Nijiu stared at the dark corridor in front of her, with a hesitant expression.

"I might disappoint you," he said.

Samuel did not answer, and the two fell into silence, only the sound of footsteps echoing in the closed space could be heard.Samuel looked at Nijiu walking beside him, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Just a few months ago, Nejito was just a kid who had just graduated from high school.

"According to the plan, the army will put Rollsen in a political prison, and after the war is over, he will be convicted by a military court." Samuel broke the silence. "No matter what the result is, he will never become a ruler again."

He also said: "You are the only heir to the empire. After the downfall of Lawrence, sooner or later you will take on the heavy responsibility of governing the country. But don't worry, I will assist the supporters of the Wu clan and help you govern the country."

Samuel lowered his voice as much as possible, he was not used to speaking like this, it sounded very awkward.

But Nijiu still heard his consolation, nodded: "Well, I will try my best."

The reporters were more well-informed than Nijiu imagined. When Nijiu arrived at the press conference, the place was already crowded with media reporters.They held all kinds of cameras and radios in their hands, and some even carried reflectors.

Several reporters recognized Neito, and they lowered their voices, sending messages to each other:

"It really is him, that student of Dihua!"

"I remember that he was still a game anchor, and the colleague in charge of the entertainment section once reported him."

……

The reporters lowered their voices so low that Neito could only hear a hum.

After Nijiu walked onto the stage, Samuel also came to him and took off his felt hat.

The reporters fell silent when they saw Samuel's face clearly.

Ten years ago, Samuel was the military commander of the empire, but he was forced to resign because of his political stance against Rawson, and took a spare job to Di Hua as the library director.Although Samuel was long removed from office, most political journalists remembered him and silenced them.

Samuel glanced at the press release handed to him by the governor's secretary, and couldn't help frowning.He folded the press release twice and stuffed it into the pocket of his coat.

Samuel succinctly announced: "Mr. Nijito will temporarily take over the job of the late King Rawson and appoint the ruler of the empire."

The reporters were in an uproar, and the photographers quickly pressed the shutter, and the flash made it almost impossible for Nijito to open his eyes.In order to avoid looking directly at the flash, he could only look away and look at the people standing behind the reporters.

Many people came to the scene to watch the press conference when they heard about it.They still remember the little prince who was sent to Pearl Star ten years ago, but the public's knowledge of Nijiu is very limited, and they are not sure whether this teenager is trustworthy.

From Nijito's point of view, you can have a panoramic view of the citizens present.

These people look different.Some people frowned, some were in tears, and some felt lost.But without exception, everyone's face is full of worry.

No one knows how this war will end, and everyone is anxious and hesitant.

Nijiu raised her head, and above her was the bright galaxy.And where he couldn't see, the Zerg warship was hiding in the vast space, eyeing the empire.

Whether it's for myself or for the worried people in front of me, this war must be won.

The next day.

When the second vote was made, the affirmative faction overwhelmingly pushed Nijito to the throne.

After Nijiu succeeded to the throne, he immediately restored Samuel's position and reappointed him as military commander.Samuel was busy deploying the army all day long. In order to ensure the safety of Nijiu, he kept Nijiu by his side all the time and did not allow him to leave his sight.

In the afternoon of the same day, Samuel and Nijiu came to the No. [-] military berthing port.

They entered the command room and looked down at the group of starships taking off and landing in the berthing port.Samuel stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, pointed out the warships one by one, and said to Nijiu: "That ship is No. 122, the giant warship with the highest penetration rate in the army. The 122 has high mobility and fast speed, and can usually join the vanguard. Test the strength of the enemy..."

Samuel consciously instilled military knowledge into Nijiu, and never let go of any opportunity to teach him how to arrange troops.

Before he finished speaking, a stern-faced officer entered the command room and walked towards Nijiu and Samuel.

After saluting Nidove, the officer turned to Samuel to update him with news from the front.Nijiu listened to the conversation between the two, her eyes gradually became serious.

The situation on the front line is more critical than Nijiu imagined.

The Zerg gathered a large army and surrounded the galaxy from the outside. It is estimated that there are at least one million Zerg and hundreds of thousands of celestial-class starships.

In the early hours of this morning, the Zerg launched their first surprise attack, which almost wiped out the defenseless frontier army.Fortunately, Harnifin, Ares and Qingyan arrived in time and wiped out the raiding force of the Zerg.

With them around, the military doesn't have to worry about the Zerg besieging the galaxy.

Nijiu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He didn't hear about Bandit Yu, so he asked insincerely, "Apart from them, are there any other reinforcements?"

