Xi Wei was taken to Lyra's residence by the second princess Siya. This is a large manor, almost as large as the palace of the king of God. There are many constant temperature cultivation rooms in the manor, which are filled with all kinds of fresh vegetables and Fruits, and there is a large flower cultivation base next door. Nuoda's manor looks extraordinarily quiet under the sunshine in the morning, like a paradise away from disputes.
It was obviously a correct choice for His Majesty to marry Princess Xiya to a wealthy businessman far away in Lyra.
Princess Xiya's Alpha is a businessman with a clean family background and has nothing to do with the imperial military regime. In this way, even if there is a coup in the military, Princess Xiya will not be affected, at least her Alpha can protect her.
"Brother Wang, let's go upstairs to rest first." Xi Ya led her brother to the upstairs guest room.
When Xi Wei was going upstairs, he suddenly heard a cry of a baby. Realizing that it was his sister's nephew, he couldn't help but said, "Is your son crying? Come and show me."
"Okay, brother Wang, you go into the room first, and I'll pick up the baby." Xi Ya settled her brother, and then turned around and carried the child over.
The chubby child kept waving his chubby little hands and was crying in Xi Ya's arms. Xi Wei took him over and hugged him. Miraculously, the child stopped crying after being hugged by his uncle. He looked at Xi Wei curiously with his eyes wide open.
Xi Wei smiled slightly, pinched the child's face and said, "It's so cute."
As a mother, Xi Ya couldn't help showing a soft smile on her face, saying: "Brother Wang's future children will definitely be cuter."
"..." Xi Wei bristled, and immediately stuffed the child back into his sister's arms, "Cough...you should hold it."
——My old man is too outrageous to be pregnant and have a child. Even if he is with Claire, he absolutely does not want to have a child!
Xi Wei secretly made up his mind.
Seeing her elder brother's embarrassing expression, Xi Ya couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Wang and Major General Claire have a good relationship, right? You have been holding hands all the time, and you look very close. You should have children after you get married."
"Ahem." Xi Wei didn't want to continue the discussion. He looked around the room and changed the subject, "Aside from asking you to come and pick me up, did your father tell you anything else?"
Xi Ya said: "Father only told me to take Brother Wang home safely, and told us not to go out for the time being, and we will adapt accordingly when Caesar comes over."
Xi Wei nodded: "Then you go and do your work. Since my father arranged it this way, I think something big will happen on Capital Star soon."
What Xi Wei expected was right, not long after, a shocking news came from Capital Star.
The Capital Star Central Radio Station broadcast a piece of news throughout the empire—
The head of the Legion of Glory, Marshal Rosen Bessemer of the Empire, was accidentally ambushed by the Federation Legion during the battle leading the Legion of Glory to Namistar, and his whereabouts were unknown for many days.
At eight o'clock this morning, Lieutenant General Coleman, the deputy head of the Legion of Glory, led his guards to find a large number of mecha fragments in the cosmic wormhole. After verification by the Mecha Association, those fragments all came from Marshal Rosen's exclusive machine. A black dragon.
After careful investigation by the military department, it has been confirmed that the black dragon's intelligent body is no longer alive, and the marshal driving the black dragon has already died in the cosmic wormhole. Ship it back to Cepheus, and hold a formal military ceremony for the marshal three days later...
This news immediately caused an uproar in the empire!
Marshal Rosen has led the Legion of Glory to guard the borders of the empire these years. To the people of the empire, the marshal is the undefeated God of War in everyone's mind. As long as he is there, the peace and tranquility of the empire can be guaranteed.
Now, the marshal has actually died, and the people of the empire are sad and angry at the same time, wishing to kill the federal enemy who attacked the marshal!
When Xi Wei saw the news, he knew that things were not that simple.
At the beginning, Claire was also ambushed by the enemy and her whereabouts were unknown, but she came back a year later, saying that she was rescued by General Ling Yu. Maybe the marshal is also going to perform some secret mission? Isn't that general Ling Yu who was stationed on Navi star the marshal's lover back then? Since he could save Claire, it is even more impossible for him to watch the marshal die before his eyes.
