Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After they got back on the bus, they set off again.

Yin Pan'er was clearly a little nervous, and Xiao Ce held her slightly cold hand.

He then said, "Don't worry, that team was clearly just testing the waters, otherwise we wouldn't have won so quickly..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right, and through this experience, we've seen the gap between androids and ordinary people... It's a huge difference... It seems we need to speed up the training of androids..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing Yin Pan'er's words.

"That's true, but those androids are powerful. Actually, the weapons are even more powerful... So, it really comes down to the energy of those weapons... If the star in the Hidden Dragon Tomb could be powered, that would be ideal... Then we would truly have solved the problem of energy weapons..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you mean that their creation base is already capable of producing energy weapons?"

Xiao Ce nodded... "That's right, that's my guess. Although they didn't say anything... I think they just haven't solved the charging problem... but weapon manufacturing itself isn't a problem... otherwise they wouldn't have given out so many weapons at once... So, I guess they've already solved the weapon manufacturing problem... the only problem they can't solve is the charging problem..."

Yin Pan'er nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you really believe that legend?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, I believe it... I even think that their ultimate goal is actually that star... Didn't you ever doubt it? Otherwise, why didn't the original owner kill me when he had so many opportunities? He kept saying he wanted a prisoner alive... Obviously, he couldn't open the Hidden Dragon Tomb... He thought I could..."

Yin Pan'er nodded as she listened, her expression showing deep concern. She then asked, "So, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Xiao Ce shook his head. He naturally understood Yin Pan'er's concerns and then said, "You don't need to worry too much... I think everything has already been arranged by fate..."

As the two men spoke, their car moved away from the ambush site, and shortly afterward, they arrived at a heavily guarded military port...

Qi Lin had already received the news and was waiting.

However, what they saw was that only two cars had arrived.

Moreover, Qi Lin seemed to smell some gunpowder.

Xiao Ce rolled down the car window and, without further ado, said to Qi Lin, "General Qi Lin, please lead the way. I need to go to your port... Afterwards, arrange for a ferry to pick me up and have your trusted men stationed at the port. No one else is allowed to approach..."

Qi Lin sensed a hint of anxiety in Xiao Ce's words...

Without asking any questions, he simply nodded and then began leading the way in a carriage: "Your Highness, please follow me..."

Xiao Ce told Director Mi to continue driving, and then ordered Ling Xu to begin dispatching the submarine.

By the time they arrived, Xiao Ce had already connected Lingxu with the submarine, and he had gained control of it.

Xiao Ce didn't know where Lingxu, this artificial intelligence, came from. It was quite powerful. After it connected to the submarine's control system, it bypassed their firewall and remotely controlled the submarine.

Although there is no signal tower, Xiao Ce can still complete the control by using the closed Star Network Hub as a bridge.

Because Lingxu and Xingluoji are essentially one entity, his control of the submarine through Xingluoji is equivalent to indirectly achieving...

Instead of heading to the regular berths, the convoy drove directly to the deepest, most heavily guarded submarine dock area in the harbor. The heavy alloy doors slid open silently, revealing a uniquely shaped, sleek submarine moored in the massive dry dock.

Clearly, Qi Lin was stunned when he saw this scene. Fortunately, he had already issued the evacuation order.

Otherwise, this enormous thing will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

After Xiao Ce got out of the carriage, Qi Lin immediately came over: "Reporting to Your Highness, everyone here has been evacuated. I will continue to arrange for the follow-up patrols... um..."

Xiao Ce said to Qi Lin, "Alright, watch carefully... I need to go rescue people first... No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Qi Lin nodded, before he could finish speaking.

The three androids at the creation base began carrying the seriously wounded soldiers towards the submarine...

Qi Lin was startled when he saw this.

At this point, even a fool could guess what was going on...

That means Xiao Ce and his group were attacked...

"You've been frightened! This humble general failed in his duty of protection; please punish me, Your Highness!"

"It happened suddenly, it has nothing to do with you." Xiao Ce waved his hand, his sharp gaze sweeping across the scene, before he began to give orders to the people beside him.

"Take the dead away for now, and give the seriously injured first aid here..." Xiao Ce said, looking at Qi Lin.

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Qi Lin said, "Your Highness, I will definitely arrange for the best military doctor to come..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Prioritize sending those who just died to the submarine's medical isolation chamber! Director Mi, Mi Long, and Mi Hu, the three of you are in charge of operating the consciousness translation equipment! Creation One, Two, and Three, be responsible for perimeter security; no one is allowed to approach the submarine's core area without permission!"

"Yes, sir!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing in the empty dock.

Xiao Ce's people probably knew what he was going to do, but Qi Lin didn't.

He didn't understand why, since those people were already dead...

However, at this moment, no matter how many doubts he had, he wouldn't utter a single word...

Xiao Ce went directly into the submarine with those people.

Those machines were installed on the side of the submarine.

Led by Director Mi, the group passed through a complex passageway and arrived at a separate cabin that had been specially modified to store the "consciousness translation device".

This metal container is securely fixed to the core of the submarine. Inside, it integrates a biogel life support chamber, a precision neural bundle connector arm, and a control terminal, just like the one seen in the creation base laboratory, only slightly smaller in scale.

Without the slightest hesitation, Director Mi and his two colleagues immediately got to work.

They skillfully activated the equipment, soft indicator lights lit up on the cold metal bulkhead, and the holographic projection on the control terminal instantly unfolded, with a waterfall of data beginning to flow.

"Quickly! Put those who have just died into the source carrier life support pods first!"

Director Mi's voice was calm yet urgent: "Connect the neural bundle connector arm, maintain minimum biological activity! Initiate device self-test, stabilize energy core! Warm up processor!"

