Chapter 860 859
"Boom!" The earth shook, startling countless birds.
The nearby guards watched in astonishment as the entire huge palace began to slowly sink.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Why is the hall sinking?"
"It seems...someone activated the palace's emergency evacuation system!"
"Emergency refuge system? How is that possible! That thing hasn't been turned on for hundreds of years, could it be an intruder?"
"There is no sign of intrusion at all? Could it be a misoperation?"
"How is it possible, only His Majesty is authorized to activate the emergency evacuation system of the palace..."
……
There was chaos outside the hall, and the inside of the hall was also filled with turmoil!
"Buzz!" Dozens of golden beams of light rose suddenly, forming a golden cage, trapping Nie Yun in it.
At the same time, everyone present could clearly feel the sense of falling, and the light from the outside world was rapidly dimming.
Although Nie Yun couldn't hear the conversations of the princes in the distance, judging from the panicked movements of everyone, it was obvious that he was caught off guard by this sudden change.
He looked at the emperor on the throne with astonishment.
Nie Yun really didn't expect that the other party would choose such an opportunity to attack suddenly.
The entire palace he was in was accelerating towards the depths of the earth.
Do not!Not just slipping off!
During the descent of the palace, the running direction also has obvious angle changes. It is obviously turning and changing direction, and the trajectory of the movement is like a child's graffiti.
Under the Emperor Star, there is a huge network of underground passages!
"This is the emergency refuge system of the imperial palace. Once encountering an irresistible foreign invasion, the entire palace will sink deep into the heart of the earth.
In the maze-like escape passage, there will be more than ten identical palaces operating in orbit at the same time to confuse intruders.
Therefore, unless the entire Emperor Star is destroyed and the real body of the palace is found, outsiders will absolutely not be able to come in and disturb the ceremony. "
The smiling emperor introduced Nie Yun leisurely.
"The main body of the entire Emperor Star is made of extremely dense lapis lazuli, even if it is bombarded with heavy artillery, it will take a day or two to blast it apart.
Moreover, it is isolated from all detections from the outside world, and at the same time it cannot communicate with the outside world. "
Nie Yun: "..."
Obviously, some things seemed to exceed the expectations of His Majesty.
But...the palace they are in seems to have become an isolated island that no one can disturb?
Reminiscent of the sentence the other party just said...
Ceremony of abdication of the throne!
Is this the purpose of the other party?
Cut off all interference, and discuss how to distribute the inheritance behind closed doors?
At this moment, all the qualified successor princes are there, and they are all unprepared.
This... I seem to have unintentionally created an excellent opportunity for the other party?
However, this kind of matter where my family discusses the distribution of inheritance behind closed doors, why can't I, an outsider, be present?
"Being able to decipher the core technology of the legendary mecha, and having the strength to compete with the empire for the heritage of advanced civilizations, all things will come together, is eligible to be the honored guest of this grand ceremony.
and……"
As if seeing Nie Yun's doubts, the emperor continued.
"Besides, someone is very interested in the power behind you." The emperor smiled meaningfully.
Is anyone interested in the forces behind me?who?
Before Nie Yun could ask again, a group of princes with different faces had already rushed up.
"Father, what's going on? Why did the emergency evacuation system start automatically?"
The Ninth Prince walked up to the emperor in three or two steps, showing a completely different intimacy from the others.
But apart from doubts, Nie Yun could clearly hear the joy and excitement in the Ninth Prince's heart.
It seems... this guy knows something?
The fourth and eighth princes looked at Nie Yun who was trapped in the cage, and their expressions changed.
"Father, could it be that he wants to harm you?"
"Damn it, tell me! Who the hell sent you here?"
"Father, my son is eager to save my father, and if I mistrust others, my son is guilty!"
No matter what kind of doubts and thoughts these people had in their hearts, they instinctively distanced themselves from Nie Yun immediately.
Just kidding, everyone was arrested by the emperor. Of course, at this time, it is a dead friend who is not dead!
Nie Yun in the cage couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Good guy, these politicians can turn their faces faster than a book!
"Hmm! They are all my good sons."
The emperor seemed to want to show a kind smile, but his haggard face couldn't achieve even a similar effect.
"This matter is not urgent, for the empire, my life is not worth mentioning, but before I swallow my last breath, I must fulfill the responsibilities assigned to me by the empire.
