57: Murdering Imperial citizens?

More than an hour later, in the G1005 Galaxy, a fleet suddenly appeared in the vast cosmic expanse. It was none other than the fleet led by Li Yang.

“Target Galaxy reached, currently searching for the planet where the Imperial Citizen in distress is located…”

In a short while, the so-called Planet Mengde appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Looking at the sapphire-blue planet on the light screen, which resembled a precious gem and was surrounded by some satellite-like devices, Li Yang made a judgment in his heart: this planet was clearly also a technological civilization, but from its appearance, its civilization level should be very low.

After the fleet conducted a comprehensive scan of this planet, the conclusion was that the planet only possessed the strength of a first-level civilization, even slightly inferior to Blue Star.

“Pal, see if we can still contact that Imperial Citizen now?”

Comrade Li Yang said with a serious expression.

“Yes!”

Pal quickly began operations after receiving the order.

After a while, Pal shook his head helplessly, indicating that he could not establish contact. Not only could he not connect, but he couldn't even capture the signal from the intelligent brain.

The fleet meticulously scanned the entire planet inside and out, but still couldn't find the Imperial Citizen, except for a small starship, clearly not from this planet, parked in a forest.

Under normal circumstances, a distress-calling Imperial Citizen would very likely have met with misfortune, as they were already so close but still couldn't find any relevant signals.

“Send a Squad down to investigate.”

Li Yang decisively ordered.

Since they couldn't be contacted, they could only send people down to search. At the very least, that starship had to be brought up; they couldn't just return empty-handed.

The hatch slowly opened, and a Squad of Imperial Fighter Jets took off in an orderly fashion, speeding towards Monde Star.

Just as the Fighter Jets Squad slowly entered the airspace of Monde Star, in a heavily guarded military base on the ground.

“Report, multiple unknown flying objects detected.”

A Soldier in charge of monitoring shouted loudly.

Because the primary purpose of this trip was to find someone, the Fighter Jets Squad made no attempt to conceal themselves, flying in brazenly and without any reservations.

“Unknown flying objects? Maybe it’s aliens again. Quick! Send Fighter Jets to intercept them.”

A nervous military officer quickly gave the order, and several Fighter Jets in the military base rapidly activated, roaring as they flew towards the position of the Imperial Fighter Jets.

“Report, Captain, the native civilization seems to have discovered us. The system shows several flying objects are rapidly approaching our location.”

“So arrogant? A mere first-level civilization dares to intercept us. All units, prepare for battle!”

Although the Imperial Fighter Jets they were piloting were only planetary-class, possessing roughly the strength of a second-level civilization, they were by no means something a first-level civilization could easily provoke or bump into.

In a short while, the Fighter Jets from both sides met in the sky.

“This is the Monde Federation. You have entered our airspace. Please land and surrender immediately!”

Such a shout came from the communication channel of the Monde Federation Fighter Jets.

Upon hearing this, the captain of the Imperial Fighter Jets Squad had a dark expression. What was this? They immediately told them to surrender. Were they that confident? Although he really wanted to open fire and teach the other party a lesson, he patiently explained first.

“We are affiliated with the Xili Empire. One of our Imperial Citizens has disappeared on this planet, and we have specifically come to search for him.”

These words were, of course, clearly heard by the military officers in the military base.

“Indeed, it really is an alien civilization. Quickly shoot them down!”

The military officer’s face was filled with excitement. Previously, an unidentified flying object had suddenly entered the Federation’s airspace. After forcing it to land, they found only one person inside, and his appearance was completely different from that of Monde Star people.

However, during the arrest, due to an accidental misstep, the alien was killed, so they had to take him for dissection and research. Now, so many aliens have appeared again; this time, they must capture one alive no matter what.

Upon receiving the military officer’s order, the Monde Federation Fighter Jets immediately launched an attack without hesitation. Machine guns spewed fire, and air-to-air missiles whistled towards the Imperial Fighter Jets.

“Activate stealth system…”

Seeing the sudden attack from the other side, the Imperial Fighter Jets Squad calmly activated their stealth system. In the blink of an eye, the entire Squad disappeared into the air like ghosts.

“They disappeared! They’re not on the radar either.”

The pilots of the Monde Federation Fighter Jets immediately panicked. After the Imperial Fighter Jets activated their stealth system, they instantly became headless flies, completely unable to find their targets. They couldn't be seen on the radar display or by visual observation.

“Command Center, during the search, the enemy attacked us. Request permission to retaliate!”

“Permission to retaliate granted!”

Upon receiving the message from the Imperial Fighter Jets Squad, Li Yang also unhesitatingly agreed to the request for retaliation. After all, he was only here to find someone; the other party’s active attack was their fault.

“Understood! All units, attention, shoot them down!”

After the captain of the Imperial Fighter Jets Squad decisively gave the order, dazzling lasers appeared out of thin air, instantly and accurately hitting the Monde Federation Fighter Jets.

“What? Where did the attack come from?”

The pilots of the Monde Federation screamed in terror.

Before they could react, within a mere minute, all of the Monde Federation Fighter Jets were shot down.

“Cease fire, Command Center, request to return to base.”

“Permission to return to base granted!”

“Understood!”

After successfully shooting down the Monde Federation Fighter Jets, the Imperial Fighter Jets Squad turned and left gracefully, embarking on their journey back.

After all, since the other party had already actively attacked them, continuing the search now was clearly no longer very feasible.

“Beep… Imperial Guard Division requesting communication…”

Just as Li Yang was about to directly send troops down to conduct “friendly exchanges,” the intelligent brain’s prompt suddenly sounded.

“Guard Division? Agree to communicate.”

Li Yang said without hesitation.

“Hello, Comrade Li Yang, this is the Imperial Guard Division stationed in the G1001 Galaxy.”

A steady voice came from the other end of the communication.

“Hello, is there something I can help you with?”

Although he didn’t understand why another G1001 Galaxy had appeared, the identity of the Imperial Guard Division certainly couldn't be fake.

“We have found that you received a distress message from an Imperial Citizen. May I ask if the situation is true?”

Upon hearing this, Li Yang instantly understood that this Guard Division had specifically come to understand the details of this matter. So, he quickly and thoroughly explained the entire incident from beginning to end, leaving no stone unturned.

“I see. The G1005 Galaxy is indeed not yet incorporated into the Xili Empire. As for the Imperial Citizen who lost contact, we will immediately check if there are still vital signs. Please wait…”

After understanding the whole story, the Guard Division also unhesitatingly expressed their willingness to provide assistance. After all, Li Yang had already arrived at the target Galaxy, so they no longer needed to make a long journey.

“I apologize, according to our inquiry, that Imperial Citizen has already lost his vital signs.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yang was completely stunned, his heart filled with disbelief.

How could this low-level civilization be so audacious? They dared to harm an Imperial Citizen, especially when this Imperial Citizen was a human Imperial Citizen.
