The sparse starlight at night shone on the main hall of the Kailepu Palace. The brightly lit palace formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding low-rise residential areas. The RVs of the princes and ministers were also brightly lit at this time, as if they were scattered lights shining through a dead sea. The gate of the palace inlaid with various gems had been closed early, and only the arched bridge carved with various monsters stood there alone. From time to time, pairs of guards on night watch walked neatly through here, and their footsteps carried far away in the silent night. The slanting shadows under the lights were like ghosts appearing at the end of the world.
In the bedroom at the back of the main hall, there was no singing and dancing in the past. King Druk and Princess Feili were sitting on the bed with sad expressions on their faces. Time can make people become exquisite and peaceful, and it can also make all things beautiful and pure. But the time at this time brought endless anxiety to King Druk and Princess Philip. They all knew very well that the Demonic Ape Empire was heading toward war step by step, and their originally quiet and peaceful lives would most likely be completely destroyed by this war. Perhaps all the people in the Demon Ape Empire will bid farewell to that peaceful life and have to bear the heavy burden of war. The light of dawn has not appeared yet, only the deathly silent night is whimpering gently in the wind.
Ever since the Demon Ape Empire decided to send troops to Proxima C, the streets and alleys were filled with anti-war sentiments. Some civilians even flocked to the palace from the streets and alleys, shouting anti-war slogans. Driven by groups of imperial guards, fierce conflicts broke out between civilians and imperial guards, and the air in the entire Demon Ape Empire became extremely tense. King Druk is not an arrogant person. At this time, he has realized that the rule of the empire is constantly shaking. Princess Philip is firmly opposed to this war. She is a kind and great person. In the hearts of the civilians of the Demon Ape Empire, the princess is more like their great mother. Faye Wong is a gentle and kind-hearted woman who is deeply disturbed by the decisions her husband has made. At this time, he was persuading King Druk, who now had a melancholy look on his face. They were waiting for the arrival of General Buck. General Buck will bring him the latest news from the front, which is crucial for him to make the right decision on the next step.
"King, I don't understand something. Why must we launch this expedition? This will bring everyone in the empire into the disaster of war." Princess Felipe said.
"My princess, the entire empire is currently in the midst of a natural disaster. We must find new Earth-like planets for large-scale migration. If the entire empire continues to live in natural disasters, the empire will inevitably perish."
"The king is right to search for new Earth-like planets, but there is no need for us to attack a planet with a sovereign nation like Proxima Centauri C. This is an unjust war."
"Princess, my original intention was not to attack Proxima C. I just wanted to establish a military base on Proxima C to better explore other planets in the Centauri. It was Marshal Berg who always encouraged me to launch this attack. War, I am also well aware of the dangers of this war. But if we can capture Proxima C in one fell swoop as he said, we will save a lot of trouble during the large-scale immigration, and we can immigrate all the residents of our empire to Proxima On star c."
"King, have you not considered how many people this war will bring disaster to? Our army traveled a long distance to invade a sovereign country. This is an unjust war. Once the war fails, the country will fall into turmoil, and perhaps the entire Demon Ape Empire will fall apart and cease to exist.”
"Princess, I have already considered this, and the consequences are indeed very serious. But now I can't make up my mind whether to stop Berg from launching this war. A long time ago, we once launched a war on Proxima C, and in the end we failed Perhaps it was a punishment from God. The Cook Island where we now live has become the dark place it is now. This war greatly weakened our strength. After that war, we once surrendered to the Republic of Carter. We asked them to divide a continent for us, but they refused. So we fought another war with them, which ended in defeat. In the end, the two sides were separated in the middle of the Ladaga Sea. A peace agreement of non-aggression was signed.”
"King, have you considered talking to Chairman Schulte of the Carter Republic? It's been a long time now. Maybe the Carter Republic will lend a helping hand to the current situation we are in. I want to see In your lifetime, you can lead all the residents of the Demon Ape Empire to the path of light, instead of living in a dark time and space similar to hell."
