In the summer of 717 in the new ephemeris, the second quadrant of the Milky Way.

There are flickering light spots in the dark universe, and in the silence, thousands of asteroids float silently and quietly.

The originally bustling and active asteroid belt was dead silent, and the waterways extending in all directions have been completely cut off.

The empire has issued an emergency no-flight order, and any starship that is not a military department takes off will be regarded as an enemy of the empire and sunk.

Sporadic fires lit up from time to time, and no sound could be heard from a long distance, but the smell of gunpowder wafted far away.

There is a tense atmosphere throughout the asteroid belt.

The recognized lawless place in the galaxy is the main battleground between Imperial warships and rebel forces.

Under the flames of war for three full months, the underground world of the asteroid belt has completely fallen into silence.No villain, criminal, or smuggler, no matter how daring, dared to continue their activities under the fire of Imperial warships and risk their lives.

The door of the Red Town Tavern was closed, with a closed sign hanging on it. In the collection room of the tavern, only the red-haired owner Wood and the blond Dr. Leiber were sitting opposite each other.

Their expressions were equally dignified.

Leibel checked the equipment for Wood one last time, and stuffed him with a portable medicine box: "All first aid medicines are in it, don't lose it."

Wood took it, pressed it into the tattoo on his left arm, and grinned at the blond doctor: "Baby, what you gave me—how could I lose it?"

Leibel pursed his lips tightly, his light gray pupils were indifferent, he ignored the red-haired man's teasing, just took a step forward silently, and gave him a deep hug.

The two embraced for a brief moment, and exchanged a shallow kiss when they separated.

Very light, but very solemn, like a silent promise.

There is no farewell, because the Tingyuan Army has always firmly believed that its comrades will return.

They looked at each other, smiled and said the eight words they knew by heart at the same time.

"Tingyuan Nine Stars, I wish you good luck."

……

……

"—clang."

The door of the Red Town Tavern closed behind with a heavy muffled sound.

Wood took a deep breath and ran quickly towards the sunset.

The imperial warship passed slowly above his head, casting a huge shadow.

A small group of starships descended silently and headed towards the hunting ground.

The sound of fierce fighting soon came from afar from that direction.

The corner of the red-haired man's mouth curled up into a sharp smile, he jumped high and landed in the hunting ground full of war.

"Om-"

A moment later, a small one-person starship quietly rose under the cover of night, entered the vast universe from the back of the hunting ground, and disappeared among the gunfire surrounded by gunpowder.

"boom--"

In the quiet asteroid belt, the huge imperial army fleet slowly drives between the planets, like a lion king patrolling the territory, watching the territory under his feet vigilantly.

From time to time, starships left the queue and headed to various parts of the asteroid belt, bursting out with brief flames and explosions, and then returning to the fleet covered in gunpowder and smoke.

Three months ago, the prince of the empire led the Fifth Legion into the lower four districts to suppress the rebellion. Within a month, they drove the rebels out of the airspace of the four districts, and entered a confrontation in the outer asteroid belt.

After leaving the airspace inhabited by civilians, the offensive of the imperial army suddenly became fierce, and the rebels quickly retreated steadily, fleeing into the asteroid belt and fleeing in all directions.

During the past two months, the Fifth Legion patrolled the asteroid belt day and night, searching for the rebels one by one, and wanted to intercept and kill them in the second quadrant to ensure that no sparks of resurgence were left behind.

In the center of the imperial fleet, in the heavily protected command ship, the blond prince was dozing off with half-closed eyes.

He has not had a full night's sleep for many days in a row, and has been guarding the command room, eating and living with his subordinates, staring at the outer battlefield with perfect precision.

This was the last inspection, and it was also the most intensive cleaning operation. Li Jinshen needed to make sure that they did not miss anything.

He is also waiting for some news to be conveyed.

The command room was quiet, and the subordinates had quietly retreated, unwilling to disturb the commander's rare sleep.

After this battle, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Empire has undoubtedly won the loyalty of the entire Fifth Army.

Li Jinshen leaned halfway in the high-backed chair behind him, but he was thinking about the whole process of the rebellion.

The defeat of the rebel army was too sudden, and he always felt that it was not that simple.

The blond prince closed his eyes slightly, and began to review the video in his memories.

