Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 876: The Reason for the Appearance of the Nadeshiko and the Princess's Transaction

Led by the royal maid, Tina, the second princess of the Ax Empire, and Portia, the fourth prince, walked into a side hall that was elegantly decorated and brightly lit, with a balcony where visitors could stand and look out over the plateau scenery.

"My dear guests, please wait a moment. The admiral will be here soon."

As a member of the royal maid, Sirius gracefully led the two into the side hall and served them tea.

Her every move was noticed by Tina, the second princess of the Axs Empire. Tina also noticed that Sirius could speak the common language of the Axs Empire fluently.

This made Tina feel extremely frightened.

You know, during the time when the Nadeshiko appeared in the Ax Empire, although both sides sent personnel to each other and taught their respective languages ​​to the top leaders, they could only meet the needs of daily communication.

But Sirius's behavior and words at this moment undoubtedly told Tina that they, and even the owner here, were very familiar with the Axs Empire.

At least in terms of language and culture, we are very familiar with each other.

Tina even thought of an even more terrifying possibility.

That was when the Axs Empire was in civil strife. Sirius and even the master behind her had already noticed everything about the Axs galaxy and were secretly monitoring everything that happened in the Axs galaxy.

If this is the case, then perhaps the purpose of the rebel commander Eurokend suddenly asking the Nadeshiko to send the siblings outside the Axe system has become clear.

"Sister. Can we really go back?"

The young fourth prince, Portia, looked at his sister cautiously and asked.

"Yes. We will definitely go back. Don't worry! Portia! Our mother is still waiting for us in the palace!"

Sirius silently stepped aside and watched the conversation between the siblings until He Ming, accompanied by Belfast, came to this side hall.

"Your Majesty. The second princess of the Axe Empire, Tina Axe, and the royal brother, Portia Axe, extend their sincere greetings to you!"

As soon as they saw He Ming stepping into the side hall, Tina and Portia, the brother and sister, immediately stood up and bowed to He Ming.

"No, I am not the emperor. You don't have to call me Your Majesty. I would rather you call me General than Your Majesty."

To Tina and Portia's surprise, He Ming directly denied the title of His Majesty and instead asked them to call him General.

For a moment, Tina and Portia were stunned.

He Ming, who possesses a mysterious star gate and a powerful space fleet, definitely would not just have a simple galaxy to sail from.

Behind that star gate, there must be a galaxy that Tina and Portia don't know about.

The man who controlled such a terrifying force was unwilling to claim the throne, but instead wanted others to call him general.

Now that I think about it, when Sirius received the brother and sister, he kept calling He the admiral, which already gave away a clue.

Thinking of this, Tina bit her lip slightly and saluted with her brother again.

"Respected and powerful General He Ming. The second princess Tina Axe and the fourth prince Portia Axe from the Axe Empire send their greetings to you. In the name of the current emperor of Axe, Ornos, we are willing to establish friendship with you."

Little did they know that He Ming raised his hand and ruthlessly exposed the brother and sister's disguise.

"We don't have to do this. Let's just talk it out, Bell."

Belfast took a step forward and projected pictures as he raised his hand.

Tina and Portia took a closer look and discovered that the planet appearing in the picture was actually the sixth planet they had just left not long ago.

The sixth planet in the picture is filled with endless fire and killing.

"Just a few hours ago, the Imperial Army launched a general attack on the Sixth Planet. The rebels fought desperately, but were defeated by the joint efforts of the Imperial Army and Mulian. They finally retreated to the surface and used the bunkers built on the Sixth Planet to continue resisting the joint attack of the Imperial Army and Mulian."

Belfast briefly explained the intelligence from the sixth planet, then returned to his original position and stood quietly. "Your Highness, Your Highness. Personally, I like to be straightforward. I understand the words and deeds of the royal family, but at this time, quick words may be more appropriate."

Tina and Portia looked at each other.

Tina saw that there was a hint of panic in her brother's eyes.

Since the civil war, the Sixth Planet occupied by the rebels has been the last refuge for the brother and sister from the royal family of the Axs Empire.

"I understand what you mean, General!"

Tina made a decision secretly.

"General. I want to exchange a piece of information for your support!"

"Go ahead! But whether I support you depends on the value of the information."

Tina knew that she had no bargaining power, so after calming herself down a little, she reported what she knew.

Several years ago, the former emperor of the Axs Empire, Ornos, knew that if the empire continued to be trapped in the Axs galaxy, it would be doomed.

Therefore, all the top scientists of the empire were summoned together, and the empire's strength was deployed to tackle the super technologies such as space jump that would allow the empire to leave the Axes galaxy.

But unfortunately, the attack plan, which consumed countless manpower and material resources of the empire and took nearly ten years, did not produce any results.

No matter who they were, whether they were gray-haired, long-established scientists, or young, vigorous, energetic, and talented emerging scientists, they all failed in the face of a seemingly weak barrier that was only one step away.

Over time, the attack plan, which had cost countless manpower and material resources but had no hope of success, gradually aroused objections from within the empire.

However, the then Emperor Oenos was still powerful and had tight control over the empire both inside and outside the country, so these dissents could never gather or even erupt.

However, all the changes began with an accident that occurred on the satellite of the Axs Empire's home planet more than a year ago.

According to the daily experimental plan schedule, the Empire's Third Space Laboratory, which was once again conducting a space jump experiment, was suddenly caught in an explosion and no one was spared.

But after the rescue team arrived, they found a strange and unidentified warship appearing in the ruins of the Empire's Third Space Laboratory.

On the night when the news reached the imperial capital, Emperor Ornos laughed three times and then died on the spot.

Half an hour later, the Second Prince of the Empire rushed into the palace with the army loyal to him and slaughtered all the royal blood and imperial nobles who had rushed to the palace. Only the many concubines of the former emperor, the Second Princess Tina, who was sent by her mother to visit relatives on the Sixth Planet, and the Fourth Prince Portia survived.

After listening to Tina's story, He Ming sighed.

"No matter what civilization they are from, these so-called royal families all have the same blood in their bones."

He Ming waved his hand and looked into Tina's eyes and asked.

"So, the intelligence you mentioned is about which Empire's Third Space Research Institute?"

"Yes! Although the General did not meet with the Nadeshiko and Captain Asuka, I can feel that the General seems to attach great importance to the Nadeshiko."

As she spoke, Tina's eyes sparkled.

"No. Rather than saying that the General cares about the Nadeshiko, it is better to say that the General cares about why the Nadeshiko is here."

Hearing this, He Ming laughed.

"As expected of a princess of the empire. Smart. I can help you and your brother return to the empire. But I want that ruin! And, if you find anything, the Axes galaxy..."

"If the General needs anything, the Axe System will submit to the General and become his vanguard!"
