After a while, Kuba came out with a very ugly look.

He didn't say much, and Yang Yi didn't ask much. His expression already showed that the Divine Breath Star Emperor was dead, otherwise he would not be so sad and lonely.

In addition, Kuba also brought luggage, a space storage to be exact.

Before leaving, Kuba also activates a small Primal Converter and destroys the castle by causing it to self-destruct.

When Yang Yi and the others returned to the palace, Jackson was still waiting.

After briefly explaining the situation, Yang Yi asked Jackson to go to Curia and asked Kuria to prepare. Although Lin Feng was a little uneasy, or reluctant, Yang Yi still let Kuba and Xiaofeng stay in the palace, but he didn't give Xiaofeng's holy weapon to the Divine Breath Star Emperor.

didn't bring Kuba and Xiaofeng, just because Yang Yi hadn't told the Star Soul Empress about secretly supporting Curia.

Obviously, just bringing Kuba and Xiaofeng to the Star Soul Empress, even if Yang Yi can explain, it may cause the Star Soul Empress to misunderstand.

After the arrangement, Yang Yi and Lin Feng left the palace.

Both have royal-class fighters, so returning to the fortress is not a hassle.

It's just that in order to avoid misunderstanding, and also to figure out the current situation, Yang Yi and Lin Feng did not directly return to the fortress through space jumping, but went to the star system where Shen Chengwen was.

After the arrival of the main army of the Weaver Star Clan, because the Star Soul Empress took over the fortress on the grounds of Yang Yi's absence, although Shen Chengwen was very unconvinced, but in order to avoid conflict, he left the fortress with the special investigation team. With him left, there was an even more unpopular Barnes.

Fortunately, when Yang Yi and Lin Feng arrived, Barnes was not there.

"No matter how you look at it, this is the situation we are facing." Shen Cheng sighed. said, "It's not just me, many people feel that the Star Soul Empress seems to be a different person, and she is not as polite as before. If nothing else, even if you're not there, there's no reason for her to take over the fortress. Anyway. The main force of the expeditionary force has arrived, and even if the troops are not large, it is more than enough to defend and operate the fortress. Besides, the main army of the Weaver Clan is here to attack the city, and compared to the entire North Alpha system, the number of troops is not much, so there is no reason to divide a part to defend the fortress. For this matter, I approached Otis in the hope that she would talk to the Star Soul Empress. What a thought. Otis didn't even meet me. To tell the truth, if I had followed my temper, I would have withdrawn with the expeditionary force a long time ago. ”

Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile, a little speechless at Shen Chengwen's words, but he didn't say much.

"It's good that you're finally back." Shen Chengwen smiled reluctantly and said, "The brothers are all here. Yuyang also made arrangements. My opinion is that if you can't communicate with the Star Soul Empress. Or the communication results are not satisfactory, and we simply withdraw it. We've completed our mission and helped the main Legion of the Starweavers capture the bridgehead. Although it is also good for us to continue to attack, but the Star Soul Empress wants to go it alone, so let her do it alone. If you're not sure, we can focus on the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. Just get your ground in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. We can attack, retreat and defend, it's better than spending here. ”

"Yuyang also sees it this way?" Lin Feng asked.

Shen Chengwen nodded and said, "It's not that we don't want to contribute now, it's that the Star Soul Empress didn't give us a chance to contribute." ”

"And then?"

Hearing Yang Yi speak, Shen Cheng was slightly stunned. Then he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Besides, it's easy to withdraw, but it's probably not so easy to come back in the future." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "Why the Star Soul Empress did this, I can't make a conclusion yet. However, I can say with certainty that if we retreat at this time, then no matter what happens next, we will not be able to return to the battlefield, and we will even break with the Weavers. ”

"What does that matter, isn't ......?"

Yang Yi pressed his hand and said, "Although we didn't expect to be able to get out of the predicament with the help of the Weaver Star Clan, do you think it's time now?" ”

Shen Chengwen gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.

"And, what if we withdraw now, what will happen to Curia? Obviously, even if we are lucky, I am afraid that we will not meet a second Kuria in the future. This means that all our previous efforts have been in vain, which is tantamount to giving up hope. ”

Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then sighed.

"Now, we are not only supporting a top war king, but a war king."

Shen Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yang Yi in disbelief.

"Of course, it's a war emperor who hasn't reached adulthood yet." Yang Yi smiled faintly and explained the situation roughly. "If Kuria is not qualified to dominate the Silicon Charm Alliance and cannot bring us real peace, then this Emperor of War will definitely be able to bring us permanent peace one day in the future. The premise is that we have to support her and make her the real and even the only Emperor of War. ”

"Brother Yang, I heard you right?"

