Chapter 565 Game of Thrones (Part 1)
After Nehemiah disconnected, Emma sent a message, and the central unit of the General's Mansion relayed Kylinia's words and wanted to meet him.
Thinking of what happened in "Arumega", it should be time for her to make a second request.
first request...
Harrington had died at her gunpoint.
To be honest, he was not very concerned about the entanglement between Kyrenia and Harrington, but he was a little embarrassed.
When I saw Claire's shadow in her back then, it must be because the two had similar childhood experiences and similar hatred towards Kirkcraft I.
Kyrenia was born in a noble family, and Claire was born in a commoner family, but when disaster struck, facing the towering giant mountain weighing on their hearts, there was no difference, like the mountain mist surrounding the giant mountain, so fragile.
Taking the shuttle back to the General's Mansion, Zhou Ai was standing with Kyrenia on the devastated tarmac waiting for him to return.
It was completely dark, only the fallen ruins and the curling smoke were still quietly telling the starry sky about the battle more than an hour ago.
Kyrenia's face was a little dirty, because the tear stains were a little dusty during the drying process, making her look a little more smoky, and she was no longer the quiet, peaceful woman like the moon in the central unit.
Of course, she is Kyrenia now, not Susan, a warrior who bears a bloody feud, not the dumb girl the Duke likes.
Dreams will eventually wake up, and the play will always end.
Zhou Ai's expression was a bit complicated. I don't know if it was sympathy for Kylinia's experience, or lamenting the troubled times and the difficult love life. Or something else.
She was only 7 years old 16 years ago, and now she doesn't remember the specific situation at that time. She only remembers that her father's work and rest were very irregular. Sometimes he would go out before dawn, and sometimes he would not say a word after returning. Sitting behind the rosewood desk and thinking about things quietly without being disturbed by anyone, often sitting like that all night.
And her grandfather Zhou Hanlin left "Zirog" for a long time, so long that she drew nearly a hundred consecutive "positive" characters in her diary before seeing her grandfather whom she had been thinking about day and night again. It was white before.
She had asked him naively at the time. Why is my hair so gray? Could it be that my grandfather dyed his hair before?
Zhou Hanlin just smiled and didn't say much, he just told her that she would know when she grew up.
She was thinking at the time that she could understand many things when she grows up, but "growing up" is a very distant thing no matter how you look at it.
Now. When she grew up, she felt that the so-called "distant" was so short, as fast as a glimpse.
Just like what Zhou Hanlin said, she grew up, learned a lot, learned a lot, and also knew why her grandfather's hair turned gray in more than a year.
But... She would rather not know, would rather not grow up.
What happened to Kyrenia touched her deeply. If Zhou Hanlin had made another choice back then, what would have happened to the Zhou family? What will happen to her? Can you survive such chaos?
...and she was 7 years old!
If she survives by chance, what will happen to her fate? What will life be like in the future? Like Kyrenia? Still not the same?
She thought of a very famous woman in Chinese history --- Shangguan Wan'er.
Shame and helplessness. Disloyalty and unfilial piety and amazing talent...but I don't know what the mental journey of that woman is.
Tang Fang got off the shuttle, and his leather boots stepped on the gravel and debris on the ground, making a beeping sound, which was especially loud in the quiet night.
Claire came from near the energy warehouse, and Tang Lina knew that Tang Fang was on the tarmac, so she rushed over to meet her without stopping.
Zhou Ai looked at Kyrenia. He looked at Claire who was walking quickly behind him, and finally turned his gaze to his face. He sighed lightly, not knowing what was on his mind.
Tang Fang has good ears. Hearing a sigh, he turned to look at her.
Her face could not be seen clearly in the night, only her hair swaying gently in the breeze, and the look of sadness on her side face.
He thought about it, and felt that maybe she was influenced by the story of Kyrenia and Harrington, reflecting on herself, and feeling sad about the relationship between the three of them.
Zhou Ai's character is not like this. Compared with the indecisive and delicate girl, she should be more decisive, stronger, and more daring to love and hate.
If she hadn't returned to "Zirog" after escaping from planet 5, if there hadn't been Claire, perhaps, the two of them would have been together instead of being connected like they are now.
"Where's Freya? You left her alone on the Seraph?"
Before Kyrenia could speak, Claire asked first. On the one hand, she didn't know that Kylinia had an appointment with him; The "Rhodnia" military port terminal is carrying out the supply of zero energy.
"Seraphim" is not an ordinary man-made battleship. Its energy supply is entirely dependent on zero elements.
Tang Fang looked away from Zhou Ai's face, touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "You mean Freya...she accidentally fell asleep on the Seraph."
When he left the "Seraphim", he left a fanatic on standby. Through the shared vision, he found that Freya did not follow his instructions to drive the battleship to "Rhodnia", but leaned on the He fell asleep on the seat in the cockpit that could be used as a bed for a human body, and his lips moved from time to time, making one wonder if he was dreaming of some delicious food.
