    Another problem is that this big guy consumes too much energy. The first-level main battle cannon and propulsion system use a special highly concentrated energy crystal, which must be produced by specialized refining and processing equipment, and  The purity requirements for the raw crystal ore are extremely high, and even a difference of one ten thousandth of a percentage point is not enough.  Out of long-term thinking, the Miriams only delivered a batch of energy crystals when delivering the doomsday fortress, and then refused to supply any more. They only sold several sets of large-scale smelting and processing equipment to the Imperial Party at sky-high prices.  , which means to let the empire figure out its own methods to obtain energy.  To this end, the logistics department of the Strategic Command had to urgently conduct an inventory of all energy crystal mineral deposits across the country. After several difficulties, they finally screened out a batch of mineral veins that met the requirements, and then immediately organized a commando team to mine them manually.  It's a pity that this thing is too difficult to process, and the scrap rate is extremely high. According to experts' estimates, the current one-day output is not enough to cover the loss of one firing of the main battle cannon of the Doomsday Fortress. When the energy reserve is used up, this big thing will also  It becomes a toothless tiger with no big use.  Moreover, in order to ensure control of the Doomsday Fortress, the Miriams only gave Ulionov V the second-level control authority, which meant that many important functional modules of the fortress were not open to him.  The functionality is less than 50%.  In other words, the real power that this thing can exert is currently only stronger than the Kilizako asteroid, but it is far from its true limit.  Therefore, Ulionov V decided to make a temporary truce and have a private chat with the Daomang Empire.  At this time, the alliance, whose destruction is imminent, is also thinking hard about its own future.  The Tongyun universe area is the temporary residence of the alliance army.  "His Majesty the Pope, have you really decided to do this?" In the "Qianhui" interstellar fortress, Tabesha asked embarrassedly and uneasily: "The army of the Dao Mang Empire has already assembled on the border, but with them  With my strength, I may not be able to stop that fatal big thing. If I take refuge there now, I can only say that I can live a few more days."  Innocent VIII smiled bitterly and said: "If not, what can we do? Apart from this empire, do we have a second choice?"  "In the end, the fierce fighting power of the Daomang Empire is far better than us. It can even fight against the Yanwei race. Maybe they really have the means. Maybe Ulionov V estimates that he will become the master of the entire human world, and he may not be able to do so.  It¡¯s that easy.¡±  "However, it still depends on whether His Majesty Ye Qingyuan is willing to accept us. And even if it passes, our statusmaybe it won't be too high," Tabeisha sighed.  "Dear Archon, the matter has come to this, and we don't have much bargaining capital at hand." The Pope slowly shook his head and said, "The only thing we can do at the moment is to find a way out for the people around us.  We need to find a place to settle down. Otherwise, facing the wolf-like and tiger-like army of the Genaslok Empire, how can we care about anything else if our survival is in question?¡±  Tabesa gritted her teeth and said that if she had known earlier that the situation would develop to this point, she might as well have directly sought to merge into the Dao Mang Empire. At that time, the high-level leaders of the two countries would have naturally gained more benefits.  many.  But now, with their country subjugated, it is no longer possible for them to gain any stable status in the Daomang Empire. The best and most secure result is to temporarily relinquish all power from now on and be content with being idle and powerful.  At that moment, the two former top leaders discussed for several hours and decided to jointly send a special envoy to the border of the Daomang Empire to meet with the top commander of the local garrison, requesting that the other side allow the remaining legions of the alliance to enter the empire for refuge and be willing to discuss surrender matters with the empire's senior officials.  .  "Tianchu" Fortress.  Ye Qingyuan sat at the top and listened quietly to the statement of Alliance Special Envoy Slosen before he slowly asked: "I can understand your request to be incorporated into the empire. However, why should the empire risk irritation?"  "Dear Your Majesty, the Genaslok Empire's ambition is known to the world. After the fall of the alliance, it will definitely attack the Daomang Empire. I believe you are not aware of it."  "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold," Slosen said respectfully but resolutely.  "Although the Alliance has less than 500 universes left, it still has millions of elite fleets. As long as Your Majesty is willing to agree to our conditions, the command of these legions can be handed over to the Empire. I hope Your Majesty can send troops as soon as possible to contain the enemy.  