Chapter XVIII: The Fall of the Empire
Yun Yi was stunned, if he made this oath, he would have no freedom of his own at all in this life. In this life, I have to work hard for this vow.
Yun Yi was not opposed to overthrowing the Iseras government and establishing the Zhao Song Empire. In the same way, it was his own desire to kill Zagu and eliminate the government army. But he didn't want to tie his life to a goal that was so far away for him.
In Yun Yi's heart, he already has some disgust with war. Disgusted with the war which took away his loved ones, his comrades, his friends. And in his heart, what he longs for most is freedom. It is his dream to be able to live freely, without having to accept anyone's control, without having to do what he is unwilling to do, and enjoying a warm and free life.
But, after all, it's just a dream.
The enmity of the parents, the enmity of the little sister, the kindness of the Zhao Song Empire, the trust of Zhao Xuanxin and the queen......
The revenge must be avenged!
The love that should be repaid must be returned!
After just a little hesitation, Yun Yi opened his mouth and swore: "I swear, I will ...... to the end of this life."
"Don't!"
A voice interrupted Yun Yi's oath, and it was Her Majesty the Empress who spoke.
"Uncle Huang, please don't let Yun Yi make such an oath." The empress wiped away her tears, led Princess Xiyue to Yunyi and Zhao Xuanxin, stretched out her hand to straighten the collar of Yunyi's military uniform, and ignored the two people who were stunned, and said softly: "Our Zhao Song Empire has gone through more than 800 years from the founding of Taizu to the present, countless people have dedicated their lives to this country, countless people have worked hard for this country, and they have worked hard for this country all their lives. Since God wants this empire to perish now, let me be the king of the fallen country. Uncle Huang, don't let other people carry this heavy burden anymore, okay? Yunyi, your task is to live well, and give Xiyue a happy family, so that she can live happily...... Can you promise me? ”
The empress's voice completely stunned Yun Yi and Zhao Xuanxin. And Zhao Xuanxin, everything he did was for the sake of this empire, and he didn't think about the empress's own inner thoughts, and what he never expected was that the empress would have such thoughts. Zhao Xuanxin was silent, from the empress's point of view, all this is not a kind of shackle, a shackle that traps everyone firmly.
"Alas......" Zhao Xuanxin didn't speak again, at this moment, he seemed to be much older.
"Cloud Wings." The empress whispered and handed him a card: "This is a bank card of the Cosmic Bank, an account opened in the name of Xiyue, which contains the remaining property of the royal family and the Restoration Army, I hope you can use it well, and when you can, try to use him to help those who have lived under the rule of the empire, okay?" ”
Yun Yi took the card, only to feel that this thin card made of dissimilar alloys weighed more than 10,000 gold, which was not only countless property, but also the last empress, a kind of care and love for the people under her rule. Although, those people no longer belong to her.
Carefully putting away the bank card, Yun Yi bravely looked into the empress's eyes, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, I promise that I will definitely take care of Princess Xiyue and give her a happy family." In the future, when I can do it, I will definitely help the people of every inch of land under the rule of the empire on behalf of Your Majesty! I swear, I'll do it! ”
Although the empress's face was blocked behind the scarf, Yun Yi seemed to see the smile on her face, which was so beautiful.
"Well, thank you, Yunyi." The empress said softly, "Time is running out, you should set off with Xiyue immediately." Well...... There's one more thing that needs to trouble you. With that, she took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to Yun Yi, and said, "Please give this letter to Xiyue's father...... If you can find it. ”
Yun Yi didn't know why the empress said this, and after taking the letter, Yun Yi asked, "Your Majesty, where am I going to find her father?" ”
The queen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, the only clue about her father is the necklace around her neck." You don't have to take this matter to heart, if God wants to, it will let you run into him. Well, so be it. ”
Everything has been accounted for, and the time of separation has arrived.
The soldiers who had been ordered to meet Yunyi had arrived. Looking at the three people standing at the gate of the palace staring at them, Yun Yi saluted the military salute, and then took Princess Xiyue into the hovercar without looking back, for fear that when he turned back again, he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Lord Yun, your mecha has been transported to this battleship. I am Xiao He, the captain of the first squadron of the Royal Fleet, and I am ordered to obey your command. ”
After the hovercar arrived at the spaceport, Yun Yi quickly boarded the battleship that Zhao Xuanxin told him. In the command room, he met with the squadron leader, who was responsible for protecting their evacuation.
"Lord Xiao, when can we go?"
Xiao He had already received Zhao Xuanxin's secret order and arranged everything. Hearing Yun Yi's question, he immediately replied, "Lord Yun, everything has been arranged and you can set off at any time." ”
"Let's go, the sooner the better!"
Just when the entire base was nervously preparing to fight the enemy, in the chaotic spaceport, the hundred warships under the jurisdiction of the first squad of the most elite Royal Fleet slowly left the spaceport. This move immediately made everyone who saw it panic, and they all speculated whether Her Majesty had abandoned them.
And just when the riot was about to expand, Her Majesty the Empress, the commander-in-chief Prince Zhao Xuanxin, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard, Suo Long, appeared at the spaceport, and in full view of everyone, boarded the Huangtian, and declared that Her Majesty would personally board the royal fleet and fight a decisive battle with the invading government forces. And hopefully, if the Royal Fleet is defeated, those who remain at the base will have the option to surrender.
After these words, the morale of the entire base was immediately boosted, and everyone decided to fight to the death and never steal their lives!
Looking at the imposing appearance of the entire base and all the people in the fleet, the empress looked at the direction of the departure of the first squadron and said softly: "Daughter, I hope you can leave safely, this is the only thing my mother can do, maybe I will buy you a little more time." ”
On November 11, 5239 A.D., the United States of Iseras (Draks) fleet arrived at the final base of the Zhao Song Empire, and under the desperate resistance of the remnants of the Zhao Song Empire, the government fleet suffered heavy casualties, and finally succeeded in capturing the base after ten hours of fighting. Her Majesty the Empress of the Zhao Song Empire and Prince Zhao Xuanxin, the commander-in-chief of the base, detonated the flagship at the last moment. At this point, the Zhao and Song Empires, which had been crisscrossing the Fengzhou Star Domain for more than 800 years, were completely destroyed.
