Demon's Self-cultivation

Under the light of the stars, the huge ship exudes icy silver light, gradually approaching the capital star of the Kingdom of Manlai, which is on the verge of falling.Looking at the real-time video images transmitted by the communication satellite, the capital of the Kingdom of Manlai was in a state of panic, while the generals on the ships of the Kingdom of Keinton could not hide their excitement and excitement, and their faces became more solemn and serious.

Qiao Qiao has already waved around, leading his own team to join the large force led by Mandel—after all, attacking planets is not his forte, and Qiao Qiao does not intend to give his host a chance at such a critical moment. make trouble.

At this time, he was lying on the soft couch next to the command position, listening to Mandel's deployment of the offensive strategy, while typing on the computer in front of him.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stood up: "King Manlai has escaped with the royal family and several senior government officials!"

Before the words were finished, everyone cast surprise glances at him in unison.

"Are you sure the information is true?" Mandel's eyes flashed and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right!" Qiao Qiao nodded quickly, "When I came to Manlai Capital not long ago, didn't I hack into the palace security system in a bored way? Besides taking a few videos, I also hung up the The small program goes in." As he spoke, Qiao Qiao smiled shyly, hiding his credit and fame, "I forgot about this before, and just went in to check when I was bored, only to find that they ran away a day ago."

The generals twitched their mouths when they heard what he said, and made up their minds to bring their queen's hobby of black system into their graves - if other people found out, their queen would probably be listed by all countries. Entering and exiting the blacklist, you will never be able to conduct a state visit.

"Run away a day ago?" Mandel frowned, turned to look at a general, "Can you catch him back?"

"I don't know the escape route of the other party. It's a bit difficult." The general shook his head.

"It should be in the direction of the Diwa Kingdom." Jojo interjected, "The Manlai royal family seems to have obtained a political asylum permit from the Diwa Kingdom."

The generals of Kyingdon were not surprised that the Diva Kingdom provided political asylum to the Manly royal family.Although the war broke out between the Kingdom of Manly and the Kingdom of Kyingdon, several other neighboring countries also sneaked in.After all, none of them wanted to see the ambitious Kingdom of Kyington truly become stronger.Once the Kingdom of Manlai is annexed by the Kingdom of Kyington, no one can guarantee whether they will become the next prey.

Therefore, although they did not participate in the war on the surface, many countries secretly provided assistance to the weak Manlai Kingdom, and the Manlai Kingdom was able to stalemate with the Kaington army on the last line of defense for so long. In addition to the joint efforts of China, it is also possible that there are reasons for other countries to contribute their efforts.

Now, the last line of defense has been disintegrated by the Cainton army, and the kingdom of Manly is irretrievably lost.But as long as the orthodox royal family of the Manlai Kingdom still exists, it is impossible for the Kyrington Kingdom to subdue and integrate the Manlai Kingdom with peace of mind and make it a part of itself, and it is bound to allocate part of its energy to guard against the restoration of the Manlai royal family. , to slow down the pace of continuing to conquer.

——Obviously, the Kingdom of Diva is planning to support the restoration of the Manlai royal family.

"I'll lead the team to chase after the Diva Kingdom!" Hearing Jojo's information, the general replied immediately.

"Go." Mandel nodded slightly, "pay attention to what you can do, and don't rush forward. You can catch the best, and if you can't catch it, you can't cross the border of the Diva Kingdom's star field and conflict with the opponent. At present, it is not appropriate for us to launch another a war"

"Yes!" The general replied loudly, and hurriedly left after paying a military salute to Mandel.Mandel turned to the accompanying diplomats and smiled slightly: "Such important news needs to be known to the people of Manlai."

"Understood." The diplomat showed a comprehensible smile, quickly returned to his seat, and began to draft the next speech to the public in Manlai.

"Since the situation has changed, the offensive plan will be postponed." Mandel waved his hand at the rest of the generals, indicating that the meeting will be adjourned for now.

The war has progressed to this point, and even if the Kaington side has triumphed all the way, it is now said to be exhausted.What's more, attacking the planet is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than the previous Star Wars, and the soldiers of Kyndon are not as familiar with the terrain and climate of the capital of the Kingdom of Manlai as the local garrison, so the landing operation will inevitably bring a large number of casualties.

It would be best if we could take this opportunity to urge the Manlai Kingdom Army to surrender voluntarily.In order to achieve such a result, the Kaington government is also willing to retreat appropriately and give the people of Manlai the best post-war resettlement.

With the assistance of Jojo, a few hours later, the speech video of the diplomat of Keinton successfully entered all the public media of Manlai, and spread rapidly throughout the Manlai Kingdom.

The people of Manly were at first in disbelief that their king had fled at the last moment, seeing it as a means by the enemy to attack their faith in the defense of the country.But when they strongly asked the king to come forward to clarify but did not respond, but got confirmation from some government officials, voices of despair, anti-war, and even surrender suddenly broke out.

