My cubs are all vinegar

The governor's words weighed heavily on Nijiu's chest like a boulder.He was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke: "Sorry, I don't want to inherit the throne."

Samuel and the governor had obviously expected Nijiu's reaction, and they exchanged glances.

The governor pushed a 3D projector towards Nijiu and said: "Pear Star is the most severely attacked planet. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the media did not broadcast the real situation of Pearl Star. This was reported from the border three hours ago. A piece of surveillance, you can take a look."

Nijito sat up straight, he immediately turned on the projector and clicked on the video.

"Volunteers surrounded the palace, and Lawson wanted to kill us and shut down the 'Wall of Empire'." During the loading of the video, Samuel told Nijiu with a frown, "It takes 72 hours to prepare for restarting the 'Wall of Empire'. With Rollson's move, the galaxy is completely exposed to the Zerg's attack range."

While Samuel was speaking, the video had already been loaded.A three-dimensional projection popped up in the center of the living room, and the symbolic building of the capital of Pearl Star was clearly in sight.

In the projection, the capital of Pearl Star is quiet and peaceful, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians, just like Nijiu's memory.

However, seven seconds after the video was played, a dazzling red light descended from the sky and swept towards the buildings several hundred meters away.A bright light flashed by, and tall buildings were razed to the ground in an instant.The wreckage of the building fell from the sky, and the steel more than ten meters long crushed pedestrians and flattened people, and dust was flying in the air.

Nijiu clenched her hands unconsciously, her knuckles turning white.

After the laser attack, thousands of Zerg carrying parachutes slowly fell to the ground.They are heavily armed, and even their tentacles are heavily armored.

"After Rawson opened the 'Wall of Empire', the Zerg immediately launched an attack on Pearl Planet. We suspect that the Zerg and Rawson communicated in private." Samuel paused, "The Zerg still dare not directly Entering the center of the empire is probably testing our strength."

Nijiu looked at the picture on the projection and said softly: "They will never let it go."

"Yes, the Zerg will invade the Emperor Star sooner or later." Samuel replied decisively, and he said: "The parliament and the army need a legal ruler to lead them to overthrow Rawson and repel the Zerg. Nijiu, you are the only candidate."

The governor shook his head and said in a low voice: "He's just a kid in his teens, we should give this young man some time to think."

At this time, a tall Zerg appeared in the projection screen.It waved its tentacles, constantly sending pheromones to its partners, and smashed the ground with laser cannons, exposing the gas pipeline buried tens of meters deep underground.

The gas pipe was poked with a small hole by the gravel. Seeing this, the Zerg took out a half-old metal box from their arms, and opened the box lid with a "snap".

That is a lighter.

An ominous premonition hit Nijito's throat, making his voice hoarse: "What does it want to do?"

The Zerg lit the lighter and threw it toward the gas pipe.At the moment of contact with the fire source, a large amount of flammable gas in the pipeline is instantly ignited.The flames emerged from the ground, and the raging flames set off a wave of air, making the surrounding ground tremble.

Not long after, a second continuous explosion erupted not far away.The fire spread along the gas pipeline all the way to the distance, forming a winding road in the air.

The 3D projector dutifully restored the scene at that time, and Ryan was stunned by the flash: "The gas pipeline network in the capital of Star Pearl exploded!"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, a cloud of thick black smoke slowly floated up in the screen, floating up into the air one by one.Even though Nezuto was not there, he could still imagine the stench of burning tar.

The black smoke gradually rose, and in the sky, hundreds of huge Zerg warships were cruising around, ready to go.

The place where the explosion was most serious was a densely populated residential area.20.00% of the city's population lives in residential areas, and the building density is extremely high. Not to mention military attacks, even an accident is enough to kill thousands of people.

The Zerg attack caused the capital of Star Pearl to lose nearly one-fifth of its residents.

The video ended, the 3D projector automatically turned off, and the light dimmed.But Nijiu was still in the shock caused by the serial explosions, and couldn't recover for a long time.

The capital of Pearl Star has been destroyed by the Zerg attack.If the "Wall of Empire" is not closed in time and the Zerg is allowed to wreak havoc in the galaxy, more and more cities will be destroyed and more people will die.

For every second they waste, someone's life is lost in war.

Nijiu made up his mind and stood up: "I will attend today's meeting. But before that, I have to go to a place."

In front of them, Nijiu did not explain where he was going.

