Him and their stars

"Yes. I approve the plan drawn up by the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Palace. May the spirit of the universe be with you, and may victory and honor last forever."

The voice of Emperor Eliasel instantly crossed the endless sea of ​​gray mist in the virtual realm and landed at the node he chose in the main material world. With the emperor's current ability, his spirit is as vast and deep as an abyss, and the spiritual anchor formed by the condensed will has already transcended the constraints of space and time.

So, at this moment, in the audience room of Longlin Palace in Tianyu, the Privy Council ministers who had been waiting for a long time heard the voice of the Supreme Being. Although they still have not seen the emperor himself, the arrival of the emperor's voice and the arrival of the emperor's will means that the emperor himself has arrived.

As a result, these important ministers who controlled the entire Galactic Empire and even half of the universe knelt on one knee in the audience hall, listening to the divine voice from the void with the most humble attitude. At that moment, they were not just receiving the Lord's decree, but more like listening to an oracle.

"May victory and honor last forever." The emperor's majestic voice, like a god, rang in everyone's ears.

The important ministers of the Privy Council respectfully said in unison: "The glory will always be with Your Majesty!"

But then, the majestic voice suddenly changed its style and became more relaxed: "Hahahaha, there's no need to be so nervous. Even if you don't dare to deduce the future, you should still have confidence in your own national strength. No matter what the outcome is, , I am still alive, and there will always be a time when I have the bottom line. Now that you have made up your mind, go ahead and do it boldly."

The ministers once again said in unison: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!"

Although everyone was blessing in unison, at this moment, the atmosphere in Longlin Palace became excited. These Privy Council ministers, whose average age has entered the elderly stage, suddenly became as high-spirited as high-spirited young people. At this moment, they seemed to hear their parents saying to themselves, "Go out and make a living. If you don't succeed, you can still have food to eat at home." As a result, there is a sense of security and fighting spirit naturally arises.

From this perspective, whether they are important officials of the empire who control half of the universe or young people who go out to explore the world, their essential spiritual structures are actually unified.

"I'm always at ease when you do things." Emperor Eliser left a joyful instruction, and his will left here immediately.

"So, can't you stay for a meeting? Like a normal supreme commander, can you issue some serious instructions for subsequent actions? Every time it is decided by the Privy Council, wouldn't our empire look better than the opposite alliance? Is it still democratic?" Prime Minister Valpolis couldn't help but sneered.

However, he had just turned away from this thought, and the pressure in Long Lin Palace dropped again. Even the non-psychics present could feel that His Majesty the Emperor's will had returned.

"Now there must be people saying strange things about me in their hearts. However, I still say the same thing, I am always at ease when you do things." There was a smile in the emperor's voice: "Then, Inota, tell me your decision Tell everyone.”

Prime Minister Valpolis had already guessed something, and he couldn't help but let out a complicated sigh in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Grand Duke Inota, but there was a relaxed smile on the centenarian's aged and aged face.

Most people in the empire would not have thought that the Chief Privy Seal of the Privy Council, the theoretical second-ranking figure in the empire, and the leader of the empire's martial nobles, had actually been opposed to this war that had not yet been launched.

Half a year ago, when the temptation of the Ring of Miracles was placed in front of the empire, and when the war madmen in the Grand Marshal's Palace were preparing to formulate a battle plan, Grand Duke Inota said this:

"We may achieve military victory, and we may regain a little bit of the glory we lost fifty years ago, but it will be difficult for us to really get what we want."

But even so, he still supported everyone in starting war preparations. According to His Highness the Grand Duke, even if the fight fails in the end, the empire's mobilization power can still be tested to see if the Tirero people's swords are no longer sharp after fifty years of peace.

And now, Emperor Elithel, who has been swimming in the void, has finally put an end to the debate on this matter.

In everyone's sight, this old man who was over a hundred years old had straightened up, and his figure suddenly stood up straight. His whole body suddenly contained a sense of vigor and strength like that of a young man.

An aging face, a young body.

Prime Minister Valpolis always felt like he saw the shadow of the emperor. Then, he heard the Grand Justice say: "Well, it will be the last time that I preside over this meeting as the Privy Council Privy Seal."

Everyone present respects their status and will not cause an uproar on the spot. However, this news really shocked them, and they fell into silence for a while.

