Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1779 You Win This Time (Two-Chapter Combination)

Xia Chujian rolled her eyes: "If she wants to indulge in romance, she should wait until the world is at peace!"

There was an unusual sense of anxiety and impatience in his tone.

Huo Yushen's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed at her calmly and said, "Are you so angry because the Empress disregards Gui Yuanxing's life or death, or because the Empress she has chosen Zong Ruoan as her consort?"

Xia Chujian blinked, taken aback: "...What do you mean?"

"I would be furious if she chose a Zergling as her consort at this point!"

"What does this have to do with Zong Ruoan?"

"Besides, what's wrong with Zong Ruoan? Does Zong Ruoan have a get-out-of-jail-free card?"

"Just because she provoked Zong Ruo'an, I can't say anything?!"

"Huo Yushen, I can tell you have a lot of grievances against me. Do you also look down on Zong Ruoan and want to be chosen as the Empress's consort?!"

Huo Yushen: "..."

My heart, which had been a little tense, quietly relaxed.

Sure enough, he was just worrying unnecessarily...

Huo Yushen calmly analyzed with a blank expression: "Don't make wild assumptions."

"The Empress won't choose me, and I won't let the Empress choose me."

"I'm the kind of person who will only be with someone I truly like."

Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief and clapped her hands: "That's good! But when you find someone you like, you should also investigate her background carefully."

"Our two families have too many secrets. If it's someone we can't trust..."

Huo Yushen's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "...What if it's someone I can't trust? You don't agree?"

Xia Chujian spread her hands and said frankly, "Then I can only ask you to move out and live with the person you like."

"I'll take care of your aunt!"

“A person who cannot be trusted will definitely not get along with your aunt.”

"Your aunt is such a good person, she won't say anything even when she's wronged, and she just suffers your wife's temper for no reason. Why bother? What's the point?"

“I’m different. My aunt lives with me and will never have to put up with her daughter-in-law’s temper.”

Her assertive tone left Huo Yushen speechless, to the point of wanting to vomit blood.

He couldn't hold back any longer and took several deep breaths before calmly changing the subject: "...Tao Pao should be at our house; he didn't report it to his superiors."

"Chen Yanjun and the others haven't met up with you, and they wouldn't report this at this time without warning."

"As for the other surviving Star Marines, even if they wanted to report to their superiors, they had no way to do so."

"you do not need to worry."

"The people above are unaware of the situation here."

Xia Chujian sneered: "Perhaps Tao Pao and Chen Yanjun have reported it, but no one has paid any attention!"

Huo Yushen remained silent for a long time before saying, "...Although those people weren't all that good."

"However, most of them aren't that bad."

"Don't think too badly of them."

"At this time, under these circumstances, no one dared to stop the news from spreading."

"It should be the garrison survivors of the space fortress. No one has reported it; they're all waiting for your news."

Xia Chujian glanced at him, then immediately sent messages to Chen Yanjun and Tao Pao, asking if they had reported to Beichen Star.

Both of them replied that they hadn't yet.

Tao Pao and Chen Yanjun were indeed waiting for news from Xia Chujian.

Xia Chujian felt a little better and said, "I'll count this as a win."

Huo Yushen: "...".

What to win?
He didn't gamble with her...

When Xia Chujian looked at the StarNet again, her emotions had calmed down.

She connected to the StarNet and first sent a message to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Military Headquarters on Beichen Star requesting support.

Then she asked Qilu to create a real-name verified Xingwang account for her and posted a video on Xingwang.

Title: #Guiyuan Star Space Fortress ambushed by Zerg, all forces wiped out#.

Then, taking advantage of this topic, they once again appealed to the military and Empress Tantai Zijun, requesting their support.

Because Guiyuan Star originally didn't have a single interstellar fleet.

The only remaining space defense system—the Space Fortress—has also been destroyed.

The video Xia Chujian chose was the footage of the space fortress's final crash.

No embellishment is needed; the sheer spectacle of massive space fortresses disintegrating in space and plummeting into the atmosphere, leaving long trails of smoke in the clouds, is already breathtaking.

As soon as she posted the video, it was discovered by netizens who had been searching for Guiyuan Star on the StarNet.

Everyone noticed that Guiyuan Star had suddenly broken away from the Beichen Empire's star network.

Previously, the hot topic on the Star Network was the major scandal of the Empress choosing a royal consort, which dominated the trending searches.

Now, as soon as Xia Chujian posted her video and plea for help using her real name, it went viral on social media within three minutes.

