Chapter 142:

The arched column extends out of the high platform, carved with a complex pattern of white jade stone columns, that is the high place of the palace, standing there, you can look down to most of the king's capital below.
The blond-haired prince stood behind the white jade carving rail, bathed in bright sunlight, and looked at the endless land. The wind screamed, blowing her long golden hair in the sun like a wave of waves, and the wind continued to whistle backwards, raising the white tulle behind the Queen Girl on both sides Ground rolled up.
The royal city of the day is noisy and prosperous. Even in war, the people living on the emperor star have not been affected much. Years of peace and tranquility have made the people here have completely forgotten the cruelty of war. They firmly believe that Emperor Star is different. No one dares to attack Emperor Star, and their residents are even more different. They feel that no matter which side wins, they must protect the emperor who is the center of politics and economy, so they are all safe.
So what Salome saw at the moment on the high towers of the tower was still the lively capital of the king, and the bustling people flowed through this bustling city.
Salome's eyes were up, and she saw the black flag flying above the square, like a black flame.
From a very young age, she always felt that it was her pride and the royal glory.
But how long can the symbol of this empire survive?
She thought so, her expression was a little shaky.
... all glory will soon pass away.
…………
She was awakened from the trance by a sudden disturbance, and she saw soldiers in the distance running in a hurry, and somehow a troop of soldiers went wild outside the palace, as if something terrible had happened.
what happened?
Salome frowned, and then thought of something.
Is it that [the scepter of heaven] has exploded?
Aren't there more than ten hours?
She thought about it, looking up subconsciously into the sky.
At this look, she found something wrong. She saw a few stars appearing in the sky on a bright day, big and bright, visible to the naked eye, and those stars continued to grow.
Salome stunned.
Of course she knew what it meant-it meant something like a meteorite or a satellite was slamming towards Emperor Star.
She lost her mind, thinking about the person who could cause this panic almost instantly.
emperor.
The man who looked pale and thin and looked weak, but terrible than anyone.
That man must have left a hand on [The Scepter of Heaven]!
Salome knew very well how terrible the destructive force would be if the satellite hit the ground. She turned her back on her skirt and hurriedly ran down. Her heels hit loudly on the wooden floor sound.
Running down the spiral staircase, running through the long arched promenade, the white yarn flew on the columns on both sides.
When she rushed into the empty hall, she saw the emperor sitting quietly on the throne, and the old white-haired attendant standing below. A light curtain flashed the data, hovering in front of the old attendant.
Too late to think about it, Salome ran directly in front of the light curtain, looked up, and what was displayed on the light curtain shocked her at once.
She reached out and struck quickly on the virtual keyboard under the light curtain, trying to stop the satellites from hitting the planet.
The emperor sitting on the throne watched her motion calmly, without saying a word, and the old servant next to him did not try to stop it. Because they knew it was useless, those satellites with activated detonation orders would no longer be controlled by anyone.
Suddenly, Salome saw several pieces of red information on the light curtain that were clearly classified as confidential.
Her head burst with buzz.
Her heart fluttered at that instant.
[Scepter of Heaven], three of them are equipped with nuclear bombs inside.
A nuclear bomb can turn an asteroid into scorched earth.
Those three satellites were striking towards Emperor Star.
"……stop."
Salome stared at the message on the light curtain, her voice trembling.
She turned her head, and for the first time, she growled wildly at the tall man.
"Stop them now !!!"
The emperor sat on the throne and looked down at her, her thin and pale face, and she could not see any emotional indifference. Only those eyes were still hot and terrible, and there was a flame burning deep in the eyes.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Salome.
The old waiter next to him whispered.
"Can't stop," he replied hard, "... can't stop."
Salome hurriedly looked back at the old attendant, with an extremely fierce gaze and a gaze that could not wait to tear it. Instead of talking to the two lunatic lunatics, she rushed towards the room next to the main hall, where there was a room for communication.
She rushed in, shaking her hands quickly on the communications platform with shaking hands, and finally connected to the flagship of the person she wanted to contact.
When Salome lifted her eyes, the cold marshal appeared in the suspended light curtain.
"... help!"
She thought of this prosperous city where she had lived for a long time, thought of the countless people who knew nothing in the city, thought of all the people on this planet, and her mind was blank at this moment.
She tried to calm herself down and told Troll as briefly as possible.
At this time, the only person she could think of to help the planet was Troll.
She looked at Troll's gaze almost at this moment.
"Troll, I know that man it, but the others ... the other citizens are innocent ... help them."
There was a dead silence in the hall opposite the light curtain, and even the sound of breathing seemed to freeze at this moment.
Marshal Troll stood on a high podium, and her eyes narrowed and looked at her.
He didn't talk, he just looked at Salome.
Salome's heart sank endlessly into the abyss with such silence.
"Troll ..."
What else did she want to try to say.
"Her Royal Highness."
The Colonel Qingfa stood out, his face was unsightly, but he could only shake his head.
"The satellite is attacking indiscriminately, destroying all ships close to Emperor Star. We cannot send warships to rescue them at all."
"Just destroy those satellites ..."
"Hi Royal Highness, I regret that only the Star Destroyer can destroy satellites, and only three flagships of our battleships are equipped with Star Destroyer." Viaton gave a long breath and exhaled, "Before and During the enemy's engagement, the energy of the three Star Cannons on the three flagships has been exhausted. "
"........."