I can foresee that my body is probably running out of time..."
After hearing the emperor's words, the hearts of the princes jumped, and they vaguely understood something.
"So today, I'm going to hold the Ceremony of Abdication of the Throne. Among you, I will choose a successor to inherit the power of the empire!"
Even though they had guessed, when the emperor really said what they expected, most of the princes showed uncontrollable excitement and nervousness.
After dozens of years of competition, fighting, and waiting, what they were waiting for was the verdict of fate at this moment?
Among the crowd, only the second prince looked gloomy and said nothing.
He already saw that today's events were extraordinary.
Let alone whether this is an assassination or not, even if it is an assassination, there is no need to activate the emergency evacuation system and create an isolated island to trap everyone underground.
Not to mention the convening of the abdication ceremony of the throne under such a weird situation.
He tried to contact the outside world, but all the news disappeared.
And he knew in his heart that even if he got in touch, outsiders must not risk the world's disgrace and directly attack Dixing, let alone he is still here, do you want to die together?
"Father, don't you think that my decision today is a bit too hasty and hasty?
Without a grand guard of honor, without witnesses from hundreds of officials, such a renunciation ceremony would be too child's play, who would be convinced if it was told! " said the second prince.
There wasn't even much respect in his tone.
The rest of the princes glanced at each other, with jokes and mockery in their expressions.
In their eyes, the current situation is very clear, the key is who does the emperor want to surrender to?
Under normal circumstances, they would think that the second prince has the best chance.
Not to mention the power of the second prince inside and outside the imperial capital, but the fleet under the command of Grand Duke Horton controls the lifeblood of the empire.
As long as someone other than the second prince succeeds to the throne, it is equivalent to starting a civil war in the empire!
All of them were even mentally prepared that the emperor would announce to the entire empire at any time that he would abdicate the throne to the second prince.
After all, the advantages accumulated by the second prince are too great.
Even they felt that if they stood in the position of the emperor, they would definitely choose the second prince in the end.
However, today's weird situation made them see a turning point!
If it was a normal abdication, the emperor would not need to make such a big move, even using the emergency evacuation system that would never be easily activated on the emperor star.
Because even if such a result is announced, there is absolutely no resistance.
Both the second prince and His Majesty the Emperor agreed to the result, but the other princes dared not and did not have the strength to oppose it.
Anything abnormal is a demon!
Under such circumstances, why did His Majesty the Emperor trap everyone deep in the center of the earth to hold the abdication ceremony? Who is he guarding against?
Isn't it obvious?
"Second brother's words are wrong. He hastened to follow the authority, and the father is in poor health. Naturally, it is impossible to follow the usual practice in everything!"
The fourth prince was the first to stand up and support.
Although the second prince has no chance, the throne may not necessarily fall on him, but the most favored ninth brother has a greater chance.
But everyone has luck.
Even if it's not me, it's not wrong to kick out the one with the greatest chance first!
"That's right, my son has no objection to any of the emperor's decisions!" The eighth prince also came out to support him.
The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come out, Dusk."
The next moment, the lights and shadows intertwined, slowly condensing into a soft and beautiful female figure in a golden dress.
Nie Yun's eyes froze.
This woman frowns and smiles like a real person, but Nie Yun sees the shadow of Li Ming and the code name in her eyes...
Didn't it mean that the advanced artificial intelligence of Woolf Empire was 404, what's the situation?
"Your Majesty!" Guangying bowed to the emperor.
"This is Dusk, the controller of the entire Emperor Star, and the witness of this abdication ceremony.
Whoever becomes the successor of the empire in the end will get the allegiance of Dusk and gain control of the entire Emperor Star!
Do you think this is convincing enough? "
The second prince was speechless.
The emperor star represents the highest authority of the empire, just like the emperor's scepter.
Not only that, it is said that deep in the Emperor Star, there is also buried the most secret institution in the entire empire that only the Emperor can touch.
To be able to gain control of it is undoubtedly the most orthodox heir.
No one can fake this!
The second prince's heart sank slightly, and he looked at the emperor on the throne coldly.
He didn't expect that the emperor would trap himself here in such a way, forcing himself to accept the result.
Do you really want to die?
"Okay! The emperor abdicates at this time, and the minister has no objection.
But for the sake of the rise and fall of the empire, please think carefully about it, don't be confused for a while... ruin the future and lifeline of the empire! "
