Chapter 2433 In the Name of Innovation!
When the two "Supreme Human Empire Authorities" are about to collide head-on inevitably, there are still a large number of people from the four major elector families stranded in the imperial capitals firmly controlled by the reformists, the Extreme Heaven Realm and the Celestial Pole Star, or with them. The great aristocrats and the big business class who are inextricably linked.
After all, Tianjixing is the heart of the empire. Nobles and sects with a little strength will set up an office in the imperial capital to advocate their own interests. There are also many lobby groups attached to the Senate, including hundreds of institutions of higher learning. There are a large number of noble children studying.
Black Star Great Emperor Wu Yingqi's action speed was really too fast, almost within three days, he passed "Mo Yuan" Li Jianyi, "Broken Star Sword" Song Zhenzhen and other monsters who transformed into gods, and instigated several branches of the four major elector families Fleet, and launched a surprise attack on the aristocratic coalition forces stationed on the starry sky battle castles in various places in the extreme sky.
When the ignorant nobles woke up like a dream, the revolutionary fleet had firmly surrounded the atmosphere of the Celestial Star, and began to divide, surround and devour the remnants scattered in the vast star field of the Extreme Celestial Realm.
In this torrentially changing and turbulent month, the most popular sentence in the imperial capital is "in the name of the empire".
For the big aristocrats and the rich and merchants who are inextricably linked with the big aristocrats, this sentence is not hesitate to be their reminder.
"In the name of the empire, all the accounts and assets of the noble sect in the imperial capital will be frozen, and all of them will be used for military purposes. Please rest assured that after the great cause of reforming the empire is completed, the principal and interest will be returned to the noble sect!"
"In the name of the Empire, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, and in the name of all the citizens of the Empire, a holy verdict is now being executed on you, the shameless traitor who betrayed the Empire and human civilization. Go to hell, traitor!"
"In the name of the empire, in order to renovate the great cause of the empire, all the immortal cultivators of your family who have awakened their spiritual roots will be recruited to join this holy war. This is your supreme honor. Please come out and gather all the immortal cultivators on the list , come with us!"
Numerous royal guards, low-level cultivators, and young grassroots officers gathered together into a mighty torrent that overwhelmed everything, and ruthlessly wiped out the great noble forces entrenched in the imperial capital. Such murderous orders sounded all over the imperial capital every day.
For those wealthy families that have lasted for hundreds of years or even nearly a thousand years, all their assets were frozen and confiscated, and even the crystal stones, magic weapons, and natural and earth treasures privately owned by the family were washed out, and all the cultivators were forcibly taken away. After breaking up, they were tied to the reformist, that is, the chariot of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi.
For those relatively "obedient" nobles, the reformers will issue them a certificate stamped with the seal of the "Senate Reform Committee", solemnly promising them that when the reform is successful, they will return even a small amount of capital with interest. for them.
Of course, considering that these immortal cultivators were all sent to the most dangerous battlefield, I don’t know how many of them can survive the first three to five months. Even if the Reform Committee of the Senate really keeps its promise, who will inherit the property It's all unknown.
The situation is stronger than others. There are indeed many quick-thinking and ruthless nobles who insist on not wanting the certification documents of the Reform Committee of the Senate, but "donate" all their property to the "great cause of reforming the empire" in order to set things right as soon as possible. , to restore the glory of the empire thousands of years ago.
These aristocrats immediately became a model touted by the reformers. The children of the family were instantly transferred from the most dangerous cannon fodder troops to the relatively safe garrison and logistics troops. In the war of the imperial family, once the enemy is completely defeated, they will naturally have a share of the astronomical spoils.
All the wealth they lost today can be doubled back at that time.
Steering the rudder according to the wind is an innate skill of immortal cultivators.
After setting up a few models, the reformers quickly integrated most of the power of the nobles, large and small, in the imperial capital.
Of course, not all nobles who were trapped in the imperial capital were so wise and willing.
Many aristocrats are reluctant to part with the wealth they have accumulated through hundreds of years of hard work, and some even firmly do not believe that small reformers can succeed, but they are fighting against the Reform Committee of the Senate to the end.
They quickly tasted the taste of the iron fist of the reformers, and were deeply branded as traitors. Not only were all their properties confiscated, but all family members were also incorporated into death squads that escaped death.
Regardless of whether the four major elector families can make a comeback, even if there is a day to make a comeback, these families have long been razed to the ground, not even a speck of dust left.
Under the merciless crushing of the reformists, many nobles chose to flee with the remnants of the four major elector families.
Because the atmosphere has been firmly surrounded by the reformist fleet, and the dozens of starry sky battle castles guarding the imperial capital have all fallen into the hands of the reformers, almost no starships can force their way out of the atmosphere.
