Chapter 148 Declaration of War
Almost at the same time Lu Chen decided to declare war.
Inside the palace, the holographic display in front of Ernest suddenly changed.
A star map was projected on the screen.
The map shows the location of the Star Alliance and the coordinates of the world they are in.
Then a warning popped up:
[Star Alliance declares war on you]
[Cross-domain war begins: Star Alliance - Slash the Red Eyes]
[Comparison of strength between the two sides:]
Technological level: God-like.
Military Strength: Godlike.
Economic strength: as humble as a worm.
Ernest was horrified.
"Declaration of war?! What is this?! Where are you from?!"
In his world, declarations of war were usually made through diplomatic documents.
The unruly few will resort to surprise attacks or treachery to start a war.
It is unprecedented to have a holographic interface pop up right in front of your eyes to inform you.
What’s even more ridiculous is that the comparison of the strength of both sides is actually listed above.
"Like gods? Does that mean they are extremely powerful?!"
Ernest looked confused.
Since the other party has mastered such a bizarre "477" communication technology, it is only natural that their technological strength is strong;
As for military strength...he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to comment on it.
Looking again, there is also "humble as a worm".
Ernest became more and more confused.
What is the situation of a country that is leading in science and technology and military but has almost no economic strength?
Those barbaric tribes in the north?
The barbarian tribes were indeed economically backward, but their technology and military were also underdeveloped.
at the same time.
Deep inside the palace.
A young emperor with green hair was lying on the bed, holding his scepter and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Because of the unfortunate death of his parents, he had to take over the throne of the empire at a young age.
All affairs were decided by the advice of his ministers. Rather than being an emperor, he was more like a mascot in the hands of Minister Ernest.
Although there were occasionally different voices in the court against Minister Ernest, the young emperor himself had great trust in him and entrusted all matters, big or small, to him.
"When will I be able to become a wise monarch like my father..."
The little emperor thought to himself.
"The situation in the empire is becoming increasingly serious. Oh, I heard there is a revolutionary army and a killer organization that specializes in assassinating high-ranking officials. Fortunately, Ernest is helping me...!"
suddenly.
Swah——
A holographic display also appeared in front of a little emperor.
[Declaration of War: Star Alliance-Empire]
[Countdown to the opening of the two-world channel: 1 hour, 17 minutes and 23 seconds]
The little emperor was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed.
He was not well versed in political affairs, but he knew what the two shocking words "declare war" meant.
For the empire, this is definitely a very important event.
He quickly jumped out of bed and ran to look for his ministers.
“Something is wrong!! Something is wrong!!! Someone has declared war on us!!!”
Not only was he the actual ruler of the empire and a puppet emperor,
The same is true for other forces in the Red Eye World.
The Western Kingdom thousands of miles away.
In the palace, the king, dressed in gorgeous embroidered clothes and wearing a crown, stared at the declaration of war in front of him with amazement.
He had no idea what a holographic interface was, nor could he comprehend why someone would declare war on him without warning.
After a fierce analysis, the ministers unanimously agreed that the neighboring empire had mastered some advanced technology and intended to strike first and conquer them.
The whole country immediately entered a state of general mobilization. Not only the regular army was mobilized, but even the farmers working in the fields were recruited and given a spear and pulled into the army.
The leaders of all major forces in the archipelagos in the south and east, and even on the entire planet, also received the same declaration of war.
Even the leaders of the uncivilized tribes in the north received the news.
The leader in a fur coat looked left and right, and even consulted the most knowledgeable high priest in the tribe, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
With their technical level, they simply couldn't understand what was happening.
Declare war? Has there been no war in this land?
But what about the holographic interface? Why is there such a way to declare war? !
At this moment, in all the countries big and small in the Red Eye World, the situation is changing rapidly and is in chaos.
Near the capital.
Lu Chen looked at the star map with great interest.
I saw my position marked on the star map, as well as the relative position between the Red Eye Worlds.
A thin light blue line connects the two worlds, like a hyperspace channel.
The moment the declaration of war was issued, he also received relevant information and was waiting for the channel to open.
[The channel between the two worlds is under construction...]
At an altitude of about 200 kilometers from the capital,
A "landing point" appeared on the border.
A huge channel with a diameter of several kilometers gradually took shape, reflecting colorful pictures.
The size of the passages to different worlds seems to be controlled by an intelligent system.
When he had crossed alone before, the opened passage was only a few meters wide.
Now the space-time tunnel in front of us is large enough to accommodate three Wannian Fengxue ships driving side by side.
Sister Li asked.
Compared to Lu Chen's one-way teleportation skill, after declaring war, the two worlds can attack each other.
The other party can also organize an army to land on Earth.
Lu Chen smiled.
"Also, after we get there, we can directly control the exit of the passage, so they can't get through."
"I remember the passage between the two worlds should be two-way, right? We should prepare more defensive forces, right?"
"The defense work is in the charge of the Purifiers, Observers, and King of Sai Enforcers. I have arranged for the Universal Angels to conduct round-the-clock patrols in the atmosphere."
Mio thought for a while and came up with an interesting analogy.
"It's like a pipe connecting two worlds. People from each world pass through the pipe to reach the other world. Whoever defeats the other world first wins."