"You killers, yes, and of course I, the old killer, know how to start a war and how to conduct a war. Therefore, your Majesty and I have never worried about having no successors." Grand Duke Inota While smiling, he took the box with the Privy Council coat of arms from the hands of the palace attendant.

Everyone knows that this is the seal representing the chief of the Privy Council.

So, the position of Lord Privy Seal of the Privy Council and the head of the imperial ministers will be transferred like this? You know, the only people present are the ministers of the Privy Council who are in the Heaven Realm, such as the Grand Master of the Astral Knights, Duke Sadulan, and the Chief of the Army of the New Continent, King Suliuka, and they are not here yet? Is it a bit too casual to decide such an important position intuitively?

Naturally, some people present would think so, but they did not dare to object. The Emperor Elisir they knew was such a casual person.

Then again, for a God-Emperor whose power is comparable to that of a god and who has sat on the supreme throne for two hundred years, all patriarchal etiquette can only give way to his will.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that His Majesty the Emperor's will had left silently without knowing when.

King Wilente saluted the Grand Duke who raised his seal with respectful and solemn eyes, but he was not very happy in his heart. He really never thought that Grand Duke Inota would give up his choice at this time, let alone that His Majesty the Emperor would actually agree. He is the kind of person who will be very unhappy with any unexpected situation that exceeds his own expectations.

However, if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Although Grand Duke Inota supports everyone's plan for this war, he is actually quite "stable" in his heart. Many young imperial generals even said secretly that as expected, people are no longer good as they get older. Father Yi was so brave when he was young, but when he reached the stage of teasing his grandson, his courage and courage were gone.

Now, once the aging Grand Duke retires, the person most qualified to serve as the Privy Council Seal is actually King Thoraine. This was the chosen emperor who had just come off the battlefield. He had been in charge of the military administration of the Generalissimo's Palace, and he was also the commander of the Imperial Army who wiped out the looters last year. If he were in charge of the Privy Council, war decisions might be smoother.

In fact, King Wilente has always felt that a Dragon King like himself, with his dragon and phoenix looks, outstanding appearance, literary and military skills, and an upright young man, is the most qualified to be in charge of the Privy Council. However, even as proud as he is, he still knows that his qualifications and achievements are not worthy of this position, so it is better to stay dormant for the time being...

Of course, if it really comes to the stage when the throne is about to change, such an important position must be fought for at the risk of life. But judging from the state just now, His Majesty the Emperor is obviously in good spirits, and maybe he can continue for another hundred or two hundred years.

King Valente looked at King Soleyn, who was directly opposite him, and saw a trace of surprise on the face of this outstanding elected emperor. Obviously, the other party did not receive the message.

King Wei suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Then, Grand Duke Inota said: "So, Your Majesty and I have already decided. Mr. Valpolis, you will be the next Lord of the Seal. Of course, this does not mean that you can The burden of the Prime Minister’s Office has been lifted.”

King Wilent suddenly realized this and thought that this might be a blind spot in my thinking. Valpolis's seat in the Privy Council was originally the second one, tied with King Thorane. It is actually reasonable for him to take over...how strange!

Even someone as calculating as him and with superb acting skills didn't know what expressions to make for a while.

In the political system of the empire, the Privy Council was a derivative of the emperor's will and a representative of the martial nobles and military citizens. The Prime Minister's Office is the only leading department of administrative bureaucrats. The two are inherently supposed to be in a unified yet opposing position. In the past history of the empire, of course, there was no shortage of powerful people who had the glory of the East Courtyard and the authority of the West Palace attributed to them throughout their lives, such as the Grand Duke Shail, the old lover of Emperor Yiwenya... But none of these people could. Where is the virtuous prime minister who has left his name in history?

To put it bluntly, which Privy Council Privy Seal is not the talker of the Tirello military nobles?

The Prime Minister of Valpolis may be considered a capable official, but after all, he is an upstart who was pushed out of his humble position by the emperor. In the process of serving as Prime Minister, he often touched the cakes of noble gentlemen. Among the children of the old military nobles, this guy is definitely the number one traitor to the country.

For a person like him, just by occupying a position in the Privy Council, many people have pinched their noses. How can he be so virtuous that he can sit in the first place?

Then, the Prime Minister of Valpolis across from him also showed a very shocked expression...or rather, a perfectly designed expression of shock: "The lower official is not a prime minister born into a noble family, but a prime minister born into a bureaucrat."

