Chapter 91: Creating a Pretext for Declaring War

Ai Mengqi didn't know that her every move was under the surveillance of the Empire, and she was the "survivor" of this plan.

Many "Imbec" pirates who received the news consciously bypassed the cabin where Ai Mengqi was, and at the same time made way for her to the water tank.

That's right, the Empire had left a hint in her brain when she input her memory half a month ago. As long as she felt fear, this hint would be activated, guiding her to escape to the water tank.

After killing all the death row prisoners, the "pirates" disguised as the Imperial Royal Guard returned to the strange spaceship with the money in the spaceship.

The strange spaceship spewed flames and flew towards the distant star. Twenty Royal Guard soldiers took out their pistols and pointed them at their heads, gently pulling the trigger.

Bloody bullets flew in the cabin, and the strange spaceship flew to the star with the bodies of everyone, destroying all evidence that affected the Empire's plan.

At this time, the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a diplomatic notice to the Imbechi Alliance and sent out the video of the Quantum Cruise tragedy.

And broadcast a righteous condemnation message to the countries near the Empire:

"On June 21, 2028, the Sith Empire calendar, an Imperial Quantum cruise ship carrying 358 Sith citizens was attacked by pirates in the Imbechi Alliance! Suffered a heinous massacre! Only one of the 358 people on board survived!"

"The lives of my citizens of the Empire just disappeared in a foreign star field inexplicably!"

"This massacre is a contempt for the authority of the Sith Empire! It is a disregard for the lives of the citizens of the Empire!"

"The Empire solemnly demands that the Imbechi Alliance The Bech Alliance will capture and hand over the culprit of this tragedy within three months! "

"I, Li Mingze, only represent all citizens of the Sith Empire to express condolences to the 357 citizens of the Empire who died! The Empire will never let a murderer go!"

"I, the Sith Empire, hereby promises to the citizens of the Empire who are abroad that no matter where you are, the Empire will be your strongest backing!"

The countries surrounding the Sith Empire were in an uproar. It was just a citizen of a spaceship. They made such a fuss. They didn't know how many people died in hyperspace.

The Imbechi Alliance was very anxious at this time. They didn't expect that this incident would be so serious and directly rose to the level of diplomacy.

The Imbechi Alliance started diplomatic contacts while setting up an investigation team to catch the pirates who caused the incident and vent their anger.

At the same time, they replied to the Sith Empire:

"I, the Imbechi Alliance, will definitely catch the pirates who massacred your citizens. I hope that the Sith Empire can remain restrained. There is still a lot of room for communication between the two sides..."

After receiving it, Li Mingze sneered again and again. If you can find me, I won't go back to Earth.

Three months passed in a flash, and the investigation team set up by the Imbechi Alliance found nothing.

The looted items were not found, and the spacecraft used for the robbery was not found. The top leaders of the Imbechi Alliance were anxious.

As expected, the Sith Empire sent them another notice, informing them that if the pirates who caused the massacre were not handed over to them in the last week, they would take the Imbechi Alliance to court.

What court? Of course, it was the "Supreme Court of the Stars" established by the Empire itself, and the judges came from the Sith Empire, the Sith Empire, and the Sith Empire.

Ai Mengqi returned to the Sith Empire by spacecraft under the escort of the Imperial Marines.

Located in the near-stellar orbit of the Cape of Good Hope Galaxy.

A huge disc-shaped space station with a diameter of 4.3 kilometers floats quietly next to the star. The bottom of the disc is a four-sided pyramid-shaped tower. At the junction of the tower and the disc, three three-kilometer-long extension arms extend out of the disc and rotate slowly, like the blades of a windmill.

A huge opening several hundred meters wide was opened in the lower half of the disc, which was the port of the "Supreme Court of Stars".

The small passenger ship carrying Ai Mengqi slowly flew into the port of the space station, and a layer of blue light film blocked the air in the port inside the port.

This layer of blue light film is the latest technology developed by the Empire based on the research data of the Parker Alliance and the planetary shield of Amon Star. Unfortunately, it only has the ability to block air and cannot defend against attacks.

As the spacecraft was sucked by the mechanical arm in the port, a transparent trestle extended from the port to the airlock door of the spacecraft.

Ai Mengqi came to the lounge next to the trial hall surrounded by the crowd.

In the trial hall, in order to show the "fairness" of the court, four Sith and one Parker sat on the judge's bench.

Now please invite the Sith Empire...

Now please invite the only survivor Ai Mengqi to the stage!

Under the attention of everyone, Ai Mengqi carefully walked to the witness stand in the trial hall.

"Your Honor, I am the only survivor of the massacre!" Ai Mengqi said, looking at the judge.

"Now, put the evidence on the screens on both sides of the court." The judge ordered, and the soldier beside him nodded and inserted the metal pendant into the main computer in the court.

As the video evidence was played, the onlookers in the courtroom clamored to punish the murderer.

A few hours later.

The judge gave the final verdict, declaring the pirates who attacked the Quantum cruise ship as Imbeci terrorists! Execution! Executed by the Empire!

Although no one from the Imbeci Alliance was present, the necessary procedures still had to be followed, so that the Empire would appear "fair and just."

On October 25, 2028, the Empire broadcast a notice to neighboring countries regarding the terrorist attack on the Quantum Cruise Ship and listed them as terrorists.

On October 26, 2028, the ready-to-go First and Second Fleets of the Empire assembled in Morone, a border system close to the Imbechi Alliance.

Countless warships obscured the war fortress on the orbit of Morone, and supply ships shuttled between the fortress and the warships.

The assembled orbital death army and the Imperial Marines have also boarded transport ships and landing ships to advance towards the Morone system.

The engine of the entire Imperial chariot seemed to be injected with an accelerant, accelerating the Sith Empire's chariot faster and faster...

On October 28, 2028, the reorganized First and Second Fleets flew to the edge of the Morone system, and with a white flash, the First and Second Fleets of the Empire disappeared into space.

On October 29, 2028, the Empire announced the blockade of the border adjacent to the Imbechi Alliance, and all economic exchanges between the two countries were stopped! The Imbeci people in the empire were also imprisoned.

Soon, the empire announced that it had entered a wartime economy, and all private enterprises and individuals began to contribute to the empire's war machine for free.

All entertainment activities in the empire were frozen! All singers could only sing war songs and national anthems, and TV series and movies were all turned into various movie videos promoting the imperial army.

The only exception was that "Fantasy", which was used to screen potential soldiers, was still running normally, which caused a large number of citizens who had no entertainment activities to move into the game.

Taking the opportunity to criticize the Americans, please vote, why are there so few votes today!
