The Seventh Base

Chapter 853: Chapter 162: Exposure

The decisive battle between Mandala Star and the Galactic Alliance left both sides severely weakened.

The Alliance Army of the Galactic Alliance suffered heavy losses in this battle and retreated.

Although Mandala Star emerged victorious, their rear units were destroyed, and their damaged warships, which could have been repaired and reused, largely disappeared. Left with no choice, the Mandala Star United Kingdom had to temporarily retract and mobilize reinforcements from Mandala Star United Kingdom, at least needing the logistics units to catch up, or else no one would be left to repair their warships.

This also means that in the short term, the Mandala Star United Kingdom cannot initiate a war.

Due to Mandala Star’s retraction, many occupied planets fell into a state of ownerlessness. Their military forces, mostly conscripted to participate in the war and exploited by Mandala Star, led these planets into an era of chaos. Various elites and financial tycoon forces began to fight, trying to seize control of the planets.

And this was not an isolated case but a widespread situation. The Galactic Alliance previously had over a hundred planets fall.

Planets like Camp Star, Lancelot Star, and others faced the same situation, with Xu Mo’s fleet destroying the upper echelon forces of these planets, naturally leading them into a chaotic era.

The Alliance Army of the Galactic Alliance suffered severe losses from a single battle, and each planet had its thoughts. They let their fleets return as the defeat led to disunity, no longer as harmonious as before.

The entire Star Alliance entered an era of chaos due to a single war.

The armed forces of each planet began to frantically procure weapons, especially high-level weapons. In such chaotic times, whether for power struggles or defense, weapons were necessary.

If they were unavailable locally, they would procure from other planets, such as the Seven Permanent Councilor Stars or Byron Star.

Among the Seven Permanent Councilor Stars, several had established Blue Star Energy Technology Group, which was growing increasingly large.

Of course, Byron Star was undoubtedly developing the fastest.

The war had minimal impact on Byron Star, and with the strength of the entire planet developing Blue Star Energy Technology Group, one can imagine how rapid the development was. The scale of the base grew larger, and all supporting facilities were established, forming a powerful military industrial chain.

Byron Star cooperated with many other planets to engage in trade, even equipping air combat forces with weapon systems, and some departments began directly producing fighter jets.

The openness in technology and trade cooperation allowed Byron Star to rapidly master various technologies, and unknowingly, Byron Star had already become the largest military industrial planet in the Galactic Alliance, with production capacity continually increasing.

And at this rate of development, Byron Star might soon be producing warships.

The current Byron Star can truly be described as a prosperous scene.

Byron Star also had natural conditions for this.

It’s impossible to make the people of Lucas Star united as one. Byron Star had experienced an era of humiliation and was now emerging from this era through its own hands. Worship of Xu Mo had also reached its peak, and in such an era, no planet could achieve what Byron Star had done.

In one of Byron Star’s military bases, isolated from the outside world, it was once the location of the Divine Sword Bureau’s base.

At this moment, Xu Mo was inspecting here, and rows of massive warships were lined up, many of which were warships they had plundered. Over the past few months, most of these warships had been repaired and modified, ready to return to the battlefield.

Many people were beside Xu Mo, all high-ranking military officials of Byron Star. Seeing the warships in front of them, they were equally filled with excitement.

How much time has passed?

Byron Star already has such a powerful fleet. With Byron Star’s current military power, even the Permanent Councilor Stars are not feared, and even if Lucas Star dared to attack them now, they had confidence that Lucas Star would have no return.

In fact, as soldiers, they were even eager, hoping that some unwise planet would come and test them, to display their current military prowess.

“Commander Qiu, have you tallied the numbers of various types of warships we have, and what is the current combat power?” Xu Mo asked. He did not concern himself much with political affairs, leaving that entirely to President Liu Feng.

But in military matters, he at least needed to know Byron Star’s current combat power, to be aware and prepared, as no one knew when war might break out again.

“Eight Sword battleships, eight Ion battleships, seven Divine Shield battleships, six Raptor battleships. These are Mandala Star’s warships. The other warships total fifty-one,” Qiu Yuan stated, his voice a bit excited.

Of course, this included several warships from Odin Mountain Star, with Sorey and others now guests in Chuanxing City and promised to restore their nation in the future. Returning to Odin Mountain Star now could be dangerous.

Sorey’s uncle, the King of Odin Mountain Star, temporarily lent them the warships.

In fact, given the current situation of Odin Mountain Star, Xu Mo had no way to forcibly seize them. When they eventually took Odin Mountain Star, not returning the warships would not solve anything. Xu Mo promised them national restoration, and the royal family members of Odin Mountain Star, being smart, naturally handed over the warships.

Upon hearing Qiu Yuan’s tally, Xu Mo realized they had seized twenty-nine warships from Mandala Star, plus fifty-one others, making a total of eighty warships.
