The Way of the Empress

Gu Che licked his lower lip.

He looked at Philip pitifully, bit his lip, and vaguely asked: “General… will… will you really give me a lot of money, so that I can live a prosperous life from now on, and I don’t have to go back to the frontier planet?”

“Of course, beauty…” Philip crawled over to him lustfully, and touched Gu Che’s skin.

Gu Che felt disgusted, but the moment Philip came over, he still took the initiative to wrap his arms around his neck and kiss him…

Philip was very satisfied with Gu Che’s initiative, and fondled him emotionally.

But at this moment, Gu Che’s weak and soft hands due to the injection of the muscle dissolving needle used a dazzling judo move, as he clung softly on Philip’s neck…

“Crack—” Philip’s neck twisted and broke with a sound.

Before Philip could even let out a whimper, he lost his breath, and fell on the bed with eyes wide open.

Gu Che’s pale face was filled with killing intent. The descendants of the Gu family, the former god of war, were unparalleled. Even if they lost their mental strength, even if they lost their muscles… with the experience and skills accumulated over the years, they could still kill people.

Gu Che didn’t care about putting on his clothes, and he didn’t care about soothing his aching arm from the muscle loss and overexertion. He went straight to the ground and picked up the control ball on the table. He immediately destroyed the Alliance’s hard-built linked planetary defense system control without hesitation.

In the next second, he picked up the fruit knife on the table, cut the skin on his arm without hesitation, and took out a miniature mecha from his flesh.

A notification of the success of the mission was sent to the headquarters as soon as possible.

The entire Lyra system’s defenses shut down at the same time.

Gu Che looked disdainfully at Philip, who was dead on the bed as if he was a corpse, and cursed in a low voice, “Trash!”

He was about to find some clothes to put on, and could take the opportunity to escape. At this moment, there was a slight rattling at the door Philip had ordered no one to enter.

Gu Che immediately hid behind the door vigilantly, holding a fruit knife stained with his own blood in his hand, ready to wait for an opportunity to give the person who entered the door a fatal blow when they came in.

“Squeak-” There was a sound.

With the sound of the door, as soon as Gu Che shot, the reaction of the incoming person was faster than his, and he grabbed his wrist in the next second. He was injected with a muscle dissolving needle and single-strength was not the opponent’s opponent at all. Gu Che’s mind was spinning rapidly, and he was planning how to kill the opponent, but he was stunned when he saw the face of this man in the Alliance uniform: ” Why are you here?”

It was Ding Hui.

“I was worried about you.” Ding Hui’s face was pale, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Che.

Gu Che put down his hands and frowned. “Your mission is completed?”

“The space station at Piano that allows the Alliance to quickly travel here as soon as possible was blown up by me 15 minutes ago.” Ding Hui immediately gave a positive answer.

As a sentinel, Gu Che didn’t feel uncomfortable being naked in front of the same sex.

On the contrary, Ding Hui looked at his fair and warm jade-like body after the injection of the muscle dissolving needle, and his ears were slightly red. Then, he noticed the bleeding wound on Gu Che’s arm. “Are you injured? Where’s Philip Loudon?”

“It’s okay, this is the wound I left when I took out the miniature mecha.” Gu Che pointed towards Philip on the bed for his second question. “Dead.”

Ding Hui looked at the corpse on the bed and released a breath. Taking out a medical box from his space hub, he found a quick-healing potion and sprayed it on the wound on Gu Che’s wrist, it healed in an instant. He then took out the injection for restoring mental strength, and gave it to Gu Che.

When this medicine is sprayed on wounds, although it can heal wounds rapidly, it can also be very painful.

But Gu Che’s face didn’t change. “What’s going on outside now?”

Now the most urgent thing is to know what’s going on outside, so that they can decide what to do next, how to get out, and how to deal with anyone they meet.

“I set fire to Mrs. Philip’s room before I came in. Now they’re busy putting out the fire and saving the general’s wife. It’s a mess. It’s a good time for us to get out.” Ding Hui said.

Gu Che gave a thoughtful “en”.

Ding Hui immediately took the miniature mecha from his hand and was about to start it. “I’ll drive. We’ll leave here and join the reinforcements while things are chaotic.”

“No, I’ll do it.” Gu Che retook the mini-mecha.

Ding Hui looked at him puzzled. Gu Che looked at his pale face and said: “Judging from your ugly look, you have made at least five space jumps on the way here, right? Major General, is your mental strength still stable?”

His mission target was far away.

Arriving here in a quarter of an house means Ding Hui has made at least five personal space transitions. Even if he is a powerful sentinel, this has a great impact on his mental strength and body.

His pale face is a giveaway.

“Okay.” Ding Hui didn’t struggle anymore after hearing his words, and handed over the mini-mecha.

