Chapter 305 Death of the Great Elder(1/4)
Chapter 305 The Death of the Great Elder [Super Big Cup Extra Update!]
Royal Palace, in front of the palace gate.
"Great Elder, the special operations team has stopped the White Ghost. The twelve of them are the strongest ones we have carefully selected. The White Ghost should be seriously injured and will definitely be able to solve this problem."
"Well, go back and kneel," the great elder said solemnly.
The old man who came to report immediately nodded, retreated dozens of meters away, and knelt down in his original position.
Ahead, Palace Gate No. 6 is still closed. Thousands of palace guards stand in twelve rows, and the laser guns in their hands are all in the safe state.
In front of these kneeling elders, a group of super-modifiers stood quietly. Most of the super-modifiers had activated their stress-type defense shields.
Although there are many palace guards and they are elite, they are still just ordinary people.
If a war really breaks out, it will be a massacre of the few against the many.
Of course, there are still one-third of the super-modifiers standing beside the "Kneeling Clan Team". They are all waiting for orders from the super-modifiers organization, and most of them have doubts in their eyes.
They will not carry out the orders of the Council of Elders unconditionally.
The reason why they were transferred here was actually because the Great Elder was making it clear that he had no intention of forcing the emperor to marry him by force.
This was not a statement to the emperor, but to the group of old people behind him.
The powerful defense fleet outside the Emperor Star has completed its assembly.
The emperor held military power.
Even if they gain a temporary advantage in local combat power, there is no possibility of forcing them to surrender by force.
Political matters should be resolved by political means.
Three minutes are almost up again.
The Elder Council continued to shout with a hoarse voice: "All members of the Council of Elders in the Emperor Star, please convict your Majesty!"
This group of normally pampered old nobles shouted together: "Please convict your Majesty!"
In the array on the side, Catherine crossed her arms, and a sneer flashed across the corner of her mouth behind the golden mask.
A bunch of hypocritical old guys.
boom!
Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance.
A 'fragment' of a building more than ten stories high fell down.
A group of super-modifiers looked up. Some of the super-modifiers with enhanced vision saw figures speeding around this section of the building, as well as two or three figures flying upside down into the sky. They were equipped with anti-gravity thrusters.
.
Catherine asked the button near the collar: "What's going on over there?"
"The information was blocked, and there was electromagnetic interference in that area, which seemed to be released by external satellites."
"Captain, I'm closer here... someone is sniping at the white ghost, but... your boyfriend is so fierce."
"Holy shit! The white ghost blew out the special defense shield with one punch!? Is this a fucking human? He was fighting against a group of modified humans with his bare hands!"
"Captain, do you still need a boyfriend?"
Catherine:…
"Guard the intersection, and don't do anything other than what is ordered. The security team will go over to support you, so you don't have to worry about it."
Then, she looked into the distance worriedly.
The smoke and dust emitted by that section of the building were constantly billowing, and several sections of suspended lanes that had been blasted were falling downwards.
The battle became a little more intense.
…
Palace module, the emperor's palace.
The emperor, who had put on a simple robe, sat on a self-leverating throne, with his eyelids half-draped and breathing slowly, seemingly turning a blind eye to the figure standing and kneeling below.
Guards have surrounded the entire hall.
Three military bosses stood in a corner on one side, quietly watching the nobles in front of them.
From the time they walked to the position where they could meet the emperor in the army, until now, there has never been such a battle.
The empire's system is backward, but the core power level of the empire is extremely stable.
Where did this big shock start?
It seems that again, the white ghost has arrived at the Emperor Star.
This is really a plague god.
The emperor suddenly spoke: "Don't you just want to say something?"
The princes, princes, and princesses below all bowed their heads, not daring to breathe.
The emperor laughed: "Look, you are either my brothers or my sons and daughters. Each of your names is followed by Sherman. Now you are kneeling here and standing here without saying a word. If
If outsiders see it, they will think you are forcing me to abdicate."
An old prince shouted: "Please convict your Majesty!"
