Walk alone in the abyss

This is a video that went viral in the galactic world of human civilization.

The video content is not long, only six minutes;

But the content presented in it has become an incomparable super concentrated bullet in the fields of public opinion, thought, culture and so on.

At the very beginning of the video, on the square full of flowers, the protagonist of this video—His Majesty Edwan, Emperor of the Luofeng Empire, who was dressed up to attend his promotion ceremony, waved to the densely packed crowd in the square.

Some text tags appeared in the video, explaining who the officials of the Luofeng Empire were.

Edwan's label is gold, and Yang Ming's label is silver, which is particularly eye-catching.

The scene switched to the reception after the emperor's succession ceremony. Edwan walked into a somewhat dark passage with his head down. His back looked so heavy.

The screen switched again, this is the screen shot from Yang Ming's perspective.

"We can't have a second chance, Ming, we can't be too anxious, we must think through every step."

Edwan, who had taken off his tuxedo, was wearing loose pajamas, holding a wine bottle in his hand. He had just taken the throne with a sad expression on his face.

"The Sherman Empire is too powerful.

"Our Luofeng is too small.

"I even, even felt that my father was right. I was in this room at the beginning. I told him that we are heading towards democracy and independence, and we can no longer let the Sherman Empire continue to suck blood. Our fifth The administrative planet has become a planet of extreme poverty, and their blood has become the wine in the wine cup of the nobles of the Sherman Empire.

"We have to revise those treaties."

Yang Ming's voice-over sounded: "And then?"

"I was scolded by my father, then kicked out of the palace, and lived outside for more than ten years."

Edwan sighed and walked slowly to the window:

"I haven't seen any real hope yet, Ming, can we succeed?"

"Yes, Edwan, if you can't do it in five years, you can take ten years, and if you can't do it in ten years, you can do it in a hundred years."

"Yes, we can fight for a hundred years." Edwan puffed up his chest, "I must lead Luofeng to the road of independence, I must let Luofeng's imperial power and noble class disappear before I abdicate, Don’t be dependent on a powerful country, and protect my people, Ming, will you help me?”

"You can definitely do it."

Amidst Ming's words, the screen went dark.

A desk lamp was flickering in the darkness, behind Edwan's figure working at the desk, the clock was constantly turning, and consecutive dates appeared in the lower left corner.

This is not a special effect or artificially produced CG image, but a condensed day and night silhouette in more than ten seconds.

Light appeared in dark corners.

Luofeng's economic index keeps rising, and Luofeng's army has completed its reform and preparation.

The screen changed, and Edwang happily talked about the idea of ​​the Luofeng Alliance. As the audience, Yang Ming and the girlish Emilia just kept thinking.

"Yes! You are right!

"Let the small countries bullied by the big countries unite! We will treat these small countries with fairness and equality, and we will definitely achieve certain results!

"We still need to help these small countries in terms of technology and economy... But, will the New Federation become our hindrance? They plunder their social wealth in the markets of these small countries."

"Are we still afraid of offending the New Federation? They are sworn enemies in the first place," Yang Ming said with a smile, "But we can also communicate with them when necessary. Our current goal is to get Luofeng rid of the continuous blood-sucking of the Sherman Empire."

"Oh, I can't bear to chat with these hypocritical new federal politicians."

Edwan's face was full of disgust, and then he laughed:

"However, that's what a leader does, it's my responsibility, and I'll take care of it."

Screen switching is another non-stop work.

Visits, research, and continuous meetings, the picture is frozen in a meeting with fierce quarrels.

"The aristocratic system of the Luofeng Empire must be substantially abolished!"

A rare look of anger appeared on Edwan's tired face:

"Did the Luofeng nobles contribute to technological breakthroughs, or did they improve the people's livelihood? Their property is constantly being transferred outwards, and they have become blood-sucking insects on the people!

"If economic means can't move them, then use military means to enforce it!

"Luofeng doesn't need nobles, what Luofeng needs is capable talents! Our official assessment is not for any nobles, even those with the background of the Sherman Empire!"

The screen switched to Luofeng's press conference announcing that the aristocracy would no longer participate in politics.

The scene returned to Edwan's office in the bedroom.

Working around the clock, Luofeng's economy continues to rise.

Edwan was in constant contact with the leaders of the first group of members of the Luofeng Alliance;

A steady figure of a woman began to appear beside him, that was Edwan's girlfriend, who was in charge of taking care of Edwan's life.

The life of the emperor was frugal, because he had no time to enjoy life, and he gave all his time to the job of the emperor.

