Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 485 Sentinel to the World: The Delicate and Useless Guide VS The Cunning and Super-Powerful

Xie Linchuan gritted his teeth. The Federation's calculations were too ruthless. Did they intend to destroy the Empire?

Lan Yu'an smiled smugly: "By then, Xie Linchuan, do you think the Empire will still be able to keep the formula for the mental pollution drug?"

"Lan Yu'an, your Federation is truly despicable! Even if I die, the Empire will not have fallen to that state!"

Lan Yu'an shrugged: "Say what you will. Anyway, you won't live to see that day."

He took out a button, which should be the switch for the self-destruct device, then looked up at Xie Linchuan and the others on the screen, smiled, said "Goodbye," and pressed the button.

Xia Qingqian, as if only now realizing what was happening, rushed forward, crying out in panic and fear, "Lan Yu'an, Young Master Lan, take me away! Didn't you promise me you'd take me back to the Federation? Please, take me away..."

Lan Yu'an glanced at Xia Qingqian one last time, her eyes cold, and without saying a word, she ended the video call.

He only used Xia Qingqian and never really valued her. Once she was no longer of any use, she was destined to be discarded. Why would he waste his energy taking Xia Qingqian away?

Lan Yu'an's figure disappeared, leaving only Xia Qingqian's painful cries in the cockpit.

She didn't even notice that although Lan Yu'an pressed the self-destruct device, there was no self-destruct countdown prompt. Moreover, upon closer inspection, Xie Linchuan, Su Jinyue, and the others did not appear to be panicked at all.

Xie Linchuan looked at Su Jinyue. Ever since Lan Yu'an mentioned the self-destruct device, Su Jinyue had been busy in the cockpit.

Just as Lan Yu'an pressed the button, under Su Jinyue's operation, the spaceship screen displayed the message 'Self-destruct device has stopped'.

Xie Linchuan breathed a sigh of relief; with the self-destruct device destroyed, they were safe.

But Su Jinyue was still nervously operating on the screen. Xie Linchuan looked at the code that flashed and disappeared quickly on the screen. He didn't understand it, but he didn't disturb her.

Su Jinyue entered the last line of code, clicked OK, then straightened up, a smile on her face, and announced that she had succeeded!

Xie Linchuan reached out and touched the top of Su Jinyue's head, asking with a smile, "What did you do?"

Su Jinyue tilted her head and looked at him: "It is impolite not to reciprocate. Didn't Lan Yu'an set up a self-destruct device on the spaceship? I remotely controlled it and set up a self-destruct device on the spaceship where Lan Yu'an was, and it has already been activated."

The Federation harbors wolfish ambitions, and Lan Yu'an is no better. Let him enjoy such a good thing himself.

Xie Linchuan no longer cared about diplomatic relations between the two countries. Since the other side wanted him dead, why should he think about anything else?

Su Jinyue can do whatever she wants.

After rescuing Su Jinyue and capturing everyone on the spaceship, Xie Linchuan led everyone to transfer to his own spaceship.

Let Su Jinyue go and rest first, Xie Linchuan will be busy from now on.

The Federation's conspiracy, and the massive insect swarm that the Federation artificially attracted to the border planet, must all be reported to His Majesty the Emperor.

Su Jinyue had already taken a nap in her room, while Xie Linchuan was still busy. It seemed that the Federation's move had indeed caused a huge crisis for the Empire.

It wasn't until the next day at mealtime that Su Jinyue saw Xie Linchuan, who had rushed over. He had stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't rested much.

Xie Linchuan looked at Su Jinyue apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Jinyue, I can't go back to the capital planet with you."

Looking at Xie Linchuan's slightly apologetic yet determined expression, Su Jinyue had a sudden inspiration and blurted out.

"You're going to the border defense planet?"

Xie Linchuan nodded silently: "Yes, after investigation, the Zerg on the border star have already formed the prototype of a Zerg swarm, and there are still Zerg continuously joining in. It can be confirmed that this is indeed a Zerg swarm that is rare in a hundred years."

The Empire has urgently deployed troops to support the border planets, but compared to the number and scale of the Zerg, the Empire's forces are still too few.

It will take some time to mobilize troops, but our spaceship will reach the border planet much faster than theirs, so I need to lead the special forces to the border planet as soon as possible to organize the legion's counterattack.

As for you, I will arrange for someone to send you back to the capital planet…

"Xie Linchuan!" Before Xie Linchuan could finish speaking, Su Jinyue interrupted him.

Su Jinyue raised her head, looked at Xie Linchuan with a determined expression, and said, word by word, "Xie Linchuan, I want to go to the border defense star too!"

Upon hearing Su Jinyue's request, Xie Linchuan refused without hesitation: "No, the border planet is too dangerous..."

However, Su Jinyue argued her case logically.

"Xie Linchuan, I won't hold you back; I'm going to help."

I am the guide, and my spiritual form is very useful on the battlefield!

Furthermore, although finished products of psychotropic drugs are now available, the quantity is still too small.

