Chapter 513: Returning and Suppressing the Situation Along the Way
"Excuse me, what do you mean by Horus killed the guard team and escaped by force?" Titus stared at the man in the shadow, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.
"About seven hours ago, you told me that Horus had died in your ambush, and not a single bone was left."
"Only seven hours later, he was resurrected!?"
The other party whispered, "Something unexpected happened. The information you gave me was incomplete. Horus has a special ability that no one knows about. He used his last breath to kill the watcher."
"Is that the question I'm asking?" Titus said angrily, like a mad lion. "Why is he still alive? Why did you take him away secretly without telling me?!"
"What on earth do you want to do!?"
Titus was filled with rage. The plan was clearly going smoothly. They ambushed Horus, killed him by force, and then coordinated with public opinion to create a situation where Klein's orders were inappropriate.
This was followed by a series of action plans to shake Klein's rule and gradually undermine her prestige.
However, the plan went awry at the first step.
Horus, who was supposed to be dead, came back to life not long ago and even escaped.
"Your Highness Titus, we naturally have our considerations. The failure of the plan is not solely our fault." The other party shook his head and his voice turned cold.
"I'll say it again, the information you gave me is wrong. Horus has another ability that is beyond his control."
"Also, Your Highness... I hope you understand that we, the Black Network, are not your subordinates, but your collaborators. You should control your temper."
Titus' pupils were bloodshot, he was panting like a cow, and he stared at the person in front of him.
Once upon a time, this group of people from the black network could only be respectful in front of him, but now they dare to threaten him secretly!
The reason why the Black Network Organization supports him is to allow Titus to ascend to the position of ruler after the Battle of Return Star.
Then, with the help of Guixing as a springboard, the black network will be restored to its peak glory.
However, as Klein came to power, Titus' value continued to decline.
If Klein hadn't had an alien camp betting behind him, it would have been basically impossible for him to accept them. The Black Network Organization had long been too lazy to play games with Titus here and had directly switched sides.
Titus looked gloomy. In order to avoid the news leaking, this matter could only be done secretly with the help of the black network.
This also leads to the black network being fearless in this matter. If it is exposed, it will damage its interests.
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of sadness in his heart. When Klein first came to power, many people were secretly contacting each other and were ready to support the king.
As long as he gives the order, the entire Guixing will probably be split into two.
However, as time passed, in just over two months, his power was shrinking due to the tactics of Klein and Vimala.
Some of the less steadfast followers have begun to waver.
What's even more sad is that even if he wants to start a civil war now, his chances of winning are slim.
There are still many high-ranking royal family members who secretly support him. If he wants to start a civil war and damage his fundamental interests, those who support him will probably abandon him directly.
It is even less likely that the black network organizations will invest more resources into the quagmire of the Guixing civil war.
The root cause of all this is because of that guy——
Li Yu!
If he hadn't acted as a middleman, the alien camp would not have supported Klein.
Prestige, fame, strength...
In the end, it’s better to be born beautiful?
Titus thought of some jokes circulating on the Black Hole Network, and his mentality changed further.
The man hiding in the shadows did not notice that Titus was undergoing some mental transformation. He just felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little stiff. In consideration of the overall interests, he softened his voice and said:
"Your Highness, you don't have to be too angry. Although he has seized the escort ship, we have sent people to hunt him down. He won't be able to get too far in a short time."
"We have secretly blocked several departments nearby. Please rest assured that the overall plan can still run smoothly."
"The sudden death of Horus has caused quite a stir, and some middle and lower-level military officers have reacted strongly..."
Titus's expression calmed down, as if he had accepted this reality.
There are only a few reasons why the Black Web organization did not kill Horus.
Keep Horus so that he can restrain Titus in the future, or maybe he thinks Horus still has great value.
After all, Horus is an A4-level life form, so even if he is sold, he can be sold for a lot of money.
"Let's proceed according to the established plan. I don't want any more accidents to happen." Titus said indifferently.
"Don't worry..." The other party bowed slightly and retreated into the darkness.
…
“It’s dropped to 26%, which is much better than I thought. But this is just the beginning. It should continue to fall…”
Li Yu glanced at the [Outline of Takinism]. The first thing he did after coming out of Yuxu Palace was to check the impact of this incident.
In fact, the impact of this incident was far greater than he had imagined.
Mainly the Star Empire, which also issued a memorial announcement not long ago, saying that Horus was a rare general and it was a pity that he died in suppressing internal rebellion.
His words even hinted that this result was caused by the small number of fleets equipped by Guixing's top leaders.
The Xingyao Empire was obviously just there to watch the fun and add fuel to the fire.
The citizens of Kegui Star couldn’t understand it, but some people got excited when they saw it. What the hell, this was a top general admired by the Xingyao Empire, and he just died like that?
Suddenly, all kinds of conspiracy theories spread, and there were even rumors that Horus was forced to death by Li Yu.
The argument turned out to be that this huge military force would block Li Yu's promotion and prestige, which was really far from the truth.
The newspaper that published this news was closed down the next day, but its registered legal representative had already left Guixing.
Numerous rumors are spreading rampantly, and there is obviously someone behind the scenes pushing them. The early stages of the regime change were already turbulent, and now it is even more chaotic.
"Can't I just have a day or two of peace..." Li Yu shook his head, closed the interstellar network, and opened the message Klein sent him.
Klein had contacted him a long time ago, but she was in Yuxu Palace and had not received any news for the time being. She basically asked him to reply as soon as possible.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately started a video call. The beeping sound didn't last too long and the signal was connected.
