The Seventh Base

Chapter 854: Chapter 162: Exposed (Part 2)

Such combat power, placed in today’s Star System Alliance, is also top-notch, especially after the alliance was weakened. With such changes, their military strength is no weaker than the star of the executive council.

If Lucas Star dares to show Byron Star any hostility, Xu Mo would not be polite either.

“Additionally, our fighter squadrons are also expanding to coordinate with the warships; ground-to-air weapons are the same. Currently, the third superpower reactor weapon is about to be completed, with plans to build ten such weapons on Byron Star within a year. By then, Byron Star will have the power to fight back against any attack,” Qiu Yuan said with enthusiasm. It is no longer a blueprint but a near-realizable military goal.

Byron Star has opened trade with the Star System Alliance, and the Blue Star Energy Technology Group bases on other planets also support it. Byron Star lacks no funds, and the production capacity of Byron Star is getting stronger. Every time they produce weapons and equipment, they immediately sell out.

“As I know, other planets are also beginning to mobilize, speeding up weapon production, and even putting their full effort into building warships. We can’t afford to be careless,” Xu Mo said. In peacetime, it was enough to keep the number of warships of each planet at a level.

Having too many is a waste. If no war occurs, they will be outdated after too long and cost a fortune, but now it’s wartime, and military is the number one priority.

“Yes, so if others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them,” Commander Qiu said, “Time is on our side.”

Xu Mo agreed very much, time is on their side.

Now, the major planets are not even clear about Byron Star’s details, and they are in no hurry, continuing to develop.

“Over in the deep sea, the monsters have also been cleared out. We transported the fighter jets and other weapons back, repaired them a bit, and they are ready for use again. The development of the ion weapon has also made significant progress,” Qiu Yuan continued, and Xu Mo was aware of this, as the carrier was still cultivating in the deep sea.

The Chiyou Battleship is not just a single warship; it comes with a fleet. Now, Byron Star already has the capability to bring back other weapons.

“Don’t stop launching the probes; the space must be filled with our eyes,” Xu Mo said.

Having led the Black God Fleet to raid so many homes, they mustn’t be raided themselves. No matter how strong the fleet is, it still fears an unexpected attack directly bombarding the military base. Lucas Star has a ring of defense systems on the planet’s outskirts; they don’t, so they can only set up detectors to firmly monitor the space area outside Byron Star and extend farther.

“Yes,” Commander Qiu nodded, “Besides that, the army is also intensively training, selecting graduates from the Capital Royal Academy and other advanced academies who are willing to join the military district. These people generally have relatively high quality.”

Having a powerful fleet naturally requires personnel. Previously, Xu Mo felt a bit short-staffed while plundering warships in space, just as Commander Qiu thought, a new generation of forces indeed needs to be cultivated and ready to be put into combat at any time.

Due to advanced technology, training can include simulated combat, studying in a virtual mode. Of course, besides that, psychological quality is also crucial; actual combat and virtual combat are not the same.

The quality of a commander is of utmost importance.

Eighty warships require at least over a hundred commanders.

“Once the detection system is complete, monitor all alien visitors. People from other planets can only enter through the spaceport, with special channels set up for alien visitors to undergo special security checks and detect Source Power Levels,” Xu Mo said, “What happened last time cannot happen again.”

Qiu Yuan nodded in agreement. A Skywalker sneaking into Byron Star was too high a risk. The last Skywalker who came was overconfident, believing themselves invincible on Byron Star, which led to their exposure.

If they hadn’t been exposed, thinking about it made Qiu Yuan a bit scared.

If the Skywalker were to carry out an assassination, who could escape?

Xu Mo left the base. After this battle, the crisis was temporarily resolved, allowing for a period of tranquility.

Give Byron Star a few more years of development, and in this star domain, no planet will be able to shake Byron Star.

……

Several months later, Odin Mountain Star.

The Mandala Star Fleet is stationed here, and this planet is rich in energy.

The Mandala people quickly supported a puppet in another city on Odin Mountain Star, using a few months to subdue the major forces of Odin Mountain Star for easier management of resources for Mandala.

In the Mandala Star Military Command, a very blurry video was currently being played, unearthed from the capital that had already become ruins, about the battle on Odin Mountain Star back then.

Odin Mountain Star’s capital was first attacked by the Star System Alliance Fleet, then Kaff’s fleet came to aid. Attacked from front and back, they successfully destroyed the Star System Alliance Fleet, meaning Kaff wasn’t lying about winning and wiping out the alliance’s forces back then.

So what happened subsequently?

Soon, they saw the appearance of another fleet. They suddenly appeared on Odin Mountain Star, launching a surprise attack. Before Kaff’s fleet could react, they launched a fatal strike, ending the battle with overwhelming force.

“Your Highness, it’s our warships,” someone noticed their warships among this fleet.

Hades naturally saw it too. He only realized at this moment that those who hijacked their warships were not the Star System Alliance Fleet but another force.

So, on that day, the Star System Alliance retreated not due to tactical withdrawal but because another force was fishing in troubled waters the whole time.

“Is there another force within the Star System Alliance?” Aragon frowned.

“It’s Byron Star,” Hades said, “That Sword ship is Galan’s warship. Last time his mission failed, and the warship was captured by Byron Star.”

“Isn’t Byron Star a low-level civilization?” Aragon frowned.

“Byron Star acquired advanced civilization technology, which is why Galan was sent last time. But we underestimated Byron Star’s power, and from the last war, Byron Star seemed to possess more advanced detection technology than us, allowing them to fish in troubled waters and constantly strike underhandedly in the dark. This should be the technology they unearthed from that advanced civilization,” Hades speculated.

Although his tone was calm, his heart was extraordinarily cold.

Apparently, in this war, they won against the Star System Alliance but lost to Byron Star, being played by Byron Star.

“Your Highness, shall we send troops to Byron Star?” A general behind him asked with a murderous tone.

Were they played by someone?

“Seeing this fleet’s power isn’t weak anymore, plus our hijacked warships might be used by the other side, they could be put into battle. Now, Byron Star’s power isn’t weak,” Hades said, “In our last war, Byron Star reaped the profits. If we attack Byron Star, it would let the Star System Alliance reap the profits.”

The Star System Alliance and Byron Star are two different forces; they aren’t on the same line.

Everyone fell silent. They never thought they’d be played this time.

“Try and send the video to the Star System Alliance, first to see their reaction,” Hades said. Byron Star developing to such a scale in a short time, combined with their advanced civilization technology, already poses a direct threat to the Star System Alliance’s status.

Now, it’s no longer just a duel between the two forces.

“Yes, Your Highness,” replied someone beside him.

Hades turned and left. He didn’t expect that this would be the reason. The defeat in this war was a huge cost to them, and the news from Mandala Star was also not optimistic.

They are facing the pressure of a high-level civilization!