Confused, Xi Wei took the initiative to contact Claire.
This time, Blue Star's communicator was quickly connected. Before Xi Wei could ask, Claire took the initiative to say, "Did you see the news? Don't worry, General Ling Yu is going to save people. The marshal is definitely not dead. I Currently in the temporary management of the underground military base on Namei, waiting to join your Uncle Wang."
Xi Wei asked in surprise, "Uncle Wang is going there too?"
"Yeah." Claire nodded, and said, "Your Uncle Berg sneaked into the guard battalion of the Long Snake Legion, pretended to be a soldier, and left Capital Star with General Drew and Carlo, and is currently rushing to On the way to Navistar."
Xi Wei was startled, stood up from the sofa, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that the father has expected this a long time ago, so he will make arrangements to send me away in advance. What are the next arrangements?"
"Do you still remember the last time in the Eastville galaxy, when I went to support the marshal but was ambushed?" Claire said in a low voice, "The other party is obviously waiting for the rabbit. I felt strange at the time, as if our actions had long been blocked I have the same thing, and it is unreasonable for the federal enemy army to kill me. After I woke up, I contacted the marshal to explain the situation. He also believed that there was an insider in the military department, and this person might even join forces with the federal enemy army. The purpose is to get rid of me and the marshal."
Xi Wei was shocked in his heart - he didn't expect that there would be such a scum in the Imperial Army! For the sake of his own power, he actually united with the enemy army and wanted to get rid of the best general of the empire!
Claire went on to say: "Something will definitely happen at the marshal's funeral. Don't worry, wait until your brother Caesar comes over to make plans."
Xi Wei frowned and said, "I'm in Lyra, and Caesar went to Planet Ryan, isn't there only the father and queen left in the imperial palace of the capital star?! What if those people want to kill the father and mother in a frenzy? ?”
"Don't worry, my father is also on Capital Star. If necessary, he will cover His Majesty and the Queen to escape from the imperial palace." Claire paused, and said, "Xi Wei, stop thinking about it, keep your spirits up, and wait for news from your uncle." Bar."
Xi Wei could only nod his head and said, "You have to take care too."
"I know." Claire smiled and cut off the communication.
Three days later in the afternoon, all the television channels of the Lacey Empire broadcast the funeral at the capital star of Cepheus at the same time.
Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Victor, the soldiers of the Legion of Glory escorted the carrier vehicle filled with fragments of the Marshal's mecha, slowly passed along the streets of the central city of Capital Star, and marched neatly in the direction of the Imperial Martyrs Cemetery. A black and white photo frame surrounded by garlands is placed between two neat rows of military hover vehicles, and inside is the portrait of Marshal Rosen.
The man in the portrait is handsome, with calm eyes, and the photo is as realistic as a marshal in person.
Many people in the capital star remembered how the marshal led the Legion of Glory through the central star field when he returned in triumph many times. However, now, the same Legion of Glory, the same scene, no longer had the joy of returning victorious, but it was replaced by shocking The remains of the mecha and the black and white portrait in the middle photo frame.
The mourning music accompanied by the army was played, and the atmosphere of the funeral was extremely depressing. Many people even couldn't help but shed tears.
General August Orlando, the 180-year-old but still very strong Thunder Corps commander, was wearing a dark purple general uniform similar to black, and turned to face the crowd. Obviously, he wanted to express his respect to Rosen on behalf of the military. funeral speech—
"Today, we have a grand gathering here. With a very heavy and sad heart, we mourn the seventh marshal of the empire, the head of the Legion of Glory, Rosen Bessemer."
"On December 1, 742 in the cosmic calendar, Rosen was born in an ordinary family in the capital star of Cepheus. In the 770th year of the cosmic calendar, Rosen was admitted to the St. Romia Military Academy with excellent results in all three courses. The career of an Imperial soldier…”
There was no sound at the funeral, only Admiral August's deep voice was amplified through the wireless microphone and echoed repeatedly over the silent cemetery.
