In a messy main battleship, soldiers came and went, everyone was in a state of panic.
"Lao Chi hasn't been found yet?"
Ali came back from the front. He had a mission to complete, so he couldn't run around. So he sent another soldier to the lower deck of the battleship to search during the chaos.
The soldier gasped, "no, I don't know where Da Jun is. Do you want to go to the rune engine room?"
Ali frowned and did not speak.
Just now, when he passed by the previous main battleship, he saw a conflict between a vanguard team and vampires who were guarding the rune engine room. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the vanguard team, they would have already started fighting.
"I'll go and have a look, you go and look around."
The area he was responsible for was not in the rune engine room, but it was related to Lao Chi's life, so he planned to go there in person.
The rune engine room was in the core position of the battleship, and Ali quickly found the place along the passage.
At the door, more than a dozen vampires were confronting a team and a few underground dwarfs. The atmosphere was tense, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger.
From a distance, Ali heard the leader of the vampires said coldly, "I don't care what you are doing, if you want to go in, you either have to get the king's order or step over our dead bodies!"
Chu Yunsheng's order to vampires was that except for them, no one was allowed to enter the rune engine. Otherwise, they would be killed.
The captain of the vampires said angrily, "someone saw them go in. If they can go in, why can't we go in?"
The leader of the vampires said coldly, "if I let others in, my king will kill me. It's not your turn to say it."
The underground dwarfs next to him were timid after all, so they tried to persuade him, "Master Lin En, we will just take a look, please make an exception."
The leader of the vampires saw that the people of the Cold Star Squad were about to go forward and grab the door, so he suddenly shouted to the vampires behind him, "Draw your swords!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The vampires drew their swords out of their sheaths, and their swords were cold and sharp.
The members of the Cold Star Squad all stopped. If they really fought, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the current vampires. The vampires were already very strong in the past, and they were also Chu Yunsheng's personal army. Later on, they even learned a new cultivation method, which was not something they could compare to.
Seeing that these bloodlings weren't budging an inch, the captain was also angered. "Don't be so shameless. In this operation, you were originally the targets of reform. We're only letting you off temporarily because of Mr. Chu's face …"
He was just halfway through his sentence when the vampire leader's ice-cold gaze abruptly turned threatening. "Who do you think you are? How dare you say you're doing this for my king's sake? This is tantamount to rebellion! Kill! "
The group of vampires responded and stepped out of the formation. Amidst the gathering of sword radiance, a small formation quickly formed a sharp light. The sword edge slashed down in an orderly manner, piercing through the body of the squad leader who couldn't even react in time. He was instantly pierced through and sent flying backward. He smashed heavily into the back cabin wall, blood spurting out.
The leader of the vampires returned to the front of his sword and said coldly to the other squad members who were suddenly alarmed, "My king has ordered that anyone who breaks into the rune energy cabin will be killed without mercy!"
In a short period of time, before Ali even reached them, one person had already died, and it was the captain. The scene suddenly became even more tense. After the other squad members recovered from the shock, they immediately became extremely excited. Looking at the captain who died on the side, they were about to go up and fight the vampires.
"Stop!"
Ali hurriedly shouted from behind the crowd to stop those cold star soldiers. He knew that once they fought, the Cold Star Squad was no match for them. Unless the underground dwarfs cooperated with the fleet weapons and mobilized more squads, they would only be courting death.
But he didn't have the power to control other squads. After suddenly speaking out to temporarily stabilize the situation, someone shouted, "Who are you?"
Ali didn't know how to answer, so he quickly said, "The higher-ups have ordered that no one is allowed to break into the rune energy cabin. Violators will be severely punished."
He had received this order before, and it couldn't be faked. As an important part of the Cold Star Army, the military discipline was still very strict.
"They killed our captain!" Someone said discontentedly, but his voice was much softer than before.
Ali glanced at the floating corpse on the ground, thinking that this person deserved it. After searching a few battleships, he became so arrogant that he did not know who he was. "For Mr. Chu's sake …" So, he was giving Mr. Chu face?
