Chapter 362: Intrigue and Intrigue
"Why did the Holy Revolutionary Army suddenly come out and admit it?"
In the room, Robin looked surprised and was showing the smart terminal to Li Ming.
All mainstream media in the universe are also competing to report on this matter.
Li Ming's eyes flickered, but he was not that surprised.
The Holy Revolutionary Army and the Xingyuan Empire are old enemies. They are now a large underground organization spanning the stars and spreading the seeds of the Holy Revolution everywhere.
Working hard for equality among interstellar races and eliminating all persecution, Li Ming found some customs and cultural inertia of interstellar civilizations outrageous when he accidentally heard about them.
Slaves are a small matter, and the number of people eating their own kind is simply countless. Although this goal sounds big and empty, at least for now, this organization has been practicing their goal.
It originated from the Xingyuan Empire. According to some secret sources, the prototype of the Holy Revolutionary Army was actually a resistance organization funded by the House of Lords and the House of Lords, with the aim of competing for the right to speak from the imperial family.
At one point, a huge revolutionary storm was created within the empire, and the slogan was to overthrow the royal family.
Later, as the voice of the House of Commons and the House of Lords increased, a three-way balance of power was formed. If they continued to provide funding, they would probably be replaced themselves.
Then it became a joint suppression, and the flame of the Holy Revolutionary Army was extinguished. However, in the previous development process, it had already formed a very strong momentum in the interstellar space.
It was the kind of organization that would spring back to life, with its main activities gradually shifting from within the empire and spreading to the entire interstellar space. During this period, it was once defined as a terrorist organization by the Interstellar Alliance and was condemned by everyone.
However, due to some unknown unexpected circumstances, the Holy Revolutionary Army has now been removed from the list of terrorist organizations of the Interstellar Alliance.
Li Ming had previously learned about the general situation from Connet.
In most civilizations, if resistance activities continue despite repeated bans and develop to a certain scale, and if no innocent people are massacred in the process, the Holy Revolutionary Army will take the initiative to contact them and then provide funding.
Among the unofficial organizations, if we talk about who has mobilized the strongest military force, the Holy Revolutionary Army will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt.
However, their power is too scattered and belongs to the spiritual banner. They are suppressed in every civilization and are only a power in terms of data.
More importantly, this is the empire's old enemy, who jumps out to cause trouble every once in a while. The Xingyuan Empire has long been desensitized to it.
If other members of the empire saw the intelligence that the base in the central world was attacked, they might be shocked and concentrate their attention.
If they knew the attackers were the Holy Revolutionary Army, they would probably become lazy again, saying at most, "So it's them. A good beating will make them behave."
It is perfect in that it will not form an overly strong centripetal force within the empire, and can also distribute the blame reasonably.
The only thing that surprised Li Ming was that the power of the pioneers was really everywhere.
Even if the Holy Revolutionary Army is made to take the blame, the Empire's reaction may not be that big, but it will not be non-existent. Will the Empire inevitably pursue the Holy Revolutionary Army for a while?
The damage caused is unlikely to be small. Perhaps one or two S-level life forms will have to be killed before they will stop.
"I don't know how they convinced the Holy Revolutionary Army..." Li Ming pondered, and thought about what he had promised the pioneers, wondering what he was thinking.
Robin looked at him and felt more and more that Boss Qinglong was unfathomable. He could actually let the crazy organization like the Holy Revolutionary Army take the blame for him.
During his years of wandering, he had dealt with this organization before. He could only say that they were a group of lunatics, and lunatics who were not afraid of death.
Li Ming watched the news again. In the past few days, there was a lot of discussion about the attackers, and various inferences emerged one after another. It was suspected that there were at least 800 targets, if not 1,000.
The Holy Revolutionary Army was one of the first suspects.
Qinglong is also on the list. According to some insiders who do not want to be named, Qinglong is a considerable suspect.
But after the Holy Revolutionary Army admitted it, there was no doubt at all. Everyone thought it was reasonable and began to report it.
Many interstellar civilizations felt relieved. The Holy Revolutionary Army had not carried out any external activities for quite some time. Many civilizations suspected that they had been holding back a lot.
Now that the big one has come, and is not targeting me, it is naturally the best.
………
"It's impossible that the Holy Revolutionary Army did it." Diaz said firmly at the meeting, with a very unhappy expression.
