Sure enough, this day has finally come.

Looking at the silver-white battleship slowly descending from the sky, Olivet smiled bitterly.

In fact, ever since Crossbell became independent, the empire has been in chaos. The aristocracy took this opportunity to accuse the reformists of failing to act in time, which led to the empire losing such an important place as Crossbell. And when the empire

After the dispatched troops were annihilated by Crossbell's warships, and even the Karelia Fortress was completely wiped out, the noble faction once again vigorously condemned Prime Minister Osborne's dereliction of duty, saying that he had gone to Crossbell to participate in the Western Semilia

During the trade conference, the empire was not able to find out the truth and falsehood of the other party, which resulted in the empire suffering such a serious blow.

All in all, it was all Prime Minister Osborne's fault.

The aristocratic faction not only used this to suppress the reformists, but even asked Emperor Jurgante III to continue the attack on Crossbell, indicating that "the imperial soldiers would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed. Surrendering is not the dignity of our empire. If we cannot protect the honor of the martyrs of the empire,

Glory, I would rather fight to the death."

Although the aristocrats spoke aggressively, Prince Olivet understood that they were just using this to put pressure on the emperor. After all, the rise of the reformists was inseparable from Jurgante III. And if this matter can be used as a

As a guise, it would be best if Jurgante III gave up the idea of ​​reform and continued to maintain the existing aristocratic system of the empire.

"Why……………"

Thinking of this, Prince Olivet sighed. Now there were overt and covert fights within the empire, and in order to cut through the trouble quickly, Jurgante III decided to sign an agreement with Founder to recognize Crossbell's independence.

Prince Olivet knew what his father was thinking. After all, the Republic of Calvard had surrendered first, so it would not be shameful for them to sign the contract. Of course, domestic public opinion was somewhat difficult to explain. But as long as the ugly behavior of Calvard was publicized,

Then the empire's own problems will be ignored.

And as long as the matter is settled, the noble faction can no longer use this opportunity to make trouble, and Jurgante III can also take this opportunity to slowly deal with them.

But Olivet felt that his father had acted too hastily. You must know that although the aristocracy used Crossbell's incident to make trouble, many of them were indeed opposed to the emperor's recognition of Crossbell's independence. In this case,

Under such circumstances, if the emperor forcibly signed an agreement, the consequences would be unpredictable...

Although this already gave Olivet a headache, when he looked at Fang Zheng walking off the spaceship alone, Olivet's head hurt even more.

"Hey, long time no see...or maybe it's not that long actually?"

"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng."

Olivet also greeted him with a wry smile, then he looked left and then again.

"Just you?"

"There's no other way, everyone else is busy, and the little girl doesn't want to go a long way... So there's no other way, so I have to come alone. It's not a big deal anyway, it's just a formality.

"

Fangzheng spread his hands and shrugged. As he said, Crossbell is currently full of waste. Although the system team is still the same, the new constitution and the modification of laws and regulations are also very troublesome. In fact,

Fang Zheng originally planned to ask Ellie to come with him. After all, she is the daughter of Speaker Crossbell and has a certain status. However, Ellie was too busy and had a headache. On the other hand, she also felt that it would be too much for her to meet with the Emperor.

I was embarrassed, so I tried my best not to go.

As for Ling, Tio and the others - Fang Zheng had already taken them around the empire, so naturally he was not interested in taking another trip.

Only Trisha and Tova's identities are more embarrassing. Towa is okay. Her family has moved to Libel, so there is no big problem. But Trisha is different. Her uncle is now the chief executive of the Crimson Empire.

And she now holds an important position in Starlight Technology... Although Trisha also feels that Crossbell's independence is not a wrong move, it still makes her a little embarrassed to have her go back to face her uncle and brother.

So after thinking about it, Trisha also chose to refuse to go with her.

Xiaohei and Illya were not interested in such an occasion, and it would be too big a scene for the mental models to follow them, so after much deliberation, Fang Zheng decided to come alone.

Anyway, this is just like signing a house sale agreement, it's just a formality.

If you go faster, you might be able to get home in time for dinner.

Generally speaking, for an agreement like this, it would take several days to entertain the guests. But Fang Zheng was waiting to go home for dinner, and Jurgante III was also afraid of long nights and dreams. After obtaining Fang Zheng's consent,

It was decided that everything in this signing ceremony would be simple. The two parties would meet first, and then the iron-blooded prime minister would give a speech to the public in the square. Then both parties would sign the ceremony, and then each would go back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers... Well, from a certain perspective,

As a "defeated country", Erebonia did not want to hold any particularly grand ceremony to entertain the culprit who had robbed its territory.