The people of Guiyuan Star also discovered that they could connect to the Empire's Star Network and no longer needed to play on Guiyuan Star's local area network, and they all began to raise various questions.

They witnessed the space fortress crash firsthand, but they didn't know that it was because the Zerg had launched a sneak attack on Guiyuan Star!
This news is absolutely explosive!

This not only immediately ignited the entire StarNet, but also threw the noble families and families of high-ranking officials residing on Guiyuan Star into a panic.

Most of them escaped from Shaofu Star.

What I thought was the safest place has now become the most dangerous place!
In an instant, the airport above Mulan City was quickly occupied by the sudden arrival of flying vehicles.

Many powerful and influential people are looking for the fastest way to get their families away from Guiyuan Star.

Those interstellar ships that regularly travel between Guiyuan Star and other habitable planets are their preferred choice.

However, at this moment, Empress Tantai Zijun, who was inspecting the front line of Shaofu Star, urgently declared Guiyuan Star to be in a state of war and ordered the immediate sealing of all wormholes on Guiyuan Star.

This means that no one on Guiyuan Star, regardless of who they are, can leave Guiyuan Star through the wormhole at this moment.

In interstellar travel, without the use of wormholes, humanity would be unable to make any progress. Even reaching the nearest habitable planet would be hundreds of light-years away.

Even S-class gene evolvers will exhaust all their life force in the starry sky.

Although Xia Chujian disdained those powerful nobles and their families who were always trying to escape, he still had some reservations when he learned that Empress Tantai Zijun had sealed off all the wormholes.

After thinking for a moment, she went directly to the StarNet and used her real-name verified account to tag Empress Tantai Zijun's official account.

[Xia Chujian]: Your Majesty, the wormhole has been sealed. When will reinforcements arrive?

Empress Tantai Zijun originally did not want to answer Xia Chujian's question.

Unexpectedly, Xia Chujian had such a high level of influence on the StarNet.

She tagged the Empress's official account, and it immediately became a trending topic.

The entire empire is watching her; she has no choice but to respond.

In the end, Empress Tantai Zijun had no choice but to reply personally.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: Lieutenant General Xia, what is the current situation on Guiyuan Star? The wormhole is only temporarily closed. It will be reopened after I and the military assess the situation.

[Xia Chujian]: Your Majesty, the space fortress on Guiyuan Star has crashed. Most of the 100,000 garrison troops have been killed in action, temporarily resisting the first sneak attack by the Zerg.

[Summer's First Encounter]: If there is a second chance, Guiyuan Star will face the invading Zerg without a space fortress or interstellar fleet.

[Xia Chujian]: Your Majesty, please send reinforcements immediately, otherwise, the fate of Guiyuan Star is in grave danger!
Empress Tantai Zijun only replied with one sentence.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: General Xia, Guiyuan Star is dangerous, but if we rashly open wormholes now, can you guarantee that the Zerg who have already arrived on Guiyuan Star will not use these wormholes to travel to Zangge Star, Kanli Star, Shaofu Star, or even Beichen Star?!
Xia Chujian had no answer.

She really can't guarantee that.

This is a real problem, and it was immediately recognized by most netizens.

Of course, none of these netizens are residents of Guiyuan Star.

For them, severing the wormhole connecting to Guiyuan Star was indeed an important means of protecting their planet from Zerg attacks.

But what Xia Chujian really wanted to say was that the Zerg's sneak attack on Guiyuan Star did not take the normal wormhole passage at all.

It's clear that the Zerg have powerful beings on their side who can open new passages.

Therefore, closing wormholes does not guarantee protection against Zerg attacks.

However, she couldn't say that closing the wormhole was completely useless.

Since that's the case, Xia Chujian will only ask for permission one last time.

[Xia Chujian]: If Your Majesty cannot dispatch reinforcements in time, then please grant me supreme military command on Guiyuan Star. I can act expediently, mobilizing the maximum force to ensure the safety of all residents of Guiyuan Star and fight against the Zerg.

Empress Tantai Zijun did not immediately respond to this request.

She was inside a large bat-type fighter jet above Shaofu Star, watching the information flow like a waterfall on the virtual display screen in front of her.

They're all netizens on the StarNet, all circling her and urging her to agree to Xia Chujian's request.

It was almost like being held hostage.

As a monarch, Empress Tantai Zijun hated nothing more than being coerced by others.