I went to the border planet. As long as I have the raw materials, I can refine pills that are much more effective than potions and can save more soldiers..."

Su Jinyue racked her brains for a reason why she absolutely had to go to the border planet. The insect swarm on the border planet was too dangerous, and she didn't want to be too far away from Xie Linchuan.

Only by staying by Xie Linchuan's side could she save him in time when he was in danger.

Su Jinyue had a premonition that she had to stay with Xie Linchuan during this insect swarm, otherwise she would definitely regret it!

Seeing Su Jinyue struggling to come up with a reason for going to the border star, Xie Linchuan knew that no matter how many high-sounding reasons she gave, the most important one was that she couldn't bear to leave him!

He could disregard Su Jinyue's objections and insist on sending her back to the capital planet, but he knew that was not what Su Jinyue wanted.

Looking back on Su Jinyue's actions since they met, Xie Linchuan suddenly realized that Su Jinyue was never someone who could only rely on others to live.

Even if she were stranded on an unknown planet, Su Jinyue would still be able to live a good life. In fact, it was Su Jinyue who cured her of her mental breakdown.

Back on the capital planet, he can get revenge for all the deception and harm he suffered in the past.

Even when attacked by the Zerg on the Trial Star, they can react quickly and lead their teammates to fight back.

Even during this kidnapping, Su Jinyue managed to leave clues and fight back thanks to her intelligence.

"Okay! Then you can come with me! But you have to promise not to go to dangerous places, otherwise I'll worry."

Su Jinyue was still thinking of a reason when she suddenly heard Xie Linchuan relent. She looked up in disbelief, her eyes sparkling.

Knowing she hadn't misheard, Su Jinyue excitedly hugged Xie Linchuan and kissed him on the lips.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be obedient, don't worry!"

Caught off guard, Xie Linchuan paused for a moment, then smiled when he saw Su Jinyue's excited expression.

Fully equipped and ready to go, they set off again, heading towards the border defense star.

While en route, Su Jinyue received a message that the spaceship carrying the Federation exchange delegation had suddenly exploded after leaving the Empire's territory.

Unfortunately, the son of the Federal President, Lan Yu'an, escaped in time in a life pod and has now been taken back to the Federation by the people who came to his aid.

Su Jinyue felt a little regretful after hearing this; how could she have let Lan Yu'an escape?

However, Su Jinyue quickly reassured herself that it was alright, that revenge was a dish best served cold, and that she would get her revenge sooner or later.

Xie Linchuan originally thought he would have to spend a long time persuading Su Jinyue to accept this fact, but he didn't expect Su Jinyue to figure it out so quickly on her own.

He thought about it again and realized that this was exactly what he wanted.

Su Jinyue has let it go, but he will remember it for her. Don't think that Lan Yu'an can rest easy just because she escaped back to the Federation.

Little did they know, the two were thinking the same thing, and Lan Yu'an had already decided on his tragic future.

Upon arriving at the border star, Su Jinyue immediately felt a tense and oppressive atmosphere as soon as she stepped off the spaceship.

The starports of the border star are bustling with activity, with starships carrying war supplies and soldiers coming and going in an endless stream.

As soon as Su Jinyue arrived at the destination, she parted ways with Xie Linchuan.

Xie Linchuan went to the front lines, while Su Jinyue went to the apothecary. Some of the medicinal herbs she needed had already been delivered, and now she needed to refine them into pills.

Su Jinyue hadn't spent a long time refining pills with her mental energy in a long time. Time was tight, and she hardly had any time to rest.

Exhausted, Su Jinyue seized the time to recover her mental energy, and even took pills to restore it.

After all the medicinal herbs were used up, Su Jinyue finally had a short break.

It was only then that Su Jinyue learned that the Border Star had already gone to war with the Zerg.

Fortunately, while waiting for the insect swarm to take shape, Xie Linchuan, the captain of the First Legion's special forces team, led his team members in a surprise attack, deploying heavy weapons to areas densely populated with insects and eliminating a portion of them.

This is why the insect swarm did not break out as quickly as expected, and the scale was not as large as anticipated, allowing the frontline to hold out.

But the Zerg continued to arrive in droves, and new types of Zerg joined the battle, which was a blow to the Sentinels' mental strength.

However, the Empire already had a countermeasure. The mass-produced mental pollution drugs had already been transported to the border planets, and together with the pills refined by Su Jinyue, they could resist some of the mental attacks from the new type of insectoid race.

Furthermore, the Empire has long organized a group of guides with physiques of B grade or above; they are a secret weapon against the new Zerg!

Su Jinyue also applied to go to the front line. Her physical condition and mental strength have long surpassed S-level, and even the Sentinels are not as good as her.

She had only one goal: wherever Xie Linchuan was, she would be there too!

The idea that war is cruel becomes even more profound once you get to the front lines.

The sentinels' spiritual forms come in all shapes and sizes, but on the battlefield, when facing the Zerg, they are all fearless and relentless in their advance.

The Sentinel's spiritual abilities are incredibly diverse, but when they attack the Zerg, they always manage to take their lives.