Gu Che was about to use his newly recovered mental power to open the mecha, but Ding Hui blushed and looked at his naked body. “Hey! You should at least pay attention to your image and put on some clothes first. You’re a Major General and member of the aristocracy.”

Gu Che finally reacted and quickly put on his clothes. The two of them drove the mecha and advantage of the fire in Mrs. Philip’s room people were busy putting out to soar into the sky.

At the same moment, after a quarter of an hour, Moodys received the signal of the completion of the mission of his two deputy army commanders, and immediately issued the order to assemble.

The well-trained Osphia army assembled in less than ten minutes and boarded the Morningstar warship.

Fifteen minutes later, at four o’clock in the morning, the army of the three legions successfully jumped to the Lyra Galaxy and attacked to reclaim the territory that was once theirs.

Moodys drove Lucifer, the king of mechas, at the front. The huge mecha was ferocious, spewing out monstrous flames, and swallowing everything around him into ashes.

The surrounding interstellar space distorted as if torn apart.

Thousands of warships and small mechas spread out from the Morningstar like a swarm.

Zhuo Yang sat in the lounge of the warship, watching the beautiful galaxy grow brighter from battle with people from the Military Research and Logistics departments.

Through the military’s communication channel, he kept listening to Moodys’ command: “Destination reached, third and fourth divisions ready to attack!”

“Light cannons ready!”

“Action!”

“Bang bang bang—”

Firepower burst, and the dark sky was instantly illuminated by sources of energy from various mechas.

The white traces emitted by the light cannon created long white traces in the dark galaxy, making the entire galaxy more dazzling.

Zhuo Yang didn’t know what happened, and he didn’t know how long it took. He only knew that he just stared in Lucifer’s direction. His eyes didn’t move, and he didn’t let go even for a moment.

Then, he heard cheers from the soldiers on the military communication channel: “We won.”

“We won, we won.”

The heart that was worrying since the expedition instantly relaxed.

They won.

Win… Moodys is worthy of being Osphia’s god of war.

As soon as Moodys won, he immediately let the three major legions, mainly his own direct troops, the Dawn Legion and the Glory Legion, control all the planets across the system, and destroyed the Alliance’s establishments and space stations.

He personally planted the flag on the main star, proclaiming the liberation of all the people of the Lyra galaxy and announcing their return to the motherland again.

A wave of excitement and welcome came from all the residents of Lyra, who had been enslaved by the Alliance and treated as second-class citizens.

After the Lyra galaxy was once again fully under Osphia’s hands, all that was left was to wait for the Alliance to negotiate either amicably or by force.

Moodys and Zhuo Yang stayed in the Lyra galaxy for more than half a month before leaving after considering Moodys’ special identity and the needs the Emperor Star.

They left the Dawn and Glory Legions along with the two deputy commanders.

As the crown prince and crown princess, Moodys and Zhuo Yang, began the trip back. Most soldiers  were left in the Lyra galaxy.

This time, Moodys and Zhuo Yang didn’t take many people with them, just their own personal guards.

“I finally fulfilled one of my wishes, and I managed to reclaim the Lyra Galaxy.” Unlike their trip over, on the return trip, Moodys had a lot of time to accompany Zhuo Yang and talk to him.

Talking about the Lyra galaxy that he had just reclaimed with force, Moodys’s heart still felt quite heavy and in disbelief… It’s felt like a dream, he couldn’t believe that he actually did it and got Lyra back.

Zhuo Yang lightly held his hand and said with a smile: “It will be fine, everything is getting better. You have to believe in yourself. You are the best.”

Moodys looked at him, smiled lightly, and did not speak.

Zhuo Yang looked through the window and looked at the galaxy outside the window, and immediately recognized this star field: “Heart of the Rose, I didn’t expect us to pass here so quickly. I thought it would take a long time.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect that either.” Moodys said in a deep voice.

Zhuo Yang chatted with him casually. “After going back… After returning to Emperor Star, what else do you want to do? My Royal Highness.”

“Restore Marshal Xue’s family.” Moodys looked out the window. This beautiful star field reminded him of the tragedy that happened.

With the Lyra galaxy back, it’s time for him to do something else.

He vowed and said to Zhuo Yang in a firm tone: “This is the last thing I will do before I ascend the throne.”

He cannot bear for Xue Zhanting’s family to continue being wronged. He must be rectify things, and return Marshal Xue’s innocence and justice.

“Good. No matter what you do, I will support you and stand by your side as your strongest backing.” Zhuo Yang also felt that his decision was very good.

This meritorious general should not be nailed to the pillar of shame because of an emperor’s incorrect decision, and wronged for a lifetime…

 

Well that was fast… or is it?
