Chapter 574: Grudges

Blacklight Fortress.

Click!

The metal door of the transport platform opened.

Su Ming walked out, carrying Summer Lane and Violet Lolo on his back.

“I’m not drunk, I can still drink!”

“Ah, why don’t you like me? What’s wrong with me?”

Summer Lane shouted, her face flushed.

Many officers passing by on the road heard the shouting and wanted to come over to gossip.

But when they saw it was General Su Ming carrying Summer Lane, they quickly stood straight and saluted.

“General!”

Su Ming nodded with a slight twitch of his lips.

Violet Lolo, seeing Su Ming’s awkwardness, had a hint of a smile on her quiet face, then said to Su Ming,

“Su Ming, actually, Summer Lane has always been very sensitive about that aspect. But because she has a congenital genetic defect, medication doesn’t work, which makes her very insecure.”

“I understand. Tell her to let it go.”

Su Ming sighed and replied.

“Mm.”

Violet Lolo nodded.

Soon, Su Ming carried Summer Lane to a small, independent villa.

Violet Lolo opened the door and said,

“Come in.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming followed Violet Lolo inside, carrying Summer Lane, and arrived in a spacious room.

“Just put her on the bed, I’ll handle the rest.”

Violet Lolo said to Su Ming.

“Okay!”

Su Ming carefully placed her on the soft bed, then let out a long sigh of relief.

“Sorry, I’ve caused you trouble.”

Violet Lolo said to Su Ming with a smile.

“It’s fine. I’ll be going now.”

“Lord Su Ming, it’s quite late now. There are spare rooms here. Would you like to stay for the night?”

“No need, I’ll go back and rest.”

Su Ming said, preparing to leave.

“Wait a moment, Mr. Su Ming.”

“What is it?”

“The great war is imminent. You must be careful.”

Violet Lolo said with concern.

“I will. You should also be careful during the rescue. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me!”

“Okay.”

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

Su Ming said to Violet Lolo.

“Take care.”

Violet Lolo said goodbye softly.

Su Ming turned and left.

Violet Lolo stood quietly on the spot, watching Su Ming’s departing back.

Transit Hall.

Su Ming walked towards the passage leading to the dock.

At this moment, he heard officers leaning against the metal wall, smoking and discussing Mo Xiu’s declaration of war.

“I’m really impressed. What’s wrong with that guy Mo Xiu? If you lose, just stay quiet. How dare he publicly declare war on the Dark Star Emperor? Isn’t this just causing trouble?”

“Oh, this is nothing out of the ordinary.”

“How is it normal?”

“Think about it. Among the three major defense lines, only the Black Flame Star Defense Line guarded by Sky Dome City collapsed, and Sky Dome City became a laughingstock. Those guys with simple minds and developed limbs are very concerned about face. Can they endure this anger?”

“That’s true, but they shouldn’t do this.”

“It doesn’t matter. They can only talk tough now. What else can they do? The Dark Star Emperor is an emperor of a generation after all. Can he be provoked by a few words?”

“Makes sense! Let them be so arrogant as usual, looking down on everyone. They deserve it.”

“Let’s just watch the show here and eat melons!”

Su Ming shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. Mo Xiu’s approach this time was indeed a bit inappropriate.

However, he didn’t say anything and walked towards the dock.

Shortly after, Star Destroyer Leiji.

Su Ming walked to his room door, feeling a bit tired.

He had been busy training during this time and hadn’t rested well. Plus, after drinking so much alcohol, the aftereffects were kicking in, and he was quite exhausted.

Su Ming opened the door and walked in.

Little Gray was wrapping itself in the crown of silence, dragging the crown of silence around the room, playing happily.

At this moment, Little Gray saw Su Ming, immediately dragged the crown of silence over, and rubbed its little head against his leg.

Su Ming glanced at the crown of silence. It seemed Little Gray liked its crown very much. It would stop playing with other things after a while, but it kept dragging this thing around.