The Nasrok Empire's offensive." Tian Xuanhao on the side said disapprovingly: "Millions of fine people.??Fleet?  It seems that the empire currently has no shortage of this kind of troops, so if we are asked to help you to block such a huge unnecessary trouble, such small benefits will not be enough." Ye Qingyuan coughed lightly and said displeasedly: "Tian Qing" "  Your Majesty, I made a mistake." Tian Xuanhao quickly bowed and apologized. The emperor glared at him, then smiled and said to Slosen: "General Tian is a military man, and his words are inevitably a bit excessive. I hope the special envoy doesn't mind.  However, the issue of sending troops is too important and there is not enough reason. It is difficult for me to convince everyone in the court. And as you know, the war in the empire in the southwest star sea has not yet ended. The two fronts are fighting, and the pressure on the empire is too great.  " Slossen watched helplessly the "double act" performed by the monarch and his ministers, knowing that if there was no heavy bleeding, His Majesty the Emperor would never let go. "Originally I understood that the so-called friendship and peace in the exchanges between countries  , benevolence, righteousness, morality and the like, they are all just high-sounding slogans, forget it. Only interests are the eternal theme. No matter whether the two empires will eventually go to war, but it is estimated that to give the alliance's top leaders a way out, they must turn to help at this moment.  The emperor cannot. "Your Majesty's Foreign Minister has brought a joint letter from His Majesty the Pope and the Supreme Consul. I believe there will be a satisfactory explanation for the doubts between the imperial government and the opposition," Slossen said with a slightly helpless expression.  The palace guard came over and took the letter in his hand. After checking it carefully, he opened it and browsed it quickly. He did not immediately express his opinion, but fell into deep thought about the alliance's reaction.  , in fact, it has long been expected by the emperor and ministers that there will soon be only two political powers left in the human world today. Apart from the Daomang Empire, the alliance has no other choice. However, as for the empire, it must accept this.  The batches of "old and young" from the alliance actually do not have much benefit. On the contrary, they may become a cause of instability and bring some unnecessary troubles to the imperial authorities. In the end, it is just a religious power.  In the last democratic regime, their domestic elites would not agree with everything about the empire. Therefore, some radical generals suggested that they should ignore the life and death of these guys and simply let the Gnaslok Empire destroy them.  The empire would send troops to start a war with Ulionov V to avoid possible hidden dangers in the future that would affect the political stability of the empire. Pope Innocent VIII had already foreseen this possibility, and it was precisely because of this that his attitude in the letter was extremely extreme.  Humbly, he expressed his willingness to hand over all the wealth in the treasury of the two major countries to the empire in exchange for the status of a legal citizen of the empire. Attached to the letter was a long list of supplies, both in terms of quality and quantity, which is really surprising, but there are.  For the current emperor, he is nothing at all. He has seen many treasures of the ghost race, and he really doesn't like these. Even if it is an inestimable wealth to others, of course, no matter whether he answers or not.  Agreed, there will be a showdown between the Gnaslok Empire and the Daomang Empire sooner or later. Now that the battle for unification has reached this point, there is no reason for both sides to reveal it for the time being. "Although your suggestion will not be of much help to the empire.  However, the Gnaslok Empire colluded with foreign races and attempted to hand over the fate of the entire human race to the control of foreign races. Such behavior will never be accepted by the empire." After pondering for a long time, Ye Qingyuan finally said: "Your side  In the past few years, I have been committed to resisting the invasion of foreign races. I have never thought of compromising and surrendering. Perhaps this makes me admire you very much. Therefore, regarding your suggestions, I have decided to think about it again. Next time, I will let your Pope  Come and talk to me in detail, Lord Slosson, you can go back now."  After sending away the special envoy, the smile on Ye Qingyuan's face disappeared.  "My lords, do you think we are going to war against the Genaslok Empire? What can we do to maximize our interests?" He asked in a deep voice. Luo Qingyue said cautiously: "I think it is still  We should follow the previous plan and let the Alliance and them spend a while longer, and then we can only send troops after all five hundred cosmic areas have fallen."  As she said that, she sent several documents to Ye Qingyuan and explained: "This is the important information that the people I'm waiting for took great risks to send back from there, including information about the doomsday fortress.  Some key messages."  