According to some sources, this "Vulture Li Yao" was the strongest "secret weapon" of the Imperium who had been fighting arduous battles against the super experts of the Alliance of the Holy Covenant in the darkest, most desolate space zone in the frontline.
According to some sources, this "Vulture Li Yao" was an expert in the royal palace who had protected His Majesty dutifully for almost ten generations. He had even been following His Majesty since Blackstar the Great's era. Therefore, he was one of the first-generation Immortal Cultivators.
This time, His Majesty couldn't hold back any longer and sent him to protect the generals, veterans, members of the royal family, and the public who were weeping.
All kinds of news were vivid and vivid, as if someone had really seen this "Vulture Li Yao" dominating the Gold Vulture in the frontline or in the royal palace.
Encouraged by the news and instigated by some people, countless people had already raised their hands at the Gold Vulture and shouted, "A Colossus! His Majesty has sent a Colossus to protect us! His Majesty is on our side! Long live His Majesty! Long live the Imperium!"
Zhao Zhenwu was dumbfounded and grew suspicious. He had been through the Imperium's counterattack in person for more than ten years, but he had never heard of any "Gold Vulture" or "Vulture Li Yao" before.
However, getting to the point, the Imperium's counterattack involved four battle zones, dozens of Sectors, and hundreds of resource planets. The frontline spanned millions of lightyears and far exceeded the observation limits of an individual. Nobody dared claim that they knew every war in every space zone.
Therefore, if he was really a secret warrior on the black frontline in the depths of the universe, it was not strange that he had never heard of the name.
At the very least, one thing was certain. Judging from the destructive golden flames of spiritual energy, both the Colossus and Vulture Li Yao who was using the Colossus were unbelievably strong. They were indeed qualified to be called "one of the top-tier experts of the Imperium"!
A top-tier battle-type Immortal Cultivator who was using a Colossus that was extravagant from any perspective couldn't have just crawled out of the ground, could he?
So, it might really be a secret weapon of the Imperial Army, or an expert from the Imperial Palace who had been protecting His Majesty for generations!
Zhao Zhenwu stole a glance at Chu Tianhe, only to discover that Chu Tianhe was staring at the gold Colossus in midair with widened eyes, somewhat surprised too.
However, the general commander calmed down a moment later and said to Zhao Zhenwu in a low voice, "Brother Zhenwu, do you believe me now? It is very likely that we will win the bet. If we go all out and win, we will have everything we have lost back!"
Zhao Zhenwu thought of something. The flames of desire burning inside his eyes couldn't have been more intense, and he clenched his fists of iron and flesh.
Chu Tianhe was right. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to consider whether or not he was being used by others. Having value to be used by others was better than having no value to be used at all!
There was no need to care where the Colossus came from. After all, the Colossus was on their side. As long as they made a name for themselves, everything … and their wives … would be back!
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Empire!"
Zhao Zhenwu waved his arms at the Gold Vulture in midair and roared desperately, too.
The roars of thousands of generals, veterans, members of the royal family, and the public seemed to have been condensed into the purest fuel that was injected into the Gold Vulture incessantly, making the most glamorous Colossus release the most glamorous gold waves again.
In earsplitting explosions in midair, it lunged at the Dongfang family's fleet deployed to the east side of the Emperor's Mausoleum in a streak of brilliance on its own!
A distance of dozens of kilometers was nothing more than a breath for the Colossus.
The millions of people below the ground were dazzled, and the Gold Vulture was already standing in front of the Dongfang family's fleet majestically. The gold saber slashed the waves and unleashed a magnificent aura that was more than ten kilometers long, turning into a golden wall that blocked the Dongfang family's fleet from moving forward.
"Ahhh!"
It was a competition between a Colossus and a fleet in the Emperor's Mausoleum!
It was the first time that the millions of people had seen such a thrilling and magnificent scene in their lives. They couldn't help but exclaim aloud.
The Dongfang family's fleet immediately fell into chaos.
The troops that had come to the Emperor's Mausoleum to suppress the situation were all equipped with low-altitude assault warships to deal with ground targets. They were not required to compete with the Colossi in the first place.
Besides, the most important thing for the starships to compete with the Colossi was to increase the distance between the starships and the Colossi, at least hundreds of kilometers away. Then, they would form a crossfire net and block and kill the Colossi with incessant firepower.
Right now, the two parties were less than one kilometer away from each other. For the Colossi, it would only take 0.1 seconds to march into the middle of them and even crawl into their starships for sabotage. Also, their starships were so close to each other that the Colossi could even sprint from the abdomen of one starship to the inside of another!
