Poverty makes me capable of anything.

“This time, I can’t let that woman keep causing trouble. I must completely wash away this shame!” Keynes said.

Sawyer nodded: "Yes, I can't wait."

He wants to make a triumphant return.

He wanted to declare to the world that he was not a traitor, but a hero of the Eternal Star Road!

He endured humiliation and hardship, not for anything else, but just to prove himself!

Sawyer clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a burning light.

Keynes smiled and exchanged fist bumps with him.

But in my heart I was thinking—

If you dare to run away again this time, I'll twist your head off, and not only that, I'll use it as a chamber pot!

The spaceship sped forward.

There are only half a month left before we arrive at the veil of light.

This past two weeks.

Eternal Star Path gradually suspended all operations in the New World Starfield.

At first glance, it appeared they were digesting their previous gains, so this action did not attract the attention of the War Court.

Until the appointed day arrives.

The governor immediately convened a special meeting of the Grand Council.

The theme of the meeting was to launch an attack on the Exiled Empire in conjunction with the New World Starfield.

Since the elders of parliament had already agreed to the proposal, the vote held at the special session was merely a formality.

That afternoon, the governor issued a war mobilization order.

Not only did the armies in the New World Starfield turn their guns around, but the fleets on the Eternal Star Road also set sail and deployed their troops at the border between the two civilizations.

They could launch an attack on the homeland of the exiled empire at any time.

Nathaniel received the message on the afternoon of the second day after the Eternal Starway Fleet had set sail.

The Eternal Star Path temporarily constructed numerous star gates, allowing them to move much faster than the Exiled Empire had anticipated.

"Oops!"

Nathaniel realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, by evening he received news that the fleet in the New World Starfield had launched a counterattack in multiple locations.

Their fierce appearance suggested they wanted to drive the Exiled Empire out of their territory in one breath.

"I never expected them to join forces."

Nathaniel began to feel fortunate that he had sent Kozmo to the Hawkeye Sector.

Given Eternal Star Road's modus operandi, they will definitely retaliate against An Ran.

With Cozmo around, he's sure to give them a pleasant surprise!

However, Heda's expression didn't seem as relaxed as Nathaniel had imagined.

Upon learning that Eternal Star Path and New World Starfield had launched a joint attack, she immediately listed Patrick and Guy as key targets for observation.

"Even if they were genuinely loyal before, it's hard to guarantee they'll turn back once they see things are going wrong."

Freya nodded repeatedly: "I'll go and arrange for someone to follow them right now."

“Let the strangers do it; they’re the best at this,” Anran suggested.

Heda said, "Yes, I agree."

She didn't think the players were any better than the professionally trained people from the Exiled Empire.

But there is one thing those people simply cannot do.

That is, even if a player dies and is nailed to a coffin, they can still loudly broadcast the information they have gathered.

"If the other side sends a large number of people..."

"Let's not count on the frontline command; their situation is definitely more serious."

Kozmo interrupted Heda.

"Let's raise the alert level first."

Heda shook her head.

At this point, even if they wanted to take the initiative, they wouldn't be able to find a target.

Actually, An Ran is the most relaxed one, since what's here is just her clone, and the worst outcome is that her clone gets destroyed.

She was actually hoping that Patrick and Guy would betray her.

This way, she can happily grind kill missions.

However, An Ran did not let her guard down.

Tsyk-a, the panda, and Ella are all here. Unlike their clones, they can't be resurrected after linking to the Heart of Dynex.

Only pandas can be considered safe.

After all, An Ran had mastered the Void Descent skill.

If the panda is in danger, she can immediately use her main body to activate a skill to pull the panda to safety.

To ensure the safety of Tsykia and Ella, Anran secretly constructed a spatial passage within the Pantheon's base.

"If you encounter danger, run away immediately, understand?"

Ciqiya waved her hand: "Alright, alright, no need to repeat yourself. I value my life more than you do."

"If only that were the case."

It was about the day after the outbreak of the frontline war that the safely placed space cruise lighthouse captured a large, unfamiliar fleet.

"coming!"

This fleet has almost twice the number of warships as the Exiled Empire.

What's most frustrating is that this wasn't the only fleet launching the attack; another one came from the New World Starfield.

Heda said with a solemn expression, "Our only way out is to defeat their Star Domain Overlord."

That's right.

Kozmo didn't believe that Eternal Star Road would be completely unprepared after suffering a loss once; they must have already come up with a way to deal with An Ran.

……

Recent unusual activity has alerted Patrick and Guy.

“What do you think this could be?” Guy asked.

Patrick glanced at the stranger following behind him and whispered to Guy, "The reason they're doing this is because they're afraid we'll rebel. They weren't this sensitive before, but they've suddenly started doing this recently, so they've probably run into trouble."

He paused, then continued, "Do you remember what that guy said?"

Guy's eyes lit up slightly: "You mean the legion commander's counterattack plan?"

Patrick nodded slightly: "I think this is probably it."

Guy hesitated for a moment before saying, "If that's really the case, what should we do? Should we switch sides immediately, or wait and see?"

Patrick pinched his chin.

He had a deep-seated fear of An Ran.

That fear stemmed from an inability to understand Anran's fighting style.

This fear made Patrick more hesitant: "I suggested we observe the situation before making a decision."

If those people don't cooperate, and you hastily switch sides, wouldn't that just be rushing to your death?

Guy's eyes darted around slightly.

He agreed with Patrick's statement.

However, the treatment is completely different depending on whether you arrive early or late.

At this moment, in the fleet on the Eternal Star Road, Keynes and Sawyer, who had been dejected before, were full of confidence.

"It's time to settle accounts!"

A fleet commander standing nearby couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

It seems like he's heard that sentence countless times.

Chapter 07 Without spirit, one is not afraid of mental attacks

The chaos in the Hawkeye Sector has been going on for a long time.

After the Pantheon, unable to withstand the pressure, chose to surrender decisively before the Exiled Empire's fleet could penetrate their base, everything seemed to return to order.

Unfortunately, reality slapped those optimists in the face.

Before two months of peace had even been achieved, the shadow of war had once again loomed over the Eagle Eye Sector.

"Something happened!"

Meanwhile, somewhere in the base area, a group of locals gathered together in a panic.

Although they were still unclear about the specifics of what had happened, the fact that the Exiled Empire's garrison had suddenly raised its alert level to the highest level indicated that a new disaster was about to strike.

really.

In less than five minutes, all the warships docked on the ground and in outer space set sail.

What should have been a pleasant, sunny day quickly turned into an endless night with only a few "stars" visible.

Ordinary people trembled with fear, while wealthy businessmen were even more uneasy.

After emergency consultations, they sent a representative to meet with Patrick, who was staying at home.
