Chapter 354 Report
In the central star system of Guixing, in the palace of Titus...
The gloomy atmosphere made people feel creepy, but an irregular sound of footsteps was heard in the palace.
"Your Highness Alexei, you've gone the wrong way. This way."
"Oh, sorry." His tone was full of apology, and he immediately asked, "Brother, it's rare for you to come to me. What's the matter?"
"I don't know either. You will understand when you meet His Majesty Titus."
"Okay..." He looked disappointed.
Titus sat in a chair, expressionless, looking at Alexei who walked in.
He walked unsteadily and looked a little nonchalant. After coming in, he looked around and seemed a little curious.
"Brother, I haven't been to your place before." He seemed quite familiar and seemed to have a very good relationship with Titus.
"How do you feel?" Titus asked expressionlessly.
"Not very good..." Alexei shook his head and curled his lips, "The environment makes me a little nervous, just like when I met His Majesty Tigor."
"Brother, why do you have to learn from our father when there are so many people you can learn from..."
Alexei seemed to be joking, but it made Titus' eyes even more profound.
There is naturally no such thing as exceeding the rules in the interstellar age, but Alexi's words imply that he is just a child who looks up to his father.
What surprised him was not this sentence, but Alexei's attitude.
"Did you ask the military to issue the secret transfer order?" Titus asked directly.
Alexei didn't expect Titus to be so direct. The smile on his face gradually faded, revealing a little doubt:
"Brother, don't politicians always speak in a veiled way? I'm a little uncomfortable with your directness."
Titus' tone remained calm: "You said they were politicians, and we are brothers, so we should speak directly."
"Yes... We are brothers..." Alexei repeated in an inexplicable tone, and said frankly: "Yes, it's me."
Titus already knew this. He frowned slightly and said, "You want to go to war with me?"
Alexei hurriedly shook his head and said exaggeratedly: "My dear brother, how could I dare to go to war with you? You are so famous..."
Titus raised his hand to stop Alexei's flattery and looked his young brother up and down.
There are many descendants of Tigor, and Titus has come into contact with all of them to a greater or lesser extent. Some of them were even brought up by him, so he thinks he knows most of them very well.
But the Alexei we saw today was completely different from what we had seen before.
Alexei was not afraid that Titus would attack him. At least, while Tigor was alive, Titus could not kill him.
"You already did that."
Alexei shook his head and explained: "The Ark of Salvation wanted Li Yu, I just added fuel to the fire."
"But your instigation will harm my plan."
Alexei looked nonchalant: "Don't worry, I have already told you that the Ark of Savior dare not interfere with the Heart of Titan. Their only target is Li Yu."
"You told them?" Titus was a little amused. "You are the navigator of the Ark of Salvation? Why should they listen to you? Just because of your useless status as a prince?"
Alexey asked back: "What are you worried about? There is only one Li Yu around."
Titus said solemnly: "I don't care about Li Yu, I just want the Heart of Titan."
Alexi's tone was still relaxed: "That's no problem. The Ark of Savior got Li Yu, and you got the Heart of Titan. Everyone is happy."
He spoke as if it were an established fact that had already happened.
Because Alexei's words were so stupid, he couldn't even tell whether Alexei said it on purpose or was really stupid.
In Titus's mind, the frivolous and dissolute Alexi collapsed.
A vague impression was once again established - a fool bewitched by the Ark of Salvation.
At this moment, a waiter hurried in and whispered something to Titus.
Titus's expression changed slightly, and then some doubts emerged.
Waving off the waiter, he looked at Alexei and said, "Keya has something to report, it's a good opportunity for you to listen too."
Alexei is confused, because Keya is Titus's confidant and the person in charge of the Heart of the Titan.
Now it must be reported to Alexey that the matter of the Ancient Waterway has been settled.
The result doesn't matter whether the Ark of Savior gets Li Yu or they get the Heart of the Titan, or whether the Ark of Savior gets both.
The latter is also what Alexei wants to see, because in this way, he can negotiate terms with Titus.
No... I'm negotiating terms with Titus on behalf of the Ark of Salvation.
He is just a dissolute and frivolous prince. How dare he confront Titus head-on? It must be the Ark of Savior that is in charge.
Titus should have been able to guess his purpose, but he still chose to let him sit in on Keya's report, which really puzzled Alexei.
If the mission fails, Titus will not let others see him being humiliated.
Could it be that there is a third possibility, that Keya not only obtained the Heart of the Titan, but also drove away the people from the Ark of Savior?
Is this possible?
Soon, Keya's holographic projection appeared here, and Alexei couldn't help but whistled: "Commander Keya, you are still so beautiful."
Keya was in no mood to talk to Alexei any more and glanced at Titus with some confusion.
"Go ahead and report. It's a good opportunity for Alexi to give me some advice." Titus nodded.
