Chapter 675 Eternal Interest (1)
Rockefeller Empire, Mitvik Star Domain.
In the Imperial Palace's Chamber Hall, the leader of the Yanwei advance troops, the high priest Jarnagust, was meeting with the newly ascended Emperor Wig, and Queen Annabel was sitting beside him. In addition, the imperial prime minister Strogen was also present.
"Dear Emperor, I have brought the friendship and kindness of our patriarch and the Tianyu Temple. The great Yanwei clan is willing to form the closest ally with the Rockefeller Empire! He is also willing to use our clan's power to help you quell civil strife! As long as your empire can give our clan a tribe a tribe's slight reward!"
Janagust put his snake body on the throne and said to Wigg on the throne with a smile.
The emperor looked at the queen beside him before turning his face to Janagust:
"Dear High Priest, the Rockefeller Empire thanked the great Yanwei clan for their friendly help to the empire. However, many of the terms of the contract you have formulated are too harsh, which is something that the empire's national strength cannot bear! So, should we discuss it again?"
The high priest's colorful, thick and long snake tail gently swung it a few times, and a low and inexplicable laughter came out from his mouth:
"Dear Emperor, your Majesty, maybe you feel you are at a disadvantage, right? But you don't think about how much your empire can get from us? I heard that your brother, Prince Aden, has already established himself as the emperor in the northern part of the empire and has gathered a considerable number of forces! So far, the star fields controlled by it have exceeded 300!"
"Even the Council of Elders of our clan has to admit that your brother is indeed more suitable for leading this empire! However, we still choose to support you as the master of this empire and are willing to help you erase the Your Highness who posed a fatal threat to your throne. Is this sincerity not enough for you to make a decision?"
Wigg had no words, Prime Minister Strogen coughed and said slowly:
"We are very grateful for your willingness to help the empire quell the rebellion! We are also willing to give you corresponding rewards within your ability. However, your requests are indeed too many. Even if our Majesty signs such a contract, it will not be approved in the Cabinet and Parliament, and it will not be accepted by the empire's trillions of people! Therefore, I hope you can understand our difficulties!"
Janagust's face couldn't help but sneered, "So, Your Majesty the Emperor is not going to form an alliance with us? Since that's the case, I feel very sorry! We came with enough sincerity, but were ruthlessly rejected by your country!"
"Your Majesty, maybe you don't know the real details of the decision-making of the Elders' Council? I can tell you now that you only have one more vote than your brother, just one vote! Two of the three guardian saints in the Tianyu Temple are optimistic about His Highness Aden. You should understand what this means!"
The High Priest is not polite at all, the implicit meaning is: It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree to cooperate, we will naturally find someone who is willing to cooperate with us! However, this is not good news for you!
Wigg's face suddenly turned red, as if he wanted to have an attack, but considering the other party's identity and status, he still didn't dare to take action. He just tried to say tactfully:
"Dear High Priest, is there no room for negotiation in matters? We believe in the strength of the great Yanwei clan and are willing to reach a long-term alliance with you. However, you should also understand that such terms are beyond the empire's ability to bear!"
"Not mentioning anything else, 50% of the annual fiscal revenue of the empire must be converted into source crystals and paid to you free of charge is enough to collapse the empire's economy! There are also various rare resources that the empire has to pay tribute to you every year, and the amount is too large, accounting for almost 40% of the empire's annual output. This is simply an unfinished task!"
Speaking of this, Queen Annabel smiled and said:
"Dear High Priest, we do not doubt your determination. If we do not cooperate, you will likely turn around and find His Highness Aden! However, I have to regret to remind you that with his talents and ambitions, he will not agree to such a disgraceful clause!"
"Of course, we also know that in the entire human world, you have many candidates to choose, but as long as you have a little bit of ambitions, it is impossible for people with a little bit of intelligence to agree to such terms! Because once you agree, his rule will be completely over! Even with your support is no exception!"
"We really want to cooperate with you for a long time, so I think we should sit down and have a good talk and try to reach an agreement that can be accepted by each other! In the face of common interests, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated, what do you think?"
The queen means that if you want so many benefits, we can't consider it, but you obviously don't have enough chips. Any transaction must always pay attention to the principle of equality! No matter what, you can't let us suffer too much, right?
The high priest's narrow and evil eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Annabel for a while before nodding slowly:
"Your opinion does make some sense! Originally, I planned to help you quell the civil strife first and then discuss the next cooperation! Since that's the case, let's tell you the trump card now!"
