The year 2085 is a turbulent year for the entire human world. When the Hoffman Empire, a unique behemoth in the human world, was driven by Prince Robin to uncharacteristically show its fangs to the weaker ones around it, all human nations in the galaxy began to be enveloped in despair and panic.
Just as Duke Gregg deliberately spread the news in order to promote the Perseus Spiral Arm countries to move to the extragalactic system, in early September, as soon as the domestic military reform was completed, Robin led the new army to start a new round of expedition. The main goal of this expedition is to unify the galaxy.
As the news of Robin's expedition gradually spread throughout the universe, human countries pursuing various political systems began to take action for their respective sovereignty. Among them, some countries with strong national power have jointly signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement. However, some countries that had no intention of fighting against the empire began to imitate Duke Gregg, driven by domestic careerists, and secretly moved part of the country's national power to extragalactic systems that the empire could not take care of for the time being, in an attempt to retain national sovereignty and themselves. Control of rights.
Among the dozens of human nations with varying national powers in the galaxy, only a handful of small nations responded to the empire¡¯s call for unification and were willing to give up their national sovereignty and accept the empire¡¯s administrative planning. Among them, except for the Nine-Star Republic and the New Federation, which were the first to be merged into the empire, most of the countries themselves are small countries directly controlled by the imperial nobles themselves, including the home country of Marquis Deimos, the blue country 'Bru'. Ness'.
Now, Robin's decision to unify the galaxy has made the Empire the enemy of the entire galaxy. Under the wanton exaggeration of leaders of various countries, Robin was portrayed as a tyrant who did all evil. It can be said that from this moment on, except for some academic nobles and clones in the empire, the whole world is against Robin.
But regarding this current situation. Robin had expected it. Before deciding to unify the galaxy, Robin anticipated that he would become infamous. However, if you want to gather the power of the entire human world to fight against the Insat people who are about to start a large-scale invasion, you will definitely have to grit your teeth and go through this chaotic period of pain, and these have always been leisurely and contented under the wings of the empire. The human kingdom must also leave the protection of the empire in order to truly transform. ¡
Proxima Star Territory, Free Channel.
The mighty Imperial fleet passed through the e-18 white hole, led by the flagship "King's Landing". Heading towards the Kingdom of Raymond, the only remaining sovereign state in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.
Three years ago, Ansel Osvid¡¯s ambition single-handedly contributed to the split of the Federation and the creation of a constitutional monarchy like the Kingdom of Raymond. but. Due to the internal struggles that broke out due to ambition after the founding of the country and the appearance of Robin, the Kingdom of Raymond lost the two most important entrances and exits to the Proxima Sector and the North and South Passages after the founding of the country, and was forced to huddle in the Alpha system to survive. . During these three years, the 18-year-old Queen Audrey Rex desperately developed her military power, trying to militarily suppress the New Federation under the leadership of Martina Byron and regain Proxima Centauri. areas and the north-south waterways.
Relying on the well-preserved national strength of the Raymond Kingdom during the coup and the outstanding military capabilities of the kingdom's leader Duke Arthur, the Raymond Kingdom was almost able to force Martina Byron, the new federal president, into desperation. but. At a critical moment, Robin once again helped save the New Federation and Martina.
A year and a half ago, as the president of the Federation, Martina first went to the old capital of the empire in person to reach a cooperation agreement with Robin and the Nine-Star Republic again. This caused the Nine-Star Republic to dispatch its fleet directly. The Kingdom's fleet, which forced Duke Arthur to withdraw from the North-South Passage, returned without success. After that, Martina took advantage of the overwhelmed mentality of the citizens of the New Federation due to being ravaged by the war. With almost no opposition, she announced that she would give up her sovereignty and merge with the powerful Hoffmann Empire.
This act caused the Proxima Star Territory to directly become the territory of the Hoffman Empire, making the Raymond Kingdom bordering the territory of the Hoffman Empire and inevitably encountering serious threats from the Hoffman Empire.
Regarding this point, Queen Audrey Rex of the Kingdom already had a clear understanding after learning that the New Federation gave up its sovereignty and joined the Empire. To this. She also discussed countermeasures more than once with Robert Rockefeller and Simon Dupont, who were important ministers of the kingdom and one of the only ten remaining wealthy families. However, faced with such a disparity in power. Wanting to continue to maintain national sovereignty has undoubtedly become an unattainable luxury.
