Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Return

Thinking about this, Wei Yingrui’s face became very grim. Even this advanced mecha had a backdoor control program. What about the battle robots, air combat devices, and warships?

I spent all this money for nothing?

Why didn’t they detect this earlier? What were the inspection departments doing?

About ten minutes later, the advanced mecha brought Wei Yingrui to Nanming Star. He had come from the Lei Meng Duchy’s defensive line, so he arrived quickly.

Wei Yingrui was directly taken to the Shui Family’s living room.

The mecha shed halfway, and Qin Hao looked at Wei Yingrui with a faint smile, “Long time no see, Prince Wei.”

“What exactly do you want?” Wei Yingrui’s face darkened, looking extremely unpleasant.

Qin Hao looked at him and said, “You should know very well what I want. You now have two choices: either die or submit to me. If you submit to me, I can still let you manage the Lei Meng Duchy’s territory. As long as you don’t make mistakes, this position will always be yours.”

“Do you think it’s possible for a prince to submit?” Wei Yingrui snorted coldly.

Qin Hao smiled faintly, “I don’t believe anything is impossible. Taste the feeling of a thousand cuts first before you say that.

Let me explain to Prince Wei what a thousand cuts is. In ancient times, there was a punishment where chunks of flesh were cut from a person with a knife. The person wouldn’t die immediately, at least not after a thousand cuts. Now, with genetic drugs, maybe Prince Wei will never die.”

Hearing Qin Hao’s words, Wei Yingrui’s face changed dramatically. Is there really such a vicious punishment?

“You demon, pervert.”

Qin Hao smiled faintly, “You have ten seconds to consider. It’s a simple decision, do you want to live or do you want to die?”

“10, 9, 8, 7…”

Wei Yingrui hurriedly said, “Mr. Qin, I want to live. I’ll listen to everything you say.”

Qin Hao smiled slightly, “That’s the right decision, a decision only a smart person would make. Here, take the slave medicine.”

Wei Yingrui took it, his hand trembling slightly. He was genuinely terrified by the cruel punishment Qin Hao described. What kind of planet is this, to come up with such a vicious punishment?

Seeing Wei Yingrui drink the slave potion, Qin Hao’s face showed a smile, “Now, which areas are under Lei Meng Duchy’s responsibility on the defensive line?”

Wei Yingrui activated a virtual imaging system, “Master, here is our defensive line, and these regions are the responsibility of other duchies and the United Fleet.”

He agreed to Qin Hao because he witnessed the strength of the Galaxy Fleet. In a confrontation, the United Fleet suffered heavy losses while the Galaxy Fleet didn’t have a single damaged ship. That powerful organized Galaxy Fleet was intimidating.

If the Galaxy Fleet were to attack in the future, he couldn’t avoid destruction, as he wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Now, by siding with Qin Hao, he might still be valued in the future.

Qin Hao: “Later, I will take a spacecraft to the Southern Wilderness Star System. Tell your people on the defensive line to act like they didn’t see anything.”

Wei Yingrui nodded, “Yes, Master.”

Qin Hao: “After I discuss things over there, I’ll tell you when to launch the attack. We’ll work internally and externally to annihilate these United Fleets.”

Wei Yingrui nodded in agreement. Even without Wei Yingrui’s internal and external support, if Qin Hao’s Galaxy Fleet fought, they could still defeat these United Fleets easily. With his help, it would just be simpler.

After their discussion, Wei Yingrui left, and Qin Hao said to Lan Xin and Yun Ya, “Let’s prepare to leave.”

They nodded, and a few minutes later, the spacecraft took off from the Shui Family, heading straight for the endless asteroid belt.

Because of the spacecraft’s speed, they reached the defensive line of the United Fleet in about three minutes. Wei Yingrui had already made arrangements, so no one intercepted them.

The distant defensive line of the United Fleet also detected the spacecraft, but its speed was too fast. By the time they reacted, the spacecraft had already flown into the endless asteroid passage.

Although the endless asteroid passage was long, it only took about twenty minutes for the spacecraft.

On the way, Qin Hao initiated a video call to Chang Jing, and the communicator quickly connected. “Xiao Jing, I’m currently in the endless asteroid passage and will soon reach the Southern Wilderness Star System.”

Chang Jing’s face lit up with joy, “Our fleet is over here, and we have monitoring devices in the passage, we already saw your spacecraft.”

“I’ll be there soon, I’ll hang up now,” Qin Hao said with a smile.

He felt a bit excited inside. He had been away from Earth for almost a year and was finally coming home.

Lan Xin glanced at Qin Hao, feeling uneasy. It seemed he had many wives at his home too. Would they reject her?

About twenty minutes later, Qin Hao and his team saw the end of the endless asteroid passage. The spacecraft slowed down, and a few minutes later, it exited the passage.

There, nearly a hundred warships were anchored, densely packed, giving a tremendous visual impact.

These were two fully organized interstellar fleets. Many people were standing on the interstellar aircraft carrier, Galaxy. The spacecraft slowly landed there.

Qin Hao, Lan Xin, the Elf Queen, and the Princess stepped off the spacecraft.

Seeing Qin Hao, Chang Jing walked quickly over and hugged him tightly. Glancing at Lan Xin and the others beside Qin Hao, she gave him a hard look but didn’t say much.

She looked at the Elf Queen Yun Ya with a smile, “Welcome back, Queen Yun Ya.”

On the deck were several members of the Elf Clan. Seeing their queen and princess return, their faces showed excitement, but they didn’t move because they were under military orders and couldn’t move without command.

Qin Hao glanced at Yun Ya and said, “Queen Yun Ya, you can speak with your people first.” He then walked into the interstellar aircraft carrier with Chang Jing, Lan Xin, and others.

On the way, Qin Hao introduced them, “This is Chang Jing. When I’m not here, she’s the person in charge of the Galaxy Federation. This is Princess Lan Xin of the Nolan Empire.”

Chang Jing smiled, “Hello, Princess Lan Xin. I didn’t expect this guy to have such skills, even getting a princess from one of the eight great empires.”

Lan Xin smiled faintly, “Hello, Chang Jing-jie. Just call me Lan Xin-mei. Please take care of me in the future.”

“No need to be formal, Lan Xin-mei. You’re part of the family here, no one will bully you,” Chang Jing said gently, seeing through Lan Xin’s worries.

As they entered the ship, Chang Jing spoke to Qin Hao, “Xiao Hao, how do you plan to arrange the Elf Queen? She was a leader of the Elf Clan. Now that she’s back, this has both pros and cons for us.”

The advantage is that the Elf Clan will be even more grateful and loyal to Qin Hao. The disadvantage is that with her previous prestige, she could rally some Elf Clan members if she uses some means.

Qin Hao understood this as well, his tone calm, “Let her be a queen but without real power. Just like how Xiyu Country had a queen back on Earth. And keep someone to watch over her.”
