After flirting with the cold and ruthless marshal, the entire intergalactic world started shipping t

A beam of extremely bright blue light struck like a meteor, instantly piercing the beast's throat.

Before the soldiers could react, they saw the ice rift fly off to another location, and at the same time, the marshal's cold voice came through the channel: "Maintain formation, don't get scattered by the alien beasts."

Faced with tens of thousands of organized Imperial mechs, the alien beasts quickly retreated, leaving behind a trail of gruesome corpses.

Ling Suyu frowned slightly as he looked at the red dots representing the alien beasts detected on the screen.

Something's wrong; the beast retreated far too quickly.

Moreover... the retreat trajectory was also very strange.

Instead of retreating, they fled to both sides.

It was as if there were something behind them that terrified them.

Liebing paused in the air for a few seconds, then suddenly increased its speed, activated its force field shield, and rushed through the scattering and fleeing horde of alien beasts, heading straight for their rear.

There was nothing there.

Ling Suyu looked around, his years of combat experience keeping him highly vigilant.

His icy pupils widened slightly, gleaming with a cold, inorganic light, like the most advanced detection machine, where no subtle movement could escape his eyes.

Their gazes suddenly fixed on one spot.

The next second, without hesitation, Rift Ice's beam gun aimed in that direction and fired a beam of extremely high energy.

The beam of light seemed to have hit something and was dissolved.

Immediately, a protective shield glowed white, the concealment failed, and the outline of a black mech gradually appeared.

Although it is black like the Imperial Army's mechs, the black mech in front of us is obviously much higher level. Judging from its appearance, it is at least 2S level, and maybe even higher. Moreover, it is an extremely rare stealth type mech.

A name immediately flashed into Ling Suyu's mind.

Blackfire, the space pirate.

The Empire is well aware that Blackfire possesses a 3S-class stealth mech.

His gaze was deep, and he directly manipulated the ice rift to rush forward.

The ice shattered at incredible speed, but the black mech was prepared and dodged the beam of light.

Ling Suyu's expression remained unchanged. Lie Bing flashed across the black mecha in an unexpected arc, and in just a few seconds, he appeared in front of the black mecha. He put away his beam gun and switched to a giant sword, which he thrust straight at the black mecha.

The black mecha remained unfazed, drawing its longsword to counter the attack. As the sword flashed, its blade gleamed with a sharp, cold light capable of severing a hair.

Swords clashed, seemingly sparking golden flames.

Liebing's attacks were incredibly fierce, but the black mecha was able to cope with the dense sword strikes while also looking for opportunities to retreat.

Ling Suyu did not use his full strength, because as soon as they started fighting, he realized that Hei Ying was not very aggressive towards him.

Thinking of this, he deliberately created a flaw.

Blackfire paused for a moment as he swung his longsword, clearly noticing the opening.

Ling Suyu had already found a way to dodge, but then he saw Hei Ying stop her attack, take the opportunity to turn around and run away.

Less than two seconds later, the black mecha gradually disappeared into the boundless space.

Ling Suyu: "..."

This campaign to wipe out the alien beasts on the border of Ninoto was an overwhelming victory; surprisingly, no soldiers died, and only some suffered minor injuries.

While the soldiers celebrated their victory on their respective warships, the senior officers assembled in Melville looked solemn.

Meng Ji looked worried: "Marshal, it's too dangerous for you to rush to the rear of the monsters all by yourself."

Ling Suyu glanced at him but did not speak.

"How else would we know that Blackfire was also there? If Marshal had been even a little slower, that guy would probably have escaped." Felix clenched his fist. "A top-tier stealth mech, and it's black, it's definitely Blackfire."

Jin Xiao put away his usual gentle smile: "Black Firefly has always been mysterious, disappearing for so long, yet he has appeared on the battlefield between our First Legion and the alien beasts. I wonder what he's up to."

Ling Suyu's gaze was distant, and the scenes of his brief encounter with Hei Ying flashed before his eyes.

I feel like... Blackfire's behavior is strange. It doesn't seem like the ruthless and cruel imperial wanted criminal he's rumored to be. He doesn't seem to want to hurt him.

After the meeting, Ling Suyu gave Yi Hao a private report on the battle, naturally mentioning Hei Ying as well.

Yi Hao snorted coldly: "Daring to charge into the battlefield alone, you're just as arrogant as before."

During the late emperor's reign, Black Firefly was notoriously active. Wherever there were strange beasts, he was there. He even hacked into the royal terminal multiple times, sending bloody photos of strange beast corpses to mock the late emperor for being surrounded by millions of people but only daring to be a coward and never going to the front lines.

Later, he even sent death threats, saying that if the late emperor dared to step out of the imperial star, he would kill him with his own hands.

At that time, the late emperor was surrounded by guards. The old emperor was timid by nature and was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night. The empire listed Blackfire as a first-class dangerous wanted criminal, but no one was able to catch him. Every time they managed to find a trace of him, the clues would be lost.

This situation continued until Yi Hao ascended the throne.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Blackfire disappeared, as if his hatred was directed only at the former emperor.

Ling Suyu looked at the emperor on the projection: "He appeared behind the strange beasts and tore a gap in the horde."

Yi Hao raised an eyebrow slightly: "So this means... he wasn't here to cause trouble, but actually helped the First Legion?"

Ling Suyu's expression was cold: "If I don't rush over, I probably won't have discovered his presence."

"Heh, doing good deeds anonymously?" Yi Hao rested his chin on his hand. "Speaking of which, hasn't Wen Bin been looking for him? I wonder if they've made contact yet."

Ling Suyu said, "It is still unclear what Black Firefly's purpose is. For safety's sake, it would be best for Your Majesty to stay on the Imperial Star for the time being."

"Alright." Yi Hao leaned back in his chair, slumping to the side. "Then I'll be a shut-in for now. Now that the beast tide has temporarily subsided, your show can continue filming. I heard the next stop is the Empire?"

"On the planet Flora."

"Oh, that place. It's not too far from Ninoto. Are you just going to go directly from here and not go back to the Imperial Star?" Yi Hao asked.

Ling Suyu lowered his eyes, his long, raven-feather-like eyelashes momentarily obscuring the expression in them: "Yes, I will stay here for a few more days to make sure the alien beasts are completely gone, and also to investigate the movements of the Black Firefly, before heading to Flora Star to meet up with them."

Yi Hao narrowed his eyes, but seemed to see through his disguise, and laughed: "Then it will be a few more days before I can see Shu Mu. I can only let the clay figure keep you company a little longer."

News of Ling Suyu's movements on Xingbo naturally reached the Emperor.

It must be said that not only was StarNet shocked, but he and the Queen were also quite shocked.

Although everyone knew the couple's relationship had improved, no one expected Ling Suyu to publicly display their affection.

The black-haired marshal, who had just been expressionless, blushed slightly and asked stiffly, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"

Yi Hao understood; this person didn't want to talk to him anymore and wanted to end the call.

It's true what they say, once a son grows up, he's gone.

He forced a smile and said, "That's all. Go find Shumu."

Then he saw the people on the projection say goodbye and immediately disappear.

Yi Hao: "..."

Is he in such a hurry to talk to his wife?

After ending her call with the emperor, Ling Suyu did not call back immediately. Instead, she returned to her bedroom, checked her appearance in front of the full-length mirror, and then initiated a call to Wen Shumu.

The continuous "beep" sound lasted for half a minute.

Ling Suyu's expression gradually became serious.

The beeping ended.

Wen Shumu did not accept it.
