to come before His Majesty, and no one dared to mention any news about that lord.

At this time, the old maids whom His Majesty trusts the most - the administrators of the tentacles organization will need to appear on the stage.

A middle-aged maid appeared in the corner of the bedroom, lowered her head and rushed to the side of His Majesty the Emperor who was lying by the swimming pool.

"Your Majesty, Director Ino is on his way to the palace. He didn't add a memorandum of events, so he doesn't know the specific purpose."

"Well," the old emperor asked with his eyes closed, "where are my precious daughter and that annoying son-in-law?"

"Your Highness, they are already at the transfer station, and they will appear in front of you in half a galaxy, and extend our deepest respect to you."

"Honor? Huh."

The old emperor just sneered:

"This hero of the empire, how can he still put me in the eyes of the emperor who has nothing to do with him? Now behind him are those old guys, and I am just an idler elected by them to occupy the throne, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty, don't say that..."

The old maid sighed:

"You are the emperor of the empire and the ruler of all resources. If you are not important, why should the elders of the Sherman family follow your opinions in everything? They can completely bypass you. You are the foundation of the imperial system, yes The roots of a tree, and they are the trunk that connects the roots to the leaves, and you are the most important."

The old emperor opened his eyes, and raised his hand to caress the back of the middle-aged maid's hand.

"Okay, don't comfort me, I'm the emperor, but I'm just talking about my peers in the family. My elders are still alive, so I naturally have to respect them...

"This Hanton, doesn't he know how to make a deep repentance for the offense? It's been a few years! He didn't come to me to apologize seriously.

"Oh, I can't help but raise my blood pressure when I mention this guy!"

The middle-aged maid smiled and said:

"Doesn't this just mean that the young man you're looking at is not an ordinary nobleman who is following the crowd and obsessed with power, but is your right-hand man?

"Your Majesty, after he left Emperor Star these few years, he has been running around for the empire. The territory you rewarded him, Saka Star, has increased its population by 300%, and its economic index has increased by a hundred times. Emerging investment areas.

"On behalf of the Empire, he sent a mission to the New Federation, and severely humiliated the transformation fighters of the New Federation, which directly shattered the New Federation's plan to separate him from the Empire.

"He has worked hard in the Military Intelligence Bureau for two and a half years. Not only has he promoted a group of capable generals, but he has also improved and revised the framework of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Entrusted to your favorite Major General Atero, MI will be your other hand next.

"These are all his achievements. When our tentacles scored internally, we rated him quite well, Your Majesty."

The old emperor glanced at the middle-aged maid: "Could it be that you have accepted his favor?"

"Your Majesty, my soul and body belong to you."

"I know, you've been with me the longest, teacher...you mean, I should let go of my prejudice against him?"

"Actually, Your Majesty," the middle-aged maid sighed, "You have made some deviations in this matter in recent years. Think about it, if you can tolerate even someone who insulted you in person, you can Reuse, how will the history books evaluate it? Your bearing and layout will be unmatched by previous emperors."

"Yeah?"

The old emperor sat up slowly, as if he was thinking about something.

The old aunt did not persuade much, and everything should be done immediately:

She changed the subject and said slowly:

"Even if you don't like him in your heart, he can still be your help. His influence inside and outside the empire has surpassed all nobles.

"Many ignorant people see him as a savior.

"Especially when the swarm of insects comes next, which is expected to bring a once-in-a-thousand-year disaster to the empire. He is an ancient god warrior and the nemesis of the Zerg, and he can play many roles.

"If he carried your banner on his back and followed your will to fight against the once-in-a-thousand-thousand-year pest, the number of pages you occupy in the history book will inevitably increase by one to several pages.

"This disaster has never been encountered by the twenty emperors before you."

The old emperor breathed out softly: "You are right, teacher, this is a great opportunity."

"Your Majesty, Director Ino is coming soon, I need to avoid it."

"Well, go," the old emperor seemed to have thought of something, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "amend the previous order for me, let the concierge team come over, the highest standard concierge team, and inform the group of trash in the elders' house , Come and gather immediately, the largest banquet will be held in the palace tonight, to clean up the dust for my good son-in-law."

"You have finally figured it out, Your Majesty."

"Okay, don't flatter me like those people," the old emperor said with a smile, "I'm just an emperor, go."

The old maid bowed her head and saluted, then left gracefully.

Before leaving the palace gate, the maid revealed her watch and sent a message.

[The task has been completed, my lord. 】

Outside the palace gate, Director Ino, who was sitting on the suspended ferry, took out a network access terminal from his arms and glanced at it, and soon smiled a little.

