The Gu Family of Tian Luo, once a renowned aristocratic family, was now in a precarious situation. As a traditional aristocratic family in Tian Luo Galaxy, they had deep roots in Tian Luo Galaxy. However, they were powerless against the ferocious red-tailed beasts. Over the years, the Gu Family had been on a downward spiral. Gu Shaoze's disappearance had not only caused the Gu Family to lose a talented technician, it was also a huge blow to Gu Qing.
She only had this one brother.
That was not all. Gu Shaoze was the legal heir of the Gu Family. His disappearance had plunged the Gu Family into chaos. Many people with ill intentions who wanted to take over the Gu Family's business jumped out. The lower level employees were in a state of panic. When Gu Qing recovered from her grief, the Gu Family was on the verge of collapse.
All this time, Gu Shaoze did not like management, so the real manager of the Gu Family was his sister, Gu Qing. Without hesitation, Gu Qing mobilized the most direct power of the Gu Family. Not many people knew about this powerful force. They were directly under the command of the head of the family, and were there to deal with situations like this.
Suddenly, the Gu Family was purged, followed by a series of measures by Gu Qing. The Gu Family quickly stabilized. It was the first time the employees of the Gu Family saw the decisiveness and coldness beneath the gentle face of the eldest daughter of the Gu Family.
However, the chaos had greatly damaged the Gu Family. Gu Qing could only grit her teeth and take on the challenge. Who would have thought that just as the Gu Family recovered a little, the red-tailed beasts struck.
The red-tailed beasts struck Tappero Galaxy first, then swept across the entire galaxy in a frenzy. Only a few managed to escape. Most of the people in Tappero Galaxy were killed by the red-tailed beasts. The once prosperous Tappero Galaxy was reduced to ruins in a short period of time. The people in the other four galaxies were terrified. Gu Qing knew then that Tian Luo was no longer a safe place to stay.
However, the speed of the red-tailed beasts' spread was beyond Gu Qing's expectation. They only had time to bring some of the Gu Family's important equipment. They did not even have time to load the ordinary supplies onto the starships.
Not many forces in Tian Luo Galaxy managed to escape, but they did. The Gu Family was not the strongest military force in Tian Luo Galaxy. Many forces stronger than them had perished in Tian Luo Galaxy. Among them, Gu Qing was the most important one.
Gu Qing was a great commander. If it hadn't been for her, the fleet would have been destroyed.
After going through hardships along the way, everyone was sincerely convinced by this young miss. No one would have thought that the Missy, who usually only knew how to manage the group, was actually so good in this aspect. In fact, no one knew that the previous head of the family had wanted to groom her into a person who could help her brother strategize. As a result, what she learned was very complicated.
She used tactical flexibility to make up for the huge difference in individual strength between the two sides. It was because of her excellent command that they had stumbled all the way here. However, they had also paid a huge price. The combat power of the entire fleet was now only one-fifth of what it was when they set off.
But just as they entered Csebesini Galaxy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no one expected to run into the red-tailed beasts here.
Who were these mechs from? Gu Qing stared at the holographic screen. What shocked her was the strength of this team of mechs. Almost any mech in their team could be called an ace in the hole. So far, they had not lost a single mech.
Besides, there were more than 500 of them.
Gu Qing had never heard of any organization with such strength. She was even more curious about where they came from.
Appilok was highly focused. He was probably excited by the performance of the enemy commander. He felt that he was in a good condition today. Throughout the entire battle, his commands were impeccable, and he could be called a textbook example. The red-tailed beasts were obviously unfamiliar with their tactics, and were confused.
After the hard battle a few days ago, they had rested and recovered. Their morale was at its peak. They had managed to carve out a path for the red-tailed beasts. What could these small fries do to them?
The battle ended quickly.
None of the red-tailed beasts escaped. Ye Chong had learned his lesson from his previous encounters. If they did not encounter the red-tailed beasts, they would not be spared. If they did, they would be drowned by the red-tailed beasts.
Gu Qing tried her best to calm herself down. Anyone would react the same way when a 15-kilometer long warship suddenly appeared behind them. She did not know it at all. She felt a chill down her spine.
She stared carefully at the cold young man before her. He must be the captain of the warship.
Ye Chong studied Gu Qing and thought for a moment before asking, "Are you from the Gu Family of Tian Luo?"
Gu Qing was surprised. Could this young man be related to the Gu Family? She composed herself and nodded. "Yes, I am the current head of the Gu Family, Gu Qing. And you are?" Gu Qing had regained her composure. She behaved like the head of the family, and did not look nervous at all.
As expected of the Gu Family of Tian Luo. Ye Chong felt like he had pulled back a long time ago. The image of the pale young man in the pool of blood came alive in his mind.
"Do you know Gu Shaoze?" Ye Chong asked. Gu Shaoze had always been a person Ye Chong admired. The fact that he could build Guardian, a mech that even the He Yue Galaxy coveted, was a testament to his talent.
Gu Qing froze. Her calm expression was gone. Her eyes shone with excitement. She could not help but grab Ye Chong's hand. "You … You know where Shaoze is now?" As he spoke, he was already choking on his emotions.
Ye Chong dodged Gu Qing's hand and said calmly, "You need to calm down."
Gu Qing felt like she had been electrocuted. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip. A few streaks of blood appeared on her lips.
Silence. After a while, she lifted her head, and her expression was calm again. The other members of the Gu family all looked sad. They all knew how close Gu Qing and Gu Shaoze were.