However, Su Ming wasn’t angry. He just smiled, reached out, and patted Little Gray’s head, saying,

“Be good, go play by yourself.”

“Squeak.”

Little Gray called out obediently.

Su Ming walked to the bed, took off his shoes, lay down, and fell asleep quickly.

Little Gray tilted its head, looked at the sleeping Su Ming, flapped its wings, flew over, pulled the blanket, and covered Su Ming.

Then it lay quietly on the side and entered dreamland together.

Legendary-class Star Destroyer Void.

In the luxurious hall.

The Dark Star Emperor sat imposingly on the throne, and Chief Rogrian stood respectfully on the side.

Sakari, Deputy Legion Commander Disfa, Deputy Legion Commander Tossk, and Legion Commander Mosakaye stood on both sides with a murderous aura.

In front of everyone was the video of Mo Xiu declaring war on the Dark Star Emperor.

At this moment, Commander Aus watched the video and sneered,

“This Mo Xiu is truly bragging. Does he think he can challenge the Emperor just by himself!”

“I think his brain was beaten stupid by the Emperor. He’s gone crazy, barking incompetently. If it weren’t for the people below blocking him that day, the Emperor would have twisted his head off long ago!”

Legion Commander Nove Carter said with a grim smile.

“Those guys in Sky Dome City can only talk tough now. What else can they do?”

Deputy Legion Commander Disfa said disdainfully.

“Exactly!”

The many generals present let out harsh mocking laughter.

At this time, Chief Rogrian respectfully said to the Emperor,

“Emperor, this person Mo Xiu has always been cunning. He publicly provoked you like this, clearly wanting to anger you and make you turn to attack the Steel Rock Star Defense Line. When the time comes, once the Di Yan Star splits its troops to encircle from the rear, we will be surrounded.”

“I think what Rogrian said makes a lot of sense. This is a conspiracy.”

Sakari agreed.

Among the three major defense lines, only the First Legion guarding Di Yan Star had the ability to split troops.

The other two defense lines were barely able to hold their own.

At this moment, the Dark Star Emperor propped his chin with one hand, looked down at the old pocket watch in his right hand, then raised his head to look at Mo Xiu’s declaration video, and let out a harsh laugh.

“Haha!”

Everyone fell silent when they saw the Dark Star Emperor laugh.

After the Dark Star Emperor finished laughing, he waved his hand and said domineeringly,

“Pass my order, change direction, target Steel Rock Star!”

Sakari and the others were shocked when they heard the Dark Star Emperor’s order. They didn’t expect the Emperor to fall for such an obvious conspiracy.

However, no one present dared to persuade the Emperor, even if they were dissatisfied.

Everyone looked at each other and said,

“Yes, Emperor!”

Star Destroyer Leiji.

Su Ming was sleeping soundly on the bed.

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.

Rhine was standing at the door, looking anxious.

“Rhine, what’s wrong?”

Su Ming asked in a deep voice.

“Something happened, Boss. The Dark Star Empire’s troops have changed course and are moving towards the Steel Rock Star Defense Line.”

Rhine hurriedly reported to Su Ming.

“I know.”

Su Ming frowned upon hearing this, but quickly returned to normal.

Buzz buzz~

At this moment, a message popped up in Su Ming’s bracelet.

Su Ming looked down and said to Rhine,

“Rhine, keep an eye on our own defensive area. Don’t let your guard down just because the Dark Star Empire isn’t attacking. I’m going to the Blacklight Fortress central control room for a small meeting.”

“Okay!”

Rhine responded immediately.

Su Ming left in a hurry.

Blacklight Fortress.

Su Ming walked into the central control room. The whole central control room was super lively.

Commander Alec De was sitting in the command chair. General Gabres, General Sigrid, General Smanken, General Titanter, Deputy Legion Commander Akain, Deputy Legion Commander Cage, and others were all there.

“Damn, I’m really pissed off by Mo Xiu. Everything was ready here, just waiting for the Dark Star Emperor to come so we could beat him up, and now they’ve changed course!”