"Except for them?" The officer repeated Nijiu's question, showing a puzzled look, "I only saw three reinforcements, namely the God of War, the Monster Race, and the Elf Race."

When Nijiu heard this, her brows gradually frowned.

Samuel saw his anxiety and comforted him: "He may be somewhere else, don't worry."

Before Nijiu answered the call, a short communication prompt sounded suddenly in the command room. It was an audio request from the Emperor Star Guard—the patrol team is responsible for the safety around the Emperor Star. If the patrol team encounters an emergency, it means that the Zerg is very It may have gone deep into Emperor Star.

Nijiu's heart tightened, and he switched on the audio.

After the "beep", the voice of the liaison officer sounded in the command room.

"Call the commander-in-chief, Huhu—we've encountered an emergency!!" His voice was extremely hoarse, panting as if he lacked oxygen, "Huh—Zergs, attacking! Our battleship has been destroyed!"

Samuel sighed for a long time: "Sure enough."

Samuel noticed that the podium was shaking.

Nijiu rested her hands on the podium, her arms trembling constantly.He managed to maintain his calmness on his face, but his knuckles were pinched white, obviously he was in the ups and downs of emotions.

Samuel thought Nijiu was afraid, and patted him on the back: "Don't panic, calm down."

However, beyond Samuel's expectation, Nijiu quickly regained his composure.Because of the unstable signal, they couldn't hear the liaison officer's voice clearly, so Neijiu turned the volume to the maximum and turned on the microphone.

"Are there any casualties?" Nijiu moved to the microphone, "Send me your coordinates."

"Okay, I've already sent the coordinates—" the liaison officer's voice stopped abruptly, followed by his unsteady breathing, "No!! They opened the wormhole!!"

The voice of the liaison officer was interrupted, and Nijiu could only hear a series of noises passing through the current.Half a minute later, the audio was turned on again: "The Zerg has arrived on Emperor Star!! Please get ready at the headquarters—!"

Nijiu raised his head, his eyes passed through the quantum shield, and cast his gaze over the port of anchorage.

"Well, I see it."

Samuel followed Nijiu's line of sight and looked up.In the gray-blue sky of the Emperor Star, the Zerg warships are connected together and are speeding towards the Emperor Star.Behind the fleet, there is a huge black wormhole, from which the Zerg are continuously pouring out, like a flood that has opened its gates.

Samuel's face turned a little pale, and he said to himself: "The Zerg were surrounded and suppressed by reinforcements outside the system, but they did not hesitate to infiltrate the Emperor Star. There must be another purpose..."

"—I know, the Zerg's target must be that!" He shook his body violently, and turned to Nijiu, "Where is your star core? We must send someone to find it!"

Neijiu bent down and pulled the suitcase out from under the console: "Here, I always carry it with me."

"So you put the star core in the mecha box." Samuel said with a sigh of relief, "Good job. Their goal should be this star core, so we must protect it and prevent the star core from falling into it." In the hands of the Zerg."

In the sky, the Zerg starships are constantly approaching the Emperor Star, pressing down densely.

"In order to find the star core, the Zerg will definitely rob the prison and rescue the former king." Nijiu said, "The former king will not sit still, he must be waiting for the rescue of the Zerg."

"That's right." Samuel agreed with Nijiu's guess, and replied thoughtfully.

Samuel walked out of the command room, grabbed a passing officer, and asked him, "Have the residents of Emperor Star been evacuated?"

Avoiding the eyes of Samuel and Nijiu, the officer murmured: "The evacuation has not been completed, and there are still 10,000+ people stranded in civilian ports of call."

Hearing this, Samuel frowned impatiently: "There are so many people who haven't evacuated, it's troublesome. After the Zerg finds Rawson, they are likely to kill on the Emperor Star."

Nijiu hesitated for a while, and said to Samuel, "Please wait for me."

He walked to the corner of the command room, put on his optical brain, and dialed Bandit Yu's number.He wasn't sure if Bandit Yu was carrying an optical brain with him, anxiously waiting for him to answer the phone.

A few seconds later, there was a beep on the opposite side that the phone was connected.

Nijiu's hanging heart suddenly let go, and her breathing became smooth.He asked, "Where are you?"

"In the wormhole." Bandit Yu's voice rang in Nijiu's ears, his voice was still calm and calm, which made people feel at ease, "They have opened a wormhole outside the emperor's star, and reinforcements are continuously pouring into this planet Come, it cannot be completely killed."

