Ninth class citizen

Chapter 350 The oily skin wasn't even broken.

The three D-class warships were arranged in an arc, with all rows of gun barrels protruding from their sides, aiming at the same direction. The gun barrels gleamed with a rich white light, indicating that the charging was complete.

These warships are identical in shape and size to those currently in service with the Federal military, except that the area at the bow marked with the legion insignia is covered with a special coating so that no words are visible.

Not far behind them, a relatively large Class C warship floated silently.

Its main guns were also fully charged, and there were no markings on the hull.

On the bridge of a Class C warship, two men dressed in high-ranking officer uniforms were talking, one standing and one sitting.

If you zoom in a little closer, you can see that the sitting man is actually firmly restrained in the chair by an energy-blocking ring and specially made high-energy chains, his handsome face full of anxiety and anger.

"Major General Giroud!" he raised his voice, "Are you really going to go down this path to the bitter end? It's not too late to stop now!"

"Colonel Gu." Major General Giroud turned his back, picked up a wine glass from the table beside him, and brought it to the man's lips.

"Try it?" He asked calmly, a stark contrast to the tension on Gu Chen's face.

The latter turned his head with difficulty, avoiding the glass of wine: "Do you know what you're doing? That's His Majesty the President's private spaceship—that's treason!"

Major General Giroud didn't insist. He sat down in the sofa chair opposite Gu Chen, took a sip of the star-blue liquor, and showed a contented expression.

“We all know who was on that spaceship.” He said dismissively, “Just a lowly scoundrel. He’s dead, so be it. My loyalty to His Majesty the President is as clear as day. I would never dare to accept the charge of treason.”

Gu Chen's eyebrows furrowed, his face contorted with rage: "Your Majesty's publicly acknowledged fiancée, a top student at the Federal Gene Optimization Academy, is she worthless in your eyes? Moreover, even if she is only a ninth-class citizen, she is still a federal citizen and should not be the target of our guns! Not to mention, Colonel Yuan and so many innocent people are on the spaceship!"

"Hehehehe." Major General Giroud laughed.

"Sometimes I really can't see through you." He laughed for a while before calming down and saying:
"Although you are not from one of the nine great families, the Gu family has considerable influence in the capital star circle. How can you be willing to submit to Connor, who came from a gladiator background?"

"You were just born into a good family, what right do you have to speak of our commander like that?" Gu Chen glared at him angrily: "He will find out the truth and avenge me sooner or later!"

"Tsk tsk." Major General Giroud shook his head: "I originally had a little compassion, thinking that if you could abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I might not be unable to spare your life."

"Since you are so stubborn, then you and Major General Connor will share the blame for the murder of His Majesty the President's fiancée."

"Major General Giroud!" Gu Chen raised his voice: "I can overlook your previous deception and scheming, but you must pull back from the brink—everything you do leaves a trace. Have you thought about how you will face His Majesty the President's wrath?"

"That is a responsibility that you, the entire First Army, must shoulder." Major General Giroud downed his drink in one gulp, stood up, and looked at his adjutant who hurried in.

"Major General, everything is arranged." The adjutant, also wearing the rank of senior colonel, didn't even glance at Gu Chen.
"In three minutes, the target will leave the warp space and enter firing range. Within the next fifteen minutes, the six warships of the First Division will initiate self-destruct procedures—please transfer to another ship immediately."

"Very good." Major General Giroud grabbed the cloak hanging to the side, and turned back to look at Gu Chen, whose eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Don't worry, whether it's Connor or everyone in the Gu family, they will soon be personally sent down by His Majesty the President to join you."

The alloy door closed, shutting out Gu Chen's angry curses from inside.

Major General Giroud and his adjutant boarded a small warp drive, emerged from the belly of a Class C warship, circled around to the other side of the designated battlefield, and hovered to observe from afar. A circular ripple spread through the void, and a streamlined, silver-blue spaceship slowly emerged.

The high-energy warp drive has amazing propulsion power and takes much less time to eject from warp space than a regular warp spacecraft, but it still failed to activate the spacecraft's energy shield in time before being attacked.

Without the slightest hesitation, all five D-class warships fired their energy cannons simultaneously, and white light instantly filled their field of vision.

Onboard the C101 high-energy warp drive spaceship, everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill in their hearts.

Miss Nan spoke with such certainty that they all assumed His Majesty the President had a backup plan, most likely sending reinforcements to counterattack the roadblocks. But they never expected that this was not the case at all.

At such close range, with such a fierce attack, there was absolutely no room for maneuver.

Even Yuan Hong, a seventh-level martial artist, had no chance of escaping.

The spaceship will completely melt away within seconds, leaving not a trace of debris.

As the silver-blue spaceship was completely enveloped by the overwhelming white light, Gu Chen bit his lip tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

He truly hadn't expected Major General Giroud to be so ruthless. He was one of the earliest high-ranking officers to serve under the president, and had been promoted to major general and commander of the Fourth Army Corps, enjoying immense prestige. Why would he do such a thing?
Blood spilled from the corner of his lips, and his wrists and ankles, which had been tightly locked, were already torn and bleeding.

It was hateful that Giru valued him too much, using locks specifically designed to deal with high-level alien beasts. Even with all his strength, he could only watch helplessly as the spaceship was completely engulfed in endless white light.

"Interesting." Major General Giroud smiled, watching the scene with great interest, his hands clasped together and then slightly separated.

"Bang!" he whispered.

But the fireworks he had been expecting did not appear.

The silver-blue spaceship, completely covered by the energy cannon fire, remained intact even after the white light and fire dissipated, and its surface coating appeared to be completely undamaged.

Major General Giroud's smile vanished, his eyes narrowed, revealing a ruthless glint.

"A bunch of idiots!" he cursed. "Tell them to get this done quickly!"

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant, without waiting for him to speak, had already issued a series of instructions through the First Division's command system.

Those shipboard sergeants only knew how to obey orders; they didn't know who they were attacking, let alone that they too would be killed in a quarter of an hour.

After receiving the order to attack at all costs, they launched several more salvos.

Not only the D-class warships, but also the C-class warship where Gu Chen was located launched several rounds of main gun attacks under remote control.

However, the full-power energy output, enough to destroy a planet, seemed to fall into another dimension, causing no damage whatsoever to the silver-blue Tianjia spaceship.
