Chapter 241 The Last Emperor
"After a hundred and sixty years ago, the Morton Empire was in a war with aliens for several years, with people's livelihoods withered, the economy was seriously backward, and the country's cause was in ruins. The government and the people were facing devastated planets. The ancestors of the Morton family did not shrink back and moved forward bravely, creating a peaceful and prosperous era, forging the supreme honor and dignity of the Morton family. One hundred and sixty years later, facing the invasion of aliens, my father and my family did not lower their noble heads. They did not abandon their own people. They defended the honor of the Morton family with their blood and defended the dignity of the Morton family. And I, as the only person who is still alive in the Morton family, will inherit this honor and inherit this dignity. This is the greatest wealth left to me by the Morton family!"
Prince Morton paused for a moment, and a pair of sad eyes fell on the captains.
"According to the Constitution of the Morton Empire, I am now the legal heir to the throne of the Morton Empire and the only legal heir. Now, as the Emperor of the Morton Empire, I declare that the fall of the Morton Empire will become the past and become history..."
"Your Highness!"
"Please think twice, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness..."
"Don't be impatient, please wait until I finish speaking. Before that, I will drive the rights of the Emperor of Morton Empire for the last time. General Xu, do you know your crime?"
"The last general is aware of the crime." General Xu did not kneel down. He was a five-star general. Except for the large-scale ceremony, even the old emperor in front of him would not have to kneel down, not to mention that he is still wearing military uniforms now.
"Are you willing to release the military power?"
"I am willing to do so, I only ask the emperor to give me the emperor a blessing to me to retire and return home." When a captain knelt on the ground and cried, General Xu knew that the situation was hopeless, so he just gave a little bit of a bachelor's side and found a way out for himself.
"Accurate, but General Xu, I have a request, which is also the last emperor of the Morton Empire. Please be sure to agree."
"Emperor said that he will do his best!"
"I am the emperor of the Morton Empire. According to the Constitution of the Morton Empire, in addition to those with great merits and virtues, those who are respected in honor can be promoted to the position of five-star general. In wartime, the emperor of the Empire has the right to grant the position of five-star general. In this extraordinary period, I now announce that Danny Morton takes over the position of five-star general of the Norman Star, and ask General Xu to grant the rank of military!"
As soon as Prince Morton finished speaking, there was a silence in the conference room. At this time, Prince Morton walked to the podium in the conference room and removed a golden royal badge on his chest with a solemn expression. The guards beside him also removed the golden badge on his chest at the same time, with a solemn and sad expression.
The scene was not strong, but very solemn. In that solemn, a kind of desolation was revealed, and many guards' tears flowed silently.
This simple ceremony represents the official end of the Morton Dynasty!
After completing this simple and solemn ceremony, the guards brought up a dark blue military uniform and handed it to Prince Morton. Then, they opened a black cloth curtain on the podium. Five minutes later, the cloth curtain was opened. Prince Morton had already changed into a straight dark blue military uniform, which was very heroic. However, the careful person immediately found that Prince Morton was wearing no military uniform and had no military ranks on his shoulders.
General Xu did not speak, and walked silently to Prince Morton and saluted a standard military salute to Prince Morton. Prince Morton also replied to a standard military salute. Then General Xu began to remove the shining star on his shoulder one by one, very carefully. Every time he removed one, a guard would take it and carefully install the star on Prince Morton's shoulder.
This rank award ceremony seems a bit inappropriate, and even the military uniforms are not very suitable. However, no one will feel inappropriate. Those serious faces and focused actions are telling people that this is a very sacred and solemn ceremony, a ritual of alternating power.
Half an hour later, the ceremony ended, Prince Morton saluted everyone, and all the captains returned a salute.
"I, Danny Morton, the Morton Empire has perished, and the Morton family is still there, because, I am still alive, I said, I will inherit the honor and dignity of the Morton family, and I will continue to safeguard the glory and dignity of the Morton family. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, the Morton family will not lower their noble heads. Now, I am the only five-star general in the Morton Galaxy. I will lead the people of the Morton Galaxy to peace, justice, and fairness!"
