Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 17) Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 17) Gu Shengyin’s expression became solemn as she asked, “Is the news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reliable?”
The Crown Prince nodded, “This is from a deeply planted spy of mine; the information is absolutely accurate.”
Seeing Gu Shengyin still pondering, he grew anxious and urged, “Admiral Situ, I can assure you that this piece of information is true. I would never deceive you; I have feelings for you…”
Gu Shengyin raised her head abruptly and said sternly, “Your Highness, please watch your words.”
The Crown Prince fell silent, only gazing at Gu Shengyin on the video screen with a melancholic look.
He was fond of this woman; whether for personal feelings or political purposes, Situ Jin was his most favored woman. Even the Situ Family was happy to see their daughter become a Princess Consort.
But Situ Jin was unwilling. Within the Situ Family, no one could command Situ Jin; what she did not wish for, no one could force upon her.
Gu Shengyin wasn’t doubting the authenticity of the news, but communicating with the system to verify the existence of the matter.
In the High-Tech Dimension, the system’s advantage wasn’t as obvious as before. It took nearly two minutes for it to detect what Gu Shengyin wanted to know.
“The warship Star Eagle, where the host is located, is surrounded by several battleships lurking nearby…”
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince continued to press her, “Admiral Situ, do not hesitate any longer; it will soon be too late…”
Gu Shengyin suddenly looked up, her eyes bright, “No, it’s already too late.”
She swiftly activated her emergency communicator and, at the same time, every soldier on the Star Eagle heard her voice: “Star Eagle, initiate first-level defense, prepare for battle!”
The efficiency of the Ace Legion was extremely high; almost the instant they heard their commander’s words, everyone reacted.
Seen from afar, the surface of the speeding warship in the starry sky began to display a faint halo, as if a light shield was surrounding the Star Eagle tightly.
This was the energy shield of the Star Eagle.
No sooner had the energy shield risen than a dazzling white light appeared from the darkness, slamming fiercely onto the Star Eagle.
Seeing the energy shield on the display screen successfully withstand that ferocious strike, many showed a relieved expression: If the words of His Excellency the Admiral had been delayed by even one second, that powerful laser cannon would have hit the Star Eagle’s hull directly.
Even if the materials of the Star Eagle were the Empire’s topmost and strongest, a direct hit like that could have disabled half the operating system.
In what seemed an instant, the previously empty space around the Star Eagle was now filled with a dozen-odd densely-packed warships, firing several beams of light cannons toward the Star Eagle without any warning.
This time, there was no need for Gu Shengyin to say anything; the soldiers aboard the Star Eagle all knew what to do.
Gu Shengyin glanced at it calmly and accepted the communication from the Crown Prince that had rung countless times.
The Crown Prince’s anxious face appeared in the half air and asked as soon as he saw Gu Shengyin, “What happened over there?”
Gu Shengyin replied, “Nothing serious; just as His Highness mentioned, Star Eagle was just attacked.”
The Crown Prince wanted to say more, but seeing her composed demeanor, he thought it was not a severe issue and refrained from probing further.
A day later when he received the details, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was elegantly sipping tea, nearly lost his imperial composure and spat out his tea.
Surviving an ambush by thirteen first-class warships, and still calling it nothing serious?
