Chapter 378 Abel’s evil path
Glancing at Robin, he was still reading the news out of boredom.
Li Ming got up and returned to his room. On the smart terminal page, the scene of trying to establish a communication connection was displayed.
He put down the smart terminal casually, thinking that Abel would not be able to get through at the first time. Who would have thought that as soon as he put down the smart terminal, Abel's voice came to his ears:
"Your Excellency Li Ming..."
Li Ming was slightly surprised, "Your Highness happened to be browsing the Black Hole Network."
"I'm reading some dark side information." Abel said helplessly: "I just discovered today that the enemies of the empire are really endless."
He had basically never had much contact with this aspect of things before, and had never left the empire. On the limited occasions, no matter where he went, he was always a respectful life form.
Although I knew in my heart that many civilizations were forced by the power of the empire, I never expected that if there was a real crisis, so many enemies would emerge.
This period of time felt a bit like being pushed down by others, which really made him very uncomfortable.
Then you discovered it too late, Li Ming muttered. The secret communication between him and Abel started within two or three days after leaving the central world.
At first, Abel was just grateful for his life-saving grace, and then chatted about some things and exchanged some superficial information.
For example, Li Ming had already known about Prince Ruian's departure, so he dared to have fun.
There are also coordinates for several S-level dimensional worlds, which were also given by Abel. Those dimensional worlds are all worlds that are difficult to conquer and the resources in them are not very precious.
So they were left alone. After many trials and information exchanges, the two of them established initial trust.
"Is the closed-door meeting of the Royal Council over yet?" Li Ming asked.
"Not yet, it's been more than ten days, and no one can convince anyone." Abel's tone was very helpless, and he said, "Then the upper and lower houses have reached this level, and they are still afraid that they will let it go." Excessive benefits will make the royal family strong again.”
Li Ming shook his head silently, this is the troublesome part once party strife breaks out.
Even when faced with a huge external crisis, the first thing I think about is - why should I give up the benefits? Will the other party take the opportunity to suppress me?
Didn't Abel still stand on the royal side and accuse the upper and lower houses, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother?
Li Ming said a few words in agreement, and Abel turned to hate and said: "Prince Costart has ordered Diaz to leave the central world for the third time, but this guy just refuses to leave."
Shortly after Li Ming left the hub world, Prince Costat and Prince Ryan also left one after another, leaving only Gaint and Diaz guarding here.
Normally, Gaint was the only defender, but Diaz shamelessly stayed behind.
In fact, this is a disguised intervention in the dimensional world.
The dimensional world has always been the back garden of the royal family. The reason is the existence of the Terrax civilization. The royal family has invested considerable power here from the beginning.
The House of Lords and the House of Commons have coveted it many times, and this time they finally have a legitimate reason to intervene, so naturally they cannot let it go easily.
"Diaz hasn't left yet..." Li Ming was a little surprised, and also surprised by the empire's internal struggle.
"No..." On the other side of the screen, Abel shook his head and said in a low voice, "But it's coming soon. The upper and lower houses intend to send someone to replace him in rotation, so that he will stay for a long time. He will not leave until the person who replaces him arrives."
"It is said that after he leaves, he will be ordered to investigate your Mechanical Royal Court."
Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly, Costa intended to use Qinglong as an entry point to investigate the forces hidden in the dark.
But not everyone agrees. There are also hard-liners who believe that being too soft is not enough at this stage. A tough stance is needed to shock the stars.
Ryan is clearly one of the hardliners.
"Sir Rui En, you are really tough. You just do things without considering the consequences." Li Ming sighed and hinted, "Then I might be in trouble. I hope there is a way to prevent this from happening."
There was obvious struggle and hesitation in Abel's eyes, but when he thought of Ryan, the fear of facing death that day came over again like a tide. Abel said in a deep voice:
"The latest news, he claimed to have discovered a group of secretly operating Holy Revolutionary Army in the dimension world, and he is preparing to lead people to ambush..."
"Oh?" Li Ming was slightly surprised, and then grinned silently. His Highness finally took the first step.
"Really?" Li Ming said in surprise, "Is the news confirmed? It can't be a trap by the Holy Revolutionary Army."
