Meng Jinhuai's voice was muffled, as if he had mixed all his complicated emotions into this one sentence.
After hearing his words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and hugged Meng Jinhuai back. Although when doing research, Duan Hangye's mind was extremely meticulous. However, it must be admitted that Duan Hengye was often a little careless in his daily life.
Therefore, it wasn't until now that Duan Hengye realized that perhaps Meng Jinhuai wasn't as relaxed as he appeared to be.
It didn't matter how deep Duan Hengye's understanding of mecha was, or how perfect his previous practice was. None of these could change the fact that today was the first time Duan Hengye had participated in a real battle.
In the previous ten minutes, Meng Jinhuai had been observing the situation on the opposite side and directing Duan Hengye's attacks, but more importantly, he was concerned about his safety.
Earlier, Meng Jinhuai had hidden these emotions because he was afraid that they would affect Duan Hengye. Now that the two of them had resolved the problem, he finally said what he wanted to say the most. He was worried about Duan Hengye.
As the God of War and Marshal of the Yetian Empire, Meng Jinhuai grew up on the battlefield. He had seen more death than anyone else, and even his parents had passed away because of war. Before meeting Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai thought that he had already gotten over these things. However, Meng Jinhuai knew very well that there were still things that he couldn't let go of.
Finally, Meng Jinhuai slowly let go of his hand. He smiled at Duan Hengye, then gently rubbed Duan Hengye's shoulder with his palm and said, "Okay … our cooperation today was perfect."
Duan Hengye nodded silently, then finally stood up straight and looked at the captured escape pods. Now, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were separated from the "captives" by a transparent curtain wall. However, after the long hug, none of them looked at their old acquaintances.
Once the escape pod was captured by the mech, it would automatically fix itself in place. Therefore, the people inside the escape pods couldn't come out by themselves, unless Duan Hengye or Meng Jinhuai used their authority to open them. Meng Jinhuai walked to the side of an escape pod, then slowly squatted down and carefully looked at the model number engraved on it.
Logically speaking, Meng Jinhuai only needed to take a look, but this time, he was extra careful. He even reached out his hand and gently touched the escape pod's wall, as if he was repeatedly checking the engraved letters with his fingertips.
Although Meng Jinhuai's actions had nothing to do with them, when he squatted down, the people standing behind him couldn't help but feel nervous. At this time, the entire starship hall became unusually quiet. Everyone could only hear their own heartbeats.
When Meng Jinhuai finally stood up slowly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Meng Jinhuai got up, he turned around and smiled at Duan Hengye. Then, he slowly walked to the front and opened the transparent curtain wall separating the hall.
This curtain wall had a soundproof function. When the transparent curtain wall was completely raised, Meng Jinhuai's footsteps could immediately be heard clearly. His military boots hit the metal floor, producing a series of clear sounds.
Meng Jinhuai walked over.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these guests who came to the Empress Family's banquet and Meng Jinhuai belonged to the category of "upper class members of the Empire". But in fact, as long as one had some understanding of the Yetian Empire, they would know that Meng Jinhuai belonged to two different factions. Therefore, even though they had seen Meng Jinhuai many times at various banquets, except for a few people, not many people here could be considered familiar with Meng Jinhuai.
Therefore, they were instinctively fearful of the Empire's Marshal.
Meng Jinhuai walked over and glanced at the crowd. Meng Jinhuai was smiling at this time, but after seeing him, the people standing in the front row couldn't help but take a step back.
At this time, Duan Hengye, who was standing behind Meng Jinhuai, also slowly walked over. But at this time, everyone's attention was focused on Meng Jinhuai alone, and not many people noticed Duan Hengye's actions.
According to the Empire's etiquette, they should greet Meng Jinhuai now, but in fact, no one dared to speak. Meng Jinhuai was very gentle when he hugged Duan Hengye just now. But now, as he slowly walked over, the familiar aura on his body returned once again.
The person in front of them was Meng Jinhuai, Marshal Meng Jinhuai who just came back from the battlefield.
