Chapter 2259 Gambling Too Much!

On the outskirts of the sea of ​​stars far away from the stars in the Grain Rain Realm, the stellar radiation is so weak that it is almost non-existent. In the perennially dark and cold cosmic swamp, a bloody chase and killing is going on.

The remnants of the Guyu Fleet are like little panicked beasts, desperately trying to escape into the more distant, darker, and colder depths of the universe, and even desperately want to launch the Star Sea Jump to escape to other great worlds to which the Li family belongs.

The fastest destroyer of the Thunder Fleet is like sharp teeth, constantly tearing at the softest belly of the fugitives from all directions, tearing a series of terrifying wounds on the shell of their starship before the ripples of space shock appear around them , forcing them to stop the operation of the star sea jumping unit, reduce the regular cruising speed, and bite the bullet and get entangled with the pursuer.

Then, it was the turn of the Golden Vulture and other Giant God Soldiers to show their might.

Under the cover of his own fierce artillery fire, Li Yao drove the golden eagle into the starships of the remnants of Gu Yu's fleet time and time again. The ship-cutting knife was like a can opener, easily prying open layers of armor.

As long as the Golden Vulture gets inside the starship, almost no force can stop him from rampaging and killing all directions.

Li Yao didn't intentionally kill too many immortal cultivators, but he drove straight in. Using his deepest insight into starships, he directly destroyed the energy centers, dimming the colorful spiritual shields and power units of each starship. , completely lost combat effectiveness, and could only obediently be captured by the opponent.

The golden glow that appeared and disappeared from time to time became the greatest fear in the hearts of the remnants of the Guyu Fleet, and also the loudest cheers from the officers and soldiers of the Jinglei Fleet.

Under the powerful offensive of the Thunder Fleet and Li Yao's unstoppable attack, the remnant soldiers struggled weaker and weaker like a small beast dragged into a swamp by a crocodile.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a strange wave spreading through all the starships of the remnant soldiers, and all the starships of Guyu Fleet were surrounded by white and miserable light.

Even those starships that were about to leave the battle zone took the initiative to reduce their speed, and slowly turned off their spiritual shields and power units.

Li Yao, who was holding up the battleship knife and preparing to invade a new starship, squinted his eyes. After a while, he received the news from the rear that the Guyu Fleet and the Yushen Star ground forces had all surrendered. The attitude of the Li family was 180 degrees. Turn around, willing to support the just actions of the reformers, and jointly shout the "revolutionary empire"!

...

Thunder Fleet flagship "Iron Flow".

As the joint flagship of the third theater of the Expeditionary Force, Tie Liu carries three or five Colossus units all year round, and naturally has a well-equipped Colossus overhaul and maintenance center.

Li Yao's Golden Vulture temporarily uses the "Iron Stream" as its lair. After the fierce battle, it must be maintained here in the most comprehensive way, supplemented with ammunition and injected with new fuel, before it can be included in the Qiankun Ring.

As soon as he climbed out of the Giant God Soldier, he saw countless pairs of eyes looking at him in awe in all directions. No matter the Thunder Fleet or the dozens of other powerful men in the third war zone, they all had a deeper understanding of Li Yao, the "angel". With a first-level understanding, the glorious image of "Li Yao the Vulture" has finally been gradually erected.

Li Yao didn't have time to nod to the officers and soldiers, smile amiably, let alone overhaul the Giant God Soldiers, he was summoned by Lei Chenghu to discuss the next move.

However, when he came from Lei Chenghu's command room, he found that there was only Lei Chenghu in the command room, and there were no other commanders of the United Fleet who didn't even have a holographic projection.

"The Li family compromised, and won the first bet."

Lei Chenghu crossed his hands, fingers of flesh and steel overlapped together, his cold eyes passed over his hands, staring at Li Yaodao, "The latest news is that the current head of the Li family, one of the four major electors, is known as the 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande suffered a sudden serious illness and became unconscious, unable to handle family affairs at all. However, Li Mingxuan, the father of Her Royal Highness the Queen, took the place of Patriarch temporarily.

"Li Mingxuan just became the temporary head of the family, and immediately ordered the defenders of Gu Yujie to surrender, and expressed his deep understanding and absolute support for the reformists and our bloody officers and soldiers on the front line, and supported our call for justice.

"Whether you knew about this matter beforehand, what do you think?"

"ah?"

Li Yao blinked quickly, "The old head of the family, Li Jiande, is about to lose his head due to a sudden and serious illness, and the new head of the family is the Queen's father, and he announced full cooperation with the reformers as soon as he took office? This, this, is it that Her Highness the Queen is full of confidence?" The answer within the Li family is her father, Li Mingxuan, the 'Head of the Empire' of our empire? It feels a little weird!"

"You really don't know?"

Lei Chenghu carefully analyzed Li Yao's expression, slightly surprised, two thick eyebrows overlapped together, "It seems that Her Highness the Queen didn't tell you everything, this confidant!"

"I've said it all, I don't know Her Majesty the Queen very well, we're just ordinary friends, what kind of confidants are we?"

