Luo Tian asked Rubin to take part of the army to support Sharp, believing that they could soon break through West Town and annihilate all enemies. But the information Rubin just provided made him a little worried. If MiG really arrived in West Town by spaceship and picked up Roger and the others to escape from the Tianwang District, there was really no way to stop him at present.
At this time, the system prompt sounded, and Luo Tian saw that it was Martha who replied to the message: You can contact me. Maybe Martha can be used to contain Roger. Thinking of this, he called Martha.
"What do you want from me?" Martha asked warily.
"Now my army has surrounded you, you should know the consequences of failure. But considering your past friendship with my father, and you have always taken good care of me, I want to leave you a way to survive." Luo Tian said.
"You can tell me about it," said Martha.
"Open rebellion is a capital crime. I know Elaine and Roger are with you. If you can persuade them to surrender, I will consider making amends and no longer pursuing your responsibility. West Town can also continue to be managed by the Maren family. How about it?" In order to successfully capture Elaine, Roger and others, Luo Tian made great concessions to Martha, which meant that she would not be punished in any way.
Martha was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I admit that your conditions are very tempting. But you also know that I don't want to rebel. I was completely coerced by Elaine, Roger and Miguel. What can I do as a woman? I know that if I follow Roger to rebel, I will surely die if I fail. But if I don't support Roger, I can't talk to you here now. Do you understand what I mean?"
Of course Luo Tian understood the implication of her words, which was nothing more than an attempt to distance herself from Roger's rebellion and deny her crimes in the hope of getting a higher price.
"Then tell me, as long as you can hand over Elaine, Roger, Roy and Rosa to me, everything will be fine." Luo Tian wanted to hear what conditions Martha would offer.
"You know these people are very important. It's true that we are doomed to fail in the current situation. But if Elaine runs away with the children and lives in exile outside, it will be very disadvantageous to you. If I do this, I will definitely take a big risk, and I may even be killed by Roger." Martha said.
"I understand, that's why I came to discuss this with you. I can agree to anything as long as it's within my ability." Luo Tian said.
"I'm not a power-hungry person, and I don't have that ability. For me, it's important to continue the Maren family's rule in West Town from generation to generation, and I want to continue to be in charge of the finances of Uranus City." Martha said.
"I can promise you all of these, no problem." Luo Tian knew that West Town needed someone to take care of it anyway. Martha knew this place very well. Although she participated in the rebellion, it would be worth it as long as she could help him catch Roger and his gang.
"In addition, you must agree to an alliance with my Maren family, that is, marry my youngest daughter Mary and appoint her as queen, ensuring that my status is above other nobles, while retaining my power to recruit and maintain the army." Martha said.
Luo Tian thought about Martha's idea. Her eldest daughter Mana would definitely have no future if she married Roger. Even if she could be acquitted, she would still be labeled a traitor and could not hold her head up in front of other nobles. But if her youngest daughter Mary could become the queen, it would be different. Martha would immediately become the emperor's mother-in-law, and no one would dare to act arrogantly in front of her.
But Luo Tian also knew that if he did so, he would undoubtedly offend Rubin, who had made great contributions in this rebellion, and would make others think that he was a person without principles and bottom line. If so, even if he caught Elaine and Roger's group, he would lose the popular support for ruling, and cultivate Martha's power, which might make him another enemy.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to the condition you mentioned. I can't let your daughter be the queen, and I can't allow your status to be higher than other nobles. As for allowing Xizhen to retain its army, I can consider it. This is the only concession I can make." Luo Tian said.
This time it was Martha's turn to be conflicted. From her heart, she had never thought of rebellion. If Elaine and Roger had not actually controlled West Town, she would have surrendered long ago. Maybe she had the ambition to bet on Roger to become the emperor before, but the current situation was undoubtedly a foregone conclusion. Elaine and Roger could escape to other districts, after all, they were still useful, but if she left West Town, she would definitely live a miserable life. She didn't want the century-old foundation of the Maren family to be destroyed by Roger.
Martha finally made up her mind and decided to cooperate with Luo Tian, so she said, "I can cooperate with you, but you have to keep your word."
Hearing this, Luo Tian was overjoyed, but he tried to keep himself calm: "As the emperor, I will definitely keep my word."
"It's difficult to persuade Elaine and Roger to surrender, and Roger has already made up his mind to become the emperor. He is not afraid of death at all. And Miguel has sent a message that he is flying a spaceship towards West Town. If West Town falls, Elaine will take her three children and flee to the Saturn area with Miguel." Martha reported.
"If that's the case, I need you to cooperate with me to capture Elaine and Roger's gang. Of course, it would be even better if we could capture Miguel. So you have to tell me the location of Roger and the others, and at the same time help me to restrain them from leaving immediately. I will take action directly after I arrive." Luo Tian said.
"Okay, I'll try my best to cooperate." Martha replied, "I won't say much, let's communicate via text if there's anything."
Luo Tian immediately summoned Ice Monkey and Jim, and rushed to West Town with the guards. At this time, Martha had sent the location of Elaine and Roger. After getting the location, he ordered the guards to speed up the speed of the flying car and fly straight to West Town.
