Chapter 890: Death is worth it
"What?"
"Are you going to attack the capital now?"
Lloyd stared at Li Yu in front of him.
"Yes, now that it has been decided, there is no need to be fussy. Anyway, there is no one in the current Xingyao civilization who can resist me." He said it very bluntly and simply.
"The problem is not the Starry Civilization..." Lloyd hesitated, "It's those outside civilizations."
"We are provoking them like this, they will definitely not give up."
Of course, what Lloyd was afraid of was not Shane, but those outside civilizations.
To be honest, if it was simply about reviving the Star Empire, those outside civilizations might not care too much.
As long as it does not cause any losses to them, it doesn't make much difference whether it is the Star Empire or the Star Civilization.
But now the Star Empire has contacted Li Yu and has arrogantly provoked them.
Even if it wasn't for the purpose of protecting the Xingyao civilization, they would definitely not let them go.
"It was just those guys. It was just a matter of one hand." Li Yu said in a relaxed tone, "It was mainly because I had something to do before and went on a long trip, so those guys took advantage of the situation and broke in."
"Otherwise, given my relationship with the Star Empire, I will definitely not sit idly by and watch them bully you."
Lloyd automatically ignored the rest of the conversation and shook his head, saying, "Those outside civilizations have already reached a certain level of research on the rule entanglement area. They will soon be able to pass through the rule entanglement area unimpeded."
“That is our irresistible force.”
"There is a way." The golden armor suddenly said, "The core of the link device has something called rule... coupling. If it is operated in reverse, it can cause a large-scale riot in the rule entanglement area, thus preventing outside civilizations from entering."
"Rule... coupling?" Li Yu looked suspicious and asked tentatively, "You are talking about the rule decoupling device, right?"
Even though the golden armor's cheeks were covered with wounds, he did not look embarrassed or ashamed. All he could hear was him saying, "I don't know much about these terms. They should be what you said."
"Damian is quite efficient, worthy of the title of genius." Li Yu muttered.
He had learned relevant information before when he was working full-time, but at that time the rule decoupling device was just a guess in Damian's mind.
He even used this conjecture to give Damian a very powerful understanding of the "Star Empire".
Unexpectedly, the original conjecture has now become a reality.
"If it's a rule decoupling device, it probably won't achieve the situation you described." Li Yu shook his head and said, "At most it will cause them some trouble, but it's unlikely to completely cut off their hope of entering."
"But it's also a good way to delay time."
"If you really want to do this, you'd better act as soon as possible." The golden armor continued: "Because in that battle, Alfred completely sublimated and merged with the universe, manipulating the regional information state, which gave me the opportunity to escape."
"It also caused energy fluctuations in the battle, which had some impact on the device. It should be repaired soon."
"Look, your ancestors have said that we should act as soon as possible." Li Yu looked at Lloyd and chuckled.
Lloyd: “…”
He was too lazy to talk, since what he said would have no effect anyway.
"Okay, let's get ready to take action." Li Yu said, looking at the top leaders of the empire.
"etc……"
The Golden Armor still found it a little unbelievable and asked with difficulty.
"Do you really want to help us revive the Star Empire?"
"I don't know how many times you have asked this question. Time will tell everything." Li Yu said helplessly.
Golden Armor had mixed emotions. He never expected that one day he would actually see Dragon Lord fighting for them.
This is really... fucked up.
…
In the capital of the Xingyao civilization, a large number of main battle fleets gathered here to guard the safety of the capital.
Due to what Shane did, some of the imperial citizens simply protested, but some others turned the protest into actual armed confrontation.
The most outrageous thing is that the former reformer is now the number one thug against Shane and is still extremely active.
Even many of those who once hunted down the reformers have now joined them.
Many people who know the inside story feel that the current interstellar society is really outrageous.
It can be clearly seen through the portholes that the soldiers in the warship do not look very excited, and their faces are filled with fatigue and numbness.
The empire that once made them proud has now become a lackey of others. Now they are even more worried about their former comrades attacking the capital. This situation makes them feel confused and hesitant.
"It is said that the Croatian galaxy has declared independence, and the Tenth Radiant Fleet has gone there to suppress it by force..."
"Are you going to attack your own people again?"
Some patrolling soldiers were talking in low voices, their eyes having lost their former luster.
"Or, let's join the reformers. I can't stand this damn Shane for even one more day!" a soldier couldn't help but say.
"How dare you say such things? Do you want to live?" Someone nearby hurriedly grabbed him, looked around carefully, and scolded in a low voice.
"Alas... I heard that His Highness Lloyd has taken over the throne of the Emperor, and together with Lord Long Zun, he is preparing to revive the Star Empire. We still have hope..."
"It's just... I don't know how long I have to wait."
They looked at each other, took a deep breath, and the sadness in their hearts slowly dissipated.
This is the voice of many soldiers and the thought of many citizens of the Xingyao civilization.
One day, the Star Empire may appear again in the interstellar space.
But they probably won't be able to see it.
At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the defense system.
"The star gate channel has been opened illegally. There is no scheduled log. Closing failed. All soldiers please return to your positions quickly."
Due to the special circumstances in recent days, the star gate outside the galaxy of the Star Civilization's capital has been closed and no one is allowed to pass through.
But today it was forced open, and a black conical bow stretched out from the blue vortex of the stargate, followed by a pitch-black armored hull.
A massive flagship sailed out of the star gate, followed by teams of fighters in an orderly manner.
"Who is this?"
The commander-in-chief of the defense system looked at the screen and saw that the star gate was completely out of control and no one knew who opened it.
