Inside the room, numerous high-ranking officers and generals held their breaths as Nanqi paced back and forth.

No one dared to make a sound, fearing they would become the target of his anger.

The murder of the twelve knights of the Royal Knights was a matter that, if reported back to Xinghuan City, would likely cause an earthquake of magnitude ten.

No one knew if Lord Icaroia, the city lord, would be enraged.

"Not good!"

Just then, Nanqi seemed to realize something. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned to leave.

"Lord Nanqi, where are you going?"

"Central Command Room."

"What are you going there for? This situation hasn't been dealt with yet, and the murderer hasn't been caught. Shouldn't we be focusing on these matters first?"

Bai Li followed closely behind, completely at a loss.

"You don't need to follow me. I'll leave this matter to you for the time being."

Nanqi ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, yes..."

Although Bai Li didn't understand, she didn't dare to disobey Nanqi's orders.

Nanqi quickly ran towards the command room, his face growing increasingly grim along the way.

Before long, Nanqi burst into the Black and White Boundary Fortress command room. The officers on duty turned their heads nervously to look at Commander Nanqi, who was rushing in a frenzy.

"Commander Nanqi?"

"Get out of the way!"

Nanqi went straight to the central console and pushed the person away without saying a word.

"Yes."

The officer in charge of the main console quickly moved aside.

Nanqi suppressed his anger and anxiety and asked, "How much time is left before the end of hyperspace flight?"

"About 30 minutes."

The subordinate replied quickly.

"Damn it!"

Nanqi couldn't help but curse. He quickly entered commands on the console, modifying the hyperspace flight path.

Prompts popped up one after another.

"Warning: Scheduled course canceled!"

"Warning: Generating new course."

"Warning: Encrypted course generated, executing."

...

The operators in the room were dumbfounded. They asked, puzzled, "Lord Nanqi, why did you suddenly change the course? This will deviate from the trajectory."

"Shut up! From now on, whatever orders I give are the orders. Anyone who dares to question them will be executed on the spot!"

Nanqi issued the order with murderous intent.

Rogerd was killed, and it was clear that an attack was imminent. The enemy had definitely calculated the time perfectly. Once hyperspace flight ended, they would be greeted with an overwhelming assault.

The only thing they could do now was to immediately deviate from the flight path and buy themselves some time.

Moreover, since the other party dared to attack him, their strength was definitely not weaker than his.

The only thing he didn't know was how they planned to deal with him.

Was it a trap, an ambush, or internal collusion?

For a time, the entire control room was filled with officers trembling with fear, who responded, "Yes!"

"From now on, no one is allowed to check the flight path. Do not end hyperspace flight without my order. Force overclocking flight until the hyperspace device overloads and triggers the automatic protection mechanism!"

"Yes!"

The officers responded with a solemn expression.

"Immediately issue a Level 1 combat readiness order to the Dark Crow fleet!"

"Yes!"

"Relay my order to the garrison, search every corner of the entire Black and White Boundary Fortress, especially the power room and armory, and eliminate all safety hazards!"

"Yes!"

All the officers moved into action, sensing the seriousness of the situation.

"Order all combat units of the Black and White Boundary Fortress to enter Level 1 standby status. All mechs, space fighters, and all other weapons are to be hot-started..."

"Yes."

One officer after another saluted and responded, then went down to relay the orders.

...

After issuing a series of orders, Nanqi's expression remained unchanged. He then placed his hand on the console.

"Authority identification successful."

Nanqi then quickly entered a very long secret key.

"Switching to backup system. Please note that this operation will set the permissions of everyone except you to temporary permissions. Execute?"

"Yes!"

Nanqi pressed confirm without hesitation.

Instantly, all the screens on the consoles switched to temporary mode.

In short, Nanqi trusted no one now, no matter who it was!

He knew that the entire Black and White Boundary Fortress had definitely been infiltrated. The other party's strength was absolutely terrifying, daring to mess with him.

But did they really think they could control him like this? Did they think he would just sit and wait for his death?

Dream on!

Did they really think he was someone like Kailas, who rose to power through brute force and connections? He had risen to power through his own intelligence and talent.

His nickname, the Evil Fox, wasn't for nothing.

If they wanted to kill him, they might break their teeth.

Just then, a holographic image popped up.

An explosive ordnance disposal officer reported in horror, "Commander Nanqi, we found a high-level shielded time bomb in Power Well No. 3."

The image showed an inconspicuous gray square bomb quietly attached to the inner wall of the power well.

The officers present were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Who on earth dared to cause trouble inside the Black and White Boundary Fortress?

"Interesting. Just wait. When I catch you, I'll definitely skin you alive! Disarm it immediately."

Nanqi laughed angrily, his face twisted. He really was a hunter who had become the hunted.

"Yes."

The subordinates shuddered.

...

Inside the rest room.

Su Mo sat quietly, his expression growing more serious. Although he was staying in the room,

the outside was in a state of chaos. External guard soldiers were being mobilized heavily, as if facing a great enemy.

This had never happened before.

At this moment, a team of officers walked over, came to the door of Su Mo's room, and opened it.

"What do you want?"

When Sun Duo Xiang and the others saw the officers of Xinghuan City who had opened the door and entered, they became vigilant.

The leading officer raised his ID and said to Su Mo and the others, "I am Colonel Millett of the Black and White Boundary Fortress. Who is Su Mo?"

"I am."

Su Mo raised his hand and responded.

"A very serious murder case has occurred at the fortress. Please come with us for investigation."

Millett said in an unquestionable tone.

"Why? It wasn't done by my boss."

Sun Duo Xiang immediately retorted.

"I didn't say that Su Mo did it. He is just a suspect. I am just asking him to come back for investigation. But if you don't cooperate, then we can consider you to be problematic."

Millett didn't reason with you at all.

"I'll go with you."

Su Mo raised his hand to signal Sun Duo Xiang not to say anything more.

"Su Mo."

Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo with great concern.

Su Mo shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and then followed Millett out.

Just as Su Mo left the room and walked down the corridor.

He saw many people being taken away, and all of them were experts.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo roughly understood what was going on. This was a large-scale screening of experts. He was a little curious about who died.

It was able to cause such a big commotion for Commander Nanqi.
