Elton stared intently at Li Yu, but the smile on the other's face made a chill rise from his spine, which then swept through his entire body.
"You can't keep it hidden forever!" Elton couldn't accept the fear rising in his heart and shouted sternly, "You can't do this flawlessly!"
This matter involved too many people and factions, including several Nobles of the Star Glory Empire. Soone would eventually find sothing amiss.
Elton wasn't wrong. In fact, Li Yu's plan currently had a very clear loophole: Dark Star, who left alive.
He knew the truth and understood exactly what happened on Ordos Pri.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any substantial evidence. By choosing to commit suicide and respawn elsewhere, he was destined to be unable to take anything with him.
Moreover, he was a mber of the Star Glory Empire, and everyone knew there was enmity between him and Li Yu. As for what he said... at least Return Star wouldn't believe it.
Li Yu never thought about doing it flawlessly. He didn't care about Elton's words, chuckled twice, and said, "I just want to delay enough ti, wait until..."
He paused and didn't explain in detail, instead speaking Ambiguously, "...at that ti, it won't matter even if I'm discovered."
Elton let out an angry roar. Li Yu casually tossed a tal Sealing Device in, making him unable to speak anymore.
Li Yu didn't plan to kill Elton; he still had other uses.
As the Commander of the Guixing teorite Fleet, and also an A-Tier Lifeform, his Status was extraordinary.
"Master, that Spaceship has landed..." Claptrap's voice sounded at the right ti, "Your captain of the Guard Corps has also arrived. According to your instructions, I haven't let him co into contact with the other Close Guard mbers."
The ones who knew part of the truth also included Daniel—his captain of the Guard Corps. The other Close Guard mbers had been sent out of the city by Li Yu when the attack began, so they didn't know the truth of the matter.
Only this Daniel returned alone to the battlefield to look for his whereabouts, attempting to take him away, and thus witnessed him going on a killing spree.
It's just that he didn't know about suppressing Elton later, because it was too far away from Daniel's location at the ti.
This kid had paved a wide road for himself, so Li Yu didn't plan to kill him, nor did he want to twist his thoughts. He had other ideas.
"Commander Elton, ti to go..." Li Yu glanced at Elton. The surface of the special tal Cage began to seal off, alloy plates crossing over each other, and darkness gradually enveloped Elton, cutting off external light and sound.
In the silent, confined space, Elton's heart fell into the Abyss. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. He needed to survive...
Only by surviving... could he take revenge!
Flas spewed from the four corners of the tal Cage, suspending and taking flight, following behind Li Yu out of this battleship.
In the center of the teorite Fleet, a pitch-black Spaceship hovered there. The surrounding battleships aid their Main Cannons at this Spaceship.
Inside the Spaceship, a large number of Staff mbers fell into unknown panic. The crimson text on the screen flashed continuously—Operation Prohibited!
"Kuhl... what exactly is going on!? Why did the Spaceship land here on its own?" soone roared in a low voice. Through the porthole, they could clearly see those teorite battleships.
He knew clearly that the teorite Fleet... were all enemies.
"I don't know either..." Kuhl sweated profusely, his sixteen fingers flying rapidly across the console, but it was useless. "Soone left a backdoor in our System."
"But... recently we've only been in contact with Lord Dark Star."
They were Dark Star's Logistics Team. While contacting Dark Star... Li Yu left a backdoor, forcibly controlling their Spaceship to land.
Hum—
The Spaceship's Blast Door opened on its own. There weren't many combatants in this Spaceship; they were basically all logistics personnel.
Looking at the teorite Soldiers filing in with terrified expressions, they could only kneel on the ground to show surrender.
Imdiately after, those teorite Soldiers cleared a path, as if waiting for so big shot to arrive.
The Staff mbers kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look towards the cabin door. They knew... the arriving person was the big shot who could control their life and death.
The light at the cabin door was blocked, and Li Yu walked straight in, glancing at the researchers on the ground without caring too much.
"It's actually him?" Kuhl's heart shook violently. He recognized this person. He had studied Dark Star's life, so he naturally knew about the recently widely discussed "Xinhe Virus Origin."
The identifier was the guy right in front of him. He didn't expect this person's Status in Return Star to be so high.
