Her Star was not far from the border of the Empire. After flying in their mechs for half an hour, Li Ze and He Xingjue saw that the area in front of them was densely packed with Void Beasts.
They practically occupied the entire galaxy.
Just then, a black warship was firing its cannons in all directions, and rushed out of the horde of void beasts at an extremely fast speed.
Once it broke free from the horde of beasts, the black warship sailed into the sea of stars and quickly disappeared from sight.
“That’s Qi’s warship,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze hummed in agreement, he had guessed it too, "It's a pity he got away."
He Xingjue wasn't in a hurry, saying, "There's plenty of time."
Before him lay a vast array of Void Beasts, and for a moment, Li Ze had no idea where the exit they had created was.
He frowned, and with a thought, four level-six power shells shot straight into the horde of void beasts not far away.
The shell exploded, and He Xingjue rushed over, grabbed Li Ze's hand, and pulled him backward.
"You dare use a level 6 shell at such close range? Are you out of your mind?!" He Xingjue roared.
"Just use your spiritual power to protect the mecha." Li Ze didn't take it seriously.
He Xingjue: "......."
Well, he was narrow-minded; he didn't know that spiritual energy could be used in this way.
Unexpectedly, Li Ze added, "However, your cultivation level is low, so you probably won't be able to last more than a few times."
He Xingjue gritted his teeth, "There's no need to emphasize it like that, and I won't do it like you. It's not worth hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own."
Li Ze broke free from the arms of his mecha. "Then you should stay away from here."
After saying that, Li Ze fired sixteen level-six shells in succession.
He Xingjue: "......."
Tsk, she's got quite a temper.
So when the Snow Wolf Legion arrived, this was the scene they saw: Xuan Ying was firing at full power not far away, while the Snow Wolves were leisurely and carefree behind him.
Xuan Ying single-handedly withstood the Void Beasts from this direction, and not a single one of them could break through its firepower and reach it.
"You guys are here too?" Snow Wolf waved to the warship behind him.
"Commander, you were hiding behind the lady!" the soldiers exclaimed in the public chat.
"Your commander has been strong for half his life, and now he wants to taste what it's like to be a kept man," He Xingjue said shamelessly.
The Snow Wolf warriors: "...We never knew you had this side to you."
"You continue to rest, we're leaving," Gao Feng said expressionlessly.
"Take care, and don't come back." The snow wolf remained in its original posture.
The Snow Wolf Legion's warships bypassed Li Ze and surrounded the Void Beast from another direction.
Less than ten minutes after the snow wolf left, the White Tiger Legion arrived. The members of the White Tiger Legion were also utterly bewildered by the scene before them.
"He Xingjue, didn't you just crush Zhao Mingqi's hand today? What, you can't do it again now?" Zhou Yi mocked.
"There's nothing I can do, my partner is too amazing, I don't need to step in," He Xingjue said lazily.
"Ha, don't you feel ashamed to be a man?" Zhou Yi said with a look of disdain.
"Of course I don't mind. After all, not everyone has a great partner like me. Commander Zhou, are you jealous of me?" He Xingjue asked seriously.
"I have a wife, why should I be jealous of you?" Zhou Yi sneered.
"Because your wife isn't as good as my partner. She's not as beautiful, as capable, or as kind and lovable. It's only natural for you to be jealous," He Xingjue said matter-of-factly.
“I didn’t,” Zhou Yi retorted, but the thought that his wife was the one He Xing would never want made his teeth ache with anger. “I don’t have time to chat with you. You can continue to hide behind your wife like a mushroom.”
The White Tiger Legion also bypassed Li Ze.
He Xingjue remained calm and unhurried, slowly equipping his mecha with weapons.
What do those people know? If he doesn't keep a close eye on his wife, she'll definitely leave him and run away.
More than twenty live streaming rooms suddenly appeared on the StarNet.
"Another beast tide, and the peaceful life only lasted for a year."
"I'll check the situation later; I'm donating my allowance from the past few months first."
"Is it just my imagination? I think I saw Xuan Ying and Xue Lang."
"I can't help but shed tears. Boss, Commander He, it feels like that was in the last century."
"Did everyone notice? The one fighting is the big boss. Commander He is like a weak little white rabbit, being firmly protected behind the big boss. No Void Beast can cross the big boss's defense line. The area where Commander He is located is an absolutely safe place."
"Waaah, after hearing what you said upstairs, I feel inexplicably sad and moved. Back when Commander He was still a 3S-level Sentinel, uh, it seems that it was also a big shot protecting Commander He back then."
......
The netizens fell silent.
"Have you run out of shells?" He Xing asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Ze checked his remaining resources and said, "I can last for another two minutes."
"Okay, then it'll be my turn in two minutes. Do you still have any ammunition in your storage space?" He Xingjue asked again.
"Yes, a lot." He hadn't used many of the weapons he'd robbed from space pirates.
Just when netizens thought He Xingjue would stay hidden behind Li Ze, he stepped forward.
Li Ze dared to fire level 6 artillery, but he couldn't, and he didn't try to be brave, so he only chose level 5.
At this distance, level 5 artillery fire is just within his tolerance range.
Even at level five, its destructive power was astonishing. Those void beasts that couldn't be killed by the bombs were also taken down by He Xingjue with even less powerful shells.
His shells were less powerful than Li Ze's, but he had more shells. The number of shells he fired was almost three or four times that of Li Ze's shells at the same time.
"After visual inspection, Commander He is still Commander He. Even if he is not a 3S-level Sentinel, he is still the most dazzling man in the crowd."
"The top-tier mech Snow Wolf is smoking! What kind of hand speed is needed to achieve such an effect?"
"With that kind of hand speed, his partner must be incredibly lucky. I envy this guy!"
"Hand speed can be practiced, and the boss's beauty is unique. Commander He really got the better deal."
"........"
On the Vermilion Bird Star, Zhao Mingqi's face was gloomy. "My mother and the others escaped?"
"Yes, they've escaped. However, the old lady sustained some injuries and is currently in the treatment ward," the subordinate replied.
Zhao Mingqi's expression softened slightly. "Since our home has been destroyed, let's find a new one. This time, let's find a bigger one, like the entire empire."
The subordinate perked up. "You mean?"
Zhao Mingqi's lips slowly curled up into a smile. "A change of dynasty."
On this morning, following the western border of the empire, the eastern and southern borders of the empire, as well as the Vermilion Bird Star, all experienced waves of Void Beasts.
On the same day, beast tides appeared simultaneously in four different locations, an unprecedented event in the empire's history. Panic gripped the people.
All of the Empire's legions were mobilized, with some heading to Vermilion Bird Star, some to the east of the Empire, and some to the south.