Meng Jinhuai, who was dressed in black, slowly walked around the crowd and then walked to the corner of the hall. Following his gaze, the rest of the people finally noticed that the Empress had been staying here all this time.
She didn't know when it happened, but the hem of her long dress had been accidentally cut open. Her hair and makeup were messed up, and coupled with the fear in her eyes … In short, probably no one would associate this woman in front of them with the Empire's Empress.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai walking towards her, Empress suddenly turned her head. She faced the metal wall of the starship, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly.
Meng Jinhuai ignored the woman's current emotions. He walked over and stood behind Empress, then suddenly whispered to her. "… The mecha escape pod's code name is' YB-C ', I don't know if Your Highness Empress is familiar with it?"
After this sentence, the woman's trembling back suddenly swayed again. She didn't respond to Meng Jinhuai's words, but when he spoke, she stretched out her hand and tightly grasped the hem of her dress. The fine silk skirt was scratched by her long fingernails. After a while, she finally turned around and took a deep look at Meng Jinhuai's back.
When Meng Jinhuai spoke just now, his voice wasn't loud. Even Duan Hengye, who was standing behind him, couldn't hear what he said to Empress. When Meng Jinhuai came back, Duan Hengye finally couldn't help but ask curiously. Then Meng Jinhuai followed Duan Hengye to the corridor outside the hall, and said to him. "I told her the model of the escape pod is' YB-C '."
YB-C, just like how weapons have their own code names and codes, mechas and escape pods also have their own codes. Duan Hengye knew that this code belonged to the royal family, and he also believed that Empress must also know who the owners of the escape pods were ….
Because the photon computer was confiscated when they were captured, until now, the news of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai working together to defeat the so-called "space pirates" hadn't spread out of this starship.
Now that the danger was over, the starship slowed down. Not long after, the people in charge of receiving the starship from the military arrived at the unmanned interstellar area. Even though the starship's functions weren't damaged, the military still moved all the "captives", as well as the men in black and the escape pods in the starship's cabins, over to the unmanned interstellar area.
The starship that was still in the unmanned area was busy because of the incident just now. Little did they know that outside the starship, the entire Yetian Empire was also in chaos because of this incident …. Or it could be said that the entire empire had fallen into the biggest chaos in recent years.
Before the battle officially began, Duan Hengye used the photon computer on his mecha to hack into the internal system of the starship. This was an extremely simple matter for him, and the purpose of doing so was just to open the hatch of the starship.
But he didn't expect that an unintentional action would succeed.
What Duan Hengye didn't know was that at the same time he hacked into the starship's program, he also cut off the connection between the starship and the mastermind behind it. So the royal family could only intermittently guess what happened in the unmanned area through the combat signals on the mecha.
After all, there were too many accidents today, so the royal family still didn't know what happened here.
So the trouble began.
After discovering the details of the weapons and the escape pods, and guessing the mastermind behind the scenes, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai knew that today's incident was definitely premeditated for a long time. Sure enough, the reality was just as they thought. Before the battle here was over, the interstellar media arranged by the royal family had already sent out the prepared news.
So the entire Yetian Empire and even the entire Interstellar received the wrong message – today's incident was caused by the space pirates wandering in the unmanned interstellar area. Because of the improper security of the Empress family, many important members of the Empire were in danger.
Because the space pirates had already left the country, the Empire couldn't track their whereabouts. But they had already sent people to the Empress family's planet and strengthened the security there.
Such a piece of news completely blew up the calm waters of the entire Empire. At the same time, they also directly pointed the finger at the Empress family.
The royal family's preparations were not lacking. The reason they sent out the news so early was to catch Meng Jinhuai off guard and take over the security of the Empress family before the military headquarters did – in other words, expand the scope of their garrison.
Now that they hadn't received any news from the starship for a long time, the royal family began to panic. At the same time when the garrison was sent to the Empress family's planet, they felt that the situation had changed and began to withdraw a large number of press releases that had already been sent out. They also sent out a "calm down" signal to the outside world.
