Chapter 227: The Destruction of the Empire
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Wenyuan was indeed scanning the mother galaxy of the Conqueror Empire in detail.
It was not only the two pseudo-colony planets that were filled with the nobles of the Imperium, but all the planets in the entire galaxy were actually within his scanning range.
For an artificial intelligence like the active purification agreement, whether the planet was habitable or not wasn’t that important. A complete scan was necessary.
However, the two pseudo-colony planets where the nobles of the empire lived still received his attention. After all, they had a lot of biological lifeforms and a lot of electronic equipment. They were a good place for infection.
As a result, many of his research spaceships frequently appeared in the Conqueror Empire, causing panic.
Unlike Li Wenyuan’s cautious scanning attitude, the Emperor of the Conqueror Empire had been in a good mood recently.
Ever since he swaggered around with the fleets that no longer existed, he felt that the glory of the Emperor had become even more dazzling.
After ail, his dear ministers had done everything they could to deceive him. They could fabricate all kinds of data and composite images without even frowning.
At this moment, the Emperor, who was taking a stroll in the courtyard, was happily listening to another round of good news brought to him by his ministers.
“Your Majesty, the Foreign Minister has already seized most of the right to speak in the Galaxy Community. Not only has he abolished the privileges of the two annoying alliances, but he has also passed the motion of establishing the Galaxy Imperium.”
“Soon, you will have another glory on your crown – the Emperor of the Milky Way.”
“It’s the Emperor of the Galaxy Imperium,” the Emperor corrected. “1 am the Emperor of the Milky Way. Now, 1 am just gathering the scattered people again. This is the great cause of ten generations. In the future, I will complete the great cause of unifying the universe for thousands of generations.”
“Your Majesty is wise and divine. It is truly a blessing for the universe…” The minister continued to flatter him. The moment he opened his mouth, he was an old jester. To be able to become a close minister of this Emperor who cared about his face, at least he was very good at talking.
The flattery of the ministers made the Emperor even happier. Even the sky, which was always unpleasant to the eye, seemed to have become somewhat pleasing to the eye at this moment.
However, before he could be happy for long, the Emperor suddenly noticed a blind spot and asked in puzzlement, “But didn’t you tell me the day before yesterday that the Galaxy Imperium had been established and that I was waiting for an auspicious day to ascend to the throne? Why is it only today that the approval of the establishment of the Galaxy Imperium?”
“Are you trying to fool me?”
The Emperor’s expression began to become dangerous, and his gaze toward the ministers was filled with coldness.
As long as he saw the slightest hint of lying, then his minister would be replaced.
The minister’s heart skipped a beat when he was caught. He regretted that he had been busy transferring his assets recently and had been in a bad mood. He had actually made a mistake in his most important job.
One had to know that there were countless nobles of the empire who were also planning to escape with him tied to his waist. He was the sharp-witted one and was sent to be the Emperor’s jester.
Countless people tried their best to make up stories for the Emperor within their respective powers, and it was his job to deceive the Emperor with these stories during this period of change.
He knew very well that if anything happened to him, the entire empire would be engulfed in a storm of blood. All the traitors of the empire would be purged, and he would not be spared.
However, the minister who had a strong psychological quality did not change his expression, as if he could not see that the Emperor was on the verge of exploding. He said solemnly,
“How dare 1 lie to Your Majesty? The Galaxy Imperium was indeed established the day before yesterday with the full support of all the civilizations. The topic of establishing the Galaxy Imperium was just the last bit of legal basis for the orthodoxy of the Imperium.”
“The Foreign Affairs Minister is lucky enough to not be humiliated. He used sharp words and the glory of Your Majesty to defeat the debate of the unruly people, once again demonstrating the might of Your Majesty!”
Hearing the reply, the Emperor’s expression softened. Seeing that the minister was completely thinking of him, he believed it and continued to ask with some interest,
“It felt like it had been a long time since he had heard the battle report with that so-called alliance. How is the situation recently? Have the unruly people submitted?”
Just as the minister was about to open his mouth, the Emperor waved his hand and interrupted his report. He said with some emotion,
“Forget it, let the General of the Imperial Guards, the General of the Barbarian Suppression, and the General of the Rebellion come here. 1 will personally listen to their reports. 1 haven’t seen them for a long time. Back then, their general badges were awarded to them by me…”
This sudden request stunned the minister, and he cried out in his heart.
The Emperor could also see the momentary hesitation of the minister and asked unhappily, “What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t tell others?”
“No…” The minister immediately bowed his head and took his leave. Then, in the name of conveying the edict, he discussed this matter with the nobles behind him in a secret corner.
The generals who were personally named by the Emperor were all shrewd people. There would not be any problems facing the Emperor at this time, exposing the true situation of the civilization.
However, the biggest problem lay with these generals, because the General of the Imperial Guards among them had been turned into cosmic trash along with the guardian fleet of the parent galaxy not long ago.
Logically speaking, he would not be present at such a fireworks display, but in order to leave a deep impression on the Emperor, he personally boarded one of the battleships as the commander of the guardian fleet.
The result was obvious.
“It seems that the concealment ends here. However, things have been transferred. Your mission has been completed very well. Let us handle the rest. What a sad Emperor. Until now, he still doesn’t know that he’s actually the last Emperor.”
A dignitary informed them of their decision, which also made the minister heave a sigh of relief. Then, he left the courtyard without caring about the Emperor who was still waiting for his reply.
The Emperor, who had not been able to receive any news, instinctively sensed that something was wrong. However, he, who had been muddled by the good news for the past two days, was still patiently waiting for the results.
However, in his heart, he had already sentenced the minister to death.
Not long after, three figures rushed into the courtyard. They were the ones who had been driven by the generals to take over their positions. They were now doing their last report with the Emperor.
The Emperor once again felt that something was wrong. However, when he saw the general badges that he personally awarded, he tried his best to calm down and discuss military affairs with these generals.
And these people who didn’t know about it were very happy and seriously sang the same tune as the Emperor when they were appointed. They were actually able to speak well about military affairs.
Until the Emperor asked, “The Taran Galaxy is an important gateway, but as long as the guardian fleet attacks, everything would be fine.”
These people who didn’t know the truth looked at each other when they heard this. One of them hesitated for a long time before saying in a low voice,
“My Emperor, the guardian fleet… The guardian fleet has already been destroyed. They can’t launch an attack….”
