Chapter 578: The Shortest Reign in History
Su Chen''s exnation immediately prompted the two Spies to react.
Spy Number One had been posing as the City Lord, but Spy Number Two had been impersonating non-existent characters, making it much more convenient for him to act as he pleased.
As Su Chen had pointed out, when Spy Number Three pretended to be the Ghost Master, any idental slip-up could expose him. The Ghost Master possessed an ability simr to Magic, something Spy Number Three did not possess.
Speaking of the abilities used by the Ghost Master, Su Chen now understood that these were the original abilities of the Ghost n. However, since the appearance of the Ghost Patterns, these abilities had been suppressed, causing most of the Ghost n to be unable to use them. As for those members of the former Ghost n who did not possess Ghost Patterns, each of them was a Ghost Master, but bing a powerful Ghost Master still required talent.
The former Ghost n was a naturally gifted magical race, while thetter Ghost n were born warriors. Even without Taru''s presence, Su Chen would have incorporated the Ghost n into his fold.
Spy Number Three had been recognized as a top actor by Commander, and Spy Numbers One and Two exchanged a knowing look, agreeing with this assessment. At least, it was better than bing the Emperor, which the other side had managed to avoid.
Negotiations were not something that could be concluded quickly. They talked for a long time before summoning other professional negotiators to finalize the negotiations.
Rtively speaking, the agreement reached this time was fair, but due to the overwhelming strength of humanity, the Ghost n had to make several concessions.
In the end, the Ghost n possessed ten territories, while humanity had forty territories, and both sides agreed not to encroach on each other''s territories. They would also establish some trade cities along their borders since some of the Ghost n''s items were valuable to humans.Conversely, human technology was considered valuable to the Ghost n.
With the battle finally over, the matter of Prince Hewlett''s coronation was brought up.
However, those who had already joined the Red Alert Empire were left in a quandary. Once the new kingdom was established, what would happen to the residents belonging to the Red Alert Empire?
At this point, those who had not yet joined the Red Alert Empire began to celebrate, wearing smug expressions, and loudly proiming the establishment of the new kingdom, suggesting that the Red Alert Empire was doomed.
The residents who had already joined the Red Alert Empire were filled with anxiety, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, the formerly highly regarded residents of the Red Alert Empire seemed to be second-ss citizens.
The residents of the Red Alert Empire began to seek connections, inquiring of those high-ranking individuals belonging to the Red Alert Empire about the future direction of the empire.
However, they received no response, as if they had been abandoned.
A few dayster, Prince Hewlett''s coronation ceremony began.
Using the technology of the Red Alert Base, news of the coronation was transmitted to all corners of Yan Yun Star. Su Chen had finally filled Yan Yun Star''s skies with various satellites, leaving no corner of Yan Yun Star outside his watchful gaze.
In a grand and majestic Royal Pce, Prince Hewlett wore a special regal attire for kings as he ascended the throne step by step. He wore a crown on his head and held a scepter in his hand, and at this moment, all eyes were on him.
Typically, for a Prince to be a king, he had to report to the overseeing their sector of the gxy. They had to await the results before formally ascending the throne.
However, the current situation was unusual, as they all knew that the overseeing seemed to have encountered some trouble of its own, leaving them with no choice but to keep it simple.
In fact, to the people of others, a king from Yan Yun Star might be equivalent to nothing more than a vige chief. This ce is remote, and very few people visit here intentionally.
If it were the previous Prince Hewlett, he would probably be too excited to speak right now. However, the current him is just a controlled puppet. All his actions and expressions are dictated by Yuri Clones.
"In this ce, I am about to announce a significant matter!" Prince Hewlett''s voice reached the ears of all the people of Yan Yun Star. They all looked serious because whatever a newly crowned king had to say must be of great importance.
Prince Hewlett began to speak, and his words left everyone stunned.
"Starting today, there will be no new kingdom in Yan Yun Star. There will only be the Red Alert Empire. I hereby announce my resignation as king to be a member of the Red Alert Empire!"
The entire Yan Yun Star seemed to explode. Everyone was shocked by this news. What was happening? The king had just taken the throne, and now he was resigning?
Had there ever been such a short-lived king in the history of Yan Yun Star?
It could be said that Hewlett was undoubtedly qualified to be the shortest-reigning king in the history of Yan Yun Star!
From the moment he became king to his self-imposed resignation, how much time had passed? Just a few minutes?
Some people, while taking a restroom break, discovered that the king was no longer in power.
Not only the general popce but even the crowd on-site was in an uproar. They couldn''t have dreamt that something like this would happen.
The existence of the Red Alert Empire was known to many. Initially, they might have thought that after bing king, Hewlett''s first target would be the Red Alert Empire. However, his surprising decision left everyone astounded.
Why would he give up being king and willingly be a member of the Red Alert Empire?
Regardless of whether people were willing or not, Hewlett, under Psychic control, could say anything. All of this had been scripted by Su Chen long ago.
Words spoken by a king could not be changed, especially in such an important setting.
Fortunately, the Restoration Army had always been under Prince Hewlett''s control, and no one could interfere. The Red Alert Empire was also under Su Chen''s control and wouldn''t oppose this. The only entity with the authority to oppose, the Human Alliance, had already fallen apart and disintegrated since Marshal''s imprisonment. They were afraid to be associated with Marshal, so how could they oppose?
With no one opposing, the expansion of Red Alert Empire''s territory became a natural progression.
In just a few days, humanity had be part of the Red Alert Empire. The same old routine applied: giving people the choice to join the Red Alert Empire or not.
Those who had be residents of the Red Alert Empire from the beginning walked the streets joyfully. Meanwhile, those who had previously declined to join the Red Alert Empire were left almost speechless by the stark contrast, and their mood had soured.
However, after bing part of the Red Alert Empire, they began to wonder about one thing: who would be the Emperor of the Red Alert Empire?
"Commander, aren''t you nning to step forward?" Ju Ling asked Su Chen in a puzzled manner.
"As long as the army remains under my control, the Red Alert Empire will continue to exist. The title of Emperor is not important," Su Chen waved his hand dismissively. He had no interest in being an Emperor, and if Earth wasn''t his home, he wouldn''t even bother with it.
"Commander, what about Marshal and Prince Hewlett?" Tanya inquired.
"For Marshal, just find a reason to eliminate him. As for Prince Hewlett, let him regain his self-awareness, and we''ll deal with himter."
Su Chen could already imagine the expression on Prince Hewlett''s face when he regained his self-awareness and saw the foolish things he had done. (To be continued...)