"I don't know." Abel's eyes were dark, "I just want you to help analyze it."
The smart terminal vibrated slightly, and several pieces of data were sent over. Li Ming clicked on it and found the itinerary plan and destination address.
"I don't know anything about these, I can only say research." Li Ming evaded again and again.
The two chatted for a while before ending the communication. The virtual screen in front of them disappeared, and Abel's slightly twisted cheeks were reflected on the smooth smart terminal panel.
He was startled and hurriedly restrained himself. Recalling what he had just done, he felt vaguely regretful.
I am the son of the Holy Emperor, how could I betray the secrets of the empire...
No, you can't blame me. Diaz refuses to leave, and the royal family has no time to deal with him. If he really takes root in the central world, it will be troublesome.
Besides, I just want Li Ming to notify the Holy Revolutionary Army in advance that his ambush failed this time, so that I can find a reason to launch an attack and let him disappear without a trace.
Besides, the empire would not collapse because of such a trivial matter. It didn't matter at all. Abel found many reasons to convince himself.
His expression finally calmed down, and he was determined that it was just this once.
"Hesitation, hesitation, regret... maybe a little scared?" Li Ming rubbed his chin, guessing Abel's mentality.
He was very familiar with this kind of psychology. His old friend Fred had also gone through this kind of journey.
The difference is that there are many people above Ford, so he faces threats. He had to compromise. There was no one above Abel's head.
It's not easy to lure him into the water, but the benefits gained are also extremely high.
This path of evil has already begun.
"Once you get on the boat, you won't be able to get off." Li Ming looked at the information Abel gave him. He didn't know if this was the first time Abel betrayed one of his own people. He wasn't very familiar with it, so the information he gave him was sufficient.
The departure time, sailing distance, number of people and scale of the operation are all minute and detailed.
This eliminated the possibility of decoy. The entire voyage lasted more than half a month and passed through more than five to six thousand dimensional worlds.
The Empire can't hide its power all the way.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Ming's eyes flickered, "Is it just to make the ambush fail?" "Diaz..." He stood up suddenly, his eyes cold, "Then let's collect some interest first."
After walking out of the room, Robin glanced at him and said: "The nearest public dimension station is the pioneering point of the Movis Star Cluster, which has a passage to the main universe."
"Don't go yet, I have to do something." Li Ming said, and then adjusted the coordinates of the spacecraft. Robin was a little surprised, but he was used to it.
………
Two months after Polk's declaration, due to too much information about the incident, the popularity has not diminished, but has become more detailed.
In the sea of stars, the tide of resistance against the imperial garrisons is growing. These garrisons are nominally to protect the safety of small civilizations.
But actually. It is the bridgehead for the empire to encroach on the sea of stars.
At the same time, the military expenses of these bases are still provided by the small civilizations stationed there, and no one will deliberately publicize them on weekdays.
But in this stall, driven by well-intentioned people, the situation has become more and more intense. Protests and resistance activities have continued, and various deeds of garrison troops oppressing local civilized citizens have emerged one after another.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world continues, but a secret fleet has already set off from the hub world. In the luxurious development room of the ship, Diaz is suspended in mid-air, with a shimmering light all over his body.
A wave of energy was rising in his body, impacting every cell of his body one after another. His body was trembling slightly, and his muscles and bones were making cracking sounds under the impact of this energy.
After a while, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, the light dimmed, and his body returned to normal.
Falling from mid-air and walking out of the development room, the apparent commander-in-chief of this operation was already waiting. He was a middle-aged man with a respectful expression.
After looking at the news, Diaz said solemnly: "The farce of this group of small civilizations is still going on. They are really desperate. If it weren't for the imperial garrison, they would have been wiped out by the nearby civilizations."
The commander also echoed, "If it weren't for the group of terrorists under the banner of revolution, these small civilizations would not dare to resist, and they would dare to rebuke Prince Ryan."
"When the empire really takes action, they won't be able to stand still for a few days."
Hearing what the commander said, Diaz was dissatisfied, "Don't take it lightly. The Holy Revolutionary Army has been active for so long and has not been wiped out. Is this something you can look down upon?"
