Chapter 625 Fishing
Beyeler opened his eyes dazedly , and what he saw was a metal ceiling with a special pressed pattern that was full of industrial wildness.
He vaguely recalled what happened before, and the last image before he lost consciousness was a purple fist hitting him.
He could feel blood oozing out of the wounds on his body.
On the metal ground, it transformed into several winding red snakes, gathering into a pool of blood.
He was forced to lie on the ground, covered in wounds and blood.
Beneath his body was a huge mechanical back panel that glowed with a faint blue light and slowly rose up with the sound of gears turning.
His hands, feet and torso were bound by heavy black alloy rings, which were some kind of special mechanical shackles with an extremely strong energy interference field that suppressed his strength.
At the same time, a pipe extended from the mechanical back panel, inserted into his spine, and injected special medicine.
It interferes with his cell activity internally and causes his nerves to become disordered, affecting his ability to control his body.
Beyeler's strength is not low. He can be Mark's confidant. He possesses a powerful combat power of A4 level, which has surpassed 99% of life forms in the interstellar.
Imprisoning him in this way is not a waste of talent.
As the mechanical back panel rose, his eyes gradually looked around. This was a laboratory. The mechanical arm next to him was holding some special instrument to scan his entire body.
Not far away was the figure of Long Zun, who was now facing away from him, looking up at the data on the screen.
"I feel honored that the famous Dragon Lord would ambush a small figure like me." Bayele's tone was full of sarcasm.
In the current situation, the only possibility is death, and the other party will not let him go. He does not have such a fantastic idea.
"As Mark's confidant, you have some value and are not a small figure." Li Yu shook his head.
"Haha, don't let your wishful thinking get you there. I will never betray the leader!" Bayele shouted angrily, "I, Bardos, have gone through countless hardships to reach this point. I will never be destroyed by you!"
In this ethnic civilization, most people have a natural loyalty to their leader.
This is especially true for people like Beyeler who has been following Marc for many years.
"You misunderstood. I didn't ask you to betray Mark. I was even planning to give Mark a big gift." Li Yu turned around and smiled warmly.
At this moment, a noisy voice sounded in the room: "Master, the target's body data has been scanned. You can perform the mimicry. I will remind you next to you."
"Okay." Li Yu nodded, and then his body changed in Beyeler's angry eyes. His ears gradually became pointed, ripples appeared in his pupils, and his skin turned blue-purple.
The most important thing was that his right hand turned red, which made Beyeler's pupils shrink.
His right hand is scarlet, which is the symbol of his race. The Bardos race is born with the ability to control telekinesis, and the ripples in their pupils are the concrete manifestation of this.
Beyeler is even more special. When he was young, he traveled across the stars and once set foot on the ruins of an ancient civilization.
He obtained a tube of special genetic medicine, which caused his right hand to mutate and possess special abilities. It could change shape at will and contained a destructive energy.
This made him famous and earned him the name of a crazy butcher.
"Master, your height will increase by another 1.65 centimeters, your ears will move back by 0.3 centimeters, and the third pupil wave will move 0.5 millimeters toward the center..."
At Xiao Chaonao's reminder, Li Yu's appearance was fine-tuned.
"You want to become like me and get close to the leader!?" Beyeler guessed Li Yu's idea and sneered, "That's just wishful thinking. The leader can't fail to see it!"
A person's appearance is easy, but his inner aura, behavioral habits, and mental fluctuations are difficult to simulate unless special powers are used.
But Li Yu was obviously just using a simple mimicry appearance now, and he didn't even learn his behavioral habits. People who were familiar with him would think he was fake at first glance.
Li Yu ignored him and just kept making fine adjustments. This was a meticulous process and it took him nearly three hours to get the data completely consistent with Beyeler's.
"It's useless, you are wishful thinking!" Beyeler was still shouting loudly.
But the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious. The problems he could think of were definitely ones that Li Yu could not have thought of, but he still chose to do it.
The only possibility is that he has a way to hide it from Mark.
This made Beyeler's heart boil with emotions. If he was caught, it would cause irreparable harm to the leader.
This would be more painful for him than killing him directly.
At that moment, the mechanical door to the laboratory opened and the hunter walked in. He was stunned when he saw the two Beyelers.
But after a moment, he reacted, staring at Li Yu and said, "There's a reply from the Xingyao Empire. Their fleet has arrived at the designated location."
"Led by the Nabus Snakemen Corps, there are also seven Yao-star fleets and sixteen Yao-light fleets... The total size of the fleet has reached more than five million..."
"It's just a small army?" Li Yu was stunned and said with some dissatisfaction.
No wonder Lloyd was so evasive when he asked him before. It turned out that the fleet was too small and he was embarrassed to say it.
"Isn't this enough?" The hunter was stunned. After all, the Augustus fleet that he was proud of before was only a Yao-star fleet.
But he immediately realized that considering Li Yu's current size and the scale of the battlefield that was about to unfold, this number was indeed a little too small.
"Forget it. The Star Empire is so stingy. This just makes me feel less guilty." Li Yu muttered to the hunter, "I will disappear for a while. If Lloyd looks for me, just say that I am in seclusion researching weapons to counter the Abyss Research Institute."
"Okay." The hunter nodded. Li Yu was often mysterious and he was used to it.
Then he turned on the instrument, speeding up the flow of fluid in the tube inserted into Beyeler's spine.
Beyeler, who was still cursing, gradually lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
…
On the home planet of the Bados civilization, Mark was anxious, for he knew he was about to face a war.
But when will this war come? How strong will the enemy be? Where will the attack begin?
He knew nothing about it, like a slap in the butt that was about to fall on him, leaving him waiting in the dark for the pain to come.
