Chapter 1802 That's all (Two-part long chapter combined)

Before me stretched a vast, pitch-black universe, as silent as a deathly wilderness.

The central star of the Beichen Empire, Beichen Star, is covered by alloy metal and a silver light curtain.

Here, the starlight is swallowed up by a sea of ​​artificial lights.

Countless quantum satellites and space fortresses intertwine to form a three-dimensional defense network, capable of analyzing even the trajectory of a meteor in real time.

A small bat-shaped fighter jet, resembling an ordinary aircraft, appeared ghost-like in its near-planetary orbit, skimming along the planet's synchronous orbit.

This is the small bat-type fighter jet that Xia Chujian is riding in; it has already completed the space jump from Southern Cross to North Star.

The hatch opened, and a sky-blue mecha figure slid out, like a ray of light at dawn, before quickly disappearing back into the darkness of space.

It was early summer when we met.

She arrived at Beichen Star alone, without making a sound.

She was talking to Huo Yushen on the mecha's communication channel.

"Sever my mech from the Imperial Mech Alliance system, but without leaving any trace."

Huo Yushen's magnetic voice rang out from inside her fully enclosed helmet: "Received. Ultimate command: Eliminate."

His deep voice echoed through the communication channel before he completely severed the signal between Xia Chujian's mech and the entire Empire's mech alliance.

Xia Chujian's Xuan Nu Qingyao Titanium Mech entered a complete stealth mode, absorbing not only visible light and most electromagnetic waves, but also becoming undetectable by any electromagnetic devices.

She disappeared into the atmosphere, like a wisp of black mist falling into dark clouds.

The moment it plunged into the high-altitude plasma layer, flames engulfed the outer layer of the mech.

Cutting off the connection with the Imperial Mech Alliance system also meant that she cut off the connection with Huo Yushen.

Now, she can speak to Qilu without any restraint.

"Qi Lu, choose me the most secluded and fastest route into the Imperial Palace in the capital."

Qi Lu quickly activated all the detection equipment and selected the most concealed, dangerous, but also the fastest route in the capital's defense system.

……

In the passageway above the capital of Beichen Star, crimson heat waves, carrying alloy metal dust of unidentifiable material, pressed down on the hidden figures within the passageway.

Xia Chujian's mecha has excellent performance.

Within such a tight defense system, she strolled in, each step her mechanical joints finely adjusted to the millisecond level.

In less than three minutes, she had crossed nine spectral scanning grids and three layers of gravity cutting array.

Her target was the palace, which was already visible to the naked eye ahead.

She had been to this palace before, but always with someone else leading the way.

After numerous manual inspections, no strength of the palace's defense system was detected.

This time, she sneaked in secretly, without anyone to guide her, and had to avoid the ubiquitous electromagnetic and gravity defense systems on her own.

The palace complex ahead, supported by a quantum system, is surrounded by an invisible energy mist and an anti-perception barrier.

Any unauthorized life form that infiltrates will be instantly crushed by the "gravity fracture field".

As Xia Chujian traveled along the way, he became increasingly impressed with She Zhuyin.

Perhaps only she could silently bypass so many defense systems and enter the depths of the palace.

Although she returned empty-handed, it wasn't because she lacked ability, but because she was seriously injured and hadn't recovered.

She's this amazing even in such a severely injured state; I wonder how incredible she'll be when she fully recovers!

Xia Chujian sighed inwardly and soon arrived at the top of the palace complex.

Following Qi Lu's instructions, she secretly launched a compressed dark matter jamming missile, causing a 0.03-second fluctuation in the outer protective shield of the palace—this was her window.

The mecha's speed suddenly increased, and Xia Chujian seemed to transform into a sky-blue crown of light, piercing through the wave and directly entering the palace complex.

No alarm systems, inside or outside the palace, were triggered.

Xia Chujian thus arrived at the palace where Empress Tantai Zijun resided.

At this time, she was still not resting and was still having a meeting with her subordinates.

Xia Chujian landed at the conference room door, pulled down his helmet, and said to the dumbfounded guards and secretary at the door, "I am Xia Chujian, and I have come to see His Majesty by imperial decree."

The guards at the door were first surprised, then overjoyed, and saluted her, saying, "Greetings, Marshal Xia!"

"I will inform them immediately!"

He quickly contacted the people inside the conference room and excitedly said, "Marshal Xia Chujian has arrived!"

"He's right at the door, he wants to see His Majesty!"

The noisy discussions in the conference room suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

All eyes were on Empress Tantai Zijun.

Empress Tantai Zijun was taken aback at first, and asked, "Is it really Marshal Xia Chujian?"