The commander repeatedly said yes, and Diaz took another piece of information, lowered his head and glanced at it a few times, with an ugly expression on his face: "The expansion trend of this Mechanical Royal Court has not stopped yet?"
The commander said helplessly: "After the incident in the central world, the identity of Qinglong's master craftsman spread. In just two months, the scale more than doubled..."
"We are all afraid of the master craftsman Qinglong, but no one cares about the majesty of His Highness the Prince?" Diaz was very dissatisfied, "It's just an organization under Li Ming, and it's flattering like this."
"After this is over and someone comes to replace me, I have to go take a closer look."
The commander said helplessly: "Prince Costart gave an order not to attack this organization."
Diaz thought of Prince Costart's plan, frowned and said coldly: "Prince Costart has his plan, and Prince Ryan also has his own plan."
"Okay, show me the information we obtained about the Holy Revolutionary Army before..."
But before he finished speaking, the ship's hull shook suddenly and stopped suddenly.
Bang!
The staff present were staggered by the inertia, and some fell directly to the ground.
"What's going on?" The commander held the table and shouted loudly.
An operator soon responded with a look of horror.
"Sir, the regional gravity has increased by a thousand times." The crew's voice was full of panic and panic, "The shield field is about to collapse."
"Enemy attack?!" the commander was furious, "How dare you attack the imperial troops! Activate the early warning plan!"
The operators quickly returned to work, sweating profusely while operating. Due to the special nature of the dimensional world, it was difficult to build an external communication network in a short time and could not contact the outside world.
Diaz turned his head and looked out the porthole. They stopped in a dark dimensional world.
"Who is ambushing me?" Diaz was surprised, "The itinerary plan should be top secret, and only a handful of people know about it."
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and endless light shone in the darkness. The light was so brilliant that it was like countless stars exploding at the same time.
The next moment, the torrential rain of light poured down crazily, penetrating the formation of the imperial fleet with a devastating force, ruthlessly piercing the hull like the scythe of death.
The thick outer armor was instantly twisted and torn under this powerful impact, emitting a tooth-breaking metal scream.
Ships exploded in the blink of an eye, turning into balls of blazing fire, blooming into gorgeous but desperate flowers of death.
The powerful energy shock wave spread in all directions, causing ripples in space one after another. Broken parts and debris scattered like meteors.
Blurred lights and shadows shuttled through the black fog, tearing apart all the remaining battleships.
Whoosh!
Diaz's face was ashen, and he rushed out of the explosion, his whole body covered in black scales. Looking at the fleet that turned into wreckage in the blink of an eye, he felt horrified and angry.
The one who takes action must be an S-level life form, and not an ordinary S-level life form.
His pupils condensed slightly and turned black, and his whole body quickly expanded to nearly ten meters. His head was like a ferocious dragon's head, with dark beast pupils. His whole body was covered with black scales, like carefully crafted metal armor, each piece shimmering with a cold ghost. Light.
The black light flowed between the scales, forming a surging flame. The surrounding air was instantly ignited, making a crackling explosion, with the aura of destroying everything.
Diaz looked around, trying to find traces of the enemy, but suddenly felt a terrible threat coming towards him,
His pupils suddenly shrank, and a pair of mechanical iron fists magnified infinitely in his eyes with an unstoppable force.
Boom!
The majestic force came suddenly, like a star striking. The seemingly indestructible black scales were like fragile paper in front of this force.
The fragments of scales scattered like black meteors, shining with a cold light of despair under the light.
Diaz felt that his body was overwhelmed, and his tendons snapped one after another, making a creepy "snap" sound.
The bones cracked one after another, and the crisp cracking sound was particularly harsh in the silence.
Severe pain surged like a tide, sweeping through every nerve in his body instantly, as if countless sharp knives were churning crazily in his body, causing his consciousness to almost fall into chaos. Every cell is wailing.
"It's...you!?"
The moment Diaz saw the mechanical iron fist, he recognized the identity of the attacker, Li Ming!
"Are you surprised?" The Machine King rushed out of the black mist, tore out a wave of air, and punched Diaz hard and hard, making the whole body dent like mud.
After two punches, he was seriously injured. Diaz was breathless, almost speechless, and his pupils were trembling.
There is only one thought in my mind, there is really a traitor among the high-level officials! ?
