[To survive, until we break through.]

Upon seeing the last instruction, which was both a command and a blessing, Mingmei pursed her lips, a helpless smile appearing on her face.

This time, her uncle really trusted her too much.

She looked through the mecha at the countless insectoids filling the sky, then turned her gaze to the Qilan Star beneath her. Her inner emotions were actually quite complex.

Qilan Star was just a place she briefly visited in her life, and she didn't even have much affection for it.

However, the magnificent night view, which was just last night, with its dazzling lights, skyscrapers, and bustling highways, and the lights of starships intertwined, has now been destroyed and left in ruins.

It's really painful to see yesterday's beauty crumble today.

Mingmei lowered her eyes, remained silent for a moment, then slowly let out a breath and asked, "Achen, shall we go?"

"Let's go, together."

Mu Chen, who had been silent the whole time, immediately responded to Mingmei after she spoke.

Mu Chen didn't know what Mingmei was doing during her silence just now. He himself had been silent, pondering why Yan Hui would entrust such a dangerous mission to Mingmei.

Did she anticipate that he would protect Mingmei no matter what?

How could Yan Hui dare to put Mingmei in such a dangerous position?

...

"We have received a message from the command on Qilan Star."

Jian Yunhe was unaware that the movement of personnel on the command side had suddenly increased. She was engrossed in following her senior as they disassembled supplies and loaded them into the spatial buttons of the mechs.

Instead of letting your mind wander, it's more practical to focus on getting things done.

Some things, the deeper the King of Yue thought about them, the more shocking they became.

She had thought she would later enter the mech and rush into Qilan Star with the battle starship, but she was caught off guard by some new instructions.

"What?"

When Jian Yunhe learned that she would not be piloting the mecha for the time being, but would instead stay in the battle starship, she was slightly taken aback. She looked at the others and saw that they seemed to be continuing with the original instructions, making her even more confused about what had happened.

"It's not that we won't drive at all, but rather we'll pretend we aren't, and then go out at the designated time and drive straight down, understand?" The deputy commander spoke quickly.

After learning that the other party had explained the entire plan and operation, Jian Yunhe silently digested it for a few seconds, confirming the amazing aspect of the last instruction.

She nodded slowly in confirmation, but said, "I understand... but why did you suddenly change your strategy?"

"The main thing is that the commander on Qilan Star has changed. We just need to follow orders. Don't think too much about anything else."

"good……"

Jian Yunhe nodded hesitantly. If she hadn't misread it, the deputy commander's face actually showed some doubt about Qilanxing's sudden change of strategy, right?

...

Fourth Army Corps Information Department

The information officer, who hadn't received any support messages, was bored out of his mind. He sat down and, taking advantage of the absence of others, started a massage. While getting a massage, he also watched the live stream of the battle on Qilan Star.

"Damn it! How come we're so close and no orders have been issued to requisition us to help?"

The informant, being of low status and with little influence, only dared to voice his complaints at times like this.

While grumbling, he read through all the comments on the screen that were cursing the Imperial Army.

"Right? I also think those guys have shit for brains. They don't send us rescue orders, and they even block other passing legions!"

Remembering the Fifth Legion that they had previously let pass through, the informant felt that they were now caught in the middle, caught between a rock and a hard place.

How are we supposed to get along with the Sixth Army in the future?

They were criticized by a bunch of people on the StarNet for inaction. Although no one directly criticized the Fourth Legion, weren't they also part of the inaction?

"Damn it!"

The informant, watching the brutal battle scene in the live stream, couldn't help but swear again.

Just as he was preparing to join the flame war with comments, he suddenly received an instruction.

"What the heck!?"

That was an order from the Imperial Military!

"My God!!! Thank God!!"

When the other party saw the order to have the Fourth Legion support Qilan Star, his eyes turned red with excitement. He completely ignored the fact that the format and wording of the order were very different from the usual ones, and got up, pushed open the door and ran out.

The informant ran while excitedly shouting, "Reinforcements! Reinforcements! The Fourth Legion is assembling to reinforce Qilan Star!!!"

He shouted, completely forgetting that all he had to do was copy and forward the order to the commander. He now wished he could run the entire base himself and proclaim it to the world in his slightly choked voice!

The Empire did not abandon the Sixth Legion, and their Fourth Legion did not stand idly by!

They're going to provide support right away!

...

On a planet on the border of the Lightfeather Starfield

Akabane sat in the bar, watching the live broadcast provided by the Federation intently, just like everyone else.

"Yes!"

Suddenly, the Pegasus beside him let out an excited roar, and Akabane almost spilled the drink he had ordered.

He glared at the guy who had been tinkering with his personal terminal with his head down the whole time, and was about to punch him from behind when Pegasus suddenly looked up, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "I did it! I did it!"

"What did you succeed at?"

Akabane tilted his head, sized up Pegasus, and said, "You got your hands on a combat starship? Planning to fly to Qilan Star like a moth to a flame to save your boss whom you've never even met?"

"You're really rude." Pegasus pouted, but then, as if he was so happy about something, he couldn't help but share what he had done with the other person.

Hearing about Pegasus's actions, Akabane was both shocked and furious: "Are you out of your mind? Where is the Black Empire... the military?!"

If there weren't so many people around, Akabane would have shouted out the whole sentence to wake the other person from their dazed state.

"Last time you guys hacked the Sixth Legion..." Akabane said the first half of the sentence, but couldn't remember what punishment they received after hacking the Sixth Legion's system.

Oh, the Sixth Legion played games with them.

But this time is different!

How dare this 13!

How dare they hack into the Imperial military's system and forge orders to have the Fourth Army directly reinforce the Sixth Army?!

"Wait a minute, with your skills, you can actually hack in?" Akabane, who was scolding him for being crazy and asking for trouble just a second ago, suddenly started doubting his abilities.

Seriously—"Hey! You can think I'm crazy, but you can't question my skills!" Tenma was also swayed by Akabane's words, "I'm... ah, I'm one of the top experts in my region!"

"Yeah?"

No matter how strong Pegasus is, this is an empire, an empire with hundreds of billions of people. How many people are there in the Outer Sea? Even if Pegasus really is a hacker genius from the Outer Sea, what about an empire with hundreds of billions of people?

As the most important imperial military headquarters, how could they not have talented people guarding it?

No matter how confident Pegasus was, Akabane never believed him.

Pegasus's abilities are absolutely insufficient to accomplish this!