Kuhl pondered for a mont, and under the suppression of the teorite Soldiers, he spoke up: "We are logistics researchers, not combatants. We demand to be treated according to the 'Interstellar War Convention – Treatnt of Non-Combatant Prisoners of War'."
"What the hell is that?" Li Yu was sowhat confused, only understanding after Claptrap's explanation.
In an Interstellar War, the treatnt of various prisoners of war is different.
Main combat soldiers are the most dangerous, and their treatnt is the worst. They can even be secretly killed for military rit.
However, researchers with so value can demand various prices from the captors to ransom the prisoners.
Simply killing prisoners isn't worth much.
As for the Officer Rank, they are even more precious. Catching a big fish like Max is extrely rare.
"I forgot to tell you, you are not prisoners, we are all one family," Li Yu chuckled.
Kuhl was still a little confused when he heard Li Yu order, "Drag all of them for a walk in front of the charged Energy Cannons."
Kuhl's pupils contracted, his hands and feet turned cold, and he couldn't help but roar, "You can't treat us like this! Return Star signed the 'Interstellar War Convention'!"
The angry roar gradually faded away. Li Yu pondered to himself, now he even had prisoners, the plan was even more perfect, as expected of ... silently giving himself a thumbs up.
He had Claptrap completely format this Spaceship, removing all tracking devices. About a thousand teorite Soldiers began to take over, placing Elton in the Warehouse.
When everything was just about ready, Daniel finally arrived under the escort of the teorite Soldiers.
Even though the battle had been over for a day, he was still a bit dazed. The scene of Li Yu blocking in front of him occasionally floated in his mind.
While constantly blaming himself inwardly, he couldn't help but feel boundless reverence.
According to official records, Your Excellency Li Yu isn't much older than , yet he can already fight A-Tier Lifeforms head-on, and even annihilate them...
And I, as the captain of the Guard Corps, actually needed Your Excellency Li Yu's protection...
Such thoughts had been lingering in his mind.
"Lord, Daniel has arrived." The voice of the teorite Soldier awakened Daniel from his wild thoughts, making him involuntarily raise his head.
Li Yu had his back turned to him, looking at several screens suspended in the center of the cabin. His tall and straight posture was just like when he blocked in front of him, making Daniel's breathing pause slightly.
"You're here." Li Yu turned around, his tone gentle. This was their first eting since the battle. Li Yu had been busy dealing with various matters before.
"..." Daniel's lips trembled, his eye sockets slightly red, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
Choosing to be Li Yu's captain of the Guard Corps wasn't a spur-of-the-mont decision.
Even though his colonel father told him that going to Ordos would be very dangerous, practically hinting that it was a one-way trip.
But he still ca without hesitation, because Li Yu had also stood up to protect the Citizens of Vitel when facing two unbeatable A-Tier Lifeforms.
Now... he was incredibly glad he ca. From the mont Li Yu took that axe for him, he had already decided to pledge his life to follow Your Excellency Li Yu!
Li Yu found Daniel, who seed about to burst into tears, sowhat baffling. He originally wanted to pat his shoulder.
But thinking about the scene—Daniel sobbing quietly while he patted his shoulder, seeming like a consolation...
Quite awkward, so he abandoned the idea.
He coughed dryly and said in a deep voice, "Have you rested enough? I have a secret mission for you."
Daniel, who was about to burst into tears, imdiately reigned in his emotions and answered loudly, "Always ready!"
"Very good..." Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, pretending to sigh deeply and said, "I need you to execute a mission, code na—Wanderer."
"In the Warehouse of this Spaceship, an important criminal is imprisoned. It concerns the safety of Return Star, but we cannot bring him back to Return Star right now."
"You are my most trusted person. I need you to assist these soldiers in keeping close guard... This mission requires a very long ti. During this period... you must conceal your na and identity, and not let anyone discover you. Can you accept this?"
Li Yu looked at Daniel with expectant eyes. How could the hot-blooded Daniel withstand this kind of stimulation? First "concerns the safety of Return Star," then "most trusted person."
Daniel's face instantly flushed red, and he answered with full energy, "I accept!"
Li Yu nodded solemnly. For a mont, Daniel felt the Atmosphere here was incredibly sacred.
In reality... Daniel was just a small fry. It wouldn't take long to deal with him. Casually finding a place to bury him or twisting his thoughts were all matters of a passing thought.