Therefore, when the fleet of the empire now truly enters the kingdom's sight as an invader. No one was surprised, including Audrey Rex. In addition to helplessly forcing themselves to accept the reality, these kingdom careerists trapped in the Alpha system have nowhere to escape.??
At this moment, in the Queen's Palace 'Eagle Palace' on Alpha Planet, Queen Audrey Rex and Dukes Robert Rockefeller, Simon Dupont and Duke Arthur were sitting in the empty hall to discuss. Countermeasures. Outside the 'Eagle Palace', noisy crowds and parades gathered in the huge square outside the 'Eagle Palace'. Various slogans came and went. Fighting against Europe and riots were inevitably occurring in every location in the kingdom.
"Is there any hope of breaking through?"
Looking at the real-time pictures of riots happening everywhere on the three-dimensional screen with dim eyes, the young Audrey Rex looked haggard and looked at Duke with a look that only contained the last hope. Arthur, the most powerful military commander in the kingdom.
"Impossible" Duke Arthur smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The empire's fleet is sixteen times ours in number. They have currently occupied the Proxima Star field and completely controlled the south leading to the e-18 black hole. Channel. With our current strength, it is impossible to break through the blockade of the imperial fleet, and now our army has no intention of fighting. I am afraid that we will mutiny as soon as we leave the Alpha system army"
"" Duke Arthur's answer extinguished Audrey Rex's last hope. She lowered her head bitterly and muttered to herself: "Then the only way out is to surrender?"
"I'm afraid that's the case."
Robert Rockefeller put down the electronic book he was reading, raised his head and said: "At present, we have no other way out but surrender. This is the only way to preserve ourselves."
"Preserve yourselves?" Audrey Rex heard this and suddenly roared like an angry lioness: "I'm afraid all you are thinking about is how to preserve yourselves! ~ Just like you, Robert. Your Rockefeller family has been running the business for generations. Fuel project, this allows you to continue to operate your industry under the New Deal implemented by the empire even if you enter the empire. The only thing you lose is your noble title. And you Simon. I know you are not only a A politician, and also a good biologist, this gives you the opportunity to pass the imperial examination and rely on the academic achievements of yourself and the family laboratory to become an imperial scholar with the opportunity to be promoted to a noble. As for you, Duke Arthur .You are a powerful knight, and I believe you can definitely find a place in the empire and become a true noble. Now, when this country is about to be destroyed, the only thing that will be lost is me and the interests of our Rex family!~"
Facing Audrey Rex¡¯s angry roar, an unnatural look suddenly flashed across the faces of Robert and others. As Audrey said, after giving up the sovereignty of the kingdom and choosing to surrender to the empire, almost everyone here did not have to worry about their future. It is true that after joining the huge country of the empire, they will lose their status as people in power and stay away from the center of power. But from another perspective, they can still find their own place in the empire's hierarchy, and they can still live a good life in the second half of their lives. But Audrey was the only one who really suffered a fatal blow.
When she loses her crown as queen and her legal identity, this girl who has just turned eighteen will have absolutely nothing. Everything that belongs to her will be taken away by the empire. Audrey Rex, who is just an ordinary girl with nothing but beauty, cannot survive in the empire at all. Regarding this point, everyone here has consciously ignored it. In other words, at the last moment of life and death, no one cares about this aloof young queen anymore, and no one is willing to pay attention to where her future will go.
"Your Majesty, when everything is irreversible, the only choice is to accept the fact that it cannot be changed. Therefore, we can only feel very sorry for this." Simon Dupont, who had been silent, suddenly said in an extremely cold voice The tone said this.
"Is this your explanation?" The despair in her heart made it impossible for Audrey to conceal her inner bitterness. She covered her face in pain and screamed: "You despicable villains, if it weren't for you careerists, my father would How could he die? He gave me his life in exchange for this crown, but now, you have changed hands and thrown it away like garbage. From the beginning to the end, you have only regarded me as a tool, and now this tool has lost its use value. , so you are ready to abandon me, right?"
"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your wording!~" Facing Audrey's harsh accusation, Robert also became a little angry: "It's not that we have deprived you of everything, it is the invasion of the empire that has caused you to lose everything. This It is not our responsibility. Moreover, you were the most successful player in the power game a few years ago, so it seems a little inappropriate for you to put everything on our heads now."
"you¡¡"
Robert Rockefeller¡¯s retort made Audrey furious, but at this moment, aThe soldiers suddenly broke into the hall and reported in a panicked voice: "Your Majesty, a formal announcement has been sent from the empire. They they ask you to declare your surrender immediately"
