Chapter 1370 - 531: Seizing the Elder Court
Although Lyu would love to stay in the corner where the flow of time matches the City of Light, to enjoy the beautiful college life of her boss and Emperor Edwan;
But now she has to pull herself away and mobilize all computational power.
The situation on the Emperor Star is developing in the worst possible direction.
That is, there's a struggle between the Conservative and Reformist factions, and according to Lyu's observations, the strength accumulated by the Reformists surpasses that of the decaying Conservatives.
Perhaps the Sherman family's Reformists, led by Director Eno, have long been prepared for this day.
Or perhaps the Conservatives, who are already on the verge of collapse, simply can't win any war.
Lyu switched to work mode, summoning over thirty clones to handle the various information being transmitted from all over the Empire.
The Imperial Defense System is maintaining low-efficiency operations, continuously purifying the Empire's network environment;
And now, it's presenting a non-active observational stance towards the conflict between the Sherman family's Reformists and Conservatives, as if it too is waiting for something.
Waiting for the Reformists to replace the Conservatives and become the new power core of the Empire, completing the self-reformation of the Empire's system?
Or perhaps it's that it doesn't want to meddle in these 'non-Levi descendants' internal conflicts?
Lyu kept integrating this information.
What amused her was that the nominal ruler of the Sherman Empire—the Great Fool Emperor, Mellen Sherman, was currently lying in the soft embrace of several maids, indifferent to external conflicts.
His intention seemed to be, no matter who holds power, he will remain the Emperor.
'Should I report this coup to the boss?'
Lyu glanced at the corner.
Molly, on duty there, was now convulsing as if ill.
That's the continuous visual dislocation brought by the disparity in time flow speeds.
Let's wait a bit for the outcome.
Hopefully, this coup won't fundamentally tear the Empire apart, because that would prematurely awaken Levi.
If it's just a normal regime change, under normal logic, Levi wouldn't awaken for this minor matter.
Lyu's fingers lightly touched, and a new projection wall appeared in front of her, displaying the situation in over thirty regions, among which the most important were:
Sherman Imperial Palace;
Elder Court Headquarters;
Imperial Military Department Headquarters;
Emperor Star Perimeter Defense Forces Station Zone;
Imperial Development Divine Sect Headquarters.
And Lyu's gaze locked onto the core personnel of this coup, the head of the Sherman Empire Dimension Ascension Laboratory, Eno Sherman.
...
Emperor Star, Imperial Palace Module, Antenna Organization Command Center.
Daphne remains expressionless, her gaze extremely sharp.
She wears a red gown, draped in a knitted coat, and ties a pink bow around her slender, alabaster neck, with a faint makeup on her face celebrity admired day and night in the Empire.
Who would have thought that the illustrious Imperial Songstress, whose succession rights are very distant among the current generation of princes and princesses, has now reached the center of power.
And there is a fairly high probability she'll take another step upward.
Daphne actually doesn't want to place all her bets on Director Eno.
During the second roundtable meeting convened by Director Eno previously, Daphne thought to use her father's Emperor status to gain more political capital in the middle ground between the Conservatives and Reformists.
But her verbally great father chose to back down during such a critical moment.
Extremely cowardly retreat.
Does he still want to revive imperial authority?
Then, Daphne had no choice but to choose between the two factions.
—Standing in the middle ground under these circumstances would be the first to be crushed.
She actually had little choice but to follow Director Eno, because part of the Antenna Organization was under Director Eno's control; the dozen or so actual controllers of the Antenna Organization chose to be loyal to Daphne because of Director Eno.
On the front screen, suspended vehicles drive out from various locations in the Emperor Star's surface and underground city clusters, heading towards the Elder Court.
Antenna Organization's combat personnel total 150,000, controlling the Elder Court Headquarters is naturally not a problem.
With the center's supercomputer assisting, deploying these personnel isn't an issue.
"Your Highness! We've locked onto ninety-two percent of the elders' tracks."
Daphne thought for two seconds, glanced at the time: "Have the corresponding teams move forward immediately, directly control the top twenty elders, no need to wait for orders from above. Bring these elders to the Legislative Court first."
"Yes!"
Daphne asked: "The Great Elder there must not have any issues."
"I'll personally keep an eye on it," the 'history teacher' middle-aged maid responded, bowed, and quickly left.
Daphne crossed her arms, her slender figure standing in the command center, as if a drawn sword.
...
Emperor Star Perimeter, the thirty-six medium and large fleets of the Emperor Star Defense Fleet, have been surrounded by larger fleets directly subordinate to the Imperial Military Department responsible for the Emperor Star Circle's defense.
At the moment, just in the perimeter of Emperor Star planet, over sixteen thousand warships are stationed, and confrontation has begun in some areas.
The Emperor Star Defense System has been fully activated, the surface modules have started to deploy regional protective shields.
The order in most parts of Emperor Star hasn't been affected, because no media dares to report this kind of matter, people working on Emperor Star are completely unaware of this confrontation.