Half a year ago, there was a conflict between a genderless person and a gifted person in District No.12. During the conflict, the gifted person lost control of his strength, causing the genderless person to die on the spot. However, the gifted person only received a verbal warning afterwards and paid for the medical treatment. Fei, the matter was dismissed hastily.

This caused an uproar in the Lower Fourth District.

Thousands of genderless people took to the streets to demonstrate, protesting against the privileges of gifted people and the unequal treatment of genderless people, and angrily denouncing the inaction of the regional government/government. In just one week, the demonstrations went from No. .12 district outbreak, gradually spread in the lower four districts.

The local government/government didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that it was another meaningless rights defense movement launched by agender people. It was only a symbolic public statement to appease, and then allowed the demonstrations to continue without any intervention .

This kind of rights protection movement will appear every few years, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

In the final analysis, the source of all inequality comes from alienation. If this disease cannot be solved, the number of genderless people in the lower four districts will continue to rise, and eventually the entire lower four districts will completely degenerate into the state of the ancient earth period. The theory of inequality is naturally out of the question.

The Lower Four Districts have long been synonymous with the Empire's "backwardness, barbarism, and inferiority." Whether it is the other regions or the Lower Four Districts themselves, they all believe that it is only a matter of time before the Lower Four Districts are completely abandoned by the Empire.

But no one thought that this demonstration was just the beginning.

When a month later, the scope of the demonstrations expanded to one-third of the entire Lower Fourth District, and nearly [-]% of the people participated in the strike, the government finally realized that something was wrong.

By this time it was too late.

When the rapes of small stocks in the fourth district began to happen, the local security department had no time to respond——

Within a week, violence escalated into attacks and then unrest.

Nearly [-]% of the region fell into chaos.

It was only at this time that the lower four districts came to their senses, and hurriedly sent a request to Emperor Star for help, asking the military to send troops to suppress it.

Because they have discovered at this time that even weapons and starships belonging to the military department appeared in the turmoil——

This is clearly an organized and premeditated rebellion!

……

……

When the news reached Emperor Star, Li Jinshen was attending the graduation ceremony of the Royal Military Academy.

As the well-deserved first in this class, he was invited to give a speech as a graduate representative.

Three years later, the young His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked more mature and stable, and was more respected by the younger generation, but relatively, his aura was even stronger than before.

When Li Jin lowered his face and looked over expressionlessly, almost no one dared to question any of his decisions face to face.

The entire upper echelon of Emperor Star could clearly feel this change, and the nobles and officials who had been on the sidelines also began to make choices one after another.

When Li Jinshen got more and more involved in the political and military affairs of the empire, he could clearly feel that more officials began to show kindness to him, while the temptation and friendship from the nobles became more subtle and cautious, full of Complicated exchange of interests and intrigues.

Li Jinshen seemed exceptionally comfortable with this.

After experiencing memory recall in the fog lock of the crimson star field, he gained all the experience from another self.

After showing his strength, scheming and wrist a little bit, Li Jinshen undoubtedly won the support of most of the nobles.

The dispute between him and the queen has once again come under the table, and the two have clearly reached the point where they cannot tolerate each other, but on the surface it seems to be more peaceful and stable.

This kind of demeanor without showing emotions and anger and the perfect resolution in several conflicts made Dixing's eyes look at Li Jinshen more fiery and full of expectation.

The prestige of the young prince of the empire is getting stronger and stronger, and he has begun to assume the great power of an emperor, gradually showing his own edge.

This young prince is bound to make a fine king.

Everyone is convinced of this.

……

……

In the auditorium of the Royal Military Academy, Li Jin read the speech in a deep voice, with a calm face, but her heart had already flown elsewhere.

The arena was full of dense crowds of heads, and the military students looked at the handsome figure of His Highness the Crown Prince with excitement and admiration on their faces.

The graduation ceremony of the Imperial Military Academy next door was being held at the same time, and the chairman of the student union of the Imperial Military Academy also graduated in the same class, and the students watching the ceremony must have filled the arena.

But among those people wearing black school uniforms, the silver-haired boy they all wanted to see was the only one missing.

Three full years have passed since the opening of the crimson star field competition.

Ye Zhibo also disappeared for three years.

Since falling behind that gate, Li Jinshen has never been able to contact Ye Zhibo again.

