December 1, 4415, Imperial Capital Star, Emma Mercenary Temporary Conference Room

"Okay, everyone is here, have a meeting." Bai Yu clapped his hands and said.

All the officers immediately stopped discussing, sat upright, waiting for Bai Yu to say something.

Bai Yu pointed to the star map of the Federation and said: "This is our combat area. All fleets will be divided into more than one hundred squads, led by the flagship, and the space will be leaped into the Federation. After the flagship transports everyone in, they will return without any stop. After all, we are mercenaries. If the mercenaries have flagships, I am afraid that the Federal Navy will be scared."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience. They were the squad leader selected by Bai Yu. Each team was very small in size, including 2 battleships, 4 battlecruisers, 10 cruisers and about 40 destroyers and frigates. There were no supply ships, no heavy armored battleships and long-range gunboats. They were also equipped with a large number of armored airborne troops. All teams reported to Bai Yu only and followed Bai Yu's instructions, with no command seats in the middle.

"The areas responsible for each team have been given to you, and the team information of your neighboring areas. Your mission is very simple. First, attack with all your strength and consume local local fleets, but their number is very small and very scattered. Second, after controlling your own jurisdiction, occupy the base of local local fleets. Third, harass the federal supply fleet passing along the way, and finally, wait for my subsequent orders." Bai Yu said: "Is there any problem?"

"Your Highness!" An officer raised his hand.

Bai Yu pointed at him: "It is the regiment commander. From now on, I am the regiment commander of the mercenary, not the prince of the empire. During the war and communication process, it is prohibited to call anyone a military rank and title."

"Yes." The officer nodded and said, "Sir, Regiment Commander, what should we do if the local fleet has strong combat power?"

"It's very simple. If it's not an opponent, then don't fight, or even take risks. After all the squads enter the combat area, they must be silent, wait for the signal, and take action together. If you can't defeat, lead them to other galaxies, join with other squads, and annihilate them together. If the local fleets of the Federation do not chase, then I will let the fleets of the next galaxy gather together to encircle and annihilate them." Bai Yu said: "Remember, you are mercenaries. Don't fight according to the regular army model. It's the priority. If you can't defeat, run away. I will tell you the direction of evacuation and the timing of counterattack. The local fleets of the Federation are chasing you, and you will merge with the squads of the next galaxy to continue running. When those local fleets find that they are chasing their opponents, and they are twice as powerful as their combat power, they will not chase them. At that time, it's time for you to turn around and chase them."

There was another burst of laughter, which sounded very interesting.

"I understand, the palace... the commander of the regiment." The officer said with a smile.

Bai Yu called another officer, and the officer stood up and asked, "Do you need to block the star gate?"

"According to the situation, unless you receive the team ordered by me, you do not block the star gate. You complete the clearance. The task after occupation is to attack the federal supply fleet, not to eat them, but every attack will cause damage to them. The supply fleet is escorted by warships. Your target is only those supply ships, and they do not require sunk, just hurt them. The team behind will continue to attack them. Even if the sneak attacks can sink a supply ship for 5 times, it is a victory." Bai Yu explained.

"yes."

"Okay, next."

“We only carried a week of supplies, and after using it…”

Bai Yu smiled: "Let you occupy the base of the local fleet, either to let you be warehouse administrators for the Federation or to let you use it."

"Can all supplies be used?" The officer was obviously rigid in his mind.

Bai Yu nodded: "Of course, food, medicine, weapons and ammunition, as long as you can use it, use it at will." Bai Yu continued to add: "I know everyone was recalled after retirement. This is your last battle for the empire, so I allow you to rob."

After hearing this, the officers were stunned, and then whispered to each other. One officer stood up and saluted solemnly: "Sorry, we are the Imperial Royal Navy, and the honor of the soldiers does not allow us to do this."

His words won the approval of almost all officers. Bai Yu smiled and nodded: "I'm glad you all think so, but the robbery I mentioned has conditions. The target of your robbery can only be the Federal Navy, and the others are not within the scope of the robbery. What you bring back can only be the property of the Federal Navy, ship accessories, weapons, and even warships. Of course, if you want to bring back a cabin rail shell, I have no objection."

"But, what's the use of these things?" The officers discussed for a long time before barely accepting Bai Yu's point of view, but the problem arose. Apart from cash and some valuable gadgets, these things are not worth the penny of Emma. Emma's army is not needed, and they can't sell them.

