At the same time, the Emperor surrounded the Empress Catherine, who was once extremely powerful and influential in the Empire, with her younger brother, Duke Carlos, leading troops to lead them, on the charge that she assisted Duke Austin in the rebellion and was suspected of murdering the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Several light energy cannons were aimed directly at the Empress, who was once extremely powerful and influential in the Empire.
"Carlos, why do you treat me like this? I am your biological sister. You helped the emperor to get me out of power and destroy our entire family..." When Queen Catherine saw the person leading the troops clearly, she couldn't believe it. She never expected that the person who stabbed her in the back at this time was actually her own brother.
She had been proud since childhood and was regarded as the hope of the entire family. Although she was indeed spoiled and never looked down on this unknown younger brother, for the prosperity of the family, she always helped Carlos even when Carlos rebelled against the family.
If it weren't for her secret help, how could Carlos have become one of the seven dukes of the empire at such a young age? She felt that she treated this brother better than her own son.
But she didn't expect Carlos would treat her like this for an OMEGA.
"Sister, I chose to stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor just for the sake of our family. If you continue to do what you want, you will destroy our family..." Carlos spoke coldly, as if he had no good feelings towards his sister, the Queen. "After all, this empire belongs to His Majesty, not our family. As a duke personally appointed by His Majesty, I should obey His Majesty's orders and be loyal to the royal family."
He spoke each word with passion and righteousness: "Sister, please don't blame me. It's hard to be both loyal and filial. You have done such a treasonous thing, so I can only kill you for the sake of justice..."
"Carlos, hello, you are doing very well!" The queen had tears in her eyes and her face was pale. She laughed out loud but she almost fainted.
The emperor looked down upon his wife who had been so arrogant all her life and finally bowed her head in front of him. He was secretly very happy and felt that he had finally been able to hold his head high. He looked at the queen with great contempt and said hypocritically, "Kathaway, you are my first wife. Your family helped me win the throne, and you even gave birth to two children for me. It's not that I don't want to treat you well..."
"But what you did was too excessive. Even our son Austin was corrupted by you. I really cannot tolerate it." Looking at the queen who was already his prisoner, the emperor seemed to think of the pleasure of holding the real power and commanding the support of hundreds of people. He suddenly said in ecstasy: "You have committed such a serious act of treason, and you are so cruel that you conspired with Austin to kill our prince... But I am kind to you after all. You can rest assured. For the sake of our marriage, I will leave your body intact..."
Looking at the man who was calling a horse a zebra and was a villain who had succeeded, the queen was disheartened and she no longer had the desire to refute his nonsense and confuse right and wrong.
She calmly accepted the outcome of her success or failure, but she was still unwilling to accept that she was defeated by such a villain. In the end, she took a deep look at her brother, Duke Carlos: "Carlos... do you think he is a good person? Xue Xin, Kalande helped him so much back then, but what happened to him in the end? You will never get anything good if you try to get the skin of a tiger, especially when it is a heartless tiger..."
"Do you think everyone is your sister? Will they help you and use you like this? You are loyal to him and betray your own sister. I will see what good ending you will have!" The queen looked at the two men who hurt him deeply with determination: "And you, Wilson, do you think everyone is loyal to you like Xue Xin and Kalande? Our son Austin is very much like you, a man-eating and bloodthirsty tiger. He will never sit and wait for death. I will wait for your empire to be overthrown and your building to collapse..."
The emperor was well versed in manipulating public opinion and calling a horse a zebra, and he portrayed himself as a helpless old father who was betrayed by his son and his first wife.
The death of the Queen was embellished in the press release, and the accusations made it evidence that Austin had long been plotting evil and colluding with the Queen and her son to overthrow the empire. The Emperor even published a lot of "evidence" that the Queen and Austin were plotting to murder him. On the Star Network, comments supporting the emperor and the royal family questioning Austin were constantly pushed up, and anyone who spoke up for Austin either had their comments deleted or was criticized so much that their voices were silenced.
In just one night, Austin went from being a meritorious official of the empire and a hero who wiped out the Zerg to a traitor who intended to overthrow the empire and disrupt the peace of the people.
The death of the Queen, under the propaganda of the Emperor's public opinion -
It also marked the beginning of the wise and powerful emperor's campaign to suppress the rebellion.
"...My good father is really good at calling a horse a zebra and confusing right and wrong." The Gemini Fortress was under full martial law, and the tense confrontation between the Austin garrison and the royal legion continued. Although Austin had no feelings for Queen Cathaway a long time ago, when he heard the news of her death and saw the long-unseen online insults that linked them mother and son together, he was distracted for a moment.
