Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Let's just send them on their way. If the others in the Nova Alliance want to travel through time to provide support, we can make an excuse that we suffered heavy losses in order to capture the Ship's Bottom system as soon as possible and need to rest and recuperate. This reason is reasonable.

“Let’s wait a bit, and when we do make our move, let’s hurry and not hold back,” Anran said to Iben.

Iben was taken aback. Didn't you just say that all you had to do was hold off the other side?

“I’ll give you two weeks off!” An Ran said.

"real or fake?"

Believe it or not.

That's great! If we work harder now, we can avoid being exploited by An Ran for a few days. This is a good deal!

Where the two fleets were entangled, the four master-level powerhouses who were originally unmatched temporarily stopped fighting. Not long after Anran received the message from Ella, they also received the message from Cruzeiro.

"Portal!"

Everyone except Yates started breathing rapidly.

Having a portal means they can evacuate from here. Most importantly, that portal allows them to reach the Immortal Cloud Region, so they can return to Aistar!

Good heavens, if there's such a good thing, why bother getting entangled with time travel here?

"The situation is not good."

The astute Yates immediately noticed that the other three master-level experts were wavering; the smiles on their faces were definitely not because they had just destroyed a number of time-space ships.

The situation is very favorable now. If they just slip away like this, the war will be declared a complete failure.

“Do you think you can get away?” Yates said.

What do you mean by that?

"Once you leave, the fleet you leave behind won't be able to hold out for long before it's defeated. When the people from beyond time catch up, do you think you'll be able to get through that portal smoothly?"

"Of course, no matter how fast we go, all these spaceships together would take a whole day to fight in spacetime, while we only need an hour to return to Newland."

Yates's face darkened: "Have you forgotten the honor of being nobles! If you run back like this, you'll never be able to hold your heads high in noble circles for the rest of your lives!"

The three master-level experts chuckled and said in unison:

"Forget about glory and honor. This stuff can't be eaten, and it can't guarantee your survival. At a time like this, why do you still care about this kind of thing?"

“Yates, stop thinking about all that nonsense. Let’s go together. If you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, who will know that we left through the portal?”

"Where there's life, there's hope!"

"Think positively, this is just a strategic retreat. There's no point in us staying here. Rather than dying miserably here, we should return to Ai Star in good health. The Fourth Prince needs us right now!"

Shit.

Strategic retreat? With your attitude, if you return to Aistar and find that Aistar can't be defended either, you'll be the first to run away!

Yates realized that it was impossible to keep these people here.

He couldn't really break ties with these people; the situation was already bad, and if things fell apart, it would be even more hopeless.

"Is a temporary retreat the only option, to hold out on Newland?"

Yates was having a headache.

But then something even more troublesome happened: the three men couldn't reach Cruzeiro after several attempts to call him.

It's unbearable to repair!

The trio were immediately enraged.

"That damn Cruzeiro actually ran off by himself!"

"Never seen such a brazen person!"

"..."

He at least told you about the existence of the portal, Yates frowned, and—

"It's possible he didn't run away, but something happened. The person who infiltrated the core underground through time and space might not be simple," Yates warned.

"How could that be?"

Nothing is impossible.

"Since you put it that way, we should go back and check the situation. If that person is very powerful, wouldn't it be dangerous for us not to go back to Newland?"

Yates was speechless.

What else could he say?

They broke up, they broke up, and the breakup happened so fast it caught everyone off guard.

Yates stood there, stunned and at a loss.

The "wisest" decision at this point would be to leave with them, ignore all this bullshit war, leave the Xianyun region, and return to your own territory.

However, many of the soldiers who remained on the battlefield were brought from his territory.

When we came, we said we would fight side by side and advance and retreat together.

How could he abandon the soldiers who had supported his family for generations and leave alone?

Whether from a sentimental standpoint or from his own conscience, Yates could not make such a decision.

An hour later, news from Newland Star made Yates completely abandon any lingering hesitation in his heart.

That was a distress signal from the trio.

Beneath the core of the hyperspace invasion lies a monster resembling an industrial robot. This monster is incredibly powerful, capable of taking on three opponents at once and overwhelming them. They are trapped in a metal cage, unable to escape, and are forcibly pushed into the "arena."

Cruzeiro is indeed gone.

We can't retreat, so we can only move forward!

As they halted their assault, the situation for the defending fleet worsened over the next hour due to the bad news. With no threat in sight, the players got carried away and even considered performing a stunt in their spaceships.

"Holy crap, that boss is back again! Damn it, back off!"

Upon seeing Yates emerge again, the player who was frolicking in the starry sea immediately steered the spaceship back.

If I can't beat them, I can at least avoid them.

"A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years!"

This time, Yates paid no attention to the escort ships in the hyperspace; his gaze fell on the Flying Star Ship.

The vehicle of ANR, the master of the transdimensional world.

As a high-ranking officer in the garrison, how could he not know about this situation? He had seen the Flying Star ship on the spaceship's monitoring panel half an hour ago.

"Why is there only one person left?"

Although Anran knew that Ella was fighting against a master-level expert from the garrison, she didn't know that the three people were the same trio who had recently beaten up the Chronosphere frigate here, since the special channel could only transmit voice messages.

"Looks like your vacation is over." Anran looked at Iben with a regretful expression.

Gan.

Where are those people from earlier?

You guys are so arrogant, why don't you come out here!

“How about you give this to me, and I’ll just get a week off,” Ibn said.

An Ran shook her head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to give you a vacation, it's just fate! If you go out now, you can probably stay in hell forever on vacation."

"..."

you sure?

“I’m pretty sure,” Anran said. “I think you’ve misunderstood me. In fact, I never cheat people.”

"..."

Iben found that every time he spoke to Anran, he felt like he was suffering from internal injuries.

At this moment, Yates outside started calling out; he had sent a communication request.

"Tan Tang, connect me."

"Yes."

Soon, Yates' voice came out: "You must be ANR, the ruler of the transdimensional world."

An Ran nodded: "That's right."

"I am Yates, the current temporary commander of the garrison in the Carapace system. Do you dare to come out and fight me?"

Ok?

Anran touched her hair.

If it were before, there might have been some merit to what you said, but now there's no point in arguing about it; the lines are clearly drawn, okay?

“This guy is definitely up to no good,” Ibn said.

"Are you scared?" Yates shouted.

"Heh..." Ibn chuckled, "You're really shameless. You knew ANR was a mechanic, yet you still let her go out and play melee with you. Why don't you try taking two Deep Space Guns?"

Yates remained unmoved: "Do you dare to come? If I lose, I will immediately order all the garrison to surrender, so you won't have to waste any more time wasting your time here with us."

"Shameless scoundrel."

"You shameless bastard!"

Some players who remained on the Flying Starship immediately started complaining.

You think you can bully me just because I'm a mechanic?

An Ran smiled slightly: "As you wish, I hope you won't break your promise."

scare!

Not only were the players on the spaceship taken aback, but Yates himself was also surprised that he actually agreed?

Soon after, An Ran flew out of the flying starship.

I'll show you what cruelty really means!
