The Seventh Base

Chapter 846: Chapter 158: Fishing in Troubled Waters (Part 2)

“Who taught him this ability?” King Richard asked. The disappearance of the Skywalker made him think of Xu Mo’s strength. His combat prowess was also extremely formidable, and now his Source Power Level had reached S-level.

So, could it be…

If Byron Star had a Skywalker, it must be related to Xu Mo.

“He never mentioned it,” Elizabeth responded.

“Think carefully, do you have any memories regarding the Skywalker?” King Richard continued to ask.

Elizabeth pondered for a moment and continued, “No.”

“Hmm.” King Richard didn’t say much more and said, “Elizabeth, take good care of your health.”

“Thank you, Father,” Elizabeth replied politely. Their relationship had become somewhat delicate, lacking the previous harmony.

In the past, the father-daughter relationship between King Richard and Elizabeth was very close and not so formal, but some subtle changes had occurred without them noticing.

After hanging up the Communicator, Elizabeth, who was at the Lucas University Library, appeared pensive. Why was her father asking these questions?

The person who taught Xu Mo?

She had never considered this question before. Moreover, her father mentioned the Skywalker.

Could it be that her father suspected Xu Mo had a Skywalker behind him?

Thinking of this, Elizabeth’s face turned a bit pale, as if she had guessed something.

Since King Richard suspected that Xu Mo had a Skywalker behind him, it meant he had already done something and encountered a Skywalker.

Her father might have already taken action against Xu Mo.

……

In the outer space of Lancelot Star.

Xu Mo’s fleet had arrived. They didn’t act immediately but were waiting for news from the communication department.

At this time, in the main ship’s conference room, Xu Mo and Wood were studying the star map with their group.

This star map contained the positions of all the planets recorded in the Star System Alliance, with the planets currently occupied by Mandala Star marked.

He had already received the news that the Star System Alliance’s fleet had set off for Odin Mountain Star. Mandala Star was forcing the Star System Alliance to engage in direct conflict, and Xu Mo saw this as a great opportunity for them, a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Earlier news reported that a Skywalker appeared on Byron Star. Although Xu Mo was excited about Qiong’s strength, this matter filled Xu Du with fury. Previously, he had received news that there was a motion at Lucas Star to deal with Byron Star, which was voted down.

Then, this Skywalker was most likely the Skywalker from Lucas Star.

King Richard had started using underhanded tactics against them, fostering Xu Mo’s strong distrust and even rejection of the Star System Alliance.

Now, for him, Mandala Star and Lucas Star were no different. If either side grew stronger, they would eventually turn against Byron Star, placing Byron Star in a very awkward position.

Therefore, Xu Mo hoped that they would engage in a full-scale war to deplete each other’s strength, allowing them to profit in silence.

“Xu Mo.” At this time, Soto and Sorey walked over, calling out to him.

Xu Mo turned his head to look at the two, only to hear Soto say, “The Mandala Star Fleet has launched an attack on Odin Mountain Star. At the same time, the Star System Alliance’s fleet has arrived, and both sides have already started close contact. Odin Mountain Star chose to surrender.”

They followed Xu Mo’s suggestion, allowing those stationed on Odin Mountain Star to surrender directly.

“Hmm.” Xu Mo nodded, his expression serious, as Soto and Sorey’s moods were probably not good, considering their planet was invaded and surrendered directly.

Their fleet, following Xu Mo’s fleet, could receive first-hand news from Odin Mountain Star in real-time.

“The Mandala Star Fleet took Odin Mountain Star before the full-scale battle erupted, allowing them to rest and resupply behind Odin Mountain Star,” Xu Mo said.

“That should be the case,” Soto nodded.

Xu Mo stepped towards the control room and said, “Order an attack on Lancelot Star.”

“Yes.” The fleet headed straight for Lancelot Star, the first planet on Xu Mo’s blacklist. Years ago, it was Lancelot Star that incited a series of conflicts on Byron Star.

The proud Lancelot Star People never regarded the Byron Star People as equals.

Today, let them feel the same.

“Mr. Xu Mo, there’s a call from the communications department,” someone said, directly connecting the call as they spoke.

“This is the Byron Star Communication Department, is Captain Xu Mo there?” a voice came through.

“I am here,” Xu Mo replied.

“According to the latest news, the Mandala Star United Kingdom’s fleet and the Star System Alliance’s United Fleet have started a battle outside Odin Mountain Star. Additionally, the Star System Alliance is summoning warships from various planets for support and has ordered Byron Star’s warships to the frontline. Likewise, the Mandala Star United Kingdom is summoning fleets for the battlefield, and a large-scale war is likely to erupt,” the communication department relayed.

“Understood, ignore the Star System Alliance’s demands, continue to monitor the latest developments and report at any time,” Xu Mo said.

“Yes,” the other party responded.

The United Fleet of the Star System Alliance initially wanted to avoid war, but circumstances had forced them into a full-scale conflict, which was precisely the outcome Xu Mo wanted to see.

“Two warships are preparing to leave Lancelot Star,” the signal monitor in the command room stated.

“Intercept them,” Xu Mo responded, and the massive fleet headed straight in one direction.

Soon, the two warships, on their way to the Odin Mountain Star Battlefield, were intercepted directly in space by the mighty fleet.

These two warships belonged to Lancelot Star, but they had been commandeered by Mandala Star, with orders to head to the battlefield.

Commander Roman, a Lancelot Star native, saw the surrounding warships and heard the piercing alarms in the command room with a grim face.

“Captain Roman, we’ve lost the signal,”

This voice made Roman feel desperate. A hissing sound rang out, followed by the screen showing Wood’s face.

“I’m Wood of the Black God Fleet, ordering you to surrender immediately. The Black God Fleet will take over the warships, or be destroyed on the spot,” Wood’s voice came through. Roman’s face turned grim, and he looked at the person beside him, a Mandala Star native.

He stepped forward and said, “I am Lake, a Lieutenant Colonel of Mandala Star. You are now surrounding a Mandala Star fleet, please leave immediately.”

Lake’s tone was somewhat arrogant and cold. Even in front of a large fleet, he remained assertive, seemingly wanting to intimidate the Black God Fleet.

“Destroy it.”

Xu Mo, standing beside Wood, spoke.

Lake was momentarily stunned by the voice, and Xu Mo’s face also appeared on the screen. When Lancelot Star Captain Roman saw that face, his expression turned pale; it was Xu Mo.

Roman knew well the relationship between Xu Mo and Lancelot Star. The Black God Fleet was his, and now, bringing the Black God Fleet to launch an attack, there would be no diplomacy.

Lancelot Star was finished.

Just as this thought entered his mind, beams of light suddenly lit up in space, striking his warship in an instant, and the next moment, the warship was directly pierced by powerful fire.

After taking down one warship, the other warship quickly became obedient and surrendered without hesitation.

The overwhelming fleet directly entered Lancelot Star. Lancelot Star initially tried to resist, but after a round of bombardment, Lancelot Star President’s Mansion also chose to surrender.

After receiving Lancelot Star’s weapons, the fleet sailed away directly, destroying Lancelot Star President’s Mansion before departure, thus ending the era of Lancelot Star.

In space, the fleet left Lancelot Star.

“Captain, where to next?”

“To Odin Mountain Star Battlefield,” Xu Mo said. By now the battle on both sides should have broken out, and he hoped this fight would be more intense.

In this way, they’d have an opportunity to hunt.

Hearing Xu Mo’s words, those in the control room showed a hint of surprise.

Is the fleet heading to Odin Mountain Star Battlefield now?

By now, a massive battle was surely breaking out there.
