Empire, Tianjing Planet.
The supreme Emperor of the Left Sky Star Region had left the lofty Zhaixing Tower today. Instead, he was strolling in the royal palace that was sheltered by green trees. He carried a small green pot in his right hand, and his long black hair with silver strands draped over his shoulders. Like a poet, he walked back and forth in the royal palace. There was a faintly discernible, strange and yet delightful smile on his face.
The tiger that had blocked his path in the West Woods for many years was finally dead. He didn't have the emptiness that a poet would have when an enemy passed away. He only had the satisfaction of drinking good wine.
However, unlike the carnival atmosphere in the building of the military headquarters, the emperor controlled his emotions well. He drank slowly but didn't smile wildly. This was because he had absolute confidence in this transmigration hunting plan.
The subjects of the Empire had spent decades to complete the three important research results. This time, all of them had been invested into the plan to kill Zhong Shouhu. They had even replaced his original plan to capture and kill the Federation's young girls. How could they fail?
However, the Emperor had a somewhat different opinion regarding the source of the information regarding this hunting plan. In his opinion, it would be very difficult for the last 'hero' to achieve this. Perhaps some interesting changes were taking place within the Federation, but such changes were something that the Empire was very happy to see. It was just a pity that the hero with the royal bloodline would soon become a sacrifice.
The palace servants followed behind him from afar. They knew that the emperor was in a good mood, and their faces were full of smiles.
Military Affairs Minister Prince Bo Wu was closer to the emperor. After hearing the cold voice of the emperor, his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.
"Actually, I know that the military headquarters made this plan just to appease my anger and to appease the negative impact of the expeditionary army's destruction on the Empire." The Emperor said mockingly, "Even you, the Minister of Military Affairs, are probably laughing at me in your heart. Laughing at your subordinates for throwing all of the Empire's greatest secrets into petty assassinations instead of exchanging them for the greatest benefits."
"I don't dare." Prince Bo Wu lowered his body in fear.
"It's just the two of us now. Don't say these useless words." The emperor said lightly, "I just want to let other people, or at least you, know why I want to kill Zhong Shouhu."
"Because, I want to force the Federation to attack earlier."
Prince Bai Wu slowly straightened his body and remained silent, but a trace of coldness flashed in his heart.
"The expeditionary army has been wiped out. The warmongering president will definitely try his best to push the Federation to attack the Imperium. It's only a matter of time." The Empire's Emperor said slowly, "And with the resources our Empire possesses, not only is it insufficient to support a full-scale attack against the Federation, it is even extremely difficult to deal with their attacks."
"Attacking when the Federation is not ready is always easier to deal with than when they are ready."
The Emperor looked down at the calm surface of the Returning Pond and said, "Give them all of the Empire's empty borderlands. When the Federation occupies a star system, they have to leave behind troops and resources to defend it. The more star systems the Federation occupies, the thinner the resources and troops will be, and the more difficult it will be. "
"Plus, these people are used to doing shameless things in the name of freedom … Since they have been using this name, they will naturally feel embarrassed to kill too many people. The civilians in Star County need to be managed and fed. If too many people starve to death, that poor president won't look too good."
"The deeper the Federation goes, the more complete their failure will be. Hypocrisy will be their final epitaph."
Prince Bai Wu thought with a trace of shock. Since the end of the war more than ten years ago, the Emperor in front of him had forcefully changed the strategic arrangement of the Empire and strengthened the expeditionary army to put pressure on the Federation. However, he also took back the most elite army from the edge of the space tunnel. It turned out that all of these arrangements had a deeper meaning.
"Today is a very memorable day." The Emperor turned around, looked at Prince Bai Wu, and said lightly, "Let's go to the mausoleum. It's the anniversary of the assassination of my father and teacher. I want to tell them this news that is neither good nor bad."
…
…
The relevant conversation took place in the Federation President's Mansion and the Empire's Palace. The two major forces in the universe were both making large-scale strategic arrangements. The death of that Xilin tiger was admittedly a world-shaking event, and it could also become the opening song of a great era. However, at this moment, people would mourn or celebrate, but they didn't have time to think about vengeance or things to prevent vengeance.
The remnants of the Empire's ghost fleet that carried out the hunting plan had already entered the space tunnel and were about to arrive at the Empire's territory. Under such circumstances, no one, including Emperor Huai Fuchai and Federation President Pabre, would expect that there was a small battleship and a person in the universe who was planning something crazy but exceptionally calm.
…
…
"We don't have the data of the space tunnel of the Night Scorpion Nebula. This data is the top secret information of the Bureau of Proclamation. The upper echelons of the government will definitely not allow you to do such a crazy suicidal action. Naturally, they won't give you the data," Jian Shui 'er looked at Xu Le and said seriously.
"I can't explain too much, but I do." Xu Le lowered his head slightly and said softly, "The Empire was able to successfully attack the Ancient Bell because no one in the Federation thought that they had the ability to send a fleet over. Similarly, no one in that fleet thought that we would go over like a bunch of idiots and carry out a counter-attack."
"The enemy has at least 30 battleships, and we only have one light battleship. No matter how you look at it, this is suicide." Lan Xiaolong, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Boss, I'm not afraid of death. I just feel that it's not worth it to commit suicide like this. If we want to avenge Commander Zhong, we should first live well and then find our revenge on the battlefield."
Xu Le didn't explain too much. He smiled and looked up. "I've come up with a plan. The success rate is very high, at least 30%."
The team members were silent. When did you come up with a plan? However, after a moment of silence, Xiong Linquan's rough voice rang out. "30% … we can try. Then let's do it."
"Let's do it," Gu Xifeng said.