Gabres cursed, gnashing his teeth.

“General, you’re right. Isn’t this just causing trouble for us? How can they withstand the attack of the Dark Star Emperor?”

Deputy Legion Commander Akain also echoed angrily.

At this time, General Smanken also spoke up,

“We’re in trouble this time. The plan has been completely disrupted!”

“It’s not just disrupted, the combat plans we discussed are all void.”

Deputy Legion Commander Cage also said indignantly.

Seeing that everyone was almost exploding with anger, Su Ming stepped forward and said,

“Everyone, calm down.”

“Su Ming, you came just in time. Don’t you think Mo Xiu has a hole in his head! A great situation was ruined by him. Originally, the Dark Star Empire was coming here, and we could have sent them to hell first, solving a problem and getting revenge for them at the same time. But what happened? They had to be brave and provoke them. Now look, the Dark Star Empire’s troops have changed course.”

Gabres complained to Su Ming.

“Regarding this matter, Mo Xiu is indeed a bit lacking in consideration, but this matter cannot be blamed on him. It’s more about blaming the Dark Star Emperor.”

Su Ming coughed and said.

“Blame the Dark Star Emperor?”

Gabres and the others looked at Su Ming with confusion.

“Yes, he fell for such a childish provocation.”

Su Ming didn’t know how to describe it.

“This is normal. After all, the hatred between Sky Dome City and the Dark Star Empire is not ordinary. Even if they know it’s a trap, neither of them will hesitate.”

Sigrid explained to Su Ming.

“What deep hatred do they have? Can you tell me?”

Although Su Ming had heard a little bit, he didn’t know the specific situation.

“This…”

Sigrid immediately looked embarrassed.

The many generals present also looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.

“Look at your cowardly appearance, what can’t be said.”

Gabres said indignantly.

“Stop, I’ll say it.”

Sigrid quickly stopped Gabres. This guy speaks without thinking, and he might say something else later.

“Tch.”

Gabres snorted and didn’t say anything.

Sigrid sighed and said to Su Ming,

“The truth is, before the Federation split, the Dark Star Emperor and Faraon had a grudge, and the contradiction was very deep. It’s just that Council Speaker Dragon String was suppressing it at the time, so neither of them could jump around. Then a scandal happened.”

“What scandal?”

Su Ming felt like he was about to touch the truth.

“Faraon was cuckolded by the Dark Star Emperor.”

Sigrid coughed and said.

“What did you say, Faraon was cuckolded?”

Su Ming was shocked, like a bolt from the blue.

“Shh, keep your voice down. You also know how hot-tempered City Lord Faraon is. No one dares to mention this.”

Sigrid hurriedly said to Su Ming.

“No, what exactly is going on?”

Su Ming asked in disbelief.

“The thing is, Faraon, the Dark Star Emperor, and Miss Biss were all studying at the Royal Court Academy. At that time, the Hanke family where Miss Biss belonged wanted to climb the thigh of Sky Dome City, so they took the initiative to propose marriage to the Sky Dome family. As a result, Faraon really took a fancy to Miss Biss, so the two sides reached a marriage agreement.”

Sigrid explained to Su Ming bit by bit.

“Hanke family, why does this name sound so familiar?”

Su Ming frowned and replied.

“How could you have heard of such a small family.”

Sigrid said dismissively.

“Mm, and then?”

“Then I don’t know what happened. During a certain promotion exam, Biss got involved with the Dark Star Emperor, and after that, the two had an unclear relationship. Originally, Faraon and the Dark Star Emperor were at odds, and as a result, the relationship worsened, and there were many conflicts.”

“Since that’s the case, why didn’t that Biss just clarify and choose the Dark Star Emperor?”

“Are you kidding? How could Miss Biss’s family agree? Back then, the Sky Dome family was much stronger than the Belonka family, and who is Faraon? The future successor of the Sky Dome family, not only rich, but also powerful! In contrast, the Dark Star Emperor was a good-for-nothing at the time, and his status in the family was not high.”