His lovely nephew, His Majesty, is over a hundred years old, and he is still as innocent as before.

...

Yang Ming was taken aback by the palace's reception specifications.

He was already ready, and today he was ready to hold his nose and flatter the old emperor.

When he left the transfer station, got into the main car that greeted the convoy with Daphne, and headed to the palace module, he soon saw the projections on various buildings.

There are battle photos of the White Ghost everywhere;

There are colorful bright colors everywhere;

Welcome to the return of the heroes of the empire, such words as Emperor Star, Ghost Wushuang, and White Wave can be seen everywhere.

Even after the convoy drove for a certain distance, many semi-automatic mechanical policemen appeared on the road, standing upright one by one, blocking the people on both sides who kept waving their hands from the safety line.

This grand ceremony made Yang Ming mistakenly think that he had bombed Minte City.

"What's going on?" Yang Ming asked in bewilderment.

Daphne frowned slightly: "This is obviously a welcome for you... But, according to what I heard, my father still has some grudges against you, and today's welcome ceremony was ordered to be simple... Maybe the people spontaneously celebrated for you ?”

Boss Yang nodded: "It should be, I lowered the window to say hello to everyone."

"be safe."

Daphne leaned forward naturally, and took Yang Ming's arm.

Yang Ming lowered the car window and waved to the people gathered on the road, which immediately aroused bursts of cheers.

"White ghost! Nice white ghost!"

"The empire is proud of you!"

"Ghost! Ghost!"

There was an astonishing noise from the crowd, and the little vanity in Yang Ming's heart was greatly satisfied.

Daphne whispered beside her, "You have more male fans than female fans, which is really enviable."

"And you?"

"I have more female fans than male fans, about seven to three."

Yang Ming continued to smile and wave his hands, muttering, "I'm one of the male fans. You are much more dazzling on stage than on the bed."

Daphne raised her hand and twisted Yang Ming's arm.

The palace guard who was driving just laughed out loud.

They acted very affectionate, although nothing actually happened.

The crowd spread all the way to the vicinity of the palace module, and the situation inside the palace was no weaker than outside the palace.

A large number of guards of honor surrounded the road directly, and when Yang Ming and Daphne passed by arm in arm, they would raise their decorated firearms.

All the elders of the Elder's Court on Emperor Star had arrived, and all the dukes and princes on the surface of Emperor Star had arrived. They stood at the left and right sides outside the main hall of the palace, and gave warm applause to Yang Ming and Daphne's arrival.

The old emperor was wearing a white dress, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, sitting on the high seat that symbolized imperial power in the main hall.

Director Ino, who was wearing a white coat, was standing next to the throne, and was also giving a standing ovation at this moment, thus highlighting the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor.

Yang Ming muttered all kinds of crimes in his heart.

But the old emperor who was scolded by him for being so stupid back then, all put on this level of pattern. He is the hero of the empire, the white ghost, the master of the dark star, the actual controller of the Luofeng Alliance, the game pioneer of Faya, and the leader of Faya. Contractors of experimental projects and life forms of ancient gods should not be too stingy.

Yang Ming patted Daphne's little hand, gently broke away from her pull, gave a military salute to the old men and old ladies on the left and right, and then trotted forward, heading straight into the hall.

This group of seemingly most noble nobles of the empire followed into the hall.

Yang Ming stood still in front of the throne, his eyes were slightly moist, then he raised his head and waved his hands vigorously to His Majesty the Emperor.

"His Majesty!"

He shouted emotionally: "I'm back! Finally, I can see you again!"

Daphne forced herself not to laugh from behind, so that there was a slight tremor on her delicate face.

This guy Hanton's acting skills can definitely be a drama actor!

The old emperor got up and took the initiative to greet him.

Yang Ming lowered his head, and really squeezed out a little... crocodile tears.

After the drama of reconciliation between the emperor and his subjects, a grand banquet was held in the palace, and Yang Ming and Daphne were arranged beside the emperor. The two people's inseparable appearance also made many nobles understand Yang Ming's current status.

Especially the elders of the elders' house.

Before today, they had been following His Majesty's wishes, holding back all their energy, and wanted to attack the white ghost on Emperor Star. Even if the white ghost could not be punished, they still had to make him suffer.

But now, His Majesty the Emperor is fully expressing his love for the white ghost.

This made the elders think of... the incident where the former great elder led all the elders to force the palace, but was killed by the white ghost...

The elders quickly found their own positions, and hurriedly sent messages to the nobles who were offline, asking them to send more resources to Saka.

