As the T2 Bee Queen-class Heavy Carrier Starship entered the atmosphere of Little Dragon Main Star, Interstellar Drones were deployed. The combat power of these Interstellar Drones was overwhelming on the surface. Ordinary combat mechs were no match for them. They could easily circle the planet within ten minutes!
On the Bridge of the T2 Bee Queen, a list lay before Wendy Chase.
This was a mission Zachary Chase had given her: after the T2 Bee Queen entered Little Dragon Main Star, all the people on the list were to be 'invited' to the Chase Family Residence.
Wendy still remembered a line Zachary had said at the time.
"If you can't invite them alive, dead ones will do."
This list naturally comprised all the families who supported the Bao Family and Cui Family in this assassination plot.
The Interstellar Drones that had just been deployed were heading straight for the residences of these families; they were going to 'invite people'.
"Sister Charlotte, this starship will be under your command later. I will take a shuttle to the Chase Family Residence," Wendy said.
"Understood. Leave this to me," Charlotte nodded. "However, just in case, I will arrange a team of Interstellar Drones to follow you remotely to ensure your safety."
"Alright."
Wendy left the Bridge and went to the hangar to board the shuttle.
A shuttle is actually a small interstellar transport ship, usually capable of carrying three to ten people, with very limited cargo space, and unable to perform long-distance galaxy travel. However, because an interstellar warship cannot land after entering a planet's atmosphere, they generally transfer to such shuttles to reach their final destination.
Shuttles are very small; the smallest are about the size of a car, making them more than sufficient to be carried within a starship.
At this moment, Wendy piloted this shuttle away from the T2 Bee Queen, and looking at the familiar scenery on the planet's surface, she quickly arrived at a secluded mountain range. From a distance, a residence nestled among the mountains could be seen, enveloped by a layer of light barrier. That was her destination.
The Chase Family Residence.
Wendy's shuttle hovered outside the light barrier, and inside the barrier, combat mechs were aiming their weapons at her.
"I am Wendy Chase, the Third Miss of the Chase family. The situation is under our control. You can lower the energy shield now," Wendy shouted through the shuttle's loudspeaker.
But there was no movement from inside for a long time. It seemed they were still doubting Wendy's identity.
Wendy, feeling helpless, set the automatic hover mode, then opened the shuttle's front hatch and stood up directly, allowing the people inside the light barrier to see her clearly.
Not long after, the light barrier dropped.
"It's really the Third Miss!"
"The Third Miss is back?"
"Just now, I saw the Third Miss's shuttle seemed to fly down from that Aircraft Carrier Starship. Could that be the reinforcements the Third Miss brought?"
In the main courtyard of the Chase Family Residence, the originally frightened Chase family members were now surprised and delighted, yet also puzzled about the current situation.
Seeing the light barrier close, Wendy piloted the shuttle and landed directly in the main courtyard of the Chase Family Residence.
She stepped out of the shuttle.
The Chase family members immediately gathered around her.
"Miss Wendy, what exactly is going on?"
"What's with that Aircraft Carrier Starship?"
"Third Miss, something big has happened in our Little Dragon Star System! The Bao Family and Cui Family are rebelling and even tried to attack you!"
Wendy looked at the surrounding Chase family members and said directly, "The situation is basically under control now. As long as everyone stays in the Chase Family Residence, there will be no danger."
"Wendy, what exactly happened? I heard that the Bao Family and Cui Family hired an interstellar pirate fleet to attack you and Zachary. How did you end up here? Didn't you encounter that interstellar pirate fleet?" Old Madam Chase walked out, leaning on her dragon-headed cane. The Chase family members who had been chattering around Wendy all wisely stopped talking.
"My brother and I, piloting two starships, have completely annihilated that interstellar pirate fleet near Dragon Tail Star," Wendy said.
At these words, the entire Chase family erupted.
"That interstellar pirate fleet was annihilated?"
"I heard that interstellar pirate fleet had a total of thirty-five starships, including five T2-class starships. Two mere starships wiped them out?"
"How is that possible…"
Most people did not believe Wendy's words. In fact, if she hadn't experienced it herself, if Wendy had heard this, she probably wouldn't have believed it herself.
"There's no time to explain now. My brother is currently commanding the Blizzard Zero outside Little Dragon Main Star, clearing out the starships that followed the Bao Family and Cui Family. He asked me to command the T2 Bee Queen to first control Little Dragon Main Star. Second Grandma, please rest assured, everything is under our control." Wendy looked respectfully at the old madam before her.
In terms of status, this Old Madam Chase was actually higher than Zachary, the current lord. Because she was the younger sister of Zachary's grandfather. But due to personal reasons, she never married and has lived until now, still hale and hearty.
"Zachary is back too? And commanding starship combat?" Old Madam Chase was surprised.
The eyes of the surrounding Chase family members also showed some surprise. One must know that he was the useless Baron known throughout the Little Dragon Star System, possessing no abilities other than being able to read a few books. Now he's commanding starship combat? Don't joke around.
Wendy noticed the looks from the surrounding people, and her expression turned somewhat grim.
"Second Grandma, please wait a moment. My brother will be here soon," Wendy said.
This wait lasted for about half an hour.
At this time, everyone witnessed an astonishing sight.
Two more interstellar warships simultaneously fell from outside the atmosphere, their hulls burning, with multiple signs of damage, and even a very obvious large hole in the hull of one of them.
"It looks like the starships of the Bao Family and Cui Family! It's a T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer and a T2 Gray Wolf-class Light Star Cruiser!" Someone recognized the two starships and exclaimed.
As these two starships fell, they crashed separately into a desert and a mountain range, and the resulting explosions created a large shockwave, but they did not affect the Chase Family Residence.
Just as the Chase family members were still surprised by this event, a shuttle landed at the Chase Family Residence at some unknown time. This one was larger than Wendy's.
The hatch opened.
A team of female soldiers dressed in combat suits emerged, followed by a man whom the Chase family members present could not be more familiar with.
The Baron of the Little Dragon Star System, Zachary Chase.
The female soldiers, holding laser guns, escorted Zachary through the crowd of Chase family members. Each female soldier had sharp, murderous eyes, causing the Chase family members to involuntarily clear a path.
Zachary ignored the other Chase family members and walked directly to Old Madam Chase, kneeling on one knee, hands clasped, "Your unfilial grandson Zachary Chase is late and has caused Second Grandma to be frightened."