"Princess, regarding the territorial issue, I don't think Schulte will compromise. Territorial issues that are difficult to resolve through war can be easily succeeded through peaceful negotiations."
"King, I think you are wrong. What is difficult to obtain with war does not mean that it cannot be obtained with peace negotiation. Maybe peace negotiation will achieve better results than war. I think you should visit the Republic of Carter and talk to Schulte Chairman, let’s have a good talk and divide us a continent near the Dickli continent with enough light and water resources suitable for the survival of our empire. I think the McPlain in the east of the Dickli continent is very suitable for us. McPlain is far away from us. It's very close. Although it belongs to the Carter Republic, it is a peripheral area to the Carter Republic."
"My princess, do you think Schulte will agree to divide McPlain to us? I think it will be difficult for him to meet our request. Once McPlain is given to us, our army will be far away from the Carter capital Trado Getting closer will pose a direct threat to Trado."
"My king, we can absolutely promise to Chairman Schulte that we will not station troops on McPlain. Our purpose is to immigrate the Demon Ape civilians there so that the poor people can have a better life. We can even make a commitment with Chairman Schulte. They have long-term non-garrison agreements and peaceful development agreements.”
"Princess, even if it is what you said, it is very difficult to get the land of Mike Plains from Chairman Schulte of the Carter Republic. I don't think I have the ability to negotiate peacefully with Chairman Schulte. Can you personally What about visiting the Carter Republic? I think Chairman Schulte has a better impression of you than me. Maybe you can really solve the current living situation of our demon ape civilians."
"Okay, King, I will visit the Carter Republic on your behalf. I must ask Chairman Schulte to allow us to cross the Radega Sea to McPlain, where we will build a new city for the civilians of the Demon Ape. At the same time, I will also ask Chairman Schulte to work with us to reach an agreement to jointly explore the peaceful development of space, to search for Earth-like planets, and to prepare for our future immigration."
"My kind princess, you will definitely get the support of the Demon Ape Guardian God, and we will lead all the residents of the Demon Ape Empire towards the light."
"King, we are now rashly preventing Berg from launching a war against neighboring C. Will Marshal Berg launch a mutiny? I think you should take countermeasures in advance. It is better to appoint him as the chief minister to negotiate with the Carters. In While Berg and I are going to negotiate with the Carter Republic, take the opportunity to take back all the military power in his hands. During this period of demonstrations by civilians in the Demon Ape Empire, I have investigated that the main messenger behind the scenes is Berg. Why did he do this? On the one hand, he encourages you to launch a full-scale war on Proxima C, but on the other hand, he encourages the civilians to launch riots. This must be because he wants to overthrow the rule of the Demon Ape Empire and finally ascend to the throne of the King of the Demon Ape Empire."
"My princess, I have noticed him for a long time, and I am considering how to weaken his military power. Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to weaken his military power when he left the Demon Ape Empire for Proxima C. At present, this The situation seems to be impossible. If he arrives at Proxima C, he will definitely establish a dictatorial government there. If this is my case, maybe he will return to attack our Demon Ape Empire directly after taking a short rest. So I think now, if he can go with you to the Carter Kingdom to meet Chairman Schulte, you can gradually weaken his military power during this period, and make him the Prime Minister after he returns to the Demon Ape Empire. In this way, he It doesn't matter if he is only responsible for the economic development and military aspects of the Demon Ape Empire. I just don't know if he is willing to go to the Carter Republic. If I order him to go to the Carter Republic, he will most likely rebel immediately."
"My king, whatever is supposed to come will come, it is inevitable. My king, do you understand the principle of playing hard to get? Now if you want him to show his fox's tail quickly, the best way is to indulge him. Buck now He has returned to the Demonic Ape Empire from Proxima C. He wants to see you, so I asked him to wait outside the main hall. Along with Buck, there are Ministers Kalik and Minister Hela who want to see you. I will send another of Berg's men to see you. The two generals Anton and Kant also called in at the same time. We not only need to understand the situation on the front line of the war, but also study how to deal with Berg. Only the peaceful development of the universe and the joint development of the righteous forces in the universe can lead us to the light. We must give up the idea of dictatorship and colonizing other Earth-like planets.”