"I only received the news half an hour ago that she had received the imperial decree."

"How could they have arrived so quickly?"

"Isn't she in the Southern Cross star system?"

The guard outside the door glanced at Xia Chujian and said firmly, "It is indeed Marshal Xia Chujian, there is no mistake."

Empress Tantai Zijun wondered if it was the person who delivered her decree who brought Xia Chujian along with her bat-type fighter jet.

But I didn't hear him say that...

Empress Tantai Zijun narrowed her eyes and said, "Please invite Marshal Xia in."

The conference room door opened, and Xia Chujian walked in calmly.

In the conference room, Empress Tantai Zijun sat at the head of the table, smiling as she looked at her.

On both sides of the long table were people dressed as officers and guards.

Xia Chujian bowed slightly to Empress Tantai Zijun and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask what urgent matter has led you to summon me back?"

Empress Tantai Zijun didn't waste any time. She simply threw a file at Xia Chujian's feet and said, "Coincidentally, I was just discussing this matter with them."

"Someone has reported that Marshal Xia, you are abusing your military power and harboring rebellious intentions... I would like to hear Marshal Xia's opinion."

This is to let her defend herself.

Xia Chujian was already mentally prepared and could not defend herself.

She simply said, "Your Majesty should ask the person who made the report."

Does it matter what I think?

Empress Tantai Zijun raised an eyebrow: "I'm giving Marshal Xia a chance to speak. Marshal Xia, don't waste this opportunity."

Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I'll say it again: whoever reports it must provide evidence."

"If the whistleblower has evidence, Your Majesty is free to use that evidence to prove my innocence."

"If not... then the person who made the accusation is making a false accusation!"

"I beg Your Majesty to severely punish those who made false accusations!"

After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she raised her head and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to the Empress.

Empress Tantai Zijun seemed surprised by Xia Chujian's stubbornness and unyielding attitude.

But then I thought, isn't this Xia Chujian?

If she weren't so assertive, she wouldn't be Xia Chujian...

Empress Tantai Zijun sighed and said, "I know that Marshal Xia is loyal and devoted."

"However, since the other party has made a report and provided some evidence, the military and the military court are verifying it."

"Marshal Xia, please stay in the palace for a few days and wait for the results."

As Empress Tantai Zijun spoke, she activated her "Submission" mental ability on Xia Chujian while waving her hand. Immediately, a group of palace guards dressed in second-generation mechs rushed out from one of the doors of the conference room to take Xia Chujian away.

The Empress believed that as long as she was determined to capture Xia Chujian, it would only be a matter of minutes.

Because she has great confidence in her "submission" ability.

She knew that Xia Chujian was just an ordinary person without spiritual power, and not even a genetically evolved person.

Xia Chujian seemed completely unaffected, merely tilting her head and asking, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"You summoned me back just to lock me up?"

Empress Tantai Zijun looked at Xia Chujian with a warm smile, as if she were looking at a caged bird.

She leaned back on her dragon throne, looked at her slender fingers, and said calmly, "Marshal Xia, I have high hopes for you."

"As long as you can clear up the matter of rebellion, I will regard you as a trusted minister from now on!"

"So please bear with this little trouble for now."

As she spoke, she increased the output of her "Submission" ability.

She had previously tried to save face for Xia Chujian.

But now that she's being so ungrateful, then don't blame her for being impolite!

Empress Tantai Zijun thought her expression was kind enough and her posture was humble enough, but to her surprise, Xia Chujian still didn't buy it.

With a wave of her hand, Xia Chujian summoned the Mysterious Maiden Azure Titanium Mech, which immediately covered her entire body.

Without hesitation, he steered the mech upwards at breakneck speed.

boom--!
With a loud bang, she actually blasted open the roof of the palace and flew straight into the night sky!

Empress Tantai Zijun was completely unprepared for Xia Chujian's forceful approach. Looking up at the palace roof with a hole punched through it, she gritted her teeth and said, "...This is a newly repaired palace?! And this is the quality?!"

It's important to know that the entire palace complex has its own defense system, which even a second-generation mech couldn't break through!

But Xia Chujian broke through the roof using only her second-generation mecha!
It's obvious that the newly built palace is of very poor quality!

Also, why does her "submission" ability seem to have no effect on Xia Chujian?!
Empress Tantai Zijun was both alarmed and cold-faced: "Chase! Xia Chujian resisted arrest!"

"By imperial decree: Imperial guards, all troops stationed in the capital, the space fortresses, and the First and Second Starfleets are to be mobilized! Arrest Xia Chujian!"

"I refuse to believe that with so many troops under my command, I can't capture just one person!"

