This is not mechanical ascension.

Glancing at Robin, he was still reading the news out of boredom.

Li Ming got up and returned to his room. On the smart terminal page, the scene of trying to establish a communication connection was displayed.

He put down the smart terminal casually, thinking that Abel would not be able to get through at the first time. Who would have thought that as soon as he put down the smart terminal, Abel's voice came to his ears:

"Your Excellency Li Ming."

Li Ming was slightly surprised, "Your Highness happened to be browsing the Black Hole Network."

"I'm reading some dark side information." Abel said helplessly: "I just discovered today that there are really endless enemies of the empire."

He had basically never had much contact with this aspect of things before, and he had never left the empire. On the limited occasions, no matter where he went, he was always a respectful life form.

Although I knew in my heart that many civilizations were forced by the power of the empire, I never expected that if there was a real crisis, so many enemies would emerge.

This period of time felt a bit like being pushed down by others, which really made him very uncomfortable.

Then you discovered it too late, Li Ming muttered. The secret communication between him and Abel started within two or three days after leaving the central world.

At first, Abel was just grateful for his life-saving grace, and then chatted about some things and exchanged some superficial information.

For example, Li Ming had known about the departure of Prince Ruian a long time ago, so he dared to have fun.

There are also coordinates for several S-level dimensional worlds, which were also given by Abel. Those dimensional worlds are worlds that are difficult to conquer and the resources in them are not very precious.

So they were left alone. After many trials and information exchanges, the two of them established initial trust.

"The closed-door meeting of the Royal Council is not over yet?" Li Ming asked.

"Not yet. It has been open for more than ten days, and no one can convince anyone." Abel's tone was very helpless, and he seemed to hate the iron. "Then the upper and lower houses have reached this level, and they are still afraid that they will let it go." too much benefit,

It will make the royal family strong again. "

Li Ming shook his head silently, this is the troublesome part once party strife breaks out.

Even when faced with a huge external crisis, the first thing I think about is - Why should I give up the benefits? Is the other party taking the opportunity to suppress me?

Didn't Abel still stand on the royal side and accuse the upper and lower houses, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother?

Li Ming said a few words in agreement, and Abel turned to hate and said: "Prince Costart has ordered Diaz to leave the central world for the third time, but this guy just refuses to leave."

Shortly after Li Ming left the hub world, Prince Costat and Prince Ryan also left one after another, leaving only Gainter and Diaz to guard here.

Normally, Gaint was the only defender, but Diaz shamelessly stayed behind.

In fact, this is a disguised intervention in the dimensional world.

The dimensional world has always been the back garden of the royal family. The reason is the existence of the Terrax civilization. The royal family has invested considerable power here from the beginning.

The House of Lords and the House of Commons had failed to answer the question many times. This time they finally had a legitimate reason to intervene, so naturally they could not let it go easily.

"Diaz hasn't left yet -" Li Ming was a little surprised, and also surprised by the internal struggle within the empire.

"No -" On the other side of the screen, Abel shook his head and said in a low voice, "But it's coming soon. The upper and lower houses intend to send someone to replace him in rotation, so that he will stay for a long time. He will not leave until his replacement arrives."

"It is said that after he leaves, he will be ordered to investigate your Mechanical Royal Court."

Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly, Costa intended to use Qinglong as an entry point to investigate the forces hidden in the dark.

But not everyone agrees. There are also hard-liners who believe that at this stage, being too soft is not enough. It is necessary to take a tough stance and shake up the stars.

Ryan is clearly one of the hardliners.

"Sir Rui En, you are really tough. You just do things without considering the consequences." Li Ming sighed and hinted, "Then I might be in trouble. I hope there is a way to prevent this from happening."

There was obvious struggle and hesitation in Abel's eyes, but when he thought of Ryan, the fear of facing death that day came over again like a tide. Abel said in a deep voice:

"The latest news, he claims to have discovered a group of secretly operating Holy Revolutionary Army in the dimensional world, and he is preparing to lead people to ambush—"

"Oh?" Li Mingwei grinned silently, and His Highness finally took the first step.

"Really?" Li Ming said in surprise, "Is the news confirmed? It can't be a trap by the Holy Revolutionary Army."

"I don't know." Abel's eyes were dark, "I just want you to help analyze it."

