Chapter 488: Queen Luofeng's Promise
“Boss, the Empire has begun mobilizing its troops!
“It is estimated that up to 30,000 main battleships will appear on the northern border of the New Federation. The Empire has issued a war warning and requires the Empire’s citizens living abroad to leave the New Federation!
“Is it reason that’s behind this?
"Why do we feel like we set a trap for them and they just fall right in without saying anything?"
Lu, who was hiding behind the projection screen and making a report, couldn't help but fall into self-doubt at this moment.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "We need to ask the truth about this matter."
Emilia, who had changed into a pink and white short skirt, put down the communicator in her hand and looked up and said, "Bounty hunter, could this be a trap? I'm worried that they will suddenly target us."
“It’s possible.”
Yang Ming restrained his smile:
“The continuous turmoil during this period has cost the empire a great price, and the economic indicators that were originally running near the danger line have declined across the board.
“The empire’s eagerness to launch foreign wars can actually be seen as an attempt to shift conflicts outward and forcibly suppress various problems within the country.
“However, we must remain vigilant. We have slapped the Empire in the face this time. Given the vengeful nature of those old bastards in the Sherman family, they will definitely target Luo Feng.
"Don't worry too much. As long as the Empire fights head-on, our chances of winning will increase dramatically, and the Empire will fall into the abyss of decline."
Emilia pinched her chin and murmured: "Just weak?"
"The empire is too big," Yang Ming said with a smile. "With the Levi Fleet and the invincible Imperial Star mecha, no one dares to say that they can easily defeat the empire. Even the weakening process will take a certain amount of time. I may not be able to witness the moment of revenge with my own eyes."
Lu smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry. Your body won't age. Although your consciousness may collapse, with me helping you, living for hundreds of years won't be a problem."
"I mean up-dimensionality! Up-dimensionality!"
Boss Yang went crazy.
Lu suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet and pointed to his side.
Li's figure appeared again and looked at Yang Ming with a frown.
Li went straight to the point: "Can I go steal the technology I need now?"
"We have to wait a little longer," Yang Ming said seriously, "The empire's army is gathering now. You are not in a hurry for a day or two, right? If you are in a hurry, I can talk to Hua Moli first, but now I have to take care of the relationship here."
Li's twin ponytails swayed gently and she crossed her arms.
Lu, who was standing by, looked down at her chest, and then... the female features of her avatar swelled up a little like an inflatable ball, and then she put her hands behind her back and looked up at the sky, and the buttons of her shirt were almost broken.
A strange desire to win.
The girl glanced at Lu, then continued to look at Yang Ming:
“Any questions now?
"I can give you the information directly. The army they have assembled will not jump to Luofeng, but will fight a war of attrition with the New Federation. Later, they will occupy three to five planets on the border of the New Federation.
"Because of the existence of jump technology, the supply lines are not linear and coherent. This time, the Empire has to go to war with the New Federation to export domestic conflicts, and plunder the relatively wealthy border planets of the New Federation, cut off several trade routes of the New Federation, and force the New Federation to fight a war of attrition.
“After the war begins, the Empire will use the tight military budget as an excuse to openly seize the assets of all vassal states and suck their blood all at once.
"For this purpose, the Empire is ready to teach a lesson to the possible troublemaker of the dependent country - that is, your Luofeng Alliance. I have already sent the fleet number prepared by the Empire to Lu.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
Yang Ming shook his head.
"Let's go, then."
"Wait a minute!"
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds:
"Give me a few hours. First, I need to negotiate with the Guel Alliance. I will continue to travel here as a general of the Luofeng Empire and supervise the subsequent cooperation matters.
"Also, I need to deal with Allison and the New Federation's diplomats."
The girl said calmly: "Wouldn't it be better to just let them disappear from the face of the earth?"
"That won't do," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I have to respect the rules of the Faya people. I'm not Allison, who will kill other pioneers directly."
"Speaking of the Forerunners, the Empire is preparing to bring Forerunner No. 5 back to the Empire," the girl said softly, "To be exact, the Military Intelligence Bureau has already started taking action."
"That's okay, just let them be."
Yang Ming shrugged:
"I just want to control the time of the game through Forerunner No. 5. Forerunner No. 5 is destined to gain political status in the fifth largest power in the Milky Way, that is, the Yada Democratic State. As long as the Yada Democratic State does not suddenly ask her to take up an important official position, it will not affect me."
