Carol rolled a long way in the violent bumps, his forehead hit the pillar with a bang, and blood flowed profusely.

"What's going on?" The officer shouted loudly.Soldiers ran around in a panic in the ship.

"Sir, the warship's propulsion system has malfunctioned...it is descending at an accelerated rate!"

"hurry up--"

Before the words fell, the warship tilted sharply and turned over 40 degrees to one side.Everyone was dizzy for a while.Anyone who wasn't seated in their seats rolled like potatoes and huddled into a pile.

Yi'an sat firmly in the chair, with a calm face, a pair of dark eyes, as if he was looking at another world.

The system siren exploded, piercing everyone's eardrums.

"Sir, we're turning—we're heading for number three!"

The sirens became short and rapid, and a whip whipped everyone's scalps.

"Collision warning—collision warning—" the female voice of the system sounded.

All three warships were passing through the atmosphere, descending rapidly.The violent friction made them all covered with pale golden flames, like three meteorites.And one of the warships was obviously in a wrong state, and was speeding towards the other warship!

No one cared about Ian anymore.All the officers and soldiers on the warship turned around like a nest of exploded hornets.

"Sir, there are hackers!"

"Switch to manual operation! Turn off computer navigation—" the officer roared.

Carol wiped the blood all over his face, got up from the ground, looked up and saw Ian in a state of meditation.This young man is out of tune with everything around him, completely immersed in his own world.

Carol suddenly realized, and rushed towards Ian.

"You bitch, what did you do—"

A mechanical attendant fixed to the corner suddenly started, flew over, and knocked Carol into the air with a bang.

"Collision warning—" the system said, "There are still 500 meters—450 meters—"

At the critical moment, the soldiers rushed into the computer room and pressed the emergency button.The system autopilot system is switched off.

Under the manual operation of the captain, the warship finally turned around and passed another warship, avoiding the devastating impact.

The automatic piloting system was turned off, and at the same time cut off the contact between the starship operation and the main station on the ground.At the same moment, Guang Ji quickly invaded and took this starship into his hands!

With a click, Ian unbuckled his seat belt and stood up.

Carol struggled to get up from the ground and yelled, "Stop him—don't let him get away!"

The officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a puzzled look on his face.

Bishop Mitchell is in a warship full of soldiers, and the warship is thousands of miles high in the sky. Where can he go?

However, Ian's next move gave everyone a resounding slap in the face.

As if there was a gust of wind passing through the spacious central cabin of the warship, all the mechanical servants started one after another, broke away from the fixing device, the mecha opened in an unmanned state, and the machine gun popped out...

All the officers and soldiers were stunned, looking at what happened around them in disbelief, as if this was the miracle of the Holy Lord.

"Stop him—" Carol yelled at Ian.

An advanced mecha jumped down from a height.Ian quickly ran towards it.

A soldier pulled out his gun in a daze, aimed at Ian's back and fired a burst.

The light bullet passed through the black robe with a whoosh, and Ian fell forward to the ground.

"Idiot!" Carol pushed the soldier down, "Do you want to kill the Son?"

Ian clutched his waist and stood up staggeringly, his face pale.

The mecha flew in front of him, opened the cockpit, and took him in.

"What the hell is the No. [-] ship doing?" The officer leading the team on the No. [-] ship, which escaped the fatal collision, was furious.

"Sir, the No. [-] ship is in trouble, we can't get in touch with them effectively!" The correspondent said nervously, "They suddenly started to slow down again, and changed their flight trajectory again—they seem to be turning around!"

The No. [-] ship channel in the communication is filled with messy and indistinct voices.

The crackling sound of electromagnetic interference, the sound of people shouting, the sound of firefighting...

"No. [-] ship! What did you encounter? Please answer—" the officer called anxiously.

"...Holy Lord—" the other party uttered a broken cry.

"He activated..."

"...we can't stop him..."

"All the mechs have gone berserk...under control...my lord..."

"Everything is out of control!"

"An accident happened to the No. [-] ship!" The officer said decisively, "Notify the headquarters, and immediately turn on the remote control to let them make an emergency landing."

"The No. [-] ship cannot be controlled remotely! They turned off the computer navigation system just now! The network is interrupted, and even the main station on the ground cannot control them."

The officer yelled.

"Do you want to block the No. [-] ship by force?"

"Force force!" The officer jumped violently, "It's all our own people!"

"Sir! The second ship has moved again!"

The second ship turned its navigation direction by 180 degrees, and then opened the gate at the bottom.Groups of soldiers in light armor were poured out like garbage and fell into the sky.

Everyone on ships No. [-] and No. [-] was dumbfounded.

