CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 447: ARRIVED LATE

"He’s still out rescuing students."

Now, only Nolan could safely and freely move outside. Those with Divine-level Mechas had either disappeared or were captured. Nolan was the sole survivor, thanks largely to the tactics previously arranged that put him in charge of the rear.

When the battle broke out, Lin Fu was at the forefront, drawing all the enemy’s firepower, which inadvertently caused Nolan to be overlooked. With his Divine-level Mecha, he easily overwhelmed many adversaries and perfectly executed the rear guard mission.

Ye Fei called for Nolan on the school’s channel, received his response, asked for the exact coordinates, and informed Horace.

"You’re looking for Nolan because?"

"I need a spaceship, but Clive destroyed the underground base when he left, making the reserves unusable. The Divine-level Mecha can fly out of the atmosphere. It’s no problem for it to travel in space for a while."

"You mean to attack the warship stationed outside Helheim Star’s atmosphere by the organizers of the Newcomers Competition?"

"Exactly. What do you think? Are you courageous enough to pull off a big heist?"

"Let’s do it."

"There’s no reason to hesitate."

So many of them had died, yet the warship of the organizers remained indifferent and even dropped equipment for the prisoners, making them even more contemptible in the students’ eyes.

Then, before they could take action, a battle erupted outside the atmosphere.

Standing inside the small spaceport, they could clearly track the battle process.

A warship, very special in design and resembling a castle, easily took control and assumed command of the organizers’ warship.

It took under ten minutes.

"That’s the symbol of the Eternal City."

As a major thorn in the side of the Empire, there was no soldier or reservist who didn’t recognize that emblem.

"How did the Eternal City get involved too?"

The students were confused by one event after another. The battle was over, and now it seemed everyone, alive or dead, had shown up. Given the relationship between the Eternal City and the Empire, falling into their hands would surely have dire consequences.

The most likely outcome was becoming prisoners of war.

For the proud Military Academy Students, dying would be preferable, as it would at least bring glory to their families.

"Prepare, they’re starting to land."

"Wait!" Horace immediately intervened. "There’s more."

Indeed, another group of warships appeared on the surveillance screen. It was... the Eighth Fleet.

"Fantastic, it’s the Eighth Universe Fleet."

"We’re saved."

"We can finally go home now."

Everyone couldn’t help but cheer, knowing the combat strength of the Eighth Fleet and Major General Fu Xing’s capabilities, the Eternal City couldn’t stand up to them. The castle-designed warship lingered only briefly before initiating a warp jump and departing.

The students were even more ecstatic.

Only Horace, who fell to the ground with a heavy thud, his face ashen.

He was done for; he was as good as dead.

The Major General had personally come to fetch the Lady, but he had lost her.

...

Lin Fu didn’t know how long she had slept; it felt like an eternity, so long that her bones seemed to be rusting. Straining her eyes open, she was met with an unfamiliar ceiling, and the brightness stung her eyes.

She instinctively touched her chest; the Blue Star was gone!

Lin Fu abruptly sat up, her vision darkening momentarily, and it took a while for the dizziness to subside. She looked around frantically but couldn’t find the Purple Moon.

Cold sweat covered her forehead instantly.

"Click!"

The automatic door opened, and a black-haired man walked in. Lin Fu recognized him; he was the one who had stood by, arms crossed, watching while she fought the silver-haired man.