He was slightly frightened, and quickly took it and read through it, his expression gradually changed.  "You all should take a look." He asked the female officer to forward the document to Tian Xuanhao, and then more than a dozen high-ranking generals looked at it one by one.  The content of the document is quite consistent with the advance analysis of the Wise Men. There are really some problems with their fleet.The situation is not as expected in advance. If the Dao Mang Empire sends troops again after half a month, even if the doomsday fortress is defeated, the empire's losses can be reduced to an acceptable level.  "I finally know why Ulionov V didn't expect to send someone a message before, vaguely indicating that he wanted to talk." Ye Qingyuan smiled, and Tian Xuanhao said: "Your Majesty, even if you negotiate,  It's feasible, but before that, we have to fight with them first, and then both sides can sit down and talk with peace of mind." After a moment's thought, the generals all understood what he meant.  From the standpoint of the human species, I believe that the human world really should not continue to suffer from internal strife, at least until those alien civilizations are sorted out, there should be no more large-scale internal strife.  Therefore, based on this belief, Ulionov V had the intention to secretly join forces with the Daomang Empire to plot against other races. However, the Gnaslok Empire was ultimately the fiercest fighting force, at least they themselves were.  Thinking so, it is completely foreseeable to make excessive demands during negotiations.  In order to prevent this situation from occurring, the Daomang Empire must use corresponding methods to prove that its fierce combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the other side, and that it is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with them. Only then can the negotiations be guaranteed to proceed smoothly, and until the subsequent conclusion of the  the impartiality of the secret treaty.  Only those who can fight can make peace. This is a truth proven by countless examples over thousands of years.  Due to His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s deliberate delay in the negotiations between the alliance¡¯s top leaders and the empire, the results did not come out until more than a week later. By this time, the army of the Gnaslok Empire had already approached the border of the Daomang Empire.  On August 27, the Alliance¡¯s remaining five million fleets, more than three hundred supernatural legions, and tens of millions of upper-class elites all evacuated to the empire.  Ye Qingyuan finally relaxed, mainly because he thought that most of these elites were worth a lot of money. After they became imperial citizens, they would inevitably invest their huge assets, which would objectively benefit the economic development of the empire.  The vast majority of the wealth in the Union's treasury has gone to the empire, and it's hard to break one's promise to enrich oneself after reaping enough benefits.  After a tense reorganization and acceptance process, two days later, a guard fleet of the Daomang Empire encountered a patrol fleet of the Gnaslok Empire while carrying out a patrol mission on the border. When the two sides disagreed, they fought.  After a brief but fierce exchange of fire, more than three hundred warships of various types on the other side were destroyed, and the Daomang Empire lost seven and a half hundred warships of various types_Pao&shu&news  As the situation spread, a general from the Gnaslok Empire was unconvinced and immediately sent two additional fleets to chase after him, hoping to regain the ground.  As a result, the Daomang Empire was not to be outdone, and three imperial fleets attacked. The two sides fought fiercely and increased their troops several times, with almost mutual success or failure.  Then things got worse and worse, and finally alerted the senior officials of the Imperial Regiment. Tian Xuanhao personally commanded the main guard army to attack. With his extremely powerful and precise strike tactics, in just a few hours, he almost crippled the two legions on the other side.  , and two legions suffered excessive losses and had to withdraw from the fierce battle.  As a result, the two sides really broke up with each other and began to mobilize their troops and generals, gathering their strength to prepare for a big war.  "I heard that the guy opposite is called Tian Xuanhao?" In the "Ice Rock" interstellar fortress, Admiral Yegor, the commander of the Eastern Attack Group of the Empire, drank a lot of strong wine while asking the adjutant beside him, "Yes.  "General," the adjutant responded after saluting, "That general is young and promising. He is the number one general under Ye Qingyuan. He currently holds the important position of Minister of Daomang Imperial Affairs." "Young and promising?" The general said coldly.  He snorted and said disdainfully: "He's just a young man with no hair. Do you really think he's capable? Look at why I taught him to fight well today."  "General, as the saying goes, 'There is no good person under a great reputation.' Since the other party can have today's reputation and status, I guess it must have some real ability. It's better for us to be cautious," the adjutant persuaded tactfully.
