Interstellar Survival: Invasion

before we reach our designated position.
During that period, you must rescue the great sovereign.
So long as the great sovereign is saved, all the superweapons will switch sides and stand at your side against the imperial army.
Without the great sovereign, we will have no choice but to obey the empire, ” said Violetvoid.

”Fourteen days to rescue the great sovereign.
Are you going to send us over to Pluto in advance? ” I asked.

”Do you want to go straight to Pluto or return to Blue for help first? I can send you to both locations.
You only need to get into your Sacred Wing friend ’s ship.
I will be in charge of opening the wormhole for you, ” said Violetvoid, giving me a relatively comprehensive plan.

Violetvoid had taken a lot of factors into consideration.
With only the few of us, it would be impossible for us to get through the Midstar Army ’s defensive perimeter.
I needed more help and a stronger military force to complete the mission.

”If I really manage to free the great sovereign, I don ’t need to make the sovereign issue new orders because you guys will be able to fulfill your promise and fight the empire alongside us, right? ” I asked prudently.

”Don ’t worry.
We ’re on the same side.
The pulp worms have long dreamed of returning to our homeland instead of wasting away and dying for the empire, ” said Tiltvoid.

”Young man, eat this. ” Violetvoid suddenly handed me a red object that looked like a biscuit.

I accepted the red biscuit.
After some hesitation, I swallowed it.

”A Blueling ’s body is somewhat weak.
This food will help fill your body with energy for a short period of time.
You will be able to make use of your temporary strength when it matters, ” said Violetvoid, removing the worry in my mind.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that I had eaten something so valuable.

”Take this gun with you as well.
This is an electromagnetic gun fully charged with the power of the worm colony brain.
It will be helpful against enemies, ” said Violetvoid before handing a pistol to me.

After getting two gifts in a row, I suddenly felt like my strength had increased significantly.
I felt even more confident in completing the mission.

Violetvoid said to Tiltvoid, ”Since you ’ll be with Li Canyue, if you ’re lucky enough to meet the great sovereign, you will be in charge of telling the great sovereign our plan.
That way, the great sovereign will not hesitate. ”

”Sure.
Don ’t worry, Grand Commander.
I ’ll complete the mission, ” promised Tiltvoid.

”Good.
I ’ll open a wormhole beside your ship, bringing you straight to the Interstellar League ’s defensive perimeter around Mars.
Good luck.
I ’ll be awaiting the good news from you, ” said Violetvoid.
His body then turned into light and slowly dissipated.

Tiltvoid, who had been standing beside me, also faded.
Only the busy pulp worms and the platform housing them remained in my eyes.
This time, a pink core worm could be clearly seen.
It slowly crawled by me before diving into the pile of worms. 

An agreement had successfully been reached.
I did not waste the limited time I had, and I turned around to leave.
At the door, I saw the others in a defensive position.
However, I also saw Zhang Bao ’er lying on the ground.
My heart thumped nervously as I hurried forward to see what was going on.

”What ’s wrong with Zhang Bao ’er? ” I asked anxiously before I had even stopped running.

”Canyue, you ’re finally back.
You have been gone for 24 hours.
Zhang Bao ’er fell asleep waiting for you, ” said Old Du in excitement upon seeing my safe return.

I was relieved to hear that Zhang Bao ’er had merely fallen asleep from exhaustion.

”Everyone, let ’s set off immediately.
We don ’t have much time, ” I ordered.

”Canyue, you ’re back! Where are we going now? ” asked Zhang Bao ’er, who woke up from my voice.

I glanced at Zhang Bao ’er calmly and said with a decisive tone, ”Home! ”

”Home? Are we returning to Blue immediately? ” asked Zhang Bao ’er, jumping up in excitement.

”No, we ’ll go to Mars first.
The wormhole is ready.
It ’s right beside Markus.
Let ’s move, ” I said confidently while rubbing the electromagnetic gun given to me by Violetvoid.

Following my order, everyone started moving.
Before long, we were back at Markus ’s parking space.
The smart robot and the drill-robot in charge of guarding the area did not pay much attention to us.
It was obvious Violetvoid had protected our disguises well.
We were able to board Markus without any difficulties.

”Dolby, activate the ship ’s defenses.
Markus, look for the wormhole and enter wormhole-leap mode, ” ordered Temo the moment we entered the ship.

After receiving Temo ’s verbal command, Markus turned on and carried out the order.
The entire process proceeded smoothly, to the point we couldn ’t even feel any movement inside the ship.
A few minutes later, the ship turned still, as though the engine itself had stopped running.

”Did we complete the leap already? I couldn ’t feel anything.
This is too incredible, ” said Zhang Bao ’er with disbelief.

”No, our ship is still at the same place.
We have yet to leave Black King, ” said Temo.

At those words, Old Du looked outside and verified Temo ’s words.
Markus was still in the same spot.

”What ’s going on? Why aren ’t we going through the wormhole? ” I asked.

”Dear military official of a planet-level civilization, I have a question for you.
Where is the wormhole you mentioned? ” asked Temo with a dissatisfied tone.
