Luo Tian knew that this was a rare opportunity to be alone and have a conversation with Rubin about serious matters, so he started the topic by using the cold iron: "Although this cold iron is extremely powerful and can defeat a hundred enemies with one, it is ultimately an outdated weapon and cannot defeat hot weapons such as laser guns and cannons."
"I understand what the prince means. There were too many people at the table just now, so I can't say too much. In the past, the contestants sent by our Uranus City to participate in the Star Picking Competition did lose in the first round, but this was also the intention of the nobles and the emperor. It was to let each star city know that the most powerful person in Uranus City is nothing compared to the masters of other star cities and poses no threat." Rubin explained.
"If we give up our martial arts, others will not bully us?" Luo Tian asked back.
"As long as other star cities find that we have signs of developing technological weapons, they will definitely intervene militarily. By then, there will probably be a catastrophic disaster, and our good days will be over. Prince, don't forget this!" Rubin reminded.
Luo Tian poured wine for Rubin and continued, "I have received reliable intelligence that the other five star cities have set their sights on us and have begun to formulate a battle plan to divide Uranus City. At the same time, some people within our group are planning to launch a coup. This is the result of our patience. If it were a peaceful era, we might be able to survive, but now that all the star cities are facing a crisis, we can only be at the mercy of others."
"Is the prince's information true?" Rubin asked after taking a sip of wine.
"Absolutely reliable." Luo Tian said. In fact, he had not verified the information given by Shu Ya. He said this in order to test Rubin's attitude. "You are entrusted by my father to take charge of the army. If there is an invasion from the outside by a powerful enemy or a rebellion from the inside, how will you respond?"
Rubin took two sips of wine, his face flushed, he looked at Luo Tian and said: "My Rubin family will do our best to protect the power and orthodoxy of the Rob family."
"Uncle Rubin, are you sure of victory when facing the technological weapons of other star cities?" Luo Tian asked.
Rubin was silent at this time and shook his head: "The current military equipment is backward and it is difficult to deal with." He felt that Luo Tian had something else in his words, "Prince, do you have any way to deal with it?"
"I can't think of a second solution except to deploy high-tech weapons on a large scale as soon as possible. I think it is necessary to act early and take the initiative." Luo Tian said.
Rubin held the wine glass tightly and looked at Luo Tian: "So the prince wants to break the Star City Convention. Does your father agree to this?"
"Whether father agrees or not, we have to do this. If the Uranus District and Uranus City are gone, can the Robert family and the Rubin family survive?" Luo Tian looked at Rubin with sharp eyes.
Rubin was sweating profusely, not knowing whether it was because he drank too much or was too nervous. He found that Luo Tian in front of him did not look like a child who had just grown up. Instead, he had vision and ambition that ordinary people could not match.
"Let's be frank, so I came to see Uncle Rubin this time because I hope you can support me." Seeing that Rubin was deep in thought, Luo Tian directly expressed his thoughts.
Rubin was extremely anxious at this time. He and Robert had been friends since childhood. They were not only the emperor and his subject, but also close friends, so he would unconditionally support Robert's idea. At present, Robert had not revealed the emperor's successor, so Rubin could not directly express his attitude.
"I know what the prince means. Personally, I admire your martial arts and strategy very much. But you have two older brothers. I, Rubin, am loyal to Emperor Robert, so I will support whoever the emperor supports. The key is not me, but your father." Although Rubin admired Luo Tian, he did not dare to put the fate of his family in the hands of the young man in front of him.
Luo Tian also understood that Rubin meant to remain neutral, and he would support whoever Rob chose. He suddenly felt sad and angry. All the nobles were as conservative and selfish as his father. They only considered their own interests and never worried about the fate of the Uranus District and Uranus City. In such a rigid environment, I am afraid that the fate they will face is only destruction.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Rubin. I understand what you mean. I would rather you be loyal to every resident of the Tianwang District, not just my Robert family. If I can ascend to the throne one day, I will definitely promote the idea I just told you. I hope you will not object then." Luo Tian drank the wine in the glass.
Robert didn't quite understand the first half of the sentence, but he agreed with the second half: "If you inherit the throne, my Rubin family will naturally be loyal to you unconditionally."?