"It's useful. The Federation promised the Empire to disarmament not long ago, but it has not taken action. Then we will help them lose weight and save them from harming others. As long as the things you brought back are military equipment, the Empire will acquire them from you at a 50% discount on the market price and then transfer them to other countries, such as Mimatal and even... Gardari." Bai Yu said with a smile: "Of course, the profits obtained will be handed over to the royal family in accordance with the Imperial Royal Finance Law to pay for the expenses of other royal fleets next year, and the rest will be allocated to the Imperial Relief Agency. You veterans who have retired will have priority right to enjoy them. If the amount is large enough, His Majesty will even exempt the national taxes next year."

"Is the warship the same?" an officer asked in surprise.

"Especially the warships are the flagships of the Federation, and the Empire also pays for them. If you have the ability to get a flagship back, I personally apply to Your Majesty to give you the title of Earl of the Empire. If you are already an Earl, you will be awarded the title of court." Bai Yu said with a smile.

The officers immediately became furious. The robbed assets accounted for 50% of them. The empire made money and used them as well as even exempting taxes throughout the year. This was simply incredible. After all, Emperor Kant's greed was still imprinted in their minds.

An officer jumped up without permission and asked, "Are you saying true?"

Before Bai Yu could answer, a proud voice said loudly: "You are not joking!"

"His Majesty!"

When the officers saw that Sophia was coming, they immediately knelt all over the ground.

Sophia smiled and said, "What the Prince said is what I said. If you bring enough profits to the empire, let alone one year of national tax exemption, even three or five years, I am willing to do so!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your highness!"

"Long live the empire!"

The officers cheered, and Bai Yu rolled his eyes at Sophia: "I finally asked them to change their words and say not to call him Your Highness, you have changed them back now."

Sophia shrugged at Bai Yu secretly, saying that she did not do it on purpose.

Then, Sophia continued: "Not only that, when you return to the imperial capital, I will erect a monument as tall as my palace in the square in front of the palace, and carve your names on the monument for future generations to admire."

Now it was poured on the fire. Bai Yu looked at the officers' gratitude and almost crazy look, and looked at Sophia's proud little look, thinking: 'The Queen of the Empire is different. Who doesn't want to be remembered forever? The height of any building in the Imperial Capital Star is strictly stipulated, and it must not be higher than the average height of each palace in the palace, let alone the height. At this moment, these officers and soldiers must be her most loyal supporters. If the whole country is exempted from taxes, even in a year, Sophia's dominance can be consolidated unprecedentedly. It is the first time that people have bought this?'

Bai Yu thought about it, put it in Sophia's ear, and joked in a very low voice: "Do you want a sacred oath?"

The sacred oath is a blood oath, and the one who oath must be a noble. Of course, the object of the oath is also a noble. And you have to bite your fingers and apply blood to your lips. It hurts to bite your fingers. Many people think they are fine, but they will never be able to mouth at critical moments. The nobles are spoiled, let alone Sophia. Who knew that Sophia nodded seriously and said loudly: "Call all the fleet officers and soldiers participating in the war. I want to make an unprecedented sacred oath for the welfare of the people of the empire!"

The entire conference room suddenly became quiet, and Bai Yu took a breath, "What's wrong with this little girl? I'm just kidding."

The officers did not dare to speak out. The Royal Fleet was not all nobles. Many things were from civilians, not to mention the soldiers below. But the sacred oath was only nobles to nobles, and no nobles had ever wished civilians.

Seeing that Sophia was not a joke, Bai Yu said, "This is how I should say it. I've said it almost. If there are any questions, please contact me alone. Everyone will return to the battleship and call up the officers and soldiers of their respective teams to watch His Majesty's sacred oath before going to war."

The officers all remained silent and knelt down neatly and then dispersed. Bai Yu was surprised by their reaction. He was still very excited just now. Why were everyone calm and had a serious expression? So he turned to ask Sophia: "What's wrong with them?"

"Hey, my prince, you still don't understand the sacred oath. This blood oath is extremely noble. The noble regards honor more than life. In the past, if a noble violated the sanctions of the sacred oath and did not need the sanctions of the royal court, he would resign from his title, disperse his ancestral property, and then commit suicide to ensure the glory of the family." Sophia said: "Your proposal is very good. This will be an unprecedented sacred oath in the history of the empire. Its object is not distinguished between noble and low, nor for personal self-interest. The oath made will concern all the people of the entire Holy Emma Empire, and I will also be supported by all the people." Sophia said seriously.

Bai Yu nodded and suddenly shivered: "Ask a matter with you."

"you say."

"Can you stop calling me the emperor sister in the future?" Bai Yu said with a lip.

Sophia shook her head: "It didn't matter before, but from now on, it won't work!"

