Chapter 426: Disorder

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Poor Feng Su. Huang Jiming had left in a hurry, and did not seem to consider her situation. Without her mech, she did not know what was happening. However, seeing so many mechs rising into the sky, she knew that something important must have happened. Ye Luo was also in a similar position as her.

The sudden departure of the Three Aces allowed Ye Chong to finally relax. He did not know what had happened, but it had served to defuse the current situation. These three mechs must be the most advanced mechs in the universe, and they left a very deep impression in Ye Chong. He was still awed by the machines. Compared to those three mechs, Han Jia was like a glorified piece of trash. Aside from the skeletal material and engine, Han Jia was surpassed by the three mechs in all respects.

For the first time ever, Ye Chong felt a sense of jealousy. No mech pilot would be exempted from this reaction upon seeing those three mechs.

However, this was obviously not the time to stare into space. Ye Chong took a glance at the fierce looking Congregation experts below, and began to think about how to leave the place.

Feng Su was about to leave when Han Jia, carrying Guardian, swooped down to met Ye Luo and Feng Su. Without time to properly introduce each other, the two mechs carried one person each and went back into the skies.

In fact, Ye Chong had took everyone along a huge turnaround and returned to Flying Moon City. They quietly slipped into Rui Bing's place. When Old Jalopy, Fei Si and the rest saw Ye Chong and Rui Bing, they were pleasantly surprised.

After the initial joy of reunion, Ye Chong quickly asked Ye Luo about the emergency beacon he received.

Ye Luo and Feng Su finally realized what had happened. Both of them paled instantly.

”How's that possible?” Ye Luo looked distressed and in disbelief. ”How's that possible? The military strength at the Gateway is formidable!”

Feng Su was quiet, but also looked like she could not quite believe what had happened.

Seeing the lack of reaction in Ye Chong, Ye Luo explained, ”You probably don't know about this, but the defense in place at the Gateway is very strong. If something happened to the Gateway, the Tribes people in the free space zone will be unable to go back. That's why the Gateway was guarded heavily ever since it was created. Emergency beacons are only released when the situation is very dire. Once the beacon is received, any and all personnel must rush to the Gateway as soon as possible. Heavens! What could possibly have happened?”

Ye Luo's explanation cleared away the mysteriousness of the situation for everyone else not in the know.

”Who did this?” Ye Luo thought hard about it, knitting his brows together. ”Who would have such power? Could it be Gray Valley?” In He Yue Galaxy, the only force that would dare to challenge the prowess of the Three Aristocratic Families is the mysterious Gray Valley.

”Impossible,” Feng Su replied plainly but sure of herself. As everyone looked to her, she continued, ”The Gateway is too narrow, and cannot support large troop deployment. Besides, a great number of combat units are assigned to guard the Gateway, with a huge number of support units nearby. Even if it's Gray Valley, they can't possibly enter the Gateway.”

”That's right. The entrance is so narrow, you can't have large troops going in. How did they arrive here?” Ye Luo agreed upon hearing her analysis.

”Are there other ways to enter the Gateway?” Ye Chong interrupted.

Ye Luo and Feng Su exchanged a glance and replied in unison, ”There are none!”

Ye Luo added, ”To create the Gateway in the first place, the Three Aristocratic Families had each exhausted a huge amount of manpower and resources. The space around the Gateway is unstable, and dangerous to travel. All these years, this area around the Gateway is still largely understudied.”

Feng Su suddenly had a terrible realization. She looked horrified as she said, ”We've forgotten something! The Gateway is too small for large troop mobilization. That means we cannot hope to receive support from He Yue.”

As she finished her sentence, everyone looked even more distressed.

Sensing the growing tension around them, Ye Luo managed a laugh and said, ”Don't worry, our forces in the free space zone are powerful. Besides, the Three Aces are all here. It shouldn't be a problem to secure the Gateway.”

Ye Luo's words comforted them all to a certain degree. It was true that the Three Aces were all here, so there was nothing to worry about. Ye Chong was still pondering on what Ye Luo and Feng Su had both said, and felt that the situation might not be so simple.

He Yue Galaxy was truly plunged into a state of disorder.

News of the attack on the Gateway had reached the Three Aristocratic Families as fast as physically possible. Now, all three families were in a panic! Not only were the Three Aces all in the free space zone, Xue Lai Clan's only son and the Ye Family's son, Ye Luo were also there. Besides, there were many other of their own people in the free space zone. If they really met an unfortunate fate, it would be a loss that the Three Aristocratic Families cannot possibly recover from!

The sudden attack brought about a sense of danger that the Three Aristocratic Families had never felt before.

Emergency rescue efforts were immediately made!

All three Families deployed their military forces in a scale that was unprecedented. All their bases of operations also received orders to operate in their highest alert level.
