A sudden sound rang out in the room, causing He Xingjue to freeze in his tracks, his killing intent surging outwards.
Li Ze, however, seemed to have grasped at a lifeline. Without thinking, he reached out and pressed the "Agree" button.
Upon seeing this, He Xingjue's pupils dilated, and he unleashed his maximum speed, flipping over to cover Li Ze and himself with the blanket.
Almost simultaneously, the light screen lit up in front of the bed, and Chen Kaiyang, Wang Duan, and Xu Zhou appeared on the light screen.
"Uh—" Chen Kaiyang and the other two were somewhat taken aback; it seemed they had sent the communication request at the wrong time.
He Xingjue got off Li Ze, and the two went from being intertwined to lying side by side.
Li Ze's porcelain-white face flushed crimson, making her look exquisitely beautiful.
He Xingjue's face was grim, practically screaming "unsatisfied!" He said, "You'd better have something important to do, otherwise—"
Chen Kaiyang and the other two couldn't help but shiver, as if a chill was creeping out of the screen and onto their bodies.
"It's important." Chen Kaiyang swallowed hard, not daring to look at He Xingjue or Li Ze, and instead looked up at the ceiling. "A large-scale Void Beast Tide has appeared outside the western border."
"Outside the border?" Li Ze sat up.
He Xingjue also sat up and wrapped Li Ze tightly in the blanket.
“That’s right, it’s outside the border. To be more precise, it’s around a private planet called Herl,” Chen Kaiyang said. “And surprisingly, there are quite a few warships and mechs around Herl, almost as many as a legion. Judging from their configuration, they look very much like the Empire’s legions.”
He Xingjue also became interested, "Can't find out which legion it is?"
Under normal circumstances, the empire does not deliberately conceal this.
Chen Kaiyang shook his head. "That's all the information we've received."
After ending the communication, Li Ze immediately took out new clothes from his spatial storage and changed into them.
"Are you going?" He Xingjue asked.
"Okay." Li Ze moved quickly and finished dressing in no time.
He Xingjue started getting dressed too, "Let's go together."
Li Ze hurriedly came downstairs, and He Xingjue chased after him while putting on his clothes.
The villa gate opened, and seeing Gao Feng and the others still lying on the lawn, Li Ze asked in surprise, "You're still here?"
"The commander was too ruthless; we can't get up." Gao Feng reached out to Li Ze, "Madam, give me a hand."
Just as Li Ze was about to reach out, He Xingjue was a step ahead of him, lifting Gao Feng up in one swift motion. "I haven't even used 80% of my strength yet, so don't try to scam me."
Gao Feng was stunned, as if he had been deeply shocked. "You mean you didn't even use 80% of your strength?"
He Xingjue gave a perfunctory reply, and seeing that Li Ze had already released the mecha, he was afraid that Li Ze would leave him behind, so he hurriedly squeezed onto the mecha.
"Commander, what are you rushing off to?" Ishikawa shouted.
"Go west, there's a Void Beast tide there," He Xingjue shouted from inside the mecha.
The next second, the mech's hatch closed, the black mech rose from the ground, and instantly disappeared into the night sky.
Gao Feng and his subordinates exchanged a glance. "Another beast tide?"
"That's what the commander said," the subordinate replied, glancing down at the information on his personal terminal. "There is a beast tide. The information was sent two hours ago, but I was at the wedding at the time and didn't pay attention to it."
Gao Feng also saw the information, but his information was more comprehensive than others: "His Majesty's men discovered Qi's lair and sent soldiers to besiege it. Hundreds of thousands of people went to besiege a private planet, thinking it was foolproof, but who knew that the other side would attract a tide of void beasts."
"The other side can actually attract void beasts!" the subordinate exclaimed in surprise.
Gao Feng's expression turned serious. "Judging from the previous examples, the other party really is capable."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. At this moment, Gao Feng's personal terminal rang. As soon as he saw the name of the person who sent the message, his expression instantly became serious. He subconsciously straightened his body and straightened his disheveled clothes.
Half an hour later, Gao Feng led the Snow Wolf Legion from Vermilion Bird Star, heading straight for the western border of the empire.
At the same time, not only the Snow Wolves, but also the White Tiger Legion received orders to go to the western border to fight against the Void Beast Tide.
Because of deliberate manipulation by humans, this time the Void Beast exit was opened up to be much larger, more than ten times larger than any previous one.
The Void Beasts surged forth from the exit like a stampede of ten thousand horses, their momentum overwhelming and unstoppable.
In less than half an hour, the number of Void Beasts on site had reached over 100,000. And this number was still growing rapidly.
Inside the palace, the young emperor's face was cold, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. "We must find out how Qi lured the Void Beast here."
"Professors from several major military academies are already on their way to the battlefield, and they should make some discoveries then."
"Qi is a major hidden danger and must be eliminated."
"This Zhao Mingqi can't be allowed to live either."
“Zhao Mingqi has not committed any crimes, and his reputation in the empire is not bad. If we want to take action against him, we must have a legitimate reason, otherwise we will not be able to explain ourselves to the outside world.”
......
Inside the jump tunnel, Li Ze and He Xingjue remained silent. Li Ze stared intently at the starry sea, while He Xingjue stared back at Li Ze.
He Xingjue recalled the previous incident where the other party almost rushed into the Void Beast's exit, so he had to give them a heads-up: "You can only watch from outside the exit, you can't rush in."
Li Ze did not agree, "I tried several times, but I couldn't see anything unusual at the exit."
“The other side is the world of Void Beasts, which is very dangerous.” He Xingjue disagreed.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Li Ze refused to back down. "Besides, those Void Beasts are no match for me."
He Xingjue stared intently at Li Ze, and Li Ze returned the gaze. Their eyes met, and neither was willing to yield.
The mech traveled through the warp tunnel for three hours. During those three hours, Li Ze and He Xingjue did not speak to each other, and the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
But the two of them seemed oblivious, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
After exiting the jump tunnel, He Xingjue was about to get out of Li Ze's mech. As he reached the hatch, He Xingjue turned back and said, "If you really want to go, then I'll go with you."
Li Ze opened his mouth as if to say something, but He Xingjue jumped out of the cabin.
Registration is required to cross the border.
After registering, Li Ze and He Xingjue each piloted their own mecha into the Star Sea.
At this time, He Xingjue also received the information that Gao Feng had discovered. He Xingjue read it and shared it with Li Ze.
"Hel Star is Qi's old lair, and we have a deep grudge against them, so be careful," He Xingjue instructed.
Li Ze hummed in response, but it was unclear whether he had actually listened.
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Caution is the best policy," He Xingjue added.
He never expected that he would become so fussy and nagging one day.