It is impossible to close it unless the star gate is destroyed directly.
But he did not receive any relevant orders.
The porthole of the main ship flashed and turned into two-way transparent glass, and two figures emerged.
The projection screen zoomed in quickly. After seeing clearly, the commander's pupils suddenly contracted and he said in a lost voice: "Dragon Lord... Lloyd... Why are they here?"
"Long Zun, it's His Excellency Long Zun!"
"It's really Lord Longzun!"
"And His Majesty Lloyd..."
Many soldiers also noticed the two of them and became very excited.
" Everyone , I am Long Zun, and this is the new emperor of the empire - Lloyd." Li Yu's voice sounded in the channel.
"I believe you are familiar with us."
"Hello... May I ask why you are here?"
There was a response from the channel, and just by listening to the voice one could imagine the other party's extremely frightened and uneasy expression.
"My purpose is simple. I want to unlock the defense mechanism and let us in. I don't want to hurt you, and you are probably not Shane's die-hard supporters."
Li Yu got straight to the point.
"This... Lord Longzun, letting you go directly... this is really..." The other party acted very embarrassed.
"I don't want to say it again. If you have one minute to think and unlock your defenses, you can avoid a lot of casualties."
"Otherwise, a large number of soldiers will die here."
Li Yu's voice was cold, and he didn't mind if his words were heard by the lower-level soldiers.
In the command room, many senior officials turned their eyes to the commander-in-chief, their expressions were complicated and their emotions were surging.
The commander-in-chief's expression changed, and then he suddenly looked at his adjutant and gritted his teeth and said, "Remove my command!"
"What did you say!?" His adjutant was still a little confused.
A high-ranking official who was quick to react stood up and said in a cold voice: "Commander Omari, I now believe that you are no longer suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the defense system. You are dismissed now."
"In addition, according to the [Temporary Command Regulations], the top leaders voted to dismantle the highest defense system."
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
“…”
Many senior executives spoke up immediately. This seemed like some kind of emergency mechanism. When more than half of the votes were in favor, the voice of the intelligent system sounded:
"Vote to remove Commander Omari's authority and dismantle the highest defense system!"
Buzz!
The next moment, the energy shield blocking Li Yu quickly cracked open, and the road through the Xingyao capital became unobstructed.
"Tsk, face scanning is quite useful." Li Yu smiled when he saw this scene.
Lloyd next to him also forced himself to smile , but it was uglier than crying.
Without any obstruction, Li Yu marched straight in. The soldiers on the warships on both sides watched them enter the capital, hoping that they could bring exciting news.
…
In the palace, Shane ran into a room in a hurry and shouted, "Sir Alessandro, they broke in!"
However, although his voice was loud, there was no response at all. The room was empty, and only his echo gradually disappeared.
"Alessandro!?" Shane shouted in disbelief, but still no response.
"Run away!?" He was stunned at first, then he gnashed his teeth, his face became ferocious and distorted: "Abandoned me again, abandoned me again!"
The low roar sounded like a wounded wild beast in the forest, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
In an ordinary building in the capital galaxy, the smile on Alessandro's old face had disappeared. He frowned and whispered:
"How could this happen? Is he crazy? Is he really planning to revive the Star Empire?"
Li Yu's actions completely caught him off guard.
The defense system of the Star Empire is a thick shield to the outside and a solid cage to the inside.
It was also difficult for him to leave the capital galaxy without making a sound, so he could only hide here temporarily and wait for the right time to leave.
…
When Li Yu and Lloyd walked into the Imperial Palace, they only saw Shane sitting on the throne.
His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was gloomy. When he saw the two people coming, he just raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Here they come."
"Shane..." Lloyd's tone was complicated. He didn't have any feelings for the other party, and he was a strong competitor before.
However, he felt somewhat emotional about the situation today.
"My dear brother, Emperor... come... sit in your seat." Xia En slowly stood up, staggered, and even dusted off the non-existent dust on the seat, and said: "Or, you should sit, Lord Longzun?"
He looked at Li Yu and sneered, "How is it? How does it feel to play with the emperor?"
"How does it feel to be a toy in your hands now, a ruler who was once high and mighty in your eyes?"
"Lloyd is my close partner, don't talk nonsense." Li Yu said indifferently.
"A close partner, do you believe it yourself?" Shane's eyes widened and he roared, "Why is it always you?!"
"It was you on Tianhuang Star, it was you in the parliament, and now it's you again. Why!?"
“Hahaha…” He laughed again, bent over with laughter, tears streaming down his face: “I will wait for you, you won’t survive, you won’t survive!”
"No reason, I've already let you go once." Li Yu looked at Xia En, whose expression had been distorted.
He raised his hand and clenched it gently. Shane's eyes bulged, and then his whole body condensed into a dot and completely disappeared into the universe.
"Oh..." Lloyd shook his head and said nothing.
Even if Li Yu didn't kill him, he would kill Xia En.
Although his inner emotions were complicated, his murderous intent did not diminish in the slightest.
"Alessandro is not here, but he should not have left." Li Yu sensed a little and did not find any trace of Alessandro.
"I'll leave this to you. I'll go find him."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he disappeared here.
Lloyd looked around the empty hall, and finally set his sights on the throne. His complex expression gradually changed.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked up step by step.
When he sat on the throne, he somehow let out a long sigh, and a large number of bright stars seemed to be reflected in his pupils.
Even though the Star Empire is no longer what it used to be, even though the outside civilization is extremely powerful, even though the Dragon Lord sits on his head.
He now has a feeling in his heart that is difficult for him to understand——
Sitting on it, even if I die, it's worth it.
