This is not mechanical ascension.

"I didn't offend them, did I?" Ulrich was puzzled. He looked up the information, and his angry expression gradually turned weird: "Is it the civilization from the Federation? This batch of goods is only worth 20 million?"

‘This is not an incident against us. According to my investigation, Kaiila Civilization is launching an anti-corruption investigation against the Machinists Association,

We just bumped into each other. "The assistant explained.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝐭𝐰𝐤𝐚𝐧.𝐜𝐨𝐦]

"An anti-corruption investigation against the Machinists' Association?" Ulrich was surprised. The Machinists' Association has dominated many civilized related industries for many years.

If you really want to investigate corruption, you must investigate it accurately, but under normal circumstances, no one dares to investigate.

"Are the rumors true? Are the three major civilizations really going to attack the Mechanics Association?" Ulrich thought in his mind.

At this moment, the extremely long queue of spaceships spread out from the star gate node outside the Mechanical King's Court seemed to be cut off from a certain moment.

No spaceship came out for a long time.

The star gate began to become extremely unstable, and even continued to expand, seeming to be under load.

The radars of all the spacecraft present buzzed, detecting sharply rising energy fluctuations, and the patrol fleet of the Mechanical Royal Court had begun to assemble.

The next moment, a magnificent steel fortress slowly squeezed out of the star gate, wrapped in the energy shield of the nitrogen box. It was huge, far larger than a conventional carrier, and comparable to a small satellite.

The fleet assembled by the Mechanical Royal Court looked like ants in front of it.

Following closely behind were the standard black battleships, slender, sharp, and sharp-edged, swarming out and converging into long dragons, quickly forming dense and neat military formations in the air, occupying the star field.

"What the hell? Where did this fucking interstellar fortress come from? The star gate almost burst..."

"This is the Empire's - the Anucius, the interstellar heavy fortress, and the Axe-Blade fleet."

"Why did the empire's fleet suddenly arrive?"

In the wide-area channel, noisy signals were being transmitted crazily. All the transport spaceships stopped in place cautiously, not daring to move for fear of being locked by this behemoth.

Under the eyes of everyone, a figure flew out of the fortress. All the spacecraft's observation signals were locked on the opponent. Recognizing the opponent's life form, his face instantly turned pale and his throat rolled.

"Prince Rui——Eun!?"

They knew that this imperial prince seemed to have a grudge against Qinglong. This time, he must be coming with bad intentions. The army was pressing down on the territory, and he might blow the Mechanical Royal Court to pieces.

My heart became more and more frightened, for fear of being affected.

But soon, a voice came from the wide area channel, "This is the Empire - the Ax Blade Battleship. For those who have nothing to do with it, please don't worry and stay calm."

Everyone present was at a loss, but finally heaved a sigh of relief.

But then, violent mental fluctuations swept out, covering a large area in front of them, and even gave some ordinary life forms a splitting headache.

Feel the cool sound inside--

"Qinglong, come out and see me!"

The alarms of the Mechanical Royal Court kept sounding, and Ulrich stared at the figure on the screen with an ugly expression.

"Here he is. A prince of the empire actually tried to block the door, and he even blocked Li Ming's door."

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Li Ming warned us in advance."

Outside the porthole window is the endless starry sky. They have left the Mechanical Royal Court long ago and are currently traveling in the chaotic star gap.

"The army is approaching." Monroe stood beside him with an ugly expression on his face: "The one who comes here is not good. If Lord Qinglong appears, there will definitely be a battle."

"This battle is pointless." Ulrich frowned.

"If you don't show up, it means that Your Excellency Qinglong is afraid." Monroe said helplessly, "Although the Mechanical Royal Court is Li Ming's business, it has something to do with Qinglong after all."

"Can you win?" Ulrich was quite confused. They didn't know where the Blue Dragon's limit was, but the Imperial Prince was very valuable.

Monroe sighed: "It's hard to say. Even if we win, it's useless. Behind Ryan is the entire empire. No matter we win or lose, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"The troublesome thing is that Rui En is blocking here, which is equivalent to putting His Excellency Qinglong on a stand. You must have an attitude to show, and you can't let Li Ming come out to deal with it."

"Well—" Ulrich's eyes flickered, "There is actually a way to break the situation."

"Oh?" Monroe couldn't help but look over: "What's the way to break the situation?"

"Blow up the Mechanical Royal Court." Ulrich said decisively, "Once the Royal Court is exploded, Your Excellency Qinglong will have no reason to appear, and he can still frame it for the Empire."