"Condemned?" The emperor said calmly, "You are my third uncle, what crime do you have?"
The old prince sighed, just looked down at the ground and did not answer.
"Why," the emperor said, "whatever you want to do today, you must give me a charter. Although I am the emperor of the empire and the head of the Sherman family, I cannot be allowed to guess your thoughts. Lorna, my daughter,
You tell me."
Princess Lorna, who was standing almost at the end, looked up at the Emperor's father, then immediately lowered her head and knelt down.
"Father, please convict your daughter!"
The emperor's nose trembled slightly: "Then tell me what crime you want!"
Princess Lorna trembled a few times: "Daughter, my daughter is the same guilty as them!"
The emperor closed his eyes and raised his head, with a slight sneer on his lips: "I think you are just here to cheer on the elders outside the palace gate today. You want me to see how big a force you are entangled with!"
"Your Majesty! We are loyal to the empire and loyal to you!"
"Father, please think twice!"
"Prince Venos died tragically in front of him, and Earl Ent died tragically in the back. Now that the Emperor Star is in panic, it is time to go all out to catch the internal thieves and overseas saboteurs who are causing trouble. At this moment, the Council of Elders is forced to a dead end.
, This is really unwise, Your Majesty!”
"Father, the Council of Elders is related to all aspects of the imperial nobility and the daily operations of the entire empire. A single move can affect the whole body..."
"Shut up, everyone."
The emperor's eyes were cold, and the group of Sherman family nobles below fell silent for an instant.
But they know that the emperor will not punish anyone today. They must make retreats and compromises from the perspective of maintaining stability to survive this political crisis smoothly.
Indeed.
Although the emperor was furious at the moment and wanted to drag the following Sherman family members who had been corrupted by the aristocracy to fill the foundation one by one, he still needed to maintain restraint.
Only by taking back daily government affairs step by step can the return of rights be completed smoothly.
The empire may seem strong, but in fact it is riddled with holes; it can be toiled, but it cannot directly lead to national turmoil.
The point is that he can't find a good way to break through the interest groups of these big nobles.
There is no knife in hand, and everything is under control.
"you……"
"His Majesty!"
Suddenly a middle-aged maid shouted outside the palace. She shouted slightly nervously: "A battle between Cyborgs suddenly appeared near the palace! It may affect the palace! Please retreat to a safer area temporarily!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.
His subordinates, of course, understand that at this time, it is impossible to report such a trivial matter casually.
The emperor asked: "Transforming people? Who is fighting?"
"On one side are more than a dozen super reformers whose information cannot be found and should not have been registered. Judging from their strength and the weapons they use, they are all powerful super reformers! The other side is the imperial hero, a forbidden person who has been canonized by you personally.
Knight of the Guard, White Ghost Viscount Hanton!"
"Hanton?" The old emperor's eyes shone, "He's not dead?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, in the current battle, Viscount Hanton has a clear upper hand, and the security team has arrived to support!"
"With one enemy against many, we can still gain the upper hand," the old emperor chuckled. "He is indeed the white ghost who saved countless lives from the insect plague... I remember that there seemed to be a large number of reformers outside the palace gate, and they were sent
In the past, we must protect the heroes of my empire!"
The middle-aged maid immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I'm afraid you can't mobilize these super transformers! Most of them take orders from the Elders' Council! You need to give the order to the Elders' Council before you can let these super transformers
Take action!"
The group of nobles in the palace felt their hearts skip a beat.
It turned out that I was waiting here.
"Hmph!" the old emperor said angrily, "Is this Council of Elders already above me, the emperor?"
The middle-aged maid just sighed.
The old emperor was about to rise up and directly denounce the Council of Elders.
In fact, this was to give himself a step down, scold the Council of Elders for a while, maintain the emperor's face, and then verbally pardon the Council of Elders, so that the Council of Elders would avoid the worry of being punished in the future.
But when the old emperor thought that the double act going down the stairs was performed by an old maid who had served him for decades, none of the useless wimps in front of him could be used!