"Okay, but the guards have been patrolling outside, you can't go out alone." Samuel said, his eyes swept across the bodyguards, "Let's find a few people to accompany you out—"

Bandit Yu interrupted Samuel: "I'm with him."

Samuel raised his head and stared at the handsome and gloomy man in front of him.Through the powerful but cold spiritual power of Bandit Yu, Samuel has already vaguely guessed his identity, knowing that the other party must be a high-ranking member of the Demon Race.

With the presence of high-level demons, there must be no accidents.Samuel pondered for a while, and agreed: "Okay. We will wait for you in the House at eight o'clock tonight."

The destination of Nijiu's trip is the Dihua dormitory.

A few days ago, Nijiu hurriedly left the school in order to take refuge. Before leaving, he hid the star core in the dormitory.Rollsen and the Zerg secretly colluded, and in order to find the star core, they may have sent someone to search his room.

Nijiu was not sure whether the star core was safe, so he and Banditu took advantage of the night to pass through the quantum protective layer, sneaked into the Dihua campus, and immediately went to the dormitory without stopping.

Just as Nijiu expected, the Emperor Star guards had already searched his room yesterday.

When Nijiu turned the window and entered the room, he saw a mess.All the furniture in the room has been turned over, desks, drawers, beds, and there are even large holes pierced by laser guns on the floor and ceiling.

Nijiu stepped over the debris on the ground and walked quickly towards the bed.

He strapped the suitcase to the back of the bed, tying it so tightly that unless the bed was turned over, it would be impossible to discover what was still under the bed.

Nijiu knelt on the ground on one knee, bent down, touched the suitcase hidden under the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief: "They didn't find the star core!"

With Banditama's help, Nejito turned the bed over and untied the straps that tied the suitcase.He brushed off the dust and opened the suitcase.

The star core was lying quietly in the middle of the suitcase, and it emitted a bright light, illuminating the entire room brightly.

Seeing that the star core was safe and sound, Nijiu breathed a sigh of relief.He closed the suitcase, moved the bed back, and restored the room to its original state.

Bandit Yu asked: "You want to take it away?"

Nijiu nodded, he had his own plan.There is a huge amount of energy in the star core. If it is used to power the "Wall of Empire", it can reduce the preparation time for opening the shield and protect more residents of the empire.

Bandit Yu obviously guessed Mijiu's small plan, he stared at Nijiu's face, hesitating to speak.

The star core does contain a lot of spiritual power, but it needs to be injected with spiritual power to stimulate the original energy.Normal humans cannot control the power of the star core. If they forcibly stimulate their spiritual power, they may die from exhaustion.

Bandit Yu choked for a long time, and said out of nowhere: "Don't use it."

Nijiu was taken aback: "Why?"

Before Bandit Yu could explain, the shrill siren sounded in the dormitory, drowning out his voice.

Nijiu was startled by the sound of the siren, he looked up and looked around, and lifted the box briskly: "It seems that the security guards have discovered the quantum protection layer that was destroyed by us - let's go!"

Outside, the security guards were patrolling around the damaged protective layer, and the red and blue lights kept flashing.

Nejito ran towards the stairs with his waist down, he was carrying a suitcase, looking a bit struggling.Bandit Yu stretched out a hand towards him, wanting to take the box: "I'll help you carry it."

Nijiu stubbornly refused: "No, it's not heavy, I'm afraid it's quite easy." Before he could finish speaking, a corner of the suitcase knocked against the steps.Nijiu staggered and almost tripped over it.

Nijiu: "..."

Bandityu snatched the suitcase from Nijiu without any explanation.

Nijiu and Banditu escaped from Dihua. When they arrived at the Imperial Household, they raised their eyes and saw Samuel and the governor standing by the stairs. Qingyan, Harnifin and Ares stood behind them.

Samuel was a little helpless about this. He spread his hands and said, "They insist on following, and I can't stop them."

With the acquiescence of the governor and Samuel, the four bandits were also able to enter the Imperial Council to participate in this meeting.

The Imperial House is located in the city center. When Nijiu first came to Emperor Star, he saw this magnificent building many times.The House, too, was under siege, its handsome white marble columns now smeared with smoke, and the steps were littered with masonry smashed by shells.

The governor led Nijiu into the parliament and explained: "The parliament, like the palace, was besieged by radical people."

Nijito followed behind the governor, he stepped on dozens of stairs, walked through the hall and corridor, and walked towards the parliament hall.

