On the capital planet, below the atmosphere and above the crust, it was an iron nest where almost a hundred billion people lived.
Faced with the overwhelming fleet that filled the entire space, naturally, most of the residents in the capital had the fear of doomsday.
However, in the competition between the interstellar warships, the Colossi, and the Immortal Cultivators, the ordinary people who lived on the surface of the planet did not have the right to express their opinions at all. Suppressed by the crazed reformists and the Imperial Guards, basic order was still maintained on the capital planet after a month of fierce battles.
In the central government district close to the royal palace, the most extreme, determined, and zealous reformists were gathered, as well as a small number of "royalists" who knew the inside story and therefore trusted Blackstar the Great unwaveringly.
Faced with the arrival of the ace fleets of the four families, they were instead filled with the courage to die together with the enemy. The whole royal palace was enshrouded in the lifeless fighting will, as if it were enshrouded in a black fog that seemed to be concrete.
"Your Grace —"
Deep inside the royal palace, two Imperial Guards supported a haggard, wounded officer of the Thunder Fleet to Li Linghai, whose hair was as white as a waterfall. They reported, "The three boats that jumped to the capital at the risk of their lives were blocked by the hunting fleets of the four families. One of the boats was blown up on the spot, and the other two crashed to the capital planet after losing power and shields.
"When they entered the atmosphere, the angle was too steep, and their speed was too fast. They were seriously torn apart and attacked. One of the vehicles probably disintegrated directly in the atmosphere and fell into the Silver Moon Ocean. We found part of the wreckage and confirmed that the damage was very serious. It was almost impossible for the crew inside to survive.
"The other boat, although riddled with holes and seriously twisted and torn apart, still maintains the basic structure. The 'red box' where the storage chips were stored has been found, and the captain has been rescued.
"The data of the storage chips are being analyzed and read. This is the captain. He has requested to meet Your Grace under General Lei Chenghu's secret order!"
Li Linghai was deeply dwelling on the throne in the shape of a starship. He was soaked in the darkness where light and shadow were all that was visible, revealing only a few strands of white hair and a pair of eyes that were almost transparent.
It was not until this moment that she finally craned her head out of the darkness. She glanced at the haggard captain with her eyes that seemed to be able to see through his soul, before she said in a hollow and unpredictable voice, "What's the situation in the Seven Seas Space Zone? Do you have anything to say to me, Marquis Liaohai?"
"Your Grace, we have made breakthroughs in the battle of Seven Seas. Our army has crushed Yun Xuefeng's battle formation and even captured 'Landslide', his flagship. As for the man himself, he has vanished into space. It has not been confirmed whether he was killed or escaped."
The haggard officer coughed softly and said, "But the coalition fleet of the four families did not give up resistance. The remaining forces were gathered under the call of Song Yushi, the old general of the Song family, and they were still dealing with our army.
"The specific situation and data of the battle have been stored in the chip. After the analysis is done, Your Grace will know it after you read it.
"As for Commander Lei's secret order, he hopes to explain it to Your Grace in person. Therefore, he wants to ask Your Grace to activate the 'Heaven' -level communication line of the highest secret level."
"He is going to use the 'Heaven' -level communication line?"
Li Linghai raised his eyebrows that were as sharp as needles. "So to speak, Marquis Liaohai does have important military intelligence that he wants to discuss with me?"
The real-time communication between the capital and the Seven Seas Space Zone depended entirely on the communication starships and the mobile secret communication bases. Such a way of wirelessly transmitting information and data could be hacked, monitored, or even tampered with by the enemy.
It was possible that the moment Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu started the real-time communication, their every word would be heard by the ace fleet commanders of the four families. How could the war be fought then?
Therefore, the communication starships and the secret communication bases had all been installed with the most cutting-edge anti-interference and anti-intrusion units. According to their level and performance, they were divided into four levels, namely 'Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow'. Naturally, the higher the level, the less likely it would be to be hacked and eavesdropped, and the more valuable it would be.
Among them, there was only one secret communication base left that had a security factor of the 'Heaven' level. Once it was activated and sent tremendous information to the two Sectors incessantly, it would certainly be discovered by the hunting fleets of the four families and destroyed within an hour.
Lei Chenghu wanted to get a real-time communication with her at the cost of losing the last 'Heaven' -level communication line. What was he trying to say exactly?
Li Linghai sank into the darkness again. Scratching his eyebrows softly with his fingertips, he pondered for a long time and eventually decided to fulfill Lei Chenghu's request.