The smart terminal vibrated slightly, and several pieces of data were sent over. Li Ming clicked on it and found the itinerary plan and destination address.

"I don't know anything about this. I can only talk about research." Li Ming repeatedly dismissed the two of them and chatted for a while before ending the communication. The virtual screen in front of him disappeared, and Abel's slightly distorted cheeks were reflected on the smooth smart terminal panel.

He was startled and hurriedly restrained himself. Recalling what he had just done, he felt a little regretful.

I am the son of the Holy Emperor, how could I betray the empire's secrets? No, you can't blame me. Diaz refuses to leave, and the royal family has no time to talk to him. If he really takes root in the central world, he will be in trouble.

Besides, I just want Li Ming to notify the Holy Revolutionary Army in advance that his ambush failed this time, so that I can find a reason to launch an attack and let him disappear without a trace.

Besides, the empire would not collapse because of such a trivial matter. It didn't matter at all. Abel found many reasons to convince himself.

His expression finally calmed down, and he was determined that it was just this once.

"Hesitation, hesitation, regret - maybe a little bit of fear?" Li Ming rubbed his chin, guessing Abel's mentality.

He was very familiar with this kind of psychology. His old friend Fred had also gone through this kind of journey.

The difference is that there are many people above Ford, so he faces threats. He had to compromise. There was no one above Abel's head.

It's not easy to lure him into the water, but the benefits gained are also extremely high.

This path of evil has already begun.

"Once you get on the boat, you won't be able to get off." Li Ming looked at the information Abel gave him. He didn't know if this was the first time Abel betrayed one of his own people. He wasn't very familiar with it, so the information he gave him was sufficient.

The departure time, sailing distance, number of people and scale of the operation are all minute and detailed.

This eliminated the possibility of decoy. The entire voyage lasted more than half a month and passed through more than five to six thousand dimensional worlds.

The Empire can't hide its power all the way.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Ming's eyes flickered, "Is it just to make the ambush fail?"

"Diaz--" He stood up suddenly, his eyes cold, "Then let's collect some interest first."

After walking out of the room, Robin glanced at him and said: "The nearest public dimension station is the pioneering point of the Movis Star Cluster, which has a passage to the main universe."

"Don't go yet, I have to do something." Li Ming said, and then adjusted the coordinates of the spacecraft. Robin was a little surprised, but he was used to it.

Two months after Polk's declaration, due to too much information about the incident, the popularity has not diminished, but has become more detailed.

In the sea of ​​stars, the tide of resistance against the imperial garrisons is growing. These garrisons are nominally to protect the safety of small civilizations.

But actually. It is the bridgehead for the empire to encroach on the sea of ​​stars.

At the same time, the military expenses of these bases are still provided by the small civilizations stationed there, and no one will deliberately publicize them on weekdays.

But in this stall, driven by well-intentioned people, the situation has intensified. Protests and resistance activities continue, and various deeds of garrison troops oppressing local civilized citizens emerge one after another.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world continues, but a secret fleet has set off from the hub world. In the luxurious development room of the ship, Diaz is suspended in mid-air, with a shimmering light all over his body.

A wave of energy was rising in his body, impacting every cell in his body one after another. His body was trembling slightly, and his muscles and bones were making cracking sounds under the impact of this energy.

After a while, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, the light dimmed, and his body returned to normal.

Falling from mid-air and walking out of the development room, the apparent commander-in-chief of this operation was already waiting. He was a middle-aged man with a respectful expression.

After looking at the news, Diaz said solemnly: "The farce of this group of small civilizations is still going on. They are really desperate. If it weren't for the imperial garrison, they would have been wiped out by the nearby civilizations."

The commander also echoed, "If it weren't for the group of terrorists under the banner of revolution, how could these small civilizations dare to resist and even dare to rebuke Prince Ryan?"

"When the empire really takes action, they won't be able to survive for a few days."

After hearing what the commander said, Diaz was dissatisfied, "Don't take it lightly. The Holy Revolutionary Army has been active for so long and has not been wiped out. Is this something you can look down upon?"

The commander repeatedly said yes, and Diaz took another piece of information, lowered his head and glanced at it a few times, with an ugly expression on his face: "The expansion trend of this Mechanical Royal Court has not stopped yet?"