The first sound that came out was not Klein's voice, but an indistinguishable cacophony of noises, all sorts of sounds coming one after another, like a symphony...
The camera changed direction three or four times before it was aimed at Klein. She looked a little haggard, with a frown on her face, and a melancholy and sadness that was difficult to dispel.
As her mentor, Horus had been with her for a long time, although some things happened later that caused a rift in their relationship.
However, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings at all. The sudden death of Horus dealt a heavy blow to Klein.
However, when she saw Li Yu, she still forced a slight smile.
“Everyone, get out…” Klein ordered. The noise around him gradually faded away and eventually became silent.
Klein's lips were tight, and Li Yu could clearly see some blue veins on her slender neck, which was a sign of her trying her best to control herself.
Klein's inner sadness is much deeper than she shows.
"Cry if you want to..." Li Yu sighed softly. Finally, Klein's eyes quickly turned red and his body trembled slightly. After a long time, he uttered a word:
"Horus is my teacher after all..."
Li Yu felt a little emotional. Old man He, your death was not in vain. Klein at least shed a few tears for you.
When the news of Horus' death first came, Li Yu used the [Eye of Hydra] to peek.
However, Horus' limbs were mutilated at that time, and there was no imprisonment measures. It was most likely a corpse, but no one knew where he was being transported.
In this situation, no amount of comfort will be of any use.
"Whoever did this, I'll kill him."
Li Yu's simple words had extraordinary magic. Klein was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down and shook his head.
"I can't find out. I can only say that the enemy's ambush force is beyond imagination. According to some battle videos, there are two A4-level lives, plus a Titan magic weapon that I have never seen before."
This lineup is indeed luxurious, Li Yu was silent, no wonder Horus didn't escape.
"Horus realized there was no chance of escape, and in the middle of the battle, he had already dispersed most of the fleet."
In this situation, they have encountered an enemy that is too powerful to defeat. Continuing to resist will only increase casualties. It is better to disband the fleet and let as many people as possible escape.
Klein added: "Your men are fine . Horus asked them to leave early."
"Oh?" Li Yu was a little surprised. He knew that Klein was talking about the Twelve Golden Immortals. Horus actually let them leave early?
Horus, you made me a little touched.
He had previously thought that the Twelve Golden Immortals were buried with Horus.
Perhaps Horus originally thought that there was no point in staying and it would be better to leave, but the result was good after all.
"Are there no suspicious targets?" Li Yu asked.
“Based on the current clues, we can’t find any traces…” Klein shook his head, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and then said, “However, my intuition suggests that it might be Titus.”
Li Yu thought for a moment, but did not comment. He then said, "I have almost finished dealing with things here, and will be preparing to return home immediately."
"Oh, there's something I might need to trouble you with."
“What’s going on?” Klein asked.
"Can you get me some top genetic research experts? I'll need them for a while."
The purpose of calling in experts in genetics is naturally to modulate the genetic chain of the gods. The more people there are, the faster the progress will be.
With your back to the star of return, it would be a waste if you don’t use it.
"No problem." Klein nodded . Since Li Yu needed it, he could just use it. It wasn't a big deal. It was just that someone would come up and ask who was in charge of Guixing.
She is used to it.
Klein's decisiveness made Li Yu somewhat embarrassed, and then he asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Klein thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Due to the sudden death of Horus, the southern territory, which had been suppressed, is showing signs of chaos again..."
"The southern territory happens to be on my way back, so I'll just deal with it and bring those men back with me." Li Yu took over the conversation without giving it much thought.
However, Klein was still a little worried: "But I'm worried that the guys who ambushed Horus haven't left yet. If you run into them, I'm afraid..."
"Then let's just kill them..." Li Yu said without hesitation.
Klein said sadly: "Teacher Horus would be very pleased if he knew that you are willing to avenge him."
"Haha..." Li Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not doing this for that old guy Horus."
Facing Klein's puzzled gaze, Li Yu smiled brightly, "Who made them make you sad?"
It's just because those guys killed Horus and made you sad that I want to kill those people.
For a moment, Klein's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look Li Yu in the eye. The lethality of this sentence was quite strong.
Even though the two had sparred several times and knew each other's strengths and weaknesses, Klein still couldn't take it anymore.
"Yes... I understand. Someone will contact you regarding the information about the southern territory. I have something else to do..."
She hung up the phone in a hurry, took a long breath, and stroked her face with her white hands. She could feel a little hot, her heart beat a little faster, and the corners of her mouth were unnaturally upturned.
"Cough cough..." She realized her own loss of composure, coughed twice, took a deep breath, and focused her eyes slightly. She restored her image of a cold and elegant queen, and asked all her subordinates to come back and start handling government affairs.
…
On the other side, Li Yu has already gotten the general situation. The current situation in the southern territory is very special.
The original rebel group had been killed by Horus.
However, after Horus' death, a rebel organization that had never appeared before quickly began to contact the remnants and brought in several looting groups from outside.
Then a joint fleet was formed, with a temporary commander named Cord Nelson.
This guy appeared in Interstellar for the first time. I couldn't find any information about him. He is very mysterious.
The purpose of this mob is not really to oppose oppression.
The purpose was to reap enough benefits during the period after Horus' death and before the arrival of the new commander, and then withdraw quickly.
Nelson...
Li Yu roughly understood that since this guy could quickly raise this rebel fleet after Horus' death, he must be related to the organization that ambushed Horus.
Thinking of this, his eyes flickered and he sent a message to Klein.