Li Yao scratched his chin and murmured, "I always feel that things are going too smoothly. We just called, and the old Patriarch was about to die. Her Royal Highness's father became the new Patriarch, and he has a lot of respect for the Li family. With such a strong control force, can all the defenders in the Grain Rain Realm surrender at once? This internal response is too... formidable, right?"

"Not the new Patriarch, but the temporary Patriarch."

Lei Chenghu knocked on the table and said, "I have something to remind you, the 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande, the oldest of the four major electors, is a well-known old man in the political arena of the empire. After resigning as Prime Minister of the Empire, it is said that he has been suffering from very serious health problems, and he is half dead all day long, lingering on his last breath.

"But after lingering for a hundred years, I didn't see him really die. On the contrary, all the old enemies in the past, as well as the enemies who jumped out one after another after coveting his position in the past hundred years, all died completely.

"There are even rumors that this old immortal has no serious illness at all, but has cultivated a special secret method, at the cost of his usual health and last life, in exchange for being able to maintain the terrifying state of being distracted at critical moments! "

Li Yao was shocked: "The distraction period!"

"That's right, after cultivating to the realm of Nascent Soul, in terms of strength and computing power, it has reached the limit of the human body. From the beginning of becoming a god, it has gradually broken through the limit of the word 'human', and is developing in the direction of legends and myths. The so-called 'distraction' is even more terrifying. The strongest immortal cultivator in the empire is in the realm of distraction. The 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande stands at the pinnacle of the entire empire's cultivation world. It's so strange, so sick to death at this time?"

Lei Chenghu carefully analyzed, "As for the 'Head of the Country', Li Mingxuan, to be honest, he is not an outstanding figure, his aptitude is just mediocre, and he is just an ordinary elder of the Li family. Hu's hands to snatch power? Even if he barely usurps the power, there is no reason to settle down with everyone in the Li family so quickly, and then order the Gu Yu fleet to surrender."

Li Yao rolled his eyes: "Understood, it's a puppet!"

"That's right, I guess nine out of ten times out of ten, Li Mingxuan is just a puppet pushed onto the table by 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande.

Lei Chenghu said calmly, with no expression on his face, "Now Li Jiande is pretending to be seriously ill, unconscious, and has lost power, and puts Li Mingxuan on the stage as a puppet, representing the Li family to fully support the reformers.

"Once the wave of innovation really sweeps across the entire empire, the Li family will naturally reap a lot of benefits, at least they can keep their current wealth and status.

"But if the momentum is not good and the fire of innovation is about to be extinguished, hmph, this 'unconscious' old fox will definitely jump out immediately and kill his own son Li Mingxuan and his granddaughter Li Linghai , on behalf of the Li family to 'put order out of chaos' and wipe out the reformists!

"In this way, if you stand in line at both ends and remain invincible, you will never lose money."

Li Yao thought for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded and said, "'Silver Fox' Li Jiande is indeed a good plan!"

"But Your Royal Highness, isn't the method even more clever?"

Lei Chenghu's gaze was firmly fixed on Li Yao's face, and he said quietly, "I have been guessing who the empress is hiding in Li's house, who has the skills and strength to challenge the 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande, and then Controlling the entire Li family? I didn't expect that the queen's internal response was actually Li Jiande himself, so naturally he could get the full support of the Li family in an instant.

"At that time, the situation was threatening, and every minute was on the verge of death, and there was no time to think about it carefully, but now that the overall situation has settled down, and after careful consideration, I found that the whole thing would not make sense. If the queen had already obtained Li Jiande's Support, there is no need to fight so fiercely in the Guyu world, and assuming that the queen did not get the support of Li Jiande, how could she do this in just half a day?

"I put myself in the role of the queen, after deliberation and repeated deduction, I finally came up with the only way, a way... which is exactly the same as my strategy in Shenwei Prison, but a hundred times more terrifying.

"Li Daoyou, have you thought about it?"

Li Yao's eyes seemed to be plunged into a deep pool of blood, and the bloody demon kept rolling in the depths of his brain.

After a while, there was a deep, deep shudder.

Lei Chenghu smiled like a ghost: "You thought of it too."

"I really don't know about this."

Li Yao said solemnly, "General Lei, please trust me."

"I trust you, and I trust my intuition even more."

Lei Chenghu took a deep breath and murmured, "My experience, rationality, and computing power all tell me that if I want to save the empire, the only way I can go is to cooperate with the queen; but my intuition is faintly reminding me I, Her Majesty the Queen, is an extremely terrifying person, so terrifying that she cannot be counted or even spied on. She is different from all immortal cultivators and even the four major electors. No one knows how she will eventually transform the empire, or even ... completely ruined the empire!

"Li Daoyou, although we haven't been together for a long time, and what you said is often ridiculous, but for some reason, my intuition actually tells me that many of what you said are true. On a certain level, you seem to be more Her Royal Highness herself is more trustworthy.

"I really want to know, if one day, your Royal Highness really gambled too much and might destroy the empire, where would you stand and what would you do?"
