Chapter 362 The Culprit

"The outer defense system has been shut down, and you can enter."

Outside, in the sky south of the fortress group.

The mecha troops and landing craft accelerated, and the tail engines spewed out dazzling blue light.

Without the anti-aircraft fire network blocking them, the mecha troops and landing craft successfully crossed the outer bridge.

As soon as they entered the fortress group, the mecha troops scattered.

They landed on the city walls one after another, ready to fight.

The landing craft rushed directly to the fortress, attacking their designated targets.

It seemed that a landing craft was about to hit the shield.

At the bow of the boat, a tiny muzzle device suddenly opened.

The next moment, a visible air wave sprayed out.

That was not airflow, but distorted space.

When the landing craft hit the shield, the speed suddenly slowed down.

The shield seemed to have turned into liquid and was successfully passed by the landing craft.

The fortress anti-aircraft fire opened fire.

Several landing craft were hit and exploded in the air.

In the surging flames, white figures rushed out of the flames.

They were soldiers wearing power suits.

Some were free-falling, their bodies spinning in the air like rags.

Some were adjusting their postures.

They were about to fall to the ground.

The small backpack on their backs had blue flames coming out of the nozzles below.

This gave the soldiers power.

The speed of their fall slowed down, and they landed steadily on the ground.

As soon as they landed, they rushed into the fortress.

In various parts of the fortress, landing craft successfully landed on various platforms.

Thousands of soldiers began to invade the fortress.

For a while, the sound of gunfire in the fortress group rang out densely.

Augustus family, main fortress.

"Rebellion? Could it be that woman Evely?"

In the entire family, only the Li Ruiang branch family had the ability to rebel.

Elder Li Ruiang had not returned home for decades, and Evely was the one who managed the family.

There would be no second person except Evely.

And the orbital defense system had no early warning.

In other words, the fleet outside came from the interior of the planet.

"Prince, the elders are here!"

In the hall, before Taylor could even sit down, he received the news that the elders had arrived.

Taylor quickly stood up and left the main seat and walked towards the hall.

Before leaving the stairs, a group of people hurried in.

"They have all broken into my house, Taylor, what's going on?"

Although they are called elders, they don't look old.

The Apocalypse tribe doesn't have the word old either.

Their appearance will be fixed in middle age and will not change until they die.

Taylor bowed his head slightly and said, "It was Evely who rebelled."

"Evely? Is she Li Ruian's wife?"

"Yes, that's her. Elder Li Ruian hasn't returned home for decades. I didn't expect her to have a rebellious heart."

"Then what are you waiting for? Gather the fleets of each branch family and destroy them."

"This..."

Taylor smiled bitterly.

"All the elders, for some reason, the head of the family led the fleets of each branch family to Giant Sword Star. The fleets left behind on Apocalypse Star, the fleets of each branch family combined, are probably only about a hundred warships."

"What? It's so stupid. What kind of enemy can make the Augustus family come out in full force?"

"Benson is a smart man. How could he be so careless?"

"No matter how strong the enemy is, how can it be more important than the stability of the rear base camp? Why would he take such a risk?"

The old people were a little unbelievable.

How could Benson, who is always smart, make a fool of himself at this time.

"Elders, it's too late to say more. The army of Evely, that bitch, has already attacked the fortress. The defenders may not be able to hold out for long. The fortress can be lost, but the elders must be alive. As long as the elders are alive, relying on the connections of the elders in the Apocalypse Clan, it is only a matter of time before Apocalypse Star is recaptured. If the elders die, I'm afraid Evely, that woman, will really get what she wants."

After being reminded by Taylor, the elders came back to their senses.

Yes, if they die, the roots of the Augustus family will really be gone.

"You are right, we have to leave, go underground, Evely that woman may have already controlled the orbital defense system, hide for a while, and leave Apocalypse after the situation stabilizes."

They came and went in a hurry.

The elders didn't care about Taylor's life or death at all, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the backs of the great elders leaving, Taylor's face was gloomy.

He thought of Randolph, that waste.

He didn't expect his mother to hide so deeply.

But Taylor was also confused.

Where did Evely get the courage?

Once her father came back, it would be her death.

If she was a smart person, how could she not understand this?

"Prince, let's go quickly."

The gunshots outside were getting closer and closer.

This made the guards in the hall more nervous.

Taylor came back to his senses.

Now is indeed not the time to think too much, saving his life is the most important thing.

"Go!"

In the hall, Taylor led a group of guards and hurried to the side door.

From the moment the fleet appeared, the outcome of the war was in no doubt.

One side was well prepared, while the other side responded hastily when attacked.

And the enemy they faced was not from outside, but from within.

In the Augustus family, in the fortress of the Li Ruiang branch family.

In the hall, Evely sat in the main seat.

Looking at the holographic screen in front of her.

The above shows the news from all parties.

Everything went smoothly.

The fleet successfully occupied the Augustus family fortress group.

Although the defenders of the elders' fortress are resisting stubbornly, the battle will end soon.

The orbital defense center in the core area was also successfully taken.

The entire Apocalypse is under his control.

Everything went unexpectedly smoothly.

Although there were changes in the military bases of the elders' families.

But they only strengthened the shields and did not go out.

Most of the warships of each family have been sent out to fight with the patriarch.

There are very few warships left in the base. Even if the remaining fleets of several major branches gather together, they are not her opponents.

Besides, Evely will not give them the opportunity to gather.

Once they leave the base, they will be hit by the orbital defense system.

Although the floating turrets on the orbit are used to the outside, they can adjust the direction to attack targets inside the planet.

At this time, Arong walked quickly into the hall.

"Madam, the great elders are here."

Hearing this, Evely's expression slightly changed, and she turned off the holographic screen.

What is coming will always come.

As soon as the words fell, figures flashed outside the door of the hall, and a group of people walked in.

"Evelly, what's going on?"

"Why did the family's warning say that you launched a rebellion?"

"Is this true? Evely, why do you do this?"

As soon as they entered the hall, the elders questioned.

Looking at the great elders in the hall, Evely's face was slightly cold.

She said calmly: "I am protecting myself. My husband "Li Ruiang" has not returned home for more than 30 years. In these years, the family business has been hit hard, and other elder families have benefited. I can endure it for a while, but I won't endure it. Great elders, look around you, look at our Silver Fleet. In recent years, due to financial problems, the Silver Fleet has been disarmed by one-third, and a large number of warships have been sealed. If this continues, one day, the family will be replaced by others, and everything I do is just to avoid the arrival of this day."
