"Goodbye."

Walker couldn't bear to look at Gou Liang lying on the ground. Without hesitation, he took out the silenced laser gun that he had hidden under the lab table, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

Wherever the dazzling laser passed, the floor of the lab directly melted, revealing the rock layer on the surface.

Even the bulletproof building materials couldn't survive, let alone a mortal body.

The fire alarm in the lab rang, alerting the patrolling sentries in the food agent factory. Hearing the sentries' warning, Walker was completely unmoved. He cautiously went forward to confirm. Seeing that not even scum was left at the place of impact, he came to a conclusion.

With trembling hands, he spread the news that he had succeeded.

Success!

In the Freedom Federation's army, Jack Litt who had received the news was overjoyed.

He nodded to General Ryan and General Palmer and said loudly, "Dispatch the troops immediately!"

Opportunity knocks but once, it won't come again!

Right now, the Xiang family's army must be in a mess because of the little guide and Xiang Muchuan's accident. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he must give Xiang Muchuan a bloody lesson to the Empire's army and return the humiliation he had suffered a hundredfold!

— — The warship sped out, heading straight for the Empire's army.

Walker sat on the ground, slumped. He put down the laser gun and let out a long breath.

Listening to the incessant screams of the fire alarm and the approaching footsteps of the sentries, his gaze was solemn. He made a prayer and praised in a low voice, "Long live the Federation, long live freedom."

After saying that, he took out the suicide poison that he had prepared long ago and was about to swallow it. A flash of pink and the drug in his hand disappeared without a trace.

The next second, the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against his temple.

The gunman warned him, "Don't move."

This voice?!

Walker turned his head in disbelief. Seeing that it was really Gou Liang, he was immediately stunned — — he actually didn't die, how was this possible?!

Realizing that something was wrong, Walker raised the drug again. How could Gou Liang let him use the same trick again?

He swung the gun butt and smashed it against Walker's temple. The latter only felt a rumbling sound in his head. He was so dizzy that his whole body swayed and he couldn't sit still.

Gou Liang took away the isolator in his hand and stepped on Walker's face, pressing him to the ground. He knocked Walker's head with the muzzle of the laser gun and warned, "Behave."

At this moment, Xiang Muchuan rushed in.

"Xiao Kener!"

It had been less than a minute since the incident happened. The patrol guards who heard the fire alarm had not arrived in time, but Xiang Muchuan, who was far away in the central meeting room, had already rushed in.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?! "

His face was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily. Even though he was a Super S Sentinel, his explosive speed was still too much for his body to handle.

Xiang Muchuan did not feel the discomfort in his body at all. He directly grabbed Gou Liang into his arms, touched his head and face in panic, and asked anxiously.

When Gou Liang hid in the living space, he had reshaped his spiritual resonance with him and told him about his situation. However, even when he saw Gou Liang with his own eyes, Xiang Muchuan's body was still tense and he could not relax at all.

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

Gou Liang quickly comforted him.

The moment Gou Liang fell to the ground, he felt that he had miscalculated.

He cooperated with Walker's assassination plan to let the Xiang Family army clean up the spies. As for his personal safety, Gou Liang really did not consider this problem before. Not to mention that he had exchanged for the living space in advance, even if he did not, Walker would not be able to do anything to him.

Gou Liang did not want to let Xiang Muchuan be frightened, so he did not inform him in advance. However, he did not expect that Walker would have the isolator in his hands.

When the silver wolf disappeared uncontrollably, he knew that it was bad. Sure enough, the big blind spot immediately knew that something had happened to him.

"Mu, Muchuan, I'm not injured."

Xiang Muchuan did not listen to his words. After repeatedly confirming that he was not injured at all, he dared to be slightly relieved.

The silver wolf was also frightened by what happened just now. It bit Gou Liang's clothes and whimpered. It was sad that it failed to protect Gou Liang.

Gou Liang patted Meng Meng Hao's head to comfort her. Xiang Muchuan hid Gou Liang behind him and looked coldly at Walker who was about to make a move. Walker, who was almost knocked unconscious, was loyal to the Litt family beyond Gou Liang's imagination. At this moment, he was still urging his spiritual body to destroy the terminal to inform Jack Litt that there was a change in the situation. He really did not care about his own life.

Gou Liang stopped Xiang Muchuan and sprayed the agent on Walker. Walker, who was struggling for his life, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Guide agent?"