All in all, they were not in a battle formation to resist a Colossus at all. Against a Colossus of the highest level with such a battle formation, no matter how gory the price was, it would barely achieve a good result.
The arrival of Li Yao with the Gold Vulture threw them into chaos and forced them to retreat hundreds of kilometers to reestablish their battle formation.
Also, Prime Minister Dongfang Wang forbade them from opening fire. At first glance, it seemed that Li Yao had pushed back the entire fleet of the Dongfang family on his own!
Waterfall-Like cheers and thunderous applause burst out inside and outside the Emperor's Mausoleum. Everybody was applauding Li Yao's "valiant performance".
Even the outdated starships of the Imperial Guards that were riddled with holes and rust were firing salutes for Li Yao, expressing their utmost respect for the "loyal Immortal Cultivator and the most loyal follower of Blackstar the Great"!
…
Inside the Gold Vulture, Li Yao's eyes were brimming with tears, and his heart was pounding.
The mental devil: "Are you serious? You are not crying because of them, are you?"
Li Yao: "Of course not. I am moved by myself! A long time ago, I said that I had a dream to arrive at the capital of the Imperium of True Human Beings majestically with the most powerful Colossus one day, where I would be dominating and dominating this place!
"I didn't expect that my dream would come true after my unremitting efforts and determined struggles. I can even pee and poop on the head of Blackstar the Great's statue. Let's call it 'justice always wins'. It's not easy at all. Wuwuwuwu!"
The mental devil: "… Then, do you know what my greatest dream is right now?"
Li Yao: "What is it?"
The mental devil: "I really hope that the enormous statue in front of us will break apart, and Blackstar the Great's mausoleum down below will explode too. Then, Blackstar the Great will crawl out of his coffin and slap the shameless guy like you to death!"
Li Yao: "Well, however shameless I am, I can't be as shameless as the next one, can I?"
The mental devil: "Well … that does make sense."
…
Li Yao pushed back the Dongfang Fleet with the Gold Vulture and returned to the top of the Emperor's Mausoleum right before the statue of Blackstar the Great.
Holding the saber in his right hand, he opened his left hand, but there was a vague shadow standing at the center of his palm.
The Gold Vulture slowly landed.
The center of the Emperor's Mausoleum was empty. The generals and the veterans had already cleared a place for Li Yao to stand on.
Li Yao stretched out his left hand and raised the person in his palm high.
After special modifications, the Gold Vulture shot out a super enormous light beam thousands of square meters to the sky from the shoulder and the back, displaying the image of the person in his palm clearly in the sky.
It was a woman who was elegant, haggard, and dressed plainly without the slightest decoration.
He gazed at the millions of people below with eyes that bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind.
It took a long time for the generals, soldiers, members of the royal family, and the public to recognize who she was. They exclaimed in disbelief, "Your Grace!"
"Your Grace has risked her life to support us in the Emperor's Mausoleum!"
"Your Grace is here on behalf of His Majesty. She is on our side!"
Their voices congregated into torrents that flooded the Emperor's Mausoleum and the heart of every mourner.
"Generals, warriors, and citizens, I'm sorry. I … I — I'm late!"
Li Linghai was so emotional that she was about to cry before she finished half of her sentence. She did not even have the time to care about the etiquette of the court. "After learning that everybody has gathered here spontaneously to pay homage to the previous emperors, I came to the Emperor's Mausoleum as quickly as possible. I learned a lot of things on my way, but the more I listened, the more scared and indignant I felt.
"I did not expect that the valiant warriors who fought bloody battles in the frontline to defend His Majesty would suffer such misfortune after they returned to the rear. They would even die without a sound!
"This — this is shaking the foundation of the country. This is chilling to the public. This is the foundation of the Imperium of True Human Beings and the entire civilization of mankind!"
Not expecting the queen's attitude to be so tough, many soldiers, members of the royal family, and the public were dumbfounded.
Many people knew that the emperor and the queen of the Imperium were puppets who could not control their own lives. They could not help but sweat hard after hearing Li Linghai's bold words.
"His Majesty and I are deeply sympathetic and dissatisfied with the suffering of the people and the grievances of the soldiers."
Li Linghai seemed to have summoned all her courage before she said, "However, in many cases, His Majesty and I are unable to do anything. We — we are truly sorry for everybody, for our ancestors buried here, and for Blackstar the Great!"
She was already choking with sobs as she spoke.
Everybody was sobbing because of her instigation, too. The tears that flowed out were like boiling oil, making the fire of fury burn more and more fiercely.
"I've been living in the royal palace all year round, and I know nothing about the affairs of the country. I don't know how to resolve the issue properly, either. I believe that Prime Minister Dongfang Wang can certainly come up with a solution, right?"
