Chapter 694: Lehmann explodes! Counterattack against all odds?
When the attack occurred, Lehmann had filtered out suspicious persons in his mind many times.
The most likely ones are the forerunners, followed by some crazy guys, and he even put the terrifying life forms on the list.
But the possibility of Li Yu as a suspect is very low on the list, or even basically impossible.
Even though Long Zun had a history of attacking other civilization action leaders, Lehman still did not raise his level of suspicion.
Although the news that the A-level alliance and Dragon Lord are colluding with terrifying life forms has caused a sensation in the interstellar space, it is essentially just a confrontation of means.
There is no need to attack him at all. It is too costly to gain or too uneconomical.
It is simply impossible to use Leman as a threat to force the Star Empire to surrender.
Apart from the fact that the Forerunner was venting his anger, there was no need for Long Zun to launch an attack.
But now, the scene before his eyes filled Lehmann with confusion.
"Why!?" He couldn't help but ask, "Because I found out that you were colluding with a terrifying life form!?"
The [Symbiotic Suit] covering the surface of his body was removed, and Li Yu revealed his true face. He looked at Lehman who was extremely puzzled and said:
"You still don't say it's a false accusation. It seems that you still think there's a chance of escaping from my hands?"
He could probably guess what Lehman was thinking. Even if he caught him, he thought his life was not in danger.
He simply wants to use his identity to do something, so he cannot reveal any flaws to avoid weakening his natural bargaining chips.
Lehman speculated that their conversation might be being recorded, and if he really said something false, the recording would soon appear in the interstellar space.
For no reason, we lost the bargaining chip in the next confrontation.
There was nothing wrong with his idea, but he might find it difficult to guess Li Yu's true thoughts.
The system cannot be deceived. It is impossible for him to create a fake Lehman execution and then return the real one to the Star Empire.
This method may be able to deceive ordinary interstellar citizens, but unfortunately it will not work on the system.
This also means that Lehman's death is a foregone conclusion.
"You don't have to be so strict. If something happens next, it will naturally clear my name."
Li Yu shook his head. Once the news of his arrest and public execution of Lehman got out, the false accusation against him would naturally disappear.
Although most Star Citizens easily follow public opinion, it does not mean that they are brainless.
They couldn't imagine that someone who had truly colluded with terrifying life forms would capture the candidate for heir to the empire and then use execution to prove his innocence.
This is crazy!
Li Yu was accused of colluding with terrorist life forms. Others could punish him, but the Star Empire would never let it go if Lehman was executed.
It's like a star citizen was framed for stealing something, but ended up killing the head of the civilization to prove his innocence.
No matter what kind of punishment the latter will face, at least no one will believe the former's accusation.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lehman frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling that things might not develop in the direction he expected.
"The benefits you can get from me are limited. Once you initiate negotiations with the Star Empire, my status will plummet and my value will be greatly reduced." Lehman said in a deep voice, suppressing his inner irritation.
The dilemma he faces now is the same as Lloyd faced then.
Once the news of his capture reaches the top of the empire, he will instantly change from a potential candidate to heir to the emperor to an imperial aristocrat with a record of being captured.
So he wanted to try his best to avoid this from happening.
"I can promise you that I will remove the charges against you and allow the A-level alliance to develop safely for a period of time."
This was the price he could offer, and he thought it was already generous.
Lehman said in a deep voice: "If you negotiate with the Empire, what you get in the end won't even be as much as I can give you."
Li Yu looked at Lehman. These heirs of the empire were quite outstanding and could quickly respond to the current situation.
pity……
He shook his head and said, "No, I don't need your promise. My crime and the A-level alliance have nothing to do with you anymore."
Leman took a deep breath, and the pent-up anger in his heart began to erupt. His pupils were full of bloodshot, and he said angrily: "Are you crazy? The Star Empire is not just one person, and the Emperor is not an ordinary father."
"It's impossible for him to pay a big price for me!"
"You're wrong." Li Yu shook his head: "My target is not the Xingyao Empire, but you. Well... you can understand it as I have a reason to capture you."
Lehman felt an indescribable sense of absurdity in his heart, just like his good brother Lloyd felt when he heard this.
He is the candidate for succession to the Starry Empire and has a bright future. Even if he cannot become the emperor, he will become the backbone of the Starry Empire in the future.
The reason why we had to arrest him?
What is this!?
I am the candidate for succession to the empire!
boom!
A blazing purple beam of light rose from Lehman's body and went straight into the sky. The dimensional force suppressing him was suddenly bounced away.
Li Yu was somewhat stunned. Feeling the surging aura so close, he asked incredulously, "Evolved?"
Yes, Lehmann exuded an A5-level aura, and his emotions were greatly oppressed and humiliated.
In this situation, the ability to save the superpowers that were on the verge of transformation evolved completely and entered the top level of the interstellar.
"The villain talks a lot, the protagonist suddenly breaks out, and in the end he fights back against the will of heaven ..." Li Yu murmured words with unclear meanings.
Bang!
A figure suddenly rushed out from the purple beam of light. Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his hand to block it. A huge force came crashing down, creating a terrifying shock wave all around.
boom!
Li Yu pulled out with his backhand, shattering the numerous barriers like slapping a fly.
Lehman was knocked flying like a falling meteor, creating a crater-like hole.
The shock wave burst out, and with Lehman as the center, the pale earth cracked into cracks that extended to the end of the sight.
puff!
Blood oozed from every pore on Lehman's body, instantly staining his clothes red.
Severe pain swept through every nerve, and before he could catch his breath, he saw a flash of light in the air.
Lehman quickly jumped up and stepped back. The next moment, he saw a thick beam of light piercing into the pale earth.
