Five days later, everything was ready.

When Helian Jue left the rest room in the morning, Xiaoyu was still fast asleep.

Dressed in combat gear, Helian Jue stood by the bed for a long time. Before leaving, he very restrainedly kissed Qiao You on the forehead.

"Depart!" With Helian Jue's command, countless warships suspended in space sliced ​​through the darkness like a sharp sword and sped away into the distance.

To usher in the light after darkness, a fierce battle is inevitable.

By the time Qiao You woke up, Helian Jue had already left.

Last night, his brother explained to him that he knew where his brother was and when he would be back.

But Qiao You still felt empty inside. He was worried about his brother getting hurt and about the battle not going well.

But what could he do?

After breakfast, Qiao You roused himself and continued studying using the optical computer.

As his older brother's little spirit pet, he naturally had to take on the task of healing his brother's spiritual power.

A day passed quickly, and Qiao You ate his three meals as arranged by his brother.

My brother said he won't be back for at least three days this time.

Qiao You was getting impatient, while Helian Jue at the front was extremely busy.

On the surface, Lin Zhong led the fleet to Gill Star openly, while Wayne and Skro went there in secret.

This time, Helian Jue not only wants to take back Sol Star, but also wants to take back Gil Star as interest.

Helian Jue is 90% confident that he can successfully take down the secret weapon that Luns has recently developed on the planet Sol.

————

Five days later, good news came from the empire's capital planet: Crown Prince Helian Jue led the expeditionary fleet to recapture Sol Star and added a new planet to the empire's territory.

"Front row group photo! In short, His Highness the Crown Prince is awesome!"

"Hey! We not only got back the planet that was stolen, but we also got one as a bonus! Let those rats in the Alliance run rampant!"

"That felt great! That felt so good!"

"This post is proof! I am His Highness's number one die-hard fan!"

"Hey upstairs, count me in! I'm a troll, my record is verifiable. From now on, anyone who insults His Highness the Crown Prince, just @ my ID, and I'll verbally torture them to death! (smiling face.jpg)"

"Master of Trolls! I'm following you!"

...

The interstellar world had only been at peace for a few years, and the people there had all experienced that period of instability, so most of them harbored a desire for strength.

Helian Jue fought this battle brilliantly, gaining many more admirers.

Helian Jue returned in triumph with his fleets, and Qiao You was already waiting for him.

As soon as the passageway door opened, Qiao You rushed out, but Helian Jue miraculously dodged Lin Zhong and caught Xiao Yu.

Lin Zhong, looking completely bewildered, awkwardly rubbed his shoulder where he had bumped into the wall.

"Old Lin, it's your own fault for blocking the way." Cui Jing was always eager to stir up trouble.

Lin Zhong was only stunned for a moment, but his expression quickly returned to normal. He didn't even look at Cui Jing, let alone say a word.

"Deadpan face!"

After being held in Helian Jue's arms, Qiao You realized something was amiss—so many people were watching! Ahhhhhh! *blushing emoji*

The little fish tried to break free, but how could Helian Jue bear to let go of the fish he had already caught?

He insisted on keeping Xiaoyu by his side, staying close to her, and holding all the debriefing meetings.

Afterwards, Xiaoyu fell asleep with her forehead resting against his back.

Not to mention Xiaoyu, even Helian Jue felt a bit tired after such a long meeting.

"Little Fish, let's go back to the room and sleep," Helian Jue coaxed. Little Fish unconsciously wrapped her arms around Helian Jue's neck, smacked her lips, turned her head away, and went back to sleep.

Helian Jue could only carry Xiaoyu on his back in this position, step by step, back to the rest room.

Alliance, White Star.

"Reporting to the Commander, Sol... Sol Star has been recaptured by Helian Jue, and so has Gil Star..."

Above, a white figure stood with a sharp voice, shouting, "You bastard!" as his subordinate finished reporting.

"Useless thing!"

"Who was it that promised to take down Sol Star?"

"General Taihe, is that you?"

General Taihe was drenched in sweat, his head bowed low. "I'm sorry, Commander, it was my misjudgment..."

"Helian Jue's mental strength was injured. Originally, everything should have been foolproof. After the first exchange, although Helian Jue was seriously injured, for some unknown reason, he recovered..."

"To stabilize the morale of the expeditionary fleet..."

The alliance leader once again questioned, "Taihe, I don't care about the process, I only care about the result."

"Since you're no longer of use..."

Taihe immediately kowtowed and begged for forgiveness, "Commander, I'm sorry, this time it was my fault, please give me another chance!"

After kowtowing a few times, Taihe's forehead was already covered in blood.

The only sound in the entire hall was Taihe kowtowing.

"Since General Taihe's words are so earnest, I will give you another chance."

"If we fail again this time, you know what will happen."

Taihe's clothes were soaked with sweat, and blood from his forehead covered his entire face.

Emerging from the main hall after surviving the ordeal, Taihe appeared as if he had been reborn from the dead.

"General, are you alright?" Kowa, the deputy general beside General Taihe, quickly helped him up and asked with concern.

Taihe was exhausted and had no energy to think about anything else, so he asked Kowa to take him back to the mansion first.

After returning to the general's mansion, Taihe calmed down. "Go and investigate what extraordinary encounters Helian Jue has had in the past year."

"And in this battle, what technology did the Empire acquire that could disrupt our signal flares?"

"Yes!" Kova accepted the order and went to carry it out.

Taihe had always known that the commander was not one to hold onto old feelings, and this time his life had truly teetered on the edge of a precipice.

Today, he sensed murderous intent in the commander's words.

If there is a next time, he will surely die.

However, when the previous leader of the league stepped down, it was he who strongly recommended and escorted him to take over.

But the commander-in-chief now shows no regard for past relationships.

People die for wealth, birds die for food; it's time for him to make plans for himself.

Taihe's eyes were full of calculation. The public was unaware, but he knew very well that the alliance had been declining in recent years and that a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.
