"War is in full swing?"

Li Mo frowned, and suddenly felt a little tricky.

Originally, the Skuru Empire was a situation of warlords, and it was easy for them to find gaps in the intertwined situation between various forces.

But now the two forces that formed a clear barrier were not so safe, and the Duke of Brent was still the leader of one of them.

"And that's not all." The captain of the Featherman Guard continued, "Since the civil war was on the verge of breaking out, the Skuru Empire has strengthened the security of the stargates, and all ships entering and leaving the ship will be strictly scrutinized, keeping out the vast majority of cosmic merchants and interstellar mercenaries. ”

"Which side of the Skuru Empire controls the Stargate?" Li Mo shook his head and asked.

"The Church of the Two Gods." The captain of the guard replied, "The Skru Empire is a **** country, and since the fall of their capital star and its royal family, the powerful church has always maintained a neutral attitude, and only took over the stargate. The pure religious members of their canon are not eligible to become emperors, but the royal blood is withering, so the eventual victor among the warlords will take over as pope and unite the Skuru Empire once again. The Skrull Empire had been divided for too long, and at such a critical time, the Church did not want to be disturbed by outsiders. ”

Li Mo instantly understood that the Skrull Empire was currently the oldest empire in the universe, and once unified, Nirvana might be reborn to inspire greater potential.

No one wanted to see this happen, whether it was the thriving Xia Empire, the Kree Empire, or the vigilant Nova Empire, so they all sent a large number of spies to the Skuru Empire to disrupt the situation and prevent unification.

This full-scale civil war was a disaster for the Skrull Empire, but it was also an opportunity for them to re-emerge, which is why the Church made such a move.

To be honest, even Li Mo didn't want to see this happen, because the Skru Empire, which has a strong religious atmosphere, is by no means good, and if they recover, the balance that has been in place for a long time will definitely be broken, and maybe a bigger interstellar war will break out.

After sighing, Li Mo asked, "If we want to enter the empire, what channels are there?" ”

The captain of the feathered guard thought for a moment and replied, "In three days, a warwatch ship of the Galactic Council will enter the Skrull Empire from here, and as you should have a way to board it, but entering the interior of the empire will definitely be under the strictest surveillance. ”

Li Mo pointed his finger at the table and was silent for a while, "That's it, let's discuss it first." ”

"Okay, if you need anything, don't hesitate to mention it." The captain of the feathered people bowed down respectfully.

As soon as he walked out the door, he was greeted by Captain America and the others, who had already installed the universal translator, and left the place with a friendly nod.

Natasha chuckled, "I have long heard that Li Mo has a strong reputation in the universe, but I didn't expect that he actually has a noble status in two huge empires, and it is really a little strange to think of the lazy man who did nothing all day long." ”

"You've only seen the tip of the iceberg, and you'll find out later." Reed sighed, "Let's go in and see what Li Mo can do, I can't wait for a moment." ”

After saying that, he took the lead in pushing open the door of the lounge and walked in, and the others followed.

Unbeknownst to them, the captain of the feathered guard came to his office in two turns, and then entered a confidential communication room and turned on the ultra-long-range quantum communication system.

The three-dimensional image shows an old feather man wearing a gorgeous purple robe, with silver hair and old age spots on his face.

"Your Excellency the Speaker." The captain of the guard bent down, "The interstellar powerhouse Li Mo has arrived here, and he is trying to enter the Skru Empire. ”

The old feathered man pondered for a moment and said, "Don't act rashly, and when they enter, they will immediately leak this news to the inside of the Siku Empire. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." The captain of the feathered guard bent down deeply.

In the lounge, after Li Mo recounted the situation, everyone's hearts were clouded, and the obstacles faced by this rescue would be even greater than imagined.

"Can't board a galactic council ship." Captain America Steve. Rogers said, "This is a secret operation, and it is best to avoid the sights of the Skrull Empire until we rescue the hostages. ”

"Of course I do." Li Mo nodded, "So I plan to take another approach." ”

"What's the solution?" Black Widow Natasha asked, "Hijack a spaceship and sneak in?" ”

"No, it's safer." Li Mo smiled, "We're smuggling!" ”

…

The next day, a small Xi'a Empire-standard spaceship carried Li Mo and them from Starport and flew towards the depths of the universe in the opposite direction of Stargate.

