"Where should we go?"
Upon hearing this, The Other was stunned, still not understanding.
Where should they go? Shouldn't they be figuring out a way to leave this planet and re-establish contact with the outside world?
Or, like before, find a planet with a planetary thruster and drag it over to collide with U40 Planet to create an opportunity to escape?
"His Highness Beckett, Woz does not recommend you go to the Municipal Building in U40 Planet's main city, Eiffelde, at this time. Judging by the speed at which the wanted posters were signed and issued, the enemy must have been prepared long ago."
Woz did not approve of Beckett's actions and spoke up to remind him. The situation of us being in the open while the enemy is hidden made Woz extremely cautious, especially since it still hadn't figured out how the identities of their trio were exposed.
"If they were prepared long ago, doesn't that mean our target is inside the Municipal Building?"
Looking up at the iconic building in Eiffelde's main urban area – the towering Municipal Building – Beckett's lips curved into a pleased arc.
He was very curious about That Great One mentioned by Babar.
He had to admit, Babar's mention of That Great One, who could snatch his prey from under his nose without anyone noticing, had indeed piqued his interest.
"His Highness Beckett, according to Woz's calculations, the probability of us successfully infiltrating without being discovered by the Skrulls is 0%."
"Breaking news just released by the U40 Planet News Department: our targets, Baltan and Gesra, will arrive at the port with their returning fleet in ten minutes. Thirty minutes later, a grand celebration banquet will be held in the Municipal Hall. The Municipal Hall will be heavily guarded at that time, making infiltration impossible for us."
Most importantly, Woz, who currently had no way to hack into U40 Planet's information system, couldn't forge a believable identity for Beckett and the others to walk in openly.
"Arrived early?" Beckett's eyes gleamed with excitement at the news, his tail unconsciously swaying behind him.
"Yes, His Highness Beckett. At a time like this, our chances of success are only—"
"It's 100%, and it will only be 100%." Beckett interrupted Woz before he could finish. His overflowing confidence left Woz silent for a long moment. Then, a topographical cross-section and three-dimensional views of various buildings along the route began to appear on the screen in front of Beckett's right eye.
Whatever His Highness Beckett said was correct.
"The Other, where is the Frost Bomb?" Beckett turned to look at his follower, who had been trailing behind him. The latter quickly retrieved a pile of blue crystals from the storage device and, holding them in his palm, happily presented them to Beckett.
"Here, here, His Highness Beckett."
"In thirty minutes, throw it at that Municipal Building."
"Yes! His Highness Beckett!"
Since they had already become notorious wanted criminals, they might as well do something that notorious criminals should do.
For example, blowing up a building and letting the ignorant Skrulls experience the art of war.
Gazing at the warships appearing on U40's horizon, Beckett let out a cold smile.
Astra, who had been walking behind The Other, involuntarily swallowed. For some reason, he had a bad premonition. And this premonition grew stronger as time passed.
...
"A warm welcome to the Empire's Seventh Legion returning victoriously to U40 Planet!"
"I, Jonias, in the name of the person in charge of U40 Planet..."
U40 Planet, having just been settled, finally welcomed the return of its stationed troops. Jonias, the nominal planetary leader, along with the planetary officials, greeted the returning warriors at the fleet's docking port.
They were the pride of the Skrull Empire.
"No need for pleasantries. Where is Shafrin? Why isn't he here? I need to talk to him."
Baltan, a Skrull with silver mechanical arms, snorted coldly, the cross-shaped scar near his eye looking particularly menacing.
"Lord Shafrin is in the Municipal Building preparing a celebration banquet for you." Jonias, with a Star Emblem embedded on his forehead, placed a hand on his shoulder and bowed slightly, respectfully.
"Now is the best time to deal with the Kree Empire. Why aren't we gathering troops to talk about cooperation with Thanos, and what's with settling the planet?"
"This matter is a bit complicated, and Lord Shafrin didn't explain it to me in detail. I don't dare to ask for specifics." Jonias himself was confused about the planet settlement, so he couldn't explain it to these two big shots in front of him.
"In any case, let's go back first. This is a rare opportunity. Any celebration banquet can wait until after we defeat the Kree Empire," Gesra, who was more than twice as burly as ordinary Skrull soldiers, said, stopping Baltan's questioning of Jonias.
They were all fighting for the honor of the empire, so there was no need to embarrass Jonias.
Baltan snorted, his gloomy gaze retracting. Under Jonias's lead, he entered the Municipal Building, and the figure who had been promoted the fastest in the Skrull Empire was reflected in his pupils.
A black and white striped mask, medals of honor, and a cape said to be stained with the enemy's blood.
An Imperial paratrooper, a dancer in the night sky of the Skrull capital Kaldron, the person who single-handedly boosted the sales of black and white striped masks, the highest-ranking man on U40 Planet – Shafrin.
Even though Baltan was unconvinced by this leader who had parachuted in thirty years ago, he had to admit that this man's strength was terrifying.
His mind control ability was superb, unmatched in the entire empire. Even Baltan and Gesra had been subtly controlled by this man.
Even more terrifying was the legend that his fists possessed the power to shatter small asteroids. His former subordinates unanimously called that move Galactic Star Burst.
And they said that the explosion of a certain small asteroid in the Twin Stars system in the past was due to Astre's fists.
Whether this was true or not could no longer be verified. The Skrull soldiers who survived that great explosion all died one after another not long after returning to the Skrull Empire, with the test results indicating radiation exposure from some special substance.
"Welcome back, Baltan, Gesra." Shafrin, seated at the head of the table, stood up and opened his arms to welcome their return.
"Shafrin, we need to talk about Thanos's sudden interference and our position," Baltan said directly, stating the purpose of his return.
"I know, but please don't be so hasty. Not until we've dealt with the rats inside." Shafrin's meaningful tone made Baltan and Gesra frown. Several crisp sounds immediately drew their attention.
Dozens of blue crystals, shimmering enchantingly in the sunlight, shattered the glass and landed at their feet. The surge of energy instantly changed their expressions!
Boom!!!!
The earth-shattering explosion completely conquered the ears of everyone on U40 Planet. Under Beckett's defiant gaze, the towering building collapsed!
