A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

*************

......

Bambo was taken to the research institute to examine the actual side effects of this so-called power-enhancing drug, while the Prince's ship continued to pursue the Crown Princess's Orion subordinates.

Bamba wasn't really important; Orion didn't care at all that Bamba had lost.

Bamba was not his trump card at all; letting Bamba sink into outer space and die without any proof was exactly what he wanted.

He knew that Bamba couldn't stop the Crown Prince, so he deliberately sent Bamba to his death to disgust the Crown Prince.

Orion's true strength lies in the heavens.

With the Crown Princess in hand, what is a useless Bambo?

The small starship that had taken Gao Tian hostage escaped to the entrance of the Lyrnia wormhole.

In the cold, cosmic space, a wormhole-stabilizing gate formed by a massive golden energy ring slowly rotates.

Inside the door was a wormhole vortex; outside was the steel defenses of the Third Legion of Liernia.

Their Dragonfly Army, the top air combat squadron in Lehrnia, with unparalleled dynamic vision, would never allow a small starship to sneak past.

Dozens of dark gray warships, their cannons menacing, stood united against the outside world, their energy shields fully activated, forming an insurmountable steel Great Wall that blocked the small starship's path.

Carlo stood on the bridge in front of the black hole gate, staring intently at the approaching small starship and prince ship.

The small starship had nowhere to escape, trapped between the Third Legion's cannons and the Prince's ship pursuing from behind.

It was completely crushed.

The Prince-class destroyer locked onto its target, its engines humming, maintaining a posture ready to pounce at any moment. It issued a communication: "Listen up, you insectoids on the starship ahead! You are completely surrounded. There is no escape. Release the hostages immediately, cease all violence, lay down your weapons, do not attempt to delay or test our limits, surrender immediately!"

There was complete silence on the communication channel; there was no response from the starship ahead.

Lan stood at the porthole of the cockpit, looking at the starship opposite her with nowhere to escape.

"drop--"

A video communication request suddenly came from the small starship on the other side.

Lan stared at the communication request that popped up on the screen, lowered her eyes, and answered.

The huge main screen lit up instantly.

The scene shows the interior of the cockpit of that small starship.

The lighting was dim, with twisted pipes and flashing malfunction lights in the background, but a beam of light shone down from above, making the image very sharp.

A person was tied to the support pillar in the middle of the driver's cab.

High in the sky.

Gao Tian's hands were tied behind a pillar, his head was hanging down, and his eyes were closed, clearly indicating that he was unconscious.

He had a penetrating wound in his abdomen, from which he bled profusely, leaving a large bloodstain on his clothes.

Perhaps the small starship had shaken too violently when it was bombarded, because his wound reopened, and fresh blood seeped out, seeping onto the fabric.

A new window has been added to video communication.

Orion's face occupied the top right corner of the screen.

He was dressed in his signature black prince's uniform, sitting elegantly in a high-backed chair, leisurely admiring Lan's expression.

Seeing Gao Tian bleeding again, Orion couldn't help but chuckle, his smile deepening. "My lovely little nephew, how have you been? You've already executed that traitor, haven't you? Do you like the gift your uncle gave you?"

Blue's face remained expressionless, but his hand, which was off-camera, was clenched into a fist.

He stared at Orion's familiar face, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.

Why didn't his father kill Orion back then?

"They didn't kill him, they sent him to the research institute. Once the real side effects are detected, let's see what chance you have left."

Orion stopped laughing.

He raised his chin and said in a cold, mocking tone, "To be soft-hearted towards a traitor, you really are a little brat."

"I'd be the one who's really crazy if I followed your line of thinking."

"That's really rude of you," Orion scoffed.

Then he tapped the screen on Gao Tian's side: "Alright, enough of the reminiscing, let's get down to business. The rules of the game are simple."

He reached out and pointed to the enormous wormhole portal outside the screen:

"Get your Third Legion's trash out of the way right now. Clear the door."

"Then, you, and your flagship, step back. Step back where I can't see you."

"Don't follow me. Not even a step."

Lan sneered, "What are you dreaming of? Your men are sitting ducks."

Orion raised an eyebrow, leaned forward, and moved closer to the screen.

He looked at Lan as if she were a stubborn little brat, utterly emboldened: "My dear little nephew, what's the use of pretending to be so calm? You think you can scare me? And look at the Crown Princess in the middle!"

