Chapter 467

“Your Majesty!”
Rao is the octopus who has experienced countless big scenes, and now he is scared to death.
He absolutely didn’t expect, a message of his own would actually make the old king vomit blood.
The intelligent AI female doctor Vermilion Bird calmly raised the half-spirit Physique arm, and the automated genetic first aid kit next to the throne immediately opened.
A robotic arm stabbed a needle filled with bright red liquid into the lungs of the old king.
After a few seconds, the old king’s complexion gradually returned to rosy, and his breathing became stronger.
The Octopus sighed in relief, but her eyes were still full of worry.
Obviously, the old king’s physical condition has reached a very serious level.
In the next period of time, I am afraid that the entire Zhulu Empire will be in the midst of wind and rain.
“Your Majesty, you should rest.”
Vermilion Bird, an intelligent AI female doctor, reminded in a stern tone.
The old king of Deer Wars waved his hand, ignoring Vermilion Bird’s suggestion.
“Old Zhang, you… continue to talk, this king needs to know how much the loss of… the civilian gathering area on Yongxing Star.”
Octopus hesitated. After a while, he said slowly: “Five of the ten civilian gathering areas have been swept away by the First Prince. Most of the labor force has been captured by the First Prince as a slave, and all property and resources have been seized by the First Prince.”
“This bastard!”
The old king thumped his fist angrily, and then coughed violently a few times.
Vermilion Bird frowned immediately behind him, and a pair of faint blue pupils urgently glanced at the old King Zhulu.
Vermilion Bird didn’t intervene after confirming that it was okay.
After all, she is just an intelligent AI, and all her actions must be in order to serve the old king.
The old king took a few breaths and cursed weakly: “That unfilial son has left all the king’s education for many years behind! This king has warned him countless times, The king of a country should fear his own people, and he should not let the people fear the king. If the people fear the king, they will rise up and overthrow the tyranny!”
“cough cough! This truth, that unfilial Why doesn’t son understand?”
“In order to win, he doesn’t look for the right way, but blindly by fair means or foul, even a good Yongxing satellite citizen can’t make a living!”
“How can this king let such a person inherit the throne of Zhulu Empire?!”
A determined look flashed in the old king’s eyes.
The Octopus octopus looked confused, “Your Majesty, do you need me to send someone to intervene?”
The old king sighed heavily, leaning his head up against the man who was dissatisfied with the antlers and thorns. On the back of the chair, the pain caused by those steel-blade-like antlers can’t be considered at this time.
“Forget it.”
After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed and said, “This king once said that this king will never interfere with the assessment between the children. Favoritism, we will talk about everything after the assessment. The misfortunes suffered by the civilians on the Yongxing satellite will also be appeased after the assessment.”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
The octopus is calmly nodded.
In fact, this is not a good way.
The octopus also knew in his heart that the old king did not stop First Prince for the sake of “non-interference” in the game.
The real reason is that the old king is powerless now.
Behind the four heirs, there is a regent to support them.
The backer behind First Prince is the Eastern Regent who holds the economic lifeline of the entire Zhulu Empire.
The backer behind Second Prince is the Western Regent who holds military power over the entire Zhulu Empire.
The supporter behind Little Prince is the southern regent who controls the upper-level relationship network of the entire Zhulu Empire.
Only the supporters behind Third Princess Li Binglin are the regents of the north.
However, among the four regents, the one who can’t be bothered the most is precisely the northern regent.
Even the old king who fought for the deer had to show respect to Xiang Fan, the regent of the north, and the regents of other parties dared not to be disrespectful to Xiang Fan.
What they dare not do, Xiang Fan dares to do.
What they can do, they may not dare to do.
These four regents basically control the entire Zhulu Empire.
Although the old king was seriously ill, his mind was not confused at all.
Doesn’t he know which of his four sons and daughters is more suitable for the next king?
No.
He already had the right person in mind.
But the question is, how to balance the power of the four regents is the most important thing.
While he was alive, he could also suppress the four regents.
But once he is dead, who will suppress the four regents?
He must ensure that future heirs have a good starting point.
So, it seems that this assessment is to test the four sons, but the real intention is to take this opportunity to let the four regents fight and weaken each other.
If you give the old king a few more years of lifespan, maybe things don’t have to be so troublesome. He can easily weaken the regent by taking action himself.
But his health was deteriorating too fast.
Not even the smart AIVermilion Bird can do it.
Therefore, although the old king was very angry with the First Prince’s actions, because of the eastern regent behind the First Prince, the old king could only bear it.
The octopus keenly smelled the old king’s sunset, Western Mountain, and the hero’s twilight.
Thinking of how faithfully he has served the old king for so many years, the octopus octopus’s face can’t help but show a trace of sadness.
Other ministers regarded him as a beast, but he was extremely loyal to the old king in his heart.
It is precisely because of this unreserved loyalty that other ministers dare not commit the slightest deviance.
The old king noticed the octopus’s expression.
He smiled dumbly: “Old Zhang, you don’t have to be sad. You just need to remember that you will always be loyal to the master of this throne.”
The octopus immediately fell to her knees: “Your Majesty, please don’t say such things, Your Majesty’s body will definitely recover.”
The old king shook his hand, “It’s been more than ten years… This king has lived in vain for more than ten years, which is enough. Get up, and report to me about the colony.”
“Yes.”
Octopus wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, and pointed at the hologram The chart on the screen continued:
“Ranked 3rd is the Yongning Colony where Second Prince is located.”
“The total area of Yongning Colony has now reached twenty square kilometers. , the total population has reached 2,000, and in terms of resource points, 2,000 resource points can be regularly obtained every day. Economic achievements, military construction, and public opinion scores are all at an average level.”
The old king frowned and asked: “This king Remember, the initial data of the Yongning Star Colony is similar to the current data? Why hasn’t this Second Prince improved at all?”
Octopus Report: “Your Majesty, according to my spy Intelligence, Second Prince spends all his time and does not think about government affairs. All the construction of the base is handed over to a War General commander of the Imperial Army dispatched by the Western Regent.”
“Oh? The Empire Army?” The old king looked thoughtful.
The Western Regent controls most of the Zhulu Empire’s imperial military power, and it is very easy to assign a War General-level commander to manage the Yongning Colony.
But the old king didn’t think it would be that simple.
Sure enough, Octopus Octopus continued: “At present, the colony of Zhengyongning Star is already full of Imperial Army troops, and the source of troops is still growing secretly. If this continues, by the end of the assessment, Second With the strength in Prince’s hands, I am afraid that any colony can be destroyed.”
