When the two "highest authorities of the true human empire" are about to inevitably collide head-on, in the imperial capitals firmly controlled by the reformists, Jitianjie and Tianjixing, there are still a large number of people from the four Electoral Prince families stranded, or with them The great aristocrats and the great business class who are inextricably linked.
After all, Tianjixing is the heart of the empire.
Nobles and sects with a little strength will set up an office in the imperial capital to advocate their own interests.
There are also many lobbying groups that are attached to the Senate, including hundreds of institutions of higher learning.
There are a large number of noble children studying there.
The Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi was so fast that in almost three days, he used "Devil Abyss" Li Jianyi, "Broken Star Sword" Song Huanzhen and other old monsters to rebel against several of the four electorate families. fleet, and launched a surprise attack on the aristocratic coalition stationed on the starry sky battle forts in various places in the Extreme Heaven Realm.
When the ignorant nobles woke up from their dreams, the reformist fleet had firmly surrounded the atmosphere of Tianji Star, and began to divide, surround and devour the remaining soldiers scattered in the vast star field of Jitian Realm.
In this month of rapid changes and turbulence, the most popular saying in the imperial capital is "in the name of the empire."
For the great nobles, as well as the rich and merchants who are inextricably related to the great nobles, this sentence is a reminder to them.
"In the name of the empire, all accounts and assets of your sect in the imperial capital will now be frozen, and all of them will be used for military purposes.
Please rest assured that after the great cause of reforming the empire is completed, they will definitely be returned to your sect with interest!"
"In the name of the empire, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, in the name of all the citizens of the empire, we now execute the sacred judgment against you, the shameless traitor who betrayed the empire and betrayed human civilization.
Go to hell, traitor!"
"In the name of the empire, in order to reform the great cause of the empire, all the immortal cultivators in your family who have awakened their spiritual roots will now be recruited to participate in this sacred war.
This is your supreme honor.
Please come out and assemble all the immortal cultivators on the list. , come with us!”
Countless imperial guards, low-level immortal cultivators, and young grassroots officers converged into a powerful torrent that overwhelmed everything, and ruthlessly wiped out the powerful aristocrats entrenched in the imperial capital.
Such murderous orders were heard throughout the imperial capital every day.
For those wealthy families that have been in business for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years, all their assets have been frozen and confiscated.
Even the crystal stones, magic weapons, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures privately hidden by the family have been washed out every bit, and all the immortal cultivators have been forcibly taken away. , after being broken up, they were tied to the chariot of the reformist faction, the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi.
For those relatively "obedient" nobles, the reformists will issue them certification documents stamped with the seal of the "Senate Reform Committee" and solemnly promise them that when the reform is successful, they will return even a cent of their capital and profits. for them.
Of course, considering that these cultivators have been sent to the most dangerous battlefields, I don’t know how many of them can survive the first three to five months.
Even if the Senate Reform Committee really keeps its promise, who will inherit this family property?
They are all unknown.
The situation is stronger than the people.
There are really many nobles who are quick-thinking and ruthless.
They are determined not to get the certification documents of the Senate Reform Committee, but they "donate" all their property to "the great cause of reforming the empire", just to put things right as soon as possible. , restore the glory of the empire thousands of years ago.
These nobles immediately became the models touted by the reformists.
The children of the family were instantly transferred from the most dangerous cannon fodder troops to the relatively safe garrison and logistics troops.
They also received another promise to participate in the four general elections in the future.
In the war between the imperial families, once the enemy is completely defeated, they will naturally have a share of the astronomical trophies.
All the wealth they lose today can be doubled back by then.
Changing the rudder according to the wind is an innate skill of immortal cultivators.
After setting up a few examples, the reformists quickly integrated most of the power of the nobility, large and small, in the imperial capital.
Of course, not all nobles trapped in the imperial capital are so wise and willing.
Many nobles were reluctant to part with the wealth they had accumulated over hundreds of years of hard work, and some even refused to believe that small reformists could succeed, but they fought against the Senate Reform Committee to the end.
They soon tasted the iron fist of the reformists and were deeply branded as traitors.
Not only were all their property confiscated, but all family members were also organized into a death squad that was close to death.
Regardless of whether the four Electoral Prince families can make a comeback, even if they do come back one day, these families will have been razed to the ground long ago, with not even a speck of dust left.
Under the merciless crushing of the reformists, many nobles chose to flee with the remnants of the four Electoral families.
Because the atmosphere has been firmly surrounded by the reformist fleet, and the dozens of starry sky battle forts guarding the imperial capital have all fallen into the hands of the reformists, there are almost no starships that can forcefully break out of the atmosphere.
Any starship that acts recklessly will be torn to pieces by the ferocious firepower of the Star Battle Fortress shortly after emerging from the atmosphere.
Even if it is not torn apart, just the shell is torn, it is almost impossible to jump among the stars if you don't want to be involved in the storm of the four-dimensional space and be annihilated into nothingness.
