Ji Xiuyun didn't want things to turn out this way either.

He expected Yue An to be very aggressive, but he didn't expect Yue An to be this aggressive.

Things went like this.

Ji Xiuyun and his lackeys piloted their mechas and snuck behind the enemy's flagship.

It wasn't difficult to do this because most Interstellar Pirates didn't have the ability to fight against the Empire's army.

Their lack of military training was one reason, but the biggest reason was their outdated equipment.

The Interstellar Pirates who weren't limited by these two factors either occupied a planet's radiation area and controlled its forces, or they were able to freely move between different galaxies and countries. They relied on their huge amount of resources and money to make any country's army unable to touch them.

Those who were foolish enough to take the money to block the exit of the military airway were basically idiots with inflated egos.

If they wanted to defeat these idiots, they only needed to hit them in the head.

Originally, there was no need for the Empire's Marshal to participate in a small conflict of this level.

However, as the first battle of this expedition, it would be best if they could completely crush the enemy in terms of casualty rate and battle situation. That was why Ji Xiuyun personally led his direct special forces to launch a surprise attack.

Even people nowadays were very particular about the concept of a good start, especially when it came to leading troops into battle. These generals were very clear about the concept of a good start.

Therefore, Ji Xiuyun led his young men and his subordinate special forces to the location in their mechas. They opened the weapon hatch and prepared to break a hole in the protective shield to allow them to break in.

However, before they could start to focus their firepower to tear open the protective shield, Yue An's distinctive clear voice suddenly rang out in the communication channel.

He called out to Ji Xiuyun.

Marshal Ji responded.

"I don't think this thing is as good as me," Yue An said.

Yue An said. The thing he was referring to was the mech. Then, he asked, "Can I get out of the mech and do it directly?"

Ji Xiuyun's mind buzzed when he heard that. He opened his mouth and wanted to say no.

But on second thought, he and the Yue An's combat power was comparable to two mechas — the Yue An was even stronger. It would be more efficient to move separately from the mechas.

The mecha's greatest use was in interstellar encounters in the vacuum of space. It was extremely rare for a mecha to land directly on a local flagship.

Since they were already right behind the enemy's flagship, it would not be a big deal for them to fight head-on. After all, in the vast universe, how many people could surpass the two of them in individual combat ability?

There were very, very few of them. They could be counted on one's fingers.

These few peak combat powers in the interstellar space could be counted with one's fingers. Basically, it was a situation where kings didn't meet kings.

Marshal Ji weighed the pros and cons for a few seconds before he agreed with Yue An's suggestion.

Yue An was very excited.

His human form hadn't been able to fight openly in the real world!

Therefore, after the protective shield was broken and the group of people landed on the deck, the special forces brought by Ji Xiuyun could only watch as their Marshal and Marshal's assistant casually handed over the mecha operation to the AI.

As for themselves, they each carried a few weapons and followed the herd of sheep like wolves. They were invincible.

The scariest thing was that the Marshal's assistant, who was recognized by them as having high combat power, had displayed shocking destructive power in actual combat.

He was practically on par with their Marshal.

The 20-man special forces team's communication channel was completely silent.

They silently stared at the two of them for two seconds. Then, they quickly spread out according to the original plan. They maintained a distance where they could not see each other but were able to coordinate with each other through the range of their weapons. They surrounded the huge flagship and blocked off any possibility of the pirates on the flagship escaping.

Ji Xiuyun's order was to wipe them all out.

Therefore, none of the lawbreakers on the flagship were allowed to escape.

The rights and interests of the interstellar pirates were not protected by the law.

They did not even have the right to become prisoners. The only thing waiting for them was death.

This was their fate the moment they decided to become interstellar pirates.

After sensing that his allies had all left his field of vision, Yue An, who had been suppressing his strength, completely let go of himself.

The interstellar pirates who had encountered the two fiends wanted to kneel down and call them daddy.

Speaking of Ji Xiuyun, when he ran with all his might, people could only see a few afterimages. This was already an extremely terrifying physical quality.

However, Yue An's movements were accompanied by sonic booms when he suddenly stopped and rushed forward!

