Ye Tian Is a Traitor?

Ye Tian's wrong decision taught him a bloody lesson. Although his 300 loyal subordinates had land vehicles to provide powerful firepower support, the power of machine guns was not as great compared to weapons with a large area of effect. Moreover, the thousand-strong man-eating clan was not something that these soldiers could deal with.

In a flash, a rain of rocks smashed over. More than 10 land vehicles were actually smashed to the ground by these rocks. And those heavily injured soldiers were grabbed and torn into pieces by the jumping man-eating clansmen before they could land.

Sharp claws dug out the soldiers' hearts, and blood dyed the black carapaces red. The extremely strong man-eating clan warriors could even tear the soldiers in two.

Now, Ye Tian knew that these man-eating clan members had evolved not only in intelligence, but also in strength. He was surprised to find that the weakest of these man-eating clans was actually on the same level as a third-stage warrior.

More than 1,000 third-stage martial artists attacked together. This was a rare sight on the main battlefield of the Horsehead Star Ring and the Orion Star Ring. Furthermore, there were many fourth-stage martial artists mixed in.

"Give the order to retreat. You're wasting lives. An officer like you should be court-martialed…" The observer from the imperial army standing next to Ye Tian couldn't stand it anymore, and began to reprimand Ye Tian.

"We've recorded everything you did today. I believe that Master Cooper will give you a fair verdict. You'd better give the order to retreat immediately. If these 300 soldiers die here, it will only increase your sins…"

The imperial army soldier's threat calmed Ye Tian down a lot. He had been so angry that he had lost his mind. He had no intention of sending his subordinates to their deaths; the orders he had given had been simply caused by his unhappiness.

"Retreat, retreat…"

Unfortunately, it was too late to retreat now. The man-eating clan had already surrounded them. The 300 soldiers had already become candles in the wind. They could only be torn apart one by one.

"Captain, I can't accompany you anymore. I'm sorry…!" A soldier pressed the self-destruct sequence of the land vehicle as he left his last words with a shout.

The violent explosion reminded all the despairing soldiers present of something. They knew that they would rather blow themselves up than become food for the man-eating clan. They did not want to become piles of feces in the stone obelisk forest.

"Captain, avenge us…"

"Send the money I saved to my mother…"

"Ye Tian, hurry up and run! We can't hold them off for long…"

Accompanied by these final words was a series of violent explosions, and the entire battlefield was engulfed in red flames. Ye Tian had already been picked up by the soldier from the imperial army and dragged onto the land vehicle. He didn't care how miserably the captain cried as he started the land vehicle and sped north.

As the land vehicle fled north, a signal entered Ye Tian's terminal, and Cooper's angry voice rang out.

"Ye Tian, f*cking explain to me why the ground-to-moon missiles were activated, and why they were aimed at the exchange area. What else do you have to say? You're a traitor…"

At this point, Cooper didn't wait for Ye Tian's explanation, and shouted at the four imperial guards, "Take him to space and lock him in the cell of Apsara. I want to send him to the military court."

Ye Tian threw caution to the wind, and pointed at Cooper's nose on the screen, shouting, "I don't give a damn what crime you're trying to pin on me. If you want to kill me, then cut the crap. But let me tell you, the 300 soldiers who died in battle were all my old brothers from the front line. They all played with the people from Orion…

"If you're still a f*cking soldier of the empire, immediately order the space warships to fire their cannons and blow up those man-eating clan bastards for me to avenge our brothers…"

Ye Tian roared at the top of his lungs, his voice causing Cooper to gape in shock. He was silent for half a minute before nodding, and saying, "F*ck, although you're a traitor, you're still a good soldier. You know how to avenge your subordinates. Alright, I'll give you face…" The holographic screen went completely black.

Ye Tian knew that Cooper wouldn't lie to him. He turned to look at the southern horizon, his heart filled with grief for his comrades. Cooper didn't make him wait too long. After all, the palace guards were the best of the best. In less than three minutes, the holy white light appeared in the sky again.

This time, the beam of light was brighter, thicker, and more lasting. Ye Tian could tell at a glance that it was from the main cannon of an interstellar assault ship, and its power was way beyond that of an orbital warship.

"Brothers, I've avenged you. Don't go too far, I'll be there soon…" Ye Tian's face was wet with tears.

While Ye Tian was being escorted into space, in a 100-meter-deep underground tunnel under the stone obelisk forest, Wu Chang, who was carrying the princess on his back, was on the verge of going crazy because they were within the range of the ship's cannons. This shot actually caused a small earthquake underground.