"Yes..." Keya glanced at Alexi and said in a deep voice: "Something unexpected happened. The people from the Ark of Savior suddenly intervened. Li Yu designed a plan to bring everyone together for a melee. He lurked at the end, seized the Heart of the Titan, and left calmly."
Keya briefly summarized the incident. Due to the urgency of the matter, she did not have time to write a battle report after the battle, so she contacted Titus.
This was also the briefing that Titusso had just heard, so he was confused because there were too many things in it that were difficult to understand.
An indescribable expression appeared on Alexei's face, like confusion, disbelief, and confusion.
"What... did you just say ?" He couldn't help but ask again.
Keya was too lazy to pay attention to him, and then she recounted the whole story in detail, including how she discovered the ambush of the Ark of Savior in advance... designed to cause a melee... used her overwhelming strength to grab the Titan's Heart in advance... fought against Brooks... and left calmly...
Keya would report to Titus every once in a while. Titus was already aware of what had happened before, and she focused on the final battle that took place on the desolate planet.
"Good method. Almost every step is taken at the most critical point, and even the crisis is foreseen in advance." Titus couldn't help but admire:
"Although there are still some flaws, this is a review after the fact. The situation was unpredictable at the time, and I'm afraid few people would have made a better choice than him."
"The most important thing is that he has a strong backing. How long has it been since he became an A-level life form? Half a year? He is truly a talent..."
Alexei blinked, finally reacted, and couldn't help asking: "The Ark of Salvation overturned? Was it killed by Li Yu?"
This was a possibility he had never anticipated because it was simply unrealistic.
In order to prevent the Ark of Salvation from overturning, he deliberately asked them to mobilize far more forces than Li Yu could handle at present.
A lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Alexi knows this very well and thinks he has done his best.
There are eight A-level life forms, one of which is a secondary evolved form. How can they not be able to capture Li Yu?
However, the facts gave him a resounding slap in the face. Not only did he fail to capture the target, but the person leading the team also died.
In Keya's words, that meant being killed in a crushing manner.
"It's a pity that such a talent was taken advantage of by Klein in advance." Titus shook his head. He was not as angry as he expected when the Heart of the Titan was taken away.
The key lies in Alexei's intervention, which diverted some of the hatred.
The killing of the people from the Ark of Salvation was equivalent to helping Titus vent his anger.
"Brother, don't be happy so early. The Heart of the Titan is still in his hands." Alexei reminded with a little displeasure.
"I know. I will contact him and ask him to hand it over." Titus regained his composure but did not finish his words.
Alexei sighed, not doubting it.
If Tigor does not take action, Li Yu will definitely not be included in the entire Guixing people who are qualified to resist Titus.
Unfortunately, he worked so hard but got nothing in return, oh... no... he didn't even get the "attention" of Titus.
…
A few minutes ago, in the central conference room of the Meditation Institute, senior researchers gathered in front of a square metal table, sitting in their respective seats with their eyes closed.
As a large armed scientific research organization, the Meditation Institute's senior researchers hold enormous power.
The clothing of each senior researcher is very luxurious, with different styles and huge differences, representing the research project that each senior researcher is responsible for.
This operation had a huge impact and involved a speculation by the chief researcher, so the senior researchers personally reviewed it.
Several hours have passed since Brooks' last report. It is said that he has monitored the top management of Guixing and found the location of the Heart of Titan.
So at this time, the senior researchers are still waiting for good news from Brooks and others.
A senior researcher checked the time and nodded, "They should have succeeded."
"It's almost time, but why is there no news yet?" another senior researcher wondered.
"Maybe they are cleaning up the battlefield and counting the harvest."
Someone started talking, and everyone discussed it in a low voice, keeping calm and not thinking that any accidents would happen in this operation.
In their view, this time they sent out a large fleet, led by the backbone Brooks, and also brought artificial gods, and paid a huge price.
With both quality and quantity far exceeding our competitors and comprehensive advantages, there is really no reason for us to fail.
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened.
The dome of the conference room is very high and the door is ten meters high. The texture does not look like metal, but rather like smooth and warm black jade. However, there is no gap in the door, just like a wall.
At this time, the black door began to shrink from the middle to both sides, but it did not open completely, leaving only a two-meter-wide gap. A figure walked into the room with his back to the light, and the gap closed behind him.
The senior researchers stopped talking, stood up, performed a courtesy, and bowed respectfully to this person.
"Head researcher."
This person is Reinhardt, the chief researcher of the Meditation Institute.
Reinhardt hummed and walked to the main seat, which was a suspended black sphere, and sat down.
The sphere seemed to be soft and sank, automatically adjusting according to his body shape, adapting to his body structure and becoming a seat of the most suitable size.
The senior researchers then sat down, and seeing that Reinhardt was only there to wait for news and had no intention of speaking, they did not continue the discussion.
After waiting for a while, spots of light suddenly appeared in the center of the metal table, gathered together, and turned into a remote projection of Terra - the fleet finally sent a battle report.
