The Seventh Base

Chapter 1128: Chapter 174: Counterattack

Half a year later, Xu Mo’s use of spiritual power became increasingly strong. If he were to battle Gao Mu again, his spiritual attack would cause Gao Mu even more trouble.

However, during this time, since he was cultivating in the Mystic God Temple, no conflicts occurred with Gao Mu, and Gao Mu became much more low-key, not causing any trouble. It seemed as though both sides were suddenly at peace.

But everyone in the Mystic God Temple knew that something was brewing.

The conflict between the two had become a matter of life and death. If given the chance, they would try to kill each other.

Furthermore, the development of Blue Star Technology had entirely moved underground, no longer operating under the name of Blue Star Technology, making it less likely to be targeted.

Ross and Ye Qingdie were trapped on Chloe Star, and the affairs of various planets were taken over by Lincoln, who was responsible for the operations of Blue Star Technology. Lincoln, being the second-in-command of Skull Star, had undeniable capabilities.

Komlin Star in the Chloe Star Province, located relatively central in the Chloe Province, was not too far from Chloe Star.

Komlin Star also experienced the turmoil of war, with a relatively chaotic situation. However, it was much better than Akron Star, which suffered destructive war impacts. This planet wasn’t as severely affected.

Nevertheless, due to this, there was a high demand for weapons and equipment among the people of the planet, especially the wealthy, who were frantically purchasing advanced weapons to protect themselves. In times of war, possessing powerful mecha and Battle Armor significantly increased survival chances.

Many of the upper echelons used certain means for interstellar migration, heading to Chloe Star in the center of the province.

The Bern Group was the largest arms dealer on this planet and was also the local overlord.

At the Komlin Star Governor’s Mansion, a banquet was being held.

The Governor’s daughter’s birthday banquet was extremely luxurious, and the guests were all important figures on the planet, including the hidden giant of the Bern Group, the head of the Bern Family.

Besides the head of the Bern Family, the banquet also had the presence of Tang Mo, a direct descendant of the Tang Family from Chloe Star.

In the outer perimeter of the Governor’s Mansion, many civilians passed by, watching various flying devices continuously fly into the airspace of the Governor’s Mansion, many feeling emotional.

Amidst the chaos of war, while the planet was fraught with crisis, countless people struggled in hardship, yet it didn’t affect the Governor’s Mansion’s extravagance in the slightest.

The ‘Princess’ of the Governor’s Mansion had a birthday banquet that must have cost a fortune.

In the banquet.

Today’s main character, Klay, was dressed in luxurious attire, shining brightly. She had golden hair, and her blue eyes were as dazzling as jewels. Having lived in privilege and under constant attention since young, although she was only the Governor’s daughter, she was acclaimed as the princess of Komlin Star.

On this planet, the Governor was like a local king.

An alliance of formidable powers between the Governor’s Mansion, the Bern Group, and some mysterious forces made the Governor’s position unshakeable.

The O’Brian Republic Leader founded the republic’s foundation, but with ongoing interstellar wars in the universe, even though many planets were conquered, they could only be autonomous, and the republic found it difficult to cater to all sides. Especially now with the ongoing war against the Kales Empire, there was no attention to spare for others.

Thus, chaos abounded.

On the various planets of the O’Brian Republic, each planet had different situations.

On some planets, the Governor’s Mansion was nominal, overthrown by local top powers. On others, the Church’s influence surpassed that of the Governor’s Mansion.

Of course, some planets, like Komlin Star, had an alliance between the Governor’s Mansion and major forces, making their position unshakeable.

“Miss Klay, happy birthday.” Tang Mo stepped forward to present a gift to Klay, a gift box containing a gem.

“It’s very beautiful, thank you, Mr. Tang,” Miss Klay said, smiling as she accepted the gift.

“This is a natural Source Power Gem from the universe. It can continuously absorb Source Power to nourish the body. Mr. Tang, you’ve been very generous,” said the Governor of Komlin Star, stepping forward to express his gratitude.

“This Source Power Gem is just barely worthy of Miss Klay’s noble status,” Tang Mo said with a smile. Subsequently, people from various forces began presenting their gifts and congratulations.

“Tang Mo and Miss Klay are of similar age, they should spend more time together,” said a stern-looking middle-aged man with short hair standing next to Tang Mo with a smile. He was from the military but not from Komlin Star’s military.

“As long as Klay is willing, I definitely won’t oppose,” the Governor said in a hearty laugh. Of course, these were just polite words. There were many direct descendants of the Tang Family, and Tang Mo, stationed as a core member on Komlin Star, was not considered the heir of the Tang Family, hardly worthy of his princess.

However, due to their deep mutual interests, it was natural to show respect. Words didn’t require accountability.

Just then, the Governor’s communicator on Komlin Star vibrated, and upon answering, his expression slightly changed.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Mo asked, “Governor, did something happen?”

