"What was bound to co has finally arrived."
Alekde took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Damn it, this bunch of bastards really knows how to pick their timing. When others aren’t fighting, they don’t show up!"
Gabres cursed irritably.
"It’s normal. The chanical Clan never fights losing battles; they only strike when you’re at your weakest. But this ti, it seems they’ve acted a bit too early."
Sigurd said, sowhat puzzled.
"Enough, no point in saying anything more. Sound the full combat alert, everyone prepare for battle!"
Commander Alekde directly issued the order.
"Yes!"
Gabres and the others responded solemnly.
...
Inside the Thunder Extre central control.
The piercing alarm continued to blare, while the edges of the Scanning Device’s screen were filled with dense red dots.
Timi reported to Su Ming.
"Lord Su Ming, the chanical Clan has arrived. Commander Alekde has issued the full combat order."
"Troubles never co alone, do they?"
Su Ming said, frowning deeply.
"Oh, thank goodness the Dark Star Empire changed course; otherwise, fighting halfway would an battling the chanical Clan too, and that would be trouble."
Rhein and the others said with relief.
"Don’t relax just yet; the current situation isn’t much better."
Celeste told Rhein and the others.
Su Ming turned to Celeste and said,
"Celeste, help estimate how long until they reach the battlefield."
"About an hour or so."
Celeste calculated briefly and replied.
Hearing this, Su Ming’s expression shifted, then he raised his hand to send a ssage to Dr. Blakes.
"Doctor, is the modification of Ilyas complete?"
"Five hours. I’ll have soone send it to you once it’s done."
Dr. Blakes quickly replied.
After reading the ssage, Su Ming replied directly to Blakes,
"No need, I’ll get it myself!"
"Alright!"
Blakes replied.
Su Ming then turned to Timi and said,
"Timi, have Li nghan bring the Sunshine to pick up!"
"Okay!"
Timi responded imdiately.
Su Ming stood up and said to Rhein,
"I’m leaving this to you. I’ll return once I’ve picked up the cha!"
"Yes!"
Rhein and the others responded imdiately.
Su Ming hurried toward the mobile platform, intending to personally retrieve the cha to avoid any issues on the way back.
Besides, the Third Planet is very close to Earth Fla Star, so it wouldn’t take much ti for a round trip.
A few monts later, inside the Dood Light Central Control Room.
Li nghan saw Su Ming co in and quickly stood to greet him.
"Lord Su Ming."
"Full speed ahead back to the Third Planet!"
Su Ming instructed Li nghan.
"Yes."
Li nghan then operated the Sunshine, retreating backward.
At that mont, the operation screen popped up with a communication request from Blackthorn Fortress.
Li nghan turned to look at Su Ming and said,
"My lord, we have a communication request from Blackthorn Fortress."
"Answer it."
Su Ming wasn’t too surprised.
After all, during warti, the Sunshine changing course might look like desertion.
Swish!
Admiral Visado’s virtual image suddenly appeared, and he gave a quick salute upon seeing Su Ming.
"Admiral Su Ming, where are you heading? The enemy is about to reach the battlefield."
"I’m heading back to the Third Planet to retrieve the modified cha; I’ll return shortly. Lower the power of the Curvature Interference Device number 6."
Su Ming said concisely to Admiral Visado.
Admiral Visado turned to look at Commander Alekde.
Commander Alekde nodded slightly.
"Yes!"
Admiral Visado responded imdiately.
As the power of the number 6 Curvature Interference Device decreased,
the Sunshine imdiately activated its Superluminal Flight Device, entered Subspace, and vanished.
...
Federation Administrative Building·Dawn Hall.
A virtual communication request popped up on the Council platform’s virtual projection interface.
Long Bai waved a hand and answered it.
Alekde’s virtual image suddenly appeared, and he respectfully addressed Long Bai.
"Lord Long Bai, the chanical Clan’s army is pressing against the Earth Fla Star defense line and is about to launch an attack!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Council Chamber erupted, with nurous councilors discussing in succession.
"Are you kidding? The chanical Clan is launching an attack so soon!"
"They’re here too quickly!"
"What should we do?"
...
At this mont, Long Bai spoke coldly,
"Silence!"
The noisy council chamber instantly quieted down.
Long Bai looked at Alekde and said in a deep voice,
"The defense line of Earth Fla Star is entrusted to you. Make sure to defeat the invading enemy."
"Yes, I will not fail this mission!"
Commander Alekde saluted and then cut off the communication.
At this point, all the forces and defensive weapons on the Earth Fla Star defense line went into combat readiness.
Curse-filled voices rang continuously in the public communication channel.
"The chanical Clan, these guys are really despicable, always picking the perfect ti to attack!"
"Doesn’t matter, we’re all ready for battle anyway; it’s a perfect chance to take them down!"
"Exactly, a fight’s a fight no matter who it’s against!"
"Let’s take them down!"
...
Inside Erosion Sun Fortress.
The virtual image of the Earth Fla Star defense line was presented before Elorazad and others.
Fadale reporting sowhat helplessly to Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader.
"Lord Elorazad, the situation doesn’t look good! The defensive forces and weapon deploynt on Earth Fla Star are stronger than on Cui Lan Star; it might be tough to attack."
"Hmph, that’s simple. Pamie!"
Elorazad turned to Pamie and spoke.
"What do you need?"
Pamie replied coldly.
"Isn’t it ti you show what you’ve got?"
"You want to attack the defense line? Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?"
"Stop pretending with . I know your fortress can incapacitate weapons over a large area. Stop hiding it and incapacitate the weapons on Earth Fla Star for ."
Elorazad commanded Pamie with authority.
Although they were both Deputy Clan Leaders, Elorazad considered himself to have evolved to the Emperor Level, and Pamie wasn’t qualified to compare with him.
"Got it."
Pamie, although frustrated, conceded.
"Hurry up, if you hold up the Clan Leader’s plans, you’ll face the consequences."
Elorazad showed no politeness to Pamie.
"Hmph, no need for your reminder."
Pamie snorted coldly in response.