“I see, what happened later?”

“Later, the Dark Star Emperor seemed to be a different person. He stopped causing trouble, became very motivated, followed Dragon String, and his strength became stronger and stronger. Later, the Belonka family left the Federation to develop the First New Galaxy, and the Dark Star Emperor followed.”

“Mm.”

“Decades later, when Faraon and Miss Biss were holding their wedding, the Dark Star Emperor led a group of people to break into Sky Dome City in mechs, destroyed the wedding scene, and snatched Miss Biss away directly.”

“Good guy, is it that exciting? I think any man can’t stand it.”

“Exactly, this matter is very bad, it can be said to be a huge scandal. The Sky Dome family exploded. When the situation was about to become uncontrollable, Council Speaker Dragon String came forward to suppress this matter for the sake of the unity and safety of the Federation!”

“Then how did it evolve into this?”

“Originally, this matter ended here, but later the Dark Star Emperor betrayed the Federation and created the Dark Star Empire.”

“Right!”

“The Federation began to form an expeditionary force to conquer, and Sky Dome City finally waited for the opportunity for revenge, so it sent its main force to participate in the war, wanting to kill the Dark Star Emperor. As a result, the Dark Star Emperor was not killed, but Miss Biss died instead.”

“Faraon killed her?”

Su Ming was also stunned, then asked.

“I don’t know about this, anyway, the person is dead, and the grudge between Faraon and the Dark Star Emperor is completely settled. One is the hatred of stealing a wife, and the other is the hatred of killing a wife!”

Sigrid said helplessly.

“Unsolvable!”

Su Ming sighed after hearing it, not knowing how to comment.

“Okay, let’s not mention those old things.”

At this time, Commander Alec De said in a deep voice.

“Yes.”

Sigrid nodded and replied.

“Commander Alec De, what should we do now? We can’t watch Sky Dome City get beaten, right? Why don’t we send a unit to support?”

Gabres asked irritably.

“No. Unless it’s an absolute last resort, the troops at the Di Yan Star defense line cannot be moved arbitrarily. The Mechanical Clan, the Kirami, and the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom are all watching us.”

Commander Alec De directly vetoed Gabres’s proposal.

“Then what happens if the Steel Rock Star Defense Line is breached?” Gabres asked with a dark expression.

“Actually, Mo Xiu and his team might not necessarily lose if they go to war with the Dark Star Emperor. You need to consider one thing: the reason the Black Flame Star Defense Line collapsed was that the defensive weapons were paralyzed instantly, catching Mo Xiu and his team off guard. Now, the Steel Rock Star Defense Line has rebuilt its defensive weapons, and Sky Dome City will definitely send reinforcements. In this situation, it’s not certain who will win or lose,” Su Ming analyzed rationally.

“Su Ming makes sense,” Sigrid agreed.

“Also, the Dark Star Emperor diverting to attack the Steel Rock Star Defense Line is actually a good thing for us. Although we aren’t afraid of the Dark Star Emperor, going to war with them will certainly cause damage. By then, the other three parties of enemies might seize the opportunity to attack us, and we would be in danger,” Su Ming said to the group.

“That makes sense.” After hearing Su Ming’s analysis, the group suddenly felt that it might not be such a bad thing after all.

At this moment, Commander Alec De suddenly spoke up. “Alright, that’s enough about Sky Dome City. Now, I have some brief instructions, so listen closely.”

“Yes!”

“First, tell the people below not to add fuel to the fire. Regardless of whether Mo Xiu did the right thing or not, they are our own people!”

“Understood.”

“Also, although our combat readiness has been lifted, no one is allowed to slack off. The enemy could launch a sneak attack on us at any time, so everyone must remain in a state of readiness.”

“Yes!”

“Meeting adjourned, you are all dismissed.” Commander Alec De waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the many generals turned and left. Su Ming, Gabres, and Sigrid also walked out together.

