Chapter 2119 Gone and Never to Return
Somkes was a little confused.
He felt that something big must have happened.
Otherwise, how could the goal of the exercise be set so outrageously?
It was fine if aliens invaded, but they were required to defeat the aliens head-on?
Such a large warship, flying in the sky, must have larger caliber artillery?
As a royal child with great talent, Somkes keenly realized that it was extremely stupid to fight such a behemoth head-on.
Perhaps, breaking up into small pieces, conducting guerrilla warfare or destroying the opponent's plan is the right way?
Ha, only those stupid civil servants would really believe that the guards could be invincible with courage and the emperor's blessing, right?
Because of the environment.
The first intelligent civilizations on this planet established small city-states.
These city-states have four or five thousand people, and the smallest ones have no more than seven or eight hundred people.
It belongs to the standard acquaintance political and social environment.
In such an environment, the system of independent bureaucrats who obey the emperor and help the emperor manage the territory did not begin to sprout until the Age of Exploration.
It was not until the establishment of the Som Empire that it was truly established and implemented.
Therefore, all the problems of the civil service system on the Blue Water Star.
The Som Empire has them, and they are even more serious.
That is, the emperor of the Som Empire is really special. He can always turn the tide at critical junctures and forcibly prolong his life.
But even so.
In the minds of young people who are a little ambitious and vindictive, the civil servants of the empire are a group of rotten and evil villains.
It was they who fooled His Majesty the Emperor and deceived the superiors and subordinates, which caused the Som Empire to be in turmoil and made these young talents depressed.
"The topic of the exercise was chosen by His Majesty."
It seemed that he could see the shock of these senior officers of the Imperial Guard.
The bureaucrats who came on behalf of the royal family quickly brought out the golden signboard of the emperor.
Then, at noon.
The people of the imperial capital of the Som Empire were surprised to find that a large number of imperial guards were dispatched and marched out of the imperial capital in formation.
Many people speculated whether there was another rebellion somewhere.
Only some wealthy families had a vague guess that it might be related to the UFO found in the planetarium.
Some people began to prepare for both situations, and some people left the imperial capital first and went to the country estate.
As a general, Somkes stood on a steam armored car, watching the new soldiers he led, sweating profusely, forming a square military formation under the scorching sun.
Although this military formation on the Blue Water Planet may not be as good as high school students who have only been in military training for a week.
In the Som Empire, this level is already excellent.
It shows that Somkes is an excellent training commander.
The exercise position is near a volcano near the imperial capital.
This volcano is called the Holy Mountain, which is a holy place in the hearts of the Som people in a sense.
In ancient times, it was indeed this volcano that provided enough fertile land and warm temperature, making the crops here rare to have high yields, nurturing the tribes at the foot of the mountain, and allowing them to become the strongest civilized tribe on this planet.
And finally, after repeated changes, it became the current empire.
"The holy mountain will bless us."
Looking at the majestic volcano that seemed to be right in front of him, Somkes thought of the dozens of wives at home.
He whispered, as if to cheer himself up.
At this moment.
A skinny monkey-like general rode a mount like an elk and ran over.
The general approached Somkes, his face full of envy:
"Kes, you are really lucky this time!"
"Huh?"
Somkes was slightly startled, not knowing why.
"Do you know, you kid has become a candidate for emperor!"
The monkey general told the news he just knew:
"Don't open your mouth so wide!"
"What I said is true, you know, my father is one of the most trusted ministers of His Majesty."
"You will know this after you finish the exercise."
The monkey general said this, somewhat fortunate that he had never offended the other party in the Guards.
This is why he was given an important task by the family, and he must be friends with Somkes!
This is really a good guy!
General Monkey understood immediately. It seemed that His Majesty had set his sights on Somkes.
The rest was just a matter of procedure.
Alas, I also have royal blood, so why haven't I been considered by the bigwigs above?
Somkes, apart from being stronger and having more wives, how can he compare to me?
It's okay to think about it, but you still have to please him.
After General Monkey's repeated explanations.
Somkes accepted the fact that he became a candidate emperor.
And he thought that maybe his mentor had made great efforts in this regard?
After all, from childhood to adulthood, it seemed that only the mentor who taught him knowledge at the beginning praised him, and now he is in an important position?
Although the candidate emperor may not necessarily become the emperor.
But being a candidate emperor is itself a great thing, which shows that your talent has been recognized by His Majesty the Emperor.
And there is a historical record that the candidate emperors of the Som Empire are still living well, and there are many legendary figures who were sent out to become powerful lords and have branched out into large families.
Somkes didn't think he could be emperor.
But if you can get a piece of territory and then take your family there to dominate, that would be great...
The beautiful fantasy is still going on in my mind.
Suddenly, Somkes shuddered.
He noticed that the sunlight seemed to be disappearing rapidly.
The earth and the holy mountains are covered in thick shadows.
Is this a dark cloud coming?
However, it was still cloudless just now, but now the dark clouds are moving so fast?
Somkes was thinking this, and found that the monkey general next to him who had just been chatting with him about his feelings just now raised his head, his expression as dull as a wooden man.
Somkes realized something. He swallowed and slowly raised his head.
immediately.
The young general saw the cloudless sky.
A giant spaceship that was as black as ink but emitted metallic reflections, full of indescribable beauty and indescribable majestic charm, was slowly landing in the sky.
As it continues to decrease in height.
Its size takes up increasingly larger areas of the sky.
The sunlight seemed to be oppressed by it and kept giving way, changing from a crescent moon to a small crescent moon, and finally turned into a thin golden edge and finally disappeared completely.
The sky and the earth were plunged into darkness.
Under the boundless shadow created by the alien warship...
Looking at this alien battleship that is higher than the Holy Mountain and many times bigger.
The Praetorian Guards fell into a sense of suffocation.
I couldn't help myself for a long time.
And in the palace of the Som Empire.
Som VII came to the balcony, grabbed the railing and looked into the distance after seeing the black battleship that almost obscured the horizon.
He understood.
The era when the Som Empire ruled the most fertile land... is gone forever!
