Chapter 402: Preparing to Leave and Launching an Attack
Hearing this, Azkana frowned slightly and said, "Let him leave his central galaxy now?"
He seemed reluctant, and it seemed that this "soon" was much closer than I imagined, so I had to run faster.
Li Yu pondered secretly, and still said calmly: "Don't worry, everything is under my control."
He controls a chicken, Li Yu only knows a general idea now, but it does not prevent him from fooling His Majesty.
Azkana was a little unhappy, but since the two had just reached a cooperation intention, he didn't say much.
Humph, when your identity is exposed, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
"Okay, that's it..." Azkana's figure began to unravel, and at the last moment, he suddenly said, "Viapos?"
Li Yu looked confused, then looked at Azkana with a half-smile.
Azkana was actually deceiving him. Li Yu wondered which congressman's real name this Viabos was. He kept it in mind.
Seeing that the other party did not reveal any flaws, Azkana left unhappily, while Li Yu slowly opened his eyes with a frown.
He knew that Tigor's death would probably cause a huge uproar, but he didn't expect that this wave would come much sooner than he thought.
"Let me take my people away first..." Li Yu thought to himself. With his current status, his every move was under widespread scrutiny, and he couldn't leave at will.
However, he just happened to have an excuse to leave the central galaxy and go to the No Man's Land to serve as the commander of the Black Eye Fleet.
And now he is trying to trick Azkana into helping him, saying that the Borderlands is not a dangerous place.
It's a good opportunity to investigate Gensokyo, that's not bad either.
While thinking, he came to the large experimental base where Payton was. Compared with the desolateness at the beginning, it was now much more lively.
It was full of researchers who had come and gone, and had once belonged to the Gust Laboratory.
In a certain laboratory, a metal pendant is placed in a transparent glass cover. Inside the pendant is a piece of stellar core fragment. After being processed by Payton, it releases radiation at a faster rate.
After Li Yu took it, he immediately felt a warm feeling filling his body.
During this period, when he was free, he insisted on using the mental tempering device, and had already increased the progress of gene chain development to about 7%.
If this small device is added, the advancement speed should be accelerated again.
"It's time to plan the next stage of the gene chain..." Li Yu pondered secretly, but he didn't have a good direction.
Payton was busy with his own things. Li Yu looked around and asked in a low voice: "Can this experimental base be packed up and taken away?"
Payton's movements were slightly hesitant, and he turned to look at Li Yu, with a slightly puzzled look in his eyes, and his tone was calm: "Sure, it's nothing more than some technological equipment. As long as the space compression device is large enough and there are enough of them, you can pack it up and take it away."
"But if you want to clear this place out, you should first consider how to deal with Guixing's accountability."
It is not difficult to pack up the entire experimental base, but the difficulty lies in how to deal with the return to the star.
If it were before, Li Yu would not have such an idea, since the right to use this experimental base would still last for many years.
But today I got some explosive news from Azkana.
It won’t be long before Guixing will face a major storm, and it remains to be seen whether it can survive it.
If they can get through it, the worst that can happen is that Li Yu will apologize and return the things, and everyone will just laugh it off.
If he can't make it through, no one will care about the things he took away.
Li Yu didn't say much to Payton, as this matter couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.
It shouldn't be difficult to take the hunters away, but Klein is a bit troublesome...
Li Yu thought to himself that this place might very likely become a battlefield, so he would naturally not leave the hunters behind.
Apart from the hunters, the only person who could make Li Yu consider him a little was Klein.
But her identity is even more special. It is not a matter of just saying something if you want to take her away, and how to explain it to her is also a problem.
But Li Yu changed his mind and felt that he seemed to have overestimated Guixing's status as incompetent. After all, it was a top-level civilization, so how could it be completely powerless to resist?
"Let's take it one step at a time. It's always a good idea to plan ahead."
…
In the central galaxy, on a certain satellite, Elton was in an absolutely secret room. He had a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something. All his electronic devices had been confiscated.
Waiting for the results of genetic verification.
Ever since he was inexplicably knocked unconscious last time, he often fell into a trance and even lost his memory for a few seconds.
He didn't know what was going on. It made him feel like something was wrong, but he couldn't find the source of the abnormality.
And the most outrageous thing is that he discovered that he had awakened some kind of superpower, similar to telekinesis, but even more powerful.
The concept of a blessing in disguise came to his mind more than once.
And he didn't even connect his awakened ability with the fact that he was knocked unconscious before.
Because it is impossible that the other party knocked him out just to give him the ability to awaken. Who would believe it if I told others about it?
Outside the room, Titus looked at the silent Elton, and his subordinates were reporting in a low voice: "Your Highness, according to the results of the gene comparison, his identity can be confirmed."