Li smiled and said, "Are you actively hinting at something to me?"
"You can think of it this way," Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes, "After all, the White Ghost is still in the recovery period. A small General Luo Feng cannot affect the Yada Democratic Republic."
Li thought for a moment, "You want the game to start later, right?"
"Well, let's leave it to fate."
Yang Ming stretched, stood up and walked towards the cabin door.
"What I want to do now is to complete my ideas and achieve my goals, because even if the game starts, there will be a few years, which is enough."
Li nodded, said a few words and disappeared.
"Don't always do these meaningless things. The essence of the problem is not whether the empire is weakened, but whether Levi can be resurrected."
"Okay, big sister!"
"snort."
Yang Ming made a gesture of invitation to Emilia, and Emilia followed with a smile.
Lu pointed out the window, turned off the projection, and began to immerse himself in the surging waves of the Milky Way.
…
On the way to the medical bay where Allison was.
Yang Ming put his hands behind his back, enjoying the salutes and stares from the passing soldiers, and walked side by side with Emilia.
Neither of them minded if bits of their conversation were overheard.
"Bounty Hunter, are you going to stay with the Alliance?"
"Yes," Yang Ming nodded, "You can leave a dozen ships for me later. I will make a tour here to improve the people's good impression of our Luofeng Alliance. This is also the basis for cooperation between the two sides."
"Well," Emilia sighed, "I wanted to stay here."
"Luo Feng needs you to take charge of the situation," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The Empire will definitely take some extreme measures, which will test your ability to respond."
Emilia whispered, "I am only the deputy minister of the alliance... At present, according to my ability, I can only be the deputy minister."
"It may not be nice to say this, but Emilia, I hope you can become a leader."
Yang Ming looked at the little girl in his memory and said with a smile:
"You only need to remember one thing, and that is why Adwant insisted on not getting married and not having children."
"I know," Emilia whispered, "I'm actually ready. I will dedicate my whole life to this cause . If I can make Luofeng completely independent and establish itself in the forest of human civilization in the Milky Way, this sacrifice will not count as a sacrifice."
"Oh, that's extreme."
Yang Ming said seriously:
“You are also a normal human woman, and your emotional life should be satisfied.
"If you like a handsome guy, you can pursue him.
"I will help you keep a strict watch, and... well, you can think of me as your parent."
Yang Ming coughed, his eyes drifting away:
“In fact, I also have a younger sister. I swear she was very cute before she was three years old, but after that she became very willful because of my spoiling.
"When she reached puberty, we were on different paths in life, so we communicated less. Sometimes she would look at me with annoyance, complaining that I didn't take a shower after playing ball, that I ate her snacks, that I stole her pocket money, and then she would go to my parents to complain about me."
Emilia blinked and whispered, "How old is she now?"
"She is five years younger than me... She is too willful and always thinks that she can surpass me because she has better grades. Later, she always goes against me. If I say one thing, she will say another. I don't know how I have offended her."
Yang Ming sighed softly:
“Forget about her, it’s still unknown whether she can appear in front of me.
"On the contrary, Emilia, I will protect you as your brother, and I will also interfere in your life to a certain extent. I can't say it's interference, I can only say it's supervision and supervision ."
"This," Emilia smiled happily, "I can be satisfied with it. I don't have to worry about bounty hunters. Besides, I haven't thought about these things yet. I still have a long life ahead of me, and now is my precious learning age."
"That's right, you are still young."
Yang Ming patted Emilia on the shoulder and encouraged:
"Come on! While striving for your ideals, you must also enjoy life."
Emilia was a little amused.
You don't have to encourage people if you don't want to, really.
The medical cabin where Allison was imprisoned was not far ahead, but Emilia slowed down her pace and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.
After Yang Ming said hello to the guards and asked them to leave, he raised his hand and pressed on the door handle. Emilia finally spoke:
"Your family will be safe."
"Um?"
Yang Ming turned his head and looked over.
Outside the semi-floor-length porthole, the starry sky is deep and the planets are beautiful. Emilia's profile is covered with a layer of soft light from the stars, and her gentle and beautiful eyes are emitting light.