This kind of torture is far more intense than the actual pain.
However, at this moment, the smart terminal on his arm vibrated slightly.
He looked down, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but stand up suddenly, with a fiery color blooming in his eyes.
"Very good!"
He hurried out of the office and intercepted his trusted subordinate, Beyeler, who was rushing over in the metal corridor.
"Have you really found out the location of the Star Empire's fleet?!"
He looked quite excited, which was extremely rare for a civilized ruler, but given the current situation, he could not help but be excited.
"Yes, Chief..." Bayele lowered his head and said, "I have an old acquaintance in the Star Empire. I spent some money to determine the location and size of the Star Empire fleet."
"I have confirmed that there are indeed some small patrol ships near that place. I did not go close to avoid alerting them."
While speaking, Beyeler opened his smart terminal and called up several pictures and data.
"Great!" Mark patted Beyeler on the shoulder: "You did a great job."
As expected of my confidant, he is very efficient.
Although the Beyeler in front of him made him feel a little strange, due to the influence of special powers, this strange feeling was thrown out of his mind in the blink of an eye.
Turn to determine the specific information of the intelligence.
"The Nabus Snakemen Corps is just an ordinary colonial corps. How could the Star Empire want to attack us with them as its leader?"
Mark showed a slightly puzzled expression. He also felt that the force dispatched by the Star Empire was a little weak.
A colonial legion, and not even a top-level colonial legion like the Troll Legion. It is just an ordinary legion and not very famous.
Even with the assistance of other fleets, with just these forces, it would be difficult to even take down the Bados civilization, let alone go to war with the Forerunners.
Could it be that the main attacking force is the camp from another dimension?
Mark thought that compared to the Star Empire, there was no trace of the mysterious alien camp.
"Forget it, now that we have found the fleet of the Star Empire, let's start with it." Mark's eyes narrowed slightly. He was not an indecisive person. Since the other party had made it clear that they were ready, he would not surrender.
"Mobilize the fleet, Beyeler, follow me to destroy this fleet!"
Beyeler, that is, Li Yu who sneaked in using the Black Widow, was slightly nervous when he heard the words. Damn, I didn't throw out the bait of the Star Empire to let you take the bait.
"Chief, I have a suggestion," he began.
"Oh?" Mark paused and looked at Beyeler.
"I heard that this time Li Yu and the Star Empire joined forces, and their main target was not us." He whispered.
Mark frowned slightly. He has always been very taboo about the existence of the Forerunners and was unwilling to discuss this matter with his men.
But since Beyeler had just made a great contribution, he didn’t want to scold him too much, so he said calmly: “So…”
"Since we are not the main target, why should we act as the main force? At least, we can't let some people just stand by and watch."
Marc was a little uncomfortable with Beyeler's tone of voice, but he didn't care. Instead, his expression changed slightly.
Yes, the other party’s main target is the forerunners, and they are just a bonus.
Now that they have discovered the Star Empire fleet, the Bados civilization is eager to ambush them. What if the forerunners don't want to fight and just withdraw? Wouldn't they be in trouble?
The cooperation between the two is an exchange of interests. Although the rise of the Bados civilization depends on the other party, Mark has not relaxed his vigilance against the forerunners.
To ambush the Star Empire fleet, the Forerunners must be involved!
Beyeler's words reminded him that since the war was about to begin, the forerunners could no longer sit idly by.
If they are unwilling to join this battle, Mark doesn't mind switching sides directly!
Thinking of this, Mark's expression eased, and he said to Beyeler, "You reminded me very well. I was a little impatient during this period, and I almost didn't notice it. "
Marc was not a tyrant. Instead, he was very kind to his subordinates and willing to accept different opinions. Otherwise, Beyeler would not have been so loyal.
"It's all the fault of that damned Dragon Lord and the Star Empire." Li Yu echoed a few words.
"Well, I will handle this matter. I will still let you lead the team at that time. Don't let me down!" Mark's tone contained deep expectation.
Li Yu was speechless, his expression solemn, and he nodded heavily.
This was his real plan. It was all bullshit compared to what he had discussed with Lloyd before. He was too lazy to even think about those so-called "plans" in his mind.
The key to this war is to determine the location of the Forerunner base within the territory of the Bardos civilization.
If Li Yu didn't know this, no matter how many tricks he had, it would be useless.
But Mark was a rather cautious guy, and he always contacted the Forerunners individually. The top leaders of his tribe didn't even know the names of the forces behind them.
So Li Yu came up with this plan and took Lloyd to knock on Mark's door, causing him to panic.
A series of actions will inevitably be taken afterwards, and gathering intelligence is one of them.
As long as he lets the people of the Star Empire keep an eye on his trusted subordinates, Li Yu can take action directly and replace them.
Then he brought the coordinates of the Star Empire’s fleet and delivered the bait.
Since he couldn't find the Forerunners' base, he could only let the Forerunners come out of the base.
The only thing that almost went wrong was that Mark was actually planning to ambush the Star Empire's fleet himself.
Fortunately, this guy was willing to listen to advice and was persuaded by him.
The next step is to wait for Mark to notify the Forerunners, and then take action against the Star Empire’s fleet.
As for the Imperial Fleet that served as bait, all we can say is an apology.
In fact, the most perfect action plan for this plan should be to notify the Star Empire’s fleet in advance and then launch a reverse ambush.
But the problem now is that it’s not that Li Yu is unwilling to notify the Star Empire.
But the force dispatched by the Star Empire was too weak to launch any reverse ambush.
Nabus snakeman army?
Li Yu had never heard of this legion before. It was too ridiculous. His eyes flickered:
"Lloyd, are you ready to receive this surprise..."