Terra's face was stiff. "Mr. Reinhardt, senior researchers... the battle is over, and we are evacuating."
"Well, come back with the Heart of the Titan, and we will send troops to pick you up." A senior researcher with an impatient temper spoke directly.
If another senior researcher was a little confused: "Where is Brooks? Why are you reporting here?"
Hearing this, Terra opened her mouth with an awkward expression, unable to speak.
Seeing this, everyone was a little confused and felt something was wrong.
"Did something happen to you?" someone asked.
"...Yes, we did not complete the mission. The operation failed." Terra answered stiffly.
The top management mobilized so many resources, but the task was not completed. Not only that, Brooks was also lost. Terra felt it was too embarrassing.
Moreover, he knew that his life was in danger.
“Failed?!” The senior researchers were immediately in an uproar, filled with anger. After mobilizing so many resources, how could they fail?
"Tell me the details. How did he fail? Didn't Brooks have every advantage? He even monitored the other side's senior officers."
"...Well, actually Commander Brooks was deceived by the enemy and walked into the enemy's trap every step of the way."
Since Brooks was dead anyway, Terra simply put all the blame on him.
The senior researcher group twitched their faces. They walked into the enemy's trap? That's really amazing.
A senior researcher couldn't help but ask, "You brought artificial gods this time, didn't Brooks use them?"
"No, he used ..."
"Then how did it become like this?"
"It was Li Yu. Commander Brooks had a chance to reverse this, but Li Yu was able to ignore the effects of the artificial gods."
The senior researchers frowned immediately. It was Li Yu again! ?
Brooks had reported this matter to them before, but they didn't take this person seriously.
It’s not that the artificial gods are irresistible, it’s just that most A-level life forms are relatively unfamiliar with the Glorious Council and have never confronted the gods head-on.
It’s not that the man-made gods are so powerful, but that other people don’t know how to deal with them.
"There is one more thing... Commander Brooks was killed by Li Yu." Terra explained carefully.
The faces of the senior
I didn't expect that he had been killed.
A senior researcher suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "A bunch of rubbish, bring back the artificial gods!"
"The man-made gods...are also lost..."
"What!?" A senior researcher stood up suddenly, obviously extremely angry.
"The mission was not completed, the people died, and now even the people and the gods have been lost. What on earth do you do for a living?"
"Brooks, he...!" When he mentioned this name, he suddenly remembered that the other party was already dead. Even if he wanted to hold him accountable, he couldn't find anyone. He could only say angrily:
"waste!"
At this time, another person knocked on the table and said, "Tell me the details of the battle and what happened."
Taila's heart trembled, and she sorted out her thoughts and said, "...This is what happened..."
After listening to Terra's hasty description of the battle process and results, the senior researchers were filled with mixed emotions of astonishment and anger. They looked at each other and discovered a key point.
"The turning point of the matter lies in Li Yu. His strength exceeded everyone's expectations, so he was caught off guard." Someone concluded.
"And we knew about the ambush of the Ark of Salvation in advance and planned it calmly."
"Brooks mentioned this name in his report before, but we didn't pay much attention to it."
Terra's expression flickered. Now that such a big mistake had happened and Brook, the leader, was dead, if he wanted to survive, he could only throw dirty water on Brook desperately.
"Senior researchers, there is one more thing. Do you still remember the incident of the main ship being damaged?" Terra gritted her teeth.
"Huh?" Someone looked at him with a puzzled look.
"Afterwards, I investigated carefully. The main ship was not damaged accidentally during the battle. Instead, someone sneaked into the main ship and fought with Commander Brooks. They even cracked the main ship's database!"
Terra naturally didn't dare to say that she helped Brooks conceal it, and only said that she investigated it afterwards.
He himself did investigate the ruins of the main ship afterwards and discovered the unusual traces, which was also to have a way out in case Brooks turned against .
"Hacked the main ship's database!?"
The successive bad news made the senior researchers furious.
They naturally knew the importance of data, not to mention that there was a large amount of confidential information in the main ship's database.
The failure of the operation was frustrating enough, and then I heard this bad news.
A bunch of trash!
At this time, Reinhardt, who had been listening silently, spoke with a blank expression.
"Was the database hacked when Brooks reported last time?"
Terra nodded hastily: "Yes, it was last time."
Reinhardt took a deep breath and thought of something.
"You did a good job, bring people back."
After saying that, Reinhardt stood up and walked away. Although his face showed no emotion, the senior researchers knew Reinhardt's character very well and were probably extremely angry.
"Also, investigate Li Yu carefully. I want all his information:!"
The black door opened and he left his last words.
…
Six hours after the battle on the desolate planet, in Iris's spaceship, Li Yu was lying on a chair, assembling a massage device with the [Titan Colonization Suit].
There were a lot of compressed nutrition bars piled up at his feet, and his left hand was constantly stuffing them into his mouth to relieve the weakness coming from his body.
His right hand was looking at the silver-white space compression device in his hand.