Sonic booms!!!

Sonic booms!!!

He was even able to dodge light weapons!!

Was he still human with such combat power?!

The interstellar pirates on the enemy's flagship were scared out of their wits!

Ji Xiuyun and Yue An, together with the AI-controlled Meow Meow, easily overturned the pirates who had rushed up to the deck. However, they did not enter the cabin. Instead, they directly blasted through the deck.

Ji Xiuyun was different from Yue An, who only cared about himself. He thought much more than Yue An.

Therefore, the Empire of Sintes's most powerful fighter mech, the Silver Blade, which was a new version, was sent to do a reconnaissance scan in its first battle.

"Yue An," Ji Xiuyun shouted amid the deafening gunfire.

The next second, his young man appeared in front of him. His face was stained with dust and blood, but his blue eyes were sparkling.

"Bring Meow … Meow Meow to their warehouse …" Ji Xiuyun made a gesture. "I've sent you the coordinates."

Yue An did not object and nodded.

The Silver Blade, which had completed its reconnaissance, flew over their heads and swapped shifts with Meow Meow.

Yue An glanced at the visual map of the entire ship. Then, he decisively jumped down from the hole in the deck with his mecha in tow.

Ji Xiuyun came from an unorthodox background. In the early days of his military career, he had done many shady things.

As a general of a regular army, this habit of his had always been criticized by many, saying that his table manners were too unsightly. In addition, Ji Xiuyun had never lacked logistical support in his battles, so Ji Xiuyun gradually changed.

However, the situation this time was different.

Although the possibility of the new Emperor making drastic changes was very small, there was no guarantee that the problem would spread to this side.

The political situation in the rear was not peaceful. For these people who stayed on the frontlines and fought to their deaths, this was very annoying.

This could cause a series of logistical and supply problems.

Although they still had Marshal Kevin to help them, Marshal Ji decided to pick up his old bad habits just in case. Coincidentally, Yue An had also finished practicing Heaven and Earth Sleeve.

Before Ji Xiuyun left, he mentioned this to Yue An. The two of them hit it off and decided to do a few more shady things along the way. They carried a few armory and logistical supply warehouses with them just in case.

Yue An and his mech went on a rampage all the way to the enemy's food warehouse. A few light cannons destroyed the surveillance cameras. Under the cover of the mech, they emptied a total of four warehouses in just a few minutes.

After emptying the warehouses, the man and the mech ran to the armory.

After Yue An left, Ji Xiuyun began to steadily advance.

The deck beneath their feet trembled slightly from the gunfire and the battle. It was as if they were little sheep that had encountered a demon king, shivering in fear.

The battle between the special forces who were waiting outside to prevent the space pirates from escaping was also very intense.

Compared to the resistance faced by Ji Xiuyun and Yue An's side, it was obvious that they were weaker and had blocked the escape route. Thus, the attacks they faced were even more terrifying.

In the face of an overly powerful force, a weak person would not be able to summon the will to resist.

For example, Ji Xiuyun and Yue An faced this group of space pirates.

Although the strength of these special forces members was astonishing, they were still able to put up a fight against them.

"I think they think we are easier to bully. What made them think that?"

Someone suddenly said in the comms channel.

Then, there was a slight rustling sound and the sound of gunfire.

Then, someone else said, "Anyone with a dream is amazing."

There was a short burst of laughter in the comms channel.

Before the laughter died down, the distinctive clear voice of a young man suddenly cut in.

"Ji Xiuyun."

The young man always spoke with a slight drawl at the end of his voice, showing a softness and delicacy that was completely different from his combat strength and valiance.

Marshal Ji's voice was heard. He asked, "Is it over?"

"It's over."

Yue An looked at the empty armory and then looked up at the ceiling that he had blasted open.

Standing here, he could see the universe and the distant nebula when he looked up.

Yue An flipped over and jumped into the mech. After connecting to the sensory system, he jumped a few times and said into the comms channel, "I'm going to throw a grenade."

There were a few subtle questions in the comms channel.