In the emperor's bedroom late at night, Edwan turned off the teleconference, sat there wearily, and grinned silly.

"Tomorrow is Emilia's birthday," he murmured, "I need to spend some time with her."

"Your Majesty," my girlfriend walked over and hugged Edwan behind her back, "I should serve you in bed."

"Sorry," Edwan said with a smile, "I can't give you the title you deserve."

"I understand," said the beautiful girlfriend softly. "You don't want my family to become new nobles. We have reached a consensus on this a long time ago, don't you? It's just, Edwan, I want a child, you It's time to have a baby too, we're in perfect health..."

"But... sorry, I don't want an heir."

"Why? Don't you like children? I can understand..."

"I like children."

Edwan sighed:

"However, we have to look backwards, in case, I mean in case, our ideals really blossom and bear fruit, our falling wind strips off the word empire, and we move towards a cabinet system or a democratic republic.

"My child is likely to become a puppet kidnapped by the old forces seeking restoration.

"I can't force my child to be an idealist, and I can't guarantee that he will ruin our efforts for power.

"We have paid a lot, the people have endured the exploitation of the hegemony for too long.

"A democratic country doesn't need inheritance... I don't want to have children is the best choice."

"I understand you," the girlfriend said with a smile, "I can accept it, and I love you."

"I love you too."

The late night kiss gradually fades away;

All efforts started to go on the right track.

The Luofeng Alliance was established, and the Sherman Empire exerted crazily pressure. Edwan continued to suffer from insomnia, and he was also haggard, but his eyes were still clear and firm.

The Sherman Empire was looking for an agent, Luofeng and the United Kingdom of Nonar had two wars, and the Luofeng Alliance began to rise rapidly.

Edwane was elected chairman of the League Council.

The Sherman Empire strangled Luofeng's economy in all directions, actively looking for new agents, and was about to break the legs of the Luofeng Empire that were about to stand up.

The left and right mirrors appear on the screen.

Edwan lost control of his emotions due to too much pressure, swept away the desktop in front of him, and winked vigorously while sitting in the chair;

The Luofeng League is full of joy and encouragement, and people happily celebrate the local festivals;

The ministers kept sighing, and someone tentatively said some words of compromise, but Edwan just shook his head.

"We've come this far, there's no reason to hold back, there's no reason to give up.

"Now the people of Luofeng, the people of the Luofeng Alliance, are the closest to being truly independent and not being bullied by foreign powers. We have made so much effort, why should we give up?

"If the empire wants to fight, then we will fight!

"Aren't we ready to shed blood? If Luofeng doesn't experience a war, he won't be able to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. The prosperity we have created now is just false. If we can't support it, everything will collapse .”

"But Your Majesty, we can hold on now, but what about three months later? Five months later? The national power of the empire is crushing for us."

"Your Majesty, as far as the current situation is concerned, we really cannot resist the coercion of the empire. The empire is too powerful, so powerful that we are desperate. Although they are now on an expedition to the New Federation, it is only the resistance exerted by marginal forces. We will It's unbearable."

"Your Majesty, if letting me die can solve the current problem, I am willing to die, but..."

"Everyone!"

Edwan stood up and slowly lowered his head to the conference table.

"The future destiny of this country depends on everyone, but we are now sitting in the position of decision-makers, we must shoulder this responsibility and resist this pressure.

"We will surely usher in a turning point, there must be a way to ease the empire's encirclement and suppression of us!

"Please believe me! Please give me a certain amount of time!"

Sigh.

The desperate eyes of the ministers.

There are still carefree people on the streets.

After the meeting, Edwan locked himself in the office, took a few bottles of wine, and then sat there facing the wall in a daze.

he is trying to find a way;

He must find a way;

he……

"Your Majesty," Gui Na's voice-over sounded, "The Sherman Empire may send a mission to us. After exerting extreme pressure, they should try to subdue us again."

Edwan sighed, he got up and walked to the sofa.

"I'll sleep for a while, and ask Ming if there is any good way."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Screen transition.

"The imperial formation still has 70 minutes to arrive, and you just slept for less than 50 minutes.

"Do you want to inject you with a sleeping reagent? Pretend to be sick to avoid possible troubles in the empire this time."

"Do you want me to sleep well?"

Edwan was stunned for a while holding the sleeping reagent, then returned to the room, and said a few words to his girlfriend.

"Something went wrong... The two fleets supporting the Empire led by Gudun Maha have been surrounded by the elite fleets of the Imperial Expeditionary Force..."