"I buried a "star annihilation bomb" underground in the Royal Court. They did not block the signal. I gave an order and the Royal Court was gone.

"When did you bury it? Why didn't I know?" Monroe's face changed slightly, and at the same time he warned: "Don't make your own decisions."

"Of course you don't know, and I don't have to be responsible to you." Ulrich waved his hand and frowned: "Don't worry, even if you use it, you must obtain the consent of Lord Qinglong."

“Although Li Ming’s business is not a big deal to Your Excellency Qinglong, it is actually not a small one. I don’t know how Your Excellency Qinglong will deal with it.

In the Iron Throne Hall, there were less than ten people participating in the regular meeting of the Corona Borealis Ring, including the Navigator and the Bloodfallen.

"Blackbeard is dealing with a few people, so there's no need to wait for him." The navigator said in a deep voice, "Everyone, tell me, what have you gained in the past ten days?"

After the words fell, mist floated on the throne, no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed very unnatural.

"Falcon, tell me." Seeing no one spoke, the navigator had no choice but to specify.

"We still haven't found anything yet. We have investigated everything and killed many members of Etland's royal family. They have asked the empire for help." Falcon explained helplessly:

"The only ones who are likely to know the truth are Xavier and his fiancée. We are still exploring this line. They hide very deeply, often change their coordinates, and use the black hole network to communicate with the outside world."

"Still no clues found-." The navigator's face was extremely ugly. At that time, he didn't take Qinglong's threat to heart at all.

However, as time passed, reality slapped him hard.

He really couldn't find anything. He couldn't figure out how the enemy's actions could be so secretive.

Suddenly someone spoke, with hesitation and uneasiness: "Is there a possibility that Prince Ryan has actually stopped taking action?"

The navigator paused slightly and stopped moving?

Before he could speak, someone immediately objected: "If you did something that might become an interstellar public enemy, and if you decide to stop taking action, will all traces be erased?"

"Ryan kept those things called blood seeds. Could it be said that he was deliberately preparing to be exposed?"

"But we have already reached this point, and the empire has noticed us. If we continue the investigation, I am afraid that many people will be exposed.

Several people were arguing, and the navigator frowned. He felt that there was a mess in front of him, and nothing was right no matter what he thought about.

"Ask Qinglong." The Bloodfallen said, and the noisy voice suddenly fell silent.

The pilot's heart was filled with anger. No matter what happened, he didn't find any clues.

Asking Qinglong is equivalent to admitting defeat and making the opponent weaker.

He was unwilling to give in. For such a big thing, whether it was still going on or it was over, there was no way there would be any clues.

“No—” the navigator said angrily: “I’ll go there myself and I won’t believe it. I can’t do it without him.

The Bloodfallen frowned, the Navigator was already dominated by emotions.

"Here comes Blackbeard."

Someone whispered, and a throne shimmered, condensing black mist. Before anyone else could speak, he hurriedly said:

"Everyone, something big has happened. Prince Ryan has arrived at the Mechanical King's Court with his army, intending to force Qinglong to show up."

After the words fell, the Iron Throne Hall fell into silence. The one who reacted the most was the Bloodfallen. The mist on the throne continued to surge, and his tone suddenly became several times louder, "When did it happen!"

"Just now, Ryan arrived in less than ten minutes." Blackbeard said in a hurry.

The navigator felt puzzled, "Why would he suddenly block the door of the Mechanical Royal Court? Isn't he afraid of being ambushed by Qinglong?"

"I don't know." Blackbeard didn't understand. He was shocked when he learned the news and quickly reported online.

"Wait a minute -" the Bloodfallen said in a deep voice, "If he dares to ambush, he must have someone to rely on. What's happening on the other side of the Sea of ​​Stars?"

Someone responded: "I don't know. Recently, our attention has been focused on the Corona Borealis star ring. The Starry Sea side should be step by step and has been eliminating the empire's garrison bases."

"I don't know—" The Bloodfallen frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and quickly summoned a certain member.

Immediately afterwards, the throne closest to the pilot trembled, and a black mist gradually emerged.

"Guide, what's going on around Ryan?" he asked urgently.

"Recently?" The leader was hesitant and didn't quite understand. "His message blockage has been very strict recently. It seems that he has some secret operations. I can't communicate with my people remotely."