"The Council of Elders has decided to fully support the Rockefeller Empire and unify the entire southwest star sea! As long as you are willing, the three major powers in this starry sky, plus the numerous small and medium-sized countries, will be unified under your country's banner within one year!"
Wigg was startled, and then unconcealed ecstasy appeared in his eyes! Even the queen and the prime minister almost lost their composure on the spot.
They had heard of such news before, but it was confirmed by senior officials of the Yanwei clan that the significance of this is of course different! Although the Rockefeller Empire was once the second largest superpower in the human world, the emperor of an empire is obviously incomparable to the co-lord of the entire Southwest Star Sea Eight Thousand Star Domain!
Janagust looked at the other party's reaction with satisfaction and announced proudly:
"As long as you can sign a contract and form a true allies with our clan, you will become the masters of the entire Southwest Star Sea! In comparison, you have much more benefits than what we ask for!"
"Now, do you still find such a clause difficult to accept?"
Annabel took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down before saying, "If this is the case, then you can consider accepting this contract with your Excellency High Priest! But before this, I have two problems, and you need to give a clear answer!"
"You said!" the high priest said calmly.
"First, we need to see the head of the empire rebelling against Aden, or a living person, and you have to promise that you can only support us to become the masters of the southwest star sea in the future; second, the army of the Starlight Empire has invaded the territory of the Tiloya Empire, and the two armies have occupied hundreds of star domains, so we want to know how you can deal with the threat of this empire?"
Janagus nodded and said, "The first question, I can tell you clearly that at most one month, His Highness Yadon's head can be delivered to you! As for the second question, the strength of the Star Light Empire may be considered powerful in the human world, but in our opinion, it is nothing at all!"
"In a month, the main legion of our clan will arrive. At that time, we can assist your country and wipe out all enemies in the southwest star sea, including the army of His Majesty Yun Haoyu. Even if they have the support of the Bojiang Empire, it is no exception! Don't worry!"
"Since that's the case, we can discuss signing the contract!" Annabel said with satisfaction.
Tiloya Empire, the Bomulai Star Domain.
Deep in the towering and strict imperial palace, Emperor Ferossi on the sickbed slowly opened his eyes and called out hoarsely: "Sheria..."
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" The queen, who was sitting silently and dazed, quickly got up and leaned over.
The old emperor's turbid and godless pupils reflected the charming and charming face of the young queen.
He smiled with difficulty and asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"
Shirlia turned her head and looked at the antique wall clock on the distant wall, and whispered: "It's been two days and one night!"
"Two days and one night... it's a long time..." Emperor Ferossi murmured, "That army of His Majesty must have occupied a lot of new star fields, right?"
"Your Majesty, you..." Shirley looked at him worriedly, trying to comfort him, but he stopped him with his eyes.
Even though he was already old, the emperor still had his own pride and majesty. He didn't need those cheap comfort and sympathy!
I remember when I was young, I was like that young man ascended the throne, and was full of energy. I led the imperial army to fight against the star sea and compete with foreign civilizations for survival! The attack is pointed at by the enemy, and the battle is invincible!
However, no matter how great a king is, he cannot withstand the erosion of time! Time is the most invincible enemy! Emperor Ferossius was a heroic and powerful person for his lifetime, but unexpectedly he encountered the danger of his country's destruction in his later years!
Just two days ago, when he learned that the Shalang-shark star field, an important northern town in the empire, was captured by the Starlight Empire army, exhausted Ferosis immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma, and he did not wake up until now.
"Help me sit up," he said.
With the help of the queen, he slowly got off the bed and walked towards the palace gate with a staggering pace.
Outside the bedroom gate, it was already evening. The sun was hanging low in the sky, and the sky was filled with golden rays of light, which made people feel warm.
The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it is almost dusk!
On the other end, some bright stars have begun to appear and emit a faint starry light.
Emperor Ferossius stared at all this in a daze, and a feeling of sadness appeared in his heart for no reason, and turbid tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
This scene in front of him is a true portrayal of him, which also indicates that this empire has not been long! The young emperor at the other end of the Star Sea led a fleet of tens of millions of ships to head south in just over a month, and had already entered the hinterland of the empire!
Perhaps, it won’t take long to see the situation of the troops coming to the city!
If that day really comes soon, where should I go?
