Certainly, here’s the translation following your guidelines:
—
The chaotic footsteps echoed in the empty corridors of the Imperial Palace.
Yang Ming and General Fremont walked ahead with a dozen officers, while Princess Dana and her team followed closely behind.
Emily, shadowing Yang Ming closely, seed to have regained her composure and was pondering what Yang Ming ant by the “truth.”
At the palace gate, two rows of chanical Guards stood with guns in hand.
Fremont reached out to stop Yang Ming, “Their status seems off, the safeties on the laser guns are disengaged… they’ve been instructed to shoot at any ti.”
Yang Ming seed not to hear, stepping forward two ters alone.
Emily wanted to follow but was protected behind by General Fremont.
“Please stop!”
The two chanical Guards spoke simultaneously, their electronic voices slightly sharp,
“Without His Majesty’s order, intruders will be treated as assassins.”
Yang Ming continued forward.
The chanical Guards adopted a shooting stance simultaneously.
The officers behind Yang Ming drew their laser pistols, aiming at the True Son’s Brain of the chanical Guards.
“Don’t be nervous,” Yang Ming said slowly, “aim at the head of the guard next to you, and disable your own Protection Shield.”
The officers behind remained perplexed.
The chanical Guards at the gate turned individually, aiming the barrels of their laser guns at the True Son’s Brain of the guard next to them.
Yang Ming said, “Fire.”
Swish! Swish swish!
The two rows of chanical Guards simultaneously pulled their triggers, resulting in conspicuous holes appearing on their heads, each holding their guns as their heads drooped; the silver-white tal skeletons still stood firmly, while the True Son’s Brain emitted smoke and ceased operation.
Yang Ming turned and winked at Emily, “A bit of a magic trick.”
“Please wait here, I’ll go in first to take a look.”
“Yang Ming!”
General Fremont frowned and said,
“Inside are several hundred chanical Guards, set to obey only His Majesty’s orders… Maybe they’ll also follow your instructions, how did you do it?”
“It’s magic,” whispered Emily from the side.
Yang Ming almost laughed.
Of course, it was the chanical Goddess, nad Lyu, who was secretly controlling these chanical Guards.
Yang Ming moved straight forward, pushing open the palace gate under everyone’s watchful gaze and went inside.
After about half a minute, Yang Ming opened the palace door and called out, “Princess Dana, General Fremont, Princess Emily, please follow
inside, His Majesty wants to et with you.”
The nad three showed varying degrees of hesitation.
Emily was the first to move forward, with Fremont following closely, and Princess Dana gently bit her lip, only to hasten towards the palace gate upon seeing Emily approach.
“General!”
An officer called out uneasily.
General Fremont turned back and said, “Await orders, His Majesty is summoning us.”
“Yes, General!”
The middle-aged officer answered in a low voice.
It was clear they had guessed what might happen today.
But now, this Major Yang Ming, regarded as a hero by the military, seed to have taken full control, which left them sowhat baffled about the situation.
Once the palace gate was opened, it was tightly closed again by Yang Ming.
Inside the chamber.
Five hundred chanical Guards stood quietly.
They had already discarded their laser rifles, hands folded behind as if waiting for inspection.
The Old Emperor sat on the throne with closed eyes, wearing a crown on his head, resting both hands on a decorative tal longsword, and behind him lay a casually discarded tangle of electronic circuits.
Princess Dana looked on in disbelief and asked in a low voice, “How did you do it?”
“A bit of a virus,” Yang Ming said, “These chanical Guards acquired from the Sherman Empire all had remote-control backdoor programs installed, and their True Son’s Brain structures are relatively simple, re cannon-fodder-level products, only aesthetically pleasing.”
Princess Dana gazed intently at the figure on the throne.
Emily asked, “So, what is the truth you ntioned?”
Yang Ming sighed, “Let
show you. For the Luofeng Empire, it can only be described as a nominal disgrace, no tangible harm. The Emperor can wake up now.”
As his words fell, the Old Emperor opened his eyes, a faint red light flickering in his pupils.
With a hint of fear, Emily hid behind Yang Ming.
“Viscount Yang Ming? Fremont?”
The Old Emperor squinted at Princess Dana, his expression quickly turning stern, his nostrils twitching slightly,
“Very good! You have captured this damned woman! You both have rendered great service! Bring Dana here! To !”
Yang Ming clasped his hands behind his back, his eyelids lowered, while Fremont stood still beside him.
“Guards!”
The Old Emperor shouted.
The chanical Guards did not power on.
“Major Yang Ming!”
Propping himself up with a tal knight sword, the Old Emperor stood up, his eyes glimring with a hint of red,
“I order you to restrain the woman behind you! She attempted to assassinate , to assassinate the most esteed Emperor of the Luofeng Empire!”
Yang Ming suddenly asked, “Your Majesty, what is your understanding of imperial power?”
“Impe… Silence! You only need to follow my command!”
The Old Emperor replied coldly,
“I can give you everything you want, power, fa, beautiful won, I can give you everything you desire! You just need to obey !”
Yang Ming asked again, “Your Majesty, what do you think imperial power is realized through?”
The Old Emperor’s expression froze.
Yang Ming spoke slowly,
“If it is an ignorant and primitive civilization, imperial power can be realized through divine right, by mandate of heaven, by exploiting human ignorance of nature.
“In a civilized society that has awakened, imperial power can be realized through stratification, controlling pathways to class advancent, and controlling military power, much like in the Sherman Empire.”
