132: Chapter 132 Long Live the Human Alliance

"Come to think of it, this is the first time Mu Xue and Liu Ziyi have met, isn't it?" Lin Heng thought as he looked at the content on the simulator.

"Yes, General Mu Xue, I have often heard Lin Heng mention you over these years." Liu Ziyi's eyes curved slightly into a smile as she took the lollipop from Mu Xue's hand.

"Is that so?" Mu Xue looked at you, revealing an inscrutable smile.

What did that smile mean?

Although you consider yourself to have mastered a great deal of knowledge, you still do not understand women's hearts well enough.

You often cannot guess Liu Ziyi's thoughts.

You cannot guess Mu Xue's current expression either.

As for anyone saying that Mu Xue has romantic feelings for you.

That is impossible; you are very clear that the simulator is just a simulator and cannot be brought into reality. You cannot let Prisoner 6's relationship cause you to have preconceived notions about Mu Xue.

You have only met her twice—once to deliver a secret order, and once to request her support.

Furthermore, Mu Xue is no longer a young girl in her teens or twenties.

She is now the supreme commander of the Federation's Third Fleet.

"The Human Alliance Party is currently divided into two main factions." Mu Xue said this, turning her head away without looking at you.

She looked at the stars passing by outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the ship and spoke slowly: "Although I helped you eliminate the threats from the military side, I am powerless regarding the party side."

You slowly walked over and stood side-by-side with her, while Liu Ziyi followed Ensign Li Quan and retreated to the side.

"It doesn't matter." You said calmly.

Mu Xue's eyes reflected the entire sea of stars; red and white light converged in her eyes, and countless planetary fragments scattered across the starry sky, seemingly connecting into a ribbon.

"The Human Alliance Party has changed a lot over these ten years; it might be beyond your expectations." The lollipop in Mu Xue's mouth shifted a few times: "Although ten years is a long time, I feel it will take some effort for you to take control of the entire Human Alliance Party."

Your fingertips grazed the ship's glass, making a "tss-tss" sound: "Beyond expectations?"

Your gaze was on the glass, but the reflection in your eyes was of Mu Xue on the glass.

You smelled a sour scent in the air, which must have been the lollipop in Mu Xue's mouth.

"Are you talking about General Cui Li?" You looked at the reflection in the glass window and said calmly; the Mu Xue in the reflection was wearing a Federation military officer's uniform, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"I am not talking about him. The Human Alliance Party has had some disagreements over the past two years, and now it lacks someone to preside over the overall situation. Besides General Cui Li, there is also a young man." Mu Xue looked at you and said: "How should I put it, the Human Alliance Party is quite chaotic right now."

"What, is it going to split?" You said.

Mu Xue thought for a long time, then took the lollipop out of her mouth and spun it twice in her hand.

It was a yellow candy; your gaze followed her candy as it spun a few times, the candy gleaming with a crystalline white light.

Mu Xue said: "It is indeed a split; that young man even demanded that the party completely sever ties with you."

"Are you saying his influence can now rival General Cui Li's?" You said.

"The information I have is indeed that way, but I don't know the specific details within your Human Alliance Party." Mu Xue said: "Wouldn't it be better to go ask that guy named Noke?"

"No, this is enough." You said.

General Cui Li was the person you left behind to handle the internal affairs of the Human Alliance Party, while Noke handled military affairs together with Mu Xue.

You now felt a strong interest in the young man Mu Xue mentioned; you must know that General Cui Li was an old-timer who joined before the Human Alliance Party even changed its name, and his status within the Human Alliance Party was extremely high.

To think he could actually be suppressed by a young man now.

"What is that young man's name?" You asked with a serious expression.

Mu Xue looked at you: "His name is Chen Qing."

After a pause, she continued: "You don't seem surprised at all."

"No, actually, I am quite surprised." You said.

Mu Xue looked at you for a long time, and finally said an irrelevant remark: "Your little girlfriend is very pretty; she is a very nice girl."

You did not understand what she meant by this; she was no longer looking at you, but instead continued to look at the scenery constantly passing by outside the window.

Human Federation, Imperial Star.

When you arrived at the Imperial Star, you did not go directly to the headquarters of the Human Alliance Party; instead, you took Liu Ziyi around the Imperial Star for a long time.

"This is my first time coming to the Imperial Star." Liu Ziyi said this while looking at the massive planet.

"If you had come two thousand years ago, you would have seen an even more beautiful Imperial Star." Your gaze swept across the creatures flying past in the sky; they were three Beast Race members.

They might have come to the Imperial Star to do business, or perhaps they were settling down here.

Most of those flying in the sky were Alien Races, with only a small number of the Human Race.