Then, there is only one way left to escape the imperial capital.
First pass through the super teleportation array on the surface of Tianji Star, similar to the "Tianyuan Cannon" and "Blood Demon Eye", and randomly teleport to the periphery of Daoji Tianjie, which is equivalent to skipping the fleet and starry sky battle fortress surrounding the planet, and then activate the starship itself.

Equipped with the star sea jumping system, you can escape in one breath.
In the field of star sea jumping, the Real Human Empire is still hundreds of years ahead of the Federation of Stars.
The Tianyuan Star of the Xingyao Federation only has one super teleportation array, the "Tian Yuan Cannon", and the Blood Demon Star only has one "Blood Demon Eye".
However, in the heart of the empire, on the Jitian Realm and the Tianji Star, there are more than a dozen of them with an astonishing throughput.
The super teleportation array exists.
These dozen super teleportation arrays are equivalent to a dozen precious escape routes.
They have helped countless nobles and remnants escape from the imperial capital in the past month.
But of course they were also the first target of the reformists.
After a month of fierce fighting, they fell into the hands of the reformists one after another.
To this day, there is only the last super teleportation array left in the hands of the four Elector families, known as the "Lingfeng Tunnel".
This is a super teleportation array with a very strange structure.
Most of the structure is built in a rolling, towering mountain range.
It is like digging a spiral upward tunnel inside the mountain.
The starship enters the mountain from the foot of the mountain. , continuously accelerating on the crystal rail of the spiral tunnel, and finally roaring out from the giant hole on the top of the mountain, it can tear the void, jump out of thousands of encirclements, and appear at any point in the vast star field outside the extreme heaven.
This towering mountain range is called the Lingfeng Mountains, hence the name "Lingfeng Tunnel".
It can be seen from the structure hidden deep in the mountain that this super teleportation array was designed as a military super teleportation array with the highest defense level from the very beginning.
Relying on the entire Lingfeng Mountain Range, countless fixed firepower points, light and dark battle forts, underground arsenals and anti-aircraft artillery positions have been built.
The mountain has been reinforced layer by layer with countless layers of defensive formations.
Even if it is carpet bombed, the entire mountain will be razed to the ground. , and it may not be able to harm the super teleportation array inside at all.
After hundreds of years of development, a large city called "Lingfeng City" was built at the foot of the mountain.
Most of the residents were tribesmen from the four electorate families who were stationed in the imperial capital.
One can imagine their attitude towards the so-called "Senate Reform Committee" Know.
When all the strongholds in the imperial capital fell to the hands of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, the Lingfeng Tunnel became the only island lighting up the light of hope in the storm of innovation.
All the nobles who were eager to escape from the imperial capital gathered here.
While resisting, they scrambled to board the starship, get into the tunnel, and escape.
The army of reformists followed and surrounded Lingfeng City and Lingfeng Tunnel from the sky, the ground and underground, determined to cut off the nobles' last escape route and remove their last stand in the imperial capital. flag.
But the progress of the war was not as smooth as expected.
The special topography of the Lingfeng Tunnel and the composition of the residents of Lingfeng City are certainly one factor.
More importantly, there are too many nobles who gather here from all directions.
This small city is most likely the imperial capital, no, it is the place with the largest number of immortal cultivators per unit area in the entire empire.
The swords of the old aristocrats were like the sharp thorns of a hedgehog, poking brightly into the sky, which made the reformists feel that they had no choice but to take advantage of them.
Encircling three towers and one tower is common sense in the art of war.
At this moment, even if the reformists have the ability to seal off the Lingfeng Tunnel, they dare not do so rashly, for fear that the nobles who have lost hope of escape will jump over the wall and launch a crazy counterattack against them.
The casualties were heavy and the gain was not worth the loss.
Now, the forces of the reformists basically consist of three major parts.
First, there is the backbone with the deep-sea fleet as the core.
There is no problem with the combat effectiveness and loyalty of these people, but the number is too small and they can never be wasted in unnecessary sieges.
Next is the Royal Forest Army, which is extremely large in number and has high morale and loyalty.
However, its training and combat effectiveness are slightly insufficient.
They can fight with the wind.
However, if the nobles launch a fierce counterattack, the whole army will collapse and collapse.
Third, the aristocratic army that had just surrendered had no problem with their combat effectiveness, but their loyalty was questionable.
They needed to be further cleaned and reorganized.
Naturally, it was not easy to rush them onto such a battlefield.
Among the reformists, there is still the idea that the number of starships that can be transported out of the "Lingfeng Tunnel" every day is extremely limited.

It would be good if one or two of a hundred nobles can escape, and the remaining nobles are extremely It would be a pity to kill all valuable talents.
If they can be persuaded to surrender, the strength of the two sides will be one and the other, so naturally it would be better.
Therefore, the "Battle of Lingfeng Tunnel" dragged on for nearly a month without ending.
When Li Yao and his party finally arrived at the Lingfeng Mountain Range, the entire mountain range was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke!
