Capítulo 1343: Chapter 1039: Interception
The entire command room was eerily quiet; everyone was focused on their own tasks, avoiding any complications.
Bai Li glanced at the people and control equipnt in the command room, showing a trace of shock on her face, and then spoke.
“Lord Nan Qi, why is the fortress still in a superluminal flight state? It’s seriously overdue.”
“It is what it is, none of your business, don’t worry about it.”
Commander Nan Qi reprimanded irritably.
“Yes.”
Bai Li quickly replied.
Nan Qi took a deep breath and said to Chaky, “Since nothing ca out of the interrogation, release everyone, suspend the investigation.”
This statent left everyone present dumbfounded.
“Commander, how can this be? Lord Rogel’s murder is such a big deal. If we don’t investigate thoroughly and find the murderer, how will we explain it to the Lord of Icaroya?”
Chaky said in utter confusion.
“That’s an order. Are you planning to defy ?”
A fierce glint flashed in Nan Qi’s eyes.
“No, I’ll carry it out right away.”
Chaky decisively shut his mouth, knowing that as a deputy commander, he was powerless against Nan Qi.
At this mont, a piercing alarm sounded.
“Warning, superluminal flight device overload.”
“Warning, superluminal flight device overload. Protection chanism will automatically activate in twenty seconds, terminating superluminal flight. Please prepare for impact.”
…
All control officers present looked toward Nan Qi.
They were all waiting for Nan Qi to issue the order to terminate superluminal flight in advance.
Unfortunately, Nan Qi issued no order; he just sat quietly in the command chair.
Soon, the countdown hit zero.
The protection chanism of the superluminal flight device terminated its operation, causing a violent shudder throughout the Black and White Limit Fortress.
Everyone in attendance was sowhat unsteady on their feet.
In the vast starry sky, a ripple spread out, and the Black and White Limit Fortress, along with the Dark Crow Army, erged.
“Report position.”
Nan Qi twisted his neck and asked.
“Reporting, Commander Nan Qi, we are now located in the Chenguang Star Domain, significantly off from the planned route. Should we correct the flight path?”
The operator hesitantly replied.
“Do not correct it. Keep moving forward, and in the anti, monitor everyone. Anyone who dares to leak the location will be executed without rcy.”
Nan Qi said in a deep voice.
“Yes.”
Bai Li quickly replied.
Despite all the redial asures Nan Qi took, his expression remained unchanged.
…
Elsewhere, Su Mo ca out of the interrogation room and returned to his room.
Sun Duoxiang and others quickly approached when they saw Su Mo return.
“Boss, are you alright?”
“Su Mo, they didn’t give you a hard ti, did they?”
Qian Chengxue showed a look of concern on her face.
“I’m fine, they just called over for so questions.”
Su Mo shook his head.
“Boss, what happened? It seems like a lot of people were taken away.”
Sun Duoxiang asked sowhat uneasily.
“Rogel is dead.”
Su Mo briefly explained.
“Oh, so soone died, what’s so strange about that? People die every day. No, wait, who did you say died? Rogel is dead?”
Sun Duoxiang paused, finally realizing.
“No way? Su Mo, what’s going on?”
Qian Chengxue also found it hard to believe that soone from the Royal Order could be murdered. It was simply absurd.
“I don’t know, but I know this is very grave, extrely grave.”
Rogel’s death was like a thunderstorm out of a clear sky, and now no one could predict how furious Star Ring City would beco. But even that wasn’t the worst part; Rogel’s death at this juncture felt to Su Mo like an impending storm.
“The Royal Order of Star Ring City hasn’t experienced a death for many years. Moreover, a death so humiliating makes things even more interesting.”
The Fake Owner, Swallower, said to Su Mo in a low voice.
“This is not the ti for you to take pleasure in others’ misfortune. We followed Star Ring City’s forces because it was supposed to be safer under their protection, but now it seems even the big tree might fall.”
Su Mo was also speechless, feeling utterly unlucky, as if disasters followed him wherever he went.
“What’s there to fear? When disaster strikes, everyone for themselves.”
The Fake Owner, Swallower, replied indifferently.
“Forget it, let’s not discuss this. I just have one question: if you were in my place and tasked with killing Rogel, do you think it would be easy?”
Su Mo asked seriously.
“With your skills, there’s an eighty percent chance you could kill him one-on-one, but it wouldn’t be quiet. Rogel’s combat skills are just slightly inferior to Xia Weiya’s, and you’ve faced Xia Weiya before, right? Killing him silently isn’t realistic.”
“Makes sense. So who could have killed him?”
“If I were to act, no problem at all.”
The Fake Owner, Swallower, responded confidently.
“Nonsense. If you were to reveal your true form, you could battle against V-series chas; if that guy could withstand you, I’d take his na. Wait, are you suggesting that whoever killed him silently isn’t a normal person?”
Su Mo suddenly realized.
“Not entirely dull, prepare yourself; I suspect sothing major is about to happen.”
The Fake Owner, Swallower, calmly replied.

————————————————————-
Chenguang Star Domain.
The Black and White Limit Fortress was advancing quickly with the Dark Crow Fleet.
Inside the fortress command room.
Nan Qi, leaning his face on one hand, sat in the command chair.
Seven hours had passed since the end of superluminal flight, and everything was normal.
As long as he had more ti, once the superluminal flight device cooled down, he could start it again.
Just then, a piercing alarm sounded.
The officer in charge of monitoring suddenly stood up, shock evident in his voice as he reported, “Commander, a web-like space fluctuation has been detected ahead.”
Nan Qi’s eyes narrowed imdiately.
He hadn’t expected that even after changing the route, the opponent would still intercept them. It was obviously a positioning jump.
It seed that soone had leaked the coordinates to the opponent.
In that case, it ant that a high-ranking officer had made a mistake.
After all, in such a tightly controlled situation, only officers of very high rank could achieve that.
….
In the distant starry sky, disturbances appeared, followed by the ergence of nurous fortress structures resembling small dandelions, emitting a glowing light, and very distinct shuttle-shaped ships from the fluctuating space.
Then, overwhelming numbers of jellyfish-like creatures erged.
Following that, a vague seaweed-shaped fortress silhouette appeared, entwined with countless glowing tendrils, appearing very beautiful.
…
Inside the Black and White Limit Fortress command room.
The entire radar scanning device was densely filled with red dots.
“Commander Nan Qi, we’ve detected a large number of Eternal Sleep Clan’s Dandelion Fortresses and Wind Shuttle-class ships, as well as the planet-level Nest Fortress, Gemla. Their forces are twice our number.”
The officer’s voice reporting the situation was trembling.