Salome didn't say anything, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
In fact, she knew that Troll couldn't save the people on the planet-she knew that she just didn't want to think about it.
Obviously he was holding a straw in his hand, everything was futile, but he subconsciously grabbed the straw.
It's just ... that straw can't save anyone after all.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the despair of her eyes.
She turned around without closing the communication, and slowly left the room.
The hall of the Ishtar ship was silent at this moment, and everyone could only look at the back view of Wang Wang's lonely departure. They could only stare at the trajectory of the armed satellite in the light curtain flying towards the emperor star.
It's like a countdown to hell.
…………
……………………
"why?"
Back in the palace hall, Salome stared at the man on the throne with sharp eyes, with undisguised disappointment and anger.
"Why do you do that?"
She questioned: "You are the emperor, the emperor of this empire, this planet is full of people who believe in you and serve you, why can you do such a thing-"
Salome didn't understand, she really didn't.
She hated this man, she hated her fate as a chessman-but in her heart, this man lived up to the glory of the throne.
He is the true emperor.
He shouldered the burden of the Empire on his shoulders.
He is cruel, but he is a competent emperor.
She hated him, but still respected him and admired him.
This man was cruel to others, even harder to himself. He paid everything for the rebirth of the Empire, and he was cruel to himself to the point where she could not hate him.
And at this moment, the respect for the man completely collapsed at this moment, she did not expect that this man could do such a heart-breaking thing--
"... poisoned your father ... or the family that caused the royal bloodstream to sever, is one of those three families, isn't it?"
Salome looked at the man on the throne, shaking her head in disappointment.
"Just for revenge ... Just for that family to bury the royal family, you're willing to let the 9.8 billion people die with it."
"Do you really know what you did? ... No, you don't know ... you're crazy."
The emperor on the throne kept his eyes closed and allowed Salome to speak, and he opened his eyes slowly after a long time.
In the bright hall, his eyes were still terrible, looking down at Salome like a burning flame.
"Salome."
The emperor spoke, a low voice, a calm tone, and could not see a trace of madness.
"You are not my child, but for so many years, I have asked myself to teach you never to hide."
He looked at Salome and said, "... It's a pity that after so long you can't become a qualified emperor."
"As you wish, [the scepter of heaven] blew itself up, and then?"
"........."
Salome was at a loss, she didn't understand why the emperor said it all of a sudden.
The emperor did not seem to want her to answer, and continued to speak in a low voice.
"The decisive battle between the two sides, Troll defeated the noble coalition." He said, "he can only defeat."
The difference in military strength between the two sides is not large, so the result of the siege and complete annihilation is impossible.
No matter how powerful Troll is, he can only defeat the noble coalition.
"If the noble coalition is lost, it will suffer a heavy blow, but even if the noble coalition is defeated, it will be difficult for him to capture the owners of the three families.
Those aristocratic lords cherish their lives the most. On the battlefield, even if they are defeated, they have a way to escape without being killed or captured.
"The trio defeated and fled because of the severe damage suffered by the elite, and they will definitely hold the group closer."
"After this defeat, at most the number of six or four that they compared with the forces of Troll became four or six."
"Then, to continue the battle, it will take at least a dozen years, maybe even longer, to resolve the three masters."
The emperor said quietly.
"In the past ten years, the war has continued, probably going through hundreds of wars, large or small, maybe thousands of times ... the fire will spread throughout the universe, and the war will spread to hundreds of planets It will be tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, who will die in the war. "
Salome did not speak.
She seemed to understand something, but she didn't think she wanted to understand.
"Destroy the Emperor Star with [the scepter of the kingdom of heaven].
"Without a homeowner, you cannot unite, you can only fight on your own."
"In the family that lost the homeowner, they started fighting internally in order to compete for that position and consumed themselves."
"It takes only seven or eight years to clean up these headless flies ... maybe less."
Only the voice of the emperor echoed in the empty hall.
Salome stood there beautifully, and the sunlight falling into the hall was so bright that she formed some inexplicable weakness in her eyes.
"One planet, 9.8 billion people."
"Decades of war, hundreds of thousands of planets of war, hundreds of billions of lives."
The emperor's words were so cruel, but more real than anything.
"Salome, which one do you choose?"
The Wang Nv stood tremblingly, her gaze was bewildered, and her lips were closed, but she could not make any sound.
The life of the planet in front of it is the lives of 9.8 billion people.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of planets and the lives of hundreds of billions of people in the future.
how to choose?
Too heavy, that is a burden that the soul cannot bear.
A choice that cannot be made at all.
She just felt so heavy she couldn't breathe.
"... I can't do it ... there are living people on this planet ... you have to do it yourself ... you have to watch them ..."
The emperor on the throne smiled.
"The other planets are also living people," he said.
He spoke lightly.
"the same."
He said so, closed his eyes again, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.
The sun shone on the pale skin of the man, and traces of pale blue blood vessels under his skin were faintly visible on his neck.
He sat with eyes closed on the golden throne, as if asleep quietly.
For the first time in all these years, he finally fell asleep quietly.
………………
In addition to those mentioned above, the emperor actually did not say anything.
The name of the imperial royal family still has a great influence in this universe. There are also many loyal people and Troll who oppose to try to save the declining royal family. However, the destruction of a planet and a mad heart of the last emperor completely destroyed the entire human faith and loyalty to the royal family.
After that, they will abandon the disappeared royal family without hesitation, and then recklessly plunge into the new Empire.
This is the last thing he can do.
Infamous with I.
