Chapter 25, Don't Be Too Happy Too Soon.

"You finally show up," Yun Xu sneered.

She and Luo Yi had returned to the driver's seat. Moran had indeed prepared a backup plan. These newly appeared warships were no longer disguised as space pirates. They were probably already stationed at some wormhole, waiting for a divine intervention like this. 

Moran laughed heartily. She liked opponents with strong vitality. "What? The Third Princess has heard of my name?"

"Yes, the dog of Yun Ning. I've heard a little about you," Yun Xu responded with a smirk. Her lone small mech had just consumed almost all of its energy, but now surrounded by hundreds of starships, she seemed as relaxed as if she were on a pleasure cruise.

Yun Xu lazily leaned against the driver's seat and snorted, "Why not pretend to be space pirates now? Do you think victory is within your grasp?"

"Otherwise, do you think you still have a chance to turn the tables?" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly appeared. Luo Yi noticed that when Yun Xu heard this voice, she seemed to be suddenly caught in a tense emotion.

The communication screen flickered a few times, and the image changed to show a face that was slightly similar to Yun Xu's. If Yun Xu's temperament was cold and distant, then this person on the screen was nakedly ambitious.

The background behind the woman was also a cosmic galaxy, but the picture quality was affected by gravitational interference and appeared unclear. Luo Yi guessed that she was hiding behind some wormhole, monitoring this assassination from a safe place.

The woman's lips curled up, and her plump lips touched each other. Her low, hoarse voice uttered words that made Yun Xu frown, "Sister, I have prepared a small gift for you. I hope you will like it."

As she spoke, Moran suddenly fired a colored signal flare. Yun Xu narrowed her eyes and looked through the porthole. She saw countless warships surrounding them, flashing with cold light, and raising the star flag at the same time. The silver fragments were like scattered stars, rising and gathering above the warships, gradually forming the pattern of a rising morning star.

The Star That Never Falls in the Milky Way.

Yun Xu slightly lifted her head and looked towards the symbol she had saluted countless times during moments of glory, the representative of the Milky Way Empire. 

Seeing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but shiver. He anxiously turned to look at Yun Xu's expression, with Yun Ning's low laughter in his ears. Her voice, compressed through the telecommunication signal, asked in a strange and distorted manner, "Sister, do you like it?" 

The army surrounding them was none other than the Star Blade Empire army under Yun Xu's command. 

"...They have betrayed you." Luo Yi's tone was low, and the worry in his eyes almost materialized. Saying these words, he felt a sourness in his eyes and a suffocating pain in his heart, as if he could feel it himself. 

Even as an outsider, he didn't know how difficult it must be for Yun Xu. 

"Yun Xu, none of this matters right now. We need to find a way to escape!" Seeing Yun Xu in a daze, Luo Yi racked his brain to comfort her. He reached for the control lever and his mind automatically began calculating a route to break through the encirclement. With their ammunition depleted and no escape pods left, it was impossible to break through the dense barrage unscathed. 

But! If they could rush to the side of Moran's main ship and occupy her blind spot, the other warships would surely be intimidated! 

"Damn it, it would be even better if it were Yun Ning here!" Luo Yi cursed under his breath and was about to activate the mech. However, at that moment, his hand was held back by Yun Xu. 

Her cold and slender hand tightly grasped his fingertips, stopping him from pulling the control lever. Yun Xu suddenly chuckled with her head lowered, facing the communication screen with a menacing glint in her eyes. "Sister, this kind of thing can't bring me down. By the way, I'll tell you a regrettable fact." 

"What?" Yun Ning's eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling a sense of unease.

Yun Xu also smiled softly. Yun Ning, her sister, didn't surprise her at all. Even though she had secretly prayed that everything she saw in the time and space turbulence was just an illusion, and even though she still had a slight fantasy about her sister, Yun Xu had made full preparations just in case. Unfortunately, the day when it was put to use had arrived.

Luo Yi felt Yun Xu's hand on his back tighten involuntarily. She smiled like a villain, but what was she really thinking? Along with Yun Xu's soft laughter, a huge shadow spread out beyond the hundreds of warships, as if a deep-sea monster hiding in the universe had opened its bloody mouth. At the same time, Yun Xu condensed her spiritual power and opened a protective shield outside her mecha.

"Yun Ning, you're not the only one who can build a private army!"

As Yun Xu's words fell, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of warships spread out like a net around her, like a real rising star, gradually appearing. Luo Yi recognized it as the Empire's latest stealth technology! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, it turned out that Yun Xu's army had been lurking around them all along!

The communication screen flickered, and Yun Ning suddenly became furious. She slapped the screen and rushed forward, her whole body trembling with excitement. "Yun Xu! How dare you..."

Yun Ning's words were drowned out by the gunfire.

Everything happened too fast. Like lightning and thunder, the situation was reversed in an instant, and tens of thousands of mechas opened fire without hesitation, destroying Morland's fleet as easily as crumpling a piece of paper.

Luo Yi was still in shock. Yun Xu had actually thought this far ahead. The difficult battles and beautiful counterattacks before were all traps to lure the enemy in deeper. Her acting skills were simply worthy of a Galaxy Star Network performance award!

"What are you thinking?" Yun Xu was surrounded by gunfire, but she still had the leisure to raise her hand and touch Luo Yi's chin. Luo Yi was startled, and her gaze met Yun Xu's deep eyes. "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? Why did your subordinates defect to Yun Ning?" Roy withdrew his hand, feeling a chill run through his.

Yun Xu chuckled and took his hand, saying, "They're not my soldiers. The Star Blade Empire's army is loyal to the Galactic Empire, including me. Everything I do is for my country, and I lead them to battle not to consolidate my own power."

Yun Xu lifted her chin slightly, seeming unconcerned. "Yun Ning's covert actions were within my expectations. This small group of imperial soldiers followed him because they misjudged him. I feel sorry for them."

"So, you took this opportunity to completely cut ties with them and root out the rebels," Roy seemed to understand.

Yun Xu had long been planning a big move. She pretended to be at a disadvantage, step by step leading out the rebels and Yun Ning, all for today's final trap. But...

"Who would like to be betrayed? Yun Xu, if you're feeling uncomfortable, just say it. I won't mock you," Roy said.

Roy looked serious, and Yun Xu couldn't help but be taken aback. She looked into his clear eyes and instinctively tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Who told you I'm uncomfortable? I..."

Before she could finish, Roy grabbed her hand with both of his, his voice seeming to catch. Yun Xu felt him squeeze her hand tightly, warmth spreading from his fingertips.

Roy lowered his gaze and said, "Your hands are very cold. Let me warm them up for you."

He sat sideways, slightly bowing his head. The gunfire outside the mech occasionally illuminated his sharp profile. Yun Xu's eyebrows twitched. She had almost forgotten that Elijah was such a soft-hearted person.