"On the other hand, he has no scruples about the garrison base and cleans it up very quickly." Each Pioneer is responsible for different levels. Without large-scale information exchange, it is almost impossible to know what others are doing.

"Contact your people immediately. Now that Ryan is not in the Sea of ​​Stars, he is blocking the door of the Mechanical King's Court. This is an opportunity."

"Blocking the door?" The leader seemed a little stunned and didn't know the news, but he quickly reacted and logged off.

"Did you guess something?" The navigator was surprised.

The Bloodfaller said nothing.

But soon, the leader came online again, with uncertainty in his tone, "I communicated with several psychic seeds, and I only know that Ryan has assigned many of his close soldiers to various areas of the Sea of ​​Stars. It seems that Transport something.”

"But what exactly it is is still under investigation."

"It's actually——" The Bloodfallen murmured to himself, "That's it——."

"What do you mean?" the navigator asked, there was a vague connection, and he was about to call it out, but it got stuck.

The Bloodfallen said with an indescribable helplessness: "We seem to have misunderstood Qinglong. If my guess is correct, the operation of the Corona Borealis Ring has stopped.

The navigator frowned, "The operation has stopped?"

"Yes, Ryan selected the target of the Corona Borealis Star Ring with the intention of dragging the empire down. Maybe he discovered the Azure Dragon, or maybe he discovered that we have noticed his actions." The Bloodfallen's voice had a sense of powerlessness. :

"So he stopped moving in the Corona Borealis and moved to the Sea of ​​Stars. Although no one could wipe his ass in the Sea of ​​Stars, he acted more unscrupulously."

"Those soldiers are probably transporting things called blood seeds. I guess Qinglong may have guessed some information."

"But he thought Ryan would not give up, so he reminded us that Ryan would be more careful, but in fact Ryan had already withdrawn his hand and left. The remaining blood species were left to confuse our sight."

The navigator was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and the others also fell into silence, with an unspeakable sense of humor.

Blackbeard's mind was confused. The reason why he could not find any clues was really because the action had stopped. They were fighting wits and courage with the void.

This-

"Why didn't he say it more clearly." The navigator was angry. Recalling his thoughts at the time, he thought Qinglong was challenging him. It was really embarrassing.

"It's already preconceived. What's the point of him saying it again? Besides, who among you would reveal your information channels to others?" Blackbeard couldn't help but speak, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

So much time and energy was wasted, but the result was a fight with the void, and Qinglong didn't even want to fight.

The others kept silent, and they were also very dissatisfied. Not only did they waste so much time, but they also lost a lot of manpower because the navigator misunderstood Qinglong.

The navigator was unhappy, but he couldn't refute it. He felt something was wrong. Qinglong didn't do anything, so how could his reputation rise?

He looked at the blood-fallen man with a hint of alarm. At that time, this guy had implanted the first impression on him, saying that Qinglong wanted to put pressure on him.

The blood-fallen man was speechless and felt his cheeks burning. He said in a deep voice: "Let's put this matter aside first. Ryan's actions were too abrupt.

I'm afraid his goal has been achieved in the Sea of ​​Stars."

"Guide, hurry up and check those small civilizations that have signed protective treaties with the Interstellar Alliance. I suspect he has slaughtered many planets."

"In addition, we need to discuss carefully the next direction and response methods."

"No need to blow it up, I have my own way."

Li Ming's heart suddenly jumped. Looking at Ulrich, who was respectful on the screen, he said lightly as Qinglong.

You are so sneaky Ulrich, you actually planted a bomb in the Mechanical King's Court.

Li Ming was speechless. He had some impression of this incident. Ulrich had mentioned to him at that time that some protective measures should be taken.

The Mechanical Royal Court had cost him a lot of effort. His family knew his own business. He didn't have a huge family business that outsiders imagined.

It was really just that little thing. It was finally on the right track. If it exploded, it would have to start from the beginning. It was not time to give up everything.

"I understand." Ulrich breathed a sigh of relief and ended the communication.

Li Ming's eyes flickered and he called up a live broadcast screen.

Ryan's fleet had surrounded the entire Mechanical Royal Court, but did not take any further action, and even allowed the transportation of goods to continue.

But in this case, no one dared to transport goods.

"The action is faster than I thought. You haven't completed the evolution, have you--" Li Ming rubbed his chin, his face flickered: "The Corona Borealis ring has been pressed, but the Sea of ​​Stars is your territory. Is this a desperate gamble?"

"Ultimate life form--?"
