"Not yet. At the ti of the incident, Councilman Luford seed to be on the mother star. But I don’t think anything happened to him. After all, the attack ca from far away in space. The energy response was very strong, and the radar scanning device could predict it in advance, so there’s a little reaction ti."
Amilo replied calmly.
"Who on earth did it?"
Amilo said with a note of anger in his voice.
"The current situation is unclear, but the urgent task is to prepare for defense. We might still be attacked."
Alles looked up and said.
"I just don’t understand, doesn’t Star Ring City care? Didn’t they agree that no trouble is allowed within their designated boundaries?"
Amilo said, displeased.
"If we didn’t misjudge, the opponent’s attack ca across the star domain, completely bypassing the protection rules of Star Ring City. So Star Ring City won’t intervene."
Alles explained to Amilo rationally.
Of course, everyone had no idea that this range was also the maximum defense limit of Star Ring City.
"Damn, they really know how to exploit loopholes. But doesn’t this an that the attacker is one of our Twelve Civilizations? If that’s the case, it’s very likely that the Imperial Army did it?"
imikas said irritably.
"Calm down, that’s what we’re saying, but we don’t have any evidence now. And the Imperial Army has no reason to do this, after all, we just signed a peace treaty, and everyone is preparing to head to Ceres for a grand display. Launching a surprise attack at this mont doesn’t make sense."
Alles didn’t quite agree with imikas’s speculation.
"Then who else besides those Imperial Army people would attack us?"
"I think so too, there’s no such coincidence. Just as our people were attacked. As for the peace treaty, it might just be used by the other side to confuse us for a surprise attack."
Amilo and imikas completely distrusted the Imperial Army.
Of course, you couldn’t bla them both, after all, the Imperial Army has often broken treaties and the like.
At this mont, in the council chamber, the empty chair suddenly flickered with a holographic image.
Alles and the others turned their heads to look.
Soon, a weary-looking Councilman Luford erged, looking much older and filled with sadness and a dull expression, with tear stains clearly visible by the corners of his eyes.
"Councilman Luford, how’s the situation on your side now?"
Maut hastily asked with concern.
"The losses were imnse, completely incalculable, and the worst part is, nearly half of my Gaojia Republic’s regular army has been wiped out!"
As Luford spoke, his old face was full of extre pain, and the luck of their country was really at its lowest.
Everyone knew that when they were attacked, they were gathering forces for a major mobilization before the expedition. The side that was hit just happened to be in daylight, resulting in the newly gathered expedition force being almost completely wiped out!
"Councilman Luford, please accept our condolences."
Amilo and the others spoke words of comfort.
Luford raised his head with red eyes and asked, "Have we figured out who attacked us yet?"
"Not yet. The attack was launched across star domains, and the attack may not be over yet. We are all in a defensive state now, but we’ve already dispatched troops and reconnaissance ships to search outside the star domain."
Alles explained.
In fact, currently, the only starship capable of quickly crossing the star domain to find enemies is the Star Destroyer Phantom Flower.
But Alles dared not dispatch it.
If the Star Destroyer Phantom Flower leaves, and then the enemy’s attack arrives shortly after, the Federation would be in danger, and he couldn’t take that gamble.
"Luford, don’t worry. We have a mutual defense alliance treaty. An attack on you is an attack on the entire Alliance Country; this is war! Once we figure out who it is! They’d better be ready to face our wrath!"
Maut slamd the table, eyes sharp.
"That’s right, an attack on you is an attack on us. This is an act of war."
imikas echoed loudly.
"Good!"
Looking at each mber expressing their stance, Luford’s expression softened a lot.

On the Shadow, Su Mo was using his phone, browsing the Star Ring Forum, keeping an eye on the latest developnts.
The entire forum was in an uproar.
Everyone was discussing the attack on the Gaojia Republic, speculating about who launched the attack.
"Who the hell was so insane to launch such an attack?"
"Exactly, if I find out who it is, I’ll fight them to the end."
"We Gaojia Republic citizens won’t rest until this debt is paid."
...
"Do you think it was the Galmotos Empire that did it? It seems like only they possess that capability, especially since they have Star Destroyers."
"I think it might’ve been them; it’s not impossible."
"Nonsense, show so proof, speculating like this without evidence is pointless. And even if it was us attacking, so what? Good for us!"
At this ti, many radical citizens of the Galmotos Empire also responded unhappily.
"See, isn’t this basically admitting without being asked?"
"Admit what, my foot...."
.....
Su Mo looked at the fierce debates in the forum, a bit surprised.
He noticed that opinions were unconsciously pointing towards the Galmotos Empire.
But it made sense. If he were to suspect anyone, his first choice would also be the Galmotos Empire.
The main reason being other nations, even if they wanted to cause such trouble, didn’t possess the capability.
Sun Duoxiang ca over, grinning and asking, "Boss, do you think it was the Galmotos Empire?"
"There’s no evidence, don’t jump to conclusions. Making baseless accusations about sothing this big could be deadly,"
Su Mo frowned slightly and replied.
"I’m just curious. You have no idea, the survivors of the Gaojia Republic are like a bunch of mad dogs right now."
Sun Duoxiang said to Su Mo while scrolling through the forum.
"Why aren’t you monitoring the control panel attentively, and instead browsing the forum?"
Su Mo chided with a dark expression.
"Sister Xue is watching it. I’m also a major figure on the forum. So many people are contacting privately, asking for my opinion. I can’t not say sothing."
Sun Duoxiang said helplessly.
"Don’t go spouting nonsense and comnting. In my view, it’s probably not the Galmotos Empire. It’s not that they lack the capability, but it wouldn’t be worth it for them to do so."
Su Mo cautioned Sun Duoxiang to prevent him from making reckless comnts on the forum again.
"No, boss, I thought so at first too, but look at these forum comnts...."
Sun Duoxiang projected his forum page in front of Su Mo, pointing at one fiery comnt after another.
"Well done, even if it’s our Empire attacking you, so what? You’re just trash!"
"Aren’t you just like stray dogs? What right do you have to be arrogant?"
"The weak have no right to exist in this era."