Unlike the Huaxia Alliance, the European and American empires, and other regimes that have existed since the Earth Era and have a long history of thousands of years, the Kingdom of Manlai and the Kingdom of Keinton, which have been independent from the colonial star for less than a hundred years, the people of their own countries have great respect for their own country. , Nationality and culture do not have such a deep sense of honor, mission and belonging.

These people living under the leadership of the new regime do not value the name of their country, but only care about whether they can live a happy and fulfilling life-to use an inappropriate and more derogatory word, that is, "there is no milk" It's the mother."

Previously, the people of Manlai hated and resented the invasion of the Kingdom of Kaington, and united as one to resist foreign enemies, but they were worried that once the country was destroyed and their families were destroyed, they would be enslaved by the Kingdom of Kaington as a defeated country, and their future lives would only be lost No support, no security.

But now, when they are fighting with their last breath and trying to fight to the last moment, they suddenly hear that the leader and the government who should have led them to face the enemy have given up struggling before them, and they are escaping for their own survival. The people of Manlai are holding back The breath in his chest was released immediately.

——If even the royal family and the government admit to the subjugation of the country, why did they die for the name of Manlai and for the royal family who don’t know where they are?

——If the royal family and the government abandon the people in order to protect themselves, why do the people who have been left behind continue to fight and forge deeper hatred with their future new government?

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of all living things.The escape of the Manly royal family is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, because they know that the Kaington government will never allow themselves to be at ease after annexing the Kingdom of Manly; and the people of Manly put down their arms, give up resistance, and use surrender as a weight to gain the future Better treatment is also the same consideration.

Under the coercion and lure of the Kingdom of Kainton, the diplomats of the two countries quickly reached an agreement.

The leaders of the Kingdom of Manlai are disarmed to cooperate with the occupation and rectification of the Kaington government, and the Kaington government promises that after the merger of the two countries, the people of Manlai will enjoy the same treatment as the citizens of Kaington, regardless of high or low points.

When the army of the Kingdom of Kyndon landed on the capital planet of Manly, peacefully controlled the palace and government offices of the Kingdom of Manly, when the flag of the Kingdom of Manly was lowered and the flag of the Kingdom of Kyndon was raised, it meant this war In the end, it ended with the complete victory of the Kingdom of Kyndon.

However, the victory of the war does not mean that the Kaington government can relax, on the contrary, this is just the beginning of the busy.

The star area of ​​the Kingdom of Manlai is not smaller than that of the Kingdom of Kyrington, but how to swallow such a "big guy" without being choked to death and affecting the quality of life of the people in the country is a very serious problem.

At the same time, although most of the Manlai people gave up resistance and accepted the new government, radical rebels were still inevitable. The Kaington government had to send troops to suppress the rebellion and maintain law and order to prevent catastrophe.

After the war, it was the most sensitive and chaotic period. Old interest groups were shattered, and new interest entanglements were born. All aspects need to be considered properly.

The Kaington government is very busy. On the one hand, it needs to establish a new leadership team on the new leader and strengthen its control over the new leader. Citizens” to increase their trust and support for the new government. On the other hand, it is also necessary to balance the relationship between the new leader and the old leader to prevent the two sides from having an unbalanced mentality in this huge political change. Affect the fusion and stability of the two star fields.

At the same time this time, the army of the Kingdom of Kyndon was still trying to find the whereabouts of the Manlai government-in-exile, hoping to capture the other party smoothly.It's a pity that such efforts don't seem to have much effect. After all, the universe is vast and boundless. Even if you know that the opponent's goal is the Diva Kingdom, if you don't know the exact route and the other party wants to avoid it, it is really difficult to "coincidentally" meet .

Due to being too busy, even though the Ministry of Rites had already drafted the marriage agenda for Mandel and Jojo and passed Mandel's review, the wedding date has not been decided—even if it is decided, it will have to wait until the smoke clears after the war. This matter can only be considered after the integration of the two countries is completed.

Regarding the delay of the marriage, the two parties, Mandel and Qiaoqiao, have no opinion. After all, marriage is not very meaningful to these two self-centered people. Whether there is a marriage relationship or not, the relationship between them There will be no change in the way of dealing with each other.

However, although the wedding date has not yet been decided, the news that the two are about to get married is still spreading. With Mandel's deeds of "rushing to the crown and turning into a blue face, and succeeding", it has attracted people who eat melons in other countries to talk about it. Le Dao, all lamented that the young king of Kainton really had a good harvest in both love and career.

——It's a pity that they don't know that the life of this proud winner in life is not easy, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep with his wife.On the contrary, Qiao Qiao has nothing to do these days. He didn't even do any intense bed exercises. His whole body has become more rounded, cute and harmless.