"Listen carefully, Your Highness. Clear the wormhole and let them pass through, and don't follow. Your Highness, if you take one step and I spot you, I'll chop off one of your fingers. If you come aboard and attack my ship, I'll kill you outright. You can try and see if you can rescue them faster or I can kill them faster."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orion didn't even turn his head; he simply waved a finger casually in the air.

In the cockpit of the small starship, a female insect next to Gao Tian received the order and, without hesitation, transformed one of her hands into sharp claws, then unhesitatingly scratched at the wound on Gao Tian's side.

Gao Tian's already severe wound was cruelly torn open again by that hand, and the area stained with blood quickly expanded.

Orion's men are brainwashed into a kind of loyalty to him. They are not afraid of death and only obey Orion's orders. They will actually obey Orion's orders to kill Gao Tian.

Orion scoffed, "Will you let me pass or not?"

Lan gritted her teeth, staring at Gao Tian's even larger wound on the screen.

Gao Tian didn't have to go through all this; he's going to kill Gao Tian.

It wasn't Gao Tian's flesh that was torn apart, but his heart.

Every second was torture.

Orion watched Blue's pain and struggle, and then he raised his hand again.

The female insect reached out her hand again.

"Wait." Lan turned to Orion, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Orion's nauseating smile on the screen.

calm.

Don't act impulsively.

His teeth snapped uncontrollably, piercing his own lips, leaving a strong, metallic taste in his mouth.

Gao Tian has been temporarily taken away... As long as Orion still wants to use him to threaten him into abdicating, he will not die for the time being.

They have one more card to play: the undercover agent lurking among Orion's men.

There's still a chance. There's still room for maneuver.

If we rush in now, Gao Tian will surely die, and he will die too. Then everything will be over.

a few seconds.

Lan finally loosened her clenched fist. The veins on the back of her hand bulged, and there were bloodstains between her fingers.

He turned his head to the ship's communication channel and gave Carlo orders in a hoarse voice:

"Carlo, move aside from the wormhole."

On the bridge of the Black Hole Gate, Carlo suddenly closed his eyes.

With the Crown Princess taken hostage, Orion has obtained her, and the consequences are unimaginable.

But what could they do if they didn't move aside? The Crown Prince and Crown Princess died on the spot?

Carlo abruptly opened his eyes, his tone resolute, and issued an order into the Third Legion's communications network:

"Third Legion! All troops, listen to my command!"

"Disengage from combat stance!"

"Defense matrix deactivated!"

"channel......"

Carlo's voice paused for a moment, then, with immense difficulty, he finally roared:

"Get out of the way—!!!"

His roar echoed across the deathly silent bridge.

Carlo sometimes couldn't understand it either.

For some reason, it seems like justice can never defeat evil.

What did they do wrong? They simply didn't do anything evil.

There's a saying among humans: "Evil people will always be punished by other evil people."

Why? Because good people can't beat bad people. You have to force a good person to become a bad person in order to subdue the original bad person.

Orion is such trash who only knows how to take shortcuts...

Must this world force insects to become demons?

The Third Army's defensive formation shifted.

One by one, the massive, dark gray warships began to move slowly and reluctantly to the sides.

The originally impenetrable defensive array was forced to open a passage leading to the wormhole.

The last obstacle before the wormhole gate was the horizontal bridge of Carlo Station. Carlo watched the starship slowly approaching and gritted his teeth as he pressed the control button.

The bridge is retracted.

There were no more obstacles in front of the wormhole.

The small starship, which was holding the Crown Princess hostage and whose hull was still emitting black smoke, burst into flames from its tail thrusters, accelerated sharply, and rushed into the cleared passage like lightning, plunging headlong into the wormhole vortex and disappearing from sight.

Lan remained standing in the cockpit of the Prince, staring intently as the starship disappeared into the wormhole.

It's alright, don't worry about Orion not treating the Crown Princess. If Orion wants to threaten him, he won't let the Crown Princess die.

The communication screen for Leo Ryan was interrupted, and then the Crown Princess's screen was also interrupted.

He knew what Orion wanted to do by leaving the Crown Princess behind.

Orion wanted his abdication edict.

He was obsessed with the throne because he failed to win it over with his father back then. He wanted to obtain the throne legitimately. Otherwise, he would have killed the Crown Princess the moment he captured her. That way, the Crown Prince would have died on the spot, and the empire would have fallen into his hands in an instant.

There's still room for maneuver; there definitely is.

Lan clenched her fists tightly.

He longs for the heavens.

It seems he's going to kill Gao Tian.

In the dim light of the bridge, a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his bloodshot eyes.
