Chapter 524: The Rebel Leader and the Imperial Princess 36
After Lance's birthday, he stayed at the princess's house for three more days before returning to the starship.
When he left, a new servant in the mansion did not recognize him and quietly asked his companion: "Who is this lord?"
The companion also responded quietly: "He is the favorite male favorite of Her Highness Silis, but I have never heard of his achievements and reputation. I guess he is holding an insignificant and unworthy position in the army because of Her Highness's favor."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Lance ignored it.
He walked away without stopping, his heart calm.
His glory does not need to be known to everyone.
I only need the approval of Your Highness.
This is enough for his life.
…
After their military depots were attacked, the strength of the nine corps was greatly reduced.
However, the rebels' harassment of them became more and more frequent.
They were forced to be unable to restore their armed forces, and the development of their terrestrial planets and legions was severely stagnant or even regressed.
In contrast, the First Legion led by Cha Jiu was indeed growing stronger day by day. Not only did they invite the interstellar number one mechanic Carlos Lu to upgrade their weapons and equipment, but they also had not been attacked by any rebel forces and were living a smooth life.
"If I hadn't known that the royal family and the rebels were mortal enemies, I would have suspected that Princess Silis was colluding with the rebels."
A military leader jokingly complained.
Unfortunately, this guess, which sounds the most absurd but is also the closest to the truth, did not attract the attention of other legion leaders. They were concentrating on plotting how to jointly put pressure on Cha Jiu so that they could buy the advanced weapons modified by Carlos at a low price.
But despite this.
Finally, at the negotiation table, they were still tricked by Cha Jiu into spending a huge price to buy these weapons that were about to be eliminated by the First Legion.
However, Cha Jiu used the money earned from the scam... ahem, to continue investing it into equipment upgrades, and obtained a batch of more advanced and powerful equipment, which made these legion leaders so angry that they vomited blood.
Cunning royal blood!
The legion leaders gnashed their teeth.
But because of this, the gap between their strength and Cha Jiu's became wider and wider...
The Emperor was also very covetous of the First Legion and proposed many times to bring the First Legion under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, but was fooled by Cha Jiu with just a few words.
That day, he suddenly had a whim and made a video call, asking to talk to Cha Jiu.
At this time, Cha Jiu was playing the "Black Lace Game" with Lance.
Lance suppressed his anger and got out of bed, while Cha Jiu slowly tidied up his clothes and answered the call.
The emperor looked dissatisfied and asked: "Why did it take so long?"
Cha Jiu answered casually, "I was just dealing with official business and was delayed."
Before she finished her words, Lance's shadow accidentally appeared on the video screen on her side.
It was obviously the shadow of a man.
The emperor understood immediately.
He snorted coldly, and in his heart he slightly let down his guard against the daughter who was in charge of the legion.
In his opinion, the more Cha Jiu indulges in sensual pleasures and pursues external desires, the more beneficial it will be for him to take back the First Legion.
"If you like male favorites, come back to the Imperial Capital. Your father can find you as many as you want." The emperor said, "As long as you hand over the legion to me, you will enjoy a more honorable status in the empire than the princes."
Cha Jiu was listening to the emperor's big cake in a disjointed manner. Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally saw Lance, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, walking to the opposite side. He found his pants from the clothes scattered on the ground, put them on angrily, and prepared to walk out.
She said a few more perfunctory words to the emperor, then hung up the call and asked the angry dog, "Where are you going?"
Lance's hand was already on the door handle, and his face was dark: "Attack the Imperial Capital Star."
Cha Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hooked her finger at him: "Come here."
Lance walked back obediently.
He was wearing just a pair of pants on his lower body, and was completely naked on his upper body. His strong muscles were evenly covered everywhere, full of strength.
"Don't worry, let's finish our 'official business' first..."
Her soft white hands covered the back of his neck, pressed down his head, and kissed his lips...
…
On the surface, Cha Jiu transferred the leadership of the First Army to the Emperor, but in reality, the army still obeyed her.
The emperor was ecstatic. Not only did he send all his fleets to pick up the elite troops of the First Legion, he also took away all the eye-catching weapons and armaments.
The other nine legions were secretly laughing at Cha Jiu.
What is the use of vomiting blood?
What is the use of smart calculations?
In the end, you are still making wedding clothes for others and you have nothing.
As for the Emperor, he had just arranged his army and weapons when the imperial capital was hit by an unprecedented large-scale attack by the rebels.
The rebels seemed determined to break through the Imperial City this time, and they gathered all their strength and equipment to launch an attack. The Royal Army was defeated on the front line, leaving only the defense barrier covering the Imperial City still struggling to hold on.
The emperor panicked: "Quick! Send the First Legion to fight!"
As a result, the First Army went into battle.
However, they joined forces with the rebels to deal with the emperor's guards and army!
