Chapter 313: It turns out that everyone is a traitor
Pero stared at Li Yu with a puzzled look. The guy's sudden grin made him alert.
Then he followed Li Yu's gaze and looked over, but there was only a group of ordinary citizens watching, and he didn't notice anything.
"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"Nothing, I just thought of something funny..." Li Yu shook his head without further explanation.
Pero did not ask any more questions and took his men away as quickly as possible.
He didn't want to take on this hot potato, so he told the higher-ups as soon as possible and asked them to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Leaving behind the soldiers on guard, they stepped into the aircraft and immediately took off and left.
In the aircraft
At the same time, on the main star of the Muhetal galaxy, a grand banquet was being held in a magnificent building.
Soli and Das were raising their glasses and communicating with senior government officials of the Barrot civilization, and President Massimo smiled warmly.
"…It has been five years since I last saw His Majesty Titans. I miss you terribly."
President Massimo has been in power for more than twenty-five years and has less than five years left in his term.
"His Highness Titans often mentions you... You are an iron-fisted president and enjoy a high reputation in the galaxy."
Das boasted, and they both smiled, but no one could tell how much sincerity there was in it.
After chatting for a while, Massimo whispered, "Alex has already told me. Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with your work."
Alexei's mother came from a powerful family in Barot, and her story with Tigor was once a romantic affair.
Das and Soli just nodded. They had no desire to talk about the transparent Prince Alexei.
"...I heard that Baron Li Yu, who has been in the limelight recently, was also sent here. Why didn't he show up?" Massimo pretended to be puzzled.
Did you hear about it? Das secretly complained that he had a fight with the Star Empire at your doorstep. Do you dare to say you didn't know?
However, both sides tacitly did not mention the Four-Armed Titan Fleet.
Das also spoke up: "He has some unfinished business, so he was delayed, but don't worry, he will meet you soon."
Massimo nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, a waiter came hurriedly and whispered something in the ear of a middle-aged man next to Massimo.
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, and then he left here without saying a word.
Several people noticed this scene, but no one cared.
After leaving the banquet hall, the smile on Nick's face quickly faded, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Who dares to cause trouble in the Muhetal Galaxy!?"
"I don't know the specific situation. Commander Pero insisted on talking to you." The subordinate reported quickly.
Nick frowned, thinking that something big must have happened, for Pero to insist on talking to him under such circumstances.
Coming to the side hall, this is the temporary command room. Various precision instruments are running, and Pero's gloomy face is clearly projected on the holographic screen.
"What level of attack was it?" Nick asked quickly, dismissing the regular staff.
"It's just C-level, the affected area is not large..." Pero shook his head.
Nick was stunned for a moment, then waited for Pero's next words. A Class C attack basically only destroyed part of the block, with no more than a hundred casualties.
This kind of attack would not alarm him, and even sending Pero would be overstepping one's authority.
But he and Perot were old friends and knew there must be something else going on.
"The attacker's identity is too special..." Pero said with a wry smile, "The commander of the Meteorite Fleet - Li Yu!"
"What!?" Nick was shocked. They were just discussing Li Yu at the banquet, and the commander of Guixing said that he was busy with something.
Could it be that the busy task is to attack the Barot civilization?
"Are there many people who know about this? What exactly happened?" Nick asked hurriedly.
Pero shook his head: "Not many people know about his identity. Almost no one knows his identity..."
That's good... Hearing this, Nick breathed a sigh of relief. As long as not many people knew about it, the matter could be handled easily.
Then, Nick continued, "The target of his attack was a group of people who had fought in the Salvetan galaxy not long ago."
Nick, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt a huge wave of emotion surge in his heart. He asked with a trembling voice, "Is it the Green Hotel?"
"Yes...how did you know?" Now it was Pero's turn to feel strange. He hadn't told her where the attack was going to take place yet?
Nick smiled bitterly: "That group of people are from the Star Empire."
"What!?" Pero was also very shocked. He was actually from the Star Empire?
Wait...this means that part of the battle in the Salvetan galaxy is the responsibility of the Star Empire.
No wonder, although the top brass severely condemned the Salvetan battle incident, he did not find anyone investigating the matter.
Perrault felt mixed emotions for a moment, but didn't know how to comment.
The one who was even more confused at the moment was Nick. They had already known that the ones fighting on Salviatan were Meditation and the Star Empire.
But they had no choice, because the Barot Civilization was too close to the Amethyst Civilization, and most forces chose to use the Barot Civilization for their logistics transit.
There are some forces that even the Barot civilization cannot afford to offend and can only turn a blind eye to.
"What should we do then?" Perrault asked.
"Where is Li Yu?" Nick forced himself to calm down.
"In my hands..." Pero's smile became even more bitter.
"He didn't escape?" Nick asked subconsciously.
"Why did he run away?" Perrault asked in return.
Then they both fell silent. Yes, why would the other party want to escape? What would happen even if they caught him?
"First...keep an eye on him..." Nick hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and prepared to return to the banquet hall.
On the other side, Pero hung up the communication and walked back to the flight cabin where Li Yu was with a serious expression.
"Are they from the Star Empire?" Pero confirmed again.
"So you knew. I thought you didn't know." Li Yu was a little surprised. This guy didn't know at first. He must have found out the truth after making a phone call.
This means that the top leaders of the Barot civilization know about this group of sleepers.
Now comes the interesting part: why did the Sleeper come to Barot's capital galaxy after completing his mission?
According to Old John, the Sleeper should have completed his mission in the Salvetan galaxy.