In front of the vampires, wasn't this looking for death?
But at this time, he didn't dare to say that the dead captain's words were inappropriate, so as not to cause an even greater uproar among the other members who were already angry. He only said, "Report to the headquarters and let the higher-ups handle it."
The timid underground dwarf quickly persuaded from the side, "Yes, report it to the higher-ups, we'll write a report."
Those members were just angry for a moment and had some feelings for the captain. Seeing that the captain was killed, they immediately became excited. In fact, they knew in their hearts that they absolutely couldn't beat the vampires.
Some of the quick-witted people immediately thought that this person who interrupted was still smart. If they reported it to the higher-ups, the underground dwarf would add oil and vinegar to the story, and maybe they could mobilize a large force to suppress the vampires. At that time, it wouldn't be too late to take revenge for the captain's death.
Thinking of this, the leaders of the few teams discussed for a while and said a few more words to the underground dwarf. Then, they hurriedly left with the captain's corpse, leaving behind some harsh words before they left.
The well-armored vampire, however, was unmoved. He looked at them coldly as they left. He glanced at Ali in the distance, then turned back and sneered at his people. "You speak so righteously, but it's just Shisha and Zhan Zhan who want to seize power."
He was an old vampire from Earth. He had lived for a long time and had seen this kind of thing many times.
But there were also vampires who said worriedly, "Sir, we just killed their captain, will it …"
The elite vampire said indifferently, "If I don't kill him now, they will become more and more arrogant."
In the end, Ali didn't go over. He didn't understand the conversation of the few vampires, but he felt that things were gradually different from what he had expected.
At first, the order was only to arrest and not to kill. It was said that it was the result of the final agreement between the higher-ups and the Grand Cardinal. But later, the resistance was too serious, and the order was changed to kill those who resisted arrest. Until now, those who did not resist arrest were also sometimes killed.
Thanks to the cooperation of the underground dwarfs, the Coldstar troops carried out their tasks very smoothly. Many people's confidence and exhilaration soared, and they turned a blind eye to some of the lords who had surrendered and killed them on the spot.
Overnight, they seemed to have leapt from the "untouchables" of the fleet to the "rulers". The massacre of the Coldstar and the long-suppressed mentality were vented in the light of the blades.
Moreover, there was another key point, which was that Ali didn't expect at all. Those lords who were usually high and mighty had no dignity at all. Once the soldiers rushed into the cabin door, they were all very timid. Some knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, some made a fool of themselves, and some begged bitterly. At first, the soldiers were all dumbfounded.
Even when Ali rushed into the door of the first lord's house, he was still very anxious and panicked. But who knew that … after a few steps, the soldiers became more and more presumptuous.
But no matter how presumptuous they were, they would lose their heads if they looked down on the vampires. They were not ordinary nobles. Every one of them had been through hundreds of battles. They were Mr. Chu's personal army and held great power …
Arrogantly saying "for Mister Chu's sake" was simply courting death.
Of course, there was also a translation problem. For example, the Coldstar people usually said "Chiwu" instead of "Mr. Chu".
Seeing the toughness of these vampires, Ali didn't think that it was possible for Lao Chi to sneak in. Now that the starship was in chaos, it was better to wait until it calmed down before thinking of a solution.
Lao Chi couldn't just disappear for no reason, right?
Not long after he walked out of this passage, he saw a shadow flash past the cabin door in front of him. He vaguely felt that it was familiar. It seemed to be the missing Wu Dajun, so he immediately followed.
…
In a quiet training cabin on the Coldstar warship.
Ao Mai looked at old Hull in front of him and frowned. "Grandfather, I didn't agree with this from the beginning. You didn't listen to me. That mixed-blood is definitely not on our side."