But at this time, the entire Yetian Empire had already been thrown into chaos because of this incident. The royal family, who made a big mistake, didn't expect that their action of withdrawing the news not only didn't restore peace in the galaxy, but instead added fuel to the fire.
At this time, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai had already returned to the military's starship. Although a battle had just ended and there were still many doubts in his heart that had not been solved, Meng Jinhuai still asked Duan Hengye to change into casual clothes first. After Duan Hengye finished his long-delayed lunch, he returned the optical computer.
Duan Hengye finally saw the galactic news, although the royal family had already begun a large-scale withdrawal. But there were still countless words and pictures left by netizens and continued to spread on a large scale.
To be honest, although Duan Hengye was somewhat mentally prepared, after seeing the overwhelming news, he couldn't help but be greatly shocked. He slowly put down the optical computer, then couldn't help but stretch out his hand to massage his temples – it turned out that today's events were more exciting than he originally thought.
After seeing Duan Hengye's reaction, Meng Jinhuai also put down the optical computer in his hand, then asked Duan Hengye, "What's wrong?" Although the marshal, who was busy piloting the mecha, also just saw the news on the galactic network, looking at him now, Meng Jinhuai's acceptance of this matter was obviously much higher than Duan Hengye's.
After hearing the marshal's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then he recalled and said, "Empress told me at the banquet not to forget my identity." It was clearly something that happened only a few hours ago, but because what happened just now was too exciting, Duan Hengye felt a little distant when he recalled it now.
He continued to say, "Empress told me to think about it carefully, and to continue working with them. When the time comes, not only will the royal family let bygones be bygones, but they will also give me a big gift. " Duan Hengye paused for a moment, then added, "This' big gift 'refers to the real antidote."
After listening to Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai was silent for a moment, then finally opened his mouth to summarize.
He said, "It seems that Zhuo Yan wants to play the 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' trick."
"Empress, you're here to talk about the family planet. Zhuo Yan and Empress should have discussed and decided on this together. But obviously, that woman didn't know that her husband had such a trick up his sleeve. "
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye's palms couldn't help but sweat a little. If he really had no Spirit Power like the original owner, and if Meng Jinhuai couldn't come in time. He would probably be transferred away with the people on the starship, and then completely "disappear" from the universe. And because the person was kidnapped by the space pirates on Empress' family planet, the blame would undoubtedly fall on Empress, who was also unlucky.
Although Duan Hengye didn't have a good impression of Empress at all, after thinking about these things, he couldn't help but sympathize with this woman.
While Duan Hengye was thinking about this, Meng Jinhuai continued, "There are still a lot of abandoned planets in this ungoverned area, I think … the royal family originally planned to transfer all the people there first, then 'rescue' some insignificant people."
"Then control the rest of the people on those abandoned planets." Duan Hengye added in a rather sarcastic tone.
Obviously, if the plan succeeded, Zhuo Yan would use the unfavorable security as a bait to send the garrison troops, whose sphere of influence had been shrinking in recent years, to Empress' family. At the same time, people like himself who had some use would also be kept and controlled for research.
But Duan Hengye wasn't so easy to control. Perhaps the moment the royal family placed their plans on Duan Hengye, this plan was already doomed to fail.
After a while, the military distributed the optical computers confiscated from the nobles on the starship just now. People in the Interstellar Era were inseparable from their optical computers. After taking back their optical computers, the people of the Interstellar Era could not live without optical computers. When they got their optical computers back, they immediately picked them up and posted on the interstellar web that they were safe.
After all, everyone was a reputable figure in the empire. Once the "missing" or "captured" incident spread, it would negatively affect their own businesses.
Therefore, because of these optical computers that were distributed, another inconceivable incident occurred in the already chaotic Yetian Empire. Netizens who were constantly paying attention to the interstellar web saw that in just half a minute, the people who were listed on the "missing list" in the royal family's notice actually appeared on the interstellar web.
Most of these statuses were to say that they were safe. Although because of the urgency of the situation, the statuses weren't long, but they clearly conveyed a unified message to the outside world — — they had just experienced a dangerous kidnapping incident, but because of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, the situation was now smoothly resolved.