But the problem was, who asked this guy to pave a wide road for himself? Li Yu didn't mind spending a bit more ti to properly deal with this lovable young man.
Under the witness of several teorite deputy commanders, Daniel accepted this sacred mission.
Li Yu wasn't worried that Daniel would discover Elton; the thousands of teorite Soldiers and Claptrap would ensure that.
Under solemn and reverent gazes, the brand new Wanderer entered Optical Invisibility, slowly lifted off, left the Atmosphere, and entered the Universe.
According to the flight plan, the Wanderer would stay far away from Return Star and the Star Glory Empire. During this process, it would maintain contact with Li Yu the entire ti.
After sending off Elton and Daniel, Li Yu figured there were no omissions, so he turned off the network jamr and had the several deputy commanders of the teorite Fleet report the battle situation to Return Star.
The main purpose was to find out how long it would take for Return Star's people to arrive at the Ordos System.
Li Yu didn't know how Gui Xing High Command reacted to this battle report, but he clearly learned that the Sixth Patrol Fleet would arrive in Ordos in two days.
He had Claptrap scan the entire Ordos Internal network to avoid the appearance of battle Recordings that shouldn't appear.
Another day passed. Li Yu arrived at the Star Glory Empire Exploration Vessel. The [Apostle] was suspended beneath the Exploration Vessel.
Compared to Daniel, he wasn't so rciful to this Empire Exploration Vessel.
The simplest way to deal with it was to have it fly directly into the Void Cosmic Belt, and after reaching a sufficient distance, self-destruct without a trace.
But before that, he needed to deal with the [Apostle]. How on earth was he supposed to carry this behemoth? This question had been troubling Li Yu a day ago.
But a day later, it was no longer a problem at all.
[Obtained Special Item – Iron Man's Suitcase: No one knows if the suitcase contains docunts or iron armor.
Select an item marked by the Host and fold it into the form of a suitcase.]
The reward from the lovable Second Clone arrived as The Tily Rain for Li Yu.
The mission issued by Hydra hadn't been completed yet. He just happened to encounter Iron Man again, letting him fleece another wave and solving one of his current troubles.
Li Yu crushed the crimson Briefcase token. A baffling power enveloped the massive white egg, and space gradually began to distort.
The condition for using [Iron Man's Suitcase] was "an item marked by the Host." Obviously, the [Apostle], whose highest Authority had already been acquired by Li Yu, t this condition.
The massive tal egg began to slowly fold and shrink until it contracted into a white Briefcase, quietly sitting on the ground, looking utterly inconspicuous.
It wasn't heavy at all; it truly only had the weight of a suitcase. It could even be put into the Compressed Space. No one could imagine that this white Briefcase was the legendary [Apostle].
After retrieving the [Apostle], the Star Glory Empire Exploration Vessel slowly lifted off and began heading towards Outer Space.
Everything was ready, and he only needed to wait for the Patrol Fleet to arrive.
"...Respected Your Excellency Li Yu..."
A baffling voice suddenly sounded in Li Yu's ear, making him frown, "Here it cos again..."
"This so-called Faith..."
Ever since he used [Life ntor] to influence nearly ten thousand fleet soldiers, baffling voices would sound in his ear from ti to ti.
At first, he was sowhat confused and vigilant, but after realizing that these voices were actually from the fleet soldiers, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This wasn't a prayer, just that when the fleet soldiers secretly talked about him, he could occasionally sense it.
Previously, when he influenced Li Ping and the Esper Group, he didn't have this kind of reaction. Perhaps it was because their numbers were too small, so they didn't have an impact on him.
However, now that he had influenced nearly ten thousand fleet soldiers, he could faintly feel this sensation.
Of course, this influence wasn't just voices appearing in his ear. He could perceive that his own ntal Power was also slowly growing.
It's just that the growth rate was extrely slow, perhaps because the amount of Faith was too little.
"Faith is toxic..." Li Yu murmured in a low voice. The voices that occasionally sounded in his ear currently didn't have any severe negative effects on him.
He could even ignore the occasional voices, but if the amount of Faith increased, it probably wouldn't be so simple.
He guessed that there should be a solution for this influence, otherwise those "Divine Spirits" would probably have gone mad long ago. It was just that he couldn't access it temporarily.
