1577. Request for betrayal
Tang Xiao stood in the capital of Dawn Star Planet, Dawn City's own mansion, overlooking the entire city.
This is a giant building with a height of more than 3,000 meters, and it is also the administrative center of the entire Duchy of Dawn. The main part below this giant building is the major central administrative agencies, and the top part, which is about 150 meters high, is the residence or palace of Tang Xiao.
When building this building, this was Tang Xiao's own request.
Because he found that he really didn't have too many desires. Perhaps since he traveled through time and woke up on the mothership, he had all the things that were very difficult and longing for ordinary people at his fingertips. Such as beautiful women, such as money, such as luxury houses, such as status...
While getting these, he also discovered that the mothership pointed the way to another road - power!
He has an army, an industry, 650,000 experts and heroes of all races and fields, billions of high-quality embryos, and is in a remote galaxy rich in resources, but will be in War Core in the future.
Such conditions make it difficult for people like Tang Xiao not to develop boundless ambitions!
Dominate the galaxy!
In fact, this is what he has been doing since he discovered the value contained in the mothership. This is his ambition! Even if he knew that he was in the world of "Star Wars", even if he knew that his opponent was the unfathomable Darth-Sidious, he would still dive into it without hesitation.
This is romance for men!
However, after calming down from the initial enthusiasm, Tang Xiao is also constantly looking at himself. He discovered that the mothership actually gave him a multiple-choice question...
Because the mothership gave him everything, but it didn't give him a sense of security. For a person with his personality, embarking on the road to hegemony is almost a certainty.
In other words, if his time travel and the existence of the mothership were arranged by someone, then the path he is taking now is the path that person expected.
Tang Xiao has not forgotten that although he has already sent people to check the entire Glory mothership over and over again, there is always a spherical space with a diameter of about 200 meters that cannot be entered.
As for this spherical space located at the core of the mothership, there are no entrances or exits at all, and there are no gaps. Scanning with any instrument will show no response. Even for the shell of this spherical space, it is not known what kind of material it is made of. All I know is that even under an electron microscope, what this shell shows is still a dense structure, and even atoms and molecules cannot be seen.
And what's even more amazing is that after careful measurements and calculations by scientists, they came to the conclusion that the mass of this spherical space actually accounts for more than half of the mass of the entire mothership! This is very scary!
He asked Mainframe, but Mainframe told him that this space is where Mainframe's host computer is located, and it is also the Hyperspace Core of the mothership, so no one has the authority to open it, not even Tang Xiao as the manager.
Although this answer was logical, Tang Xiao's intuition told him that the inside of this spherical space was the answer to all that.
However, although Tang Xiao already has enough strength and power to stand on the stage of competing in the galaxy, he knows very well that compared to the existence that allows him to travel through time and gives him a mothership, he is still far away from getting rid of the role of a chess piece.
Therefore, his pursuit of power and Immortality is because he is afraid that he does not have enough power or enough time to uncover the truth of all this.
As for now, since this existence wants him to conquer the galaxy, then let's defeat this galaxy and start from here!
Tang Xiao withdrew his profound gaze and looked at the city at his feet.
Technologically formatted buildings rise from the ground and are arranged neatly. With the completion of the global wireless power supply network, no wires can be seen in the city, and the construction of buildings and surrounding facilities is completely free from the constraints of wired cables, allowing architectural designers to unleash their artistic talents unbridled.
This makes the whole city beautiful.
The densely packed Speeder and spaceships flew quickly and orderly at different altitudes, injecting fresh blood into the city like blood vessels.
In the distance, a thousand-meter-high tower stands majestically. This is the Synaptic Network node on the planet. Under the coverage of thousands of nodes, the operation of the entire planet has been arranged and calculated in the most scientific manner.
At high altitude, there is also an oval light blue spacecraft flying slowly. The color and height of this spacecraft make it difficult for ordinary people to see clearly. This is a climate regulating device that controls the planet's atmosphere to keep the entire planet in good weather all year round.
In fact, there are many achievements that even Tang Xiao himself is not clear about.
When the major departments below reported to him, most of what he could see were simulated renderings and various data, as well as investment amounts.
Even more often, he dealt with more macro-level matters. For example, this climate adjustment device was the result of a grant application from the Ministry of Planetary Environment. When these spacecraft were manufactured and deployed to every corner of the planet, Tang Xiao didn't even know what they were.
There are still many places that cannot be seen, and Fourth Civilization is making great progress. The input of more and more people, products, and funds has allowed the development of the planet to reach an incredible speed.
The development of Dawn Star Planet is backed by the support of thousands of galaxies, including Trade Federation and InterGalactic Banking Clan.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Xiao feels a greater sense of accomplishment when he sees this ever-changing planet and its increasingly powerful civilization.
It also gave him more confidence to join in the battle for hegemony in the galaxy.
More importantly... all of this is mine! Don't let anyone take it away!
Tang Xiao roared in his heart, he clenched his fists involuntarily, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's eyes!
Take a deep breath to calm down your surging emotions a little. Tang Xiao turned slightly sideways and looked at a person kneeling behind him.
This person has been kneeling here for at least an hour since just now. But Tang Xiao didn't pay attention to it at all, just processing official documents, looking at the scenery, and drinking afternoon tea.
The person kneeling here is Sefrans-Tann!
She knelt on one knee, lowered her head, and her long black wavy hair hung down to the side, motionless. Beads of sweat could already be seen on her blue skin. It was obvious that kneeling like this for an hour was a kind of torture for her.
However, she endured it silently, not daring to complain at all.