Only Ji Xiuyun's scalp went numb. He decisively entered the Silver Blade and flew out of the cabin. At the same time, he ordered in the comms channel, "Retreat!"

Although the special forces were puzzled, they did not question him. Instead, they simply followed the Silver Blade and quickly left the enemy's flagship.

Someone sharply noticed that something was wrong. "We're missing someone."

"It's Yue An."

"It's fine," Ji Xiuyun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong white light burst out from the flagship behind them.

After leaving the air environment suitable for human survival, sound could no longer be transmitted in the universe.

That light silently bloomed in an extremely dazzling and resplendent manner.

On the flagship of the Army of War, the accompanying reporters had just finished setting up a signal base station. It was not easy for them to escape the signal interference of the wormhole and contact the main station.

The reporter on the official channel of the Empire of Sintes had just said, "Everyone," when he felt a strong light suddenly illuminate this part of the star field.

His words came to an abrupt end. He turned around and saw the enemy's flagship at the rear of the fleet emitting a white light from inside out. Due to the battle, the outer shell of the flagship was damaged from the battle, and the dazzling light from inside made the flagship look like it was nailed to death by a solid beam of light.

In just a short three seconds, before the beam of light disappeared, the flagship exploded from inside out. The explosion affected the two corvettes around it, and they were also affected by the shockwave and exploded together.

At this moment, in the camera, a few small black dots quickly enlarged, and then safely passed through the verification of the protective layer and landed on the deck.

There were a total of 21 mechas.

The leading mecha was a War God mecha that everyone in the Empire was very familiar with, Silver Blade.

Empire Marshal Ji Xiuyun came out of the mecha and landed lightly on the ground.

The deck was busy, but the returning Marshal Ji did not enter the cabin. He did not even notice the accompanying reporters standing not far away. Instead, he turned around and quietly stared in the direction they came from.

The 20 soldiers behind him had the same reaction.

"What's going on?" The accompanying reporter quietly asked the soldier beside him.

The soldier shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.

The enemy's ships were still being blasted into space dust one after another. Standing here, one could clearly see the Empire's destroyers leaving long trails of light behind them, one after another completing their missions and flying back.

Among the destroyers, there was a mecha that was almost one with the darkness of the universe.

The resonance lines on its body were emitting a faint blue light, and its speed was as fast as a stream of light. It rushed over like a cannonball, and then came to a sudden stop, and finally landed lightly on the deck.

The mecha's cabin door opened, and a slender young man came out.

The accompanying reporter finally knew who the Empire's Marshal and his 20 outstanding soldiers were waiting for.

Because both his camera and his camera clearly captured Ji Xiuyun looking up and seeing the young man standing on the mecha, he unconsciously took two steps forward and raised his arm, as if he was very worried that the young man would accidentally slip and fall.

The young man also saw his reaction, and waved at him without any regard, and jumped into Ji Xiuyun's arms.

Marshal Ji caught the young man steadily, and his posture was very familiar.

"We won," the young man said happily, completely different from the coldness he showed to the media earlier.

"Mhmm."

Marshal Ji Xiuyun nodded, and his face was expressionless as usual, but he looked at the young man with a particularly focused expression.

The spaceships of the Interstellar Pirates behind them seemed to prove their words, and they turned into celebratory fireworks and exploded one after another.

The tacit understanding and closeness between the two was almost visible to the naked eye, and there was no hostility or hidden conflict as the media had speculated.

The tacit understanding was a little gay.

The accompanying reporter was stunned for a moment, and then he turned to look at the camera that was recording everything honestly.

He suddenly turned the camera over, opened his mouth, and said dryly, "The Empire's official channel is live broadcasting for you, our army's first great victory."

As the military reporter introduced the situation of this conflict to the camera, he was distracted. He felt that the popularity of this great victory in the first battle could not be compared to the scene of Marshal Ji steadily catching Marshal Kevin's adopted son.

After all, great victories were common, but Marshal Ji Xiuyun was not.

There were even fewer gossips between the two marshals that were serious and scheming.

Marshal Kevin seemed to be very close to Marshal Ji, and there was even a picture of him.

It was extremely exciting!
