First Meeting with Emperor Viser
Chapter 1606 First Meeting with Emperor Viser
Elise's ELS army, in human form, moved throughout the capital of the Versace Empire, completely controlling all major transportation routes and creating a relatively safe environment for the arriving fleet of reinforcements.
Resistance from the Viser Empire exists.
Even though the current emperor of the Versace Empire, Religaria, has already announced his surrender, there are still die-hard fanatics who are trying to resist and break free from the control of the "extraterrestrial forces".
Elise will not show any mercy in this regard.
Those ELS individuals who controlled the main traffic arteries and were fearless of firearms and melee weapons moved slowly, and with the most brutal contact, they made all the fanatics who had instigated the riot look extremely horrified as they were taken away by the silver-gray metal spikes that pierced their bodies from the inside out, turning them into cold corpses lying on the street.
Such a brutal scene completely sobered up the incited crowd. They watched in panic as the ELS individuals, their expressions cold, returned to the cordon after dealing with the fanatics, and slowly retreated.
The ELS individual did not pay attention to this scene.
As long as these citizens of the Versailles Empire do not attack them, the ELS individuals will simply obey orders and remain at their posts.
of course.
This is not a long-term solution.
He Ming piloted the Cheng Ying Rift Sky, which slowly landed in front of the building where the Viser royal family resided.
Tejamansudu had been waiting for a long time.
"General, Emperor Viser and the princess are under our control. They can be questioned at any time."
Tejamansudu paused for a moment, then continued.
"However, His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to discuss much about the Viser Empire."
"Oh? Then, what about information on the Ghost Faces?"
He Ming's Baxia armor fluctuated, switching from the flight mode, which facilitated piloting the machine, to the maneuver mode, which facilitated movement.
This is a new generation of Baxia armor modified by Kongo and the intelligent AI cube Adino after the Tekaman team joined and based on the data collected from them.
"Yes! The general was right. Emperor Religaria of Versailles does seem to have been in contact with members of the Ghost Faces. According to the intelligence we have gathered, His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health. He suffered an even heavier blow after the Second Emperor of Versailles was caught in the hyperspace portal during the invasion of Earth and died in an accident."
Tejamansudu paused for a moment.
He Ming gestured for Tejamansudu to continue.
"Logically speaking, at such an advanced age, after suffering from consecutive illnesses and the loss of blood relatives, Religalia's body should have collapsed and never recovered."
He Ming nodded, acknowledging Su Du's speculation.
In the original timeline, near the end of the first season, Rayleigh, the first emperor who established the Versace Empire using the ALDNOAH device, was unable to continue and died of illness, thus foreshadowing the plot of the second season involving a substitution of a real and a fake empress.
Seeing that He Ming did not refute his speculation, Tejamansudu continued.
"After Takano and Hoshino took control of Religaria and Asheram, Kengo specifically conducted the first round of interrogation on Religaria. And this is the interrogation video from that time."
Tekaman Sudo forwarded the video of Kengo Aiba, the commander of the Tekaman Assault Squad, interrogating Rayleigh Garia, to He Ming.
He Ming opened the video, watched it for a while, and then he had a better understanding of the situation.
Indeed, the key to Religaria's recovery was related to the Ghost Faces.
However, judging from Religaria's confession, the member of the Grimfaces who contacted him did not seem to be a member of a very high status, but rather an ordinary member who had accepted a mission and made contact with him.
This is quite different from the other members of the Ghost Face Gang that He Ming had encountered before.
Judging from the resources mobilized by both sides, compared to the Ghostface members who had previously fought against He Ming, the Ghostface members who contacted Rayleigh were more like minor figures. Otherwise, why would they have offered only a simple promise to restore Rayleigh's health in exchange for the Versace Empire's intervention in the chaotic situation on Super Earth, pushing the already uncertain situation completely out of control?
He Ming pondered for a while, and suddenly realized something.
To be honest, although the Tekaman Assault Squad, a powerful elite force, has torn apart the false myth of the invincible Versace Empire, if the Ghost Faces truly valued their relationship with the Versace Empire, they would probably have arranged for people to guard around Rayleighia in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
He Ming had experienced this firsthand in their previous encounters.
Whenever they were about to succeed, the Ghost Faces gang would always use various means to tear open the encirclement and run away without hesitation.
"Sudu, lead the way!"
"Yes, General!"
Regardless, I still need to meet with Religaria, the emperor of the Versace Empire.
It was quite a pleasant surprise that the other person recovered.
If Religaria were lying sickly in bed, possibly dying at any moment, He Ming might have some reservations.
Led by Tejaman Sudu, He Ming soon arrived at the room guarded by Tejaman Ax.
"General! Emperor Viser and the princess are inside. They are currently in relatively stable condition."
"Tigamanax," Goddard said, saluting the man.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Sudu, you can go ahead and get busy! Axe will be fine here."
He Ming nodded and led Tejamansudu away first.
"understand!"
Subsequently, accompanied by Ax, He Ming met Religaria and sitting beside her, Asheilam—the princess of the Versailles Empire—whose eyes held a hint of lingering fear, yet whose expression remained calm.
"A pleasure to meet you! Your Majesty Rayleigh, the first emperor of the Viser Empire. I am He Ming, the admiral of the Mist Fleet and the Feather Fleet."
As the mask of the Baxia armor slid, Rayleigh Garia was able to clearly see He Ming's face.
"Such a young face."
In that instant, Religaria overturned his own assumptions about the leader of the Tekaman assault team.
"A pleasure to meet you! What is your name, Admiral?"
Religaria nodded.
"I never expected the admiral to have such powerful subordinates at such a young age. It's truly admirable. It seems the Earth Alliance misjudged him."
Upon hearing this, He Ming laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty flatters me. However, I need to correct one point. Your understanding of the Earth's unity is utterly insignificant to me."
He Ming raised his hand and patted Tejaman Ax, who was guarding him.
“I only need to get them to move together, and I can end that Earth Alliance army in an instant.”
I've been feeling sleepy these past couple of days, so please allow me two more days to rest. Once I've readjusted, I'll resume updating three times a week, and also make up for any missed updates!