"No matter how vast star clouds change, no matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter, I, Danny Morton, will be fearless and bravely moving forward. The Morton family has witnessed glory. The dust of history cannot cover the meteors of the interstellar. The spark can start a prairie fire. Countless pioneers have scattered the seeds of hope into the universe, allowing human civilization to gradually penetrate into every corner of the interstellar... We were once dim, we were once glorious, disillusioned and reborn, eternal sorrow and immortal pride penetrated each other, noble blood has been flowing in our blood vessels, we have never forgotten fairness and justice, we have been seeking, even if the blood of the family dyed the interstellar red, we have never regretted it. We didn't, and now, we won't!"
"I know that everyone here desires justice, fairness, and peace more. However, fairness will not fall from heaven, and peace and justice will not fall. Whether it is justice, fairness or peace, it needs to be forged with blood. Mistakes need to be paid with blood and life. The Morton family has paid the price of mistakes. Now, it is time for those robbers, murderers, rapists, and those who take advantage of the situation to pay the price of blood..."
"As the highest general of the Morton Galaxy, here, I announce that the crime of stealing can be forgiven, and robbery that does not hurt lives can be forgiven, and even those who smash government agencies can be forgiven, even those who hang my family can be forgiven. However, rape, kill! Robbery causes death, kill! Burning private property, kill! molesting women and children, kill!" Prince Morton looked murderous.
"We need to use blood to wash out justice and fairness. When our soldiers fight to the death on the front line, their wives and children are ravaged by others. We cannot tolerate such crimes. We must use iron-blooded means to tell everyone that at any time, anywhere, as long as mistakes are made, the law will not disappear because of disaster, and fairness and justice will not disappear because of war. While we want criminals to be punished, I also want those warriors who protect the country and the people to receive the highest reward and honor!"
Looking at a group of captains who were ready to move, General Xu couldn't help but sigh. It was rumored that Prince Morton was a playboy embroidered pillow, and he was lazy and idle all day long. Unexpectedly, Prince Morton and the legendary Prince Morton were simply incompatible.
From beginning to end, Prince Morton spoke step by step. He first talked about the glory of the Morton family and the contributions made by the family to the Morton Galaxy. Then he retreated to advance, removed the emperor's halo and deprived him of his military power. Without any dissatisfaction or protest, everything seemed to be natural.
Now, Prince Morton has brought the families of the fallen soldiers to the table, making the captains share the same hatred of the enemy and resonate. It can be said that Prince Morton has gained the loyalty of these people, even if this loyalty is very short-lived.
Prince Morton's deep scheming made General Xu feel chilled. In order to avoid misunderstanding that he was avenging the Morton family, he actually pardoned his enemy who hanged his family. How courage and determination would take!
General Xu believes that in the future, Prince Morton will take a series of actions to consolidate his leadership position in the Starry Star Mothership Battle Group.
General Xu never dreamed that after the captains arrived, the conference room would be broadcast live. In other words, all the officers and soldiers of the entire Starry Star Mothership Battle Group saw the whole process of hearing Prince Morton's speech, from the end of the Morton Empire to the award of titles, undoubtedly missing.
Compared with a group of captains, Prince Morton's words made them more heartwarming, because these captains all had certain power. At the beginning of the alien's outbreak, they took their relatives away from Morton Star, and some soldiers could only watch their relatives fall into turmoil and helpless... After the speech, Prince Morton immediately let all captains return to their ships without any embarrassment.
This is a big bet!
Two hours later, Prince Morton knew that he had won the bet and became a real five-star general. The Starry Star Mothership Battle Group completely fell into his control. In fact, this was also expected. The holographic video broadcasting scene contained a group of captains swearing allegiance. In those scenes, some captains wanted to fool Prince Morton temporarily. However, when the captains knew about the live broadcast, they dared not act rashly. After all, as a soldier, as a captain with a respected identity, it was a bit unreasonable to go back on their word.
These exciting power-seizing speeches for Liu Fei were boring and drowsy. Liu Fei was a person who liked to express his intentions with practical actions. He hated speaking, especially in front of strangers. When Prince Morton was speaking with great enthusiasm, Liu Fei was thinking about the skeleton mecha in the maintenance cabin... Liu Fei had no chance to return to the Stan because the mothership of the Starry Sky had arrived at the space port of the planet Norman.
After arriving at the port, he immediately set off to the planet Norman because, the former Prince Morton and now General Danny were to visit his father-in-law Fran Keller, and of course, his fiancée Fran Helen.
"My father-in-law, I'm here!"
