Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Truly Disgusting

The crowd cheered, overjoyed.

It was as if the war was already won.

But they were celebrating too soon. The deaths of two large mutant beasts sent the other three into a frenzy.

They let out furious roars, the sound shaking the heavens as if it could shatter the sky itself.

Those roars extinguished their joy in an instant. Watching the three colossal mutant beasts slowly advance, they were overcome with despair.

Killing just those two large mutant beasts had been difficult enough, and now three more were waiting for them.

"Hahaha, they really know how to keep things interesting," Shi Feng quipped.

But his face was already etched with fatigue. Anyone would be exhausted after fighting for so long.

It wasn’t just him; everyone on the battlefield wore an expression of exhaustion.

Some, their spiritual power already depleted, simply closed their eyes upon seeing the beasts, silently awaiting death’s arrival.

Accepting death, accepting defeat, accepting any outcome.

They no longer had the strength to face these three large mutant beasts.

"Hahahaha, they’ve got a sense of humor, reminding us they’re still here," Gu Kaiwen said with a laugh, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere.

But at a time like this, everyone’s heart was heavy.

Lin Jingjing pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling mentally drained.

Her mecha was nearly wrecked, and a dull ache was starting to throb in her head.

"Captain Li, tell your King to come over and handle this," Lin Jingjing said, her voice heavy as she pinched the space between her eyebrows.

The three frenzied mutant beasts were even harder to deal with than before. They swung their arms wildly, and one of them even fired a white laser directly from its empty eye sockets.

The beam swept across the battlefield, causing countless casualties among the mechas, people, mutant beasts, monsters, and Single Pilot Mechas.

But the spherical drone flying in the air was still diligently broadcasting everything live. At this point, the military couldn’t just shut down the feed whenever they wanted.

Tens of billions of netizens were watching this battle, especially the ordinary citizens of B6 Star.

The wealthy had already bought spaceship tickets and fled B6 Star overnight. The poor could only stay home, watch the live broadcast, and silently pray for the war to end quickly.

If it didn’t end soon, everyone would die here.

It wasn’t just Lin Jingjing saying this. The Army Commanders of the Six Great Armies also joined Mecha Channel 9 to tell Captain Li to ask the King to come out and deal with these mutant beasts.

"Captain Li, tell the King the situation here now. Please, he must intervene," Beisang said, her voice weak. She had likely used too much spiritual power and was now on the verge of depletion.

"Hurry and ask the King to act," Meng Shili pleaded. "We can’t hold on here, and we’re only five kilometers from leaving the desert."

Alderick’s furious voice rang out, "We’re all going to die here! How can the King bear to watch?"

As they all chimed in one after another, Captain Li felt a headache coming on from all the noise.

Although he was the Personal Guard Captain, he didn’t have that much pull.

"I’ll try, but if I can’t persuade him, there’s nothing I can do," Captain Li said weakly.

With that, he opened his Star Ring and called Yun Yiyou.

Yun Yiyou answered quickly, his voice somewhat cold. "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, the front line might not hold. The large mutant beasts have gone berserk, and the crisis is even greater than before." Captain Li explained the situation on the front line point by point. After finishing, he asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, I implore you to intervene and eliminate them."

"We are less than five kilometers from leaving the desert."

Hearing this, Yun Yiyou sneered. "So many of you can’t even handle a few mere mutant beasts? What’s the point of having you around?"

Hearing this over Mecha Channel 9, some lowered their heads in shame, some fell silent, and others resolved to train even harder.

Only the five of them were furious. Lin Jingjing, already pushed to her limit by the mutant beasts, finally snapped.

A curse suddenly broke the silence on the previously quiet Mecha Channel 9.

"You son of a bitch!" Lin Jingjing could no longer hold back and let the curse fly. Her hands flew across the controls, maneuvering her mecha to dodge attacks, but her verbal assault didn’t stop. "You’re the King of the Empire, and you just sit on your high horse watching your soldiers die one by one! Now that we’re all overwhelmed, we ask you to step in, and you’re just making sarcastic remarks?"

"If you’re so damn powerful, what are you doing sitting in the rear?"

"If you’re so strong, why don’t you fight? What right do you have to criticize them!"

Lin Jingjing was absolutely livid. ’This King looks handsome enough, but his actions are anything but impressive.’

The live broadcast hadn’t stopped. All the netizens knew that he, Yun Yiyou, was on B6 Star, and that he was the only man in the entire Empire with power exceeding 3S-rank.

And despite all that, he was just sitting in the back, watching blankly.

’Idiot!’

’I’ve never seen such an irresponsible monarch!’

’No wonder he’s losing the people’s hearts! No wonder so many people hate the royal family and the cabinet!’

’They all deserve it!’

"Fine, don’t come! After all the soldiers are dead, the next to die will be the ordinary people on B6 Star who can’t even truss a chicken."

Hearing the tone in Lin Jingjing’s voice, the other four all shrank back.

’Sister Lin is angry.’

’And she’s *really* angry.’

When he was first cursed out, Yun Yiyou was already thinking about how to deal with Lin Jingjing. He was the strongest and most noble being in the Empire; how dare a mere low-ranking soldier defy her superior?

’She must have a death wish.’

But after hearing her last sentence, Yun Yiyou calmed down completely. He stood up from his seat and remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "I’m on my way."

Hearing Yun Yiyou’s reply, the half-dead secretary beside him immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, how can you go to the battlefield? If anything were to happen to you, what would become of the Empire?"

"Their inability to deal with those mutant beasts only proves they are useless. Besides, it’s just B6 Star. We can just abandon it."

"You have so many planets and subjects anyway. What does it matter if you lose one planet and a few subjects?"

These three sentences from the secretary were like a blow to the head for the five of them, who had been raised with a patriotic education to love their country and its people.

Sometimes, when a person gets angry enough, they can’t help but laugh. The five of them were no exception.

The few cold laughs sounded particularly grating to Yun Yiyou. He did not like that kind of laughter.

His brow furrowed tightly as he asked with great displeasure, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at how you treat human lives like grass," Feng He replied coldly.

"You people are disgusting. It’s disgusting to be a citizen of this Empire," Mo Xuan said. His words undoubtedly displeased Yun Yiyou even more.

After all, in recent years, many talented people had already emigrated to other nations. How could Yun Yiyou possibly like hearing Mo Xuan say such a thing?

"Shut up!" Yun Yiyou yelled sharply. "Don’t you dare say things like that!"

At that moment, a flicker of panic struck him. These five were very powerful. If they went over to the Federation next door, they would become formidable enemies in the future.
