Capítulo 1314: Chapter 673: Wolves at the Empire Mother Star’s Gates

“Li Ming, is it really you…”

The Navigator was taken aback, looking at the figure before him, his mind a bit confused.

Why send a student again, rather than coming personally to mediate?

“Lord Navigator.” Li Ming greeted simply but did not respond to this question.

His body surface was covered in armor, the usual mark of Azure Dragon’s activation.

A voice from within the Mecha briefly explained, “Let Li Ming represent me; once there, I will descend directly.”

Some kind of advanced spatial technique… the Navigator realized, not dwelling on this issue, but instead said, “A small Star Gate has been constructed, leading directly to the vicinity of the Empire Mother Star. Please follow me.”

While Li Ming was on his way, the Navigator was not idle either; he had constructed a small Star Gate in advance to prevent Azure Dragon from being delayed on the road.

Of course, Abel’s people also contributed.

Li Ming nodded. After the Navigator input the coordinates, he asked, “How is the situation?”

The Navigator paused, not knowing what situation Azure Dragon was interested in, simply pulled out a smart terminal, calling up a scene:

“The Empire Mother Star has entered a state of high alert. The ‘Empire Shield’ is operating at full power, with numerous warships in constant patrol.”

“There were quite a few Raiders taking this opportunity to rush into the Empire to burn, kill, and plunder. But half a month ago, after the Joint Organization issued a warning, their numbers significantly decreased…”

Li Ming nodded. The warning issued by the Joint Organization was directed at these Raiders taking advantage of the chaos.

If they attempt to exploit the mediation period, they will be hunted by all members.

“…In addition, various civilizations and forces are colluding with the high-ranking officials of the Empire to smuggle high-quality assets…”

The Navigator further explained, “In the vicinity of the Empire Mother Star, many forces have already settled, including the Pioneers, the Holy Revolution Army, Rebel’s Edge… along with various large and small forces and people from civilizations. Many from the High-level Life Form Union have also arrived…”

The Chaotic Star Gap’s distance from the Empire is neither too far nor too close, but there are those closer or always lurking within the Empire, who are even faster.

They occupied positions early to see if there was any advantage to gain.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, having explicitly indicated in the background that about forty X Level Life Forms would coordinate with him in entering the Empire, including nine Council Seat members.

Of course, he knew there must be some cunning individuals who did not notify him but still came.

“The Empire currently has no actions, presumably wanting to handle the primary conflicts first…” the Navigator added.

These individuals are essentially just muddying the waters, but only by dealing with the muddying party can you catch any fish.

First dealing with these individuals would only trap one in a quagmire.

The Navigator hesitated again, “As for the Federation and the Star Alliance, they have made no statements during this period. It’s unknown if there are any movements internally due to lack of personnel.”

“Ignore them.” Li Ming said lightly, the Navigator hesitated but said nothing in the end.

After navigating for another five or six days, they arrived at the location of the “Black Star Gate,” guarded by people from the Pioneers.

Under normal circumstances, the spatial fluctuations of such a “Black Star Gate” would be easily detected by patrol fleets.

However, the patrol fleets are currently in pursuit of the Raiders exploiting the situation, leaving no time to patrol these seemingly quiet places.

After spending half a day, they finally flew out from the other side of the Star Gate. Although not far from the Empire Mother Star, it still required three or four days of travel.

On this side, there were also people from the Pioneers guarding, and Li Ming saw an old acquaintance.

“Blackbeard?” He raised an eyebrow.

Blackbeard looked at the magnificent Mecha in front of him, his expression excited, “Lord Azure Dragon…”

Thanks to his relationship with Azure Dragon, Blackbeard’s status within the Pioneers was already as high as it could be, just below a few X Level Life Forms.

After a brief exchange, Li Ming continued his journey towards the Empire Mother Star.

…

The Empire Mother Star was equipped with the top-tier defense system known as the “Empire Shield,” reputedly capable of withstanding the simultaneous attacks of 100 X Level Life Forms, utilizing “Energy Resonance Coordination Technology,” though no one had tested if it could truly withstand such an assault, leaving doubts about whether it was just a gimmick.

Outside the Imperial Mother Star, the golden beehive-like Energy Shield extended into an endless array of warships, enveloping the entire Mother Star layer upon layer.

The shimmering blue Shield appeared like a blue sun in the twilight, its core shimmering with golden radiance.

Some were the defensive fleet intrinsically part of the Empire Mother Star, while others had been drawn in during this period, adding bricks to the iron wall.

No one knew how many savage dogs lay in wait outside the seemingly desolate and peaceful starfield, ready to strike.

Until a streamlined silver spacecraft intruded into the radar warning range, resembling the scepter of an aristocrat of the Star River, its entire body clad in mirror armor cast from liquid secret silver.

As starlight glided over the ship’s hull, millions of starry projections refracted, seemingly draping the entire galaxy over its body.

Three spirally growing crystal diamonds were embedded on the ship’s bow, every acceleration resulting in a pale gold starlight trailing from their tips.

On the flanks of the ship floated dynamic Star Crown Emblems, these liquid palladium cast reliefs changing colors with viewing angles.

The observation personnel, noticing this immediately, felt their hearts pound wildly, not daring to delay, quickly reporting the sighting.

The Empire’s defensive structures were temporarily integrated, with Wald acting as the temporary Commander in Chief, and upon receiving the report from his subordinates, he recognized it at a glance; this was the Royal carriage, and the passenger should be—Abel.
