Ch41 - Rebellion was not a simple thing (2/2)
But leaving him alone did not mean that he would ignore his troops. His Royal Highness’s army was the most elite military division in the Empire. Xue Ling rubbed his chin and began to consider the possibility of bringing this team under his own command.
The system flickered to one side, indicating that it could provide a lot of information for the host. Based on the host’s current body constitution, piloting mecha in space to perform mass slaughter on the Zerg was absolutely not a problem.
Xue Ling clapped his hands together and made the decision to begin training in piloting mecha.
Of course, that would have to wait until after he came back.
Xue Ling needed to return to the Rhine family on the second day after the wedding. In order to protect the original owner’s family, he felt that it would be necessary to talk to them. Since it was unlikely that a family who were willing to die for the Empire would listen to him and agree to rebel with him, Xue Ling had set his sights on his brother, the General who was stationed on the front line and would who would later be killed by His Highness the Prince, Warren Joan Rhine.
Well, according to the original’s memory, this elder brother loved him very much, and was not always adamant about putting the interests of the royal family first. He also felt particularly disdainful towards the Prince, and had been very upset over his marriage to his younger brother.
His military ability was also very high.

After making such an analysis, Xue Ling had determined his goals.
He then had the system pull out a list of the world’s leaders. He wanted to find out where that man might have transmigrated into. According to his understanding from the three previous worlds, the man was generally wealthy and handsome. In a world where force would be needed, his ability to influence the world would definitely be very high, given his level of power even within peaceful worlds. The important point was, he usually chose an identity that was relatively close to him.
Even if he was not close, he would make opportunities to become closer.
In fact, the Empire has long lost its glory. The power of the royal family seemed to be weakening from generation to generation, and even the overall power of the Empire’s leading alpha seemed to be gradually weakening. Genetics were a very mysterious and fascinating thing; the Academy of Sciences had still been unable to decipher it, and so the main fighting force of the Empire has been slowly deteriorating for nearly a hundred years. Although His Highness was now the leading alpha of the Empire, in actual fact, he was completely unable to crush Warren Joan Rhine in a fight.
Especially since the Rhine family was still strong even as everyone was turning weaker due to a particularity of their own inheritance. Fortunately, they did not revolt, and had always been loyal to the Empire, sending their family’s forces to the front lines and acting as one of the Empire’s trump cards.
The Alliance, the Empire’s rival, had been undergoing political unrest in the recent hundred years, and due to constant political changes and civil war, their ability to resist the Zerg has been relatively small.
Star piracy was rampant amongst the planets. This was a time when a single misstep could cause all political systems to collapse, and the Empire might never have the hope of rising up again.
Xue Ling didn’t care too much about these things. The system analyzed a lot of information, but he only glanced at it before finally setting his eyes on the list that had finally been pulled together.
The most powerful person in the world was this body’s ‘husband’. Xue Ling resolutely crossed him out from the list. If that man really transmigrated into the body of that scum, he would rather stab him to death and then commit suicide. They could start over again in another world.
Next, there was the Empire’s Left General. He was the youngest general of the Empire, Cheryl Jean Archicky. He could be considered a newcomer to the Empire’s aristocracy, and was a hero killed on the front lines by the Zerg.
Xue Ling looked at the three-dimensional, brightly smiling image of the Left General and decided that it didn’t seem like an expression that sullen and repressed man would have if he had transmigrated into that body.
The system also provided detailed information on the leader of the interstellar pirates. Xue Ling glanced at the holographic image. The woman had her head slightly raised as she stepped on a pile of gold with one foot, one side of her mouth curved up; she appeared very roguish, and her pose could not be more provocative. And that look in her eyes, oh… it was really tantalizing.
“Why are you providing me with information on a woman?” Xue Ling’s lips twitched a little as he expressed that he had not been attracted by a woman at all. Especially not the type that would walk up and hook a finger under your chin.
“This is Antalya, a fallen noblewoman. She is a female alpha that has great strength and courage.” The system’s voice was smooth, as though making a simple introduction. “She once pursued your current body, but was rejected, and later became a good friend before going on to become an interstellar pirate. She still wields quite a lot of power. I pulled out her information to show you in order to remind you of her existence.”

When Xue Ling searched through his memory, he indeed found a picture of the original owner being pushed up against the wall by the pirate queen and getting his chin hooked by a finger.
Xue Ling’s face darkened, and he did not hesitate at all before moving on to the next candidate.
“These are all the kings that you can choose in the future. I’m also not sure where that person is. In case you can’t find him by the time your heat arrives, you’ll have to find someone to substitute first…”
Xue Ling told the system to shut up and began to read through the information it had given.
After integrating with the Empire’s network, the information that the system had found was very detailed and complete. He had listed out anyone who had the ability to fight with the Prince throughout the entire galaxy, many of whom were attractive alphas. But Xue Ling looked through them all, and did not feel that any of them were that damned pervert.
Did he change his gender this time?
“By the way, there’s also this person. Honoria is a female beta, and the current spokeswoman for the royal family. You should develop a good relationship with her in order to make it easier for her to run public relations for you and improve your impression in the hearts of the people.”

“Got it.” Xue Ling stretched, and felt deeply that he had already become a workaholic in this world.
As a person who had been served by others for two successive worlds, and was inherently lazy, he really was somewhat unwilling to have to use his brain and do work.
But now there was no other way. He was a princess walking on a tightrope. One wrong step, and the consequences would be very serious.
Perhaps he would not be able to become the Queen.
Besides, this world held one of his tails. Although the system was not very clear, Xue Ling had a premonition that it had something to do with the rampant Zerg. Putting it another way, he could not let the struggle for power and ambition destroy the foundation of the Empire, because he would need it in order to fight the Zerg.
For his tail, he was willing to do anything!