Gaint sat in his chair and said nonchalantly, "You're so sure. Could it be that you have a secret connection with the Holy Revolutionary Army? Did they tell you personally?"
Diaz's face darkened. He ignored Gaint and looked at Prince Costat. He said in a deep voice, "If it's the Holy Revolutionary Army, then our intelligence system needs to be completely cleansed from top to bottom. There was no warning at all."
Gaint sneered and did not refute further. He knew that it was most likely not the Holy Revolutionary Army, but he could not guarantee that it was Qinglong.
Even if countless clues point to the other side, what if it was really done by the Holy Revolutionary Army?
Prince Costa ignored Diaz and asked, "How was the interrogation of that Roll?"
The officer next to Jiaint said, "We've screened his memory and confirmed that he's been mind-controlled and has no idea what he's doing."
"We found the person controlling him in the surveillance footage, but he seemed to have suddenly appeared from a blind spot in the surveillance footage, and his physical characteristics don't match anyone in our database."
"Mind control." Prince Costat nodded and specifically reminded, "Remember to comfort him."
The officer nodded. "According to the [Investigation Regulations], soldiers who were innocently investigated due to mind control will be considered second-class merit."
Prince Costat nodded and said, "The more complex the plan, the more loopholes there are. The enemy's plan is simple and crude, so it will be difficult to detect anything in a short period of time."
"The Royal Council is preparing to issue an executive order to eliminate the Holy Revolutionary Army."
The executives sitting at the table looked at each other. Diaz frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to take action against the Holy Revolutionary Army? It would be a waste of energy."
"Or do you want to declare to the outside world that the Holy Revolutionary Army is innocent as the spokesperson of the Empire?" Prince Costat asked in return.
Diaz paused for a moment, but quickly reacted: "Could it be that Qinglong is not a member of the Holy Revolutionary Army?"
"According to the regulations of the Interstellar Alliance Association, members of the Holy Revolutionary Army are not allowed to join organizations such as the Mechanics Association and the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce..." Prince Costat said solemnly.
"It will take some time for these organizations to investigate Qinglong. During this time, are we just going to wait?"
"Besides, can you find Qinglong?"
Diaz frowned, meeting Prince Costa's gaze without fear. "Even so, a Grand Duke has already died. Should we let Qinglong go?"
"Who said we'll let Qinglong go?" Prince Costat shook his head. "The Holy Revolutionary Army is the enemy. Regardless, they're stepping out to help Qinglong relieve his pressure. There must be something fishy going on. It wouldn't be a waste of energy to give them a beating."
"As for Qinglong, he's only a Casting-level mechanic. He can definitely conduct a slow investigation in secret. Besides, Nicholas's life or death is still uncertain."
He had a vague idea in his mind, so he was reluctant to bring Qinglong to the surface, but he was still hesitant about whether to do so.
A forging-star mechanic is still not enough...
What Costat said made sense, but Diaz didn't react at all and sneered in his heart.
It sounds nice, but if it was Satogua who died, Costa would have been furious and wouldn't care about the overall situation.
Diaz even suspected that Costat had no intention of capturing Qinglong at all. After all, the dead person was considered a traitor to the royal family.
"Of course, the most important thing right now..."
"The most important thing right now is the legacy of the Master Hammersmith!" Prince Kostarte was interrupted by a clear and firm voice before he could finish his words.
Prince Costa's eyes flickered, and many high-ranking officials couldn't help but look in his direction. Gaint immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Your Highness Abel."
Others stood up and saluted, including Diaz.
Prince Costat stood up and smiled, turning around and saying, "My most outstanding nephew, you are here at last."
Standing in front of him was a tall and straight young man, wearing a dark purple slim-fitting suit. He had an elegant aristocratic temperament, and his every move exuded an innate calmness.
The neckline of the dress was inlaid with sparkling diamonds, sparkling with a hazy light, the sleeves were embroidered with exquisite gold patterns, and the waist was tied with a silver belt inlaid with precious gems.
"Uncle, you are all welcome. The Holy Emperor sends his greetings to you all." Abel greeted everyone with a gentle smile. Prince Costat turned sideways and motioned him to sit down.
"You are the commander here." Abel shook his head and walked calmly to the audience chair.
"If he doesn't sit, I will." An untimely voice sounded. Prince Costat's eyes were calm as he sat down directly.