"The fleet that supported the empire was in turn divided and surrounded by the elite fleet of the empire?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you heard that right. But the ministers judged that the empire would not directly attack its own subject country, which would destroy their credibility with the subject country. These are the original words of General Yang Ming."

"This Lorna."

Edwan sneered, and he began to pace back and forth in the office, thinking about something.

The screen changes, the imperial mission is about to arrive, Edwan is about to put on the patch of the sleeping reagent.

He stopped the assistant's movements, his Adam's apple trembled, and he wanted to think for a few more minutes;

He asked the people around him what the empire could do to control Luofeng. The Sherman Empire had laid the groundwork so much, so there must be a plan. If he went, would he be replaced like his father?

"Your Majesty Edwan, you don't have to think too much."

"What about the fleet that Gudun Maha took away? There are 600,000 Luofeng soldiers on it, which is one-third of our weak army!"

Quarrel, disagreement.

The assistant wanted to force Edwan into a coma, but Edwan was struggling violently, and finally kept yelling and threw the sleeping reagent aside.

The screen switches, and Edwan leaves the palace and enters the ships of the Sherman Empire.

Sitting in front of Princess Rona, he rejected the contract that Rona offered;

He turned to leave, and a line of maids appeared ahead, ramming him, puncturing his skin with tiny spikes.

Edwan's body trembled and slowly fell down, and the maids bowed their heads and disappeared in the corridor of the spaceship.

He leaned on the wall and walked forward little by little, but the background sound of the screen became a conversation between him and Yang Ming.

"What do you think? Edwan? I'm on my way to Gudun Mahal."

"It's useless, Ming. We must avoid the empire's strangulation now. We don't have enough time, and the empire doesn't allow us to escape from their control. Our developed economy is just a piece of fat in their eyes. What can you do?" ?”

"Edwan! Don't be too idealistic! What they are going to do now is what they did to your father back then!"

"That's our chance, Ming."

"Are you stupid? Do you know what they did to your father?"

"Replacement, omnic replacement, and you have the means to contain this omnic, just like how it affected my father back then, right?"

Yang Ming was silent.

"This is the opportunity, Luofeng's only chance, otherwise no matter who becomes the emperor, the Sherman family can use the same means to control Luofeng in their hands."

"But, Edwane, that's unreasonable."

"There is nothing rational or unreasonable in politics. We have come all the way, and we are only two steps away from success."

Edwan's walking body could no longer support himself.

The quarrel became gradually distant.

Edwan's voice kept shouting.

"If you respect me, do what I want! I am the emperor..."

"Promise me that the future throne will be given to Emilia. I believe that Emilia will be better than me. He will perfectly replace my role and continue our business. Also, and..."

Edwan supported the bulkhead of the cabin, and his body slowly slid down. He sat there, looking at the light source of the ship.

"Promise me, the Luofeng Alliance must abide by the three principles we set, and the people of Luofeng will usher in a new era of democracy, freedom, rule of law, fairness and independence..."

"Promise me, Ming."

"Revolution must pay sacrifices, and the first sacrifice should be the emperor of this country."

Yang Ming's voice was hoarse: "I promise."

"Thanks."

Organs are rapidly failing and vision is slowly blurring.

Edwane suddenly laughed.

He closed his eyes, sat weakly in the cabin, and a strand of hair slowly fell off.

The background sound turned into a harsh 'ding' sound, and the picture gradually sank into darkness.

"Tell me... Forget it, I'm not qualified to love her."

Video ends.

Throughout the entire Luofeng Empire, the entire Luofeng Alliance, wherever there is a screen, people stand there or sit there in a daze, watching the darkening scene in front of them.

Ellandor became so quiet;

The deep starry sky seems to be only the background noise;

The human civilization in the Milky Way is spreading this story.

The Luofeng Imperial Palace, the corner of the bedroom.

Emilia knelt on the ground, and was still crying uncontrollably under the comfort of several female ministers.

Yang Ming walked in front of Emilia, and said in a low voice, "Five minutes, adjust your mood."

Emilia didn't seem to hear, still crying with her head buried.

Yang Ming secretly sighed in his heart.

He shouldn't be here, showing this video edited by Li to the ministers, generals, and Emilia.

Yang Ming adjusted the military uniform on his body, raised his hand and made a gesture.

The door of the sleeping hall opened, and two rows of well-dressed guards lined up at the same time. Before and after the desk in the sleeping hall, two groups of floating balls appeared.

The Luofeng League's broadcast on all channels throughout the territory has officially begun.

The picture that appeared on the broadcast was this empty desk and the ministers standing around it.

The audience was silent.