This result was within his expectations. He had met with Elton before and could basically confirm that he was the former commander of the Meteorite Fleet.
Genetic comparisons are done only to convince others.
"Keep an eye on him, I'm going to see General Aiser..." Titus turned around and left.
…
Seven days later...
During this period of time, Li Yu has finished dealing with most of the things, and completed the packing work of the experimental base and his own base.
Since his subordinates are all absolutely loyal fanatics, outsiders have no way of knowing what he is doing.
On this day, Li Yu received another meeting call, but this time it was not bad news, but good news -
Although the Four-Armed Titan Fleet arrived in No Man's Land, the Glorious Council sent reinforcements and cooperated with Horus, which led to a stalemate.
"Calculating the time, it's about time..." Li Yu thought that the timing of this meeting was just right.
Elton had already fallen into Titus's hands, and Li Yu would occasionally descend into Elton's body through [Force Projection].
During this time, Titus should have been prepared.
It was still the same conference hall, with many senior executives gathered together. Vimala arrived here early and she was in a good mood.
Although the situation on the battlefield had taken a sharp turn for the worse due to Yodel's inexplicable attack on Horus, he had no choice but to send troops to support in advance.
However, unexpectedly, after the Four Wall Titan Legion arrived, the Glorious Council chose to cooperate with Guixing, resulting in the expected situation of only being able to retreat not happening.
Now the situation is at a stalemate, and they are vaguely gaining the upper hand.
Although the development process was very different from what Vimala had imagined, the final result was good.
It’s just that… Titus has been quite active recently, and I wonder what he’s planning.
Thinking of this, her good mood mostly disappeared.
As soon as Li Yu showed up, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and several senior executives cast obscure glances at him.
Athel looked directly at Li Yu, with a look that contained many inexplicable meanings.
The sudden change in the atmosphere in the conference hall caught Vimala's attention, and she had a bad feeling.
While waiting for everyone to arrive, Vimala, although full of doubts, suppressed them and began the meeting.
The first half of the meeting was unremarkable, consisting mostly of Horus' battle reports during this period.
Battle reports will only be paid attention to when unexpected events occur, such as the last time Horus was suddenly attacked.
Otherwise, in other cases, people just want to know the results.
Some people who knew that something big was about to happen couldn't wait for the battle report summary to be over.
"...That's all about the situation in the Borderlands for now. At the same time, the Spiritual Civilization has agreed to issue a joint hanging order against the White Rebellion." Vimala frowned slightly, trying to end the meeting directly:
"This concludes the topic of today's meeting."
However, how could Titus, who had been preparing for a long time, miss this great opportunity? His eyes flashed slightly.
Someone immediately stood up and said loudly, "Queen Vimala, please do not end the meeting yet. There is still an important matter to discuss."
"Consul Jose, what's the big deal?" Vimala's eyes narrowed slightly. She was from the Titus camp.
Jose was full of confidence and said loudly: "It's about an old case - the Ordos incident, which involved five A-level life forms and the Titan ruins."
"The Ordos incident?"
"The incident that led to Elton's death?"
"Yes, such a terrible incident has not occurred in the territory for a long time."
“…”
There was a sudden whisper in the field.
"Commander Elton died heroically in this incident, and the Apostle disappeared. This is a rare high-risk incident that occurred in the country." Jose continued:
"And the real protagonist only appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the battle report."
Dense text appeared on the holographic screen, which was the battle report of the Ordos incident.
In the middle, Jose circled a sentence:
"...Since the battle level is too high, Lord Li Yu has to take refuge away from the battlefield..."
In an instant, a lot of eyes were focused on Li Yu. It turned out that they were targeting Li Yu.
Li Yu looked calm, as he had expected it, and waited for the other party to perform.
Vimala frowned, and the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger. In fact, this incident was partly caused by her wanting to kill Li Yu.
But the situation later went beyond her control.
Thinking about this, she said coldly: "Consul Jose, what exactly do you want to say?"
Jose sneered at Li Yu: "I want to say that Commander Elton is not dead, in fact... he was imprisoned by Duke Li Yu to conceal the truth!"
"What!?"
"Elton is not dead!?"
"The truth? What truth?"
“…”
When these words were spoken, many high-ranking officials in the hall were confused. There was too much information for them to digest.
Alexei sat in the corner, blinking his eyes, quickly sorting out the context and making some vague guesses.
There was such a good show today, he is worthy of being the big brother, one-hit kill...
He showed a gloating smile, but looking at Li Yu who was still calm, he suddenly felt that this matter would not be so simple.