And the No. [-] ship opened fire fully and rushed towards space again.

In the empty command room, Ian was placed on the ground by the mecha.

His body shook for a while, and he managed to stand still with the help of the console, and fell into the captain's chair.

Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks and wet his neckline.

"Your wound needs to be treated as soon as possible, Ian!" Guangji's voice came from the speaker of the console, "Your blood loss is close to the warning line, and you will lose consciousness. And you just used the guide intensively Ability has consumed a lot of mental power. Once organ failure syndrome is triggered, it cannot be cured with the level of the medical cabin on this starship..."

"You control the sailing." Ian panted weakly, and leaned back into the chair.

A mechanical waiter slid over with a healing device.

Ian struggled to take off his robe.Most of the white shirt inside was stained red with blood, and the blood was still dripping down the seat.And because the starship was accelerating upward through the atmosphere, the blood that fell on the floor slid down into red marks with violent vibrations.

When the light of the healing instrument fell on the gunshot wound on his waist, the intense pain made Ian twist his face.

But all the pain is worth it.

The starship also rushed out of the atmosphere at this moment, and then opened the wormhole operation mode.

The warship of the Xilin Holy See Army chased it out belatedly, and could only watch helplessly as the No. [-] starship plunged into the wormhole and disappeared without a trace!

"Ian, you will regret it!" A communication from Carol was received by the second starship at the last moment.

The man gritted his teeth: "By the time you arrived, the battle over there would have been over long ago. You just changed your place to throw yourself into the trap. And you have betrayed the Holy See and the Holy Lord, so you are waiting to be punished by God." !"

"Who is the god?" Ian turned off the communication and closed his eyes tiredly, "No matter who it is, it should not be the one you are worshiping..."

The moment the spaceship rushed out of the atmosphere, the bright yellow flames surrounding it suddenly went out.

Without resistance, the royal starships of the Byron Empire swam forward happily like a group of fish jumping into the sea.

In the calm cabin, the melodious piano concerto drifted away again.The brisk melody sets off the star-studded space outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a dreamlike beauty.

"When was the last time we traveled together in a spaceship, Anthony?" Raphael asked.

The Duke of Oran turned around from the floor-to-ceiling windows: "It should be four months ago, Your Majesty. I will accompany you to attend the ribbon-cutting of an energy star station."

"I remembered." Raphael said, "But you were on the accompanying ship at the time, even though I kept inviting you to come on the flagship."

"This is against the rules, Your Majesty." The Duke said, "At that time, Your Majesty and I were the two most senior leaders of the traveling crew. For safety reasons, we had to take the starship separately."

"Prevent us both from being killed by the assassin, right?" Raphael chuckled, "Then you are willing to take the same spaceship with me now again."

"Because we are traveling for a short distance this time." The Duke said calmly, "And you are not visiting, you are just going on vacation. I believe that in the star field of Glory, the guards have already cleaned up all potential dangers. And, Your Majesty, it was you who strongly ordered me to follow you to the flagship just now."

Raphael laughed out loud: "Oh, Anthony, you will always be a man who hates being ordered."

"Such an evaluation is biased, Your Majesty." The Duke of Oran said, "I don't think I am a self-willed man. And I have always obeyed your orders. As for other people, I don't think they are qualified to order me, no ?"

Raphael reclined on the sofa, holding red wine, without hiding his fascinated eyes.

"It's been so many years, and what you said will always hit the most itchy point in my heart. By the way, do you remember what happened when we were young?"

The Duke of Oran said: "I was only twelve or thirteen years old when I left the imperial capital, and you were only seven or eight years old at that time. We don't often see each other."

Queen Caterina doesn't like Queen Ayres, who has lived in Kruvia since she gave birth to Raphael.It wasn't until Felix took over the throne from his elder brother that the mother and son came to the imperial capital.

Raphael, who was less than eight years old, met his cousin who was taken away by his father for the first time—a tall and handsome Alpha boy like a wild pony.

"I really like Anthony." Raphael remembers saying to Queen Iris at the time, "I will marry him in the future."

"Oh, that's not allowed." Queen Iris laughed straight, "He is your cousin, equivalent to your elder brother. The empire does not allow marriage between cousins. What's more, Anthony is the prince deposed by your father .”

"Why did you abolish him?" Raphael defended his handsome cousin, "Father can definitely make Anthony his prince."

"Stupid boy!" Empress Iris yelled, "You are your father's prince, Raphael. The throne belongs to our house now!"

I obtained the crown prince position that belonged to my cousin, but my cousin was sent to the fiefdom by his father at a young age.

Over the next 80 years, Rafael had long since left this cousin behind.