"Do it." Da Vinci's face was slightly pale, but he still gritted his teeth and roared.
Bai Yulan stood quietly at the side and didn't speak. The rest of the team members didn't speak either. However, their body movements showed the attitude of this small group. The most valiant counterattack against the shameless sneak attack of the Imperium was something that every soldier of the Federation was willing to try. In particular, the behavior of the butcher general of the Imperium before he left had already hurt their self-esteem.
How could they allow these people to kill the Federation military's commander and then leave safely?
"Alright." Jian Shui 'er sighed softly. She lifted the black hair beside her ear and tied it into a ponytail. A smile flashed across her beautiful face. "Then let's hurry up and get ready. But I'm very curious. What's the arrangement for the part of your plan to come back?"
"Of course we'll take a ship back." Xu Le's answer was extremely natural and concise. He smiled and said, "Of course, we should first go to the computing room to perfect this plan."
…
…
"Can you go?"
"Of course I can. Unless you want to go to Tianjing and peek at the Empire's princess bathing, I really can't do that. However, I must remind you that I'm basically in a state of hibernation over there. Furthermore … my power is very weak. If you go too far into the Empire's territory, I may lose contact with you at any time. "
"It's fine. I only need to go a short distance, kill that Duke, and come back … if I really want to go deep into the Empire's territory, I'll probably be dead by then."
In the room, the members of Team 7 and Jian Shui 'er were quickly drafting a surprise attack plan on the screen on the table. What they needed the most now was, of course, the data of the spatial channel that Xu Le had promised. However, Xu Le didn't enter the room at this time. Instead, he stood outside the door with his head lowered and spoke to the Federal Central Computer in his mind.
Although he had thought for a long time that since the Federation controlled the spatial channel and had attacked the Empire's territory many times, they must have hidden some means in the Empire's star field, such as a signal interruption station in a state of dead silence, or a certain scale on the antenna of the Charter Network, Xu Le was truly relieved now that he had obtained the personal confirmation of the Charter Network.
"There are indeed many satellite propulsion devices used by the Bureau of Proclamation to set up the network on the ship. The problem is that there's no way to install them on all the mechas. If the surprise attack on the enemy's flagship succeeds, how are we going to return to the ship?"
A tactical expert of Team 7 frowned as he looked at the drafted plan on the screen on the table and said in confusion. Everyone in the room raised their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Le outside the door in confusion.
If it's just one mecha, that's enough, Xu Le said silently in his mind. Then, he ordered the Charter Network to close the door.
After a smooth sound, the high-strength isolation visual door quickly closed, separating Xu Le outside the door and the people inside the door into two different worlds.
The team members in the cabin were stunned for a moment, but they immediately reacted. Expressions of disbelief and panic appeared on their faces as they rushed for the door.
They knew Xu Le's personality, so no one shouted or tried to persuade Xu Le to do something stupid. Instead, they directly tried to open the cabin door. Gu Xifeng quickly opened the workbench and crouched on the ground to connect to the spaceship's system. Her ten somewhat clumsy fingers operated at a speed that had never been seen before. Xiong Linquan even impulsively picked up the heavy Darlin's autocannon beside him, wanting to blast the cabin door open. Fortunately, Lan Xiaolong beside him held him tightly.
Bai Yulan did not move. She only raised her head and glared at Xu Le through the three transparent barriers. She, who was usually submissive, had a dark and angry expression on her face at this moment.
Jian Shui'er stared blankly at Xu Le outside the door. She clenched her fists tightly, and tears silently flowed down her cheeks. The story should not have developed like this. The black-haired her, the brave and skilled member of Team 7, should have set off together with the small-eyed man outside the door and fought together. She should not have just watched him leave alone.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that the Bureau of Proclamation's spaceship's escape pod design would be so interesting."
Xu Le said to the Charter Network. Looking at the actions of the people inside the door, he felt warmth in his heart.
"According to my calculations, your chances of survival are indeed not very high. So, if you want to cry, just cry. Don't tell such unfunny jokes."
Xu Le smiled. He thought to himself that a boring creature like a hero could easily become a dead man, so it was better to leave this kind of opportunity to the bored him. He was still used to fighting alone. That way, even if he died, only one person would die.
Then, he gently patted the cabin door and said goodbye to his companions on the other side of the door. Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of air jets, the three-winged light spaceship's escape pod was released. Those familiar and kind faces slowly faded away.
At this time, the Charter Network reported, "The secret line to the president's residence has been connected."
Xu Le picked up the phone and said, "This is Xu Le. I'm at the entrance to the Night Scorpion Nebula."
"This is Pabre. Please speak." The president's unexpected and quick answer came from the other end of the phone.
"The Empire still has a seed in the Federation. He should be at …" Xu Le gave an address and then continued, "It was the assistant director of the Bureau of Proclamation, Cui Judong, who terminated the purge investigation during the project."
President Pabre was silent for a moment. He was obviously shocked by this news again. Then, he reacted and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Le did not answer and directly hung up the phone. Then, he walked back to the three-winged light spaceship's control room and sat on the central control chair. He said to the air, "Let's go."
"Actually, I can send the data and operation manual of the space channel directly into your brain. Then, you can personally pilot it … You should know that I am strictly forbidden from directly performing physical operations. This is the basic law of the First Charter. Even if you have the first-sequence authority, you can't change it."
"Back in 5460, you directly operated a mecha to send me off. After that, you did the same thing. In fact, you've already violated the First Charter many times. And in my opinion, this has nothing to do with my authority. It's purely because you like this kind of fun."
Xu Le no longer paid any attention to the silent central computer. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the quiet universe outside the porthole. He said, "Sorry to trouble you. I want to go over there."