Footsteps sounded, and Yang Ming, dressed in Luofeng military uniform and carrying the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, appeared in the center of the screen, standing in front of the desk.

He was silent, just staring at the camera.

And this silence seemed to be able to connect with all the people in the Luofeng League who were watching the live broadcast.

"Yes! We have long known about the evil plan carried out by the Sherman Empire."

Yang Ming raised his chest and raised his head, his voice seemed to be roaring:

"His Majesty Edwan's father was controlled by the Sherman Empire with omnics for nearly ten years!

"In the past ten years, the Luofeng Empire has been deeply exploited by the Sherman Empire! The annual silver we pay has continued to increase! The industrial chain we have worked so hard to build has been easily taken away by the empire. All technologies must use imperial patents, and social wealth is serious. Outflow, on the fifth administrative planet of the Luofeng Empire, has caused extremely serious poverty! We even have such extremely ridiculous events as poor people starving to death!

"When I arrived at Luofeng for the first time, the pictures I saw shocked me extremely!

"Is this the age of interstellar? Is this the Sherman Empire's asylum country, which claims to be the happiest in the galaxy?

"This is the evil result of the Sherman Emperor's replacement plan!"

He sighed softly, his expression gradually becoming serious:

"When I met His Majesty Edwan, he was just a marginalized second prince. Why was he marginalized? Because he tried to fight and was abandoned by the previous emperor who hadn't been replaced.

"The former emperor before he was replaced once thought about how to get rid of the control of the Sherman Empire and how to feed the only one billion citizens, but the final result was that he was powerless to change anything and could only abandon A son so similar to himself when he was young.

"At that time, desperation gripped the country.

"Edwan was intoxicated, he didn't know how to save his people, he didn't know how to win the war against the Sherman Empire.

"But we are always lucky that Edwan did not give up completely.

"After being kicked out of the palace, His Royal Highness the Second Prince showed outstanding economic acumen. He began to establish economic organizations. He continued to invest in the Sherman Empire, the New Federation and other places, trying to increase Luofeng's impact on these two giants. The influence of the hegemony.

"Even if it only increases the extremely weak influence.

"He kept looking for ways and paths to save the country, and his disappointments accumulated into despair, but despair did not overwhelm him, nothing overwhelmed him!

"Then, I became his general.

"Then, we seized the throne of the Luofeng Empire, because only in this way can we find the only and only way that makes Luofeng independent.

"Edwan has been blaming himself for this, and I've always felt that Edwane didn't know that his father was replaced by Sherman Empire.

"What happened later, you should have seen it in the video... The video was recorded by me, and it was also recorded with Edwan's consent.

"From no way to no way.

"From no opportunity to now that the opportunity is close at hand, we, our officials and generals have paid a lot, the people have paid hard work and trust in Luofeng's regime, and Edwan has given everything he has."

"His everything!"

Yang Ming's eye circles were a little red, but he forcibly endured it.

Soldiers don't need to choke.

"Now!

"The Luofeng Alliance has become an important alliance regime in the galaxy!

"Now!

"We already have the military strength to protect the Luofeng Empire and the Luofeng Alliance!

"Now!

"The evil plan of the Sherman Empire has been exposed! The Sherman Empire's conspiracy to harvest the dependent countries in exchange for its own internal crisis has been completely bankrupt!

"So far, seven dependent countries have declared independence! The angry people of the dependent countries are denouncing the evil actions of the Sherman Empire! The democratic and free camps in the galaxy have severely condemned the Sherman Empire!

"Edwan bought the development time with his life! It has made us ready to face the storm!"

Behind Yang Ming, two elderly people appeared on the scene at the same time.

Goutun Mahal on the left, Leon Darbic on the right.

Yang Ming took a sharp breath:

"Soldiers of Luofeng Empire!

"The tragic death of His Majesty Edwan, isn't it enough to make you angry!

"Soldiers of the Luofeng Alliance!

"Now we are already a community with entangled destiny! Whether the era when the member states are exploited by foreign powers is far away from us or continues to come, it all depends on the follow-up battle!

"We must show our ships and cannons to any incoming enemy!

"Luofeng is not afraid of any threats!

"Luofeng will definitely demand justice from the Sherman Empire!

"In the name of the Chairman of the Military Committee of the Luofeng Alliance, I order the entire army of the Luofeng Alliance to prepare for war! The elite fleet of the Luofeng Empire must gather immediately! The Luofeng Alliance has launched a wartime unified management agreement!"

Behind Yang Ming, Gu Dun Maha and Leon Darbic saluted at the same time.

In the screen that the public watched, all the generals of the Luofeng Alliance appeared in different parts of the screen at the same time, saluting at the same time.