——At the very least, when Asester sees Jojo like this, his first reaction is to feel that this "promising" young star thief has quickly fallen under the pampering of family life and his partner.

This time Asester took the initiative to appear in front of Mandel, of course not to take Jojo away, but to "do business".As for the goods to be traded, it was the Manlai government-in-exile that the Kaington army could not find.

It has to be said that star robbers are really good at finding people in the vast universe.Their intelligence network spreads all over the universe, and they also like to drill into sparsely populated and remote places, but there are very few chances of escaping the targets they are following.

As early as when the Kingdom of Manlai and the Kingdom of Kyndon were at war, Asester's Black Vulture Star Bandit Group focused on these two countries, and made a lot of war money from it, and also received Manley immediately. The news that the royal family left the capital star quietly.

When the ships of the royal family of Manlai left the capital planet, they had already been targeted by the Black Vulture Star Bandits.However, the Star Thieves were very patient, until the prey was about to arrive in the Diva Kingdom and victory was in sight, then they suddenly showed their fangs.

The panic-stricken Manlai royal family was certainly not the opponent of the Black Vulture Star Thief Group. The Star Thief Group captured them all alive without any effort, and then sent them to Mandel.

Glancing at the desperate and desperate Manlai royal family who were tied up by all kinds of flowers, Mandel quickly looked away, smiled at Asester, and said Yan Yanjian seemed to have completely forgotten the tension between the two when they met last time: "Thank you so much Captain Asester, you really helped me this time—but, there should be a few key figures missing here, right?"

"It's easy to say." Asest raised his eyebrows, and he didn't mention the big loss he suffered in front of Mandel before, "I'm a serious businessman, and we're talking about business. The people you mentioned are also in our business. In hand, as long as the price given by His Majesty satisfies us, we can send them over immediately!"

Mandel nodded in satisfaction, and signaled the ministers around him to discuss the "price" issue with the Star Thief Group, and a person from the Black Vulture Star Thief Group also came out, and the two went to the living room next to them to start bargaining.

As for the two leaders, Mandel and Asester, they naturally don't need to worry about this "small matter".The two said a few official polite words casually, and soon brought the topic to Qiao Qiao.

"I heard that His Majesty Westin is planning to marry Jojo?" Asester raised his hand and touched his chin with a delicate expression.

"That's right." Mandel replied affirmatively, "You have raised Jojo for eight years, and on the day of your wedding, you will invite Captain Asester and everyone from the Star Thieves to attend the ceremony."

Aseste shrugged his shoulders: "It's up to you whether you will come or not. After all, people of your status are going to get married, and most of the visitors are dignitaries from various countries. Nine out of ten people have hatred against us. I don't intend to throw myself into the trap." !"

"That's really a pity." Mandel curled the corner of his mouth, his tone calm.

Seeing Mandel's insincere appearance, Asester knew that the other party's invitation was just a casual talk, and he didn't intend to show himself at all.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Aseste felt a sense of displeasure in his heart. The more he looked at Mandel, the more he disliked it—this kind of dislike was not only because he suffered a big loss from the other party, but also brought a sense of displeasure. It has the taste of "the father-in-law looks at the son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more he is an eyesore".

Although Asester thought he didn't have any "father-son relationship" with Jojo, he had raised this little guy for eight years, from the time he was ten years old, and he had worked hard and devoted himself to raising him.From the perspective of time, he paid more to Qiao Qiao than Qiao Qiao's real adoptive father-and Xu Zhengjie only raised Qiao Qiao for three or four years.

Acester and Xu Zhengjie have very different personalities, they have always been rivals at odds, but at this moment, they feel the same.This kind of tender cabbage, which is juicy and juicy, is uncomfortable and depressed by other pigs. It is probably the only point of agreement between the two.

Suppressing the sourness and boredom in his heart, Asester made a request to meet Jojo.And now Mandel, who has connected with Jojo and gets along happily, is no longer worried that this unconscionable little guy will abandon him and leave with Asester.

Acknowledging Aseste's request, Mandel quickly contacted Jojo, and seeing the other party's straightforward attitude, Aseste also completely gave up the idea of ​​abducting the tender cabbage.

Not long after, Qiao Qiao who received the news soon appeared in the living room.

Aseste looked at the rosy young man in front of him, his eyes widened slightly, and he blurted out: "Why have you gained so much weight?!"

Qiao Qiao: (⊙_⊙)? ? ? ! ! !

Qiao Qiao, who has always been rough and didn't care about her appearance at all, was at a loss for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Is there?"

"Of course." Asester's expression was indifferent, sharp to the point, "Without supervision and request, you are completely lazy and let yourself go, right? How long have you not exercised? Are your abdominal muscles still there?"

Subconsciously touched his soft belly, only felt that Qiao Qiao had been hit by an arrow in the knee: "…………………"

——Isn't this kind of pleasantries poisonous? !
