Chapter 635 Li Yu: I’m hooked!
"The Imperial Fleet suffered heavy losses, Lloyd, have you found out what happened?"
Lloyd was surrounded by blurry projections. It was not because of a bad signal or old equipment, but it was done on purpose so that he would not notice the expressions of the onlookers.
"Not yet..." Lloyd lowered his head, his lips tight, and did not explain anything to himself, such as suspecting Li Yu, but Li Yu did not show up at all.
This would only further expose his incompetence.
As the overall person in charge of the operation he has great power, but at the same time he is also responsible if anything goes wrong.
"Find out as soon as possible. The loss this time is not that big, but I don't want to know nothing." There was a warning in the emperor's voice.
Lloyd still lowered his head and said, "I understand."
"Don't let me down." The emperor added.
This was already a serious criticism. The Imperial fleet was inexplicably ambushed and suffered heavy losses.
The behavior of the Bardos civilization is tantamount to declaring war, and the normal response of the empire should be to fight back with force.
But everyone knows that this matter is led by the pioneers.
Their goal was originally to lead the Forerunners into a war with the alien dimensional camp.
If they deploy more troops now, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse and trapping themselves in this quagmire?
Their top priority now is the next Titan Temple, rather than trying to get involved with the Bardos civilization.
Therefore, they can only bear this loss temporarily.
"I hope Your Highness will remember that your mission is to start a war between the alien dimension camp and the Forerunners. Don't waste too much time on other things." Someone reminded.
Lloyd nodded: "I know, but..."
Having said that, he paused. He originally wanted to report on Li Yu’s recent strange whereabouts.
The success rate of the plan to contain the alien camp and the forerunners is already relatively low, and he wants to suggest that the Empire make an action plan to deal with the sudden insertion of these two forces.
But earlier, his subordinates suddenly reported that Li Yu had appeared and asked to meet Lloyd .
So he is now a little hesitant whether to speak this out.
Thinking of the emperor's previous harsh criticism, he pursed his lips and did not say what he was going to say next. Instead, he said, "Li Yu asked to meet me. I will go and deal with this matter first."
Lloyd 's projection gradually disappeared, and the people present had different expressions.
Loren was silent for a moment and then said, "Our people are already in place. According to the peak value of the information state detection, the materialization of the Titan Temple is less than ten days away."
"Have you prepared the action plan? Even if no one knows that the Titan Temple has materialized ahead of time, we cannot take it lightly." The Emperor said in a deep voice.
Loren said calmly: "We have made a three-level emergency plan, which can handle the sudden appearance of super life forms."
"Without the interference of the alien camp and the forerunners, we can rest assured given the current information gap."
"There is a high probability that the Thunder Armor is in the Bardos civilization. If the value of the Titan Temple is far greater than that of a single Titan artifact, we would not have put this bait in the alien camp." Morgan chuckled.
"No one can resist the temptation of the Titan artifact. They will definitely join in!"
"What's more, they had no idea that the Titan Temple would materialize ahead of time."
No one else reacted much to Morgan's optimistic estimate.
Before the dust settles, underestimating anyone may make them pay a heavy price.
This is the lesson that the long years of life have brought them.
…
"Your Highness Lloyd, I'm really sorry for what happened some time ago. I heard that the Imperial fleet was attacked. It was such a surprise." Li Yu said with a sad face.
Lloyd looked at the other party's performance indifferently, and said in a cold tone: "This incident has caused us heavy losses. The top management is furious and will send more people here soon."
"No one can let the empire suffer humiliation!"
Li Yu nodded in agreement and said, "Of course, of course. After my closed-door research during this period of time, I have developed a secret weapon to deal with the Abyss Research Institute."
"Next, I will make them pay the price!"
Lloyd frowned slightly, somewhat unsure of Li Yu's thoughts. He didn't believe in the existence of this secret weapon at all.
Moreover, the battle has not started yet, and the opponent can leave here at any time through the dimensional ship.
This made him very uneasy.
Then, he said casually: "In addition, we recently found out the latest news that the reason why the Forerunners and the Abyss Research Institute cooperated here is because they obtained the Titan artifact that once belonged to the Morton civilization - the Thunder Armor!"
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Yu pretended to be surprised, but he was actually complaining in his heart, this old guy saw that I hadn't taken any action, so he was getting anxious?
They started to spread the news deliberately.
"We're not too sure, but it's probably true," Lloyd said hesitantly.
In fact, he had previously released this news through the ambassador of the Morton civilization.
But Li Yu didn't know whether he was unsure or what, he seemed indifferent to it, so he could only stimulate directly.
"That's... a Titan artifact..." Li Yu sighed.
"That's right. It is precisely because of this news that the Empire is preparing to send more troops and must take this place!" Lloyd's tone was calm, and he spoke as if it were true.
"Okay, okay..." Li Yu agreed, but his face flickered.
Seeing this scene, Lloyd's mind finally relaxed. As long as he was interested, it was good.
"It will take some time for the Imperial fleet to arrive here. You must not act alone. It may be risky." Lloyd said hypocritically.
"I understand, I understand..." Li Yu agreed perfunctorily and then hurriedly said goodbye.
A day later, Lloyd's men hurried over to report: "Your Highness, something happened!"
"Li Yu went to the Bados civilization alone not long ago and just returned seriously injured. It is said that he was ambushed by unidentified people."
"What!?" Lloyd stood up suddenly, with an excited smile on his face, but he quickly restrained it and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
"That's for sure." The subordinate nodded, and then added, "Our people in the Bados civilization saw the battle with their own eyes. It was a large-scale battle that blew up several planets."
"Many unidentified people were chasing and intercepting Li Yu. If he hadn't had many tricks up his sleeve, he would have died there."
Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief; he finally took the bait.
Then, he straightened his clothes and said, "Come on, let's go and take a look."
"Damn the Bados civilization, I must destroy their entire civilization!" Li Yu's eyes were fierce, with various potions inserted into his body. He looked seriously injured, with fine cracks all over his body.
"What's going on?" Lloyd hurried over, looking concerned.
After seeing him come in, Li Yu's expression immediately calmed down a lot, and he said coldly: "Nothing, I was just about to go to the Bados civilization to investigate the news, and I was accidentally discovered."
Detective message?
I saw that you were going to steal the Thunder Armor. You are so brave that you actually dared to go there alone. Why didn’t I kill you there?
Lloyd secretly complained, but on the surface he sighed: "Don't underestimate them. You were a little reckless this time."
There was a hint of provocation and belittlement in his tone.
Li Yu glanced at him coldly: "Just a mere Abyss Research Institute, I will make them pay the price!"
"Lord Lloyd, if you are here to laugh at my joke, please go back."
Lloyd sighed, shook his head, got up and left.
Li Yu looked at the other party's departing back with a flicker in his eyes. The Star Empire still had to comfort the other party and let him know that he had fallen into their trap.
That's why he put on such a show.
What makes this scene so real is because of Mark.
He actually went to the Bados civilization and fought a fight. Otherwise, he would not have been able to deceive Lloyd.
The reason why Mark cooperated with him so well was related to another matter.
…
"So, you actually know nothing?" The man in front of him was wrapped in a white robe with blood-red patterns on it, and only a delicate arm stretched out.
"This was the scene when I came here." Mark was a little nervous because the so-called third pioneer in front of him exuded an aura that made him feel a little creepy.
His eyes were involuntarily attracted to the crystal clear balls held in the other person's palm.
They are of different colors and float quietly in the air, appearing to be motionless.
But Mark's eyesight was good enough to notice that they were actually moving slowly along a special trajectory, surrounding the golden sphere in the center.
The small beads on the outermost edge seemed to be disturbed by something when they were rotating. Their movement trajectory was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and they looked broken, as if something was shaking inside.
These things made Mark feel confused, but he still did not forget Li Yu's instructions, and then said:
"However, I met a survivor named Alfonso, who seemed to be a subordinate of Lord Alais. He left in a hurry, saying that he was tracking down the enemy."
"I've seen him before, so I didn't stop him."
By providing the other party with a suspect, you can remove yourself.
He has already met with Li Yu secretly, and the other party is willing to protect him and must cooperate with him in the next action.
However, he didn't know whether this method would work or not, and he was very nervous.
"Alfonso..." The other person looked down at the planet below, and the air bubble wrapped everyone in it.
"I see……"
Mark looked at the other person secretly, and when he saw that he didn't make any other moves, he was suddenly surprised and suspicious. Did he really believe that it was Alfonso's betrayal?
Thinking of this, Li Yu's young face appeared in front of him again. At that time, the other party patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I will help you handle everything. They will believe that the destruction of the base was due to Alfonso and has nothing to do with you."
He actually did it, making the Forerunners believe that the destruction of the base was due to Alfonso.
Mark was a little surprised and wondered what means Li Yu used.
In fact, the forerunners had no intention of eliminating the Bados civilization at all, because they knew clearly that the traitor was Alfonso.
It has little to do with Mark, but Mark doesn't know it and is worried about it, so he goes to Li Yu.
But Li Yu doesn't have to do anything because the "truth" is like this.
The other party was holding a few balls and slowly rotating them in front of Mark. They looked ordinary, but the surface was glowing with different colors, and the colors made Mark feel somewhat familiar.
He suddenly looked in another direction, his expression suddenly changed, his pupils contracted, as if he had discovered something, and then looked at the man holding a few small balls in his hand.
This... this is not a small ball, it is clearly an entire galaxy!
The broken ball on the outermost edge is obviously Parsca!
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Mark's forehead. He was convinced that this must not be a decoration.
It must have some inexplicable relationship with the galaxy in front of us.
The other party seemed to have discovered Mark's guess. He moved his hand slightly, and one of the black balls suddenly shifted its orbit and rushed to the edge.
Mark suddenly looked towards the black and desolate planet in this galaxy.
It was indeed seen to shift to the side, moving inexplicably, perhaps for several thousand kilometers, with disastrous consequences.
Under the influence of huge inertia, the crust on the surface of the rocky planet suddenly cracked, breaking into countless huge fragments as big as mountains, flying into space along the original direction of the planet's rotation.
A moment later, the originally complete planet had a layer of "skin" torn off.
It exposes its terrifying mantle, and countless huge crustal fragments, some of which become synchronized garbage in the planet's orbit, while others rush into space, flying farther and farther.
What kind of method is this? !
Mark was filled with doubt and confusion. He could destroy a planet, but using this method was too shocking.
"Li Yu and Lloyd are still in the Morton civilization, right?" he asked.
"Yes," he responded.
"Very good, no matter who is behind this, they will pay the price." He said faintly, and then, under Mark's horrified gaze, he suddenly clenched his fists and crushed all the small balls.
In an instant, the galaxy before our eyes seemed to be disturbed by an invisible force, and all the planets were forcibly squeezed to the center.
The collision between planets produced huge waves, the earth's crust cracked, and the continental plates were scattered, but they were tightly locked together.
Even the star in the center began to distort and deform.
The planets in this galaxy seem to be held together by an invisible pair of hands.
Red magma gushed out and flowed in the cracks. The huge irregular high-mass object spontaneously pulled the surrounding planetary fragments to condense, and then gradually condensed into a circle.
Perhaps after a long time, a new cosmic black hole will form here.