Li Mo sat in the driver's seat, although he hadn't driven the spaceship himself for a long time, and the operating system of the Xi'a Empire was also a unique thinking panel, but with his strong soul and physical fitness, he still drove the spaceship out of a dazzling flight path.

As he approached the orbit of a large traveling planet, Li Mo turned off all his engines and relied on the planet's gravity to glide thousands of meters above the surface of the planet on the other side.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the others, Li Mo explained: "Starport has an extremely powerful detection system on the other side, and the Skrull's quantum wave radar is also very powerful, this operation method can avoid detection for a short time. ”

"So what are we doing here?" Steve asked, looking through the window at the desolate planet's surface.

"Don't worry, it's coming soon."

As soon as Li Mo answered, a large white light appeared in the air nearby, and then, the McQueen, which was more than 1,500 meters long, appeared in front of everyone.

The round hatch at the stern of the McQueen slowly opened, and Li Mo flew in the small spaceship, which was only 20 meters long.

Hundreds of Void Magic Golem Legions had already lined up in the huge tail cabin, all of them had turned off their power sources and stood quietly, two members of the Void Mage Regiment were waiting there.

After disembarking from the small spaceship, two members of the Mage Regiment immediately walked up. One is Rufus, a big-headed mage of the Rriglian clan who is proficient in psychic magic, and the other is Carolde, a former member of the Nova Imperial Academy of Sciences who has a special insight into magic circles.

They nodded respectfully at Li Mo, "Boss, 100 Void Air Regiments and five Void Walkers are already in place. ”

Li Mo nodded, and then said to the people behind him who were already dazzled: "I found that the situation was wrong, I called some of my subordinates over to ensure that at least a small area of encounters can be handled." ”

"Wow." Johannistone, the most lively Thunderbolt, finally couldn't help it, "Are those Gundams, they're so cool!" ”

"It's just some magic golem." Li Mo smiled and shook his head, "In a while, an intelligent robot will take you to your respective rooms, and in about a day and a half, a Skrull merchant ship will pass by, and we will leave when the time comes." ”

At this moment, McQueen's voice suddenly sounded in Li Mo's mind, "Boss, the scan has found that the Xi'a Empire spaceship you are on is equipped with a locator, which is constantly emitting hidden quantum signals. ”

Li Mo's eyes flickered, "Immediately invade the main engine, throw this spaceship out later, and set a remote route." ”

At this time, the others had already gone to their respective rooms under the guidance of the intelligent system, and Li Mo came to the cockpit alone.

Sitting on the wide captain's seat, looking at the virtual starry sky around him, Li Mo thought about it and used the confidential signal channel to connect with Empress Lilandra of the Xi'a Empire.

The spaceship was arranged by the captain of the feather people group in Starport, and someone on it was tampered with, and Li Mo immediately raised his vigilance.

It's not that he's afraid of this little guard captain, but he thinks of the turbulent situation within the Xia Empire. The Xia Empire is currently the most powerful country in the universe, and as a foreign nobleman who has a good relationship with the royal family, he enjoys a lot of conveniences and hopes that this situation can be maintained for a long time.

Although Empress Lilandra in the three-dimensional image still has a cold and tough demeanor, her expression is obviously tired.

After listening to Li Mo's story, Empress Lilandra was not surprised at all, "It's normal, that person should be Speaker Sora's person." ”

"Forgive me for talking too much, are you in a bad situation right now?" Li Mo asked.

Empress Lilandra stared at Li Mo for a while, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, three days ago, a negative wave bomb in the Empire was lost. The parliament made a big fuss about it in an attempt to force me to give up some of my rights. ”

"Negative Wave Bomb!"

Li Mo was taken aback, "How could that thing be lost?" ”

It's not that Li Mo is to blame for making a big fuss, but the consequences of the loss of this thing are too serious.

The reason why the three major interstellar empires have such a status is not only because of their huge military strength and vast territory, but also because they each control the ultimate weapon.