Ruan Tang knew that he must be feeling a little touched, so she immediately held his hand gently: "Netizens are always like this, they just follow the crowd, they don't feel the pain unless the knife cuts themselves... Don't worry, the truth will come out one day."
"...Yeah." Auston responded immediately and kissed the back of Ruan Tang's hand gently: "...I only have you, as long as you believe in me, that's enough."
The emperor's navy manipulated public opinion, but the underground forces that Austin had accumulated over the years were no pushovers.
The emperor was vigorously promoting his wisdom and bravery on the Internet, and he was one step ahead of him. After Austin had a falling out with him, he listed all the emperor's past crimes without any scruples.
It was posted on the Internet by anonymous netizens, including the truth about the successive deaths of the two pillars of the empire, Marshal Xue Xin and Marshal Kalande, as well as the emperor's many other deeds over the years to harm loyal officials, including his own injury to his own son, causing Austin to be disabled for life.
Although Xue Xin and Kalande have passed away for many years, the people they once protected and the comrades who once fought side by side with them will never forget them...
As soon as this evidence was posted, the entire Interstellar Network exploded.
"…Fuck, is this true? The cases of General Xue Xin and General Kalande were all committed by the emperor. Although the files from that year have been sealed, I really don't believe a word of it that General Xue was plotting a rebellion."
"Tell me, is this true? And the emperor's own brother, the former crown prince and his wife, were also killed by them... and Prince Andrew was also sterilized."
"He can even harm his own son after he is injured. Is he still a human being?"
"This can't be true, right? The Duke of Austin's disability was actually caused by the emperor. The emperor is his biological father. If this is true, he is too pitiful, isn't he?"
The evidence released by the anonymous account shocked the entire interstellar network.
This time, all the people stood up and petitioned the emperor to give a clear account of these events and an explanation, otherwise he would not be worthy of continuing to be the emperor of the empire...
If so many dirty and disgusting things are true, is this emperor still a human being? Are you still qualified to be emperor?
The emperor did not expect that these old things would be dug up, and he did not expect that these people still remembered Xue Xin and Kalande, and even petitioned him to explain the truth of the year. He was immediately furious and ordered the deletion of these online comments on the spot, and ordered the immediate investigation and arrest of those who posted to expose his past and attempted to manipulate public opinion.
But these members of Austin's team are all top hackers who have been preparing for this day for many years. Now they have a data genius like Wen Run and the support of the chief of the First Research Institute. How can they be easily caught by the emperor?
Not only did the Imperial Internet Police fail to find the person who was secretly spreading evidence of the Emperor's past deeds across the Empire, they couldn't even delete these posts.
Because of Wen Run's support, these posts could not be deleted and directly topped the hot search list on Star Network...
As for the fact that countless accounts that questioned the emperor and petitioned him to explain the truth of that year were constantly blocked, in the eyes of countless people, it seemed that the emperor was guilty and had to ban comments.
The emperor was immediately furious, knowing that all this was manipulated by Austin behind the scenes, so he directly ordered the imperial army to open fire on the Gemini Fortress and attack it.
"Tell me, can the 5S mecha you and Carlos made really kill Austin?" After the emperor gave the order, he was still in fear about Austin, the strongest son of the Spiritual Power Empire. He immediately asked the Emperor Aesop anxiously, wanting to get a more definite answer.
Aesop smiled at the emperor and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, if I am not absolutely sure, how can I dare to persuade you to take such a risk? This mecha and legion are the results and the latest technology of the Carlos family after years of research... It must be able to kill Austin and anyone who is disloyal to you and our royal family."
"It is an unmanned aircraft with its own consciousness. It only obeys the orders of its master, that is, you, the most honorable emperor of our empire. Without a mental network, there are no connection points and no weaknesses. Even if Austin has a strong mental power, he will not be its opponent..." He said gently: "If I am not absolutely sure, how dare I take risks with your majesty and the safety of our entire imperial family?"
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
He was never afraid of actually forcing Auston to rebel, because he was already prepared for his death.
He has the system's blessing, so Auston Kamihil will definitely die...
"Okay, okay, that's great." The dawn of victory and the desire for real power overwhelmed the emperor's reason, leaving him no time to think about anything else. He clapped Aesop's hand excitedly and said, "If you and Carlos can really kill Austin for me and completely annihilate the Queen and Austin's power in the empire... I will make you the Chief Imperial Minister and you will enjoy the treatment of the Regent King in the future."
Aesop immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, my brother."
His ambitions go far beyond this.
At this moment, outside the Gemini Fortress, as the 5S mecha's intelligent center was remotely activated by the emperor, the mecha fragments left over from countless wars in the galaxy instantly gathered towards the intelligent center that was thrown towards the imperial army like iron filings attracted by a magnet.
