The Seventh Base

Chapter 845: Chapter 158: Fishing in Troubled Waters

The situation on Odin Mountain Star has become exceptionally tense, with the Mandala Star Fleet openly appearing on the outskirts, effectively blockading Odin Mountain Star.

They are declaring war, actively instigating a frontal battle with the Alliance Army of the Star System Alliance.

Even if the Star System Alliance wanted to continue concealing the news, they couldn’t; after Odin Mountain Star was surrounded, the Alliance Army of the Star System Alliance was ‘forced’ to provide support.

This also interrupted the previous plans of the Star System Alliance’s executive committee members, who had intended to act only after the Mandala Star Fleet had occupied Odin Mountain Star, but unexpectedly, Mandala Star actually waited for them on purpose.

Lucas Star, King Richard was somewhat unsettled.

The Skywalker who went to Byron Star has not returned, nor has there been any news, as if sinking into the sea.

He sent people to inquire, and heard that a fierce battle erupted over Chuanxing City, but afterward, the information seemed to be deliberately sealed by Chuanxing City. No one knew what happened in that battle; President Liu Feng remained active in public, yet the Skywalker sent to Byron Star disappeared.

A being at the level of a Skywalker, on Byron Star, would be invincible, how could there be an accident?

However, everything seemed normal over there on Byron Star, and President Liu Feng was fine, so who can tell him what happened?

Moreover, this matter cannot be openly inquired about; should he publicly state that he sent someone to Byron Star for an assassination mission?

That Skywalker from the Cross Judgment Institute was a senior figure in the Richard Family, holding an esteemed position, and on Lucas Star, he was also an exceptionally transcendent presence; now, people from the family have been sent to inquire with him.

What exactly happened?

If they lost a Skywalker, it would be a disaster for the family.

A being of such calibre, even on Lucas Star, counting the one who disappeared, there are only three in total.

Their powerful technological military strength, along with the three Skywalkers, are crucial for Lucas Star to dominate the Star System Alliance, none of which can be lacking. Without the presence of a Skywalker, Lucas Star’s status would be unstable.

Without a Skywalker, their family cannot maintain their royal position to control Byron Star.

Now, one of the family’s only two Skywalkers is missing.

This made King Richard somewhat uneasy; this matter is extremely serious because it was his initiated action.

Moreover, he dares not act rashly, sending the family’s other Skywalker out; what if a similar situation occurs again?

What’s more, the family’s other Skywalker is probably not someone he can ask to move.

Besides, the war on Odin Mountain Star also gives him a headache; Mandala Star wants to seize them for a frontal battle and deliberately chose Odin Mountain Star as the battlefield.

In the current war scenario, all major planets are watching; Mandala Star uses Odin Mountain Star as a threat to demand battle. If the Star System Alliance’s United Fleet does not send help, all planets might see through their facade, and at that time, if members of the Star System Alliance surrender to the Mandala Star United Kingdom one by one, it will be a catastrophe for the Star System Alliance.

Therefore, this war must be fought.

Currently, they are already assembling the Alliance Army, preparing to deploy their strongest forces to attempt to crush the Mandala Star Fleet on the front lines with one strike.

This battle will be their first frontal confrontation and cannot be lost.

At this moment, King Richard’s communicator vibrated; he glanced at the name, frowned slightly, but still answered.

“Richard.” An elderly voice came through, addressing King Richard by name rather than calling him His Majesty.

“Uncle.” King Richard called out, knowing the caller was a senior figure in the family and understanding why they were contacting him.

“Still no news?” The old voice asked once more from the communicator’s other end; King Richard replied, “None.”

“Send someone to Byron Star to investigate,” the elder said.

“I have already ordered an unofficial investigation. Once results are available, I will inform the family immediately,” King Richard responded.

“Richard, as far as I know, Xu Mo and Elizabeth have a good relationship, right?” the elder continued questioning, causing King Richard’s expression to change slightly, as this was a challenge to his competence.

Previously, Xu Mo and Elizabeth indeed were very close; he even tried to match them, but Xu Mo continually refused, eventually taking a rival stance.

“Xu Mo acquired high-level civilization technology and poses a threat to us; I have given him several chances,” King Richard said.

“Very well, inform me when you have news,” the elder said, then hung up the communicator, leaving Richard’s eyes glinting coldly, cursing this old man.

Now beginning to interfere in his affairs.

The Elder Council of the family typically do not intervene in state affairs; when he ascended to the position of king, everything revolved around him.

However, due to the disappearance of the Skywalker, he has started facing scrutiny.

A Skywalker is the lifeblood of the family.

Richard dialed another communication number, and the recipient answered.

“Father.” A clear voice sounded; it was Elizabeth, who is still studying at Lucas University, although Xu Mo and the others are no longer present.

“Elizabeth, I want to ask if you knew Xu Mo, has he ever mentioned a certain matter?” King Richard asked.

“What matter?” Elizabeth was somewhat curious, wondering what her father wanted to ask?
