Chapter 573: So-called MercyNeo's Resurrection
Pairs of astonished and shocked eyes fell on Lu Yun's face.
A slightly plump confidential minister cupped his hands and said seriously, "Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence. Prince Lu's sudden move to slaughter people is probably not a good thing for Your Majesty's reputation."
Another minister nodded in agreement: "Besides, Prince Lu has only been in the empire for a short time, so he may not be very familiar with the situation of the Secret Order.
The secret society has been dormant in the empire for decades. These forces are very cunning and rarely show up. The identity of their leader is extremely mysterious.
The empire has never stopped its campaign against them over the years, but every time they kill one group, another group will pop up in another place after a while.
They pop up like mushrooms after rain, so annoying!
Therefore, completely eliminating their threat is not something that can be done in a short period of time, and it is certainly not something that can be resolved with just a single word from you, Prince Lu."
Bertwood VI nodded slightly, without saying anything, but looked at Lu Yun, wanting to hear what Lu Yun had to say.
Lu Yun chuckled softly and said in a neutral tone, "In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. You should all understand this principle."
“And in Lu’s opinion, true kindness should be kindness towards one’s own people.
Granting mercy to those who break the law and do evil, isn't that harming good and lawful people? "
"As for the Secret Order, Dragon General Lelia may not have told you yet. Just before coming here, she captured a Dragon Feast Priest of the Secret Order. If we can pry the Secret Order's core secrets out of him, wouldn't it be easy to resolve this hidden danger with the Empire's strength?"
Bertwood VI looked at Lelia who was sitting beside him and asked in surprise:
"Lelia, you captured a Dragon Feast Priest?"
Lelia said respectfully, "Thanks to Prince Lu's help, we were lucky enough to capture a priest-level figure alive. He was just sent to the Church of Light, and he should be interrogating him right now."
Bertwood VI clapped his hands in delight.
"here you go."
"Is this the first time we've captured such a heavyweight alive?"
"It seems they don't want to be lonely and want to get out and move around, which gives us the perfect opportunity!"
Burtwood slammed the table and ordered, "Be sure to inquire thoroughly and pry out all the secrets. We can use extraordinary measures if necessary."
Lelia glanced at Bertwood, whose face was flushed, in surprise.
This was the first time that the benevolent emperor said, "Don't worry about the means."
In the past, in the empire, the death penalty would not be easily imposed unless the person committed a serious crime such as treason, murder or looting.
Even the defense chief whose dereliction of duty caused the current insect plague in the capital star zone was only sentenced to life imprisonment.
But now, seemingly touched by Lu Yun's words about kindness, Bertwood seemed to have made some changes.
At times like this, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
Lelia smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Bertwood VI looked back at Lu Yun and said, "Thanks to Lu Qing, this time we may have a chance to completely end the Secret Order."
"But even if Mr. Lu has a suitable solution, I still need to think it over carefully. How about Mr. Lu giving me two more days?"
Lu Yun smiled and didn't press the issue: "Your Majesty, you can take your time to consider it. There's no need to rush."
After saying that, he took out two small storage devices and pushed them to the table.
"I have two combat methods here, which I will give to Dragon General Qi Tian and Dragon General Lelia."
"A crisis is approaching. As members of the universe, I hope we can work together to protect everything we cherish."
"Tactics?"
The people in the room didn't understand what these two combat methods meant, but they couldn't hide their curiosity.
I'm curious about what kind of tactics they use and why they take it so seriously.
Lelia and Qi Tian thanked him sincerely, took the storage device, and did not check it on the spot.
Lu Yun's trip was over, so he didn't stay any longer and got up to say goodbye and leave.
As for whether King Bertwood VI agrees with his plan, they will contact him then.
But no matter whether the empire is willing to participate or not, Lu Yun has to do it.
All I can say is that this matter would be much simpler if the empire were involved.
After leaving the Jin Palace, Lu Yun saw a beautiful figure waiting by the railing not far away.
"Is it over? How did the talk go?"
Ophelia put on some light makeup today, and the light blue eyeshadow made her fair face look even more delicate.
Lu Yun smiled and nodded: "It should be pretty good."
"Now that business is over, I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting our pilot to dinner?"
"It's still the Sky Garden from last time."
Behind the railing, the familiar red flying supercar slowly stopped, and the gull-wing doors opened automatically, revealing an exquisite and gorgeous interior.
Ophelia leaned sideways, making an inviting gesture, with an expectant look on her face.
If the wealthy children in the capital saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
When did the new 'Valkyrie' ever have such an expression?
Lu Yun was about to agree when his watch suddenly vibrated slightly. He raised his hand to open the message.
Ophelia waited quietly.
After a few seconds, Lu Yun put down his hand and smiled apologetically.
"It goes without saying, I understand."
Ophelia smiled and reached out to stop Lu Yun from saying anything. "Go and do your thing. We'll make up for this invitation when we have time."
Seeing the regret hidden between the woman's brows, Lu Yun said softly, "I'm sorry."
Then he took a step back and jumped up.
A black and red streak flew over, caught Lu Yun in mid-air, and then soared into the sky.
Ophelia raised her head, and the air currents from Haotian's ascent messed up her carefully groomed silver hair.
The girl murmured, "You never have to say those two words to me."
……
"Neo has fully recovered at this time and even asked to see me."
Inside the cockpit.
Lu Yun had a complicated expression.
The message was sent directly from the Hersefener family and did not pass through Jun Qingshan and others.
"Master, based on the delay in communication between the two places, this message should have been sent half a month ago. I'm afraid Neo has already taken action by now."
"Didn't Elder Jun and the others receive any urgent news?"
"There's been no news from the communication base stations of the several Chamber of Commerce groups maintained within the empire."
Let me tell you something interesting.
Because the two countries have vast territories and various barriers exist.
If emergency communications are needed between the Empire and the Federation, it would be much faster to use manually piloted spacecraft to make space jumps than to post a message on the battle network and wait for it to be transmitted.
Therefore, any particularly urgent information will generally be sent to a communication station located on the border first. The stationed personnel will then carry the message and drive a spacecraft into the empire, and then make a space jump.
“Since there is no news, it means that the Federation is still stable.
Neo shouldn't have acted so quickly. He's a rational man. If he knew the current situation, he wouldn't have acted rashly."
Haotian came to the Black Prison on orbit.
The Black Prison, which had been in a waiting state and was already controlled by Xiao Ai, started up automatically at the moment Haotian logged in, and immediately entered into a jump as it left the planet's gravitational influence zone.