When Xiang Muchuan saw that Walker's fox spirit had disappeared, he knew that Walker had used this to deal with Gou Liang. His eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Gou Liang nodded. Suddenly, a level one alarm sounded above the Xiang family's military base!

There was an enemy attack!

Marshal Xiang's call came immediately. "Muchuan, are you and Yuan Wang okay?"

"We're fine. Jack Litt arranged for a spy to assassinate Yuan Wang. Now that he thinks that it's done, he sent his troops to attack us. "Xiang Muchuan calmly analyzed the situation and said," Dad, you're in charge of defense. I'll lead the troops to cut off his rear. "

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. Let's encircle and kill them again. How dare they attack you and the little guide. If I don't kill them this time, my surname is not Xiang! "

Marshal Xiang immediately led the troops to fight. He did not forget to pretend to be angry and worried about the morale of the troops.

Yao Zicong and a few others arrived soon after.

Just now, Xiang Muchuan's speed was too fast. They could not keep up with him at all. Subconsciously, they tried their best to rush here. After running a few steps, Xiang Muchuan had already disappeared. Li Weike, who was the calmest, remembered to take the floating car and catch up.

"Young Master Yuan, how are you?"

Everyone was nervous.

Although Gou Liang was standing beside Xiang Muchuan, the destruction of the laboratory after being hit by the laser bullet was enough to scare them.

Gou Liang said, "I'm fine."

Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Young Marshal, the Marshal sent his troops to fight." Barton scolded with righteous indignation. "Those bastards from the Federation came so quickly. This matter must have something to do with them!"

"Idiot, I don't need you to tell me such an obvious thing."

Yao Zicong's expression was extremely ugly.

Walker, who was on the ground, was not a nobody. Although he did not infiltrate the core of the Xiang family's army, he was already the second in command of the food agent factory. He even had access to the complete recipe of the food agent and was deeply trusted by the Xiang family. Gou Liang had dealt with him alone more than once or twice. There were too many opportunities to make a move against Gou Liang. Moreover, Gou Liang would not be on guard against him … This kind of person was actually a spy from the Freedom Federation. It was his dereliction of duty that he did not investigate beforehand.

Fortunately, Gou Liang was not an incompetent person. Otherwise, it would be too late to say anything now.

Thinking about it, Yao Zicong was scared to death. However, now was not the time to pursue responsibility. He said, "Young Marshal, how should we repay that grandson?"

Xiang Muchuan was watching Ai Qi perform a professional examination on Gou Liang. Seeing that she had confirmed that Gou Liang was fine, he said, "Zicong, you stay here. Detain all the people who have been in contact with Walker and those who have been acting suspiciously recently. In addition, inform all the armies to be on guard against the Federation taking advantage of the chaos to send out troops. All armies are to be on standby and listen to my orders at any time. Vic, gather 100,000 people and assemble at the fifth spaceport in three minutes. "

"Yes, Young Marshal!"

Li Weike and the others responded and moved.

Just as Xiang Muchuan expected, the news of his guide's' death 'spread like a virus through the Federation army under the leadership of Jack Litt.

In just a few minutes, all the major armies of the Federation took advantage of the situation to attack the territories of the Xiang family army in the Border City Star Field. Among them, the fastest to react were the Leon Corps and the Palmer Corps who had already learned of Jack's assassination plan a few hours ago.

— — Now that Xiang Muchuan's life or death was unknown and Marshal Xiang was trapped in Nelson, if they did not seize the territories under the jurisdiction of the Xiang family army now, when would they!

However, they were still mainly probing at the moment and the situation of the battle was not as fierce as that of the Nelson Star Field.

Leon and the commander of the Palmer Corps who had come to reinforce the Litt Corps were originally worried that the Xiang family would be angered by this great setback and would definitely win the battle. However, Jack Litt's timing was too good. Before the Xiang family could react to the Young Marshal's accident, they were caught off guard and were attacked. For a moment, they were in a mess.

The morale of the army was not stable and the battle was bound to be lost.

The Federation army took the opportunity to break through several of the Xiang family's loopholes and beat them back again and again.

The situation was very good. The three major armies, Litt, Leon, and Palmer Corps, even sent out troops regardless of the cost and pursued the Xiang family army relentlessly.

