"I think Roglian makes a lot of sense, this is definitely a conspiracy."
Sakari agreed.
Within the three major defense lines, only the First Legion guarding the Earth Fla Star has the capability to deploy additional troops.
It’s quite remarkable if the other two defense lines can hold their own.
At this mont, the Dark Star Emperor, supporting his chin with one hand, glanced down at the old pocket watch in his right hand, then looked up at Mo Xiu’s war declaration projection, letting out a piercing laugh.
"Ha ha!"
The crowd quieted down when they saw the Dark Star Emperor laughing.
After he finished laughing, the Dark Star Emperor waved his hand boldly and said dominantly.
"Send my orders, change course, target Steel Rock Star!"
Sakari and the others were imnsely shocked upon hearing the Dark Star Emperor’s command, completely unexpected that he would fall for such an obvious trap.
However, even if dissatisfied, none of those present dared to persuade the Emperor.
They exchanged glances, looking at each other in astonishnt as they spoke.
"Yes, Emperor!"

Star Destroyer·Thunder Extre.
Su Ming lay on the bed, in a drowsy sleep.
Knock knock~
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
Su Ming opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and walked to the door to open it.
Only to see Rhein standing anxiously at the doorway.
"Rhein, what’s going on?"
Su Ming asked in a serious tone.
"Sothing happened, boss, the Dark Star Empire’s forces have rerouted towards the Steel Rock Star Defense Line."
Rhein hurriedly reported to Su Ming.
"I understand."
Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s brow furrowed montarily, but soon returned to normal.
Bzzz~
At this mont, a ssage popped up on Su Ming’s wrist device.
He glanced down and then said to Rhein.
"Rhein, keep an eye on our own defense areas, don’t relax just because the Dark Star Empire didn’t attack; I’m heading to the Blackthorn Fortress central control room for a quick eting."
"Alright!"
Rhein promptly responded.
Su Ming then hurriedly left.
....
Blackthorn Fortress.
Su Ming entered the central control room; it was bustling inside.
Commander Alekde was seated on the command chair, with General Gabres, General Higred, Admiral Simanken, Admiral Taite, Vice Corps Commander Akenin, Vice Corps Commander Cage, and others all present.
"Damn it, Mo Xiu really pisses off, we were all ready here, just waiting for the Dark Star Emperor to co so we could take him down, and now they’ve rerouted!"
Gabres cursed through gritted teeth.
"General, you’re right, aren’t they just causing us trouble? How can they withstand the Dark Star Emperor’s attack?"
Deputy Corps Commander Akenin agreed angrily.
Admiral Simanken also spoke up at this point.
"This is a headache, the plan is completely disrupted!"
"It’s not just disrupted; it’s rendered our discussed operations plan null and void."
Vice Corps Commander Cage also spoke irritably.
Seeing everyone was about to explode in anger, Su Ming stepped forward and said.
"Everyone, calm down."
"Su Ming, you’re just in ti, do you think Mo Xiu has a screw loose? This great situation was all ssed up by his brother, originally the Dark Star Empire was coming here, we could’ve sent them to hell, solving a problem and avenging them in the process. But no, they had to show off and provoke, and now look, the Dark Star Empire’s forces rerouted."
Gabres couldn’t help but vent upon seeing Su Ming.
"Mo Xiu was indeed a bit lacking in consideration here, but it’s not entirely his fault; more bla falls on the Dark Star Emperor."
Su Ming coughed and said.
"Bla the Dark Star Emperor?"
Gabres and the others looked at Su Ming with puzzled faces.
"Yeah, such a childish provocation and he still fell for it."
Su Ming didn’t know how else to describe it.
"This is normal; given the deep-seated hatred between Sky Do City and the Dark Star Empire, even knowing it’s a trap, neither would hesitate."
Sigurd explained to Su Ming.
"What kind of deep-seated hatred do they have? Can you tell ?"
Though Su Ming had heard bits and pieces, he wasn’t entirely clear on the specifics.
"Well....."
Sigurd showed an embarrassed expression.
The assembled generals exchanged looks, unsure of what to say.
"Look at you all being timid; what’s there you can’t say?"
Gabres grumbled irritably.
"Stop, let explain."
Sigurd hurriedly stopped Gabres, fearing he would speak without restraint and stir up trouble.
"Hmph."
Gabres snorted, refraining from saying anything further.
Sigurd sighed and said to Su Ming.
"The fact is, before the Federation split, there was a longstanding feud between the Dark Star Emperor and Farren, a deep-rooted conflict. But back then, the Dragon String Council President kept them in check, so neither could act out. And then a scandal occurred."
"What scandal?"
Su Ming felt like he was about to uncover the truth.
"Farren was cuckolded by the Dark Star Emperor."
Sigurd coughed and said.
"What did you say, Farren was cuckolded?"
Su Ming was utterly shocked, as if struck by lightning.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, you know the Farren City Lord has a fiery temperant, no one dares to bring this up."
Sigurd quickly advised Su Ming.
"No, what exactly happened?"
Su Ming asked in disbelief.
"Here’s how it went: Farren, the Dark Star Emperor, and Miss Bi Si were all attending Imperial Court Academy. At that ti, Miss Bi Si’s family, the Hengke Family, wanted to cling onto Sky Do City’s coattails, so they proposed an alliance marriage to the Sky Do Family. Farren actually took a liking to Miss Bi Si, and thus the alliance marriage was established."
