Not long after, information about the Merfolk appeared on the interstellar network.
They used this to point out that Yu Tang was an imposter, saying that he was not the Yu Tang General who had been exiled from the Oro Empire, but a lowly mermaid. They also subtly accused the Queen of being poor at judging people, daring to use anyone, and asking if she was not afraid of plunging the entire empire into chaos by letting such an imposter become the empire's general.
Moreover, since Yu Tang is a merman, Yu Xiao, who came with him, might be of some lowly race, or even a spy from an enemy country!
After disappearing for two years, these two people still want to control the empire's military and political power. This is simply contempt for the empire and an insult to the intelligence of hundreds of billions of citizens!
Internal and external reactionaries are working together to incite public opinion, causing more and more people to waver.
Yes, the engagement banquet video circulating online shows that Yu Tang and Yu Xiao have the same face as the original two generals.
With technology so advanced now, it's not impossible to create a fake face.
Moreover, the testimony of the Merfolk is there for all to see, saying that Yu Tang is Yu Tang of the Merfolk, and is not Yu Shang/General at all, and the evidence is conclusive.
To the uninformed citizens, this merman daring to impersonate their most respected and admired general was simply intolerable!
As a result, the interplanetary network was thrown into chaos.
The city of Los Angeles is in chaos.
At the same time, the Jersey Empire took this opportunity to launch a major attack on Euro Star, plunging the Euro Empire into a state of internal and external troubles!
Inside the palace, the Queen, her expression furious, said coldly to Yu Tang, "General Yu Tang, even though things have developed to this point, I can still choose to protect you."
But only if I tell you everything you know!
Having been in power for many years, she knows very well who is behind all of this.
This is a political war, beset by internal and external troubles, with some people colluding with enemy countries to oust her from power!
The Yutang incident was merely a trigger, a tool used to stir up trouble!
Because she knew very well that the two people in front of her were the generals who had once driven away foreign enemies for the empire!
No matter how much public opinion swirls around her, she still trusts these two people!
But the prerequisite is that they need to be honest and cooperate!
“Alright…” Yu Tang and Yu Xiao beside him exchanged a glance, knelt on one knee, and said, “Your Majesty, this is exactly what I wanted to hear from you.”
He told the Queen about his rebirth and also revealed the Jersey Empire's research into smiling robots as weapons.
Then, pulling Yu Xiao aside, he said, "Your Majesty, the most powerful weapon to defeat public opinion is to prove yourself with real strength."
"Now that the Jersey Empire is taking the opportunity to attack Eurostar, it also gives Yu Xiao and me a chance to show our abilities."
"Your subject begs to obey your command and rush to the battlefield, vowing not to return until victory is achieved!"
The Queen's expression softened, and she seemed slightly moved, as if she could see the scene before the great battle two years ago through Yu Tang.
She said, "But you should know that public opinion is currently very strong, and even if I give you power, there will still be people in the military who do not trust you."
After all, two years ago, that battle took away those Nebula Knights who swore to be loyal to you to the death.
What's left now are mostly inexperienced rookies.
I have no idea about the legends you once created, so how do you plan to lead them to victory in this battle?
“If they don’t understand, then force them to understand.” Yu Xiao raised his eyes and said to the Queen.
"On the battlefield, absolute strength prevails. We will make them understand that we are worthy of this responsibility and can subdue this group of people!"
Yu Tang gave him an appreciative look and replied to the Queen, "Therefore, Your Majesty, you only need to give us orders."
"We'll handle the rest ourselves."
The Queen finally sighed, her eyes flashing with admiration for the two people before her.
She said, "Okay, I choose to believe you."
"In return, I will also help you take good care of those merfolk."
"You must win this battle decisively! Reclaim all the lost territories of the Oro Empire! Let all the people see that you deserve their respect!"
Yu Tang and Yu Xiao exchanged a smile, then bowed and said, "Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission!"
The Queen told them to get up, and Yu Tang thought for a moment before asking.
"Your Majesty, will the Weiss Empire send troops to support us in this war?"
The Queen nodded: "Yes..."
“Eurostar is not far from them, which involves their interests, in addition to their relationship with Xun’er.”
They will definitely lend a helping hand as long as we apply.
After a moment's thought, Yu Tang said, "May I request that they send a specific general?"
"Designated a name?" The Queen sensed his intention and asked, "Do you have a familiar general in the Weiss Empire?"
"have……"
"who?"
"Their fourth prince, Mu Xinglin."
Happy Saturday, my darlings! Thank you all for urging me to update and for the little gifts! ⚹ ￣3ε￣ ⚹
Chapter 36
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (36)
During this period, Yu Tang and Yu Xiao maintained contact with Tang Xun and Mu Xinglin.
