Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy Officer (Part 19) Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy Officer (Part 19) In one of the thirteen battle ships besieging the Star Eagle, a man with a hooked nose watched the Star Eagle on the screen and let out a cold laugh.
“Situ Jin, today is your day to die.” As long as she’s gone, I’ll be the greatest contributor under my master’s command. When the time comes for my master…
The hooked-nose man’s eyes reddened with excitement, as if he’d already seen a boundlessly bright future for himself.
He didn’t notice that inside the seemingly impenetrable energy shield of the Star Eagle, some small changes were taking place.
“Admiral, you can’t take this risk!” Several cronies, upon learning of Gu Shengyin’s plan, tried to persuade her, “We should go, and you should stay inside the Star Eagle.”
Gu Shengyin shook her head: “At this time, the Star Eagle is not the safest place, trust me.”
She spoke with such determined conviction that no one could find the words to argue.
“Are you all prepared?” she asked the others.
“Reporting to the Admiral, we have made all the preparations,” they replied in unison.
Gu Shengyin looked at each one of them; these were the finest warriors of the Raging Lion Legion, undoubtedly beings with S-tier constitution. Only those with such robust physiques could withstand the pressure to come.
“Good! Everyone, make your preparations. Later on, I will give the order; I hope we can meet successfully at the Imperial Capital.”
After the others had left, only Enoch and Gu Shengyin remained.
Gu Shengyin activated the communicator and recorded an emotive video: “Your Majesty, this is Situ Jin. When you watch this video, I might have already found a way to survive, or perhaps I have left this world…”
Enoch was initially shocked, then he understood. He revealed an odd smile, seemingly surprised that the Iron Blood Admiral Situ herself was adept at playing emotional cards, and, by the looks of it, quite skilled at it.
Once Gu Shengyin finished recording and had sent the video, she saw Enoch’s expression.
She was not embarrassed, her voice carried a teasing tone, “What’s with that look? Playing a bit of cunning strategy, what does your expression mean? Could it be you think military folks are just about charging forward head-on?”
She deliberately sent that video to the Emperor to ensure it would be a thorn in his side.
If some in the Military Department dared to do such a thing, they needed to be prepared for the consequences.
“Not at all,” said Enoch with an amused smile. Suddenly, he stepped forward, grabbed her waist firmly, and kissed her without saying a word.
Gu Shengyin was startled for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his waist, deepening the kiss.
After a long while, Enoch released her slightly, his forehead resting against hers: “Be careful.”
Gu Shengyin spoke softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t be in danger, and you be careful too.”
They both knew that the risks of what they were about to do were significant. Of the eight people who had made the promise to meet at the Imperial Capital, it was uncertain how many could fulfill it.
Enoch gave her one last tight hug, then walked out without looking back.
Gu Shengyin walked toward a particular spot as well.
She lay down in an escape pod and closed her eyes.
“What’s going on!” The hooked-nose man’s expression hardened.
He saw the Star Eagle’s energy shield flicker briefly. This was not normal!
“Zoom in on the feed!”