Old Hull shook his head. "In this situation, what can you do alone? Cardinal Thorn of Evil listens to Kule, and Kule is the mastermind of the last reform attempt. Ever since the First Lord of the Sea Nation went to the three fleets, he has been sighing and feeling that he is inferior to others. He was encouraged by the underground villains and also felt that reform is important. "
When Shi Sha came to persuade him, it wasn't unreasonable. On the contrary, it was very reasonable.
Ever since they encountered the left-rotating coalition army, everyone on the ship felt that they were extremely backward. They couldn't understand other people's warships, weapons, and navigation technology. They were stuck in the coalition army like fools, knowing nothing. Facing the advanced attacks on the battlefield again and again, they didn't even have the chance to be surprised because they didn't know what was going on!
This was very pitiful. It made the underground villains and the Coldstar unable to tolerate the extremely ignorant and backward other races, especially when the five countries occupied the important positions of the fleet. They didn't contribute at all and instead hindered the backward change.
Only by getting rid of these ignorant races who only knew and relied on cardinals could they rise up and fundamentally change the backward situation.
The underground villains had always been at odds with the five countries. They also envied the advanced three fleets and were dissatisfied with the ignorant masters who occupied a lot of resources. The Coldstar had always been suppressed and were at the bottom. They urgently needed to change the situation. The two sides hit it off and had consciously cooperated with each other for a long time.
These were all reasons Shi Sha came to persuade him. They were reasonable and well-founded.
Ao Mai said disdainfully, "Although I'm not good at history, I also know that change can't be achieved in a day. There are many races in the fleet, different backgrounds, different cultures, different beliefs, and different degrees of knowledge. Such an intense action, once it can't be controlled, it will be chaos. The root cause is that the underground villains Zhan Zhan and Shi Sha are trying to use this as a cover to quickly seize power. "
Old Hull comforted him, "I know you've always disliked Shi Sha, but this matter is beneficial to the black-haired man and beneficial to Chiwu. Moreover, you and I can't stop it. This is a continuation of the failure of the last revolution. This failure will happen again. Lord Chiwu has always been very clear about this. "
Ao Mai snorted coldly and said, "What benefits can there be? I heard that someone has begun to catch earthlings who are harboring nobles. There are also people who have begun to attack the runic energy cabin of the vampires! Once Chiwu comes back, the black-haired man will be severely punished. "
Old Hull, however, shook his head. His turbid eyes flashed with a faint light, "So let them make trouble. If they don't make trouble, they won't know what people are thinking. If they don't make trouble, they won't know who can be of great use."
Only then did Ao Mai notice the murderous intent behind Old Hull's eyes. He thought that the ancestor was really loyal to Chiwu. How could the underground villains and Shi Sha know that there was a deep cleansing eye hidden in their cleansing?
Old Hull still looked at him expectantly and said, "The two of them may have the idea of seizing power, but not all of them. I always said that your personality is extreme and not comprehensive. In this regard, you are indeed not as good as Shi Sha.
The Great Deacon has always said that although the contract controls the life of the cardinal, it cannot control the human heart. The human heart is free. I'm old, and I won't live for long. I'm going to die soon. When you don't know what to do in the future, take a look at how Ba Yi does things and learn from him. He's a very smart person. "
Ao Mai nodded and said, "I also admire Brother Ba Yi very much. This time, if it weren't for him fighting with serious injuries, the fleet would have been destroyed. We were all far away on the battlefield at that time, and it was too late to come back. I went to see him yesterday. He was seriously injured again and again. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while."
Old Hull said, "When Lord Chiwu is not here, he has been guarding the flagship. Now he is seriously injured and still unconscious. You have to guard the flagship for him."
Ao Mai nodded. After he came back, he had been listening to Old Hull's words and replacing Ba Yi to guard the flagship.
Old Hull was about to say something at this time, but he heard a servant outside the door hurriedly saying, "Master, the Eldest Miss is sick again."
This was not the first time the Eldest Miss was sick. The two people in the training cabin were not alarmed, but the servant continued to say nervously, "The Eldest Miss disappeared after the attack!"
