CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 429: CAPTURED

Although I refused the support of the reconnaissance team members, I couldn’t really ignore Xia Huangyu’s situation—as his death would also be troublesome.

After arranging for the team to continue advancing, each Military Academy sent their own mobile team members to check on the situation.

As the leader, Lin Fu couldn’t just abandon all her classmates and leave; her mission was to ensure the safety of the vast majority of the personnel. However, she had Anton go while Ji Xiu stayed behind to assist her.

The battle between Xia Huangyu and his enemies in the sky grew more and more intense, with the red flames flashing in the darkness never stopping.

"Xia Huangyu is in grave danger!" Qin Mo stopped and expressed his concern, "Can’t even Divine-level Mecha secure a victory?"

"Divine-level Mecha are formidable, but they are not invincible. Otherwise, whoever owned one could simply dominate the universe," Su Ye analyzed realistically, "There are many encircling him, and none of them weak. I suspect those traitors from the Royal Starship Academy have teamed up with the prisoners from Helheim Star. Otherwise, with Xia Huangyu’s abilities, they couldn’t suppress him by themselves."

"If Xia Huangyu dies, it’ll be someone else’s turn next."

"That doesn’t necessarily mean Xia Huangyu will die."

The living value of the heir to a Guardian Duke is too great; his death would not only eliminate any utilitarian value but also provoke furious retaliation.

"Those prisoners are smart. They may dare to kill others at will, but they will definitely keep the most valuable people in their hands," Qin Mo felt somewhat reassured.

"What do you think is happening on Capital Star now?"

Su Ye’s question made everyone around fall silent.

"Just thinking about it, you know it can’t be good. The upheaval here is enough to make the already turbulent and tension-filled Capital Star lose control. The Marshal has been trying to balance the various powers for many years, but he is now overwhelmed."

The two lowered their voices significantly for their conversation.

Qin Mo cautiously asked, "Has the discord between the Royal Family and our Guardian Family really gotten this severe?"

Su Ye couldn’t help but chuckle, "How can you ask such a question? That’s not for us to consider. ’Do not concern yourself with matters outside your position’; right now, we are students, and what we should be focusing on is how to survive."

Speaking of which, there was a trace of helplessness in his voice, "The current situation is very complicated—within the Royal Family, the Military Department, the Cabinet, and among the Seven Guardian Families, the disputes are too complex to untangle. I don’t even know who can be trusted and who cannot."

"So, you’re not allowing people to go rescue Xia Huangyu?"

"The other Military Academies won’t go either." What if it is all an act?

Now that the Royal Starship Academy has teamed up with the prisoners, can Xia Huangyu still be trusted?

He is, after all, the top freshman of the Royal Starship Academy, a trump card secretly kept hidden.

Su Ye suddenly thought of something and said jokingly, "Maybe those from Elbert will go. Do you think Lin Fu will?"

"No."

"Why do you say that? She doesn’t seem like such a cold-hearted person."

Mentioning Lin Fu made Qin Mo’s feelings complex, "Just a hunch! Lin Fu gives me the impression of being emotionally driven, but it’s precisely this trait that prevents her from abandoning others just to save Xia Huangyu."

"That’s not being emotionally driven; it’s being calm and objective. To us, the students from our own academy are more important."

"You’re right."

Since Xia Huangyu won’t die, there’s no need to worry.

At the same time, Nolan called Lin Fu on Elbert’s private channel and told her pretty much the same thing he had told Qin Mo, their opinions almost identical.