When Li Yu faced these two sentences, he only had four words in his mind: "Nonsense."
"Duke Li Yu, don't be in a hurry to deny it. It will be bad if you get slapped in the face later." Jose was confident of winning and looked around:
"I know this is too bizarre and you may not believe it, so I have a video here."
He waved his hand again, and Elton's figure suddenly appeared on the holographic screen and began to speak: "...Everyone, I'm Elton, you probably all thought I was dead..."
Many senior executives looked at each other in surprise. Is Elton really not dead? Holy shit... Today we finally saw a big drama.
“…”
As Elton spoke, everyone's faces kept changing, especially when he talked about Li Yu crushing the other four A-level life forms.
Some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is it possible? At that time, Baron Li Yu should have been only a B-level life form."
Even though the overall situation was extremely unfavorable to Li Yu, everyone was still surprised by his fighting ability.
There was no video footage of the battle at that time, but Elton was a good speaker and his narration was very vivid. Perhaps he had imagined this scene countless times.
"...He arrested me and imprisoned me with his guards. I escaped only a month ago..."
As Elton finished his story, the conference hall fell into deathly silence.
Hiding the [Apostle] and detaining high-level commanders of Guixing are not ordinary accusations. In serious cases, it can even be said to be a betrayal of civilization.
"So, I request to restart the investigation into the Ordos incident." Jose said in a deep voice.
It is not possible to kill Li Yu directly now. We must follow the procedures, set up a special investigation team, collect evidence, submit it to the Supreme Court, and then we can have a trial.
Vimala never thought that he would be so overwhelmed by the war in Borderland, and then something like this would happen on the other side.
Klein's big eyes were filled with worry, but she didn't care too much whether the story was true or not.
"Duke Li Yu, do you have anything to say?" Vimala was furious when she saw the calm and composed Li Yu.
Could you please clean your hands? Why lock Elton up? Why not just kill him?
Although she didn't know what exactly happened at that time, the Ordos incident was indeed full of doubts, so she believed that what Elton said was true.
" No ..." Li Yu shook his head and sneered, "You want me to explain based on just a video? Then isn't my status as a duke too cheap?"
That’s right, what Jose played was just a video, not even a live broadcast.
Some senior executives nodded when they heard this. It was indeed true. It was too simplistic to want to accuse Li Yu based on just a video.
Many of their negative information was all over the interstellar Internet, but now they are doing fine.
"I expected you to say that..." Jose sneered. They had Elton in their control but didn't want to use him directly.
Instead, it gradually eroded Li Yu's psychological defenses. It seemed that the Duke 's psychological defenses were much stronger than he imagined.
The better. The stronger you are now, the harder you will collapse later.
Titus looked at Li Yu's calm eyes and vaguely felt something unusual.
Li Yu must know that Elton has escaped. If that's the case, isn't he nervous at all seeing Elton fall into his hands now?
Jose continued, "Everyone, a few days ago, Mr. Elton found... me, and after I knew the truth of the matter, I conducted a series of verifications under the witness of General Ethel."
He then posted a series of test certificates.
Found the real Elton! ?
Many people's faces changed slightly. This was really well prepared if it was proved that the other party was indeed Elton.
This accusation may be confirmed, leading to the launch of a special investigation.
Seeing everyone's gazes nodded and said, "Yes, Elton's identity can be confirmed."
General Essel's confirmation, coupled with numerous test results, made the atmosphere in the entire conference hall become weird again.
They played the video first even though there was a real person involved, and deliberately let Li Yu deny it first. They were determined to slap Li Yu's face until it was swollen. They have a really evil heart.
This sentence appeared in the minds of many senior executives.
The corners of Jose's mouth curled up, and Elton's holographic projection appeared in the center of the hall.
His face was slightly excited, and he looked around at the many senior executives, as well as Li Yu, who was the one he remembered most.
Vimala took a deep breath and ignored Klein's pleading look. Li Yu himself was not perfect, and there was nothing she could do to make up for it in this situation.
What a good chess piece, what a pity...
She looked at Elton with a cold expression, "Elton, are the accusations against Duke Li Yu in the video just now true?"
Elton waited for this sentence for an unknown period of time. When he calmed down and was about to speak, his eyes suddenly flickered, and then he shook his head and said:
"What charges? I don't know..."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the venue, and many senior executives widened their eyes.
Holy shit… there’s a twist! ?
Today’s meeting was not in vain!
Jose's smug expression froze on his face, Titus's face suddenly darkened, Alexei's breathing stagnated slightly, but the next moment he smiled even more brightly.
There was a gleam of hope in Klein's beautiful eyes, while Vimala frowned slightly.
A smile appeared on Li Yu's calm face.