“We’ve detected an unknown energy wave, suggesting an unidentified starship may have entered the planet’s interior,” the Governor said. Komlin Star was just one of the planets in the Chloe Province and didn’t have a comprehensive defensive space station.

Setting up a space station required massive investment in manpower and resources and a very high level of technology, possible only for an Advanced Civilization Star. The republic clearly couldn’t allocate such massive resources on Komlin Star.

“Can’t it be tracked?” the short-haired middle-aged man, named Keith, asked with a frown. He was from the military authorities of the Chloe Province and stationed in Komlin Star.

“The other side probably has a rather powerful jamming device. Komlin Star’s signal detection capabilities may be lacking, but it could be one or two small starships, otherwise, they couldn’t avoid visual detection,” the Governor stated. “I’ve already ordered the defenses to be prepared, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

“Do you need any assistance?” Keith asked.

“There’s no need,” the Governor said.

“Today is Miss Klay’s birthday party, let’s not spoil the mood. Everyone, please continue.” The Bern Family’s representative smiled and said, instantly getting nods from the crowd, understanding the Governor’s intention.

The birthday party of his daughter must not be disrupted.

Keith didn’t say much either. Although Komlin Star is not as powerful as Chloe Star, it still possesses considerable military strength; a few small starships wouldn’t be able to attack the Governor’s Mansion.

As for invading the planet, that’s even more of a joke unless the Kales Empire army invades.

If the Kales Empire’s army came, things wouldn’t be so calm; they would have launched attacks in space.

The party was filled with performances, vibrant and lively.

Meanwhile, above Komlin Star, within the clouds, a fleet moved in formation towards a certain direction.

The fleet was silent and elusive, basically in an ‘invisible’ state, employing Byron Star’s latest cloaking technology, a step above previous standards.

The Gosi Civilization belongs to an advanced civilization, with developed technology. Komlin Star’s technological level is evidently lacking; even though they possess some of the Republic’s technology, there’s still a gap with the Republic’s core tech, thus only detecting weak fluctuations without being able to pinpoint.

Within the command ship of this small fleet, Commander Allen was from Byron Star. The war that occurred in Byron Star deeply influenced the young generation, prompting countless people to pursue military careers, aspiring to roam the skies one day.

Xu Mo had long become a national idol on Byron Star, driving countless individuals to strive towards his example.

Allen was one of them; he graduated from the Capital Royal Academy of Byron Star, an outstanding transcendent, joining the military after graduation, where he demonstrated exceptional military prowess, achieving remarkable results in various aspects.

At this moment, Allen was somewhat excited; it was his first battle since entering space, and he must complete the mission flawlessly.

Someday he would meet his idol; he had to have some achievements to show for it, otherwise he’d be embarrassed in front of his idol.

“Target locked.” someone spoke in front.

Erin’s eyes flickered with excitement, yet her inner self calmed down gradually. As an excellent commander, she must maintain absolute calm at all times, making the best judgments.

“Is there a possibility of being discovered?” Allen asked.

“No,” the operator confirmed.

“Good,” Allen nodded, then spoke, “Is everyone ready?”

“Ready and waiting.”

“Alright.”

Voices echoed out.

“Follow my command; continue approaching the target. Execute a precise strike, ensuring a hit with one shot. After one round of attacks, regardless of the outcome, retreat immediately at the fastest speed,” Allen ordered.

“Yes,” the crowd responded.

“Locked on, locked on…”

“Attack.”

As Allen’s words fell, beams of strong light descended from the sky onto a ground location, targeting a joint base of the Bern Group and the Tang Family.

Powerful laser beams struck different parts of the base instantly, delivering devastating blows.

Meanwhile, at the Governor’s Mansion party.

As everyone indulged in the party atmosphere, the Governor, the head of the Bern Family, Tang Mo, and Keith received news simultaneously, and their faces turned grim.

A fleet indeed entered the planet’s interior, but not with the intent to attack the planet, nor was the target the Governor’s Mansion; however, their base was destroyed.

“Damn it,” the head of the Bern Family roared in fury.

Keith turned immediately, heading towards the flying device, while simultaneously taking out the communicator to issue orders.

At the same time, in Komlin Star’s military base, anti-air weapons were prepared for firing, along with starships unleashing powerful energy light.

Tang Mo entered the starship with a gloomy expression.

Having attacked the Bern Group base, his first thought was Blue Star Technology’s fleet; they actually dared to strike back?

Recently, Blue Star Technology Group had almost vanished, becoming underground rats, evading their relentless pursuit.

Are they intending to fight to the death?

Xu Mo should still be trapped in the Mystic God Temple, afraid to come out, so how could they dare to go on the offensive? Who’s commanding the battle?

Well, good then, let them all perish!