In the next three hours, the busiest thing is Flan. His Majesty's oath will be drafted by him. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Flan also believes that he cannot say that he is dead. If he really can't do it, the empire will collapse in an instant, and it must be kept confidential and cannot be let the Federation know, otherwise the military plan will be completely ruined.

The fleet originally set off at night, and the beacons used for flagship navigation have been arranged in the federal territory. 4418 this time was considered a clearance of the federal intelligence and selling. It was not right to say that the sale was not right. He didn't ask for money at all. Military deployment, various galaxies' combat power, inventory materials, supply fleet routes, etc., told Bai Yu and Ola. To be honest, Ola knows exactly which naval base and how much toilet paper is in stock. After repeated negotiations, Sophia's sacred oath ceremony was scheduled to be 4 pm, and the object of the oath was limited to the Royal Navy participating in the war. Of course, according to Aura's words, it is more appropriate to call it "Royal Pirates". At 5 o'clock, the fleet set off for war, so the issue of leaks did not exist. As for the content of the oath, a few simple words, after up to 116 modifications, they were finally approved by Sophia.

Bai Yu didn't know what the whole palace and imperial cabinet were like with her joke. She was sitting leisurely in a battleship, closing her eyes to rest and waiting for the moment when she left. At the same time, she was still waiting for a news that 4418 would secretly contact the Gadari army and reach an agreement with them. This agreement could make the federal navy desperate and bring Gdari back to life. Of course, any benefit would have to be paid.

"Aren't you afraid that these Royal Pirates will snatch the Federal Navy?" Ora asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid to die. If the federal navy's combat effectiveness is severely frustrated, I can't guarantee whether Gadari will retaliate, let alone His Highness, our Queen." Bai Yu whispered: "Not to mention that the Federal Navy has lost warships, even if there are few warships, they will still impose a large amount of taxes on the people, and the Federation will be even more chaotic. If they do this, the final result will inevitably be that in the face of the federal revenge in the next few decades, the fleet temporarily changed its name to call mercenaries instead of volunteers, and it is also to minimize the possibility of federal revenge."

"So you have to take full control of the actions of each fleet?" Ora suddenly realized.

Bai Yu nodded: "Yes, the results of the battle must be calculated from the beginning, not too much or less. Seventy percent of the fleet went deep into the hinterland of the Federation, and the remaining 30% of the fleet gathered and jumped to the Volgo Star Domain, joined the Gadari fleet there, and finally attacked forward and backward, surrounded the Federation Fleet, and forced them to surrender."

Ola thought for a while: "I don't think the problem is big on Gardari. They will definitely agree with such good conditions, but what if the Federation does not surrender?"

Bai Yu smiled bitterly: "Then I hope I, the federal military god, can still have some effect."

Ola suddenly thought of something, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only keep it in her heart.

"Don't worry." Bai Yu suddenly said in a low voice: "I still have a backup plan. If it really doesn't work, I won't let the Federation continue to exist, that's it."

Ola nodded, Bai Yu's expression was extremely sad, like a prisoner walking towards the execution ground, without struggle, crying, or fear, but just feeling powerlessly saddened by everything he was about to face.

"Your Excellency, there is a communication request." The communications officer of the bridge reported.

"Check in." Bai Yu cheered up, she knew that 4418 had news.

4418 After seeing Bai Yu, he nodded silently. Bai Yu closed his eyes and sighed: "Settle off the communication."

The communication officer of the bridge was stunned for a moment and did as he did. He didn't know what the nodding action contained. 4418 reached an agreement with the National Guard of Gardari. The fleet in their hands would be fully handed over to Bai Yu when Bai Yu needed it. Afterwards, they would establish their own country. Seta Deer, Long March, Underwin, Volgo four star fields will be their territory. Of course, they will also pay a certain price. They will not retaliate against the Federation within 100 years, nor be hostile to the Empire, otherwise the Empire will destroy them. In addition, as the cost of hiring Bai Yu, Gardari must invest in purchasing the federal warships and military supplies in Emma's hands. The price is decided by Bai Yu. At the same time, they will also make one-time compensation for the officers and soldiers who died in the mercenary.

"Everything is ready," said Ora.

Time passes slowly, and Old Jack once said: "We are creatures in the three-dimensional world. For us, time is eternal and unchanging. Any thoughts, theories or proofs that think that time has become faster or slower are either wrong subjective imaginations or proofs that humans enter a higher dimension, but usually, it is the former, and the probability is infinitely close to 1oo%.'

"Fleet Communication Request!" the communications officer shouted loudly.

Bai Yu opened his eyes and stood up from his seat: "Connect and transmit the entire fleet simultaneously."

"yes!"