After all, Lei Chenghu was still the toughest general of the reformists at this moment. A lot of his admirers were even in the Imperial Guards. His prestige had almost penetrated into the bones of all the soldiers of the Imperium.
The battle of Seven Seas had reached the most critical moment. Lei Chenghu must have his reasons to get a real-time communication with the capital at such a great price.
Besides, as long as he is delayed for a few more days, everything will be settled. Nothing can stop his cause that will last for thousands of years! "
…
An hour later, deep inside the royal palace, in an extremely secret command center that was independent of the joint command center of the Imperial Guards and the Thunder Fleet on the ground.
Li Linghai floated three feet from the ground and stared at the arrays of super crystal processors that were as magnificent as mountains in front of him coldly.
The super crystal processors spurted out glittering mists that condensed into a light beam that was both real and illusionary, as if he were in the real place and even more delicate than the Grand Illusionary Land.
She seemed to have crossed the bridge of time and space and appeared on the bridge of "Iron Torrent", the flagship of the Thunder Fleet, communicating with Lei Chenghu face to face.
No, it was not her. Her long hair and her eyes had turned abyss-like black, and there was gloomy dominance on her face. She seemed to be surrounded by a few raging purple dragons with black scales. It was exactly Blackstar the Great who was controlling the body.
Somewhere in the vast space at the edge of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, a secret communication base that was as cold as a dormant volcano was suddenly woken up. Releasing waves of a special frequency, it split the barrier of the three-dimensional universe and connected the data from the two worlds that were as vast as an ocean.
In front of Wuying Qi, colorful swirls wriggled and condensed into a rainbow gate. Lei Chenghu's body that looked like an iron statue appeared clearly from the rainbow gate.
"Your Majesty."
Lei Chenghu bowed deeply at Wuying Qi, with admiration and zealotry all over his face.
"There's no need for formalities, Marquis Liaohai. Time is precious. Let's get to the point!"
Wuying Qi said gloomily, "We only have the last 'Heaven' -level communication line left, and the secret communication base that supports the real-time communication line can survive no more than forty minutes on average in the past. It means that our communication will be cut off by the enemy any moment after twenty to thirty minutes.
"I've carefully read the battlefield data that you sent over through the boats in the past few days. It's only a matter of time before Yun Xuefeng's defeat and death, and Song Yushi, the old fox, has been dawdling at the edge of the space zone and still maintains some combat ability at this moment. It's within our expectations. I believe that you will not activate the most precious communication line just for Yun Xuefeng and Song Yushi.
"So, did something unexpected happen in the Seven Seas Space Zone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lei Chenghu said, "To be more exact, it's not something unexpected, but someone unexpected — this guy."
Lei Chenghu waved his hands, and a tiny holographic window was immediately opened next to the two of them. Inside the window, three Colossi, countless Crystal Suit, and crystal tanks shot thousands of arrows at the same time and blew up an armed shuttle.
Right when the space shuttle exploded, a lively shadow dashed out of it and shouted in the sharpest voice, "Commander Lei, what are you doing exactly? We value heroes and appreciate each other. We are the same kind of people. We can seek common ground and create a better future hand in hand!
"Don't be so rigid. You should at least check it out. There's a scheme in the capital. A great scheme!
"You — You idiot whose head is flooded with water. You still don't believe me after I've talked so hard? You will regret it. You will definitely regret it! Ahhhhhhh! "
This guy was like a burning turkey, jumping up and down in the rain of bullets, covering his head and fleeing like a rat.
"Ahhhh …"
Seeing that, Wuying Qi narrowed his eyes, pinched his nose, and sighed softly. "Li Yao, the Cultivator who always shows up in the wrong place at the wrong time and does nothing good but cause trouble for other people has indeed shown up again. However, how did you surround him? The place where you fought seemed to be the hangar of Iron Torrent. Is he dead or alive right now? What did he say to you? "
"It was indeed the Cultivator Li Yao that Your Majesty reminded me of earlier, and it was indeed the hangar of Iron Torrent. However, it was not me who surrounded him but him who came to me voluntarily."
Expressionlessly, Lei Chenghu said, "He came to my flagship on his own with only Marquess Yongchun Li Wuji as a disguise, hoping to instigate disharmony between me and Your Majesty and even instigate me to join his side to deal with Your Majesty together with him.
"I was not a three-year-old kid. How could I be fooled by him? I simply pretended to agree and pacified him. Then, I concentrated the firepower of three Colossi and an entire marine team, trying to annihilate him.