That was her sincere wish just now.
"Thank you for your kind words," Yang Ming smiled, "I'll ask you to take care of my family in the future."
“I will try my best!”
Emilia bit her lip gently. "This is part of my dream! I promise you!"
Yang Ming smiled and waved his hand, pressed the door handle, and slipped into the medical cabin.
…
Allison opened his eyes and saw a transparent baffle less than two centimeters away from the tip of his nose.
This is... a single-person medical cabin?
The medical cabin where Yang Ming had stayed before was a cabin on the ship for medical assistance. The medical cabin where Allison was staying at the moment was a two-meter-long box.
Squeak——
The baffle of the medical cabin slowly rose, but Allison closed his eyes and relied on his hearing to determine his current environment.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the faint noise of machines running. There seemed to be a medical robot on one side, and then...
"Senator Allison, please get up and talk. I'm the only one here."
Yang Ming's voice came with a hint of laughter, and Allison frowned and sat up.
The side panel of the medical cabin opened automatically, and the cabin became a simple hospital bed. Allison's communication device and clothes were placed intact beside it.
Allison grabbed his access terminal and frowned even more after seeing the time on it.
"You're holding me hostage?
“I have to say that you, the Luofeng Alliance, are very thoughtful and courageous.
"Have you considered the possible cost of doing this? You are ramming the supply ship where the New Federation delegation is located. That is New Federation territory. You are directly attacking the New Federation!"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Okay, Senator, you can check online. Now that the incident has been resolved, no one will hold us accountable for our ramming behavior for the time being. Besides, we didn't hold you hostage. We were providing humanitarian assistance... that's what you New Federation likes to do the most."
The corners of Allison's mouth twitched slightly.
He did not dare to be careless. While opening the network access terminal, he also sent a message to his team to report that he was safe.
He did not have permission to access the network of the Luofeng ship, but this obviously did not pose a problem for Pioneer No. 2.
A few minutes later, Allison looked very unhappy.
He looked up at Yang Ming, his eyes full of confusion.
Yang Ming shrugged: "First of all, this was not planned by us."
——He and Lu did not plan all this, they just seized the opportunity and had the help of the girl.
Yang Ming continued:
“I can tell you some information that is not in the news.
"First of all, the ship collision incident was indeed to invite you back so that it would be easier to exchange me back later, and this way there would be no pressure on the Guel Alliance.
"The New Federation has hurt us Luofeng in the past. There are many national hatreds and family feuds here. If you want to retaliate, we will take it. That's about it.
"Then, the Imperial Envoy intervened forcefully. This was something I had thought of before, but I didn't expect them to be so overbearing that they actually wanted to let that bald, sexless angel control me directly. If I didn't have some technology and ruthlessness in my head, I would have become their puppet now.
“Also, the Empire’s sudden attack on your mission was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“When we go to settle accounts with the Empire, we only dare to let our soldiers fight hand-to-hand.
"We went to settle accounts with you, but we only dared to ram your ships and not open fire. However, the Empire suddenly destroyed your fleet in the territory of the Guel Alliance, and the Guel Alliance was also confused."
Allison cursed: "I won't be surprised by any brutal decision made by the tyrannical empire!"
"You from the New Federation are quite courageous," Yang Ming said with a smile, "You actually ambushed the Empire's envoy formation halfway as revenge and almost wiped them out. I admire you for this."
Allison frowned tightly.
Who made such a rash decision?
This kind of radical decision doesn't seem to fit the old guys' way of thinking, does it?
Most of the congressmen have a business mindset, so there is no need to fight to the death with the Empire...
"Now, I will hand you over to the Guel Alliance. In fact, the transport ship coming to pick you up has already connected with us."
Yang Ming pointed outside the door:
“Your two companions can wake up at any time, you can wake them up by your own hands, we haven’t done anything to you.
"Go back to your homeland. The Empire has assembled tens of thousands of ships and will bombard your homeland.
"Also, I need to give you a piece of advice."
Advice? Just a general from the Luofeng Alliance?
Allison, who was walking towards the medical cabin, frowned and looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't try to use force against Luo Feng, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
Allison paused, then lowered his head and began to operate the panel of the medical cabin, his movements somewhat urgent.
He must now return to the center of power in the New Federation as soon as possible.