The ground suddenly cracked and bulged, like a mountain rising from the ground, and then exploded with a loud bang!
Boom! !
The surging aftermath spread rapidly, and even though Lehman had generated layers of shields, the shock wave still blew him away.
He had just flown into the air when Li Yu, who had caught up with him, punched him back to the ground, breaking countless bones.
Although Lehman has entered the A5 level, unfortunately he has just entered it, and his combat energy level is at most over 100 million, which is still too low.
In front of Li Yu who was firing at full power, he was as weak as a child and had no power to fight back.
The situation was a complete crushing defeat, Lehmann could only struggle to survive while being beaten!
Lehman dragged his injured and tired body and struggled again and again, but was suppressed by Li Yu every time.
Like a poor creature being cruelly tortured, he tried again and again to crawl out of the room, but could never reach the door and was constantly grabbed by the heels and dragged back.
The gap in strength is too big, Lehmann can't make any waves.
As several beams of light pierced his chest, Lehman could no longer hold on and fell to the devastated, pale ground. Blood gushed out and soon formed a pool of blood.
Li Yu slowly landed beside Lehman, only to see that Lehman had not given up the desire to survive.
He crawled with his broken body, leaving a glaring red mark on the ground. He raised his head with difficulty and stared at Li Yu viciously.
“…Don’t bother.”
Li Yu shook his head and sighed, then bent down, grabbed Lehman's neck and lifted him up.
Lehman's feet were in the air, he was too weak to struggle, he stared at Li Yu, his eyes revealing a strong unwillingness.
He is the candidate for heir to the empire and has a bright future. He is full of expectations for the future.
He still has a bright future, looking down at the universe, his potential is limitless!
But it seems that all this will turn into nothing.
He even became an A5-level life form in this predicament, but still couldn't change anything.
He couldn't accept it, and was even more unwilling to accept it!
Purple light burst out from his body and energy began to run wild.
Li Yu's eyes moved slightly, and his other hand slowly raised. Lehman felt that his own energy was slowly being sucked away by a miniature pump and was soon exhausted.
"I almost forgot my supernatural power..." Li Yu raised his hand, and the purple energy was like a small sun, which was directly thrown into his mouth as a reserve of physical strength.
Li Yu threw Lehman out casually, and a cage suddenly appeared on the open space not far away, which looked very old.
However, as soon as Lehman entered, he felt that his own strength was suppressed invisibly and it was difficult to exert it.
"Can you tell me what you are going to do to me?" Lehman whispered, exuding an aura of decadence.
"Not for now, but don't worry, you will know soon." Li Yu said with a smile.
Capturing Lehmann was just the beginning, he would then need to build momentum to meet the requirements for [execution].
Although Lehmann has his own traffic, if he wants to achieve the best, he still needs preparation and groundwork.
…
"Lehman's escort fleet has lost contact. Have they all disappeared?" The Emperor's eyes were filled with golden flames, and his body involuntarily exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
"Yes..." In front of him was Loren's virtual projection. He frowned slightly and said, "In the first section of the Tarov Channel, when we found that the fleet had lost contact, we immediately sent support."
"It took only ten minutes for the nearest legion to arrive at the location, but there was nothing there."
Escort fleets of Leman's level are always connected to the empire's highest intelligent system, and when they lose signal link, emergency response measures have been initiated.
He added: "Lehman's guard is Shield Mountain - Talai, whose combat energy level is close to 50,000. He couldn't even delay the enemy for a few minutes. The enemy's strength level is probably very high."
"No clues? Where is the Mirror of Omniscience?" asked the Emperor.
"The Mirror of Omniscience..." Loren hesitated for a moment before saying, "That area seems to have been reset. The Mirror of Omniscience can't even find any traces of battle."
"Reset..." The Emperor repeated these three words.
Loren nodded: "Yes, since we have found a weak range of space-time distortion, it should be that the time in that area has been disrupted."
"Gather the others." The emperor has regained his composure, his eyes calm.
Soon, the top eight members of the Star Empire gathered again, and the new Mogan was born.
He doesn't look young, and unlike his predecessor, he doesn't talk much and spends more time observing.
"Lehman is missing and should have been caught." The emperor looked around and announced this breaking news.
Except for Loren, the expressions of other noble rulers suddenly changed, and they all showed some surprise.
They knew that a temporary meeting must be due to an emergency, but they didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.
Then, Loren stood up and roughly explained the situation.
"Forerunners?" Tallamar frowned and said, "I'm afraid they are the only ones who would be so crazy."
Mozambique agreed: "It is very likely. We had thought about it before, but we didn't expect them to act so quickly. I thought they would continue to lie dormant."
"Not sure yet..." Loren shook his head and said, "Everyone, let's pass on the order. Search the route along the way first and block all star gates. It shouldn't be that easy for them to escape."
“It’s hard to say… There is a person who can come and go freely.” Mogan suddenly spoke, causing the scene to fall silent.
"Dragon Lord?" Loren's expression remained unchanged: "There is insufficient motive for committing the crime. The possibility that he would have done it is less than 10%."
Morgan did not refute, he just provided such a possibility. After careful analysis, there was indeed no need for Long Zun to take action.
"Should we make this public?" asked the weak Sissoko. He looked in very bad condition and might die at any time.
Loren said calmly, "I suggest not to do that for now. This is an attack launched within the empire. If word gets out, I'm afraid it will have a very bad impact."
Sissoko shook his head: "I can't keep it secret for too long..."
"How long can you delay it?"
The emperor spoke slowly: "Go and investigate. No matter who it is, they will pay the price at all costs!"
