"Qiang, Qiang~"

The sound of metal knives and forks hitting porcelain plates echoed throughout the empty palace.

The long oval table, which is more than ten meters long, is filled with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but there is only one person enjoying this delicacy.

He was a very thin middle-aged man with sunken eye sockets. He looked like he was seriously ill, but his appetite was extremely good. Countless foods were put into his mouth while the knife and fork were moving.

The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, looking a little fierce.

His name is Hemo Bahram, also known as Lord Bahram.

Some middle-aged men in military uniforms stood on his left and right sides, and one of the older ones reported something to him respectfully.

"According to the news from the fleet on the other side of Cangxing, the killing of Lord Helios has been confirmed, and the beheading plan has been completed successfully.

Secondly, a battleship-class stealth assault ship escaped from the interior of Cangxing. According to our current intelligence, there should be Duke Helios’ only son, Xialian Helios, on board.”

"Should?" Bahram glanced at the man from the corner of his eye.

The hidden sharpness made the middle-aged man straighten up instantly, and he quickly added.

"There is no doubt that he only has this possibility on that starship!"

Duke Bahram withdrew his gaze and continued to enjoy the food silently.

"The phase invisibility technology of the Principality of Helios is the best in the galaxy. Are you sure you won't let them escape?"

"Yes, but whether it is cutting off or entering superlight speed, the space-time fluctuations caused by it cannot be completely eradicated by today's technology.

As long as we are careful, we can completely detect it. There are only so many ways they can go, and we have laid ambushes on several space routes between the Star Sea Republic and the New Federation.

The fleet guarding the Attrumans at the border is also keeping a watchful eye, and they will never escape."

Lord Bahram nodded slightly.

"Is there any action on Helios?"

"So far, we can't see any support being sent, but it's impossible for them not to save the little prince.

So it should only be a matter of time. The fleet ambushing nearby is already waiting seriously. Maybe this afternoon, you will see the news that Helios has been occupied." The middle-aged man said seriously.

Duke Bahram silently put down his knife and fork, and the maid on one side silently stepped forward and wiped his mouth with a wet towel.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

Ten seconds have passed... Thirty seconds have passed...

While the people around were confused, deep laughter came from Duke Bahram, and gradually amplified, until it was almost crazy.

The laughter was so hearty that I even cried.

His subjects around him also laughed along with Duke Bahram, and the entire restaurant was filled with a happy atmosphere.

As Lord Bahram's laughter stopped, the laughter of the people around him also stopped.

Duke Bahram opened his sharp eyes and sighed: "Desire is really the biggest poison in the world. Does that idiot Xia Suo really think he can eat the blue star safely?

And his son, maybe he will never know until his death that the Principality of Helios will die because of him.

Sure enough, the son of an idiot will only be an idiot. It is such a shame that such a stupid bloodline is as famous as my family.

Tarkin, you have done a good job. After Helios is captured, I will let you be the district governor there."

Hearing this, Ta Jin felt happy, but he still lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Your layout is so perfect, I'm just responsible for executing it."

Duke Bahram sneered, and then he sarcastically said: "Now, the only remaining bloodline of Helios should be running around like a panicked mouse.

Let’s bring this cat and mouse game to a successful end.”

"Yes." Tarkin nodded.

"Du~"

At this time, the shrill and piercing air defense siren suddenly sounded through the clouds, like drilling holes in the sky to open a path.

Duke Bahram frowned, and his subjects looked around at a loss.

At this time, a soldier opened the door of the restaurant and walked in, his face flustered.

"Grand Duke, what's wrong, an unknown starship broke into the sky above Bahram Star!"

"What!?" Tarkin's expression suddenly changed, "How do you do things!? Where is the defense system of the star ring!? How can people directly break into our sky!?"

The soldier's face also looked a little ugly, "That's a stealth assault ship, and our detectors didn't respond at all."

In this era, both starships and fighter planes generally focus on multi-function, so there is no difference between bombers and ground and air.

However, there are aircraft that can penetrate into the enemy's important areas and carry out strategic strikes in some way.

The Kuixing Ship is this kind of battleship.

Tarkin's expression became uncertain, "What about the fluctuations in space and time? When their curvature reaches our vicinity, there must be fluctuations, right?"

"Yes, but...there are too many military and civilian ships going in and out at super-light speeds near us, and there is no specificity at all.

We did not conduct a rehearsal for the enemy to directly attack Bahram Star."

"Counterattack! Shoot down that starship."

"That assault ship was prepared for this kind of mission. It had very strong firepower. They took the lead and Starlink temporarily lost its combat capability.

I have already issued a request for help, but almost all of our fleet is outside, so we probably won’t have time to return to defense.”

At this time, not only Tarkin, but all the ministers present including Duke Bahram were a little panicked.

Tarkin looked at Duke Bahram, "Grand Duke, go quickly! Let's get out of here!"

Lord Bahram's reaction speed was also very fast. The anti-gravity system installed on his back allowed him to break away from his position and float slowly, preparing to escape from the planet in a starship with the other ministers.

But soon, his steps stalled because a communication signal was sent.

He thought for a moment, and while moving with the crowd, he connected to the communication signal.

Soon, a virtual projection appeared in front of him, a very handsome young man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. He was wearing an imperial formal suit.

It is similar to a Chinese tunic suit or a suit, but the difference is that the top has no pockets and is slanted, that is, the buttons are on the diagonal side. The hem of the top is slightly longer, and the waist and abdomen are also slightly tightened. The whole person looks very energetic and upright.

He had his hands behind his back, standing straight, with a little playfulness in his eyes.

"We finally meet, cousin," Xia Lian said.

"Speaking of which, this is our first official meeting. You are really like a shriveled cucumber as rumored."

Lord Bahram said quickly.

"Xia Lian, don't be impulsive. If you touch the Bahram Star, you will never get out of here!

Don't be stupid! You still have 400 billion people in the Principality of Helios to be responsible for!

The imperial constitution clearly stipulates that civil war is absolutely prohibited. If you move the Bahram Star, not only will you anger His Majesty, but the entire Principality of Helios will be attacked by imperial public opinion!

Everything is easy to discuss, we can give the Blue Star to you, and promise never to invade the territory of the Principality of Helios in the future!"

But Xialian didn't reply, which made Bahram even more panicked. Next, he heard another voice that instantly enveloped him with a chill.

"Your Highness, the large cleaning system has been charged and can be launched."

Lord Bahram's face turned pale instantly.

"Xia Lian! Are you crazy!?"

"Who gave you the confidence to think that I am here to reason with you?"

Xia Lian said calmly.

"I never like to reason."

Suddenly, he showed a gentle smile, which made Lord Bahram feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Well, farewell, cousin.

When you go down, remember to say hello to my father."

"Xialian!!!!"

Duke Bahram had already flown into the glass corridor leading to the hangar. He raised his head and saw a huge flying wing-shaped starship floating in the air. The front muzzle condensed a faint light. Then, countless streams of light scattered towards the earth, dotted.

It lit up half of the sky, like a divine punishment.

The blazing white light illuminated his face so pale...
