Chapter 1221: Chapter 678: Your Empire Is Way Too Relaxed! (2)

As Shen Sui was deep in thought, Ye Zhou’Er came downstairs in her pajamas.

Rubbing her eyes, she naturally sat beside Shen Sui, resting her head on his shoulder, "Up so early, huh."

Last night, Shen Sui had spent the night in Ye Zhou’Er’s room.

Ye Zhou’Er’s restraint was, undeniably, a different experience.

After enjoying a hearty meal, savoring this also had its endless aftertaste.

"Got to get ready for the competition," Shen Sui said with a smile.

Ye Zhou’Er giggled and said, "I think it was Alice who startled you awake?"

Uh...

In a way, you could say it’s true.

Ye Zhou’Er looked at Shen Sui’s expression and smiled sweetly, "Haha, seems like I guessed right."

Shen Sui looked at Ye Zhou’Er’s adorable girlish posture and smiled.

"Alice shouldn’t have any trouble in the new world, right?" Ye Zhou’Er asked somewhat worriedly.

Whenever this Immortal Venerable mentioned Alice, his eyes always held a maternal glow.

There was nothing to be done, as in her past fantasies, she wished to have a daughter with Shen Sui.

Alice’s existence perfectly fulfilled her fantasy.

Shen Sui chuckled, "It’s always others who suffer at Alice’s hands; Alice hasn’t suffered a loss before."

Alice was deceived.

Seeing the great fortress appear within the fleet’s field of vision, she realized the pilots captured from the Imperial army were indeed unreliable.

"Didn’t you say we were heading to the Interstellar Federation?" Alice pointed at the super fortress on the screen and said, "This thing shouldn’t be a product of the Interstellar Federation, right?"

"This is the Empire’s Vales Fortress!" The pilot, questioned by Alice, revealed a proud expression, "It’s the Empire’s indestructible Wall of Sighs! That’s right! Surrender! You can’t overcome this place!"

Seeing this, Alice wasn’t angry; instead, she asked thoughtfully, "So you intentionally led me in the wrong direction?"

The pilot chuckled, "If it were the wrong direction, you’d definitely see through my lies, wouldn’t you?"

Alice said nothing.

But that explained everything.

"We’re on the shortest route to the Interstellar Federation now," the pilot laughed proudly, "but you’ll never reach your beloved Interstellar Federation! Repent beneath Vales Fortress, you rebel!"

Alice tilted her head and fell silent for a long time.

Hmm...

What should be done now?

Originally didn’t want to cause trouble...

As Alice was thinking this, the spaceship’s communication device emitted a beeping sound.

At that moment, Vales Fortress detected Alice’s fleet’s presence and began identification procedures.

Alice immediately grew alert.

Is it coming?

The insurmountable Wall of Sighs!

"Zzz... Approved inspection..."

"Welcome home, soldiers."

With the passage of the identification code, Alice’s fleet began passing through Vales Fortress in an orderly manner.

The pilot before Alice was initially dumbfounded.

Then, disbelief.

Soon after, as if he had gone mad, he rushed toward the console.

Alice gently raised her hand and controlled him.

It was truly unexpected, how someone could perform such a complex set of emotionally charged actions in such a short time.

"Damn it! What are you doing! What are you doing!"

The pilot shouted frantically at the console’s communication device.

"You’re letting rebels into the Empire’s heart!"

But this loyal pilot’s collapsed mentality gave Alice a reminder.

Could this be a scheme where these guys close the door to fight the dog?

Perhaps putting me into the Empire’s heart and then utilizing elite troops to wipe me out?

In truth... Alice was overthinking it.

Her easy passage through Vales Fortress was because the Third Fleet never thought Alice would dare to head toward the Imperial Central Star Realm so they never reported this to Vales Fortress.

The ships Alice seized were legitimate Imperial warships, registered and the identification codes hadn’t been canceled, so letting them through was as it should be.

Thus, Alice effortlessly crossed the Empire’s fortress known as the Wall of Sighs.

However, the pilot’s words caused Alice to wonder.

If there really is a trap ahead, I must plan ahead.

She could come and go as she pleased, but what about the refugees from Zax Planet in her fleet?

No way! I need to leave a way out!

With this thought, Alice fixated on the Vales Fortress she had just passed through.

If she could control this fortress...

Alice always acted on her thoughts.

Under her control, three Star-Destroying Level Gundams rushed out from the flagship’s doors.

Star-Destroying Level fighting weapons were indeed one of the Empire’s most powerful weapons.

Within just three hours, Alice had completed full control over Vales Fortress.

Using Twilight Power, Alice made a Candlelight Illusion of herself, left it at Vales Fortress to maintain control, and continued flying deeper into the star sea with her fleet.

Clearly, Alice, new to this world, didn’t know the significance of Vales Fortress.

As the legendary Wall of Sighs, it protected the Empire’s home planet and blocked all enemy invaders.

Under space-time turbulence, any fleet passing through would inevitably pass through Vales Fortress regardless of size.

Normally, capturing Vales Fortress isn’t easy.

Who would suspect their enemy would come from within?

And what’s more, with three Star-Destroying Gundams right off the bat.

Even with strong Defense, Vales Fortress couldn’t withstand the final weapon’s backside assault.

What on earth happened?

At this moment, the officers at Vales Fortress were still dumbfounded.

Was there a prince plotting rebellion and usurpation?

And shortly after Alice’s fleet left, the Third Fleet, circling in the star sea, couldn’t find any trace of Alice.

The Third Fleet commander immediately sensed trouble.

He had eliminated all possibilities.

The only thing not ruled out could only be the truth!

This rebel fleet headed towards the Empire’s home planet!

Realizing this, how could the Third Fleet dare to stay put?

They immediately set off at full speed towards the Imperial Central Star Realm.

When they arrived at Vales Fortress, they were blocked outside.

Blocking them was a super interstellar fortress with five giant spanning arms.

It slowly rotated in the universe like a Star System.

Under its disturbance, the surrounding space was completely unstable, impeding navigation.

Space turbulence lay in all directions, passing through was only possible through the central gate of the fortress.

However, this gate was tightly shut.

No matter how the Third Fleet identified themselves, there was no response.

"We are the Third Fleet!"

"Uh-huh, I know," Alice’s Candlelight Illusion replied indifferently, "but without the emperor’s command, I won’t open the gate."

"Damn! Don’t you know that bothering the emperor with this gets us a death sentence?"

"Oh, is that so?"

"So damn well, open the gate!"

"Sorry~! Can’t open it," Alice’s illusion replied nonchalantly, "Mechanical malfunction, we’re under repair."

"How long will the repair take?"

"Fast, one month; slow, two to three years."

"No way!" The commander quickly sensed something was off, "You’re not the officer here! Who exactly are you?!"

The illusion froze, completely surprised by being exposed so directly.

"Why?" she asked instinctively.

"One month? When have your repair efficiencies been so high!" The commander suppressed his inner anxiety, "At least three years as a start, huh?"

Wow!

Your Arunta Empire is way too laid-back, huh?

With such repair efficiency, isn’t there a real problem?

The illusion never expected to get caught this way.