By the way, when the banquet gradually reached a small climax under the catalysis of singing and dancing, the newly appointed Grand Elder and the Archbishop of the Empire's Development God Religion came to toast Yang Ming together, saying a lot of praises such as thanking Yang Ming for his contribution to the empire discourse.

With the Great Elder and the Archbishop taking the lead, this group of nobles showed their favor one after another.

Although Yang Ming never refused to come, he didn't get too close to these nobles, but was simply polite.

The emperor was very satisfied with Yang Ming's performance.

The Empire Blade should look like the Empire Blade.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours, Director Ino wanted to go back to rest and bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor.

Director Yinuo glanced at Yang Ming before leaving, Yang Ming understood, got up and followed him, sent Director Yinuo out of the main hall, and walked to the nearby special elevator together.

"Hendon."

Ino's long temple hair is completely white.

Putting his hands in the outer pockets of his white coat, he admired the splendid night view of the palace, and said in a low voice, "Did the Faya people warn you of the coming insect swarm? Tell the truth."

"No," Yang Ming said, "They didn't show up to see me. So far, only when I defeated the Valkyrie, did I let a thought fragment of the Faya civilization individual show up and communicate directly with me. He asked me to let go Pass the Valkyrie."

"Where is Posa now?"

"The border of the empire was locked up by me," Yang Ming said with a smile, "With me here, there is no need for mother-in-law."

Director Yinuo turned his head to stare at Yang Ming, who returned with a faint smile.

Director Ino asked: "Then how did you know that the bug swarm was coming? I mean, you seemed to know the news months in advance before we explored the border of the galaxy and confirmed that the bugs were gathering on a large scale."

"A kind of induction," Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "When I close my eyes, or when I feel some strange feelings in my heart, I can see a starry sky, see the green light spots representing the Zerg, and see the inner space of the Milky Way. The fire of human civilization, this fire is so fragile."

Director Ino nodded: "Yes, this flame is so fragile that it cannot withstand a small fluctuation in the large galaxy cluster."

"This swarm may cause many civilian casualties."

Yang Ming's eyes were extremely sincere:

"No matter how you look at me, I still want to try my best to play my role in this bug swarm. This may be the reason why the Faya people urged me to get the cell cluster."

Director Ino whispered: "Do you know why I suddenly gave you cell clusters?"

"note?"

"Yes."

Director Ino narrowed his eyes slightly:

"The Fayas are getting ready for their game.

"They are adjusting the power of regimes across the galaxy.

"I have contacted the Guell Union and similar organizations of the United States of Freedom in private, and they gave me a definite answer. They followed the will of the Fayans, so they joined this war in order to carry out the empire's military power to a certain extent. The degree of weakening, to maintain the strength of the top three powers of the new federation."

Yang Ming frowned and asked: "The insect swarm is about to strike, and the Great Queen is about to ascend the dimension. Why do you want to weaken the Empire? Shouldn't the Empire have stronger power to fight against the Great Queen?"

"Because the Great Queen can't threaten the empire at all," Director Ino chuckled, "We have at least three secret weapons that can repel the Great Queen who is on the verge of dimension ascension."

Yang Ming: ...

Fortunately, he did not choose to turn against the empire directly.

This background is really scary.

"Hendon, the empire's secret weapon cannot be tampered with at will."

Director Ino looked at Yang Ming:

"But I still hope that the empire will lose less population.

"As you said, any citizen should have the right to live, and I respect that right.

"I have paved the way for you. Next, you will participate in the preparations for the fight against the bug swarm, and you will temporarily obtain a lot of authority to mobilize the empire's combat readiness resources.

"I predict that before and after this bug swarm, Faya's game may start, although I don't quite understand what the Faya people are waiting for.

"As long as you live up to the empire, the empire will not let down your home planet. We have prepared 30,000 imperial aristocratic quotas and 10 billion imperial citizen quotas for your home planet. This is what you deserve."

Yang Ming clenched his fists slightly, nodded his head firmly, "Even if it's all about me!"

Director Ino smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Go back, don't let our emperor think too much, you are too intimate with me, he will be jealous."

Yang Ming stood still and gave a military salute.

When Director Yinuo boarded the ferry, Yang Ming watched for a certain distance before turning around.

At a certain moment, the old and the young had an extremely faint but very similar smile.

It was a slightly disdainful smile.

I'm sorry, I originally wanted to make up for it in the third shift, but I didn't expect something urgent at home. My daughter suffered a 40-degree stroke and never retreated, so I flew back to Chongqing from Weihai, where I was in retreat at noon, and just finished a chapter after returning from the hospital. I'll make it up again when the little bean sprouts recover.

This month's update is not very diligent, sorry to ask for tickets, I will work hard next month!