The famous general in the army who was domineering, arrogant and invincible, now seemed like a humble servant in front of Tang Xiao.
And it doesn't look like she just annihilated Galactic Republic Second Systems Army and captured hundreds of warships? This is clearly the punishment of a defeated general!
Tang Xiao slowly returned to the sofa and sat down, looking at Sefrans-Tann, looking at her for a long time, and then finally spoke, "You want to stay at the Neutral Alliance and join Confederacy of Independent Systems, even if you repeatedly emphasize that the person you are actually loyal to forever is me?"
"Yes, my master." Sefrans-Tann directly used the word master, although Tang Xiao has never recognized such a relationship.
"You should know why I asked you to kneel here, right?" Tang Xiao's tone gradually became cold.
"I know... because this is... betrayal." Sefrans-Tann raised his head, "But! I think..."
However, just as she was about to tell the difference, an invisible the Force directly locked her throat before she could say anything! The feeling of suffocation made him want to struggle involuntarily, but in order to express her loyalty, she endured it and still kept kneeling on one knee.
"I'm asking you a question, and I don't need any more explanation from you. Or do you want to make the judgment on my behalf?" Tang Xiao said coldly.
Sefrans-Tann shook his head vigorously.
Tang Xiao did not relax the grip of the Force at all, and asked instead, "So, what attracts you? Is it Confederacy of Independent Systems's Supreme Military Commander? Or is it their powerful force? Are you protesting against me by making such a request? Protesting that I did not let you become Commander of the Navy? Or are you protesting that our Duchy of Dawn is not strong enough?"
Sefrans-Tann couldn't speak or breathe. The only thing she could do was shake her head desperately.
Bang! Tang Xiao waved his hand, and the Force directly flew Sefrans-Tann away, hitting the wall and falling to the ground.
She struggled to get up, making a hoarse breath in her throat, and hurriedly ran to Tang Xiao, knelt down on one knee, and said with difficulty, "Please listen to my explanation, my master! I will be loyal to you until death!"
Tang Xiao looked at him, smiled coldly, and said, "Because you want a space to play freely. Because you understand that Duchy of Dawn's strategic goal in the next stage is defense. Also because, Matt -Admiral Horner, Volgograd-Governor Kanidi, and Governor Ling Liang, their capabilities are sufficient to achieve the strategic goals of their respective defense zones, so the space for your existence is even smaller."
Seeing what Sefrans-Tann wanted to say, he glanced coldly, and Tann immediately shut up.
Tang Xiao continued, "Not only that, you can also see that Duchy of Dawn does not have more fleets for you to command now. The Xuanwu Titan is a defensive warship, and our newly built Titan is also an Ankilon-class. Therefore, you can only get warships from Confederacy of Independent Systems. Whether it is the Destruction of Conqueror-class or the Tenebrous of Ragnarov-class, they are all the offensive warships you desire very much. Yes or no?"
Sefrans-Tann nodded, "Yes, Master. But my loyalty..."
"But what I saw!" Tang Xiao interrupted her again, "It was you who wanted the earth-breaking reward after victory! You wanted independent military command! In a word, you thought that the power you got in Duchy of Dawn was not enough! You gave me a choice, whether to meet your request or accept your betrayal! Then tell me, if you were me, the Grand Duke, what would you do?"
"This is different! I am willing to do anything to prove my loyalty!" Sefrans-Tann said loudly.
"Then what? You want me to agree to let you go out, hanging out alone, not listening to orders, and then believe in your verbal loyalty?" Tang Xiao asked.
Sefrans-Tann stood up and began to take off his clothes one by one, completely revealing his slim, graceful, yet strong and tight body. She lowered her head and said, "Ever since the battle at Blade Fleet, I have regarded you as my only master! Until death, and forever. Everything about me belongs to you, my master... If I have any second thoughts, please master, please take my life at any time."
Tang Xiao looked at the beautiful body in front of her. Sefrans-Tann After taking off her general uniform, what appeared in front of her was a beautiful woman full of mature charm. And because she has been in the military for a long time and exercises regularly, the heroic look on her body also adds to the temptation.
But for Tang Xiao, female sex is no longer his pursuit, but just a tool.
He looked at the body in front of him that could be the dream of countless people, but he just said coldly, "This is not the first time you have used your body, Sefrans-Tann."
"That time I had no choice!" Sefrans-Tann said loudly, "My family was ruined and fell into pieces! I was alone in the wild facing endless pursuit! I had no choice! The situation now is completely different! I have more choices, but I will never choose anyone except you! You are my future! You are my life!"
She walked towards Tang Xiao step by step, the look on her face was full of determination, "I just want you to accept my loyalty."
She walked up to Tang Xiao, then slowly knelt down again and kissed his slippers.
Is it because during the Blade Fleet battle, he almost raped her and awakened some other attribute in her? Or are you simply afraid of death?
Tang Xiao looked at the beautiful female general with blue skin in front of him, but his mind was thinking about other things.
Sefrans-Tann's proposal is indeed blameless from a military perspective. Now he really needs a force to exert influence on the Neutral Alliance. At the same time, putting Sefrans-Tann there can indeed give her more space to play.
But here's the problem!
loyalty!
Sefrans-Tann obviously wants to prove her loyalty. She obviously knows very well that without the support of Duchy of Dawn, it is impossible for a fleet like hers to be alone and there will be no results. The fate of the Second Systems Army is a vivid example.
And it is useless even if she takes refuge in Confederacy of Independent Systems, because if Tang Xiao persists, then Count Dooku would indeed rather sacrifice Tann to maintain the relationship with Tang Xiao.
