White Sand Star, Bright Moon Palace.
The moonlight spread across the layers of rocks, casting a silver glow on the palace built against the rocks.
Under the wisteria flowers, Ai Fan sat on a soft rattan couch, browsing the battle reports coming from the screen line by line.
The Second Fleet engaged the Zerg head-on, suffering 30% casualties while resisting the fourth wave of space-time turbulence.
[Three major starports were attacked. The Third Fleet sent elite teams through the asteroid belt to attack the enemy's rear, forming a pincer attack with the enemy ships.]
[Enemy forces raid the Star Tower, Messiah activates emergency defense network.]
[The Eden Galaxy cooperates with the enemy to launch an invasion, and the Sixth Fleet defends the border area.]
[Human mutations have broken out on multiple planets, and the Fourth Fleet is escorting medical ships to provide support.]
[Seven lords of the marginal stars rebelled, and the lord of Tianfu Star led his troops to fight.]
…
Behind just a few lines of text is a rapidly changing situation and countless lives lost.
War, this is war.
Ai Fan sighed deeply.
A full week has passed since Messiah announced the coup to the entire empire, and almost all large inhabited planets above level 1 centered on the main planet have been involved in the war.
Pink meteor showers fell one after another.
Even though the casualties have been reduced to the lowest level thanks to the resistance of the seven fleets, people's panic is still spreading.
Those with ulterior motives are trying to ignite emotional public opinion and undermine the beliefs within the empire like last time.
However, last night and this morning, Carolina and Shen Que appeared on the Star Network respectively, which instantly calmed the public's emotions.
Looking at the two people with equally determined eyes on the screen, and the comments expressing trust from the stars, Ai Fan couldn't help but sigh -
They did what Shen Lu couldn't do.
To become the faith of the people of the star, this is the most profound lesson that Chen Lu left for his beloved family.
Carolina and Shen Que both did it, and An seemed to realize this as well.
There were footsteps outside the flower path.
Annie pushed open the door of the glass corridor and let Pei Li into the garden.
The Lord of Baisha Star was still wearing his combat uniform, the microphone hanging from his ear flickering, and he shouted as he entered the door:
"This damn bug is so disgusting! Arthropods are definitely the bugs I hate the most, bar none!"
"Everyone is dead?" Ai Fan looked Pei Li up and down to make sure he was not injured.
Space-time turbulence also appeared near Baisha Star. Since Chen Que had informed them long ago, Pei Li personally went out to fight and quickly resolved it.
It also solves the turbulence of several surrounding planets.
The excuse is to reduce the burden on the daughter-in-law.
Ai Fan knew clearly that Pei Li was just confused by the words "good father" that he called him.
Pei Li saw Carolina on the screen, his eyes swept across the Queen's slightly tired face, and he snorted coldly:
"I warned her long ago not to like that guy named Shen. It's not worth it! Look at her, she's already ruined herself, right? She plays house with those heartless people in the Imperial Court every day, and in the end, she still gets stabbed in the back."
Ai Fan: "...Did you forget that your daughter-in-law's surname is also Shen?"
Pei Li sat next to Ai Fan.
Ai Fan poured him tea, and Pei Li picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"That's different. My daughter-in-law is a thousand times better than that guy surnamed Shen."
Pei Li glanced through the battle report opened by Ai Fan, and his voice became a little serious.
"Whether it's the Star Tower or the port, Chu Yang is targeting the lifeline of the empire. He has rich practical experience and knows how to deal a fatal blow to the empire, but Shen Que handled it very well. If the opponent didn't have the killer weapon of time and space turbulence, he should have already had the advantage."
Having said this, Pei Li suddenly paused.
"By the way, I feel that this latest wave of space-time turbulence is not normal."
Ai Fan was slightly stunned, "Why is it abnormal?"
"I don't know how to describe it..." Pei Li frowned, "I always feel like there's something inside... A few times I even saw it suck the bugs that had already crawled out back in, and then some black stuff came out..."
"It's like it's alive... It's very ominous anyway."
Ai Fan frowned even deeper. "The Sea of Life is a cosmic living thing with independent consciousness. If humans abuse it excessively, it may cause consequences that we cannot imagine..."
From the beginning of the war to now, Chu Yang has created hundreds of gaps in time and space, if not thousands.
If the Sea of Life were a real little beast, it would probably be covered in wounds by now.
Pei Li said indignantly, "I still don't understand why that guy betrayed the empire!"
"How on earth did Chen Lu wrong him? First Commander, First Assistant Minister... Almost all the most important positions around the emperor were given to him. Is he not satisfied until he sits in that position?"
"You have such powerful abilities, yet you sell humans to bugs!"
Ai Fan sighed: "Because his virtue is not worthy of his position."
Back then, when Ai Fan first discovered that Pei Ji seemed to possess extraordinary mental power, her first reaction was not joy, but worry.
She was very afraid that Pei Ji would become a person like Chu Yang.
Because they are born stronger than others, they feel that they deserve more attention.
Treat your own efforts as a gift to others, and force others to give you equal returns.
Ai Fan recalled the discomfort he felt when he first met Chu Yang.
It was obvious that the man was very gentlemanly to everyone, and his words and actions revealed the elegance of the upper class.
But it still made her uncomfortable.