If she becomes emperor but cannot act according to her own wishes, then what is the point of being emperor?
However, Xia Chujian's request was pushed to the top of the trending searches, and then, for the first time ever, it was marked with eighteen "hot" tags!
This level of popularity is unprecedented since the launch of StarNet.

The netizens on Guiyuan Star, in particular, were extremely excited and almost cried out for Xia Chujian to be the supreme commander.

Even the highest commander of the ground forces on Guiyuan Star did not hesitate to use his real-name verified account to indicate his willingness to follow Lieutenant General Xia Chujian's command.

He even added details about the situation on Guiyuan Star, explaining that it was at Lieutenant General Xia Chujian's request that their ground forces activate the air defense system to destroy the fragments of the falling space fortresses and the sporadic attacks by the Zerg.

His statement caused the number of people responding on the trending topics to double instantly, and the topic became so popular that it was followed by 36 "explosive" comments!

This level of popularity is probably only the same as what the Northern Chen Empire would achieve even after its destruction.

Because almost all residents of the Beichen Empire who had internet access logged into their accounts and demanded that Empress Tantai Zijun grant Lieutenant General Xia Chujian's request.

There are also many important figures among them.

For example, the four great dukes: the Zong, Quan, Su, and Li.

Cabinet Secretary Kwon Jun-tae, the Speakers of the Upper and Lower Houses of the Senate, Kwon Yo-hoon, the Chief Legal Counsel of the Senate, and Member of Parliament Jong Jo-an all used their own verified accounts to support Xia Chujian's request.

On the military side, apart from the five members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest authority, at least 70% of the other officers at the rank of colonel or above expressed their support for Xia Chujian.

Ye Chenfeng, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet currently stationed on Shaofu Star, even volunteered to lead the Fourth Interstellar Fleet to Guiyuan Star to fight against the Zerg!
Their Fourth Starfleet was transferred here after the Fifth Starfleet was destroyed and its designation was discontinued.

They were all prepared to die, and they were stationed on the front line of Shaofu Star.

Unexpectedly, after being stationed here for more than a month, they didn't see a single Zerg!
As a result, the Zerg did not launch a sneak attack on them. Instead, they went to the rear of the entire Beichen star system—Guiyuan Star—and launched a major attack!

In fact, everyone in the entire Beichen star system with even a slightly normal IQ has already realized just how serious this matter has become!
If it weren't for the desperate counterattack by the garrison at Guiyuan Star's space fortress, and Lieutenant General Xia Chujian's timely support, Guiyuan Star might have already fallen...

Just when everyone put aside their prejudices and unanimously supported Xia Chujian, Empress Tantai Zijun realized that she could no longer delay.

If this drags on any longer, and something happens to Gui Yuanxing, people won't blame Xia Chujian, they'll blame the emperor for not giving Gui Yuanxing the support he deserves!

Left with no other choice, Empress Tantai Zijun replied to Xia Chujian.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: I am deeply gratified that General Xia was able to take on this heavy responsibility for the sake of Guiyuan Star.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: Hereby, I hereby announce that Lieutenant General Xia Chujian has been temporarily appointed as the Supreme Military Commander of Guiyuan Star, and is authorized to mobilize all resources of Guiyuan Star to deal with the Zerg invasion!

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: I will hold a joint meeting with the Chief of Staff of the Military Department to closely monitor the movements of Guiyuan Star. Once the time is right, I will reopen the wormhole leading to Guiyuan Star to deliver supplies to you.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: Before reinforcements arrive, I authorize General Xia Chu to summon all humanoid commoners and humanoid slaves from Guiyuan Star to serve as temporary soldiers.

As Xia Chujian read through the Empress's replies, the anxiety that had been hanging over her finally subsided.

She finally saw it.

Empress Tantai Zijun not only refused to provide her with any support, but also intended to use all the humanoids as cannon fodder...

The Zerg's combat power is so great that even the elite genetically evolved soldiers wearing second-generation mechs can't defeat them. How can you expect those humanoids with no defenses to withstand it with their bare bodies?!
In an instant, Xia Chujian thought of many things, and even more so of where these humanoid beings came from.

Their ancestors were all loyal followers of Empress Qi Sha.

Tantai Lin seized the throne and now he doesn't even want to leave any of those people's descendants behind.

The abacus beads were hitting her so hard they were almost splattering into her face!
　Thank you for your concern.

　　Luckily, it was my foot that I fell, not my hand, so I can still type. ().

　　There will be a new update at 12:05 AM!
