Chapter 767: Assassination of Emperor
The breakthrough in spatial technology filled the young man with joy, symbolizing another elevation in the Empire's strength!
However, at this very moment, no one had anticipated that a sinister figure would stealthily launch a surprise attack on the young man from behind. Only Marshal had a faint sense of it, and he roared, "How dare you!"
His voice thundered, transforming into soundwaves that surged toward the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure was sent flying backward, revealing its true form—a Universe race that resembled a snake!
The young man's face darkened. This was his Imperial Star, and yet a Universe race had dared to assassinate him. If this were to get out, it would be a subject of ridicule!
"Marshal, investigate and find out who sent him to assassinate me. I want that person's demise!" The young man ordered.
Marshal nodded respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured, no one can escape my grasp."
The assassination incident was known to only a few, but for some reason, the news had leaked out, leaving many Empire residents astonished.
Who could be so reckless as to send someone to assassinate the Emperor?
In fact, at that moment, Marshal had a profound sense of bewilderment. He was conducting spatial technology experiments at the time, trapped in a special space. Clearly, that was the perfect opportunity to assassinate the Emperor. So why did the attempt happen only after he emerged? He even suspected that it might have been deliberate, intentionally allowing him to discover the assassin's presence, and intentionally failing the assassination. But if that were the case, what was the assassin's true objective?
Interrogation went smoothly, and from the mouth of the Universe race assassin, they learned about the person behind him—a noble named Mad Tiger Marquis.
Following this lead, Marshal discovered something else. Mad Tiger Marquis appeared to have connections with Red Alert Empire. He couldn't help but suspect that this was a conspiracy involving Red Alert Empire.
"Marshal, the Universe race assassin couldn't withstand the torture and has died, but before he died, he revealed his affiliation—Shadow Hall," a soldier reported to Marshal.
Upon hearing the words "Shadow Hall," a shadow of concern flickered in Marshal's eyes. This organization was notorious within the Empire and had caused considerable trouble even before the Imperial Star faced any issues.
Even when he had tried to take action in the past, he couldn't eliminate them completely. It was as if this organization was like a group of elusive rats, always hiding in the shadows.
"Red Alert Empire and Shadow Hall have connections? No wonder even two Generals died in battle. It seems these two organizations have a deep-rooted relationship with each other," Marshal thought, convinced that these organizations had joined forces against the Empire. Otherwise, how could two Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses be easily killed?
It was worth noting that a single strike from them could destroy an ordinary planet—a power level of Large Galaxy class!
If they wanted to escape, it should have been possible. However, the result was that they had both died.
Marshal couldn't believe there was no trap involved in this.
"Shadow Hall may be hard to find, but Red Alert Empire is right there. This time, Red Alert Empire must be eradicated!"
Not long after, Emperor issued the order for General Li Si to take action, carrying the Empire's latest technology to suppress Red Alert Empire.
Despite the severe shortage of warships, Imperial Star provided him with a fully equipped fleet, second in strength only to Marshal—a Large Galaxy of the eighth order.
They believed that with General Li Si's capabilities and the latest spatial technology, he could undoubtedly complete the mission.
Even if you combined the strength of General Wang Hu and General Paris, they wouldn't be a match for General Li Si. The gap in power was significant at each level of Large Galaxy class.
General Li Si was brimming with confidence as he departed from Rota Star with his fleet.
On the other side, Su Chen received information from a spy who had stayed on Rota Star. It was reported that a member of Shadow Hall had attempted to assassinate Emperor, and they had framed Red Alert Empire for the deed. As a result, Emperor had dispatched a Large Galaxy of the eighth order General on his way to Red Alert Empire.
Su Chen blinked, thinking, "A member of Shadow Hall trying to assassinate you? Not my problem!"
After all, the two Empires were originally enemies, and even without the involvement of Shadow Hall, a decisive battle was only a matter of time.
"Just a Large Galaxy of the eighth order? Given their current strength, it might be a bit challenging."
The previous encounter with Paris and Wang Hu had relied on the cooperation of superweapons and super soldiers to yield such results. Replicating that scenario would be difficult.
Furthermore, the other side would surely be cautious of Red Alert Empire. Sending only one General indicated that they must have some powerful weaponry with them.
Su Chen didn't pay it much attention; no matter how many enemies came, he would deal with them all.
The Milky Way crossing point was now firmly in the hands of Red Alert Empire. Rota Empire's soldiers filled the planet, and most of them, after being captured, had refused to surrender and had become miners. Some had witnessed the might of Red Alert Empire and chose to surrender directly, joining Red Alert Empire's auxiliary army. They were tasked with overseeing the military personnel who hadn't surrendered.
Using their own people to manage them was a tactic that had been used before and had proven highly effective. Sometimes, the cruelest individuals weren't the enemies but one's own people.
"Can we go to the other side of the Milky Way from here?" Su Chen asked.
"Commander, it used to be possible, but in recent years, something seems to have changed within the Milky Way. Many warships that entered have gone missing and didn't make it to the other side."
"Is it similar to what happened with the warship during the previous experiment?" Su Chen recalled the previous incident.
"It's different. Originally, when any warship entered the Milky Way's range, communication would be interrupted, but as long as the direction was correct, they could make it to the other side of the Milky Way. However, recently, there seems to be a problem. Many warships that entered the Milky Way have experienced directional disorientation and have been unable to exit. According to the records here, there was an incident where a warship in the Milky Way saw another warship circling there. They approached to investigate, and everyone on board disappeared, but the warship's system remained intact. They later infiltrated the system of that warship and discovered a horrifying truth."
"The people on that warship seemed to be controlled, jumping one by one from the warship into the Milky Way, disappearing without a trace."
Su Chen pondered, finding it all rather like a horror story.
"Not all warships are unable to pass, right?"
"Only about thirty percent of warships can safely reach the other side of the Milky Way."
"Then let's give it a try. If we don't figure out the situation in the Milky Way, it could be a big problem once we control the Milky Way system."
Under Su Chen's orders, warship after warship set off from the planet, entering the Milky Way from different locations. This time, it wasn't enough to have Alice control the warships; Red Alert soldiers had to be involved.
Each warship was equipped with tens of thousands of Red Alert soldiers, covering almost all types of Red Alert troops.
