The Summer Solstice battlefield has the Royal Legion, while they have Li Ze. If given a choice, most people would probably choose the former.
After all, Li Ze was just one person.
However, some people hold opposing views.
"I don't like hearing that. Li Ze isn't a soldier; he's just an ordinary citizen who contributes money, effort, and supplies. How can you compare him to those royal children who have lived a life of luxury since childhood, relying on the Empire's taxes? Protecting the Empire is their duty and responsibility, but does Li Ze have that duty and obligation? On the contrary, protecting Li Ze, a taxpayer, is their duty and responsibility."
“You are a soldier, yet instead of relying on yourself, you place your hopes on others and wait for them to help you. I feel ashamed to have someone like you as a comrade!”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
At this moment, they couldn't help but reflect. Li Ze had already done so much for them, and was the savior of many of them. Now, just because a royal legion appeared on the summer solstice battlefield, were they already turning their backs on Li Ze?
They were ashamed of their thoughts.
Later, the soldier posted this conversation on the StarNet. In an instant, netizens who were passionate about the Royal Navy calmed down.
"I almost forgot if you hadn't reminded me, it's us who are supporting those royal children."
"If the royal family members are so capable, why are they only now coming out to protect the empire?"
"You yourself said they are members of the royal family. A long time ago, you probably wouldn't even have had the right to address them by their given names. Why would they come to the battlefield and risk their lives?"
"Okay, I'll shut up. I'm going to go see my Zeze."
...
The young emperor looked at the comments and felt heartbroken. The reputation he had worked so hard to build was gone again.
"Forget it, let those royal children fend for themselves from now on," the young emperor said helplessly.
"I'm afraid they'll cause trouble," the minister said, somewhat troubled.
"Let them make a fuss. It's better than the people of the Empire turning against us. Besides, each of them has a lot of private property under their name. Even if the Empire doesn't support them, they can still live comfortably." The young emperor thought for a moment, "Don't bother notifying them. Just send an official document on the StarNet. Also, tell them that if they want a good life and power, they should earn their own military merits."
"yes."
The moment the official document was issued, the entire empire was in an uproar. They dared not speak out against the anger, and the matter that made them feel extremely frustrated and resentful every time they thought about it was resolved so easily. They no longer had to support those millions of people with the surname Zhao.
In an instant, countless people spread the news, celebrating and cheering on the StarNet, while singing praises to the current emperor's wisdom and might...
But there are also angry and resentful people, such as those members of the royal family and those who have countless connections with the royal family.
Losing a considerable amount of income every month is like having their heart's blood ripped out; how could they not be furious!
They are rich, but who would complain about having too much money?
They didn't understand why His Majesty would suddenly decide not to raise them anymore.
So they immediately went to investigate the reason, but the answer they got in the end made them feel ridiculous. It was all because of a conversation between two soldiers, because of that man named Li Ze, who changed the rules that had been followed for thousands of years!
Li Ze!
Those royal relatives and disciples gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with resentment.
Li Ze, who was in the middle of killing the Void Beast, was unaware that he had become the target of a group of people's resentment.
Over the course of two days, he absorbed countless streams of malevolent energy and refined them into demonic energy. At this point, his demonic core was completely full, and he felt a slight swelling and pain.
With abundant demonic energy and renewed confidence, Li Ze charged directly into the horde of void beasts.
"Li Ze, danger!"
"Are you out of your mind? Come back here!"
The soldiers were both shocked and frightened, and were about to rush over to pull the person back.
"Stop! Don't go up there and hinder us!" a soldier shouted, stopping the group. "Have you ever seen Li Ze do anything he wasn't sure of?"
Everyone shook their heads. They had never seen it before. Now that they thought about it, Li Ze jumping into the sea of stars might have been a way for him to protect himself.
"Everyone, fire the shells further away to avoid affecting Li Ze."
"yes."
As they expected, even amidst the Void Beast horde, Li Ze remained at ease, and soon a dense mass of Void Beast corpses gathered around him.
These corpses drifted in the sea of stars, looking rather eerie.
Seeing the corpse about to drift away, one of the soldiers suggested, "Let's go help dig out the energy crystals."
The others watched as Li Ze single-handedly swept away a small horde of Void Beasts and nodded, "Since no Void Beasts are breaking through for the time being, let's go."
What should have been a perilous battlefield turned into a strange scene: Li Ze was single-handedly slaying Void Beasts at the front, while dozens of warriors helped him extract energy crystals from their bodies. Their division of labor and cooperation seemed strangely harmonious.
The netizens on the StarNet, witnessing this bizarre scene, fell silent, and finally all said the same thing: "Ze is too amazing. The Void Beasts can no longer stop his march to conquer the stars and the sea."
Li Ze was like a tireless machine, charging forward from the border defense line and all the way into the depths of the Void Beast horde.
At first, the soldiers following behind him needed to use artillery fire to protect themselves, but gradually, as Li Ze slaughtered his own side and wave after wave of Void Beasts died, the Void Beasts became afraid and began to retreat.
One hour, two hours, three hours passed, and the number of warriors following Li Ze to dig for energy stone crystals grew from dozens to hundreds, then thousands.
It was late at night, but the Empire's netizens, who should have been asleep, were all glued to their screens, their expressions excited.
"Now, who can still say that I, Ze, am inferior to the Royal Legion? Who else but me could single-handedly wipe out the entire Void Beast Tide?"
"The Royal Legion uses artillery, while I use broadswords—it's energy-efficient and environmentally friendly."
"I want to be the knife in Li Ze's hand."
......
In the Death Starfield, He Xingjue led his men to successfully locate the two energy stars and fought a battle with the space pirates on the energy stars, successfully seizing them.
"You handle the aftermath, I'm going to the southern battlefield," He Xingjue said.
"Are you going alone?" Gao Feng asked.
He Xingjue nodded, "There are still many problems in the Death Starfield that haven't been resolved, so Snow Wolf has to stay and guard it. Later, officials from the Empire will come, and Snow Wolf will leave after they have completely taken control of the Death Starfield."
Gao Feng nodded. "Snow Wolf will stay, but I can go to the southern battlefield with you, Commander."
He had just watched the live stream; his wife had already charged into the Void Beast horde. She was invincible within the horde, leaving no Void Beast standing in her wake.
He was so excited watching this that he wished he could rush over right now and fight alongside his wife.
However, He Xingjue's cold words extinguished his passion: "You can't go. If I leave, you will have full command of the Snow Wolf."
Gao Feng: "......"
Damn it, the commander is inhuman!