Hundreds of members were standing guard in the council hall. When they saw the governor and Samuel walk into the council hall, they all turned their heads.Seeing Bandityu and the others following behind Nijiu, the councilors were a little confused.

Bandit Yu and the others put on dark cloaks. They pulled up their hoods and covered their faces with the brims of the hats.Bandit Yu's face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, only a pair of dark golden eyes could be seen.

Many people felt the oppression of the spiritual energy and began to doubt Bandit Yu's identity.

The councilors looked at each other suspiciously, and some of them leaned out their upper bodies, trying to get a better look and recognize Bandit Yu's appearance.

Seeing the reaction of the congressmen, the governor pulled Nijiu to the other end of the corridor, and asked in a low voice, "Nijiu, who is that man with golden eyes?"

Nijiu can only tell the truth: "He is a demon."

The governor suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. He pondered for a long time and said, "After all, he is not a human being. Letting him participate in the struggle between the empire and the Zerg may cause conflicts."

Nijiu understands the governor's concerns.

Although bandit jade is temporarily on the same front as humans, the demons are notorious, and the citizens of the empire may not accept the demons' participation in the war.What's more, the reputation of the Demon Race in the interstellar world is comparable to that of the Zerg Race. They are very likely to defect after the war and threaten the safety of the empire.

If the public knows the true identity of Bandit Yu, I am afraid that the official careers of Nijiu and Samuel will also be affected.

Nijiu raised her head subconsciously and looked at Banditu.

He was standing at the other end of the corridor, a few hundred meters away from Nezuto.Bandit Yu was still carrying the box, he was looking at Nijiu, obviously very curious about the conversation between the two, but he didn't bother him.

The moment they looked at each other, Nijiu felt a burst of peace of mind.He trusted Bandit Yu and concluded that he would never rebel after the war.

Nijiu turned around and said to the governor, "Please rest assured, he will not do such a thing."

Nijiu's tone was firm, and the governor couldn't refute anymore, so he just sighed: "Okay. He can attend the meeting, but he can't let the congressmen know his identity."

Nijiu walked quickly towards Bandit Yu and the others, and waved at them: "You can go in."

Nijiu found that Bandit Yu was looking at him, he raised his head, and met Bandit Yu's eyes.Seeing Bandit Yu looking at him all the time, Nijiu smiled at him suspiciously.

Bandit Yu suddenly turned his head away, walked quickly into the council hall without saying a word, and almost bumped into the governor.

The hearing of the demons is far superior to that of humans. Although they are hundreds of meters away, they can even hear the sound of Nijiu's clothes rubbing against each other clearly.

Therefore, Nijiu's words fell into Bandit Yu's ears verbatim.

When was the last time someone trusted you unconditionally?

Bandit Yu no longer remembers.Or rather, he never experienced it.Faced with Nijiu's trust, Bandit Yu didn't know what to do.

A group of people walked into the parliament hall, and the governor stepped onto the podium. He put on his glasses and looked around with a very serious expression.

"Yesterday, we held a vote on Nijiu's succession." The governor said and turned on the projector on the table, and a form appeared in front of everyone, "Yes, 45 votes; against, 45 votes; abstention, 22 ticket."

The governor paused, and then said: "Among the abstentions, seven people said that Nijiu is still young and should elect a regent in the parliament to assist him in handling government affairs."

There was a murmur among the MPs.This proposal obviously won the approval of many people. They all nodded in approval, and several people even smiled unconsciously.

Nijiu didn't understand it until now, but after hearing this, she finally understood.Some congressmen want to take advantage of this turmoil for profit, and even lift themselves up to let other parties take power.

The sudden sense of crisis makes you feel like a thorn in your back.

All the councilors' eyes were on him, and Nijiu stood in the center of the circular conference hall, accepting their undisguised scrutiny, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.Nijiu's limbs felt a little cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, soaking the roots of his hair.

At this time, Banditu, who was standing in the corner, pushed away the MP who was standing in front of him, and walked towards Nijiu.

He walked steadily, stepping on the marble floor step by step, making clear footsteps.Everyone sensed the sense of coercion on his body, the councilors were silent, and only the footsteps of bandit jade echoed in the conference hall.

Bandit Yu didn't speak, but stood quietly beside Mijiu, complementing the statue behind him.

The councilors stopped whispering, and there was silence in the council hall.