Starlight City · Federal Administration Building.

Feilong walked to the office door in a hurry, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to knock on the door. Knock, knock!

“Come in!” A cold voice came from inside the office.

Feilong opened the door and walked in, respectfully saying to Lord Long Bai, “Lord Long Bai, you summoned me?”

“The Dark Star Empire’s troops have diverted to Steel Rock Star.” Long Bai looked at Feilong and said coldly.

“Ah? They really diverted?” Feilong was also very surprised.

“Now, I want you to lead the Thirteenth Corps to the Steel Rock Star Defense Line to assist Mo Xiu in the defense,” Long Bai ordered Feilong.

“No problem. This time, I will definitely not let you down, Lord Long Bai.” Feilong promised with a serious expression.

Although Long Bai did not blame Feilong for the previous defeat, he had always felt very frustrated, and finally had a chance to wash away the shame.

“Feilong, listen well! Your trip to assist in the battle is one thing, but on the other hand, you must keep an eye on Mo Xiu and his team. Strictly forbid them from rashly pursuing the enemy; regardless of victory or defeat, they are only allowed to hold the defense line!” Long Bai instructed Feilong.

Hearing Long Bai’s words, Feilong swallowed hard and asked, “Lord Long Bai, what if they don’t listen to me?”

Not to mention that Mo Xiu’s military rank was higher than his own, and City Lord Faraon’s explosive temper was something few people in the council could suppress.

“This is my order, and it is the highest directive from the council. They must listen whether they want to or not!” Long Bai said to Feilong.

“Yes.” Feilong could only bite the bullet and agree.

“Dismissed!” Long Bai raised his hand and waved. Feilong then respectfully withdrew.

At this moment, Jon, who was waiting outside, eagerly stepped forward and asked, “Old Fei, what did Lord Long Bai want with you?”

“The Dark Star Empire has diverted. Lord Long Bai is sending us to support Mo Xiu and his team.”

“That’s a good thing. It’s the perfect chance to wash away our previous shame.”

“The problem is, we aren’t just going to help; we also have to supervise the battle!” Feilong replied with a headache.

“Ah? We’re supervising the battle? Can we hold them down?”

“Even if we can’t hold them down, we have to try.”

“Oh boy, we’re in trouble this time. If only Su Ming were here. Back in the Donao Star Sea, he alone dared to confront Mo Xiu and his team with just an assembly decree,” Jon sighed and said.

“What’s the use of saying that now? Su Ming is at the Di Yan Star defense line; he can’t run to the Steel Rock Star Defense Line. We have to rely on ourselves for this matter,” Feilong said to Jon.

“Alright!” Jon sighed deeply.

Inside the central control of the Star Destroyer Leiji, Su Ming sat in the command chair, raising his bracelet to browse the Star Cluster Forum.

The news of the Dark Star Empire’s diversion had already spread, and the entire Star Cluster Forum was now in chaos.

Countless Dark Star Empire officers kept posting, clamoring: “Cowards of Sky Dome City, listen up! We have diverted and will arrive at the Steel Rock Star Defense Line soon. Wash your necks and wait for death!”

“It’s too late to regret it now!”

“Screw you, it’s not certain who’s going to die yet!”

“I’m waiting for you right here at the defense line. Whoever chickens out is a turtle’s grandson!”

At this time, quite a few officers from the First Legion couldn’t help but start flaming online: “F***, we agreed you were coming to attack us. You guys are such cowards!”

“Exactly, we’ve been waiting for you for ages.”

“Don’t be arrogant. Once we take out Mo Xiu and his team, we’ll raid your nest directly!”

“You’ll be crying then.”

Of course, besides these flame posts, there were also many posts complaining about Mo Xiu, some even speaking very harshly: “It’s too hateful. Is the Federal Government just letting General Mo Xiu mess around like this? The enemy was clearly determined to attack the strongest Di Yan Star, but he insisted on dragging them to Steel Rock Star to fight, forcing us to migrate and flee.”

