The Last Sentinel

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just as Ye Feng had successfully evacuated his million-dollar embezzlement and returned home.

Hua Xiaobai, far away at an unknown location, picked up a top-secret file.

"Twenty years ago, a massive war broke out in the Milky Way. This war was started by a powerful silicon-based life form who unexpectedly triggered a quest in the upper levels of the Black Tower and obtained a technological core called the [Star Armor Saint Cloth]."

"This technological core is a treasured artifact within the Black Tower, capable of altering the course of warfare across the entire galaxy!"

"For this reason, forces from more than half the galaxy have mobilized to try and divide this treasure among themselves!"

"The silicon-based civilization, with its 100% silicon-based lineage, mobilized its entire force, using a single powerful entity to withstand the pressure from a force as strong as half the galaxy. In this battle, the silicon-based life sequence suffered heavy losses, with countless powerful beings perishing. The silicon-based life sequence, which once dominated the galaxy, was relegated to second place, while the top position in the galaxy was now held by the metal-based civilization..."

Hua Xiaobai looked at the intelligence report, her eyes filled with curiosity. "I really want to know, is this so-called [Star Armor Saint Cloth] really as powerful as the intelligence reports say? Are you exaggerating its strength? Half the galaxy is participating in this massive battle, it's unbelievable!"

Opposite Hua Xiaobai, the mechanical lieutenant who had instantly killed the Billy brothers had a hint of confusion in his single crimson eye as he murmured, "To be honest, I've never seen any technological core called the 'Star Armor Saint Cloth.' But according to the silicon-based lifeforms who participated in the war, a set of the 'Star Armor Saint Cloth' had actually already been manufactured back then. It was in the hands of that powerful silicon-based expert who obtained the technological core. That expert used the 'Star Armor Saint Cloth' to fight over a hundred Black Tower experts of the same level, and even Black Tower experts of higher levels were defeated and seriously injured by him. That's what led to the Saint Cloth War."

Hua Xiaobai nodded and asked, "So who finally got their hands on the [Star Armor Saint Cloth]?"

The mechanical lieutenant shook his head. "I don't know. In the end, all the top-tier silicon-based sequence warriors were exhausted, and the participants from all the major forces in the galaxy suffered heavy casualties. It's really hard to say who will end up with the [Star Armor]!"

Hua Xiaobai spread her hands in distress and said, "Then how can I help you! Without a single clue, how can I help you find the [Star Armor Saint Cloth]!"

"No, sir!" The mechanical lieutenant, his single eye glowing with the sincere red light of a silicon-based life form, humbly said, "I'm asking you for help with something else! Not to find the [Star Armor]!"

Hua Xiaobai unscrewed a bottle of Elf Amino Sunwell Pure Water, took a satisfied sip, and said, "These past few days, the lieutenant has treated me like a brother. Your problems are my problems! Speak freely! As a carbon-based life form, I will never refuse to help if it's within my power!"

The mechanical lieutenant listened to Hua Xiaobai's words with a hint of excitement, "Yes, that's how it is. After the battle of the Saint Cloths, our silicon-based life sequence experts withered away, and the power structure changed drastically. The silicon-based master was seriously injured and disappeared. The opposition that had been suppressed by the silicon-based master joined forces with the silicon-based queen to launch a rebellion. The silicon-based queen seized power in the silicon-based sequence, and all the old ministers and nobles were purged."

"At this very moment, the metal-based life sequence launched an attack on our silicon-based life, with the powerful members of the gold race exerting pressure on the origin galaxy of silicon-based civilization."

"The Golden Family of experts took advantage of our weakness in the silicon-based population and proposed a series of treaties to us, including the Proton Treaty."

"The royal family of the silicon-based civilization needs to provide protons to the Golden Clan as collateral."

"If we follow the normal traditions of silicon-based civilizations, protons should all be princesses, because silicon-based life forms are the same as your carbon-based ones—dominated by males, and princes are all prospective heirs!"

"But back when the Silicon Queen was in power, she was a madwoman. She only had one daughter, and she didn't want to send her daughter as a hostage, so she proposed changing the hostage tradition and sending a prince instead!"

"The Golden Clan took advantage of the situation to exert pressure. Originally, sending away one prince would have been enough, but due to the Queen's weakness and compromise, all of the more than one hundred princes of the Silicon-based Civilization were sent away. The Silicon-based Civilization had no heirs, leaving only a Silicon-based princess without the right of succession."

As he spoke, the mechanical lieutenant clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and ripples of pain spread across his silver-gray skin, showing that he was in great pain.

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaobai remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was screaming "Holy crap!"

What did I hear?