The "yes" roared in unison shook everyone's nerves.

Yang Ming waited for more than ten seconds, gave a military salute to the camera, turned his head and stepped aside.

Gutung Mahal saluted forward.

He said in a deep voice:

"The Luofeng Empire has experienced such a huge change, and our hearts are extremely sad.

"At this moment, we are facing many challenges, and the Sherman Empire will definitely exert extreme pressure on us, and the possibility of sending a large number of fleets to deal with us cannot be ruled out.

"We can't rest, otherwise we won't be able to breathe.

"We have to go all out or we'll be cosmic dust under the barrels of the Sherman Empire dreadnoughts.

"We must follow His Majesty Edwan's will!

"In the name of the Supreme Commander of the Luofeng Empire, I declare that the army of the Luofeng Empire swears allegiance to His Majesty Emilia, the successor of His Majesty Edwan!"

Gutun Mahal saluted and backed away.

The Prime Minister and the First Minister of Foreign Affairs stepped forward at the same time, bowing and saluting to the camera.

"The Central Government Office of the Luofeng Empire swears allegiance to His Majesty Emilia, the successor of His Majesty Edwan!"

"The Foreign Office of the Luofeng Empire, together with the ambassadors of the Luofeng Empire to various countries, swear allegiance to His Majesty Emilia, the successor of His Majesty Edwan!"

Yang Ming gave a military salute and appeared in the center of the camera again:

"His Royal Highness Emilia's succession ceremony is starting now, please Your Highness Emilia!"

After Yang Ming finished speaking, he turned his head and looked towards the corner.

The angle of view slowly turns.

Emilia bit her lip and stood up, wiped away the tears on her face, and raised her hand to tie up her messy long hair.

She pursed her lips, and under the moist eye sockets, there was a firm gaze, a belief that would not dim!

Lift the hem of the skirt and step forward quickly.

Emilia stood in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming shouted: "Salute!"

Swish!

The generals and officers present, the officers of the Luofeng Alliance who participated remotely, the figures in military uniforms in every corner of the ships of the Luofeng Alliance, and the retired soldiers guarding the broadcast saluted simultaneously.

The officials present and all over the place bowed to Emilia at the same time.

Emilia nodded slightly at Yang Ming, then turned to look at the camera, and stood in front of Yang Ming.

On her snow-white and slender neck, her head was raised slightly.

People waited for her words, and when she spoke, her voice was hoarse.

"Today...sorry."

Emilia looked aside, Edwan's girlfriend understood, and immediately ran to bring a glass of water.

Emilia took two sips of water, then exhaled lightly, and said loudly:

"I declare that the Luofeng Empire will be renamed the Luofeng Democratic Republic starting today, will no longer recognize the "Suzerain Treaty" of the Sherman Empire, and will no longer be politically tied to the Sherman Empire to any extent.

"All natives of the Luofeng Empire will automatically obtain citizenship of the Luofeng Democratic Republic!

"The original political system and economic system of the Luofeng Empire remain unchanged, the qualifications and property rights of all enterprises are fully valid, and the laws of the Luofeng Empire remain unchanged for the time being!

"The Luofeng Democratic Republic will uphold the principles of democracy, equality, freedom, and the rule of law, and strive to become a bright star in the human civilization of the Milky Way.

"The Luofeng Democratic Republic automatically inherits all the powers and obligations of the Luofeng Empire within the Luofeng Alliance.

"As Emperor Luofeng, I automatically become the first president of the Luofeng Democratic Republic and the chairman of the Luofeng Alliance Council."

After finishing speaking, Emilia exhaled softly, bowed her head in silence for a few seconds, then looked up again.

"People of Luofeng League, we don't have much time to condemn and mourn.

"The powerful fleet of the Sherman Empire is already on its way to invade us.

"Our Luofeng Alliance is a peace-loving force and a closely united political system. We will always uphold the principles of democracy and freedom.

"The next battle is the battle of fate for our Luofeng Alliance, and the battle of life and death for our Luofeng Democratic Republic!

"Soldiers of the Luofeng Alliance!

"Let the shameless invaders feel your wrath!

"People of Luofeng Alliance!

"Until I fall, no one will be able to plunder your wealth, violate your freedom, or destroy your homeland!

"I will stand with all the people!

"I will do everything to protect our common ideals!

"Fight!

"People oppressed by empires and powers!

"Fight!

"For the future of our descendants!

"For us to live with dignity!

"I, Emilia Luofeng, swear on my brother's honor, I will fight for this in my life!"

This counts as more.
