Chapter 1602 Ideals and Rebellion

Mekkatorque was silent for a long time after reading the distress signal sent by Caesar Celatis, and finally made a decision to ask the adjutant to call the chief of the Lucas Ghost Fleet over.

half an hour later.

Lucas, the commander of the Ghost Fleet, boarded the flagship, see Mekkatorque.

Mekkatorque waved away everyone else in the small conference room, leaving only Lucas.

He calmly looked at the newly promoted commander of the Ghost Fleet, inspected, and did not speak.

Although Lucas is the newly-promoted commander of the Ghost Fleet, he is actually not young in the Palesian civilization.

His promotion method is somewhat similar to that of Mekkatorque. They are all coming out of the bottom ethnic groups and making meritorious deeds through actual battles.

Due to a bad background, the abilities acquired at a young age are relatively poor.

However, his talent is very good, so in middle age, when the new ghost fleet was selecting the leader, he passed all the assessments, and competed with another nobleman for the final qualification to command the ghost fleet.

When he obtained the gift of divine splendor from the temple, he successfully obtained the fleet concealment skills required by the ghost fleet, while another noble general did not succeed.

The noble faction originally wanted this noble, and tried again, wanting to take the position of the new commander of the Ghost Fleet.

In the end, it was Mekkatork Libao Lucas who was promoted to the commander of the Ghost Fleet.

It can be said that Mekkatorque was kind to him.

Otherwise, based on his background, he might have to wait until the noble who commanded the ghost fleet dies in battle before he has a chance to take the position.

"Like you, I came from the bottom group, so we all know how difficult it is to get from the bottom group to today..." Mekkatorque didn't go directly to the topic, but brought up the topic of origin.

Lucas saluted immediately, and said loudly: "Yes, General Mekkatorque, you were promoted, and I will fight for you in all directions in the future, and I will die without regret!"

Mekkatorque waved his hand and said, "We are all loyal to the Holy Church."

"Yes, allegiance to the church!" Lucas replied loudly.

"Now, I have a secret task that I want to give you to do, but..."

Mekkatork paused, and his tone became more serious: "This task is very dangerous. Whether it fails or succeeds, there may be no place for burial. Therefore, you can refuse."

When Lucas heard this, his expression froze, and he could think that this task must be very special, but he couldn't think of what it was for a while.

Mekkatorque went on to say: "If you refuse this secret mission, I will not have other demands on you. You are still the commander of the Ghost Fleet. I chose you because of your ability.

"As for this secret mission, which will affect the fate of civilization, I can't think of other better options.

"I'd even go in person if I could, but the battle has already begun and there's no way I'm leaving the fleet now.

"Now think about it clearly, whether you want to listen to this secret mission, or not.

"After listening to the mission, you have no chance of turning back.

"If you don't want to listen, turn around and leave now, as if I didn't call you today."

Lucas heard this and knew that this secret mission might involve the fate of civilization, noble factions, and even kingship.

He thought for a long time in silence, and asked, "If the general had a choice, would he do it?"

"meeting."

Mekkatorque only answered one word, but the firmness in his tone made people admire.

"Okay! Since this is the general's choice, then I will accept this secret mission. I can see that in the entire high-level civilization, there are not many people who are really doing their best for civilization. The general is one of them, and he is also the most persistent. One. Since the general thinks it should be done, then I will do it." Lucas made a promise.

When Mekkatorque heard this answer, there was a trace of excitement in his expression: "As expected, I did not misunderstand the person, and now I will tell you what this secret mission is.

"That is...to rescue Caesar Seratis.

"

"What... what?"

Although Lucas was mentally prepared and knew that this secret mission must be very important, he was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears.

Mekkatorque didn't continue speaking, but watched him, waiting for him to digest the weight of the sentence.

Lucas recovered from the shock, and there was a dense energy fluctuation in his body, which was a reaction similar to cold sweat.

After he calmed down, he asked in a deep voice, "General, that's the leader of the rebel army, the chief culprit who subverted civilization."

"Yes, that is his crime, but at the same time, he is also the key to stopping the civil war. If he is rescued and the royal power loyal to the rebel army has returned to the Holy Church, then naturally there will be no civil war." Mekkatorque explained .