Nijiu asked, "Are there many?"

Bandit Yu's answer was concise and clear: "Many."

Nijiu choked for a moment, and after a long time, she struggled to make a request: "Can you stop them for me?"

Nijiu felt that he was too strong to be difficult for others.This war has nothing to do with Bandit Yu, and he has no reason to help himself.Bandit Yu could neither benefit from this war nor capture the territory of the Zerg. Instead, it was easy to get burned and was severely injured by the Zerg.

Nijiu regretted it immediately, he was about to take back the previous request, but was interrupted by Bandit Yu.

He agreed very simply: "Okay."

Just as Nijiu hung up the phone, a young officer walked into the command room.He led several men in prison guard uniforms into the control room panting.

After seeing Nijiu, the officer saluted and said, "My lord, these prison guards want to see you."

Nijiu was not used to this strange address, and after a while, he realized that the officer was calling him.He looked at several prison guards and found that their faces were covered with fine dust and their clothes were dirty.

Nijiu asked, "Have you been attacked?"

The prison guard was out of breath. He took a deep breath and replied: "Zergs broke into the prison area, continuously destroyed the walls of the prison area, and released a large number of criminals. There are still [-] prison guards struggling to support the prison area. We are here The army asked for help."

** Prison area is exactly where Luo Ersen was detained.

Nijiu guessed right, the purpose of the Zerg attacking Emperor Star was indeed to rob prison.

Nijiu picked up the suitcase at his feet and said loudly to the prison guard: "Don't be dazed, take us there quickly!"

The prison guards hurriedly followed Nijiu's footsteps as if waking up from a dream.Samuel also waved to several officers: "Take the soldiers to follow, don't forget the weapons!"

Under the escort of the army, Nijiu and others came to the prison for serious criminals located near the Emperor Star Court.

A few blocks away, Nejito saw three Zerg starships cruising in the sky.The driver passed through the alley between the houses and drove into the prison area without making a sound.

In the prison area, a large number of prisons have been destroyed by Zerg, and felons wearing prison uniforms have escaped from the prison and are wandering in the nearby streets.

When Nijiu and his party walked into the prison, the Zerg starship group had already entered the atmosphere of Emperor Star, looming behind the clouds.

A prison guard was watching the wind in the duty room. When he saw Nijiu and the military airship following him, he was overjoyed and waved desperately at them: "Reinforcement has arrived!"

Nijiu jumped off the airship and walked quickly towards the prison guard: "Take us to the prison where Lawson is being held, hurry up!"

The prison guard led Nijiu and others to the prison area and reported the current battle situation: "The Zerg that entered the prison has been basically wiped out, and there are dozens of them left in the prison area. We are dealing with them."

The Zerg moved faster than they thought, and when Nejito arrived outside Rorsen's cell, the entire corridor was crowded with huge bugs.When they saw Nijiu, they immediately waved their dense tentacles and rushed towards him.

The soldiers behind Nijito immediately raised their laser guns and smashed them into a sieve with dense shells.

Nejito stepped over the Zerg corpses and slime, and walked towards Lawson's cell.

This is a single cell, the room is dark and small, with a faint musty smell.

Nejito turned on the light and saw a pale face.

After not seeing each other for two weeks, Rawson looked even more bluffing now that he was thinner.He was sitting alone on the bed of the single prison, staring at Nijiu with those cloudy eyes, and there was still a sinister sneer on his face.

Luo Ersen's eyes moved back and forth on the faces of Samuel and Nijiu, his eyes were so dark that it made people's backs shudder.

He said: "You actually made the Emperor Star Garrison take orders from you, and even reinstated Samuel. As expected, they are descendants of the witch clan, and they are all thieves who intend to usurp the throne!"

Lawson's tone was fierce, and he squinted at Nijiu viciously.

Samuel saw that he was a little mentally disturbed, so he stepped forward and locked his hands with electric shock handcuffs: "Nijiu, don't approach him, he is a little abnormal."

At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of intensive gunfire outside, interspersed with the loud noise of shelling.

A soldier rolled in through the window with a pale face, holding an anti-matter machine gun in his hand, and the ammunition had been exhausted.He was out of breath, and said to Samuel: "My lord, the Zerg army has arrived, how many or hundreds of them!"

Samuel frowned: "Where is the battleship?"

"Four ships!"

The situation is not optimistic.

The Zerg has hundreds of soldiers and four warships.On the other hand, they only had 100 soldiers, five military airships, and three heavy weapons.

Nijito, Samuel and others are trapped here.
