Chapter 297
The high command of the interstellar empire held one emergency meeting after another.
It's best to avoid fighting if possible!
But if a fight breaks out, how should they respond? Is there any chance of them winning?
To what extent has the technology of the mermaid civilization developed?
In the end, the imperial leadership reached a consensus to wait and see.
But now that the invitation has been sent, the reception procedures must not be taken lightly, and the empire's defenses must be strengthened.
Just when the imperial government and military were in a state of chaos, the royal family and nobles started causing trouble again!
Terrified and uncertain, they were terrified that the mermaids had come for revenge, so they relentlessly demanded that the military protect them during their evacuation, which meant they had to run away!
It's no wonder these useless, trouble-making parasites are so panicked, because in earlier years, these scumbags weren't exposed for a scandal involving the abuse of mermaids.
Later, amidst widespread protests and condemnation, the mastermind was severely punished, and only then did the royal family and nobles cease their actions and dare not harm mermaids again.
But even the government cannot be completely foolproof, not to mention that many of the high-ranking officials are puppets and spies of the royal family and nobility.
Mermaid genes have been leaked before, and those vicious space pirates who will stop at nothing for money and resources have been cloning mermaids, forming a criminal industry chain.
Ironically, the biggest customers of the mermaids in the hands of the space pirates were the imperial royal family and nobility.
They no longer dared to touch the registered mermaids in the Empire, but they were unscrupulous in dealing with the unregistered mermaids in the hands of space pirates.
Once, an imperial army wiped out a group of space pirates and discovered mermaids being treated as commodities in their lair; their miserable plight was truly shocking.
Over the years, the Interstellar Empire has been cracking down on these black markets and has strictly prohibited royal families and nobles from participating in these illicit transactions. However, driven by profit, greed has led those villains to disregard the law and take risks.
The royal family and nobility, in particular, have repeatedly failed to learn their lesson.
This has led to the persistent problem of the mermaid black market!
As a result, now things have turned out differently. The mermaid race has finally been angered and is going to settle accounts with them. Will humanity have to pay a heavy price for its greed?
Those truly responsible high-ranking officials of the empire were deeply worried, for it was ultimately the ordinary people who suffered in the war.
But it was clearly those royal nobles who committed the atrocities!
Do they still want to run away?
Dream on!
Enjoying the empire's best resources, yet unwilling to advance and retreat with the empire—where in the world is there such a good thing?
While the imperial leadership suppressed the noble forces and closely prepared for war, they also carried out a major purge of the empire, especially targeting the mermaid black market, which was eradicated with even greater force.
Damn it, if the merfolk really see this merfolk black market, war will probably break out even if it doesn't happen.
The royal family and nobility initially had strong opinions, and they kept jumping around and hindering the process.
However, just over a month ago, human probes had already detected the army of mermaids...
Those enormous spaceships and terrifyingly vast mecha armies, like ancient reapers, coldly and domineeringly crushed towards the human planetary territory.
Even more terrifying is that the detectors that humans call invisible were captured by the mermaids as soon as they appeared.
A black mech circled around it once, then switched to combat mode, instantly turning all the surrounding meteorites into dust, before casually letting it go without destroying it.
A definite show of force!
But the mermaid mech's terrifying combat power did indeed intimidate the humans.
Military weapons experts analyzed that even the most advanced generation of combat mechs, piloted by the best mech warriors, would likely have little chance of winning against the mermaid mechs.
Humanity has very few of the best combat mechs and warriors, but the mermaid mechs are an entire army!
How do we fight this?
Meanwhile, Beryl, who had been missing for more than half a year, made contact with the imperial high command.
He told the imperial high command that the mermaids were only visiting and had no intention of starting a war.
The imperial high command wiped away their cold sweat and breathed a huge sigh of relief, but then their tension immediately returned.
Xiao Bai, tell me properly, what do you mean by "temporary"?
Bai Ruiwen: Uh, because it all depends on the Mermaid King's mood!
The Empire's High Command: The Mermaid King?
Beryl solemnly reminded them: The Mermaid King is the most powerful ruler of the Mermaid Empire. He can no longer be defined as a living being of flesh and blood in the universe, but is a terrifying being close to a god.
The imperial high command was dumbfounded. A god?
Isn't this something that only exists in myths?
Could it be that there really are divine civilizations in the universe?
That's terrifying!
Bai Ruiwen couldn't answer them either, but he warned them with utmost caution: His Majesty the Mermaid King is unpredictable, do not provoke him, never provoke him!
That guy is the kind of person who would wipe out his own race if he disagreed with someone, so wiping out human civilization would just depend on his mood.
The imperial high command: "..."
My legs went weak!
Why did His Majesty the Mermaid King suddenly decide to come to their human territory?
Was it something about their human planet that attracted him?
He said, "Can't they change?"
Of course, they only dared to think it in their hearts. If the big shots came, would they be courting death if they didn't entertain them?
Bai Ruiwen was a little speechless, and then dropped another bombshell on them: His Majesty the Mermaid King came to the human planet not because he had taken a fancy to any humans, oh no, he just married a human woman.
The imperial high command: Oh, so it's about marrying one of their human women... What? What? Which heroine was it again?
Pravin: ...Princess Diana!
The imperial high command froze: Xiao Bai, say it again, who?
The royal princess who disappeared for over ten years and only returned a couple of years ago?
Holy crap!
Did they know that King Abel disliked this daughter? Of course they did!
Did they know that the little princess didn't enjoy any royal life after returning to the imperial planet, but was instead bullied at every turn? Of course they knew!
However, this was a matter of royal family affairs. No matter how much they thought the royal family was awful, or how much they sympathized with the little princess, they could not and would not interfere.
In the past, they all thought that the little princess's life would be like this forever, that it would be difficult for her to turn her life around, and that she would be tormented to death by the royal family sooner or later.
Who knew that, in the blink of an eye, the more wretched she was when she left, the more glamorous she is now when she returns!
That little princess whom no one had high hopes for actually captured the heart of the most mysterious and unpredictable mermaid king in the universe? And she even married him and became the queen of an advanced mermaid civilization?
Hiss~~
There's a saying, "Never underestimate a young person's potential."
That little princess is truly amazing!
I wonder what the royal family's reaction will be when they find out?
They're probably going to regret it and cry, right?