But the damage is mutual; as the Zerg die, the Empire's soldiers also die.

Su Jinyue was moved by the cruel and tragic atmosphere of the battlefield, and her spirit flew out uncontrollably.

The enormous sycamore tree, for the first time displaying its full form, stood tall above the battleground.

Then, a clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the entire battlefield. All the sentries felt a jolt of energy, and their mental strength, which had been depleted from the long and arduous battle, was briefly restored by this cry!

But that wasn't all. After the phoenix's cry, a fiery red divine bird flew out from the paulownia tree. Its feathers shone like flowing flames in the sunlight, its tail feathers were like a fan, and its wings spread out as it hovered in mid-air. As it flew, it would scatter starlight, which fell on the imperial sentinels.

This divine bird is clearly the legendary phoenix!

With the appearance of the phoenix, the mental strength of the sentinels present was instantly restored, and their combat power returned to its peak, or even stronger!

Conversely, the Zerg appeared somewhat listless under Su Jinyue's powerful spiritual body.

Xie Linchuan is fighting on the front lines of the battlefield, and his opponent is an S-class king among the Zerg.

With the Empire's top combat power insufficient, Xie Linchuan fought against three S-class Zerg, and was about to give up, but Su Jinyue's ultimate move allowed him to recover briefly and catch his breath.

The phoenix circled the battlefield for a long time, and then, seemingly having finally found its target, it swooped down on Xie Linchuan.

Finally, it collided with Xie Linchuan and disappeared.

But only Xie Linchuan knew that the phoenix had not disappeared; it resided in his spiritual sea, constantly restoring his spiritual power.

At the same time, Xie Linchuan's mental strength was also rising steadily.

Xie Linchuan's mental strength was already above S-level. With the nourishment of Su Jinyue's pills and the stimulation of the phoenix, his mental strength level finally broke through to the next level!

Facing the previously formidable S-class Zerg again, Xie Linchuan found it surprisingly easy!

Xie Linchuan, as if divinely aided, manipulated his spiritual form, the White Tiger, to utterly defeat the S-class Zerg.

The S-class Zerg have been defeated, and without the leadership of the S-class Zerg, the Zerg swarm's offensive has slowed down.

But soon, after a commotion at the rear of the insect swarm, the queen insect appeared!

The Queen is the king of the Zerg, and under her leadership, the Zerg swarm attacks become even more ferocious.

Xie Linchuan looked at the battlefield, which had become fierce again, and felt that the Zerg could not be allowed to continue.

He turned around and shouted to his comrades in the special forces, "Cover me, I'm going to deal with the queen!"

Xie Linchuan's mental level rose, and he felt that he could fight the Queen Insect!

Under the cover of his comrades, Xie Linchuan quickly approached the Queen Insect. Sensing the threat, the Queen Insect launched a terrifying mental attack in an attempt to stop Xie Linchuan from getting closer.

However, Xie Linchuan was protected by Su Jinyue's mental energy, which formed a protective film around him, rendering the Queen of Insects' mental attacks completely ineffective against him.

Xie Linchuan moved closer, and in her panic, the Insect Queen summoned her Insect Guards for protection, but it was too late!

The queen insect possessed strong mental power but a weak constitution. However, her only strength became useless when she encountered Su Jinyue.

Xie Linchuan seized the opportunity, and his spiritual form, the White Tiger, rushed directly into the location of the Insect Queen, unleashing a lightning strike that instantly took her life!

The Queen is dead, the Zerg's only king is dead, and without the king's leadership, the Zerg swarm is in complete chaos.

The Imperial army pressed their advantage, annihilating a wave of Zerg, while the remaining Zerg retreated to their base.

The battle between the Zerg and the Empire has come to an end, but the internal struggle within the Zerg has only just begun.

The Queen is dead, and the Zerg must fight to elect a new Queen.

This process will also consume a batch of Zerg.

Therefore, it is clear that the Empire will not have to worry about the Zerg for at least ten or twenty years.

Xie Linchuan was warmly welcomed by his comrades after killing the queen insect, but the only person he wanted to share this joy with was Su Jinyue.

Xie Linchuan shook off his comrades who came to congratulate him and headed towards Su Jinyue's direction.

Su Jinyue stood there, smiling as she waited for Xie Linchuan's return.

When Xie Linchuan finally stood in front of Su Jinyue, his excited heart calmed down considerably. He hugged Su Jinyue tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his own bones and blood.

After embracing for a long time, Xie Linchuan finally let go of Su Jinyue. Then he pulled open his collar and took out the necklace hanging around his neck. On the silver chain, there was a plain ring!

Xie Linchuan took off the ring, knelt on one knee, and looked up at Su Jinyue in front of him, as if he were looking at his whole world.

"Su Jinyue, will you marry me? From now on, I will share my glory and the rest of my life with you."

Su Jinyue reached out her hand and softly said three words: "I do!"

Why wouldn't she want to? Su Jinyue's purpose in transmigrating was for him, to save her lover!

She went through all sorts of hardships just to reunite with her lover. As long as she could be with him, it was all worth it!
