Chapter 253, obsessed with ghosts
If you want to use one word to describe the current mood of King Luman and Gu Ming, it would be:
Panicked.
When Perbov saw the orange-red tail flame piercing the night sky, he was not sure what it was.After all, the interstellar communication equipment he owned was destroyed in a previous bombing. He himself was lucky enough to survive. Leroy was deaf in one ear, so he was lucky.Communication equipment that cannot be moved cannot be saved.
But Gu Ming was different.
He has smooth communication with the four merchant guild fleets still under his control, and even has an independent astrology tower that can conduct interstellar communications.
He knew clearly that the Blade Tiger, belonging to the Imperial Navy's Pegasus Fleet, was approaching and was definitely not here to help him.
Although there was no exact information, he was probably sure that this starship was carrying his cousin's army.
When he first learned the news, he was extremely angry and made many calls to many big bosses in Feiyi Star.
However, the most important three communications, that is, the communication requests sent to the leader of the sector, Peters, the commander of the Pegasus fleet, Tilemance, and the famous naval family Fofana family, were not connected.
Obviously, that's because they didn't answer.
By this time, no matter how lucky he was, he understood the fact: he was abandoned.
In the political situation of the star district, they have chosen to side with Wang Qi and Gu Hang, mother and son.
At this time, his mentality began to undergo some... interesting changes.
After a fit of rage, a fluke, and a lucky break, he became hysterical.
He ordered the four Chamber of Commerce fleets to stop the approach of the Blade Tiger 'at all costs'.
This is a crazy order. He may not have been thinking clearly when he gave this order.
What is the concept of actively attacking the Imperial Navy?
Do you really want to rebel?
Even if they win the battle, they won't be able to do anything like work in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and they will all have to flee for their lives.
If you can escape and become an interstellar pirate, you are lucky.
But fortunately, Gu Ming was crazy, but the frontline commanders of the four chamber of commerce fleets who heard the order were not crazy.
They listened to the Imperial Navy opening public communications, and in the name of the Imperial Navy and the Pegasus Fleet, they were constantly asking all interstellar ships in the region to stop all hostile actions, otherwise they would be regarded as traitors to the Empire.
These front-line commanders called in one after another, using the excuse of confirming the order, first to test the authenticity of the order; when Gu Ming repeatedly emphasized that the order was indeed issued by him, they turned to earnestly persuade them. got up.
Anyway, regardless of whether you Gu Ming listens or not, we people will definitely not open fire.
Everyone follows you to cause trouble, tuck their heads in their belts, and engage in family feuds. To put it bluntly, it is to live a better life in the future.When the eldest son of the family becomes the eldest son of the family, everyone can earn more and have a better status...
When it comes to working with the Imperial Navy, it's a completely different nature.
Whether it was people who were interested in their own future or people who were loyal to Gu Ming, they were all trying to persuade him.Even if it is the latter, they know that there is really no way out if they take action.
Or do you really want to be a pirate?
If you have this determination, what else can you do?
Gu Ming also gradually calmed down, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Fortunately, there was no fight.
Not only was it impossible to fight in a naval battle, but it was also impossible to fight the Blade Tiger's landing ship while it was flying to the surface.
The first landing ship is also part of the Blade Tiger and belongs to the Imperial Navy. What is released after landing is the army of the Raging Owl. That is one thing, but if it is blown up in the air, there will be no bones left and no evidence of death. People say it is What to do with the Marines deployed on the starship?
There is no denying it.
Then we can only let them down and fight.Next to him, Ness Luhmann was furious.
"How could the Imperial Navy do this?! It's so unfair!"
"What if this is just the beginning? What if the troops from the Raging Owl Star are continuously transported to the Black Arrow Star by the Imperial Navy? Are we just going to watch like this?"
"Do you want me to use the power of a kingdom to fight against a planet?!"
He kept talking, his expression filled with sadness and anger.
Gu Ming sighed, then turned to Lu Man and said: "At this point, we can only fight to the end. Can you recruit more troops? Especially more 'knights', Knight Titans... Your losses , I will make up for it in the future..."
At this point, Lu Man pushed him hard.
Gu Ming fell to the ground.
His bodyguards and the guards of the Luman Kingdom all moved, but after all, there was no blood. Everyone just pulled out their weapons and pointed them towards the opposite side, but they did not fire yet.
Ness Luman stared at Gu Ming with red eyes: "I have staked everything on me, but the situation is completely different from what you promised in the past!"
"I will make up for..."
"Compensate your mother!" Ness cursed, "Now it's a matter of whether we can win!"
Gu Ming stood up, also stared at Ness Luman and said: "Don't talk to me in this tone, as if I caused all the mistakes! The decision was made by us together, and you are the main force. Army! Don't I know that the key issue now is whether we can win? Just now I almost let my fleet attack the Imperial Navy just to win!"
Having said this, Gu Ming calmed down a little: "There must be no conflicts between us now, do you understand? I need your strength, otherwise I can't win; you also need me, otherwise you won't be able to win." You won't get anything!"
Lu Man ruffled his hair and let out an unwilling roar.
He really regretted it.
But what can be done?
Fascinated.
After a while, he said: "There are still three knight titans in the kingdom, but those three marquis... they may not completely listen to me. I will try my best to persuade them, and I will make some promises. These promises will be made by you in the future. Help me pay the bill. If they stand over, in addition to the three Knight Titans, they can also gather 20 Sentinel Knights and [-] levies..."
"not enough."
"I can also contact several other countries. They have put a lot of diplomatic pressure on us recently, but essentially they are dissatisfied with our actions without notifying them and promising them no benefits. I can share some future powers, In exchange for them not to support me, at least not to send troops to intervene. This will allow me to mobilize some more border defense troops..."
"It's still not enough."
"Then think about it! Can you pray to the Emperor and ask him to conjure an army of one million for us?"
At this point, Gu Ming confirmed that this was really the end of the Luman Kingdom.
"That's it, but it has to be fast. It has to be fast. We are already very pressed for time..."