The communicator was canceled, and the star network ID found no such person, and the silver-haired boy seemed to have evaporated from the world, completely disappearing from this world.

The empire did not put him on the death list, but all those who knew it agreed that it was impossible for Ye Zhibo to survive.

Falling into the territory of Lord Undercurrent for three years, unless a miracle happens, it is impossible for any human being to come back alive.

Li Jinshen always believed that Ye Zhibo was still alive.

He has always used Ye Zhibo's SSS-level Alpha status as a reason for his external statements, but there is only one real reason——

Because of the incomplete connection between them.

The original mark was not complete, and the connection between the two was not strong.Under the long distance, Li Jinshen couldn't perceive any of Ye Zhibo's situation, but could only vaguely perceive that the silver-haired boy was still alive.

As long as there is life, there is hope.

He knew that Ye Zhibo would never disappoint.

……

……

"...As soldiers of the empire, we should regard the honor of the empire as the only criterion, and dedicate everything to the empire until the end of our lives.

"Everyone here, I hope that after a hundred years, when we are buried underground, we will still meet again on the pillar of the empire's meritorious service.

"In the history of the Xiadeng Empire, you and I will leave behind a brilliant stroke."

The blond prince spoke in a low voice under the eyes of everyone. He looked down and saw young faces full of hope and vitality.

There is fire in their hearts and light in their eyes.

Li Jinshen paused slightly, showing a shallow smile.

He solemnly said: "May the glory of the empire be with you and me."

……

……

Amidst thunderous applause, Li Jinshen left the stage and walked into the curtain behind him.

He raised his hand to look at the vibrating communicator on his wrist, and saw dozens of messages lying in the inbox.

Li Jinshen started to read from the end, and when he saw a certain piece of information, his dark green pupils suddenly stirred up waves, and his face became more serious.

Anonymous://A rebellion broke out in the Lower Fourth District, suspected to be related to the Thirteenth Special Zone.

Dark Star://The asteroid belt in the ninth sector, find a time to meet and talk.

……

……

At the top of the inbox, there are two letters marked in red.

One was an order from his father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Xiadeng Empire.

Father://Take your people to fight the rebellion in the lower four districts, don't let me down.

There is also a letter from His Excellency the Marshal.

Qiushuang Sui://The fifth legion has been reorganized and is waiting for His Royal Highness at the transition point of the first quadrant.I wish you a prosperous martial arts.

Li Jin was silent for a while, then took a last look at the lively auditorium, turned and left.

The lower fourth district is where Ye Zhibo was born.

It's where the two of them first met.

It is also the closest place to Shen Xinghai in the third quadrant.

The blond prince's expression was cold, but there was a slight light in his eyes.

He had a hunch that during this expedition, he might get news about Ye Zhibo.

At least when I get closer to Ye Zhibo, the connection between them will be more stable.

Li Jinshen's steps were heavy and steady.

Those dark green pupils were like a quiet blue lake, with slight ripples, as bright as the reflection of starlight.

He will take his sword, put on his armor, and go to battle.

Go in the direction of the one you love.

Miss him, feel him.

—and find him. *****

"Desolate Star E4-C902 has an energy response, and an unknown signal source is trying to connect. Do you accept it?"

A cold female voice suddenly sounded in the huge command room, and Li Jinshen's intellectual brain, Sharma, materialized from the void and stood behind the blond prince.

Li Jinshen opened his eyes suddenly.

A slight smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Accept the communication."

"—The communication is being connected, please wait."

"Di-"

A few seconds later, a snowflake-like flow of information flashed across the light screen, and a figure appeared, gradually becoming clear from blur.

The figure put his hands on his chest and saluted respectfully to the blond prince.

"Those who are silent in the Linyuan plan, pay tribute to His Highness."

That was obviously the subordinate who lurked into the asteroid belt under the attack of Li Jinshen's visit to the Lower Fourth District five years ago!

The blond prince responded softly: "I salute you."

The figure in the light screen trembled slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Time is running out, I may be discovered at any time."

"Your Highness, during the five years of lurking, this subordinate was fortunate enough to survive—"

Under Li Jinshen's lightning-like gaze, he said in a deep voice.

"We have found information about the Scarlet Shenwu Peak incident."

The author has something to say: there is another update tonight~