He fell in love, got married, divorced, had children, and had countless lovers.As a prince, he can enjoy too many resources, except that he can't please his father and his younger brother is not very peaceful, he has everything he needs.

So after his father's illness was diagnosed, Raphael immediately thought that he could use his cousin and his children to achieve his goals.

So he encouraged his father to bring back the former crown prince who was exiled by them on the border.

When the cousin who had grown into a mature and handsome man reappeared in front of him, Raphael felt a heartbeat that he had never felt before.He felt a paralyzed part of his soul suddenly regain consciousness.

Raphael stared at the Duke of Oran sitting opposite him.

Do you love him yourself?

Obviously not.

The Duke of Oran was not a man to love.

Anthony is a person who is suitable for fantasy, for experiencing passion, for taking risks, and for breaking one's own heart.But it is not suitable for love.

He is a dangerous lion, seemingly lazy, but full of dangerous aggression.But when he's not attacking, you never know how powerful he really is.That way he'll lull you into thinking he's just a nice, lazy big cat.

"Can I trust you?" Raphael asked suddenly.

The Duke of Oran recovered from his contemplation, bowed respectfully and gracefully to the emperor as usual.

"You have to ask yourself this, Your Majesty. Loyalty and trust go hand in hand. Only when the superior gives enough trust to his followers can he gain the loyalty he wants."

"That also gives you a chance to be betrayed." Raphael sipped his wine and smiled faintly.

"Then never trust anyone." The Duke of Oran said, "The price of being a king is that you will be entangled in loneliness for a lifetime."

Raphael raised his eyebrows: "Then are you willing to pay the price?"

"Of course not, Your Majesty." The Duke of Oran said, "I have many people I trust. I even have relatives and friends who can entrust their lives to them. I have no interest in being a loner at all."

Raphael fell silent.

"Here we are." The Duke looked out the window.

A huge white star ring is like a ring floating in space.

The scenery inside the ring is clear at a glance. The woods and the large golf course occupy the main area of ​​the surface of the ring. The most conspicuous building is the Betsy Palace, the summer resort.

As the fleet approached, the magnetic field of the star ring rotated and opened like an iris, and the energy flow made the originally transparent magnetic field appear light blue.

The entire star ring is like a huge eye, opening in space, watching the comer.

At the same time, in District 96 of the imperial capital, without warning, a group of royal soldiers with real guns and ammunition rushed into the Monastery of San Miro.

They pushed away the panicked monks, went straight in, and knocked open the door of the dean's office!

The old secretary who was working jumped up in fright and broke the coffee.

There was no one behind the dean's desk.There was an unopened box of donuts on the table.

"Where's Dean Adway?" The captain asked the secretary.

"The dean went out to run some errands early this morning." The secretary trembled, "My lord, what happened?"

"We were ordered to arrest Dean Adwei." The captain said.

The secretary was horrified: "What crime?"

"Cooperate with the rebellion!" The captain said, "Your dean assists the Duke of Oran to overthrow His Majesty Emperor Raphael!"

The secretary was dumbfounded.

"Captain!" A soldier handed over the opened bread box.

There are six chocolate donuts with different flavors in the box, which are sweet and fragrant, and there is a white card on it.

There was not a single word on the card, but a golden-red flame was embossed, bright and dazzling, full of sarcasm.

In a high-end apartment building in the 5th district of the imperial capital, another group of heavily armed soldiers also broke down the door of an apartment.

Feminine bachelor pads are empty, and the scent of perfume and hairspray wafts through the air.On the island in the kitchen, there is still a coffee cup that has not been washed in time after drinking.

In the photon photo frame on the multimedia cabinet, a group photo of the brunette girl with her relatives and friends is being played.The girl is young and beautiful, smiling sweetly at the camera.

"I saw Miss Hughes bought coffee and came back early this morning, and greeted me at the elevator door." The apartment manager was anxious, "No, I don't know what she did at all. She is not in the Ministry of Justice. Work? She looks like a very pleasant young rich girl..."

"Sir!" The soldiers apparently discovered something too.

On the bathroom mirror, there is a red flame painted with lipstick, with smooth and frivolous strokes.The bright colors are ridiculed, and the fiery enthusiasm is like a slap in the face of the soldiers.

"Notify the general that the important Prometheus officials have absconded!" The captain roared angrily, "The news has leaked! An arrest warrant has been issued for the entire city. Close the airport—"

In the 30-kilometer star ring above their heads, the royal flagship has landed on the tarmac of Betsy Palace.

"Let's go, Anthony." Raphael put down his wine glass, surrounded by the attendants, and walked towards the hatch first.

The Duke of Oran deliberately waited for a long while before walking out of the hatch unhurriedly.