Large chunks of volcanic rock fell from the top of the tunnel and hit Princess's back. Although she had the protection of the precious cloak, it was still painful.

Seismic waves had already appeared on the ground. Wu Chang's feet were clearly about to step on the ground, but the ground suddenly sank. Caught off guard, Wu Chang kicked the air and fell to the ground with the princess.

"Aiya, you're hurting me. Can't you see the road properly…" Wu Chang ignored the princess's complaints. He grabbed the princess's hands, and placed her on his back.

"Hurry up and put on your cloak. There's a shelter 400 meters ahead." Without waiting for Ye Mei to answer, he injected the power of Dragon Tiger into his entire body, and used Tiger Break. Wu Chang turned into an afterimage and ran forward.

"Ah!" Ye Mei had never thought that Wu Chang could run so fast. He was so fast that she didn't even have time to put on her cloak. By the time she put on the cloak, Wu Chang had already fled more than 100 meters away.

"Bad guy, you actually took advantage of me," Ye Mei whispered into Wu Chang's ear.

After all, the tremors caused by the ship cannons were not a real earthquake. Although the mine tunnel had suffered varying degrees of damage, there was no destructive damage. When Wu Chang rushed into the shelter with the princess, the tremors had already weakened a lot.

Wu Chang was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, panting heavily. At this moment, Ye Mei was squeezing beside him like a girl next door. She used her cloak to cover the two of them.

"Are you very tired? Are you really very tired? Uncle Cooper can run much faster than you." Ye Mei looked like she had never learned how to comfort people. Her words were infuriating.

Wu Chang was not in the mood to bicker with her. He finished a bottle of pure water in one go and wolfed down an entire bag of jerky. Only then did he recover half of his stamina.

"I'm done resting. Let's continue…" With that, Wu Chang dragged Ye Mei onto his back again, and continued to run forward.

This tripping incident was actually just a small interlude during the journey. However, the two of them did not know that this small interlude had brought great danger to their subsequent plans.

Just as the two of them fell to the ground and the cloak left their bodies, in an ordinary basement in Huang'e City, a few nervous people suddenly exclaimed.

"It's here. It's already here. It's actually underground. It's advancing north…"

A few heads went to the edge of the screen. Looking at the blinking light, they panted excitedly. One of them said, "That's right, that's definitely right. One of them is Wu Chang's terminal's ID. These two must be Wu Chang and the princess."

"This is great. We've finally found these two rats. The spy radar developed by the Orion guys is really useful. Its decryption ability is 30% higher than our radar."

"Boss, what should we do now?"

One of them held his chin and rubbed it hard. His mind was filled with various deductions. After more than 10 minutes, when the two light spots disappeared from the radar, he spoke.

"I've studied the second princess' personality for a full 10 years. She's a crazy girl who takes risks. She's in such a hurry to head north. It's very likely that she's going to break into the prison…"

"Prison break!" The subordinates were dumbfounded. "The princess is going to break into the prison? Whom is she going to break out of it? How is that possible?"

"Haha, you guys didn't expect it, right? Actually, even I didn't expect it. But our second princess likes to do these unexpected things. Otherwise, would the princess be so guarded against her?"

"Alright, cut the crap. Listen to my commands…"

Ye Mei did not know that someone in Huang'e City was plotting against her, and that this person also had top-secret military equipment produced in the Orion Star Ring. It seemed that the net woven by the eldest princess was really big enough, and her determination to kill Ye Mei was also firm.

Just as the unidentified people were preparing, Wu Chang carried Ye Mei on his back, and finally approached the edge of the underground base after a day and two nights of long journey. If they continued forward, they would enter the security perimeter.

"I… I need to rest… for a while…" Wu Chang sat down on the ground and panted heavily. He had run for nearly 500 kilometers in nearly 48 hours. This was already the limit of human physical fitness. Without the support of Dragon Tiger Rush, Wu Chang probably wouldn't even be able to last a third of the way.

Ye Mei knew that Wu Chang was very tired now. She did not disturb him, and only covered the two of them with her cloak. Then, she said in a low voice, "Rest. Leave the rest to me…"

Ye Mei took off the portable terminal on Wu Chang's wrist, and connected it to the exquisite obsidian bracelet on her wrist. When the obsidian bracelet shot out a holographic image, Wu Chang realized that this bracelet was not an ornament. It was also a terminal.

"Don't think that I'm a useless princess. You have to know that when I was studying in Empire University incognito, I was first in the hacker programming competition. It's simply too easy to crack the defense program of such a small military base…"
