"It’s Prince Clive, the biological uncle of the current Your Majesty, Joseph V."
Everyone gasped in unison, some eyes even flashed with anger, "So, was this incident orchestrated by the Royal Family?"
The atmosphere on the scene immediately changed; everyone’s faces were filled with horror.
"Don’t talk nonsense, how can you be so disrespectful?"
Everyone hurriedly stopped; such words should not be spoken.
Horace also dropped his cynical attitude and said solemnly, "Don’t say anything if there’s no evidence. We still don’t know what happened on Capital Star, and we don’t know the situation at the Military Department yet. You need to understand that you are just Military Academy students; the Military Department doesn’t manage you directly, let alone the Royal Family."
"We understand," the crowd hurriedly admitted their mistake.
"It’s good that you understand. This matter is very complicated; if you want to know the reasons behind it, you can only wait for the investigation report afterward."
"Horace, do you know about Qin Mo and Su Ye? We saved more than a dozen people from the First Military Command College, but none of them knew where Qin Mo and Su Ye had gone. They had lost sight of them and never saw them again."
Qin Mo had a good relationship with Elbert; everyone specifically looked for him during the search but couldn’t find him at all.
"These two people..." Horace hesitated for a moment before saying, "Stop looking."
"They might be dead, or they might not be dead, but regardless of whether they are dead or not, they’re not coming back," Horace sighed helplessly, "What a pity. Those boys were really good; even when faced with a catastrophe, they were still holding back the enemy to protect their classmates, fighting until the last moment."
In the hall, everyone fell silent.
Although they didn’t fully understand the implications in Horace’s words, everyone understood that Qin Mo and Su Ye couldn’t come back. Although they had only been in school for half a year and hadn’t spent much time together, everyone had a deep impression of them and sincerely respected and admired them.
They were true members of the First Military Command College; proud but not arrogant, confident, calm, rational, strong, and willing to take responsibility, standing in front of all their classmates until the last moment.
They were still so young.
But they couldn’t return, and from what Horace suggested, he was advising everyone to consider them dead...
Students from ordinary families, who used to be a bit cynical, thinking that nobles enjoyed the best resources and occupied so much yet didn’t know how to give back, just parasites of the Empire. But at this moment, they all felt ashamed.
Whether it was Qin Mo, Su Ye, Xia Huangyu, or Lin Fu, they all lived up to their identities and responsibilities. As members of the Guardian Family, they fulfilled the family’s original mission and promise with their lives and blood.

They were all admirable people.
Those sitting on the ground resting silently, treating their wounds, all held back their tears, not letting themselves cry out loud, each with red-rimmed eyes. Thinking of Lin Fu and Xia Huangyu, who were taken away by the prisoner leader, they eventually couldn’t hold back, and tears fell.
"What about Lan Yin from the Stuart Star System Military Academy? From the beginning of the battle, there was no sign of her," noted Ye Fei, who had a keen eye.
"Right, Lan Yin also had a Divine-level Mecha."
"Lan Yin disappeared, the Stuart Star System Military Academy was completely wiped out, not a single one survived."
"So she also fell into Prince Clive’s hands?"
"Perhaps!" Horace’s attention was mainly on Lin Fu, and he was not very concerned about the other academies, "By the way, what about Nolan?"
