Chapter 342 Influence
In Iris's spaceship, not long after Li Yu and Hun Zhentian left, Iris wandered around the spaceship.
She has been flying this spaceship for many years and can fly it from beginning to end with her eyes closed.
Several members of the Iron Fist Team followed her closely to avoid any unexpected situations.
"I hope My Lord is okay. After all, it's a large-scale fleet. If they are discovered..." Olena said worriedly.
"I think he's doomed..." Carol said carelessly, with sharp ears: "You haven't seen how huge that fleet is. Even if he is an A-level life form, he can't handle it."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Olena glared at Carol and was about to raise the energy cannon to kill her.
"We can't execute him without the adults' order." Stanley shook his head and pressed Olena's energy cannon: "Besides, he is likely to provoke me on purpose."
Carol curled her lips and muttered, "I'm just analyzing it rationally."
Bang!
Carol flew backwards and hit the wall that had been repaired many times, making a loud bang.
"Not killing you means letting you live!" Stanley looked cold and retracted his fist.
"Be gentle. My spaceship is a bit old and can't withstand the abuse."
Elise complained, casually sitting next to the silent Anthony, tapping her slender fingers on her knees.
Anthony's eyes moved slightly, and he stared at Iris's movements out of the corner of his eye. This was a secret language that he used to convey information. How did this woman know it?
"Are you interested in collaborating?"
The two communicated through various means under the eyes of the Iron Fist Team.
The Iron Fist Team is a veteran of the battlefield, but Anthony and Iris have been working in the Lant Hub for many years and are not useless.
After about a few hours, the spaceship that was originally floating in the starry sky suddenly moved on its own.
"Mr. Little Noisy, what's wrong?" Stanley asked immediately.
"My master is calling me." Little Noisy replied.
Everyone in the Iron Fist Team breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the adults were fine.
As for the rest, they looked at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.
…
Eight days later, in a certain section of the Ancient Route, a dark green psionic tide spread along the starry sky. In front of this tide, a certain desolate planet seemed so small.
The dozens of remaining warships of Guixing suddenly fell out of the jump state, and the main ships surrounding the center had already suffered heavy damage just from the appearance.
After Li Yu left, Keya and her fleet paid a heavy price to escape from the battlefield.
In the main ship's command room, projections of several A-class life forms and high-level commanders gathered here, all with ugly looks on their faces.
"Damn Li Yu!"
Soli's projection became blurry for a moment. He seemed to be venting madly in the battleship, causing the signal to be unstable.
Keya frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Calm down."
Her aura was also somewhat unstable, and the mottled combat armor on the metal rack on one side was being repaired.
At the last moment of the battle, she had to enter, otherwise even these people would not be able to escape.
"How can you ask me to calm down?"
Soli was panting like a mad bull, his eyes bloodshot, staring at Keya: "Dass was captured by the Star Empire, how can I stay calm!"
Dasko is his good friend. Decades ago, the two served in the same formation and even shared bunk beds.
Although Das is a man of deep thoughts, he treats Soli very well.
The reason why Das was captured, and even had something to do with him, was because he was captured by Donovan in order to save Soli who was in danger.
This made Soli feel even more guilty and angry. If it weren't for Li Yu, Das wouldn't have been captured, and they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
"Then go and rescue Das." Keya said calmly.
Her normally charming eyes now seemed like sharp lightsabers piercing Thorley's heart, causing him to breath rapidly but unable to speak.
If he had the ability to rescue her, he wouldn't be complaining here.
"Not only was Das captured, but my men were also killed. I don't feel any better than you do."
Keya usually looks very angry, but now it can be seen why she can sit firmly in the position of commander of the Blood Rose Fleet.
"But now the priority is to calm down and deal with the situation at hand."
Soli tightened his lips, suppressed his anger, and gradually calmed down: "This matter cannot be let go like this, Li Yu must pay the price."
"I will submit a report to the High Command to refute his traitorous behavior. It would be best if he can be charged with treason."
"You can't do it." Keya shook her head: "Our mission will not appear in Guixing's system. Do you expect to defeat him with a non-existent mission?"
After all, this ancient waterway is within the territory of the Amethyst Civilization, and they cannot carry out large-scale operations under the banner of Guixing.
Soli gritted his teeth and said, "Then His Highness Titus doesn't care!?"