Suppose that the action in the Dark Bullet World more than a year ago could be said to be an all-round invasion of a civilization in the pre-space age by a space civilization. And this time, in the Red Eye World, the gap in strength between the two sides is even greater.
This was a battle of crushing defeat between an interstellar superpower and a feudal lord. Starships upgraded with sea fog technology, even small destroyers, had hulls over 1 kilometer long. They were suspended in the air, enough to completely cover the sky of a small town; aircraft carriers and battleships were even more amazing, and you could hardly see the end of them when standing on the ground.
Humans before the space age could barely identify those as spaceships, but for the feudal natives, this was beyond their cognition. To them, airplanes, bombs and the like were already considered as divine technology. As for true space battleships, they had never heard of them or seen them.
Therefore, the first reaction of the people was confusion. Whether it was the imperial guards or the dignitaries in the palace, their eyes were filled with great confusion, and they all looked up at the starry sky. The metal shell of the starship reflected a cold luster under the moonlight, accompanied by the flashing indicator lights, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Tsk, Commander, this place is really backward." Gudako, Kurozhen and others sat in the bridge of the Ten Thousand Years Wind and Snow, overlooking the scene below.
The world of Red Eyes is in the Ice Age, productivity is not developed, and the upper echelons of the empire are extremely corrupt. Just like the feudal tyrants in history who indulged themselves and led the people to live in poverty, the people here live in hardship. Looking around, there are dilapidated villages and barren farmlands everywhere, while the palaces of the imperial capital are magnificent and the mansions of the nobles are extremely luxurious. The well-dressed nobles ride carriages through the city, completely ignoring the ragged poor begging on the roadside.
"So we need to conquer this world and bring them a new order." Lu Chen snorted coldly. With an order, the starship fleet began to slowly disperse, forming more than a dozen small teams and flying to various places.
Since it is a cross-border war, his target is not limited to the imperial capital, but the entire planet. All countries and civilizations on this planet will succumb to this star fleet, either surrender or be destroyed.
Suddenly, a harsh echo sounded in the air, as if someone was debugging the broadcasting system. The people below and Ernest and others looked up. In this feudal society before mobile phones, televisions and the Internet, they could not interfere with the communication network through technical means and could only use traditional methods to convey information.
Soon, Lu Chen's voice spread throughout the air: "Hello everyone, we are from another world. The leaders of the Imperial Capital and other places may have received my message. We came here for only one purpose - to conquer this world. On behalf of the Star Alliance, I have declared this to all the countries in this land and the warriors in their history."
The ship girls spread Lu Chen's declaration to the whole world through the broadcasting equipment. At this time, it was still night in the imperial capital, and many people were awakened from their sleep, lit candles, opened windows, and stared at the huge fleet in the night sky with shock on their faces.
Ernest, the little emperor, and the leaders of other kingdoms all looked extremely unhappy. Real aliens have really come! The previous communication and declaration of war were not a joke, but a real threat of war.
The imperial generals frowned, wondering whether the ballistae and catapults on the city walls could pose a threat to these spaceships.
"Surrender to me, and you will continue to exist as a vassal state under the alliance. I will bring you a new order and way of life." Lu Chen continued, "From now on, there will no longer be empires, kingdoms, or other countries. The entire world will be under unified governance. I order all nobles and rulers in the empire to surrender and stand trial within half a day. Otherwise, I will destroy you."
Considering the need to rule the world for a long time in the future, Lu Chen clearly expressed his intention. His target is the ruling class of the Red Eye World, not the ordinary people. In fact, under the rule of the alliance, advanced technology can bring a better life to ordinary people.
The Imperial Capital and other countries that received the broadcast fell into silence for a short time, and then a fierce noise broke out. The people went from being shocked at first to being confused, and then to being curious and expectant. They had long been oppressed by the corrupt empire, and every time they resisted, they were ruthlessly suppressed due to the disparity in strength. Now, a fleet from another world claimed to overthrow the empire and establish a new order? The current situation was already terrible, and even though they had never met each other, many people still expected the Star Alliance to succeed and at least bring some changes to their dark lives.
The soldiers' legs were shaking, and the word "declaration of war" echoed in their ears, meaning that war was about to begin.
They looked down at the spears, swords, and crossbows in their hands, and then looked up at the space battleships that covered the sky. This strength comparison seemed a little funny. Even if the natives didn't know how powerful the starships were, they knew intuitively that catapults and crossbows would definitely not be able to attack targets thousands of meters high.
The nobles in the empire were the most restless group of people. "Surrender? Trial? It's a joke!" Ernest slammed the table angrily, and the nobles around him seconded him. They certainly understood that Lu Chen's target this time was exactly them. If it was just surrender, and they could be guaranteed to continue to enjoy wealth and privileges, they might consider doing so, even if it meant kidnapping the little emperor and offering him up.
However, Lu Chen brought about a total conquest. There was no "noble" class in his plan. What qualifications did these natives from another world have to talk to him about bloodline and inheritance? Even if their ancestors were emperors for three generations, they were now worthless.
"We must fight to the death and never surrender." Ernest said in a low voice.
