The Seventh Base

Chapter 839: Chapter 155: The Water Runs Deep

Lucas Star, Star System Alliance.

The Star System Alliance executive council virtual meeting is currently underway, attended personally by King Richard of Lucas Star.

In the meeting room, seven illusory three-dimensional projections appeared, representing the seven executive councilors, the highest leaders of the Star System Alliance.

Each one bore an aura of authority.

It can be said that these seven rule the current Star System Alliance, and the fleets of the seven forces, combined, exceed the total of all other member planet fleets of the Star System Alliance.

If war breaks out, the seven executive councilor stars can engage all other members of the Star System Alliance.

Status comes from strength.

“King Richard, you’ve called this meeting, is there something important to discuss?” A figure spoke, the King of Sasi Kingdom, his bushy brows and big eyes under a crown, exuding an air of majesty.

“Regarding the Mandala Star Alliance Army, the alliance forces have begun deploying towards Odin Mountain Star. Odin Mountain Star must not fall. If necessary, I believe the Star System Alliance’s United Fleet could engage the Mandala United Kingdom Fleet in direct combat at Odin Mountain Star,” King Richard stated.

“Odin Mountain Star is an energy planet, indeed very important, we can’t let the Mandala Fleet have it. I agree with King Richard’s suggestion. The war has been going on for over a year now. Mandala Star has occupied multiple planets, and their fleet forces have begun to disperse. It’s the right time, we should have a direct confrontation; otherwise, the planets of the Star System Alliance will all be lost, and when that happens, surrender will be rampant, which would be disadvantageous for us,” the King of Sasi Kingdom said.

Most of the lost planets are those with relatively weak strength, and they have not actually launched any counterattacks nor retaken those planets. Sacrifices are inevitable in war.

Therefore, it is necessary to sacrifice some planets. Since the Mandala Star Alliance Army has occupied these planets, it must have stationed fleets as well. It benefits Mandala Star but also carries disadvantages; the same applies to them.

Now, the Mandala Star Fleet seems to have plans for Odin Mountain Star.

“Odin Mountain Star has no natural barriers, perhaps the Mandala United Kingdom intentionally luring our alliance forces to start a war. I think we should let them attack Odin Mountain Star. If they capture it, the Odin Mountain Star Mandala Fleet will inevitably station some of their fleet to guard it. Currently, Mandala Star’s power is already very dispersed; we can then eliminate their fleet at Odin Mountain Star, and even if we encounter reinforcements from Mandala Star, we will be in a leading position,” the King of Prins said. “On the contrary, direct support would be very passive.”

“The King of Prins’s idea seems a bit insidious. Odin Mountain Star is also a member of the Alliance and has always provided energy to the Alliance,” the King of Sasi Kingdom retorted.

“This is war,” the King of Prins countered. “If you are so righteous, why didn’t the Sasi Kingdom provide support for those planets that were attacked earlier.”

The so-called alliance is all built on the basis of self-interest.

At necessary moments, allies can be sacrificed.

Because of this, the executive council meeting is an entirely different atmosphere and must not be revealed to the outside; otherwise, the order of the Star System Alliance will face collapse.

But these giants, of course, first consider their own interests.

“I agree with the King of Prins’s opinion,” the King of Baloma Kingdom spoke up.

“What about the others?” King Richard asked. The Star System Alliance executive council meeting has a total of seven votes, and in case of differing opinions, the decision is made based on the number of votes.

“Agree with the King of Prins,” the Canaan Star Leader said.

“I also agree with the King of Prins,” others continuously voiced.

Only the King of Carolan Star remained silent, and King Richard did not express any stance, but the King of Prins’s viewpoint already garnered four votes, thus the result was decided.

Currently, only the King of Sasi Kingdom is willing to provide advance support.

The King of Sasi Kingdom looked at those illusory faces, sneering inwardly; he was aware of the matters between his son Sal and Xu Mo among the successors, where several planets are alliances, even excluding King Richard, they should have four votes.

However, currently no one showed clear support for Odin Mountain Star.

This is interest; passive engagement results in greater losses.

So, Odin Mountain Star is to be sacrificed first.

Whatever fate awaits Odin Mountain Star is unknown.

Nevertheless, since this decision has been made, there’s nothing more to say; the seven executive councilors of the Star System Alliance must still abide by the rules, and failure to do so would mean the alliance couldn’t be maintained.

If the alliance can’t be maintained, it’s a dead end, and the Mandala Star Fleet won’t show any mercy.

“There’s a second matter,” King Richard continued to speak. “Regarding the Black God Fleet’s attack on Camp Star’s four major planets, did you notice anything unusual?”

“What does King Richard mean?” the King of Baloma Kingdom asked.

“These four planets were once among those that invaded Byron Star,” King Richard said. “Moreover, I received information that previously the Black God Fleet attacked Byron Star, but Byron Star took them down. Now, the interstellar thief Black God Fleet rampaging in the universe is no longer the old Black God Fleet, but rather the Byron Star Black God Fleet led by Xu Mo.”

After hearing the news, the others went silent as if digesting the news, although some had already suspected it before.