The Empress sent all of the Emperor's more than one hundred princes away as hostages, leaving her own daughter behind!

Could this queen be a spy for the Golden Clan?

Once upon a time, back on Earth, Hua Xiaobai heard that the Empress had sent her son to marry a foreign tribe, and the very next day her son led a foreign army to confront his mother at Xuanwu Gate!

Now we've entered the interstellar age. The silicon-based royal family has abandoned over a hundred princes with inheritance rights to alien races, leaving behind a princess without inheritance rights.

This operation can't be described as defying the heavens; it's like poking a huge hole in the sky.

Hua Xiaobai could easily imagine the lively scene of over a hundred princes, each leading an army, returning to the silicon-based civilization to vie for the throne!

The most chaotic period in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty was the War of the Eight Princes!

The Milky Way is about to be thrown into chaos by a hundred kings!

Looking back, in times of chaos, strategists always emerge. Now, in this chaotic world, I, Hua Xiaobai, am one of these renowned strategists, the greatest master of the Guigu School!

If I could bring order to this chaotic world, no, if I could unify the galaxy, then I should become the head of the Guigu School of Strategists, so that even Guiguzi would nod in agreement, and Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan would line up to pour me tea and toast me!

"Sir!" The mechanical lieutenant stared excitedly at Hua Xiaobai. "I overheard your conversation with the elf princess. I know you are a big shot among carbon-based life forms, and you wield considerable influence on the original planet of carbon-based life forms! If you are willing to support me and allow me to return to fight for the throne, as long as I can obtain the throne of the master of silicon-based civilization, I am willing to fund you and the carbon-based life forms behind you to defeat the Golden Civilization and become the second-ranked civilization in the Milky Way!"

At this moment, Hua Xiaobai looked at the mechanical lieutenant, no, the mechanical silicon-based sequence prince, and could only say that he had been waiting for this opportunity all his life, waiting for a chaotic world, waiting for a truly chaotic world to prove his talent!

Looking at the current state of the Hundred Kings Battle, and then thinking back to my previous performance in Three Kingdoms Kill, I realize I was just playing around!

A true strategist should survey the universe with disdain, turning countless planets to ashes and annihilating countless civilizations with a mere wave of their hand!

But Hua Xiaobai also knew that he was not Ye Feng, and he could not possibly have the same level of influence as Ye Feng. If he spoke too confidently at this time, he might suffer the consequences later.

Hua Xiaobai patted the silicon-based prince on the shoulder, "The carbon-based life sequence is only the third sequence. There's nothing wrong with being third. You first-ranked silicon-based and second-ranked gold-based are fighting too fiercely. We carbon-based people are not willing to participate in your war."

The silicon-based prince was stunned, a hint of despair in his eyes. "You...you're rejecting me? I'm very sincere. Please consider it. You can raise the price; as long as it doesn't desecrate silicon-based civilization, I'll agree..."

Hua Xiaobai sighed deeply, "I can see your sincerity, and I understand the grievances you've suffered. You clearly have the right to inherit, but you were eliminated and ended up as a lowly soldier in this foreign land. I, a carbon-based being, can completely empathize with that feeling! However, there's an old saying in carbon-based civilization: rebellion needs a reason, such as 'suppressing the rebellion by imperial decree'..."

The silicon-based prince asked, "Fengtian Jingnan? What's that?"

Hua Xiaobai gestured and said, "It means that the silicon-based civilization has been controlled by treacherous officials, its power has been usurped, and the silicon-based civilization is declining. As the heir prince, you are ordered by your father to set things right and uphold the justice of the universe's origin!"

The Silicon-Based Prince clapped his hands suddenly, "Yes! What you say is absolutely right, sir! That's exactly what I've been thinking! So, when will we quell the rebellion in accordance with Heaven's will?"

Hua Xiaobai coughed and said, "We need strength, we need time, we need manpower. The Fengtian Pacification Campaign is a huge undertaking. Your more than one hundred brothers are also recruiting men. In addition to having a powerful force like the Carbon-Based Civilization as our backer, we also need many allies!"

"This, I'll help you!" The white-haired elf princess walked in, looked at the two talking in secret, and smiled, "As expected of Ye Feng, the super genius sentinel of carbon-based life, your intelligence is truly maxed out. You've convinced the prince to join your pirate ship so quickly!"

Hua Xiaobai righteously corrected him, "This isn't a pirate ship, it's a ship of justice, a ship of fairness!"

"It's up to you, Ye Feng. Who do you want to contact?"

"Give me a list first. I need resources, connections, and channels! I need to offer the carbon-based civilization enough benefits to persuade them to join the camp supporting the silicon-based prince's revenge..."