“That’s right. What if Steel Rock Star is breached? Who will take responsibility for that?”

“I kind of regret supporting Mo Xiu for the position of General back then.”

“+1.”

Su Ming sighed and logged into the Steel Rock Star live stream room.

He saw war correspondent Lin Qi aiming the camera roughly at a non-core defensive area, reporting on the latest situation in real-time. “Everyone can see that Sky Dome City has significantly strengthened the deployment of defense weapons. So far, the Dark Star Empire troops have not yet arrived at Steel Rock Star. According to the estimated time, there should be about 60 hours left!”

Below the live stream, countless comments were flooding the screen. “Go, Lord Mo Xiu, we will always support you!”

“You must win!”

“Sob, although because you lost last time, I am now homeless, I still support you. You must defeat them!”

“That’s right, wipe out those barbarians!”

At this moment, war correspondent Lin Qi suddenly shouted excitedly. “Look! The Federal Government has dispatched the Thirteenth Corps to provide support. The odds of winning for the Steel Rock Star Defense Line have increased once again!”

He saw the Star Radiance Fortress speeding over from behind the defense line.

“It’s the Star Radiance Fortress!”

“That’s great!”

“I wonder if General Su Ming has come to support us!”

“Probably not. I heard he seems to be at the Di Yan Star defense line.”

Su Ming took a look. Although there were quite a few people complaining, most people were still able to understand and support them. But for some reason, Su Ming always felt a bit uneasy.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” Seeing Su Ming feeling somewhat uneasy, Rhine asked immediately.

“It’s nothing. How is the situation at our defense line now? Have any traces of the enemy been discovered?” Su Ming asked calmly.

“No. The scouts responsible for vigilance have not yet discovered any enemies approaching us!”

“What about the light iris star defense line?”

“Everything is normal over there too. Currently, only Steel Rock Star is about to start fighting.” Rhine roughly explained the situation.

“Mm.” Su Ming nodded.

“Boss, I don’t quite understand. Mo Xiu isn’t even the Dark Star Emperor’s opponent. Won’t something go wrong if he provokes him like this?”

“I’m not sure either.”

“Then Boss, who do you think will win?”

“Although I really hope Mo Xiu can win, judging from the intelligence obtained so far, the Dark Star Empire has a higher chance of winning.”

“Boss, do you want to go and support them?”

“I can’t support them.” Su Ming replied helplessly.

In fact, he really wanted to support them, but the problem was he needed a mech. Now, they could only rely on Mo Xiu and his team.

Steel Rock Star Defense Line.

Inside the laboratory of the Legendary Star Destroyer Wind Vault, Mo Xiu was soaking in a biological tank, which was constantly bubbling.

City Lord Faraon, General Helaggle, and others stood in front of the biological tank.

Beep, beep! At this moment, the indicator light on the biological tank turned from red to green, and Mo Xiu immediately opened his eyes.

Instantly, the solution inside the biological tank was drained, and it opened automatically. Mo Xiu then walked out of the biological tank.

“Mo Xiu, how do you feel?” Faraon asked with concern.

Mo Xiu clenched his hands into fists, feeling his whole body filled with power, and then said, “I feel great. I have fully recovered, and I even feel like I’ve become stronger!”

“That’s great.” Faraon nodded.

“Grandfather, how long until the Dark Star Empire’s troops arrive?” Mo Xiu looked up and asked with a serious expression.

“They will arrive in ten hours.” Faraon raised his bracelet to check the time and said to Mo Xiu.

“Is everything ready below?” Mo Xiu asked immediately.

“Mo Xiu, rest assured, everything is prepared properly. The Federation even sent the Thirteenth Corps to support us. All defensive weapons have been modified, with anti-interference devices installed and switched to manual control mode!” General Helaggle said to Mo Xiu.

“That’s good. This time, we must wash away our shame.” Mo Xiu replied in a deep voice.