Only he doesn't think so... The girl is wearing a lavender miniskirt on her upper body. Because she slept dishonestly, the skirt is wrinkled up, revealing a smooth and white belly without a trace of fat. thing.
The Winnie the Pooh briefs that Tang Yun gave her to satisfy her wicked taste were randomly thrown on the ground, and there was a pair of rolled black stockings not far away, and its partner was on the armrest of the seat, hanging down a long cut.
It turned out that the little girl fell asleep after she left... she didn't even put on any clothes, she just fell asleep with her bare butt... like a cute, capricious child who didn't grow up.
How the war is going for her. Who will win and who will lose? These are all unimportant, this is a luxurious and expensive two-flying vacation, enough fun, tired of playing, and naturally fall asleep. Lazy as an idle cat, simple as a contented pig, the cockpit became their bed for both of them.
"Where is the 'Seraphim' now? It's been so long and there's no news, should someone be sent over there to check and make sure nothing happens?"
"Don't bother. I just contacted the people on the Seraph. That girl exhausted too much energy in the battle just now, and she is sleeping on it right now. Let her have a good rest and don't bother her."
How dare he let people go to the "Seraphim". If people know what happened in the cockpit, where will Captain Tang's face be?
Claire was relieved when she heard that, and gave him an annoyed look, and said, "Freya's physical condition has just improved, so you let her pilot the 'Seraphim', such a big battleship, just the two of you will control it. Is she not tired?"
Tang Fang couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I'm still tired."
Claire said, "You are a man!"
He was speechless.
The conversation between the two seemed very serious. A gentle and good girl, a big talkative boy.
In fact, only Tang Fang himself knows, if combined with the actual situation. The content of the conversation between the two is definitely ambiguous.
Freya is very tired, but she is not tired from fighting at all, she is...
Thinking about it carefully, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as "fighting" or "fighting". After all, everything needs strength, not to mention that she was working hard the whole time... But. It's not a lie that I'm tired, sore legs are unavoidable.
Finish Freya's affairs. He walked up to Kyrenia and said, "You want to see me? It's about the second request, right?"
He didn't say much about Harrington Harris. Because he is not good at rubbing salt in women's wounds.
He was the one who sent the Evil Night Army into hell, and he captured "Arumega". Without him, Harrington would not have been reduced from a prince to a prisoner. If these things hadn't happened, Kylenia might have Still living in the self-woven dream named "Susan", continue to live with guilt and happiness.
But if the Eye Army does not join forces, "Mubarak" can at least exist for a while.
If Harrington Harris wasn't the Duke of the Sulu Empire, he wouldn't be her enemy, and if the two weren't enemies, they wouldn't have developed such a wrong love and a bad relationship.
So, all this is helpless and sad.
Many people call it destiny!
He believes that a woman like Kylinia has a very mature outlook on right and wrong and life, and will not feel that she killed their man like those little girls who are ignorant of the world, because "Susan" is dead, and Susan's Life is a dream full of contradictions and guilt.
She is Kyrenia now, a poor woman with a bloody vendetta.
"I want you to help me find Butterfield."
She spoke softly, without raising her head, her eyes fell on Tang Fang's military uniform, perhaps because she felt familiar, yet unfamiliar, it brought back memories of her childhood.
Familiar because of its style, not familiar because the national emblem on his chest has been torn off by him.
That is not his country, it is just a private plot of a few people, and the people of Monya are just slaves, animals, not even citizens.
"Butter Ferry?" He was not surprised by Kyrenia's second request, but he didn't know where Butter Ferry Stuart was at this time.
According to Emma’s information collected by the Star Alliance media, the government and other channels, Bart Ferry Stewart sacrificed his escort fleet in exchange for a chance to escape. Subtle changes have taken place in the attitude towards Butterfly.
In countries like the Star Alliance and the Charles Federation, because the people have similar understandings of faith, life, and dignity, there will be no such thing as interests overriding conscience in some respects.
It's like those old foxes in the Star Alliance Council calculating "Morning Star Casting", the purpose is more to make the Star Alliance more powerful, not to be bullied by outsiders, so that the people can stand tall, straighten their spines, and get what life itself should have Respect, not out of primitive and barbaric personal interests, thinking about gaining political capital, adding officials and titles to leave history.
However, it is different in centralized countries such as the Mongya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Sauron Empire, and the Republic of Date. Everything is measured by connecting and connecting with interests. Between top and bottom, between classes, between groups, personal views. Even between relatives... everything is based on interests. People can only see interests and benefits. They pay attention to devotion and returns in everything they do. Looking at all the behaviors and measures of countries such as the Charles Federation and the Star Alliance, No matter good or bad, I feel that they must do it because of profit. Conspiracy is evil and shameless.