"The theme of this meeting is 'Defend the Emperor's Star'." Seeing the council hall quiet down, the governor patted the table and said, "How should we defend the Emperor's Star in the face of the Zerg threat? You can say whatever you want."

The congressmen looked at each other, and they all hesitated in the face of Bandit Yu with a gloomy expression.

"Emperor Star has rich resources and a strategic location. I think we must stick to it." A member of the council raised his hand and said, "Moreover, we have to block the news to avoid unnecessary panic."

This congressman has a joint venture company in Emperor Star. If he withdraws from Emperor Star, his painstakingly managed factory will be wiped out.

Nijiu didn't know his little thoughts, and directly objected: "No, Emperor Star is the primary target of the Zerg, and the people must be evacuated."

The governor pondered, and said: "Nijiu is right. After the 'Wall of Empire' is closed, the Zerg can travel around the galaxy and start wars, and the most likely to be attacked by the Zerg is the densely populated Emperor Star. .”

Another congressman wearing the Medal of Honor asked: "Are we going to give up the Emperor Star?"

"No." Nijiu replied, "The army continues to guard the Emperor Star, and the civilians will evacuate first, and go to the planet with few people."

The faces of the congressmen suddenly became ugly, but under the coercion of Bandit Yu, they dared not speak out.

They tried their best to restrain their expressions, but they still showed displeasure.

Most of the members of parliament are more or less connected with the army, and many of them are even elected to the parliament by the army, and they have close personal relationships with senior military officials.If the Emperor Star Army loses its strength, they will also be implicated.

Nijiu didn't know the stakes, but Samuel saw everything in his eyes, and touched Nijiu's shoulder with his hand, signaling him not to speak.

Samuel tapped on the table to get the MPs to focus.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, I have something to say."

Samuel had the right to speak in the House. After he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Samuel said: "To the people, Rowlson was the leader of the empire, the ruler of the galaxy. However, the Senate and the army cooperated to corner him and was forced to abdicate."

"So, I hope you realize that if the House does overthrow Rawson, we are the usurpers. Do you think the people will agree to elect a regent among the usurpers?"

After finishing speaking, Samuel propped his hands on the table and scanned everyone in the council hall sharply.

"However, Nijiu is different." The governor took Samuel's words, "Youjiu is the son of Rollsen and the former queen, and the legitimate heir. Many people still remember the one who was sent to Pearl Star ten years ago. His little prince, the supporters of the Witch Clan also recognized his right of succession."

The MPs knew he had a point, but they didn't want to give up this easy-to-eat fat, so they didn't say a word.

In this long silence, Qingyan raised his hand and said in a low voice, "Please wait a moment."

The eyes of the councilors focused on him.

Qingyan was standing under the shadow of the stone pillar at this time, he stepped out of the shadow, and pulled off the hood on his head: "I am the master of the demon clan, Qingyan."

Nijiu was taken aback by his sudden self-introduction, and subconsciously tried to reach out to stop him, but was held down by Samuel: "Shh, don't talk."

Samuel had already guessed Qingyan's purpose, his eyes were burning, observing the reaction of the congressmen.

Without the cover of the hood, Qingyan's face was completely exposed to the light, and the blue pattern on his forehead was also fully exposed.Seeing the marks of the monster race on his face, there were several whispers among the councilors-these marks obviously brought back bad memories for some people.

Qingyan walked to Mijiu's side and held his hand wearing the soul-drawing jade: "I was influenced by the soul-drawing jade and became Nijiu's guardian."

Everyone present had heard the legend of the "Hunting Soul Jade", but they always thought that the "Hunting Soul Jade" was just a sacred object in the legend, but they did not expect it to actually exist.

The light fell on Qingyan's face, reflecting his eyes as clear as emeralds.

"It's my duty to protect him," he said.

The councilors heard the implication of Qingyan's words.

It is his responsibility to protect Nijiu. After Nijiu succeeds to the throne, he will also guard the empire.Members of Congress have mixed feelings in their hearts, both happy and sad.If the monster race joins the battle, the chances of winning for humans will increase a lot, but relatively, their plan has also failed.

Ares also took off his hood: "I will support you too."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "It is the bounden duty of the Protoss to maintain the peace of all races. I cannot allow the Zerg to wreak havoc in the universe."

Many congressmen have seen Ares' face before and recognized him at a glance.A burst of discussion sounded in the meeting room, mixed with a few exclamations.

