In the command hall of the Empire's No. 3 Transition Base, a Marquis Mecha being slowly transported attracted the attention of all the apes and monkeys present.
Although, for the sake of facilitating the passage of mechas, both the Federation and Empire bases have gates and domes built tall and wide enough, this Marquis Mecha was brought in lying flat.
Its pilot was already dead.
Yet sometimes, the value of a corpse surpasses many living beings, especially in a societal structure like that of the Empire. Inside the entire command hall, apart from the Empire Grand Duke Mu Gongyi who was the commander, the combined worth of the lives of all other apes and monkeys a week ago did not exceed the value of this corpse.
Because a week ago, the father of this corpse, one of the Empire's Kings of Four Directions, the King of the East, was not yet dead.