Only the four of them knew that Mu Xinglin was impersonating Mu Lanke.
As they spent more time together, many things became impossible to hide.
This includes the suffering Mu Xinglin endured to change his situation and the efforts he made to stand by his side.
All of this made Tang Xun feel guilty and sad.
Therefore, he became even more determined to restore Mu Xinglin to his original identity.
Because he didn't want his Xinglin brother to compromise himself by dressing up as a woman just to stay by his side.
The four discussed and came up with a solution.
The idea was to appoint Mu Xinglin as the commander of the Weiss Empire's support forces and have him join the battle.
On the one hand, it allowed Her Majesty the Queen to get to know him and witness his strength; on the other hand, it gave Mu Xinglin a suitable identity so that he could better cooperate with Yu Tang and Yu Xiao to fight against the Jersey Empire.
"Mu Xinglin..." The Queen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is it Mu Xinglin who only joined the royal family of the Weis Empire a year ago?"
Seeing Yu Tang nod, the Queen still hesitated: "That fourth prince is said to have been active in the lower echelons of the Weis Empire in his early years. I am worried that his vision and ability may not be as good as those of the regular commanders of the Weis Empire."
Yu Tang pursed his lips and softly reminded the Queen, "Your Majesty, please don't forget that I am also of commoner origin."
The Queen suddenly realized.
After a moment, he shook his head and chuckled, "Okay, I understand."
“I will apply to the Weiss Empire to appoint him as the commander of the support forces. But on the condition that, General Yu Tang, you do not disappoint me.”
Yu Tang clenched his fist and pounded his chest three times in response to the Queen.
"Your Majesty, I will never let you down."
Once the matter was settled, Yu Tang and Yu Xiao first informed Mu Xinglin and Tang Xun of the good news.
Then, when he got home, he found Yu Shasha secretly wiping away tears.
Yu Xiao prepared snacks, toys, games, and videos, but Yu Shasha didn't touch any of them.
Hearing the door open, she quickly tried to hold back her tears and anxiously asked, "Brother, Brother Xiao, did His Majesty make things difficult for you?"
"And what about Father, Mother, and the clansmen? Will they ever be able to return to Sasha's side?"
Being so young, Yu Shasha is in a state of extreme panic after such a big change, but she still remembers that Yu Tang must be under a lot of pressure as well. So she restrained herself and didn't start crying or making a scene.
Yu Tang felt sorry for her sensible nature, so he stepped forward and patted Yu Shasha's head, replying, "Shasha, don't worry, they'll be alright."
"I promise you, your brother Yu Xiao and I will definitely get them safely back to you and reunite with you."
"Just believe me, don't be too sad, okay?"
His voice was gentle and soothing, gradually calming Yu Shasha's emotions. The little mermaid hugged him and choked out, "Okay..."
After comforting Yu Shasha, Yu Tang summoned his adjutant, He An.
"He An, take good care of Sasha. Yu Xiao and I are going to the military headquarters and will be back tonight."
He An replied, "Yes, sir."
He An is He Yu's younger brother.
He Yu died in the war two years ago. He An had heard his brother talk a lot about Yu Tang before.
So even if people outside say a lot of bad things about Yu Tang, saying he's a fake.
But He An still chose to remain loyal to the man in front of her.
As Yu Tang and Yu Xiao drove to the military headquarters, the Queen's orders arrived.
When it comes to important matters, the Queen is decisive and decisive, abandoning her usual humble attitude and displaying her full authority.
After Yu Tang left, he directly exercised supreme power to release all the merfolk who were imprisoned, detained, or sold within the empire and sent them to regular shelters.
He dispatched his personal guards to protect him closely.
Afterwards, they contacted the Weiss Empire and submitted an application to appoint Mu Xinglin as commander.
Her actions naturally drew criticism from the nobility.
In addition, some people with ulterior motives stirred things up behind the scenes, and with just a few words, they portrayed the Queen as a monarch who disregarded public opinion and was irrational!
Prince Xu ordered the arrest of anyone who dared to slander the Queen, but this was only a temporary solution. With the combined efforts of enemy forces and domestic reactionaries, the situation escalated.
The marchers were stopped outside by the Royal Guard and continued to shout for a reasonable explanation from the Queen.
Prince Xu wiped the sweat from his brow and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, my suggestion is that you leave the palace first and avoid the limelight for the time being."
Otherwise, if things continue like this, it could easily escalate into a riot, and I'm afraid you might get hurt.
The Queen rejected his suggestion, got up, and went to the viewing platform on the third floor of the palace.
