After Luo Tian withdrew from Kaiyuan, he quickly contacted Rubin to inquire about the progress of capturing MiG.
Rubin replied, "Your Majesty, we are fighting with the army of Beizhen. The progress is relatively smooth now. We are about to attack Miguel's mansion. But Miguel's whereabouts are still unclear."
"We must catch him, whether alive or dead. If we let him run away, we must find out where he went." Luo Tian instructed.
Luo Tian contacted Sharp again, asking about the battle situation in Xizhen and Roger's situation.
Sharp reported the current battle situation to Luo Tian: "With the advantage of the number of troops, we are now moving forward as planned. In particular, the newly promulgated military merit policy has completely stimulated the soldiers' fighting power. Many soldiers in West Town have surrendered in order to gain freedom, so West Town will be captured soon."
"What are the movements of Roger and the Martha family?" Luo Tian asked.
"What we can be sure of now is that they are still in the city directing the battle," Sharp said.
"Roger and Roy are royal family after all. Tell them that for the sake of their father and brotherly friendship, if they are willing to surrender, I will spare their lives. The Martha family can retain their titles, but the control of West Town will be managed by me." Luo Tian still did not want a situation of mutual slaughter to occur, and wanted to leave a bloodline for Robert.
"Yes, sir. I will convey your message to Roger and Martha right away," Sharp replied.
Luo Tian had just finished dealing with the battlefield situations in North Town and West Town when Lorraine came in to report to him the attitudes of the various star cities.
"Your Majesty, I have just finished communicating with the envoys from various star cities. The current situation is mixed." Lorraine said.
"Tell me about it." Luo Tian listened carefully.
"Mercury City, Venus City, and Mars City have agreed not to intervene in the war, but the prerequisite is that we need to join the survival alliance led by them, sign a covenant, and participate in joint combat."
"What a big tone! What if I don't participate?" Luo Tian asked.
"If we do not agree to this condition, they will send out a full-scale military operation. At that time, they will not only fight in Star City, but will also send troops to attack our King District." Lorraine said.
"Rogue, scoundrel, typical invader." Luo Tian cursed angrily, which reminded him of a popular word called imperialism three hundred years ago. "What about the other star cities?"
"Jupiter City said it would no longer intervene in the war and declared neutrality. I heard from the Jupiter ambassador that this was an order personally issued by the Supreme Archon, mainly out of consideration for the friendship of an old friend."
"I see. Jupiter City is quite reasonable." Luo Tian knew in his heart that this was a favorable situation that his master Dugu Yun had secured for him after he personally went to the Jupiter area.
"Saturn City is the most stubborn. They do not recognize your status and have made it clear that they will continue to support the rebellion until you announce your abdication."
"It's ridiculous, too ridiculous. What qualifications does Saturn City have to interfere in the internal affairs of our Tianwang District? Since Saturn City has clearly stated that it is unwilling to cooperate with us, there is no need to continue talking to them. In this situation, what suggestions do you have?" Luo Tian asked.
"The biggest threat now comes from Saturn City. If Saturn City insists on attacking us, it will be difficult to resist with the current military strength. So we must seek external aid. Jupiter City is the external aid we can strive for. I think the conditions proposed by the Survival Alliance are not impossible to consider." Lorraine analyzed.
Luo Tian knew the current situation. The reason why Saturn City was so arrogant was that it was sure that the other star cities wanted to divide Uranus City to solve its Kaiyuan crisis. The current Kaiyuan crisis was on the verge of breaking out, and one star city would definitely have to be sacrificed to feed the other star cities. Although Uranus City was the weakest, it was not a lamb that had to be slaughtered. In political competition, strength was important, but interests were fundamental. Joining the Survival Alliance was not what Luo Tian wanted, but the current situation was critical. In order for Uranus City to survive, he could only endure the humiliation.
"I agree with your suggestion. There is no need to talk to Saturn City anymore. The focus should be on the negotiations with the Survival Alliance. Tell them that we intend to join the Survival Alliance, but there are conditions. First, they must recognize the legitimacy of the current Tianwang District regime and give support. Second, they must not interfere in the internal affairs of the Tianwang District. Third, Uranus City will only launch operations against enemies that threaten its own security. At the same time, the Survival Alliance must provide resource support." Luo Tian said, "We can't just allow them to make conditions. We have to make conditions for them as well."
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. I will talk to the Survival Alliance right away." Lorraine replied.
"As for Jupiter City, you should also try to talk to them and see if they are willing to form an alliance with our Uranus City. Although I know that Jupiter City has always had a tradition of maintaining neutrality, Kaiyuan is now facing a crisis and a war is about to break out. No one can stay out of it, and perhaps their ideas will change." Luo Tian added.
"Your Majesty has considered everything very carefully. I will do it right away," Lorraine said.
After Lorraine left, Luo Tian began to think about the next plan. Although Miguel and Roger had not been caught yet, they still had the upper hand militarily, and it was just around the corner to conquer North Town and West Town.
After the rebellion is over, the biggest challenge facing the Tianwang District is how to ensure its survival in the Kaiyuan crisis. As the weakest star city, it must find a backer. Now there are two choices, the Survival Alliance and the Jupiter District, which requires negotiations. Alliances will inevitably lead to confrontation with non-allies, which involves political games.
At this time, Sharp suddenly sent a message that Elaine and Roger refused to surrender, insisted on continuing the battle, and did not recognize Luo Tian's status as emperor. Martha was a little hesitant, but could not resist Roger's urging and could only express her opposition.