So, under the leadership of Olivet, Fang Zheng met Jurgante III, the princess, and several princes in the palace hall.

"Hello, first time meeting, His Majesty Jurgante III."

Fang Zheng smiled and greeted Jurgante III, as if he was just waving casually.

"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng, I have heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect that our first meeting would be on this occasion... How should I call you?"

When Jurgante III said this, he also looked at Fang Zheng in confusion. Although Fang Zheng represented Starlight Technology in controlling Cross Bell, he only said that Cross Bell was independent. Regarding his own position, Fang Zheng did not disclose anything at all.

.

Is it the head of state? Prime Minister? Prime Minister? King? Or something else?

"The title is just a title, anything will do. Well...if you insist, you can call me Archon."

"Archon?"

Hearing this strange title, Jurgante III was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand, Your Majesty the Archon, it's okay for me to call you this."

"Of course, I don't care."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the entire hall in front of him. Although it was said to be a signing ceremony, there were only the king, the princess, a few princes and guards present in the hall. Many ministers and nobles were nowhere to be seen, including Jurgante III.

The emperor seemed very dignified, and the princess sitting next to him was also very calm. In addition, on the left and right sides of the two people, there were two young girls wearing red royal uniforms, standing beside the king.

The boy looked a little young, and he looked at Fang Zheng with a bit of fear and uneasiness. The girl standing on the left side of the princess was slightly older than the boy before, and had wavy golden curly hair. She looked at

Xiang Fangzheng's eyes were full of curiosity and excitement, even a little sparkling.

And Ovilett stood further away. Logically speaking, as a prince, he shouldn't stand there, but I heard that there seemed to be some problems with Ovilett's background, so even though he was the eldest prince, he didn't.

How to inherit the throne...well, no wonder it is like this.

At this moment, the speech of the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister Osborne began to sound from the loudspeakers outside. Of course, the content of the speech was nothing more than that although Crossbell had made a rebellious act, the empire could not bear to start a war and let the civilians suffer in it. This was quite true.

That seemed to be the case, but for Fang Zheng, who knew that the Imperial Fortress train gun was firing at Crossbell, this statement seemed very funny.

"Your Majesty the Consul, please."

At this time, his subordinates had also arranged the long table for the signing. Jurgante III stood up from the throne and made a gesture to Fang Zheng. The latter nodded, and then the two sat down on both sides of the long table.

Immediately afterwards, someone placed the agreement in front of both parties. Then all they had to do was wait for Prime Minister Osborne to finish his speech and then sign the agreement, and everything would be fine.

Now Prime Minister Osborne's speech also changed the subject, and began to accuse the Imperial Liberation Front of terrorists, accusing them of despicably and shamelessly invading the fortress, and almost causing the tragedy... Well, if Fang Zheng hadn't witnessed it himself

Seeing that the Karelia Fortress was bombarded to the point where nothing was left, he wondered if this man had personally experienced some fortress invasion incident.

It seems that telling lies with open eyes is indeed a consistent tactic of all politicians in the world, and there are no exceptions everywhere.

"We should gather all our strength to overcome all these sufferings until..."

However, at this moment, suddenly, the sounds outside stopped.

This also surprised Jurgante III. He put down the pen in his hand and looked at the gate in confusion, while Fang Zheng also looked over curiously.

What's going on?

"Report to Your Majesty!!!"

However, soon, a guard was seen rushing in.

"Prime Minister Osborne was sniped by unidentified armed men during his speech and has died!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Jurgante III was immediately shocked and stood up.

"Is this true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can see it clearly... The other party seems to have launched a sniper attack in a place that we can't take care of. We are currently tracking down the murderer..."

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!!"

At the same time, another soldier rushed in.

"Just now, a battleship suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in the Imperial Capital Square! The opponent released a large number of humanoid weapons and is attacking us!"

"What? Mr. Fangzheng? You..."

"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me."

Facing the gaze of Jurgante III, Fang Zheng waved his hand, and the soldier also hurriedly spoke.

"That was not an attack from Crossbell, Your Majesty, the enemy is...the noble faction!"

"What?!!!"

Hearing the report, Jurgent III was immediately shocked. However, at this moment, with a loud "boom", the originally closed door was blasted open, and then several robots rushed in, killing Fang Zheng and Jurgent.
Chapter completed!