These weapons are the heritage of the empire, they cannot be used lightly, and they have the power to destroy the world, and even wipe out a medium civilization. It's like the role of nuclear weapons in the past for the power of the earth.

Of course, there is more than one such weapon. The negative pole wave bomb is widely known because it was used by the Xia Empire. I've heard they have other final weapons. The Skrull Empire also has a kind of World Shaper, but no one has ever seen what it is.

Speaking of this, Empress Lilandra was obviously not in a good mood either, "There is something strange about the bomb missing, I used to think that Speaker Sola did it, but then I realized that it was not like it. The good thing is that the bomb needs a royal key to set it off, and I've called Lilith back to investigate the matter and found some clues. ”

"That's good." Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If needed, I can provide some insignificant help. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but not necessarily." Empress Lilandra replied, "The foundation of the royal family for hundreds of thousands of years will not be shaken, and the hundreds of millions of troops of the empire are still in my hands. ”

"Those careerists who are carried away by desire will eventually be wiped out into starry dust!"

After the call with Empress Lilandra, Li Mo's mood was not very calm. He had a premonition that the current peaceful situation in this universe would be broken, and judging from the current indications, this time was not too far away.

What does the future hold?

Li Mo sat alone in the captain's seat and pondered, and in the empty cockpit, the dim starlight was shrouded.

A day later, everyone gathered in the cockpit, and the originally empty cockpit automatically floated from the ground to the levitation seats.

A three-dimensional screen in the center of the cockpit shows a fleet of Skrulls passing through nearby orbits.

In the center of the fleet was a three-kilometer-long cigar-shaped commercial transport ship with a large round belly, surrounded by more than two dozen frigates.

"Is that what we're aiming for?" Black Widow Natasha asked, "But how are we going to get in?" ”

"Wait and see." Li Mo said as he unfolded the operation on the circular ball of light in front of the driver's seat, and after pressing a button, the thousand-meter-long McQueen instantly shrank to the size of a fountain pen.

Looking out the window at the scene that had grown dramatically, everyone else had incredible expressions on their faces.

Reed said thoughtfully, "I've heard a rumor that a Ph.D. named Pymhank has invented a Pym particle that has a similar function. But it shouldn't be as advanced as you. ”

Li Mo shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, relying on his senses to drive the McQueen, which was only the size of a pen, towards the Skrull fleet.

Even if the Space Stone is separated, the McQueen's stealth function is still powerful, and these are just ordinary civilian spaceships, so Li Mo and the others are easily attached to the tiny gap of the huge transport ship.

An hour later, the Skrull's merchant fleet finally arrived near the Stargate, which coincided with the opening of the Stargate.

Thousands of kilometers away from the stargate, dozens of fleets, large and small, have already stayed, almost all of which belong to the Skrulls.

It seems that the captain of the feathered guard did not deceive people on this point, and the other races of spaceships docked in Starport had no intention of approaching at all, and they may have been waiting here with the intention of fishing in troubled waters.

Just ten minutes later, the two small neutron stars next to the stargate began to rotate sharply, and the space seemed to be torn apart, and under the constraints of the energy belt, the gravitational waves visible to the naked eye continued to converge towards the center of the stargate.

First, a spiral of light with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers was formed, then a transparent water wave appeared in the ring-shaped stargate like a mirror, and finally the entire center of the stargate suddenly shrank and expanded, and a strange star field appeared.

On the opposite side, you can see a fleet of Skrulls armed to the teeth, and every ship that enters here is subject to their rigorous scanning and inspection. In some cases, people are even sent on board the ship for further searches.

Time passed a little slowly, and an hour later, it was Li Mo's turn to be in the caravan.

As soon as it entered the Stargate, the McQueen broke away from the transport ship and flew into the depths of the starry sky at unparalleled speed.

The Skrrull's military radar was obviously very advanced, but it only picked up a tiny signal and it was fleeting.

"What was that?" A Skuru soldier asked.

"I don't know." The technician in charge of radar scanning scratched his head, "Maybe it's just a fallen part, leave it alone..."
