The Seventh Base

Chapter 837: Chapter 154: The Great Thief

The president of Krusu Star is named Linton, and recently he has been very uneasy.

Previously, Camp Star was attacked by Mandala Star, and afterward, communication was lost. The subsequent news was received through the Star System Alliance: Camp Star had been utterly devastated.

The President’s Mansion was attacked, the president and all Federation officials perished under the warship assault. Simultaneously, Camp Star’s warships also disappeared, and its military base suffered a devastating blow.

This war carries an eerie air; previously, Camp Star claimed an invasion by Mandala Star, but later through war footage from Camp Star, it was seen that it was not Mandala Star ships that destroyed Camp Star, but the interstellar thief, Black God Fleet.

Their warships bore skulls and sword-shaped symbols. Through frame analysis, it was apparent that some ships indeed belonged to the Black God Fleet, but strangely, there were also ships that seemed to be of Camp Star’s own fleet; moreover, one warship even resembled one of Krusu Star’s.

Other planets might not have realized, but as a planet that once participated in a joint attack with the Black God Fleet on Byron Star, Krusu Star quickly thought of some things.

The Black God Fleet and Mandala Star’s warships were captured vessels.

The mastermind behind the scenes was Byron Star.

If the suspicions are true, and the current Black God Fleet is being backed by Byron Star, then who will be the next target after Camp Star’s destruction?

The thought alone is terrifying!

President Linton immediately called the Star System Alliance, seeking protection from them but did not disclose the specific reasons. After all, the affair of allying with the Black God Fleet can’t be brought to light. If mentioned, whether the Star System Alliance would dispatch troops is uncertain.

At the same time, President Linton planned to secretly call over to Lucas Star.

It couldn’t be openly shared with the Star System Alliance, but Lucas Star could be informed. Now that Lucas Star and Byron Star have developed a rift, it’s a good opportunity to use this to get Lucas Star to support them.

They obtained Camp Star’s combat data through the Star System Alliance. It seemed Camp Star fell for a trick by Mandala Star’s warships, lured off the planet, captured, then betrayed to attack Camp Star itself, wiping out the President’s Mansion.

Such a mistake must never be repeated.

“Boom…”

While President Linton was still in the President’s Mansion contemplating countermeasures, the mansion suddenly shook violently. His face went pale, like a startled bird, as the ground continuously trembled and alarms blared in the President’s Mansion.

“Mr. President, an enemy attack, to the shelter,” someone rushed in and shouted, seemingly too late to react.

President Linton turned deathly pale, an enemy attack?

So soon, and without any sign, they directly invaded the planet’s interior.

He dashed outside frantically, disregarding his image, as the entire mansion plunged into chaos; everyone was in panic. The news of Camp Star’s demise just arrived, and now Mandala Star’s fleet has reached their planet?

Lightning warfare?

Without any respite, and even more terrifyingly, there were no prior alerts at the President’s Mansion, they just attacked directly.

In the capital of Krusu Star, countless people looked up to the sky. A fleet of warships hung above the firmament like doomsday reapers, coming to judge the Lucas Star Capital.

This time, there were no conspiracies, no other tactics; the Black God Fleet chose a direct assault.

The Star System Alliance should have just been distracted by Camp Star, so attacking Krusu Star from another direction posed little risk.

Furthermore, this time it was a direct assault.

Above the firmament, beams of lasers descended, striking the capital of Krusu Star. General Clay of Krusu Star was present, and the fleet immediately locked onto military targets for precision strikes.

Ground weapons fired wildly, and warships and fighter jets took off to engage in a firefight with the airborne fleet. However, the suppressive power of over twenty warships was terrifying, especially the Sword Battleship at the highest altitude. Its vortex lasers simultaneously unleashed, like heaven and earth collapsing, bombarding Krusu Star’s armed forces with crushing momentum.

“Buzz…”

A shrill horn resounded on Krusu Star, the sound of surrender. Shortly after the battle commenced, Krusu Star’s fleet and armed forces were mostly destroyed, continuing to fight would mean complete annihilation.

Krusu Star blew the surrender horn.

A surrender flag appeared at the President’s Mansion.

Aboard the main ship, Xu Mo looked at Clay beside him and said, “General Clay predicted correctly, the President’s Mansion indeed surrendered.”

They had intentionally not attacked the President’s Mansion.

“President Linton has multiple wives and a large family, with dozens of descendants. He is not young anymore and is very afraid of dying, so he was bound to surrender,” Clay remarked.

Xu Mo glanced at him with a smile, a smile that made Clay somewhat nervous. He thought of himself; had he not been part of the surrender faction?

Was Xu Mo’s gaze implying something?

“I permit General Clay to go bring his family aboard the warship,” Xu Mo smiled and said, “Besides, Mr. Clay still needs to do something for me. Invite Krusu Star’s top research team to ‘visit’ the warship. Of course, for their good life, invite their families too.”

The President’s Mansion was captured, not destroyed, so accomplishing this shouldn’t be difficult.

The warship continued descending, with people successively emerging from the hatch, fully armed, heading to accept Krusu Star’s fleet, and others proceeding to the President’s Mansion.