Any starship that acted recklessly was torn to pieces by the ferocious fire from the Star Warstorn shortly after it emerged from the atmosphere.
Even if it is not shredded, just torn off the outer shell, it is almost impossible to jump into the star sea if one does not want to be sucked into the storm of the four-dimensional space and annihilated into nothingness.
Then, if you want to escape from the imperial capital, there is only one way left.
First pass through the surface of Tianji Star, the super teleportation array similar to "Tianyuan Cannon" and "Blood Demon Eye", and randomly teleport to the periphery of the Jitian Realm, which is equivalent to skipping the fleet and starry sky battle castle surrounding the planet, and then start the starship itself Equipped with the star sea jumping system, he escaped in one go.
In the field of star sea jumping, there are still some real human empires that are hundreds of years ahead of the Xingyao Federation.
The Tianyuan Star of the Star Federation has only one super teleportation array called "Tianyuan Cannon", and the Blood Demon Star has only one "Blood Demon Eye". The super teleportation array exists.
These dozens of super teleportation arrays are equivalent to more than a dozen precious escape routes, and have helped countless nobles and remnants escape from the imperial capital in the past month.
But of course they were also the first targets of the reformers. After a month of fierce fighting, they fell into the hands of the reformers one after another.
To this day, only the last super teleportation formation is still in the hands of the four major elector families, known as the "Spirit Peak Tunnel".
This is a super teleportation array with a rather peculiar structure. Most of the structures are built in a rolling, towering mountain range. It is like digging a spiral tunnel inside the mountain. The starship enters the mountain from the foot of the mountain. , continuously accelerating on the crystal track of the spiral tunnel, and finally whizzing out from the giant hole on the top of the mountain, it can tear the void, jump out of the encirclement of thousands, and appear at any point in the vast star field outside the extreme sky.
This towering mountain range is called the Lingfeng Mountain Range, hence the name "Lingfeng Tunnel".
It can be seen from the structure hidden deep in the mountain that this super teleportation array was designed with the military super teleportation array with the highest defense level from the beginning.
Relying on the entire Lingfeng mountain range, I don’t know how many fixed firepower points, light and dark battle fortresses, underground arsenals and anti-aircraft artillery positions have been built, and the mountain has been reinforced layer by layer with countless defensive arrays, even if it is carpet bombed, the entire mountain will be flattened. , and may not be able to harm the super teleportation array inside.
After hundreds of years of development, a large city named "Lingfeng City" was built at the foot of the mountain. Most of the residents were members of the four major elector families stationed in the imperial capital. Their attitude towards the so-called "Senate Reform Committee" can be imagined. Know.
When all the strongholds in the imperial capital fell to the hands of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, the Lingfeng Tunnel became the only isolated island with a light of hope in the storm of innovation.
All the nobles who longed to escape from the imperial capital gathered here one after another, while scrambling to board the starship, get into the tunnel, and escape.
The army of reformists followed and surrounded Lingfeng City and the Lingfeng Tunnel from the sky, the ground, and the underground. flag.
But the progress of the war was not as smooth as expected.
The special terrain of the Lingfeng Tunnel and the composition of the residents of Lingfeng City are certainly one aspect, but more importantly, there are too many nobles gathered here from all directions.
This small city is very likely to be the capital of the empire, no, it is the place with the largest number of immortal cultivators per unit area of the entire empire.
The swords of the old aristocrats, like the spikes of a hedgehog, stabbed at the sky brightly, making the reformers feel at a loss.
It is common sense in the art of war to encircle three queries and one. At this moment, even if the reformers have the ability to seal the Lingfeng Tunnel, they dare not do so rashly. The casualties were heavy, and the losses outweighed the gains.
Now, the forces of the reform faction are basically composed of three major groups.
First, the backbone of the deep-sea fleet. These people have no problem with their combat effectiveness and loyalty, but the number is too small to be wasted in unnecessary sieges.
The second is the Royal Forest Army, which is extremely numerous, and their morale and loyalty are quite high. However, their training and combat effectiveness are a bit insufficient.
The third is the noble army that has just surrendered. Its combat effectiveness is not a problem, but its loyalty is doubtful.
In the reform faction, there is still such a thought that the "Spirit Peak Tunnel" can send out starships every day. It would be a pity to kill all the valuable talents. If they can be persuaded to surrender, the relative strength of the two sides will be the same as the other, which is naturally the best.
Therefore, the "Battle of the Lingfeng Tunnel" dragged on for nearly a month without ending. When Li Yao and his party finally arrived at the Lingfeng Mountain Range, the entire mountain range was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke!
