Celestial Shield Star.
Star Realm Army Headquarters, an emergency meeting is currently underway.
Dozens of Star Realm Army high-ranking officials are gathered, but the atmosphere is extremely grave.
"According to the information from the front lines, it’s confirmed that the fleet sent by the Terran Empire has been destroyed by the Insect Race."
"Additionally, the projection of the Insect Hive Will continues to grow stronger, blocking all interstellar navigation routes within two thousand light-years."
"This means we are now isolated, and can only fend off the Insect Race’s massive army on our own."
A middle-aged general adorned with medals announced gravely.
"How can this be?"
"Even the Empire’s warships have lost contact?"
Upon hearing this news, the meeting room erupted in chaos.
The Terran Empire spans a vast domain, ruling over thousands of star systems, and has over a hundred cultivation planets under its command.
Not to mention.
There’s a rumor that within the Terran Royal Family resides a Tier Eight Tribulation Immortal Venerable.
In comparison, Shenmu Star is as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Yet, with the massive Insect Race invasion, even the Empire’s fleet cannot cope?
At the moment.
A sense of unprecedented crisis swelled within everyone in the Star Realm Army’s leadership.
"There is also another matter, according to the reports from our Shenmu Star military base, the Fang Family has supposedly been attacked by the Insect Race, and the entire clan has been annihilated."
The middle-aged general sighed before dropping another shocking piece of news.
"The Fang Family has been wiped out?"
The crowd was aghast upon hearing this.
The previously noisy meeting room fell into a sudden silence, where even the drop of a pin could be heard.
The Divinity Transformation Families, eternal for tens of thousands of years.
Though the Fang Family wasn’t particularly notable among the Divinity Transformation Families, the Fang Family Ancestor alone was comparable to a Star Realm Army troop of a hundred thousand soldiers.
Yet, such a significant Fang Family was exterminated just like that, without any warning?
If we also consider the Empire fleet’s loss of contact, it only further exacerbates an already dire situation.
"Who made the move?"
"The Fang Family has painstakingly operated in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range for thousands of years. Unless it was Star Luo Ancestor who acted, who could silently erase the entire Fang Family?"
Someone frowned deeply, unable to hold back his question.
"Though intelligence indicates that the Fang Family was annihilated due to an Insect Race attack."
"But according to the smart brain’s deduction, it seems the Fang Family’s destruction is related to this individual."
The middle-aged general activated the smart brain, immediately projecting a vast amount of data and images in front of everyone.
"Feng Yuan, eighteen years old, resident of Hulao Star, first place in the recent recruit assessment, assigned to the Ninth Warrior Battle Group’s elite Blade Squad..."
"The first mission he undertook was to single-handedly go to the Wind Thunder Mountain Range to rescue Han Yue’s team?"
"Sending a new recruit to rescue people? Isn’t that ridiculous!"
Upon examining these documents, several Star Realm Army generals looked increasingly grim.
As for those in the know, each was restless, sweat beading on their foreheads.
Some matters, though seemingly light until weighed, once weighted are unbearably heavy.
After all, it’s clear to anyone with eyes that there’s undoubtedly something wrong with this matter.
If Lu Yuan had died in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range, it would have been fine; no one would offend a Divinity Transformation Family over a mere recruit.
But they never dreamed.
Not only did Lu Yuan survive, but the Fang Family was annihilated!
Now even the Fang Family Ancestor is dead, leaving others wondering if they might be next.
At this thought, several Star Realm Army high-ups who had collaborated with the Fang Family felt cold sweat drip down, their bodies unable to stop trembling.
"Deputy Xu, you’ve always been in charge of military task scheduling."
"Tell us, what exactly is going on?"
At the head of the meeting room.
An elder with graying hair puffed on a cigarette, asking in a calm tone.
Yet everyone understood.
The elder, as the Star Realm Army’s corps commander, was known for his fiery temper. Though he appeared calm now, it was merely the calm before the storm!
"I..."
Under the gaze of everyone present.
A fierce-looking, imposing man was so terrified he was drenched in sweat, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Back then, he merely offered a small favor at someone’s request.
But who would’ve thought.
This seemingly trivial favor has now become a death warrant!
"A bunch of useless fools!"
"Take him away, and have the enforcement team thoroughly investigate this matter. I want a result within three days!"
Luo Lie slammed the table, sending the imposing man flying with a slap from across the air, scolding in frustration.
Currently, manpower is scarce, and it is a critical time for using available personnel.
In other matters, he could turn a blind eye.
But these idiots dared to brazenly collude with outsiders to harm colleagues, did they think he was dead?
Upon his words.
Several elite Star Realm Army members entered the meeting room, dragging the man, now like a dead dog, out.
As for the rest, they sat as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak.
"Commander, what should we do about Feng Yuan?"
The middle-aged general in charge of the meeting hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Although military regulations are strict, and no one is to defy them.
But with the Fang Family annihilated and the Insect Race pressing on, should they really offend a mysteriously talented young man because of the Fang Family?
Luo Lie remained silent, visibly troubled by the issue.
If handled according to military regulations.
Lu Yuan would turn against them, and the Star Realm Army would lose a significant number of elites as a result.