Afterwards, he did not return to the New Medicine Empire, but came to the Muhetal Galaxy instead. There must be something unknown about it.
He folded his hands behind his head and found a comfortable position.
"So what if they are from the Star Empire? They will die if they are killed."
Pero couldn't help but want to curse. The Star Empire is no big deal to you, but for their Barot civilization, it is a big trouble.
"By the way...what are you going to do with me?" Li Yu turned his head and looked at Pero with a smile: "His Highness Titus sent me here..."
Fuck! Pero couldn't help cursing in his heart. He really wanted to blow the man's head off.
…
Nick returned to the banquet hall with a gloomy face. Looking at Soli and Das who were having a pleasant conversation with President Massimo, he also wanted to curse.
These two guys pretended to be very serious, but secretly they laughed at their Barot civilization.
He went straight to Massimo, angry in his heart, and didn't bother to pay attention to Soli and Das, and took Massimo to the side.
"Nick? What's the emergency?" Massimo frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with the rude behavior of the security minister.
Nick didn't care about anything else and quickly recounted the story.
As Nick spoke, Massimo's expression began to change, and finally became as gloomy as Nick's.
He suddenly looked at Soli and Das. What a good plan. Soli and Das openly lowered Barlot's vigilance, while Li Yu was doing things secretly.
They were unaware of the secret discord between Soli, Das and Li Yu.
All they knew was that the three men came from the same place.
Soli and Das were a little confused. Looking at Massimo's sudden unfriendly look, they didn't know what was going on.
"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Das took a sip of wine and said to Soli.
"Me too..." Soli looked at Massimo who was walking towards him again with big strides, and said the last sentence: "And I feel that it has something to do with Li Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Massimo walked up to them and asked in a cold voice, in stark contrast to his previous gentle attitude:
"Would you two like to explain?"
"Explain what?" Das asked in confusion.
"What on earth was the commander of the Meteor Fleet, Li Yu, doing?" Massimo's voice suddenly rose several degrees.
The rest of the people at the banquet gradually stopped talking and gathered here.
Sure enough, it is related to this guy, Das thought to himself, but why is he not surprised?
"We don't know what Li Yu is doing. If you know anything, please tell us." Das and Soli really didn't know what Li Yu was doing.
"He just killed an A-level life form from the Star Empire on Life Planet No. 3!" Massimo gritted his teeth.
Soli and Das were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and had to say "WTF" in their hearts.
This was too fast. How long had it been? Another A-level life form was killed?
No... there are also A-level life forms from the Star Empire here.
Das's mind turned into a thousand thoughts, his face suddenly turned cold, and he asked in the same question: "President Massimo, do you still remember who the Barlote civilization is allied with?"
"It's fine that you just blocked our entry, but we didn't pursue the matter for allowing the Star Empire's four-armed Titan fleet to run rampant in your territory."
"Now we are only killing an A-level life form of the Star Empire, and you want to hold us accountable?"
Although he didn't want to say this, Das suddenly smashed the wine glass to the ground and said in a cold voice:
"Li Yu is the commander of the Meteorite Fleet. He is also the Honorary Baron of Guixing, and the owner of the Gold Cross Medal and the Sword Bearer Medal. He holds a distinguished position."
"If something unexpected happens to Commander Li Yu in your territory, don't blame us for breaking the alliance and sending our army to the border!"
Even though he hated Li Yu, he had to stand up for Li Yu now.
Because Li Yu killed an A-level life form of the Star Empire, not only would he not be held accountable if this matter was reported back, he might even be highly praised.
If they did not support Li Yu, they might be blamed instead.
As soon as these words came out, Massimo's face turned pale instantly. Oh no... He was only considering the accountability of the Star Empire and forgot about returning to the star.
The entire banquet hall fell silent. Even though there were only two of them, Das and Soli, it seemed as if there were a huge army behind them.
Although what the other party said was likely intended to intimidate them, the attitude he displayed made them think deeply.
…
At this time, in a hotel somewhere on the third life planet, Donovan and his two companions were here. Donovan connected to the network monitoring department of the four-armed Titan fleet.
He couldn't be sure whether the problem was with the sleeper or with himself, but he wanted to eliminate the possibility that the problem was with his side.
In any case, in the interstellar world, if you want to quickly transmit messages, you basically need a network medium.
"...Boss, at the time you mentioned, in addition to the normal network information exchange, only three smart terminals sent information to the outside..." Josh quickly called up the data, "Please wait for me to confirm the code of the smart terminal..."
"Is there really a problem on our side?" Donovan's face suddenly darkened.
Under normal circumstances, during the execution of the mission, no external communication is allowed except for normal network information exchange.
Sending information to the outside at that time is highly suspicious.
"Locked..." Josh looked strange, as if he had discovered something incredible:
"They are Mr. Jorge..." As soon as Josh uttered a name, the three of them were shocked. Donovan and Gongora looked at Jorge at the same time.
Donovan's face was a mixture of surprise and ferocity. No wonder the secret was leaked. It turned out that the traitor was Jorge.
Jorge was also shocked. What the hell? I am a traitor? Impossible, absolutely impossible! ?
"And Lord Gongora..." Josh continued.
Donovan looked at Gongora again. Gongora was still there?
He himself felt it was unbelievable. Gongora also widened his eyes. Am I also a traitor?
He vaguely felt that something was wrong...
"And yourself, Lord Donovan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into deathly silence. Jorge and Gongora looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Donovan. It turned out that they were all "traitors".