"The human empire has abundant resources. If human beings are captured by the Zerg, other creatures will be shrouded in the shadow of the Zerg, and even the elves will be affected." Harnifin next to Ares couldn't sit still, "I join you too."

Hearing Harnifin's words, the councilors all cast their eyes on Bandit Yu.After experiencing the Lord of the Monster Race, the God of War, and the Elf King, all the members present felt that nothing could shock them anymore.

But Bandit Yu remained silent.

After the regular meeting, Neijiu waited in the lounge for the press conference to start.

Samuel was sending an email to the governor. He was wearing glasses and frowning. Nijiu didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only sit in a corner by himself in a daze.

Nijiu stood on the stage for two hours, her legs and shoulders felt a little numb.After Nijiu sat down, he began to rub his neck, feeling that his muscles were stiff.

At this time, Bandit Yu pushed open the door and walked into the lounge.Nijiu asked him, "Why did you come out?"

Bandit Yu didn't answer, but instead asked, "What were you doing just now?"

"Neck hurts, I stood for too long just now." Nijiu said, rubbing his shoulders again, "It's not serious, just take a rest."

Bandit Yu put the suitcase at Nijiu's feet, and sat down beside him: "Get out of the way, I'll help you."

Before Nijiu could react, Banditu moved his arm away.He put his hands on Nijiu's shoulders, gently rubbing his shoulders for him.

The temperature of his fingers was very low, and the back of his hand touched Nijiu's neck from time to time, bringing a chill.

Although Bandityu's body temperature was low, it inexplicably made the temperature of Nijiu's cheeks rise.

Just when Nijiu was flustered, Banditu suddenly lowered his head and whispered something in his ear: "I will help you."

Banditama's breath brushed against Nijiu's skin, as if a bomb had exploded in his ear, he was shocked and almost jumped up from the sofa.

Nijiu didn't hear what Bandit Yu said at all, he clutched his neck, and quickly slid away from Bandit Yu: "What?"

Bandit Yu repeated again: "I will also participate in this war."

Bandit Yu's whisper made Nijiu's cheeks hot, in order to hide his embarrassment, he turned his face and stared out the window, nodding indiscriminately.

Nijiu said, "Thank you, it was a great help."

"You're welcome, I'm also for the future of the Demon Race." As if afraid that Nijiu would not believe it, Banditu added a few more words, "The development of the Zerg Race will hinder the expansion of the Demon Race."

Nijiu didn't pay attention to Banditu's expression at the moment. Seeing that he was in a hurry to explain, he felt that he was too self-indulgent, and he was a little embarrassed: "That's it... Anyway, thank you."

At this time, Samuel had just sent an email, took off the optical brain worn on the ear, and turned off the virtual screen.Hearing the conversation between the two, he turned his head inadvertently, and happened to glance at them.

Samuel saw the blush on Nijiu's face and Banditu's erratic eyes.

Samuel understood, but he didn't say anything. He stood up and walked out of the lounge without a sound. One minute later, he knocked on the door outside: "Nijiu, the press conference is about to begin."

When Nijiu heard Samuel call her name, as if her privacy had been exposed, she was shocked and suddenly came back to her senses.

"Okay! I'll go there now." Nijiu responded, stood up and ran towards the door.He turned his head and hurriedly bid farewell to Bandit Yu: "See you next time, take care."

Bandit Yu nodded and replied, "You too."

When passing by the door, Nijiu looked back at Banditu.

Bandit Yu sat on the sofa by the window, her long hair was tough and smooth, shining like brocade under the light.Those turquoise eyes are like a pair of amber stones, impressive.

Nejito closed the door and ran towards Samuel.

Samuel and Nijito entered the corridor and said while sending emails: "I will hold a regular press conference and let you appear in front of the political media to announce the news of your succession. What you have to do is to maximize Keep yourself safe."

Nijiu nodded: "Okay, I will."

They passed by the huge French windows, and Samuel suddenly stopped and glanced at his watch.He pointed to the distance and said, "Look, that's the palace."

Nijiu also stopped, looked along Samuel's finger, and sure enough saw the golden spire of the palace.

A few seconds later, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in Nijiu's vision.Immediately afterwards, he heard another loud noise, and the violent explosion shook the ground.

The light is bursting out from the palace.

Nijiu clicked his tongue and said, "Is it an explosion made by the volunteers?"

"Yes. The volunteer army blew up the Quantum Wall as planned and is invading the palace." Samuel said softly, "Nijiu, the next step is up to you."