At this moment, Faraon reached out and patted Mo Xiu’s shoulder heavily, saying, “Mo Xiu, in this war, Sky Dome City will live or die with you. Do not disappoint me!”

“Understood!”

“Very well. Go and coordinate the defense line to prepare for the battle.”

“Mm.” Mo Xiu then turned and left.

Faraon looked at Mo Xiu’s departing back, a hint of complex emotion appearing on his face.

Maybe it was because he was old, but he didn’t have much feeling left for the incident with Bisi back then.

The grudge between him and the Dark Star Emperor, which had evolved to this point today, was not something he wanted to see.

And because of this matter, so many of his brothers, sisters, sons, and grandsons had died.

Every time Faraon thought about it, he even felt a bit of regret.

But this matter concerned the face of Sky Dome City. Even if he wanted to let it go, the family behind him would absolutely not let it go just like that.

Only one of Sky Dome City or the Dark Star Empire can survive until the end!

The pitch-black starry sky. War correspondent Lin Qi aimed the camera at the Steel Rock Star Defense Line, reporting with a nervous expression. “Now, it is estimated that there are 9 hours and 23 minutes until the Dark Star Empire’s troops arrive. We can see that the entire Steel Rock Star Defense Line has entered a state of readiness, and all soldiers are prepared for battle.”

“Go!”

“You must wipe out those guys from the Dark Star Empire.”

Countless prayer messages popped up. At this moment, within the Federation, almost everyone was paying attention to the battle situation at the Steel Rock Star Defense Line; after all, this concerned the life and death of the Federation.

Time ticked away bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, the countdown entered the final 60 minutes.

The massive fleet of the Dark Star Empire began to appear in the distant starry sky.

After seeing this through optical imaging, reporter Lin Qi reported with extreme nervousness. “Everyone, the Dark Star Empire’s troops have arrived. The great war is on the verge of breaking out!”

“They really came!”

“Sky Dome City, you must put in some effort!”

The hearts of the many people watching the battle were in their throats.

Inside the central control room of the Legendary-class Star Destroyer Void, the Emperor sat steadily on his throne, looking at the Steel Rock Star Defense Line presented before him, his scarlet eyes flickering.

At this moment, Roglian respectfully said, “Emperor, ahead is the Steel Rock Star Defense Line!”

“Very well. Open the projection and all-channel communication!” The Emperor said as he twisted his neck.

“Yes!” Roglian bowed his head and replied.

In the starry sky, the Legendary-class Star Destroyer Void moved to the front of the fleet, and the Dark Star Emperor domineeringly spoke on all channels. “Faraon, I have come to keep my appointment. Why haven’t you come out yet!”

At this moment, the Legendary Star Destroyer Wind Vault also moved forward. Immediately after, the virtual projections of both sides appeared on the public channel.

At this moment, Faraon slowly stood up from the command chair and said with a gloomy expression, “Igor Shim, you have finally come. Shouldn’t we settle the score between us and bring it to an end!”

“Haha, it is time to settle the score and bring it to an end, otherwise there won’t be a chance later.”

“What do you mean?” Faraon frowned and said coldly.

The Dark Star Emperor did not answer, but slowly took off his metal mask, revealing a rugged and domineering face.

“You…” Faraon looked at the Dark Star Emperor’s middle-aged face, his eyes widening.

Of course, it wasn’t just Faraon who was shocked; all the personnel watching were stunned.

“Are you surprised? I am still so young, but you are already about to die of old age.” The Dark Star Emperor said with a smile.

“Hmph, it doesn’t matter. Today is your death day!” Faraon quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and said coldly.

“Very well. Then shouldn’t you come out to fight?” The Dark Star Emperor looked at Faraon with fierce eyes.

At this moment, Mo Xiu’s projection appeared and replied coldly, “Igor Shim, you don’t need to provoke my grandfather. My grandfather is old; I will take his place to deal with you!”

“Haha, very well! You are old and useless, it’s no fun to beat you! Then let this grandson die in your place!” The Dark Star Emperor said with a loud laugh.