Keya, who was originally quite calm, suddenly changed her expression when she heard these words. How could this guy be so stupid that he actually wanted His Majesty Titus to come and add fuel to the fire.
Li Yu has a close relationship with Prince Connor and General Aysel, and Titus does not want to fall out with these two powerful men.
At least for a mere Das, it's not worth it at all.
Moreover, Li Yu's growth rate is astonishingly fast. Based on Keya's understanding of Titus, it must be mainly based on recruitment.
Titus will not take action unless the opponent is clearly an enemy.
However, Keya naturally did not speak out such deep thoughts. Instead, she comforted him, "Don't worry, this matter will be handled properly. Das will not be in danger of his life."
There is a high probability that Das’ life will not be in danger. A-level life forms are very precious resources. The best way for the Star Empire to deal with it is to let Guixing redeem Das.
No matter how reluctant Gui Xing is, he will have to redeem it in the end. Otherwise, what will the other A-level life forms think?
However, there is still a very small possibility that Donovan will not report it at all, but will kill Das directly.
This possibility is even quite possible, because Donovan is extremely hostile to Guixing, which stems from the battle before the Barot civilization.
In short, it means hating the whole house.
Although Soli was not very smart, he was not stupid. He could naturally hear the perfunctory tone in Keya's words.
On the one hand, he was worried about Das, and on the other hand, he wanted Li Yu to pay the price!
But he had calmed down now, knowing that his impotent rage would not solve any problems, so he snorted coldly and logged off.
Keya shook her head and didn't care. There were more troubles waiting for her.
Due to a series of chain reactions, the Guixing Fleet was almost wiped out, and it lost the possibility of seizing the Heart of the Titan in the future.
If we send someone to provide support now, it will probably be too late.
The Heart of the Titan is something that Titus values very much. Her face changed as she thought about a solution.
Finally... she calmed down, turned on her smart terminal, and dialed a communication link.
Soli in another battleship folded his arms, trying to use his few brain cells, and finally he remembered something Das once told him.
The reason why Li Yu came here was not because of Titus's intention, but because of the conditions proposed by Alexei.
Das speculated that Alexei was ostensibly trying to increase Klein's influence, but in fact he must have his own agenda.
He thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and opened Alexei's communication link.
Was it something he had added at a party, or something Alexei had asked for?
Soon, the communication was connected, and Alexi's tone was as light as ever: "Sir Soli? You should be on a mission now, how come you have time to contact me?"
"Your Highness Alexi, there is a piece of news that should be of great interest to you." Soli tried to make his tone closer to Das's.
"Oh..." Alexei said in a playful tone: "Tell me about it..."
"Li Yu..." Soli spit out two words.
Alexei paused, and said casually, "I heard that he and the Iron Fist team disappeared into the Amethyst Territory."
"He...didn't disappear!" Soli gritted his teeth!
…
In the four-armed Titan fleet, Donovan sat at a circular conference table, surrounded by bright blue virtual projections, most of whom were four-armed Titans, like a high-level .
Many four-armed Titans cast strange looks at Donovan, because Donovan was wearing ordinary clothes and was not wearing a smart terminal, looking like an ordinary passerby.
"Donovan, have you returned to primitive times? Where are the electronic devices on your body?" someone asked curiously.
"An accident happened and I destroyed all of them." After learning from the last lesson, Donovan asked all his men to check whether there were any strange changes in electronic equipment after the battle.
As expected, a large number of strange mechanical bodies were detected and they were all destroyed by him.
As the projection of the last four-armed Titan emerged, the meeting officially began.
"...After both sides jointly expelled the Star Returning Fleet...we had another major conflict with the Meditation Fleet...each suffered losses...this is the briefing of this battle..." Donovan finished talking about the battle situation and looked around: "What do you think, brothers?"
His status in the Four-Armed Titan Legion was not low, and one of them immediately said, "Brother Donovan has made great achievements this time. He killed an A-level life form from Guixing and captured another one. His contribution is not small."
"I asked you to give me suggestions, not to flatter me." Donovan scolded unceremoniously.
"Although this battle report seems good, it is just a piece of waste paper." The four-armed Titan at the top spoke.
He seemed to be the one with the highest status among them. As soon as he spoke, the other four-armed Titans who were whispering to each other shut their mouths at the same time.