After thinking for a moment, Lucas asked a sharp question: "If Caesar Seratis is rescued, who will sit on the throne of the temple? Is the general going to help Caesar Seratis onto the throne again?"

Mekkatorque hasn't actually thought it through yet, but he has a rule in his heart, saying: "I am loyal to the Holy Church, and the kingship recognized by the Holy Temple and Temple is orthodox.

"Caesar Celatis is a prisoner, even if he is rescued, he will have to go through the trial of the temple.

"As for what happens in the future, it's not my concern now.

"The most important thing now is to use his identity to recruit the rebels after rescuing Caesar Seratis.

"As long as the rebels surrender, the battle crisis of Andromeda α1024 will naturally be solved. When the 300,000 noble fleet enters the battlefield of Andromeda α001, we will hold the final victory of the war in our hands."

Lucas took a deep breath and said, "General, although stopping the civil war is a good reason, but if it's just to stop the civil war, then the general doesn't need to ask me to talk alone.

"The pope will not object to rescuing Caesar Celatis and coming back for trial, and it is entirely possible to follow the normal military mission method.

"Moreover, the general also said that this secret mission, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, I may be doomed, which shows that the relationship is complicated."

Mekkatorque was silent for a while after listening, then shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, you are indeed more suitable to be a general than I imagined, and the ghost fleet is not enough to display your talents.

"Now that you see something wrong with it, I'll tell you all about it."

As he said that, he showed Lucas the distress signal from Caesar Seratis.

After reading it, Lucas was even more shocked.

Because Caesar Celatis' decision turned out to be to overthrow the aristocratic system and establish a new civilization system.

This is equivalent to pushing the ruling class of the entire Palesian civilization into the river and subverting the entire civilization.

However, if Caesar Seratis really succeeds, then the Palesean civilization will enter a new era.

It is no longer the aristocratic class ruling civilization, infinitely oppressing the lower class.

At that time, the untouchables with certain talents like him in the bottom group can also get the rewards they deserve through hard work.

Unlike him, the nobleman who competed with him was obviously inferior to him in everything, but he almost squeezed out his position as the commander of the ghost fleet.

At this moment, Lucas finally understood why Mekkatorque chose him.

Because they are also from the lower class, it is possible to agree with Caesar Celatis' current ruling position, overthrow the aristocratic system, and establish a new civilization system.

However, no one knows what the consequences of doing so will be.

No one knows whether it will be the rebirth of Nirvana, or the division of civilization and the separatism of warlords.

The more Lucas thought about it, the more afraid he felt. This matter was far more complicated and dangerous than he thought at first.

Moreover, this danger does not come from the battlefield, but from the royal power.

After thinking for a long time, Lucas asked, "General, so you have made a decision to overthrow the aristocratic system and the current kingship?"

"I said at the beginning that I am loyal to the Holy Church. If His Majesty is willing to abolish the aristocratic system, open a new era of civilization, and recruit rebels, it will be the same. If Caesar Celatis is not recognized by the Holy Temple, then he Will still be judged," Mekkatorque replied.

Lucas knew what Mekkatorque meant.

If Saint Rhys Celatis is willing to overthrow the aristocratic system and establish a new era of civilization, then he can indeed achieve his goal.

However, the aristocratic system of the Palesean civilization is doomed, and the rule of the king and the aristocratic class are one.

Sitting in that position, Saint Rhys Celatis could not abolish the system that stabilized his kingship.

If the civilization system of the new era proposed by Caesar Seratis has the support of many low-level ethnic groups, it can indeed force Saint Rhys Celatis to make some concessions, but I want Saint Rhys Celatis to completely compromise , that is almost impossible.

The undercurrent in this matter is far more turbulent than the bright surface.

After a long silence, Lucas asked, "The general really thinks it through?"

"Yes." Mekkatorque replied in the affirmative.

"Okay. In such a complicated situation, if you continue to think about it, there will be no results. Now that the general has made a decision, I am willing to follow the general's order." Lucas threw away the complicated thoughts in his mind and decided to follow Mercator K's order is executed.

