1237 Movement in the Endless Abyss
A large Declan Empire military ship jumped out of the other stargate of the Dark Forest Star System and quickly drove into an asteroid belt 17 light-years away from the planet where Chu Nan and the others were without attracting any attention.
At the edge of this asteroid belt, a huge s.p.a.ce base was floating in the empty s.p.a.ce. It had been spinning around the huge star in the center of the star system at an appropriate distance from the asteroid belt.
However, if one spent a period of time seriously observing, they would discover that regardless of whether it was this huge s.p.a.ce base or the asteroid belt beside it, the orbit they circulated was slightly different from the other planets in the star system.
The military ship directly drove into the s.p.a.ce base. After pa.s.sing through the energy shield, it stopped on the bridge of a certain base.
!!A large group of soldiers in the military uniform of the Declan Empire waited solemnly on the bridge. The symbols on the chest and shoulders of the few people standing in front of them displayed their n.o.ble status in the military of the Declan Empire. Any one of them was an impressive figure in the other parts of the empire.
However, now, these important figures were posed meticulously and waited here respectfully. They did not look sideways and focused their gazes on the door of the military ship.
The door of the battleship opened and Prince Lekas took the lead to stride out.
Slap!
Everyone waiting on the bridge raised their right hands in unison and saluted Prince Lekas in unison.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
Prince Lekas glanced at it and waved his hand.
“Alright, this is not the first time I’ve come. There’s no need to put on such a huge show every time. Lucian”
Hearing Prince Lekas mention him, a young Empire officer standing on the right of the front row who looked to be less than 40 years old hurriedly took a step forward.
“Please give me your instructions, Your Highness!”
“Has there been any movement in the Endless Abyss recently?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been normal in the Endless Abyss during this period of time. There are no special circ.u.mstances!” The officer called Lucian replied loudly.
“Yes, that’s right. Continue to watch closely. Those young kids are already here. I don’t want them to encounter any accidents in the endless abyss after a while.”
“Yes!”
Prince Lekas nodded and strode deeper into the base.
The group of people who followed out of the military ship behind him and the group of Empire soldiers waiting on the bridge followed. However, only the oldest and highest-ranking officer of the base, General Cartess, truly followed Prince Lekas and advanced at the same speed from a position slightly behind him.
“Your Highness, there’s actually no need to be so nervous.” General Cartess had an extremely high military rank and status in the Empire’s army. There was no need to be especially respectful and timid in front of Prince Lekas like others. As he followed Prince Lekas’ footsteps, he smiled and said, “Even if something really happened to those kids at the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly, no one will say anything, right?”
“Are you sure?” Prince Lekas suddenly turned to look at General Cartess and sneered, “I’ve already heard many people make sounds these few days.”
General Cartess’s expression changed slightly. He lowered his voice again and frowned, “Because of those royal descendants who accidentally died in the first stage?”
Prince Lekas snorted and did not answer.
General Cartess frowned even more.
“This actually, you can’t blame them for having a problem. After all, the descendants of the royal family who died in an accident for so many years combined are not as many as this time”
“What do those fools know?!” Prince Lekas finally could not help but snort heavily, “It’s all because we’ve lived comfortably for too long that we’ve forgotten why our Declan royal family obtained our current status!”
Since it involved the royal family, it was not convenient for General Cartess to comment. He could only remain silent.
However, Prince Lekas clearly only took the opportunity to vent and did not have the intention to complain much to someone other than the royal family like General Cartess. Soon, he took the initiative to change the topic.
“There’s no movement in the endless abyss, but what about the other side? Is there any movement?”
General Cartess slowly shook his head.
“There’s no movement for the time being. After all, we just fought. It will take those guys some time to organize enough people again. However”
General Cartess paused for a moment and continued, “We don’t have the ability to completely clean up the other party’s residue in the endless abyss. I’m worried that if any special guy is left behind and happens to be encountered by those partic.i.p.ants, an unexpected situation might happen.”
“This is a risk these kids need to take in the first place. If they encounter it, so be it. If they can survive, it’s enough to prove their strength. If they can’t, they can only die.”
Looking at the cold Prince Lekas, General Cartess could not help but shake his head lightly.
If Prince Lekas was really as cold and heartless as he appeared, he would not have complained in front of him previously.
However, he was naturally not interested in doubting Prince Lekas’s words. He still followed beside him and began to talk about things related to the base.
Bang!
Henrik and Chu Nan exchanged a palm strike and retreated.
Seeing Chu Nan’s body sway before he stood up again, Henrik waved his fists proudly.
“Heh, Chu Nan, how is it? My Hercules Palm is reputed to be one of the top ten palm techniques of the federation. Is it powerful enough?”
Chu Nan smiled.
The Hercules Strength Palm that Henrik spoke of was indeed one of the top ten palm techniques in the federation and was extremely famous, but it was only an A-rank cultivation method. Coupled with the fact that Henrik’s use of this method had not reached the limit, coupled with the eruption of his Internal Breath, the power he could unleash could only be considered pa.s.sable, but it was far from outstanding.
Chu Nan’s mind spun with the moves and Internal Breath changes in every palm when he fought with Henrik. He quickly created a real-time cultivation method model in his powerful brain and quickly a.n.a.lyzed it.
Seeing that Chu Nan was silent, Henrik thought that he had been stumped and could not help but feel even more proud. He even snorted at him and his voice revealed a trace of disdain.
‘This arrogant guy, it’s one thing for you to say that you’re stronger than me and Nowell, but we have no choice but to deny this.’
‘However, you actually said that there’s a way to improve our martial techniques by guiding us and clearly increasing our strength in a short period of time. That’s too arrogant!’