"Princess, please wake them up."
"King, they have been waiting outside the hall for a long time. They must have something important to tell you."
Princess Feili called the messenger, and the messenger received the order. He quickly ran out of the hall, and soon Buck, Kalik, Hela, Anton, Kant, and Xiang walked in.
"Dear King Druk, Princess Feili. Hello." Several people said in unison and bowed.
"Okay, all of you, please sit down. This is not in the main hall of the palace, this is in my bedroom. There is no need for too many etiquette. You must have something important to come to the palace so late, right?" De King Rook said.
"Dear King, Princess, I have brought back news from the front line." Buck returned to the Demon Ape Empire urgently to report the dangerous military situation of Proxima Centauri C to King Druk.
"General Buck, what is the current military situation of Proxima Centauri C? If the army under your leadership goes to war with the Shadow Army and the Wallon Army, will it be sure of victory?" King Druk asked.
"King, what we are facing now is no longer the Shadow Army and the Walloon Army, but the Shadow Army, the Walloon Army, the Earth's Interstellar Peace Army and the allies of the Cross Cult. If we start a war with them at this time, we will It is very likely to be defeated. And I heard that the Carter Republic has deployed a large number of troops on our border. The Conch battleship and the Eagle battleship have arrived in the Ladaga Sea, and the Dickley aircraft carrier has also arrived at the same time. Proxima Centauri c Once a war breaks out, these battleships and aircraft carriers are very likely to attack us under the command of Marshal Walker. At the same time, our satellite James shows that the Carter Republic's battleships Qiongjiang and Temar River are urgently adjusting their defenses and seem to be sending troops. Proxima Centauri C." General Buck answered the question raised by King Drucker truthfully.
"General Buck, if this is the case, does it make any sense for us to launch this war in the Proxima Galaxy? In the end, it will be our entire empire that suffers heavy losses. Is there anything you can do to stop this war?" Princess Philip From the bottom of her heart, she disapproved of this war. Now that the war situation was so severe for the Demon Ape Empire, she was extremely opposed to the outbreak of this war.
"King Druk, Princess Feili. I have negotiated with Chairman Goth of the Proxima C National Council and Master Peter of the Cross Church. Chairman Goth means to let us join their peaceful development and exploration of the universe. Alliance to avoid the outbreak of interstellar war. Due to the emergency, I had to quickly return to the palace to report to you the real situation there." General Buck said.
"General Buck, while you are away from Proxima C, won't the allies of the National Committee attack our Skull City military base?" King Drucker subconsciously felt that the Skull City military base is now very dangerous.
"Dear King and Princess, I have reached an agreement with Chairman Goth. During the period when I leave Proxima Centauri C, their troops will not attack our military targets. But the interstellar Peace Corps of the Earth's humans is constantly arriving. Proxima Centauri C Fire Cloud Island military base, so now I need the king and princess to make a quick decision." General Buck was anxious, as the Skull City military base may be wiped out once a war breaks out.
"Buck, let's do this first. I want to hear the opinions of Minister Kalik and Hela."
"Kalik, what do you think of this war?" King Druk said.
"Dear King, we must resolutely prevent the occurrence of this war. This war will bring a major blow to our economy, especially the impact on maritime trade, and will put our national economy into an unsustainable situation. Once Our war with the Carter Republic will expose us to enemies from both sides. I have persuaded Marshal Berg more than once, but Marshal Berg insists on going his own way, and his bellicose ideas are very dangerous to the future of the entire country." Kalik knew deeply. , if this war breaks out, it will seriously damage the country's economic foundation.
Will General Buck successfully persuade King Druk and Princess Feili to stop this war? Will King Druk lead the Demon Ape subjects to the path of light? The interstellar war continues.