The soldiers carefully placed a soldier, whose chest had been pierced by a large piece of shrapnel, whose heart had just stopped beating but whose body was still warm, into one of the compartments.

The pale blue biogel was rapidly injected, enveloping his head and upper body.

The slender, silver "nerve bundles" extending from the top, as if alive, connect precisely to a pre-set interface on the soldier's head...

The life support system activated, and a weak electrocardiographic stimulation signal began to be output...

"Source carrier number 1 has weak biological activity but can be maintained! The consciousness field signal is extremely weak and on the verge of dissipation!"

Milong stared intently at the data stream report on the screen...

"Activate emergency awareness guidance procedure! Energy field resonance intensity increased to critical point!"

The director's fingers flew across the virtual keyboard. "Processor simulating neural synaptic network, ready to load! Hurry!"

A pale blue light illuminated the life support pod, and the faint glow flowing along the nerve bundles began to accelerate...

The entire cabin was filled with a peculiar smell of ozone mixed with active electrolyte, as well as a somber atmosphere of life and death.

Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er stood behind the control panel, watching this scene with bated breath.

Judging from the way they were operating, it was clear that resurrection was possible; although their bodily functions were dead, their consciousness did not seem to have dissipated...

These cold, technological methods have now become the last hope in the fight against death.

Yin Pan'er held Xiao Ce's hand tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Seeing Yin Pan'er's expression, Xiao Ce then said to her, "Calm down...we've done our best and left the rest to fate..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right, Your Highness. No news is actually the best news."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce nodded...

...

Meanwhile, the other vehicle, carrying the lightly wounded and the president's bodyguard, was speeding back to the Presidential Palace in Longdu.

Meanwhile, inside the Presidential Palace, Yin Weiyong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan...

Yin Weiyong paced back and forth in his office. He had just received a preliminary encrypted telegram from Panshi Port, and even a few words were enough to make his heart pound.

The prince's convoy was attacked! The attack occurred on their way to Panshi Port!

"You bastard! This is outrageous!"

Yin Weiyong slammed his hand on the rosewood table, making the teacup vibrate. The usually composed old president was now all hair and beard standing on end, his eyes burning with raging anger and deep fear.

"Right under the Emperor's nose! Right under my own nose! They dared to lay a hand on the Prince! Are they trying to turn the world upside down?!"

He couldn't imagine what would happen if Xiao Ce really met with misfortune on the return journey that he had insisted on arranging...

He dared not imagine, nor could he bear, the consequences! This was not only his personal dereliction of duty, but also a fatal blow to the entire Xiao Kingdom and the East Asian Alliance!

"Lin Feng! Lin Feng!" Yin Weiyong called out sternly.

Chief of the Bodyguard Lin Feng entered in response, his face equally grim: "President!"

"Has there been any follow-up news from Panshi Port? How is the Prince? What about the Princess?"

Yin Weiyong's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly...

"Reporting to the President! We have just received a detailed intelligence report from General Qi Lin of Panshi Port!"

Lin Feng spoke rapidly, his voice tinged with the relief of surviving a close call: "His Highness and Princess are fortunate to be safe and sound! The ambush has been swiftly eliminated by His Highness's guards! His Highness has arrived safely at Panshi Port!"

call...

Yin Weiyong let out a long, deep breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He swayed slightly, but was caught by the quick-thinking Lin Feng.

"It's alright...it's alright..."

Yin Weiyong muttered to himself, his tense nerves suddenly relaxing, a huge sense of fatigue washing over him, but his eyes immediately became sharper. Although he felt that Xiao Ce would be alright, after all, those androids and those weapons that were like divine artifacts were not something ordinary people could get close to.

But then again, they were using suicidal attack methods...

"Casualties?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and said, "The Presidential Palace Guard... suffered five casualties, three seriously wounded, and seven slightly wounded. His Highness has ordered that the fallen and critically wounded be prioritized for transfer to the submarine to attempt to rescue them using... 'that technology'."

Yin Weiyong's eyes narrowed, and he naturally understood what that technology referred to.

He nodded heavily: "Cooperate with the Prince at all costs! Tell Qi Lin that the Presidential Palace will provide full support with any resources needed!"

"Yes!" Lin Feng accepted the order.

As he spoke, Yin Weiyong's eyes suddenly turned as cold as a hawk's: "Immediately notify: Marshal Han Da, Night Owl, Xu Zhiyuan, Xing Shoulu, and Xin Xiaoci! Put down everything you are doing and assemble in the Presidential Palace Emergency Operations Room within half an hour!"

"As ordered!"

Lin Feng's expression hardened; he knew the president was serious. He immediately turned to relay the order.

After all, Xiao Ce's importance is self-evident.

If any of them had previously harbored a sliver of hope, believing that Xiao Ce's arrival was so quiet that no one would know...

However, it has now become clear that they were extremely lucky.

They not only knew that Xiao Ce had arrived, but they also knew his route.

Fortunately, Xiao Ce reacted in advance...

Otherwise, it's really hard to say what the outcome would be now...

Although Xiao Ce didn't say anything, they couldn't pretend they knew nothing and that nothing had happened...

Less than an hour later.

It's in the same conference room where Xiao Ce held the meeting for them during the day...

The atmosphere was unusually heavy...

The key figures who received the orders were all present around the huge conference table.

These people rushed over, but they didn't know what had happened.

However, seeing Yin Weiyong's expression, they realized the seriousness of the problem...

"Your Majesty, what has happened?"

With a grim expression, Yin Weiyong addressed the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the Prince and Princess's entourage encountered an extremely vicious suicide ambush on the official road less than fifty miles from Longdu!"

Upon hearing Yin Weiyong's words, the entire audience erupted in uproar: "What? President, what are you saying?? You mean the Prince was attacked? Are you sure you're not mistaken?!"