"Of course not."

Shen Cheng let out a sigh when he heard it. "If that's the case, not only will we not be able to withdraw, but we will also have to take back the control of the war from the Star Soul Empress."

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "That's true, but we don't have to think about the situation so badly for the time being." ”

"What could be worse?"

"It's not worse, it's that we're thinking too badly." Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "From what I have learned, everything the Star Soul Empress did was only because I did not command the expeditionary force in the fortress, and the presence of Barnes made her a concern. Obviously, the Star Soul Empress has reservations until she sees me, so she won't trust anyone else, including you, easily. If you were the Star Soul Empress and saw Prince Cardozo of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the commander of the expeditionary force was not there, how would you feel? ”

"How can you feel about it?"

Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Aren't you a little worried?" For example, I'm done as the commander, and Barnes is the master. ”

"How is that possible!"

"Of course it seems impossible to you, but in the eyes of the Star Soul Empress, it is indeed possible. Even if she only has such concerns, she will take precautions, such as immediately capturing and controlling the fortress that is crucial for the main army of the Weaver Clan, ensuring that in any case, the main army of the Weaver Clan will not have any worries, at least if the situation changes, it can be withdrawn smoothly. From another point of view, the Star Soul Empress only let the main army of the Weaver Clan take over the fortress, and did not expel the expeditionary force, indicating that she still has reservations, at least a glimmer of hope. Yang Yi paused slightly, and then said, "As long as I go back, these problems will definitely be solved." ”

"So, we need to go back quickly."

"There's no hurry, I'll have to go back sooner or later anyway." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Old Shen, do you think we should tell the Star Soul Empress about Curia?" ”

Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then tightened his brows.

Obviously, this is a difficult question to answer.

After pondering for a while, Shen Cheng said: "The key depends on you, that is, whether you can trust the Star Soul Empress, and whether you are sure enough about the relationship with the Star Soul Empress." In the grand scheme of things, we secretly supported Kuria without informing the Star Soul Empress in advance, which is tantamount to excluding the Star Weavers from our plans. Obviously, standing in the position of the Star Soul Empress, she would definitely not be able to accept it after knowing this, and would even think that she had been betrayed. Even if she takes the overall situation into account and doesn't make a fuss about it, it will inevitably affect your relationship. Obviously, if your relationship with the Star Soul Empress is not strong enough, then this incident is enough to cause us to break with the Star Weavers once and for all. ”

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood what Shen Chengwen meant.

"It's just that, on a small scale, it's nothing. As long as the Star Soul Empress trusts you enough, she will understand your troubles. Either way, she's the Empress of the Heights, and she's long since appointed you to handle the expedition. Even if you don't tell her in time, there are more than enough reasons. Besides, as long as she still trusts you, then she will think that you are doing it for her sake. To put it simply, if you accidentally leak the news, it is only you who is responsible for the black cauldron, and the Star Soul Empress does not know at all, so she will not be implicated. When the time comes, she will be able to come forward to help you round the field. On the other hand, if she had known it a long time ago, she would have had an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Yang Yi nodded again, but was still bowing his head in contemplation.

"It's useless for me to say it, it depends on whether you understand her, whether you are sure enough to make her believe that you are doing this for her."

Shen Cheng heard that he wanted to continue, but Lin Feng shook his head at him, saying that it was enough, don't disturb Yang Yi.

After pondering for a while, Yang Yi sighed, raised his head and said to Shen Chengwen: "Where did Barnes go, and when will he come back?" ”

"Patrolling the perimeter, if it weren't for the fact that he was waiting for you to come back, he would have been gone long ago. Of course, you can call him back at any time if you need to. ”

"Wait for me?"

"He's here to assist you, not the expeditionary force. Besides, he's Princess Siga's older brother, and he has some personal relationship with you. Shen Chengwen smiled reluctantly and said, "It can be said that the arrival of the main army of the Weaver Star Clan has a greater impact on him. In other words, there is no point in him staying without your words. Of course, that guy is also a tendon, so it's okay to be appeased. ”

Yang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not refute Shen Chengwen's point of view.

In fact, after getting along with Barnes for a while, Yang Yi had already discovered that this guy was just a tendon, not only could he not hide things in his heart, but he also had no small calculations, which was completely different from the Heavenly Saint Emperor. Yang Yi sometimes even felt that Barnes might not be the son of the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

Obviously, if Barnes is just getting emotional, there's really nothing to worry about. In Yang Yi's view, all Barnes needs is a position that can prove his worth, an identity that allows him to play a role, and this is also the key to his following Yang Yi's expedition. (To be continued.) )