They were not blinded by the temporary victory, but they would not have a second chance like this in their lives. They did not want to kill Marshal Xiang in Nelson, but they wanted to delay him as much as possible so that he could not escape from Nelson so that they could win the battle outside. Therefore, their attacks became fiercer and fiercer.

The ambitious Federation, however, did not know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. The cannon of the God of Death was already aimed at them.

"Young Marshal, the coordinates of the first squad have been locked. Please give us your orders."

"Young Marshal, the coordinates of the second squad have been locked. Please give us your orders."

"Young Marshal, the third squad …"

Ten squads of sentinel elites led by Li Weike, Barton, and Ai Qi sneaked into the rear, left, and right wing of the Federation army silently, waiting for Xiang Muchuan's order.

Attack!

The sound of an explosion echoed in space —

"What's going on?"

In the warship that was shaking violently because of the impact of the energy, Jack Litt's heart sank. At this moment, the uneasiness in his heart was very similar to the unforeseen fear he had felt when Tut Base was destroyed.

"G-General!"

The monitoring officer did not know how to describe what he saw in front of him. He pointed at the screen and trembled.

Jack rushed forward and pushed the monitoring officer away. When he saw the feedback on the strategic star map on the screen, his eyes widened and he lost the ability to speak for a moment. The blue, white, and gold warships and starships that represented the three major corps were exploding one after another. The explosions were connected and the line of fire was spreading toward the center of the army!

"General! The Empire army at the front is counterattacking! "

Another piece of bad news came.

It was a trap.

Jack Litt quickly realized this. He opened his mouth, but before he could say the word retreat, he heard his adjutant shout in horror, "General, Leon's Corps has retreated. Palmer's Corps has also retreated!"

Jack's face turned pale.

Previously, he thought that Xiang Muchuan did not know what was good for him. He supported Ryan and the Palmer Legion to spread the news because he wanted to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao. As long as the federal army attacked the border star region and stretched the battle line, the Xiang Family's army would be too busy and would voluntarily retreat from Nelson.

That was why he gathered the forces of the three major corps to fight the Xiang Family's army to the death. He wanted to make the Xiang Family lose as much as possible before Commander Xiang retreated.

But now, his cleverness had unquestionably backfired on him. Instead, it helped the Xiang Family to wipe them all out!

Clenching his fists, Jack forced himself to calm down and said sternly, "Go! Notify the entire army to retreat to the wormhole in Nelson 004! Hurry! "

But how could they escape from the trap set up by Xiang Muchuan so easily?

"Ninth squad, release the jammer. Tenth squad, pay attention to the energy supply. The other squads, continue attacking according to the original coordinates."

"Yes, Young Marshal!"

Behind Xiang Muchuan, Gou Liang watched him invade the navigation system of the federal warships without any hindrance and make the enemy's starships follow the direction of the jammer and rush into the attack area of the squad. He could not help but hug his silver wolf tightly in excitement.

In a technical battle, no one could be more handsome than the big target!

The federal army, which was fleeing at full speed, did not notice this at all. It was only when starships and warships fell into the trap one after another like moths to a flame that they realized that their navigation system had gone out of control!

"General, what should we do?"

The eyes of the federal soldiers of the three major corps were filled with panic.

They had already forcibly stopped flying and repaired the navigation system. But their technical soldiers were no match for Xiang Muchuan at all. They could not return to normal navigation at all. But their reconnaissance devices were not completely damaged yet. The soldiers could only watch from the warships as the Xiang Family's cannons continuously approached and gradually brought them into the attack range.

The feeling of waiting for death was far more frightening than death.

In the repeated explosions, the commanders of several starships soon lost their cool. Before the attacks of the Xiang Family's army swept over, they fled like headless flies. They only wanted to maneuver their starships to escape from the attack range, but they collided with their own allies.

The starships collided and exploded one after another. Jack Litt shouted with an unsightly expression: "Stop! Tell them to stop and listen to orders! "

However, this kind of reprimand, which was of no benefit to the current situation, could no longer intimidate the federal army that was in a mess.

"General, what should we do now?"

Seeing the line of fire approaching them unceasingly, the people on the main warship also became uneasy.

Jack said: "Retreat in a straight line!"

The adjutant said in surprise: "But General …"

If they rushed in a straight line, not to mention whether or not they would collide with their own starships, they would definitely enter the line of fire. This was too dangerous!