Only the soldiers of the First Legion could use those weapons after inputting their own genetic codes. The Royal Army could not use them at all. I have to say that Carlos was really meticulous in this aspect.
The emperor sat calmly on the golden throne.
Cha Jiu and Lance, who was wearing rebel military uniforms, walked into the hall, followed by a huge army.
The prince stood beside the emperor, fearful inside but trying to remain calm on the outside, saying with a righteous voice: "Cilisi, you actually colluded with the rebels to commit treason. The people will not support you to sit on the throne."
Cha Jiu sneered: "If the people don't support me, will they support you, a scum who plays with young girls?"
The prince's face changed drastically: "What do you mean?"
Cha Jiu didn't bother talking to him and sent someone to connect to the interstellar network, broadcasting live to the entire universe using the royal account.
Everything that happens in the hall will be seen clearly by everyone.
The Royal Family account already had many followers, and everyone knew that the Imperial Capital was currently under attack by the rebels, so when they saw the Royal Family start broadcasting at this time, they all curiously rushed in to watch.
"What's going on? Is this going to happen?"
"Damn, it seems like Princess Silis is planning to abdicate!"
"What!"
This explosive news spread quickly across the stars, and almost everyone in the Empire logged onto the interstellar network at the same time to watch the live broadcast.
Most people do not know the true face of the royal family and are deceived by the emperor's hypocritical mask. Therefore, they are very resistant to Cha Jiu's move to force the emperor to abdicate, saying that even if she ascends the throne by illegal means, she will not get their support.
The screen was filled with a barrage of scolding and admonition.
"This princess is usually extravagant and licentious. The spices she burns at night alone are enough to feed and clothe hundreds of families for half a year. How can such a person be the emperor?"
"Princess Silis, please stop and don't ruin the good reputation your mother has accumulated over the years..."
Lance looked at these barrages and was furious. He felt that they were a group of fools who were manipulated by the emperor. They were ridiculous and annoying.
Little did he know that he was once one of them and had a great prejudice against Cha Jiu.
There were also a few addresses showing Gamma Star accounts speaking well of Cha Jiu, but they were quickly drowned out by the verbal abuse that filled the screen.
It was not until Cha Jiu played the evidence of the royal family's crimes collected by the imperial concubine on the spot that these people shut up.
In the video, there are cries of young children, howls of pain from experimental subjects, and the bodies of countless refugees who died of starvation on the invaded planet...
All of this is in stark contrast to the prince's sated and perverted smile, and the emperor and the nobles' cold-blooded attitude of treating human life as worthless.
The netizens of the Empire could never have imagined that what they had been supporting all along turned out to be such rubbish.
There were fewer opposing barrages, and those supporting Cha Jiu were able to be seen by everyone.
"...Her Highness Silis uses spices not for herself, but to provide a livelihood for our poor planet." This is from a post by the online user named Lawrence.
"You were not the invaded party, so you certainly don't know the abominable faces of these colonial nobles. They took away our farmland and treated us like playthings, slaughtering us for fun in the gladiatorial arena... Fortunately, Princess Silis drove them away and returned Gamma to us."
This sentence also comes from a netizen from Gamma Star.
Gradually, more and more people began to speak up for Cha Jiu.
The work that Lance had done previously to spread the reputation of the empress and princess among the people also came into play at this time, guiding the direction of public opinion.
Within a short period of time, the online public opinion completely turned to supporting the emperor and princess next to them to succeed to the throne.
The human heart is always swayed by the wind.
Cha Jiu always knows.
He does not take malicious words to heart, and naturally will not be happy or upset by temporary compliments.
She ordered her men to capture the emperor, but he suddenly turned into a half-human, half-insect monster and escaped.
It turns out that in order to gain a longer life, the emperor actually extracted the genes of the Zerg and modified himself.
Lance was quick to grab him and push him against the wall.
The prince took advantage of the situation and got on a spare fighter plane to escape. Just when he was happy that he had escaped successfully, he turned around and flew the fighter plane into the belly of the Ghost-faced Moth King.
"Burp~"
The Ghost-Faced Moth King was somewhat disgusted.
It turned out to be dirty stuff. My stomach felt uncomfortable after eating it.
…
Such a huge empire cannot be without a monarch for a day.
Cha Jiu's coronation ceremony was rushed, and although it was hasty, it was still dignified and grand.
She was wearing a gorgeous rose-red dress, her golden hair tied in a bun, and a coronation cape, and she walked up the long steps covered with a red carpet step by step.
At the end of the long stairs is the golden chair that symbolizes power.
Behind him are the eyes of countless people.
Lance and other generals stood on both sides of the red carpet, watching from afar as Cha Jiu walked towards the supreme position.
suddenly.
Cha Jiu looked back at him and stretched out his hand to him: "Lance Stuart, would you like to join me?"
Countless surprised eyes fell on Lance following her movements.