The moment the man's tall figure appeared in everyone's sight, thousands of soldiers emerged from every corner of the tarmac like an ant colony, and raised their guns at the Duke of Oran!

The military vehicle rushed out of Betsy Palace, and the photon cannon aimed at the well-dressed middle-aged man at the door of the starship cabin.

And Raphael, who came out first, was stuffed into a bulletproof shuttle by the guards.

"Anthony Coleman, son of Emperor Adam II, Duke of Oran. You are under arrest!"

Accompanied by a mid-spirited shout, a muscular old man left the crowd and strode out.

The Duke of Oran put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled meaningfully at the old man.

"The Marquess of Winston. I think it's time for you, an old bastard, to play your part." The Duke immediately said loudly, "For what crime?"

"Conspiracy!" Duke Winston yelled angrily, "You formed a dangerous party for personal gain, took bribes, and secretly formed a private anti-government organization in an attempt to overthrow the rule of His Majesty Emperor Raphael. Now, we will arrest you for treason!"

The soldiers surrounded the starship.

"I can walk by myself, gentlemen." The Duke of Oran opened his hands and walked slowly down the gangway.

The soldiers retreated half a step subconsciously before surrounding them again.

"Don't try to resist, Duke!" Winston warned. "Your comrades have either been arrested by us or are being pursued. His Majesty the Emperor also issued an imperial order ten minutes ago, dismissing you from all positions." .Your guards can't stand against our soldiers at all. More importantly..."

"My son is still on his way back to the imperial capital." The Duke of Oran finished the sentence for him. "Even if I received my notice, Earl Wilman will take at least ten hours to arrive."

"And when the time comes, he will be greeted by artillery fire from the entire empire!" Winston gritted his teeth, every wrinkle on his face trembling as he spoke.The joy of revenge filled every syllable in his words.

"The army in Earl Wellman's hands is far from being able to compete with us, duke. I advise you to send a message to your son now, so that he is ready to surrender. He has excellent military exploits, and we can use it from crime." Judge him."

"Really?" The Duke of Oran raised his hand and let the soldiers search him, "It's a pity. Leon is probably jumping through the wormhole and can't receive any information. Besides, you are so sure, you only rely on Raphael's Can one order bring back the lost power?"

Winston laughed: "Duke, you didn't know that you were defeated by your own arrogance. You thought that you had the son of the Dark Sentinel, and you had the most powerful power. This is the first crime you have committed. One, and most serious mistake."

"It seems that you are also very confident in your own power." The Duke of Oran said, "But you are wrong, Lord Marquis. The most powerful power I have is not military arms."

In the flying shuttle in the distance, the car window was rolled down, and Raphael looked over through the human wall.

Princess Elsa's delicate face appeared beside Raphael, and she also gave her a cold and vigilant gaze.

The Duke of Oran and Elsa's eyes met, like two long swords clashing in the air, sparks splashed out with a bang.

"Remember!" Raphael gritted his teeth and said to his sister, "I want him to live!"

"Don't worry, brother." Elsa turned her face, and turned back to her usual gentle and intellectual appearance like flipping through a book, "Anthony is our cousin after all. We won't kill each other."

"What is that?" Marquis Winston asked the Duke, "You still have the strength?"

The Duke of Oran turned his gaze back to Winston's aging face, and shook his head regretfully.

"It's a shame that you can ask such a stupid question, Winston!" He changed his previous gentleness, and suddenly shouted, "You are the elder of the three dynasties, Winston, you were once my father's courtier. He promoted you , think highly of you, and even married you. And you repay him with ruthless betrayal!"

Not only Winston, but all the officers and soldiers present were taken aback for a moment.

"You ungrateful bedbug!" The Duke of Oran scolded in a deep and deep voice, with a majestic breath, and his natural kingly demeanor was revealed everywhere, making it impossible not to feel awe of him.

"When he and my mother died tragically, when I was bullied by the House of Lords and Felix, you did not hesitate to take refuge in Felix. You even helped Felix cover up the evidence in order to surrender—you will Questionable accident reports are buried and destroyed, and questioning investigators are bought or transferred away.”

Every limp flesh of Winston's face trembled.

"Yes, I know." The Duke of Oran smiled ferociously, "I know everything, Winston! In 93 years, I have never forgotten the death of my parents for a day! I have never given up looking for the truth. And when I found After learning the truth, I will spend the rest of my life avenging my parents and taking back everything that belongs to me!"

Winston clenched his hands tightly into fists: "What you said...is all your own speculation! You have no basis at all!"

"You want to know the basis?" Duke Oran sneered, "I can tell you the basis, and I can also show you what my greatest strength is."