Donovan frowned slightly, but did not refute.
"How many times have I said that killing is not the goal? There are so many A-level life forms in the entire universe. Can you kill them all?" He stood up slowly. Even though it was just a projection, the sense of oppression was still full.
"I transferred you here for the Titan's Heart. You lead the fleet to kill everyone, and you seem mighty, but let me ask you, where is the Titan's Heart? "
"Yes, Commander, I was reckless!" Donovan said with his head down.
The legion commander did not give up because of his confession, but became more severe: "Look at this battle report yourself, Li Yu appeared from the meditation fleet..."
"Have you ever thought about why he appeared from the meditation fleet? What is his purpose? What did he get?"
"You should have given up the Guixing Fleet and focused on attacking Li Yu. You are too greedy. You want to destroy the Guixing Fleet and capture Li Yu as well!"
"But what's the result!?"
The other four-armed Titans were silent. Donovan lowered his head and said nothing.
"This Li Yu is extremely purposeful and will not do anything meaningless. He has only done three things since he showed up: saving his men, diverting trouble, and evacuating the battlefield. He has not engaged in meaningless battles."
The legion commander continued, his eyes were deep and full of wisdom that was rare among the four-armed Titan race:
"From this, we can infer that he must have obtained what he wanted in the meditation fleet, otherwise he would not have chosen to expose himself."
"Combined with the death of the Sleeper and the loss of Silvester's ring that stored the mental tempering device, the only thing I can think of is the key."
Donovan suddenly raised his head, and then he understood why Li Yu suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
But I hadn't thought of this at all.
Then, he took another breath, his pupils contracted: "Gene optimization device, spirit tempering device...he got them all!?"
"You just realized it!" The legion commander was disappointed: "Not everyone will submit to the Four-Armed Titan Legion, Donovan... I think highly of you, but you have also been bewitched by false reputation."
Donovan was extremely ashamed and shouted, "Captain, I promise to catch him next time!"
"Your first priority is the Heart of Titan, and Li Yu is second!" The legion commander scolded coldly, then he looked around and said in a deep voice: "Don't think I didn't say anything about you."
"The troll army is killing people everywhere in the no man's land, and its status is rising day by day. If we don't have any outstanding achievements, next year... the empire will cut military spending."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed significantly.
…
In the meditation fleet, Brooks stood in front of the porthole, looking at the ever-changing nebula in the distance with deep eyes.
"Sir Brooks, the loss report is out. We have lost a total of 1,435 warships, and two A-class life forms were seriously injured." Terra reported carefully.
"Is the main ship included?" Brooks asked calmly, as if nothing had happened.
"The main ship has been taken into account..." Terra replied hastily.
"What a huge loss. I will inevitably be held accountable when I return." Brooks seemed to be talking to himself.
"This is all because of Li Yu..." Terra tried to take the blame off Brooks and put all the blame on Li Yu.
"Li Yu...I underestimated him." Brooks repeated the name, and some bad memories resurfaced.
Li Yu not only took away the secret key, but most importantly, he took away the main ship's database.
There is a lot of confidential information in it, especially the report of Chief Researcher Reinhardt, which is the most confidential among the confidential ones.
If the top leaders of Meditation knew about the information leak, even he would be in trouble.
Fortunately, he killed all the people who knew about the incident. No one knew what happened except him and Li Yu.
"With your strength, you will be able to take him down without any effort next time we meet." Terra boasted, "You don't even need to do anything. You can take him down with just your fleet."
Brooks' eyes flashed coldly, but before he could see the movement, Terra crashed into the metal wall, making a dent.
"I don't even dare to look down on him, what qualifications do you have to speak so arrogantly here!?"
The slap was on the horse's leg, and Terra didn't dare to refute.
Brooks took a deep breath and asked, "What about the battle report? Is it ready?"
"Okay..." Terra hurriedly handed over the battle report.
Brooks took over the battle report, which was generally similar to the entire war situation, but the only blank spot was about the losses of the main ship.
All the people in the main ship died, the internal monitoring system was damaged, and no one knew what happened except Brooks.
"The main ship was accidentally lost in the exchange of fire..." Brooks summed up the incident with a casual remark.
Terra's heart trembled. Something unusual really happened in the main ship. While thinking this in her mind, she replied calmly, "Yes... Your Excellency."
