Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 203

"My lord, the Imperial Guard Fleet has been destroyed, they cannot attack..."

Hearing the "general"'s cautious answer, the emperor smiled instead of anger, as if he had heard something interesting.

"Ai Qing is really good at joking, my Imperial Guard Fleet is hard to find an opponent in the entire galaxy, don't you see that even the famous 'Guardian' needs to avoid it?"

"..." His majesty's swear words made the other people present look at each other in blank dismay, and for a moment didn't know how to respond.

His Majesty the Emperor in their cognition is a perfect figure who is wise, omniscient, strategizing, and decisive for thousands of miles. How could he not even know that the Imperial Guard Fleet was destroyed?

"Where did you learn to tell jokes, so you came here to show me? If so, then you have passed the test, and I can give you the honorary title of 'Master of Performing Arts'..."

The emperor was still talking about it, and he had even thought about the court positions he would give them in the future.

Such a confident performance made these "generals" who reported to work suspect whether their memory was wrong.

Could it be that the Imperial Guard Fleet is really not destroyed, and the news and images circulating in the society are actually fake, manufactured for a certain purpose of public opinion?

At this time, the "Empire of the Conquerors" is still young, and technology is far from coming to an end. Obviously, they have not been able to pursue many things to the extreme, and they have fallen into pleasure early.

Before he had time to think about it carefully, the huge projection device that woven the last wonderful dream for the emperor also completely stopped working, allowing the emperor to see the cruel reality.

This is the bottom layer of the "Empire of the Conquerors", a group of true "lovers" of the empire. Even if this is a distorted love, it has indeed maintained the empire, at least on the surface, without collapse.

Even if there are some instigators who want to try to trigger the "inferior uprising", I believe that the instigators will be directly killed by the fanatical "inferior people" without waiting until then.

For those nobles, it doesn't matter whether they are a member of the empire or not, as long as they can satisfy their desire for pleasure, it doesn't matter where they are.

However, as the ruling class of the empire - those nobles, they don't have so much emotion.

The content of the chat was not nutritious, and these so-called "generals" who were driven by the rich and powerful to put them on the shelves were not very educated, and they couldn't flatter even a word other than nodding their heads, which made the emperor a little boring.

The ruling class of the "Empire of Conquerors" also had the same mentality. The destruction of the empire would not happen for at least three or even ten generations, so even if they knew that this was not going to happen, they were completely indifferent.

"The financial situation has improved in recent years~"

The empire can continue without surgery, but once the surgery is performed, the empire will only fail or become benevolent, even if it succeeds, it will be severely damaged, and it will no longer have the glory of the past.

They followed the empire in the sea of ​​stars, and followed the ups and downs of the empire. It can be said that their family history is the civilization history of the empire.

Conquest by force brought them enough wealth to squander, and a large number of tributary civilizations and vassal civilizations provided them with seemingly inexhaustible resources like bank interest.

——In the sky covered with dark clouds, countless "Guardian" spaceships are passing by rapidly, as if they are scanning everything on the planet.

The bad premonition reached the peak in the emperor's heart in an instant.

And the arrival of the "Guardian" became the opportunity to pierce the empty shell.

In the end, from the emperor to the bottom of the nobility, everyone tacitly ignored this matter.

The dignitaries are keenly aware of the coming of the end, and have made full preparations, and they will be superior again in another place.

They are the real mainstay of the empire, and they are the ones who develop technology, open up territories, explore alien stars, and control production.

The emperor who should be the "forward" and the top dignitaries are the first to fall, which leads to the decline of the entire civilization. The prevailing entertainment atmosphere and neglected cultural inheritance also make the sense of belonging weaker and weaker.

Or is it that their great emperor actually has a hidden guard fleet, and those wiped out by the "Guardian" are actually just the tip of his iceberg?
And no matter what kind of speculation it is, it will only make these "generals" more fanatical.

And no matter which choice was made, it was an unacceptable consequence for the empire that had made countless enemies at that time.

Just as he was thinking about why the minister who was always in his favor hadn't come back yet, he, who was in good health, suddenly noticed that the clear sky suddenly appeared a little distorted.

So before the long river of time has passed enough, this civilization has fallen into "degeneration".

The motivation that still drives them to "loyalty" to the empire is just enough wealth.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The destruction of civilization should be a long process, but the "Empire of the Conquerors" actually died the moment the tumor failed to be removed, and what seems to be a beautiful thing now is just an empty shell of civilization, which will collapse with a single poke.

This is a group of complex interests colluding. When the "Empire of the Conquerors" was still an indigenous civilization and had not yet established a foothold in space, these dignitaries formed enough ties with the emperor.

They are all "inferior people" who have been pulled up from the lower levels for some purpose. Compared with those real nobles who have their own minds, they are "modeled fanatics".

Just as some indigenous people disdain the protection of the planet's ecology, because the disaster caused by the destruction of the environment will not fall on their generation, and they will use it for the current development with peace of mind.

And through the gaps in the clouds, you can also see a larger spaceship slowly driving away. It is only equipped with a giant muzzle, but you can feel the power enough to destroy the planet.

In the past, many talented and strategic emperors in the empire set out to remove this piece of "rotten flesh", but they were like tumors that coexisted with the empire, deeply attached to the bone marrow.

"Have you seen "Yes, Your Majesty" filmed by the comedian? It really made me laugh out loud..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This is a more thorough brainwashing than the "mind control" achieved by psionic energy, after all, their cognition has been completely distorted.

As if the signal had been interfered with, the "image" of the entire sky became blurred, flickering, as if it was about to dissipate immediately.

They are also the moths of the empire. They are also the ones who brainwash the bottom, squeeze the vassals, conquer wantonly, and indulge in pleasure.

This kind of civilization without cohesion cannot go far at all, and its destruction is just a lack of an opportunity.

"It is said that I am only one step away from being crowned 'Emperor of the Star Sea Empire'?"

Even if the upper class headed by the emperor squeezed 99% of their blood and sweat, these "inferior people" who have been nurtured from birth, undergone genetic modification and spiritual castration are the most loyal admirers of the emperor himself.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The stupid emperor himself became a victim of lies, and under the secretly mocking eyes of the nobles, he became the last full stop in the history books of civilization.

At this moment, the emperor, who didn't know all of this and was still dreaming of the dream of being the "ruler of the universe", was chatting and laughing with the "generals" around him.

The emperor recognized that this was the "Colossus", a warship specially equipped with Star Destroyer weapons.

There were also empires in the past, but in the birthday ceremony of a certain emperor in history, the colossus of the empire was sold to other civilizations to make up the funds for the celebration.

The target of this "colossus" is not this planet, but just passing by here, but how could this kind of warship come to his "garden" without his knowledge at all?

So the emperor froze in place, he finally understood that he was deceived by everyone around him.