The commander said helplessly: "After the incident in the central world, the identity of Qinglong's master craftsman spread. In just two months, the scale more than doubled."

"We are all afraid of the master craftsman Qinglong, but no one cares about the majesty of His Highness the Prince?" Diaz was very dissatisfied, "It's just an organization under Li Ming, and it's flattering like this."

"After I finish things here and someone comes to replace me, I have to go take a good look."

The commander said helplessly: "Prince Costart has given an order not to attack this organization."

Diaz thought of Prince Costate's plan, frowned and said coldly: "Prince Costate has his plan, and Prince Ryan also has his own plan."

"Okay, show me the information we obtained about the Holy Revolutionary Army before -"

But before he finished speaking, the ship's hull shook suddenly and stopped suddenly.

Bang!

The staff present were shaken by the inertia, and some fell directly to the ground.

"What's going on?" The commander held the table and shouted loudly.

An operator soon responded with a look of horror.

"Sir, the regional gravity has increased by a thousand times." The crew's voice was full of panic and panic, "The shield field is about to collapse."

"Enemy attack?!" the commander was furious, "How dare you attack the imperial troops! Activate the early warning plan!"

The operators quickly returned to work, sweating profusely as they operated. Due to the special nature of the dimensional world, it was difficult to build an external communication network in a short time and could not contact the outside world.

Diaz turned his head and looked out the porthole. They stopped in a dark dimensional world.

"Who is ambushing me?" Diaz was surprised. "The itinerary plan should be top secret. Only a handful of people know about it."

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and endless light shone in the darkness. The light was so bright that it was like countless stars bursting out at the same time.

The next moment, the torrential rain of light poured down crazily, penetrating the formation of the imperial fleet with a devastating force, ruthlessly piercing the hull like the scythe of death.

The heavy outer armor twisted and tore in an instant under this powerful impact, emitting a metallic wail that made one's teeth ache.

In the blink of an eye, the ships exploded, turning into balls of blazing fire, blooming gorgeous but desperate flowers of death.

The powerful energy shock wave spread in all directions, setting off waves of space ripples, and broken parts and debris flew like meteors.

Blurred light and shadows shuttled through the black fog, tearing all the remaining warships apart.

Whoosh!

Diaz's face was ashen, and he rushed out of the explosion, his whole body covered with black scales. Looking at the fleet in front of him that turned into wreckage and ruins in the blink of an eye, he was frightened and angry.

The one who made the move must be an S-level life form, and not an ordinary S-level life form.

His pupils condensed slightly and turned black, and his whole body quickly expanded to nearly ten meters. His head was like a ferocious dragon head, with beast pupils, and his whole body was covered with black scales, like a carefully crafted metal armor stomach, each piece flashing a cold and dim light.

The black light flowed between the scales, forming a surging blazing flame. The surrounding air was instantly ignited, making a crackling sound, carrying the breath of destroying everything.

Diaz looked around, intending to find the trace of the enemy, but suddenly felt a terrible threat coming.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and a pair of mechanical iron fists were infinitely magnified in his eyes with an unstoppable momentum.

Boom!

The majestic force came with a bang, like a star hitting, and the seemingly indestructible black scales were like fragile thin paper in front of this huge force.

The fragments of the scales scattered like black meteors, flashing a desperate cold light under the reflection of the light.

Diaz felt that his body was overwhelmed, and his tendons broke one after another, making a creepy "snap" sound.

The bones cracked one after another, and the crisp breaking sound was particularly harsh in this silence.

The severe pain was like a flood, sweeping through every nerve in his body in an instant, as if countless sharp blades were stirring wildly in his body, making his consciousness almost fall into chaos. Every cell was wailing.

"Is it—you!?"

The moment Diaz saw the mechanical iron fist, he recognized the identity of the attacker, Li Ming!

"Are you surprised?" The Mechanical King rushed out of the black fog, tearing out a wave of air, and then punched again, with great force and heavy force, hitting Diaz's chest firmly, bloody and flesh like mud, and the whole thing sank.

After two punches, Diaz was directly seriously injured. He was weak and could hardly speak, and his pupils trembled.

There was only one thought in his mind, is there really a traitor among the top leaders! ?