……

Xia Chujian broke through the roof of the palace and flew into the sky.

Looking down at the still quiet capital city, Xia Chujian frowned.

She suddenly wondered, why was she doing it so secretly?

Wasn't she said to have achieved so much that she threatened the emperor's position?!

Her achievements overshadowed the emperor!

In any case, Empress Tantai Zijun has already torn off all pretense of civility and can't wait to take action against her!

What is she waiting for?!
Xia Chujian instantly had an idea and ordered Qi Lu: "Convert my small bat fighter into the shape of a large combat aircraft."

Qi Lu seemed to understand her thoughts instantly, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately said, "...How about we just switch to the mini star destroyer form?"

The Star Destroyer was simply too large for her to switch to her small Bat fighter.

But the mini version seems like an option.

Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded: "Let's do it this way!"

Soon, the stealthy small baton fighter jet roared down from the sky and came to her side.

Xia Chujian opened the hatch and flew inside.

The small bat-type fighter jet changed its form again.

A miniature star destroyer appeared like a ghost above the imperial palace of the Northern Star capital.

Although it is called a "mini" form, this is only relative to the actual size of the Star Destroyer.

In fact, it is also quite large in size.

When it appeared above the Imperial Palace in the capital, it was like a huge dark cloud, covering the entire sky of the imperial city.

This immediately triggered the alarm system in the palace and even the entire capital.

The blaring alarms not only shattered the tranquility of the night, but also seemed to toll a death knell for a star about to fall.

Qi Lu controlled the miniature Star Destroyer that the small Bat fighter had switched to, and its appearance was very realistic.

The battered yet still ferocious alloy body, accompanied by the shrill scream of the overloaded plasma engine and the incandescent flames of revenge spewed from the engine, appeared before everyone.

As soon as it appeared, it ruthlessly tore apart the imperial palace, the golden alloy dome that symbolized eternal rule, with overwhelming force.

What collapsed was not only the priceless dome defense system, but also the unquestionable supreme authority of the Tantai royal family.

At this moment, not only did all the guards of the Imperial Palace in the capital gather, but countless people throughout the capital also set their sights on the sky above the Imperial Palace.

There was no way around it; that "Star Destroyer" was just too big!
For ordinary people, how can they tell whether it's a real Star Destroyer or a miniature model?

In short, just one word: "big" is all you need!

A new trending topic quickly appeared on the StarNet.

#StarDestroyer! I saw a StarDestroyer!

"Is this... the Star Destroyer that the Southern Expeditionary Fleet took away?!"

"Probably... You can see it's covered in scars; it must have been through a major battle..."

"Holy crap! It really is a Star Destroyer from the Southern Expeditionary Fleet?! Is Marshal Xia Chujian back?!"

Everyone remembered.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of talk online, saying that His Majesty issued twelve imperial edicts to summon Xia Chujian back to the capital, but she refused!
So today, you're finally back?
……

Xia Chujian turned on the lights on the "mini star destroyer".

Even though she was the only one on the huge "Star Destroyer", she still wanted to create the illusion of a massive army!
The lights reflected the starlight, covering the "Star Destroyer" with millions of crystal fragments, refracting the iridescent colors of the empire's twilight.

Xia Chujian's voice was transmitted throughout the city using the "Star Destroyer" communication system.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Xia Chujian, the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Southern Expeditionary Fleet."

"We just finished the battle against the Zerg in the Southern Cross, and we also went to the Eastern Heavenly Plains Divine Kingdom and the Western Manelli Federation to wipe out all the remaining Zerg there."

"Because I went to another star system, I missed Your Majesty's decree. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"I conquered the three star regions of Southern Cross, Eastern Tianyuan, and Western Manelli for the Northern Chen Empire, recovered these three seceding nations, planted the imperial flag on these long-lost homelands, and completed the new unification of the Northern Chen Empire!"

"As a result, I missed His Majesty's imperial edict, which angered His Majesty."

"Today, I was ordered to return to the capital, but His Majesty claims that someone has reported me for treason. He not only demands that I prove my innocence, but also intends to imprison me!"

"Tantai Zijun, don't make up those despicable excuses!"

"You're just worried that my achievements will overshadow your master, aren't you?!"

"When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked."

"But I am not a dog waiting to be slaughtered."

"I am Xia Chujian! Why should you, as the emperor, have the right to arbitrarily decide another person's life and death without distinguishing right from wrong?!"

"Why should hundreds of millions of people support the Tantai clan?!"

"This damned imperial system! It should have been abolished long ago!"

"I, Xia Chujian, hereby swear!"

"The rule of the Tantai royal family ends today!"

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