In the void outside the starport group, the wreckage of the empire's battleships was everywhere.
Although most of the fleets did not listen to James' order to attack, there were still some loyal nobles who rushed out.
The result was obvious just by looking at the wreckage in the void.
In addition to Lance's last warning broadcast, no one dared to sail out of the starport. This filled James with despair.
It was not that he did not want to gamble, it was just that …
Looking in front of him, his subordinates, who he used to regard as lowly, were now pointing their guns at him.
James knew that he was done for!
He just hoped that the people of the Rose Fleet would not implicate his descendants hundreds of generations later because of what happened to his ancestors!
-----
The Rose (the flagship of the new Rose Fleet) was a Titan-class battleship. In the bridge, the adjutant, Villette, was reporting the latest situation to Lance.
"Leader, Commander Eyre reports that we have full control of Planet Rabi. All the nobles, including the governor of the Kepler Sector, Osar, have been captured!"
"At the same time, half of the starport fleet stationed here, except for a few stubborn battleships that were destroyed by us, the rest have surrendered. The fleet commander, James, was also captured by his own subordinates!"
James?
This guy is here?
Didn't the intelligence say that this guy led the fleet to eliminate the pirates?
Lance was stunned.
This guy was one of the top few on Lance's must-kill list. Because the previous intelligence said that he led the fleet to eliminate the pirates, Lance felt that it was a pity that he escaped.
Unexpectedly, the intelligence was wrong. This guy was still here?
What a surprise!
"This … actually, Osar reports several times a year going out to eliminate the pirates … The real reason is to include the abnormal consumption of the fleet every year …"
"For example, the live-fire exercises held by the nobles …"
Villette explained when he saw Lance's shocked expression.
That made sense. With so many battleships and personnel suffering abnormal consumption every year, Osar had to have a suitable excuse.
Just training consumption was definitely not enough. The nobles loved the so-called "live-fire exercises" so much that they would almost come once every few days …
If this kind of consumption was reported as training consumption, no matter how stupid the higher-ups were, they would not be able to pass.
Therefore, there must be other names …
As a result, Osar had become the most diligent governor in the Cassano Star System when it came to conquering pirates. He would go on expeditions at least five times a year, and every time, he would have a "bloody battle" with the pirates. The result was naturally …
Although they had defeated the pirates once again, they had suffered quite a number of casualties!
Well, regardless of the truth, at least that was what was written in the annual report submitted by Osar every year.
After hearing Wayde's words, Lance reacted immediately. In an instant, monstrous rage emanated from his body.
None of these damned nobles would have a good ending.
"Three days later, there will be a public trial on Rabi Star. Get ready, I want everyone on Rabi Star to see it!"
"Yes, Leader!"
-----
Three days passed quickly.
Because the attack was so sudden, the news of the fall of Rabi Star did not have time to spread.
But after all, Rabi Star was the capital of Kepler. There were many people coming and going, so the news could not be hidden for too long.
However, for Lance, it would not take too long. He only needed a little time to stabilize Rabi Star and recruit some civilian soldiers from the surrendered fleet.
At that time, even if an entire fleet came, he would not be afraid at all!
During these three days, Lance naturally did not idle. Instead, he was busy correcting history, exposing the history that had been hidden by the nobles for 30,000 years in front of everyone.
The power was enormous!
Only then did the civilians on Rabi Star know that the empire had such a history. No wonder the information from 30,000 years ago was so unnatural in the history books.
After doing all this, it was time for the public trial.
Today, Lance was ready to add fuel to the fire and completely push all the people on Rabi Star to the opposite side of the nobles!
And this fire … was the truth of the "live-fire exercise" that had been going on for tens of thousands of years in the Kepler Star System fleet!
For the civilians living on Rabi Star, they did not know about the so-called "live-fire exercise".
Not to mention them, even most of the soldiers in the fleet did not know about it.
After all, the nobles would not play these games in front of them.
Therefore, the majority of the people had always thought that these soldiers had died in the war to eliminate the pirates, and not because …
Soon, the public trial began!
When the nobles were brought up one by one, the crimes were read out one after another. After countless evidence was exposed without any concealment, the entire Rabi Star was furious.
Many of the soldiers who died because of the so-called "live-fire exercise" were from Rabi Star. Now, the civilians who were watching the public trial were their relatives!
They could accept dying in the war of the pirates, but …
What they did not expect was that the truth was that they died in the entertainment of the nobles to pass time. How … how could they accept this?
"Kill them! Kill them!! "
On the entire planet, tens of billions of people were angry. They watched the live broadcast with bloodshot eyes and shouted loudly.
Of course, Lance did not show any mercy. The guilty nobles were all executed on the spot.
Although the nobles only accounted for a small proportion of the population, the number of nobles on Rabi Star was still more than ten million.
For a time, the entire Rabi Star was covered in heads …
The public trial lasted for a whole month. When the month passed quietly, the Langdon Empire finally realized that something was wrong.
For an entire month, all the caravans that went to Rabi Star were silent. Moreover, there was not a single ship from Rabi Star that arrived, whether it was from the civilian or the business world …
This phenomenon finally made the upper echelons of the empire take it seriously. They immediately sent people to investigate the situation on Rabi Star.
However, the result was still the same. All the people who went to investigate never returned, and they did not send back any information.
It was not until this time that the empire was sure that something had happened to Rabi Star. However, they did not know who did it.
A large cloud of fog instantly shrouded the heads of the upper echelons of the empire. It was not until the second month that the upper echelons could no longer bear it and finally made a decision.
They conscripted three starfield fleets in the Cassano Star System, a total of 30 billion warships to Rabi Star!
In the eyes of the upper echelons of the empire, a fleet of such scale could already crush any force in the Weiss Star System!
Unfortunately, they had forgotten one thing!
Half of the starfield fleet was stationed on Rabi Star, a total of five billion warships.
Could it really be the Pirate Alliance or one of the subsidiary civilizations that could make these five billion battleships lose contact with them without even sending out a message?
Obviously …
This was impossible!
