Chapter 2244: 25.134 Lone Black Star - Leaving the Royal Library
Ruined Imperial Palace. Destroyed Royal Library.
The royal family at the ruined Imperial Palace were killing their way out from the forbidden area of the royal library. The scouts left by the erg race to investigate the location were silently killed by the grand duke and the crown prince. They made sure that these zergs would not be able to send any message even before they were killed. It’s just that they didn’t know that the way zerg call for help is different from humans who shout for help. They send some kind of soundless frequency to cry for help.
The crown prince and the grand duke returned to the forbidden area just like that. They planned to get everyone out so they can prepare to leave as soon as possible. Moreover, they have a little baby with them. To keep it safe they had to return to the camp as soon as possible. The group had just left the royal library and gathered with the Empress and the newly born young prince at the center of the group together with the other guides.
They had just come out of the ruined imperial palace when suddenly the crown princess, Ye Caoyun, noticed something wasn’t right in their surroundings.
Ye Caoyun said, "Stop. There is something wrong!"
Everyone felt nervous when they heard from the crown princess that there is something wrong in their surroundings. Upon hearing this most of the sentinels in the group had grabbed their weapons making themselves ready for fight anytime.
The crown prince, Ye Qinya asked, "Yun’er, what is wrong?"
"It’s too quiet. This stillness is not normal," said the crown princess. "Father, Qin-ge, did you instantly kill the zerg scouts you’ve found before? Not giving them an inch to make some small movements like antenna wiggling?"
The grand duke and the crown prince frowned as they tried to recall what happened or something they had missed as they killed the two zerg scouts this morning. However, those zergs didn’t even have time to scream as the first thing they cut off was their throat so no sound could be heard. But now that the crown princess intentionally mentioned moving antennas that the crown prince, Ye Qinya had remembered those two zergs wiggling their antennas. At that time he thought it was only a response to pain. Now things seem to be different now. If those antenna movements were something like calling for help then they are indeed in danger.
The crown prince was the first one to realize what the crown princess meant. He immediately pulled out a flying vehicle and realized that they were all in danger and it was all due to one small mistake.
"Hurry to the space craft!" Ye Qinya shouted.
Before others realized what was happening, they started moving first before asking things. The command of the crown prince just now was not only urgent and informal. Normally, in the case of extreme danger the crown prince would react like this. After all, Ye Qinya was taught by his father, Emperor Ye Wang. He was taught that he must remain calm at all times. During a situation of extreme danger one must prioritize escape and protection of those who are weak. As for the explanation, the rest can be explained after things have calmed down.
With the sudden appearance of the spaceship, the crown prince command to ride on it. Only when the vessel had flown off did those who were at the command center to look at the anxious looking crown prince. He had been controlling the whole vehicle and letting it fly at its fastest speed. The first one to realize that something was wrong was the crown princess.
Ye Caoyun glanced at the group of soldiers who were capable of controlling the spaceship, but their job was suddenly taken over by the nervous crown prince who was now holding the controls with slightly trembling hands. Seeing this, the crown princess approached Ye Qinya and tried to coax the crown prince gently.
The crown princess said, "Qin-ge, let go of your hands. That’s right, calm down. Let’s move locations, alright?"
"... Sigh~ okay. I will go with you," said the crown prince who left the control area.
After taking a seat to the nearest sofa set, except for the Empress who was there to watch over her baby and the duchess accompanying the empress while their men were all having a meeting about their current situation.
Ye Qinya, the crown prince, said, "Yun’er, if you didn’t inform me about the possibility of sending a message through some movement. This is only an assumption but I think I have seen those zerg scouts before death moving their antennas wildly. Yun’er, do you think...?"
But the crown princess didn’t respond to him right away, instead looking at the people of the control center and urgently shouted a command.
"Use stealth mode! Use the maximum flying speed of the spaceship. Hurry!" The crown princess commanded.
Learning the possibility of the message for help was sent meant that their position is exposed.
Ye Caoyun said, "Qin-ge, handle the explanations. I need to be busy now."
"Alright!" said the crown prince, Ye Jie.
The crown princess went to the control area, and commanded everyone on duty for work. To keep their stealth mode properly plus focusing on layering the defensive formation around the whole academy.
Rumbles~
"What is this!? What do you mean that the zerg didn’t need sounds to send a message to their same kind and it was done through the movement which people can hardly notice." the Grand Duke exclaimed.
The crown prince said, "This is something my crown princess had found out. Who would have expected that those zerg can truly send a message to their minds."
BAM!
The Grand Duke said, "So the possibility that the zerg race had called for a reinforcement was high. This high speed flying, that defensive barrier activation as well as the stealth mode that burns money or spirit stone, was all to prepare our quick escape just in case we are targeted."
This is no longer simply a chasing situation for them and their group. The fact that their existence was now exposed to the Zerg race, if they failed to leave this area where the zergs are currently living, they wouldn’t know when one can learn how to escape from such a place. Under the command of the crown princess, their spaceship is now in an overall invisible mode. But some nobles onboard were using their influence while inciting some chaos.
This caused some commotion which led to some destruction within the spaceship and everyone at fault were now gathered and summoned all together. The hole in their spaceship had exposed their location due to some system malfunction. This simple trip of finding and escorting the royal family was no longer simple. That exposure will be enough for the zerg race to trail after them. As expected, just by the least possibility of being exposed, they were destined to be chased, because the world itself would not easily let them go.
In the spacefield before them, the spaceship was following the ordinary routes that might expose the exact location of their ancient nest. The Zerg race is being too careful and has never been simple. As soon as they were exposed the Zerg Queen and Zerg King had commanded for their extermination.
While this group is in the middle of planning their escape route, the God of Destruction has finally woke up. It caused a lot of things, like nourishing one’s soul and all. Lord Hei Anjing was watching as everyone had been doing their own things right from the very beginning at the camp with his lover. He himself cannot forget what he had seen in that sleep of his and this isn’t something he can tell everyone about. While his lover is finding a way to completely isolate the heavenly laws that were locking them down, the two of them can only stay at the camp watching over everyone while waiting for the royal family and their group to return.
To avoid being bored at the camp, the god of destruction started to help with the soldier’s training. At first the soldiers were afraid of sparring with the First Empress as he is a guide. Only when everyone in the camp was beaten half dead by Lord Hei Anjing that soldiers would now run away if they saw the First Empress heading to the training field. Well escaping from the clutches of the God of Destruction is impossible in the end they get beaten up a few more times. This training however had increased the survival abilities of these soldiers while fighting. They were no longer clumsy when fighting against the zergs that would sometimes get lost in their territories.
Everyone who was scheduled for today’s training were not exchanging moves with their instruction the First Empress, Lord Hei Anjing. When suddenly someone from the information gathering department came running with urgent news in hand.
"Emergency! Emergency!"
"So noisy~ what is this emergency about this time? I am telling you this now. I do not know how to handle pigs giving birth!" The God of Destruction said.
"Ancestor, this is not an emergency at home but a message from the people who had gone out a few months ago. It seems that they were being chased by the zerg race and needed help before their spaceship broke down."
The eyes of the God of Destruction narrowed dangerously, in his arm is the chubby Anteater which became even more chubbier with all kinds of insect cuisine he had been feeding it recently.
{Ancestor, are we going to catch more bugs today?}
