Chuhe Starfield

The number of interstellar legions in the Chuhe Starfield and its borders has consistently reached twenty interstellar legions, totaling over 60,000 interstellar warships.

Among them, the Chu family's three thousand interstellar warships, although belonging to the Chu family's lord fleet, never hid in the back during previous battles against the machine race.

Wherever there is a battle, the Chu-character interstellar warships will always be present.

The remaining interstellar legions consist of five permanent fleets assigned to the Chuhe Starfield, and the rest belong to the border army group, primarily responsible for the battles against the machine race.

This border army group, also known as the Northern Border Interstellar Main Fleet Group, is one of the main fleet groups of the Star Glory Empire.

Now, this battle-hardened main fleet is facing an internal undercurrent.

The 57th Legion of the Star Empire

Hundreds of high-ranking military officers received the message on their handheld terminals immediately, and the officers began to take action.

Bridge of a T4 Borei-class heavy starship

A brigadier stepped onto the bridge and walked toward the command platform.

"Commander."

"Commander."

The bridge soldiers around the ship saluted when they saw the newcomer.

The commander of a legion fleet is sometimes called a space legion commander or a legion leader.

"General Kim, isn't this your rest time?" The adjutant on duty looked at Brigadier General Kim.

“I’ve come to take a look. Now hand over command to me,” Brigadier General Kim said.

The adjutant looked at Brigadier General Kim and said, "You shouldn't be here right now."

Brigadier General Kim paused, then reached for his waist.

But at that moment, his head was already pressed against the adjutant's laser gun, and at the same time, several crew members on the bridge took out laser guns and aimed them at several bridge soldiers.

This left the other bridge crew members bewildered, wondering what had happened.

The adjutant immediately produced a dark gold insignia bearing the character "Chu": "Chu Family Dark Guard."

I hereby declare that command of this starship is now vested in me. The starship is to shut down its engines and remain in place. All soldiers are forbidden from leaving their positions, from operating the starship in any way, and from communicating with anyone.

Upon seeing this emblem, the bewildered soldiers on the bridge immediately stood still.

The Chu family's secret service.

The department most loyal to the Chu family has been operating in the shadows for years.

Their main activities include intelligence, espionage, and counter-espionage.

No one knows who the commander of the Dark Division is, nor does anyone know how many people are in the Dark Division.

"I never imagined that we would work together for three years."

"You're actually a member of the Chu family's secret service." Brigadier General Jin didn't touch his laser gun again; he knew such an action would be futile.

The soldiers in the Chu family's secret service are all elites, skilled in various combat techniques.

"Don't worry, the marshal's orders are that as long as you don't resist and don't cause too much harm to the Chu family, your lives will not be threatened," the adjutant said calmly.

Brigadier General Kim asked, "Can you tell me when I was exposed?"

"From the moment you were transferred to the border army group."

Although the princes, in order to conceal your identities, transferred you to other star systems to take up positions after you graduated from the Interstellar Military Academy.

It took three years of twists and turns before he was transferred to our border group army.

"But from that moment on, we've had our eyes on you," the adjutant said.

"Why? I don't understand one thing. Since you know my identity, why did the marshal still grant me the title of legion commander?"

"Even... he personally put this star on me." Brigadier General Kim stroked his star, somewhat emotional.

The adjutant said, "The Marshal's assessment of you is that you are a qualified soldier and an excellent fleet commander. The interstellar battlefield is where you belong."

"If we disregard your hidden identity, the Marshal has high hopes for you; the Border Army Group needs talent like you."

Brigadier General Kim shed a tear: "Please tell the Marshal that I...I'm sorry to him."

Such incidents are also occurring in various corps of this border army group, from the corps command level down to the lowest-ranking soldiers.

This situation has even occurred within the Chu family's army.

"Young Miss." The female adjutant looked at Chu Xuan, who was worried about the marshal's matter, and slowly walked to the desk.

"What's the situation now?" Chu Xuan looked up, her eyes filled with weariness.

The female adjutant replied, "So far, the Dark Division has eliminated 90% of the princes' party members who were planted here."

A total of 3,542 people will be eliminated, including 137 from the Chu family army.

And these people have developed more than 26,000 close associates over the years.

There are four officers of the first rank, the highest-ranking of whom is a two-star major general.

So far, the vast majority of the Dark Division's operations have gone smoothly.

The only unexpected incident involved the three T3-class starships of the Border Army Group, which were captured by the enemy, but they have now been destroyed or rendered combat ineffective.

In addition, minor disturbances and chaos occurred on thirty-nine interstellar warships, which had some impact on the warships themselves and caused some casualties among unrelated personnel.

However, all of these are still within a controllable range.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and looked at the list that the Dark Guard had submitted to her ten minutes before this incident.

When I learned about this list, I was stunned.

Furthermore, the details of the actions were all pre-arranged by Grandpa, but with specific triggering conditions.

Even Chu Xuan, the nominal head of the Chu family, only just found out.

Only then did Chu Xuan realize just how terrifying her grandfather was.

Even though he was on the capital star, he could still keep a firm grip on the affairs of the Chuhe Star Region.

Next, news broke that Chu Changhe had murdered the emperor, and the princes' faction ordered the capture of Chu Changhe.

Upon receiving this news, Chu Xuan immediately prepared to order the Chu family legion and other relevant legions and fleets to enter a state of combat readiness.

They're even preparing to launch a surprise attack!

But then another document appeared in front of Chu Xuan.

That was information left behind by Chu Changhe in advance.

The terms were simple: whatever happened to him on the capital planet, the Chu family was not allowed to take any action within a week.

This message immediately halted Chu Xuan's actions.

Chu Xuan felt like she had punched cotton, but since it was something her grandfather had instructed her to do, she could only obediently comply.

A week... a lot can happen in a week.

"I hope Grandpa can come back safely."

"If anything happens to my grandfather, even if it means wiping out the entire Chu family, I will still march to the capital star and kick over that damned throne!" Chu Xuan said with a murderous look on her face.