Diaz said respectfully, "Your Highness."
The other senior executives then discovered that behind Abel was a middle-aged man with sinister eyes, a hooked nose, and thin lips, who exuded a chilling aura.
Prince Ryan, Nicholas' grandfather.
"Good afternoon, fellow imperial elites."
Prince Ryan was standing next to Costat. They were half-brothers and even had some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.
"Your Highness..." Many senior officials finally woke up from their dreams and saluted.
"An Imperial Grand Duke has died, yet I don't think you're all sad at all." Prince Ryan's gaze fell on the officer beside Gaint, and he smiled gently: "Zed, aren't you sad? It's your brother who died..."
"I...I..." Zed's heart turned cold, tears welled up in his eyes, "Sad, I'm very sad..."
"Heh..." Ryan sneered, but his body suddenly became loose. It was actually a projection, not his real body, that came.
"Your Highness, what did you just say?" Prince Costat looked at Abel with a calm expression.
"The most urgent thing is the legacy of the Hammersmith. Everything else can be put aside." Abel was calm.
Prince Costa nodded: "Then are you confident?"
"Of course." Abel nodded. "It must belong to me."
A hint of hidden heat flashed across the seemingly calm pupils.
The age limit is one hundred years old, and the development potential is fifty levels. In the empire, he is almost the only one who can meet this requirement.
The Hammersmith's legacy is of great importance. If one can obtain his inheritance, he will surely accumulate a lot of reputation and add a strong capital to his fight for the supreme position.
"Will that Li Ming come?" Prince Ryan didn't care that the two people deliberately ignored him and suddenly interrupted.
"Not sure, probably not." Prince Costat did not respond, but other senior officials did not dare to pretend not to hear and spoke cautiously.
"It's better not to come. I will go to the central world myself soon." Prince Ryan forced an ugly smile, his eyes cold.
Many senior executives were shocked.
"This is a secret meeting." Costat frowned and spoke, raising his hand. Ryan's projection disappeared with a sneer.
His eyes swept over Diaz with dissatisfaction.
Gaint said, "A total of five people will participate in the review this time."
"Five?" Abel was a little surprised.
"You, one from the Yongyao Federation, two from the Star Cluster Republican Alliance, and one is the creator of the Divine Craftsman." Gaint said.
"There are actually two Star Cluster Republican Alliances?" Abel was increasingly surprised, and then sighed, "The Sea of Stars is becoming increasingly prosperous."
The number and quality of civilizations in the Sea of Stars are the highest in the interstellar space. If their overall strength were combined, they would probably be considered the strongest in the interstellar space.
Unfortunately... there are too many civilizations and the power is too dispersed.
Costat casually tossed it aside, "This is the latest information. The creator of the Divine Craftsman is confidential, and there is no information."
Abel's expression was slightly serious. He read very carefully, taking every word into his mind.
………
Soon, the Empire issued a stern statement that it would crack down on all activities of the Holy Revolutionary Army at all costs in the coming period.
Many interstellar civilizations just treat it as a joke. This is not the first time that such a statement has been issued. Almost every major civilization has issued one. Anyway, they cannot be defeated and will make a comeback again and again.
Before one wave subsides, another wave arises.
Within just a few days after the Empire's statement was issued, secret news was once again leaked from the Central World, still from an insider who did not want to reveal his name.
It is claimed that the Interstellar Alliance has reached an agreement with the Holy Elephant of Domination to send specific people within a specific time period for the Holy Elephant of Domination to select.
"...The Xingyuan Empire, the Yongyao Federation, and the Star Cluster Republican Alliance have jointly issued a final ultimatum to the Ruling Holy Elephant, demanding that a successor be chosen from among these people, otherwise they will forcibly dismember him..."
Li Ming was amazed. "Why does this leaker seem to be hiding under the conference table?"
"This is too shameless." Robin cursed, his face flushed. "Sending a few people there without permission, you don't even have the dignity to do it."
It’s no wonder he was so angry. Who wouldn’t have some thoughts about the legacy of the Hammersmith?
Although I know that even if I try, I will most likely be rejected by the Holy Elephant, but it is too much not to even give me a chance to try.
This news caused a huge reaction. The attack on the imperial base was just for fun, but this time it was tantamount to oppression by force.
