Capítulo 1282: Chapter 498: Curtain Up! Curtain Up!
“Boss, the fake Edwan has entered the Empire’s borders, and our escort fleet has not been intercepted by the Empire.”
“Agents from the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau have secretly confird Edwan’s identity, determining that the person is the one they arranged, with no data anomalies detected. They’ve now relaxed their vigilance.”
“The torch has been raised; all that’s left is for this spark to be ignited.”
Lyu, dressed in a dark little cocktail dress, stood with her hands behind her back, speaking softly behind Yang Ming.
Yang Ming, still sitting in the corner of Edwan’s chambers, poured himself a cup of tea, smiling as he asked, “How is Princess Luna now?”
Lyu instantly retrieved information from her vast database and replied:
“According to what you said, Boss, she’s doing quite well and is waiting for you to seek her out.”
“Because of her involvent and leadership in matters concerning His Majesty Edwan, she has maintained a good reputation in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. However, as Princess Daphne rises, Princess Luna has sowhat been marginalized by the noble circles, but her days are still considered decent.”
“I originally wanted to personally go and assassinate her.”
Yang Ming chuckled softly, then shook his head slightly:
“In hindsight, forget it. She’s rely a cog in the imperial hegemonic machine, a not-so-outstanding representative of the Sherman family.”
“Later, give her a dignified way to die.”
“She’s a lady; let’s not make it too unsightly.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Lyu responded with a serious expression.
Yang Ming took a small sip from the teacup, then stared thoughtfully at it.
Drinking tea had been a habit he developed himself.
However, the water was infused not with the tea leaves he was familiar with, but with similar substitutes that also refreshed the mind, though they could hardly be called tea.
“Lyu,” Yang Ming suddenly asked, “can we still call ourselves righteous now?”
“In the contention among interstellar polities, justice itself is a false proposition, Boss.”
“But justice shouldn’t be a false proposition,” Yang Ming leaned back on the sofa with closed eyes, “I’ll rest for a bit; alert if there’s any situation.”
Lyu replied gently.
The upcoming matters had a protocol simulated tens of thousands of tis, so she could handle everything without requiring the Boss to do much.
…
[The Emperor of the Luofeng Empire, Chairman of the Wind Alliance Council, Edwan has arrived at Jinrong Star in the Emperor Star Circle of the Empire.]
Catherine looked at the ssage popping up on the communicator next to her, sitting there deep in thought.
She was inside a fully transparent office, outside of which was a busy command hall, with hundreds of workstation sowhat disarrayedly arranged, yet orders were always dispatched orderly.
Now, it did not require Catherine to charge into battle.
She only needed to wear her cool combat suit, sit in her office, occasionally press a few buttons, and attend so etings to keep the organization running efficiently.
The underground base where Catherine was located remotely controlled sixty-two imperial resistance organizations;
Combined, these organizations had more than twenty-six million nine hundred and twenty thousand ‘mbers,’ with their activity regions spanning various planets along the Empire’s borders.
Upon Catherine’s command, over twelve hundred older types of ships, tens of millions of amphibious combat robots, and more than eight million trained anti-Empire warriors would launch ard struggle simultaneously on thirty-two primary Administrative Stars along the Empire’s borders, spreading the spark of rebellion across the Empire’s boundary line.
Indeed, compared to the terrifying size of the Sherman Empire, the forces Catherine commanded could only be considered a re spark.
Catherine initially thought her greatest role was to be at the forefront of commando teams.
However, under Lyu’s leadership, she had now beco the spiritual leader of the resistance organization, an empire’s female war goddess burdened with various honorifics, bringing hope to the Empire and dawn to the oppressed people living within and outside the Empire.
Catherine always felt that she wasn’t cut out to be a leader; Hanton was.
It was entirely due to the mysterious and powerful chanical Thought Body, the best assistant to “that man,” Little Lyu, standing by her side, that she could competently handle these exceptionally complex affairs.
Under Lyu’s arrangents, she also beca the core figure of the “Fire” plan.
The goal of this “Fire” plan was to unify border resistance organizations of the Empire, develop bases in most border regions of the Empire, propagate anti-imperial ideas, and gradually win support from those living on the Empire’s fringe areas, who are generally impoverished.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
Under the oppressive might of the Empire’s powerful Starship fleet, striving to overthrow the Empire by relying on these impoverished planets seems obviously impractical.
But once these flas are ignited, they can quickly spread across the Empire’s ideological territory.
Lyu once said:
‘The most important purpose of this plan is not to draw away much of the Empire’s military power.’
‘The most crucial aspect is that the resistance bases we establish can exist steadily and continuously, posing a threat to the Empire, providing an additional choice to the Empire’s populace, instilling the concept that ‘even without the Empire’s protection, life can still be good.”
‘Alleviating the populace’s dependency on the Empire is the core aim of the Fire plan.’
Now, their plan had reached its most critical step.
All they need is an opportunity;
An appropriate opportunity that would maximize the effectiveness of the “Fire” plan;
And that opportunity…
Thump, thump!