It was probably because Duan Hengye's spiritual power wasn't zero, and he was extremely skilled in operating the mecha that these people were shocked. In these statuses of varying length, everyone also mentioned the "Duan Hengye's mecha piloting".
This sentence obviously had an unexpected effect. Because the fact that Duan Hengye didn't have spiritual power was too deeply ingrained in people's minds. Therefore, after seeing these statuses, many people actually had this suspicion — — was this content sent by the galactic pirates to confuse everyone? Otherwise, how could they have made such a unified mistake?
Probably in the entire galaxy, the only people who took these statuses seriously at first glance were the royal family.
After seeing the news of safety continuously appearing on the interstellar web, Emperor Zhuo Yan, who was standing alone on the sofa in the study room, finally slowly sat down. Although the people from the military hadn't returned yet, the outcome had already been decided.
Zhuo Yan knew that he was finished.
Quickly turning off the lively and somewhat dazzling information on the screen, Zhuo Yan buried his face in his palms. He took a deep breath, then raised his head with bloodshot eyes.
At this time, Zhuo Yan's screen was still automatically refreshing. He saw a familiar face on the screen — — Duan Hengye. This was a "thank you" letter sent by a noble who was just rescued. The attached picture was a picture of Duan Hengye that he just found on the interstellar web.
This picture was very common. Duan Hengye was used on the official website of Amro University and the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute. In the picture, Duan Hengye quietly looked at the camera. There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes. This person was perfect and cold, as if it was drawn by AI.
Even though Zhuo Yan didn't know how many times he had seen this picture, but now, after seeing it again, he actually had the illusion that the person in the picture was mocking him. He suddenly stood up from the sofa and threw a punch at the screen.
"… Duan Hengye." Zhuo Yan gnashed his teeth and said the person's name.
Unfortunately, the screen couldn't be broken. After a brief distortion, the picture returned to the original picture. After seeing it, Zhuo Yan finally slowly slid back to the sofa. He kept muttering, "It's over … It's really over …"
After reporting his safety through his personal account, the people who just walked out of danger finally began to look up the news on the interstellar web. They thought that since it hadn't been long since the incident happened, there might not be many detailed reports on the interstellar web. However, after seeing the results of the search, everyone was dumbfounded.
It was completely different from what they expected. Not only did the interstellar web have the complete story and ending of the incident, but the story and ending were completely different from what they expected …
What exactly happened in the Yetian Empire?
The "captives" who were involved in the incident were confused. The netizens who have been following this news were also extremely confused.
After the status updates were sent out one after another, the Yetian Empire's military also confirmed what those people said on their official account.
— — Meng Jinhuai piloted a mecha to the interstellar unmanned area alone and worked together with Duan Hengye to capture all the "space pirates" in escape pods.
In that case, the news just now wasn't made up by the space pirates. Duan Hengye really has mental power and can pilot a mecha?
This time, the discussion on the interstellar web completely deviated in another direction — — that is, Duan Hengye's mental power and his cooperation with Meng Jinhuai to capture the space pirates in escape pods.
At the same time, the Nan zhuxing starship carrying the people involved in the incident finally flew out of the dark interstellar unmanned area. Through the window, people saw a few lit up planets not far away. For people who lived in the interstellar era, this was just a normal scene in their lives, but when they saw it, many people felt like it was a lifetime ago.
Considering that these people lived on different planets, after returning to the Yetian Empire's territory, the Nan zhuxing starship contacted a nearby large planet. At that time, the starship would stop here for an hour to transfer the rescued people back to the starship where they lived.
A few minutes later, this news spread throughout the galaxy. The netizens who had been following this incident finally felt relieved. The residents of the destination planet went completely crazy. Because the population density of the planet was extremely high, there were several large cities not far away from the starship docking area that the military contacted.
Although a certain no-fly zone was set next to it, when the starship was about to land, Duan Hengye saw a dense crowd in the air around the docking area.
Obviously, everyone was here for them.