This speech recounted the life of Marshal Rosen in detail, telling his experience of these years in a calm and heavy tone.
The funeral appeal said that it is human nature for the deceased to try to say good things in life, but August's speech was too exaggerated, and even promoted Rosen to the height of a god. From what he said, it seems that Rosen is a rare military commander who is rare in a hundred years. He is invincible and invincible, and has even become the spiritual pillar of the Imperial Army
August always had a serious expression and a heavy tone. The people believed his words, and their emotions were also moved by the touching speech. They couldn't help feeling sorry for the sacrifice of the Imperial Marshal, and some even shed tears in front of the TV. .
Xi Wei and Xi Ya sat in front of the big screen and watched the live broadcast of the funeral. Xi Wei couldn't help but said, "This August, hasn't he always been at odds with the marshal? What does it mean to praise the marshal at a funeral?"
At this moment, August paused for a few seconds, staring sharply at the direction of the camera, and suddenly changed the topic: "Marshal Rosen paid the most attention to the people of the Empire in his life, and what he wanted to see the most was the people of the Empire." True democracy and freedom can be realized! In today's technologically advanced universe era, the empire still adopts the old constitutional monarchy, which is not beneficial to the development of the empire!"
"Brother Wang!" Princess Xiya said in surprise, "Does he mean to take the opportunity to eliminate the royal family by saying that?"
Xi Wei said coldly: "I finally understand their purpose. These provocative words at the marshal's funeral are obviously intended to incite the emotions of the people of the empire, and turn everyone's grief for the marshal's sacrifice into sympathy for the imperial family. Hatred! And he also blamed the Marshal for all of this, as if the Marshal meant to clear the royal family! Anyway, the Marshal is not here, and there is no proof of death!"
Sure enough, August raised his voice and said firmly: "The royal family has been doing nothing for these years. While the marshal is desperately killing the enemy on the front line, your majesty and the queen are spending their days leisurely in the palace. The daily expenses of the luxurious palace It exceeds the income of ordinary people for a whole year! Such a royal family is not qualified to represent the wishes of the people of our empire! Here, I hope that all soldiers in the empire can inherit the will of the marshal—abolish the royal family and fight for true democracy. fighting!"
August's cold eyes swept across the audience, and he said loudly: "—Salute!"
With one order, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers put their white-gloved hands on the brim of their hats at the same time.
Along with the mourning music of the funeral, there was also the artillery fire from the military war.
bang bang bang—
Hundreds of tiny cannonballs soared into the sky at the same time, bursting into clusters of dazzling fireworks in the sky above Capital Star!
On July 9, 799 in the cosmic calendar, at the funeral of Marshal Rosen of the Empire, Admiral August publicly announced the abolition of the royal family, and a civil war between the military and the royal family broke out.
A new central government was subsequently established, with August as the interim president and Major General Jon as the president of the Senate.
The Thunder Legion immediately surrounded the Imperial Palace. The Royal Guard suffered heavy casualties. His Majesty Trande and Queen Anna stayed behind closed doors.
Xi Wei clenched his fists angrily. His father and Uncle Wang had expected it right. Some people in the military department had been plotting against him for many years. After taking the opportunity to get rid of the talented rookie Major General Clare and the prestigious Marshal Rosen, they Finally couldn't help but act!
The so-called mediocrity, extravagance and waste of the royal family, the will of the Marshal to pursue democracy—these are all fucking excuses!
Fortunately, the father was far-sighted and sent all the princesses and princes away in advance.
Xi Wei is now particularly worried about the situation of his father and queen mother. Judging from the live broadcast of the TV station, the Imperial Palace has been bombarded into a pile of ruins. Although the Royal Guard is a group of elite troops loyal to the royal family, it can be compared with the entire Thunderbolt. As far as the strength of the legion is concerned, it cannot be compared at all.
While fidgeting, Xi Wei finally looked forward to the message from Uncle Berg: "Go to the Navi star military base immediately and meet Prince Caesar."