In the past, flying was completely prohibited on the Imperial Star, but ever since the signing of the Starry Sky Treaty, many Alien Races came to the Imperial Star. They did not comply with this regulation, so there was no choice but to cancel the no-fly regulation.

"I feel like you are in a bad mood, Lin Heng." Liu Ziyi said while looking at you.

"No... I am not. Oh right, I will take you to a place." You said to Noke, who had been following you: "Let's go there."

For the past few days, Noke had been following by your side, acting in the capacity of an attendant. He hoped you would quickly return to preside over the overall situation within the party, but you kept telling him to wait a bit longer.

Although Noke did not understand your actions, he still chose to trust your judgment.

You arrived in front of a villa.

You pushed open the door and led Liu Ziyi inside, holding her hand.

"From now on, this will be our home on the Imperial Star." You said.

Liu Ziyi quickly walked around the villa and came back to hold your hand: "I like it very much."

Her voice was faint, and the corners of her eyes curved.

You did not speak.

The next day, you took Liu Ziyi to the headquarters of the Human Alliance Party.

When Noke helped you push open the headquarters' main door, a meeting was underway inside, and the members were clearly divided into two sides.

You recognized the leader of one side as General Cui Li, and the other side was a young man who should be the Chen Qing that Mu Xue mentioned; he was a very delicate-looking young man.

The flag of your Human Alliance Party hung between the two groups of people.

The originally noisy sounds stopped immediately after Noke pushed the door open.

You held Liu Ziyi's hand and walked slowly between the two groups of people toward the party flag in front.

Everyone watched you intently; only silence remained in the air.

"General Cui Li."

Your voice was not heavy, but the other party was startled.

You stared at him, but he did not quite dare to look into your eyes.

To be honest, he was not a very capable person; choosing him to manage internal party affairs was due to his seniority on one hand, and his loyalty to the Human Alliance Party on the other.

"The party affairs have been managed quite well." You looked him over and left only this sentence.

"Yes." He did not dare to look at you, his voice very soft.

You looked at the young man on the side, Chen Qing.

"This must be Mr. Chen Qing, right?"

He had originally been confronting General Cui Li aggressively and kept talking about the topic of you leaving the party, but after seeing you, his arrogance visibly weakened.

At this moment, seeing you mention him, he appeared exceptionally tense, his throat moving twice.

"Well done." You smiled as you looked at him.

He did not understand the meaning of your words, but you did not explain it to him either.

"Noke, help me look after Ziyi."

"Yes."

You walked quickly to beneath the party flag; in an instant, several elders who were handling affairs on the side all stood up.

"Sit, sit." You said.

You stood in front of the Human Alliance Party flag, swept your gaze over everyone, and said: "Everyone, the purpose of this meeting is that I am going to lead the Human Alliance Party again. We must unite, and I hope you can support me."

"This time, we will use legal means to take control of the parliament, and then dissolve the parliament."

"Our main goal now is to win the election." You said.

"We must recruit all those veterans who were dismissed because of the treaty, and they must all act according to my orders."

"Furthermore, from today on, my personal safety will be entirely the responsibility of the Guard Regiment, which I will requisition directly from General Mu Xue."

"Then..." A man wearing a military uniform on the side spoke up.

You interrupted him just as he began to speak.

"No, not you; the Guard Regiment will be the responsibility of this Mr. Ensign Li Quan." You said.

"But Your Highness..." The man looked at you, wanting to say something.

You looked at him and said: "Help me pass a message back to Major Yan Jun: thank him for his help over these years."

The man looked at you in silence for a long time, and finally gave a military salute: "Yes, Your Highness."

Watching the man's retreating figure, you swept your gaze over everyone: "Is there anyone else who wants to leave now?"

No one moved.

You walked down from the high platform: "In the years I have been away, you have been busy with intrigue, standing still, and accomplishing nothing."

The moment you walked down, everyone stood up and looked at you.

"Therefore, General Cui Li, Chen Qing, I am now revoking your leadership qualifications." You did not look at their expressions.

You did not look at anyone, but simply strolled to the side of the main door: "From now on, all actions of the Human Alliance Party will follow my arrangements."

You turned around to look at everyone, and they were all looking at you as well.

"If I fail, I will step down, but I will not fail."

"This operation has only two possibilities: death or victory."

"However, death does not belong to the Human Race; we will only be victorious."

You turned and walked toward the main entrance.

"If I unfortunately fail, then let someone wrap my corpse with the Human Alliance Party flag."

"Long live the Human Alliance." You shouted.

No one knew why, but it seemed you possessed this kind of magic that made people believe in you.

You would not fail; yes, the Human Race would not fail.

Whether it was General Cui Li or Chen Qing, both thought so.

"Long live the Human Alliance."

After you finished shouting, everyone shouted subconsciously.