It's like treating Butterfly, who used to be a good honey, but when His Royal Highness, who was most likely to sit on the throne of the emperor, lost in that political tsunami. The saber-toothed tiger turns into a soft-footed cat, and the previous promises and friendships disappear like a passing cloud.
Of course, this is not to say that Butterfly has no use value, on the contrary, the use value is higher.
In the situation where civil strife is rampant in Monya, the princes are renounced, and the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic send troops to "Gampna" to point their swords at "Celtic".
If you can hold Butterfly in your hands, send troops to Monya at the critical moment. It is believed that the only end for Kirkcraft I is the downfall. At that time, the big fat sheep of the Monya Empire will not be slaughtered by them?
But before that. It would take some effort to get rid of Butterfly's minions. Those in the escort fleet are all his confidantes, and they will become hidden dangers in the future and must be eliminated.
As for how to eliminate them, it can also take care of the face of both parties, so that they won't fall apart. So the wise Duke of Harrington offered a trick, or read a poem, like Zaire Abdul. In the "Seven Steps Poem" written by Cao Zhi, a famous talent in the Han and Wei Dynasties of China, he believed that "Treating comrades should be as warm and loving as spring breeze. Treating enemies should be as ruthless as winter." His Majesty the emperor who said this sentence must be able to understand the meaning of the poem.
So, in order to survive, Butterfield had no choice but to sell his loyal escort fleet in exchange for his chance to escape, which led to the tragic massacre and resulted in Kyrenia's tragic life.
After paying the price of blood and fleeing to the Sulu Empire, according to the plan of both parties, the Sulu Empire will wait for the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic to gain a firm foothold in the "Gampna" theater or completely occupy the area. Pushed to the front of the stage, he joined forces with the United Kingdom of Turanx to send troops to Mongya, which made Kirklaf I sad from head to toe, and went to perish under internal and external troubles.
However, something unexpected happened to the Sulu Empire. After Kirklaf came to power, he carefully directed a scene. He abolished the queen who had been with him through thick and thin, and married one of the core power families of the Date Republic—— -----The second daughter of the head of the "Caesar" family took this opportunity to board the ship of the Date Republic and the Sauron Empire.
The territory of the Republic of Date and the Sauron Empire does not border the Mongya Empire. If you want to tear the flesh from the "big fat sheep" like the plan of the Sulu Empire, you must cross the Charles Federation, or the Dolanx Republic, or Turan This is naturally impossible. Therefore, they can only watch helplessly as the four countries carve up the delicious fat sheep labeled "Monya".
If I can't eat delicious food by myself, I will certainly not be reconciled to watching others eat with oily mouth and nose. More importantly, if the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic really subvert the Monya Empire, the strong economic strength of the two countries can quickly digest Monya, and then bring about the improvement of the overall national strength, which will threaten the entire Hillenbel The power structure of the region poses a serious threat to their rule.
Since there is no benefit to be gained, it is better to muddy the water. Therefore, the Date Republic agreed to Kerclough I's marriage request, and then joined forces with the Sauron Empire to make small moves behind the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic, dragging them down, and revealing a dark secret to the outside world. Message, "It's enough for you to take advantage of the "Gampuna" area, and accept it when you see it, otherwise, be careful of our sunflowers and chrysanthemums."
As a result, the offensives of the Charles Federation and the Republic of Dolanx were frustrated, and the United Kingdom of Turancus was also afraid of being poked into the back door by the Republic of Date and the Sauron Empire due to internal differences, and also put out their plans to send troops, leaving only Sulu The imperial family is neither advancing nor retreating, nor is it reconciled.
The so-called hurting the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, Zaire Abdul doesn't want to risk his vitality to attack the Monya Empire, in case the war is in full swing and is copied by other forces That would be great fun.
Things have developed to this point, and the crisis of subjugation in Monya can be said to have been eliminated. Kerclough I used his decisiveness, iron fist, keen insight and excellent communication skills to eliminate an external storm that could overthrow Monya. Take a fight and disappear into the invisible. Next, in conjunction with his superficial bloody suppression of the Garcia Rebels and other uprising forces, it was actually a wake-up call to the ambiguous princes inside, setting an example military policy, and using political means such as the combination of grace and power, and the binding of interests and crimes. The princes everywhere had to accept the fact that he became the wearer of the "Celtic" holy sword, the emperor of Mengya.
At the same time, Kirkcraft I implemented a high-pressure rule in the country, and all kinds of protests and movements of the people were brutally suppressed, and then re-adjusted the distribution of power and the state structure, purging the former emperor and Butterfield who relied on nepotism and crony connections when they gained power. The high-ranking officials and aristocrats who held important positions in the middle school were replaced by people he trusted. From then on, he stabilized the domestic chaos and gradually became the well-deserved emperor of Mengya.
It has to be said that Kirkclough Stewart is a very capable person. It may be an exaggeration to describe him as "talented and general", but it is undeniable that he has superhuman political talent when it comes to being emperor. (to be continued)