"The Prime Minister of the Empire is the head of the bureaucracy." Inota said impartially.

"Xiaguan means that he has no experience in the military and is really not familiar with military affairs." Prime Minister Valpolis sighed: "Tell me, how can I, a teacher born in an ordinary family, be able to do this?" What about being in charge of the Privy Council?”

"Since Your Majesty has made the decision, you can do it even if you can do it, and you can do it even if you don't." Grand Duke Inota waved his hand in a haha, and then said: "You said you don't know anything about military affairs? Hahaha, maybe Is this what His Majesty wants? On this table, there are many people who know how to start a war, and there are also many people who know how to fight, but sometimes, what is needed is someone who knows how to end the battle."

Before anyone else could react, Grand Duke Inota's eyes had already surrendered to King Solane: "Your Highness, what I am conveying is His Majesty's will. What do you think?"

The emperor-elect shrugged noncommittally and said to the prime minister: "I just want to know how our fleet is doing."

"All the main ships of the Forbidden Fleet have completed maintenance and are ready to sail." the prime minister said businesslikely.

"How about the mobilization orders issued by the Generalissimo's Palace to each Zhechong Palace?" King Suo asked again.

"Yesterday at the meeting in the Prime Minister's Office, I personally vetoed it." The Prime Minister replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

...As a result, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified.

Just when everyone thought that the two big guys in charge of the military and the government were going to fight on the spot, the ill-tempered King Soleyn more than once reprimanded a general in front of a group of ordinary soldiers to the point of being embarrassed. King Ren showed admiration, looked at the other person up and down, and said with a smile: "...Okay, now I believe it, you may be the rare person in our current empire who knows how the war should end. , I am willing to cooperate with you. However, we must first start the discussion before we can finish it."

Almost at the same moment, Duke Sadolan, who was far away in the New World and did not participate in the Privy Council meeting in Tianyu, agreed that he felt the vast will like a god.

He opened his eyes in his retreat room, but at this time, the vast will quickly receded like an ebbing tide.

However, for Duke Sadolan, this was enough. He adjusted his breathing and calmed down completely.

He knew that when His Majesty approved the Privy Council's plan, he was about to face the biggest challenge of his destiny. Only after passing this level can he be qualified to inquire about the truth.

As the grand leader of the Astral Knights who has experienced hundreds of battles, he has passed the age where he needs to rely on his blood and fighting spirit to overcome difficulties and dangers. Now, all he needs is to have a calm mind. The more he needs to cross mountains of swords and seas of fire, the more he needs to be focused.

Then, his ears were once again filled with a wild singing voice: "Lao Sa across the way, look over. Look over~~~Look over! The virtual realm here is very exciting, please don't ignore it. .”

The empire's culture is vast and profound. In fact, the other party is just singing a popular love song that has been circulated in the empire for thousands of years. Observers from outside the universe can just take the spirit home.

Duke Sadolan sighed: "My heart, my heart is as calm as water..."

"I don't have any old enemies, because the empire is all vegetables, oh, oh, oh, oh~~~~ I don't even have any old enemies, because the empire is all vegetables, oh, oh, oh, oh~~~~"

"No mind, no body, no knowledge, no anger..." Duke Sadolan said to himself again.

"Lao Sa led people to invade, and he was in trouble. He met an old man Lan and was beaten. Thanks to the emperor's quick appearance, he was sent to the hospital to lie down for five years. Okay~~~~Ah, no, I sung it wrong, it was It’s not going to get better~~~~~”

Then, the demonic singing stopped immediately, and then was replaced by the demonic suona sound, but it still paid attention to his ears without stopping.

The grand leader of the Astral Knights, who had closed his eyes and was concentrating, finally stood up and tore open a space opening with one stroke of his hand - this was of course not because he was so powerful that he could ignore the laws of space, but because of the space anchor point. It is hidden in the ups and downs of singing and suona sounds. In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be a veiled message, but to demigods like them who are about to step onto the side of truth, it is almost like twisting their butts in front of themselves.

"Lan Jiufeng! You've gone too far!" Sadulan shouted at the opening of the space.

After nearly half a minute, a voice floated over from the other side: "Look at how stupid you are when you are so serious. It's really hard for me not to bully you. If you have the ability, why don't you come back?"

"I can't come over, but why don't you come over? Bah!"