Ye Chong saw that Gu Qing had calmed down, and told her about his encounter with Gu Shaoze. When she heard that Gu Shaoze was not breathing, Gu Qing's eyes flashed with sadness. But right after that, this wisp of sorrow vanished from her eyes, and she recovered her usual calmness.
It was only when she touched the smooth surface of the Guardian mech that the sadness in her eyes returned.
Rui Bing sighed softly and comforted her softly. Gu Qing could not hold it anymore. She hugged Guardian and cried. The rest of the people saw this and left the control room.
With Gu Qing's help, Ye Chong finally had a better understanding of the situation in the Five Galaxies.
The only place that was still safe was the Csebesini Star Field. Csebesini Galaxy was able to defend against the red-tailed beasts because they had built a huge "Xi Ding Defense Line".
When the red-tailed beasts first appeared, the rulers of Csebesini Galaxy began to build the Xi Ding Defense Line.
123 large space fortresses formed the main nodes of this defense line. They were always on high alert, with sufficient strategic reserves. They could support each other, or fight independently. Between the fortresses, there were countless laser firing devices floating in the air. Any enemies who dared to barge in would face a devastating attack.
Compared to the laser cannons Ye Chong used last time, they were using them on a larger scale this time. The defense line, which was built with the power of the entire Star Field, made the Csebesini Star Field impregnable. Until now, not a single red-tailed beast had managed to break through the defense line.
The red-tailed beasts did not have the ability to warp, so they did not have to worry about ambushes. It was said that the defense line was almost completed when they encountered a group of red-tailed beasts. They had no choice but to send mechs to fight. After delaying for three hours and sacrificing nearly a thousand people, the defensive line was finally completed. The first thing the soldiers in the stronghold did after completing their task was to unleash their full firepower.
More than a thousand red-tailed beasts were blasted into pieces. Since then, the Xi Ding Defense Line had become the strongest defense line. It was under its protection that the people of Csebesini Galaxy could live in peace.
As the population of Csebesini Galaxy grew, so did the defense line. The Xi Ding Defense Line now had three layers of defense. The number of fortresses had expanded from 123 to 360. It was almost impossible for the red-tailed beasts to break through the defense line.
Rui Bing heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Csebesini was safe and sound.
Gu Qing wanted to ask for Darkniss's protection. Ye Chong agreed after some thought. In fact, there was no need for him to enter Csebesini Galaxy now. With this defense line, he would not have to worry about the red-tailed beasts invading Csebesini Galaxy for the time being.
He needed to return to He Yue Galaxy as soon as possible and meet up with the Sang Tribe. Then he would open the Gateway to Gray Valley and meet up with Mu and Shang. However, considering that Darkniss also needed supplies, Ye Chong decided to head to Csebesini Galaxy.
Gu Qing was glad that she had made the right decision. They encountered a few more red-tailed beasts along the way, but the mech pilots did not need to do anything.
These mech pilots were too strong! Even the best mech pilots in the Gu Family were no match for them. Besides, their mechs … As the head of the Gu Family, Gu Qing knew the significance and power of these mechs. Besides, how did they manage to hide such a huge starship from the holographic scanning system?
What the hell were these people doing?
She was overjoyed when they agreed to train the mech pilots of the Gu Family for her.
After a few days, the effect was obvious. Although Gu Qing wasn't a fighter, she could still tell that the spirit of her mech pilots was completely different from before.
Gu Qing wished that they could stay on this road for a longer time so that the mech pilots could grow faster. In this era, what could be more reassuring than having a powerful weapon?
"This is the Xi Ding Defense Line."
Gu Qing introduced. She had been very careful on Darkniss these days. While she was the head of the Gu Family, she was not stupid enough to put on airs in front of Ye Chong. Whenever Ye Chong or Rui Bing asked her, she would answer them honestly. She never took the initiative to inquire about anything that happened on the ship, but even so, she was still able to draw a shocking conclusion from the many clues she had.
This was an incomparably powerful army. They had powerful technology, powerful mech pilots, strict discipline, and an excellent commander.
Appilok and Gu Qing communicated most of the time, but most of their discussions were about tactics. Appilok's strong learning ability, rich combat experience, unconventional imagination, and rigorous and pragmatic style were all enough to make him the most outstanding commander. If such an army couldn't be considered powerful, then she really couldn't think of any army that could be.
However, Gu Qing was not fooled by appearances. She knew that the cold young man was the true leader of this warship. In fact, Gu Qing and Rui Bing were close, but they rarely talked about Ye Chong. However, every time they talked about Ye Chong, she could see the admiring eyes of the crew members around her.
He was a mysterious young man.
There was no end to the laser beams floating in the sky, and the majestic stronghold could be seen.
They could warp to Csebesini Galaxy directly, without going through the Xi Ding Defense Line. This was an escape route for all humans, but to prevent pirates, they still stationed a large number of combatants near the warp jump point.
"Oh, there's a big one." The surveillance officer whistled, "It's rare to see luxurious starships these days."
Another officer took a glance at the 15-kilometer long warship on the holographic screen, and said expressionlessly, "Yes, but I think the military will be happy. They always like big things."
"That's true. Such a big thing must be modified into a warship. It'll be great."
Ye Chong ordered for the colloid fungus coating to be removed from the ship's hull.
When they finally entered Csebesini Galaxy, they saw the familiar skyscrapers and mechs flying around in the sky. Everyone in the Gu Family could not help but tear up. It felt like a lifetime ago.
Compared to them, the crew members of Darkniss were much more relaxed. They were mostly curious.
It was hard not to attract attention with such a large fleet.