"Okay, this is the trajectory of the battleship where Caesar Seratis was imprisoned. Find him and bring him back."

Mekkatorque uses the word "bring" instead of "rescue", and there is a subtle difference.

"yes!"

Lucas took the order and went to perform the task.

...

six hours later.

The Lucas ghost fleet sent a distress signal along Caesar Seratis, found the destroyer, successfully rescued Caesar Seratis, and began to return, while sending a return message to Mekkatorque.

at the same time.

On the Shenzhou.

Zhao Anya whispered the report in Fang Yuan's ear: "The fish bit the hook."

"Okay, which direction the fish is going, let the battlefield approach." Fang Yuan said.

Immediately afterwards.

The battlefield of the decisive battle began to move in the direction of Lucas' ghost fleet returning.

Mekkatorque discovered this phenomenon and knew that humans had discovered that Caesar Seratis had been rescued, so they sent a fleet to intercept it.

In order to cover Lucas, he also ordered the fleet to follow up and hold back the human fleet.

Fang Yuan saw that Mekkatorque's fleet started to move, and said with a smile: "The big fish has also been hooked, let's proceed according to the original plan."

half an hour later.

Holy Church Star, Saint Reese Hall.

Duke Tuttle rushed into the hall, and without waiting for St. Reese to get angry, he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Mekkatorque is rebelling."

Saint Rhys Celatis heard this sentence, the energy of his body trembled, and asked: "What do you mean? He is on the battlefield, how can he rebel?!"

Duke Tuttle released a piece of information and hurriedly said: "The information just received, Mekkatorque went to rescue Caesar Seratis, he is indeed a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the loyalty he showed before was deceitful !"

"Impossible, he's in command of the fleet." Since Saint Rhys Seratis dared to let Mekkatorque lead the fleet, of course there was a way to monitor his actions.

Mekkatorque had never left the flagship, he was sure of that.

"Your Majesty, Mekkatorque sent Lucas, the new commander of the Ghost Fleet, to ensure that Lucas was the commander of the Ghost Fleet from the very beginning. This conspiracy started two years ago!" Duke Tuttle released the evidence.

Saint Rhys Celatis was furious after reading the evidence, and shouted: "Get me connected to the communication of Lucas' Ghost Fleet, I want to know where my fleet is!"

Half a minute later, the messenger replied hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Lucas Ghost Fleet has rejected the communication request."

Boom!

St. Rhys Celatis was furious, the energy in his body exploded with a muffled sound, and he shouted: "Invoke my authority to confirm the location of Lucas' ghost fleet!"

Soon, the location of Lucas' Ghost Fleet appeared on the star map.

That location was obviously not the originally planned location, plus the Lucas Ghost Fleet refused to communicate, as well as intelligence.

All the evidence combined yields only one result.

St. Rhys Celatis was furious, and ordered: "Tuttle, you go now, take over the position of fleet commander, and order Mekkatorque to come back to see me!"

"yes!"

Duke Tuttle took the order, turned around and rushed out of the hall, preparing to take over Mekkatorque's position and take charge of the Royal Fleet.

at the same time.

Saint Rhys Celatis sends a communication to the Mekkatorque flagship.

After the communication is connected.

Saint Rhys Celatis shouted directly: "Come back and see me!"

Mekkatorque's expression was not too turbulent.

In fact, ten minutes ago, he received a message from Lucas, learning that the Pope had sent a communication request to the Ghost Fleet, so he naturally knew that the rescue of Caesar Celatis had been discovered.

However, the speed of being discovered was a bit too fast.

Therefore, he thought of another possibility.

"Your Majesty, this is a human conspiracy." He directly expressed the speculation in his heart to Saint Reis Celatis.

"Is this your conspiracy?! Mekkatorque, I handed over the fleet to you, but you used it to plot rebellion! I have already asked Tuttle to command the fleet, come back to me! Before I completely deprive you of your army Before the level!" Saint Rhys Celatis roared.

Mekkatorque grimaced, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Tuttle is not good at commanding fleets. The battlefield is changing rapidly. I can't leave. After the battle, I will give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer."

"Go back and see me!" Saint Rhys Celatis roared again, unable to listen to Mekkatorque's explanation.