Sophia stood in the hall, in front of her throne, slowly raised her left hand, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and at the same time put her right thumb into her mouth. As her brow suddenly frowned, she took her left hand away, and saw that the right thumb had been bitten, and blood was flowing down her fingers to the tiger's mouth. Sophia slowly raised her thumb, applied the blood to her lips from right to left, and then said, "I! The Holy Emma Empire! Emperor!

Queen of the Kingdom! Hagia Sophia Philis Gilbert made this sacred oath in the blood of his ancestors and the name of the emperor. This time, the Royal Fleet went to war against the Federation, and all captured them belong to the imperial officers and soldiers and their people, and their glory was engraved under the imperial stairs of the palace, as high as the palace. If there is any violation, Saint Elma will deprive me of my noble blood. If there is any violation, Saint Elma will deprive me of the imperial throne."

"Long live your Majesty! Long live the empire!"

Except for Bai Yu, all the officers and soldiers knelt on the ground and cheered continuously. Sophia continued: "I wish all the people a triumphant victory as soon as possible, revive the prosperity of the empire, and rebuild the empire forever glory!"

Seeing that Sophia's communication had been cut off, Bai Yu waited for the officers and soldiers on the bridge to cheer, and ordered loudly: "We fight for the glory of the empire! Fight for the prosperity of the empire! The empire is victorious! Fleet! Go on the expedition!"

"Yes! Your commander ordered the fleet to go on a war! We fight for the empire! The empire will win thousands of victories!" The communication officer opened the fleet's radio and sent a command.

After Bai Yu sat down, Ora asked in a low voice: "You missed the manuscript given by Flan."

Bai Yu glanced at Ola: "I know there is another saying, 'Fight for peace in the universe', but I really don't know if I can do it. We have won countless wars, but in the end, the war still came. It was like an old friend. Whenever I thought peace was coming and I could rest, it would knock on the door and talk to you, and I couldn't hide it."

Ola smiled and advised, "Your life goal, but I have always hoped that there will be no war, and I have always done this. Perhaps this war will be peaceful."

Bai Yu shook her head and didn't say anything. She closed her eyes, as if she was very tired.

July 1, 4693, Judgment, Titan Battleship, Panoramic Bridge

"There is such a monument in front of your palace? Why didn't I see it?" Bai Yu asked strangely.

Sophia suddenly became embarrassed, Luyisha looked elsewhere and whispered: "Yes, yes, but..."

Bai Yu looked at her and hesitated, then looked at the others. Old Jack looked at the ceiling, shook his head, and said nothing. Ora snorted: "I'm so bragging about it, I'm still as high as the palace, but it's not built."

"Ah? Then aren't you going against the Holy Oath?" Bai Yu said in surprise.

"It's not considered a violation. There are indeed monuments, but they took advantage of loopholes." Ora said with a smile: "It's still the idea that Old Jack came up with."

"Take a loophole? How can the monument take advantage of it? The height of the monument is, the height is as high as it is..." Bai Yu couldn't understand, and Old Jack sighed and said, "The monument is as high as the palace. The trouble is in this sentence. Emma Palace is a complex of buildings. The highest palace is located on a mountain peak with an altitude of more than 4ooo meters. The snow does not melt all year round. The imperial steps of the palace hall are at a height of 15 meters. The height of the entire monument will reach 4o78 meters. No material strength can support such a huge monument, so it is impossible to build it."

"New Star Nok Stone..." Bai Yu hadn't finished speaking.

Old Jack smiled bitterly and said, "The new star nok stone, haha, the strength is fine, but don't forget that the building with a foundation of more than 4ooo is at least 1ooo meter. Even if the stele is a pillar as thick as a finger, the cost is still sky-high. When the monument is built, the treasury of the Emma Empire will be almost done."

"Then why... you took advantage of loopholes?" Bai Yu asked with a smile.

Old Jack raised his finger and pointed at Ora: "Stereometric Projection."

"This is really..." Bai Yu said in surprise.

"The base of the monument is 40 meters high, 35 meters long and wide, with more than 170 large carvings. The names of the fleet officers and soldiers are engraved on it. The upper end is a large three-dimensional projector, which automatically opens at sunset every day. The projection is the shape of an octave monument, and the beam range is indeed enough." Ola said proudly: "Oh, speaking of it, do you know what the largest three-dimensional projection in the universe appears when it is opened for the first time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophia and Luyisha immediately covered their foreheads and sighed together. Old Jack also smiled and shook his head. Bai Yu looked at Ola No. 1's expression: "Is it..."

"Hehe, it's me, 4ooo meter tall, I really want to try again." Ora smiled very happily.
Chapter completed!
