"Let go!" Lu Wanqing commanded with a cold face.
Zhou Li released her and chuckled, "Lu Wanqing, you chose this path yourself. We gave you a chance at freedom, and you didn't cherish it. From now on, be our puppet and build mechs for our six legions."
"You're dreaming!" Little Harvey shouted furiously, his voice fierce.
Zhou Li looked at Xavier, then at Little Harvey, and sneered, "Dreaming or not, we'll see. When we get to the Federation and you meet the other children, you can ask your mommy."
What did he mean?
This time, not only Lu Wanqing and Little Harvey, but even Xavier turned their heads to look at Zhou Li.
The prisoners were finally acting like prisoners, especially Xavier. This made Zhou Li feel incredibly elated.
They were all heirs to the marshalcy. Back in the Imperial Military Academy, Zhong Li Feiyu and Xavier had always been the most prominent. He had disliked them for years, and now, after waiting so long, he finally had the chance to vent his anger.
"Zhou Li, don't waste words," said another young man who walked over, his tone stern.
Hearing this, Zhou Li indeed stopped talking. He just smiled and left in a good mood.
However, Lu Wanqing felt a deep sense of unease, sensing something was amiss.
The other children... what did he mean by that?
Had Lanlan, Xiaoyi, Shushu, and Cuicui also been kidnapped?
Impossible.
Lu Wanqing tried to convince herself, "Those families, except for the Yu family, are not simple. They wouldn't have kidnapped all these children. If they really kidnapped children, those families would never let them off."
But such self-comfort had no effect. Lu Wanqing's face grew paler and her anxiety deepened.
While those families were indeed formidable, these were the six major legions. If they joined forces, even the Seventh Legion and the Zhong Li family might struggle to resist.
"What did you do to those children?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but demand.
At this moment, a young man with a gentle and refined demeanor approached. He looked at Lu Wanqing deeply, his eyes seemingly filled with regret.
"Hey, what exactly did you do!" Lu Wanqing lost control of her emotions and shouted.
"No need to say more to them," Xavier, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
Xavier furrowed his brow slightly and said, "They just want to provoke you, then film it and use it to blackmail the people they want to blackmail."
Lu Wanqing was slightly startled by this, but she quickly understood.
Of course, the other party had a purpose in kidnapping them. What was this purpose?
The six major legions' greatest fear was the Seventh Legion growing stronger with her and the Empire's support, eventually annexing their legions or suppressing them to the lowest ranks, stripping them of their former authority.
So now, in their desperation, they had kidnapped her.
Not only her, but also the children in the Federation.
What was their objective?
To kill her and the children?
Probably not. Their intentions were clear earlier: they wanted her to build super S-class mechs for them. If so, they would have to keep them alive so she could continue building mechs for them in the future.
Moreover, after this incident, the six major legions had thoroughly offended the Mu family, hadn't they? Especially if they had also captured Little Lanlan.
Even if they hadn't captured Lanlan, Lanlan would surely be concerned about her mommy. Lanlan wouldn't stand for her mommy being bullied.
So, no matter what, the situation was clear: the six major legions had offended the Mu family. If they still wanted high-quality mechs, they could only rely on her...
They had kidnapped these children, perhaps to use them to blackmail her, forcing her to build super S-class mechs for them?
But by capturing her, they were making enemies of the Seventh Legion, the Mu family, the Wei family, and even the Empire.
If the Empire, the Seventh Legion, the Mu family, and the Wei family joined forces, the six major legions would surely be no match. So, at this moment, they intended to use her as a hostage to blackmail Third Brother?
Lu Wanqing suddenly understood. She struggled to control her emotions, trying to calm herself down.
Third Brother cared about her so much. If he saw her kidnapped and so agitated by the people of the six major legions, he would be very worried.
Lu Wanqing closed her eyes, trying not to think about these things, forcing herself to remain calm.
Her calmness made the people of the six major legions frown. This was not what they wanted.
However, unbeknownst to everyone at this moment, the instant Lu Wanqing was taken, Lu Yang found out.
Not for any other reason, but because Qingqing was too important to him. Before leaving, he had secretly left behind Firefly, hiding it within Lu Wanqing's light brain.
Firefly was a high-level intelligent AI. The moment it detected its female owner was in danger, it immediately sent a message to its owner, Lu Yang.
Lu Yang, who was on his way to get medicine, changed his expression upon receiving the message. He turned back almost immediately. At this moment, Lu Yang was closing in on them, completely undetected by the six major legions.
It wasn't that the technology of the six major legions couldn't monitor the outside situation. It was because Firefly had secretly collaborated with its owner. Firefly had infiltrated the warships of the six major legions and quietly altered the surveillance footage displayed on their ships. Thus, the people of the six major legions had not detected any danger until now.
About fifteen minutes later, a small spaceship suddenly approached the rear of the warship.
Firefly detected its owner's arrival and became incredibly excited. It quickly controlled the intelligent system of the six major legions' warship and quietly opened the rear door.
Lu Yang jumped out of the small spaceship and, with a flip, entered the warship of the six major legions.
Firefly was thrilled. Its owner hadn't taken action in a long time. These people from the Federation were really asking for it. It was also very grateful to them for finally giving it another opportunity to cooperate with its owner.
If these scumbags hadn't been so arrogant, thinking they could threaten His Majesty by capturing Miss Lu, how would it have had such a chance to show off?
Thinking this, Firefly quietly shifted its control to its owner's side. Wherever its owner went, it would manipulate the intelligent system of the six major legions' warship to close the doors behind them, making it convenient for its owner to deal with enemies inside.
One enemy!
Two enemies!
Three enemies!
Four, five, six...
One by one, they fell without being detected. Only a few leaders remained in the center of the hall after all the soldiers on this warship were dealt with.
Lu Yang crept closer and asked Firefly to bring up the hall's surveillance. He took a look.
"Lure them out," Lu Yang commanded in a low voice.
"Yes, Master!" Firefly agreed, extremely excited.