"No buts."

Jack interrupted him. He took a deep breath and said: "Turn off the combat system and upgrade the defense system to S grade. We'll leave at full speed!"

Then he asked someone to fetch the escape capsules. He estimated that they would use the escape capsules to flee separately after leaving the area where the fire was concentrated.

Xiang Muchuan had already anticipated this. After the main warship of the Litt Corps gave up on counterattacking, he directed the fire to concentrate on the tail of the warship. The cabin was constantly shaking. They simply could not retrieve the escape capsules at all.

"Young Marshal, Jack has left the attack range of the 7th squad."

Barton was in charge of the 7th squad. Jack Litt was the first to step into his attack range. However, their main warship was very durable. Even his all-out attack did not destroy it.

"The 3rd squad, attack. The 1st squad, get ready."

"Yes!"

Xiang Muchuan looked at the Litt Corps' warships moving at full speed on the strategic star map. The speed of the enemy's warship, the energy consumption, the damage to the fuselage and so on were all under Xiang Muchuan's control.

After going through untold hardships, the Litt's main warship finally left the area where the fire was concentrated. However, no one was happy.

This was because when they were escaping from the attack range of the 1st squad, the tail of their warship was completely destroyed. Although they could still barely maintain flight, they had lost all their supplies and escape capsules!

"General, General, what should we do?"

Everyone had a sad face. Jack Litt's face was also pale.

He stubbornly let them escape in one direction. Wandering in space without navigation was tantamount to courting death. However, he would rather face the space turbulence than die in the hands of the Empire.

"General, they're catching up!"

"General, our energy supply can't keep up!"

"General …"

Bad news came one after another. Then the communications officer said in a trembling voice, "General, there's a communication request from the Empire."

The room was silent. Jack's cold voice sounded in the silence, "Accept."

The communication was connected. The first thing that came into view was Xiang Muchuan's virtual image.

Even if Jack had expected Walker's mission to fail, the moment he saw Xiang Muchuan, his face was still ugly to the extreme.

Xiang Muchuan did not waste his saliva on opening remarks. He raised his hand and clapped. After three claps, he smiled and said, "General Jack, today's life and death escape performance was really wonderful. I wish you such good luck in the future."

"Xiang Muchuan, you-"

However, Xiang Muchuan did not want to hear his last words. The image flashed, and the ten-second countdown replaced Xiang Muchuan's virtual screen.

10, 9, 8 …

"General … General …"

What should they do now?

This question was already meaningless. The adjutant could not say anything.

Jack increased the speed of the warship, but it still could not catch up with the rapidly passing time!

3 — — 2 — —

1.

With a boom, the warship was attacked fiercely.

Immediately after, another ten-second countdown appeared.

Xiang Muchuan was using a blunt knife to cut slowly, infinitely magnifying the fear and unwillingness of their dying struggle.

Jack, who was finally able to stand firm, gritted his teeth. After two consecutive attacks, the warship's energy could not support a few more attacks!

Jack's eyes flashed with a trace of madness. "Lock onto Xiang Muchuan's starship. Turn off all combat readiness systems and speed up to approach it!"

"General, the defense system also needs to …"

They suddenly realized what Jack wanted to do. He wanted to activate the self-destruct system and perish together with Xiang Muchuan.

"General, please reconsider."

Jack's waist suddenly collapsed. They could no longer escape. Rather than dying in such a cowardly manner, they might as well use it for one last time.

Thinking of this, Jack Litt straightened his chest and gave a military salute. "I swear to die with the Federation!"

"I swear to die with the Federation. Long live freedom!"

The officers who were going to die did not hesitate.

No one noticed that during the soul-stirring oath, Jack crushed the miniature communicator that had been hidden in his palm.

The warship's full energy movement mode was very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, it approached the position of "Xiang Muchuan".

Gou Liang retracted his attention from Jack, who was being monitored by the system. He saw the Litt Army's main warship, which had been guided by the navigation system, crash into the warship of Ryan and Palmer, who had just escaped from the battlefield.

"Jack, you're crazy! Stop it! "

"Quick, connect to Jack's communicator and make him stop!"

But Jack's warship was too fast. Ryan and Palmer did not even have time to maneuver their starship to dodge, let alone stop Jack Litt.

The three warships collided.

Boom.
