Chapter 789: Chapter 435, Acting According to the Script_2

The artillery began to unleash its ferocity, as infantry braved the rain and charged toward the government building under the cover of the artillery.

Seeing hope, the morale of the defending army inside the building surged anew.

They too fired back furiously from the windows and gaps blasted open in the building, at the attacking enemy forces.

But it wasn’t enough to stop the enemies’ entry.

The cover of artillery fire still pinned down the defenders within the building.

However, the next moment, a howling sound overshadowed the noise of the rain.

Then, a violent explosion occurred about ten kilometers away.

Arno crawled to the window and looked in the direction from where the sound came.

That was the artillery position of the Planetary Defense Force, which now, having been subjected to continuous missile strikes and machine gun bombardment, had turned into a sea of fire.

What flashed through the rain curtain were eight ‘Qilin’ fighters leading a formation of many Windfalcon Fighters from the Alliance Fighter Formation.

After completing the destruction of the artillery position, these combat aircraft began sweeping through the Planetary Defense Force that was still attacking the government building.

Large-caliber machine guns raked the ground, the Windfalcons were still fine, a 40mm caliber hit to a person would simply obliterate them, hitting the cement ground and leaving a washbowl-sized shallow crater;

But the weaponry mounted on the ‘Qilin’ was much more exaggerated in performance.

Not only did it have larger 55mm caliber machine guns, it carried twice as many missiles as the Windfalcon, and could also be equipped with multiple rocket launcher pods to enhance firepower. What was most terrifying was that they could be equipped simultaneously, without having to choose fitments like the Windfalcon.

Moreover, mounted on it was a genuine reflector—a Spec S grade of artillery firepower, not a castrated version of an anti-air gun or vehicle auxiliary cannon.

When this ‘reflector,’ firing at a rate of once every two or three seconds, continuously bombarded the ground, the area in front of the government building became a Photon Hell!

The immense heat brought by the high-energy laser not only destroyed the core of the direct hit, causing perforation, but also the dispersion of thermal energy inflicted fatal damage to the surrounding swathes of life forms.

The air strikes from just the ‘Qilin’ and ‘Windfalcon’ alone had already decimated this infantry battalion.

Of course, they were not wiped out, but when the front-line battalions were devastated under the air raid, and the rear’s main artillery positions supporting the barrage had been eliminated, so too collapsed the battalion.

They no longer possessed any offensive capabilities.

At the same time, many black spots began to fall from the sky.

They were transport planes, one after another, and as they landed, masses of airborne troops streamed out from them.

Arno’s face now bore a brilliant smile.

He recognized the insignia of this unit.

It was the Alliance’s 31st Special Airborne Division, one of the card forces of the Alliance.

After landing, the airborne troops began to sweep the enemy forces that were scattered within the combat zone. At the same time, they also drove out airborne vehicles and artillery from the transport planes.

It was hard to imagine that airborne troops could bring so much equipment…

Although there were still some doubts in her mind, such as why the air defenses of Baishuo Star did not fire during the attack by the airborne troops and the Alliance fighters,

At least for now, she was safe.

Her mission had also come to completion.

…

Milia Derong sat in the Shuoguo City air defense command center, and beside her, some masked personnel were cleaning up the scene.

Whether corpses or surrendering soldiers, they all had to be tidied up.

“The government building hasn’t fallen, has it?”

“Report, captain, no, the 31st Division arrived just in time.”

“Good.” Thinking for a moment, Milia casually asked, “That investigator you were told to keep an eye on, the one called Arno, he’s fine too, right?”

“He’s fine.”

“Hmm.” With that response, Milia was no longer concerned.

As long as he wasn’t dead.

In fact, the operations of the third bureau were a great help.

Assassinating Zelos left the Star Sector leaderless, saving us some trouble; the subsequent three-day uprising, along with the influence of the assassination, diverted the attention of all political forces on the planet to that location.

This provided excellent cover for the Demon Hunter’s operations.

They had been well-prepared to act, and they took the opportunity to launch their offensive.

The primary target was the Starport.

Embedded within the Starport were two Phoenix Tactical Squads, who, through the resources of the Demon Hunters, had been reassigned there. They led about fifty other Demon Hunters in the initial attack. An Imperial Merchant Fleet ship, which had shifted allegiance to the Alliance and was contacted through interstellar trade, then helped the Alliance deliver two divisions to the inside of the Starport.

With the inside help and outside forces working together, the control of Baishuo’s Starport was quickly secured.

The explosions and blazes in the sky that Arno had seen the night before were part of this operation.

In fact, that was a minor accident. According to the best estimates, not even that kind of explosion should have happened; the situation should have been resolved quickly and silently.

Then, one of the two Skeleton Divisions that had been deployed to Baishuo quickly reached the ground through the space elevator linking the Starport to the surface, and they took control of the terrestrial part of the Starport.

That location was also the outskirts of Shuoguo City.

There, they would establish a defensive line and, once it was fortified, move into the city.

Ahead of them were the two Phoenix Squads.

Once they landed, they immediately rushed to Shuoguo City’s air defense command center.

Meanwhile, the Demon Hunters had also made preparations at the air defense command center.

After swiftly securing control of the command center, another merchant ship that had collaborated with the Alliance in their offensive, launched several transport shuttles along with ‘Qilin’ and Windfalcon Fighters into planetary orbit.

These transport shuttles rapidly deployed the elite troops of the 31st Airborne Division directly into the battlefield.

The ‘Qilin’ and Windfalcon Fighters arrived first to clear the ground, and the paratroopers then descended, promptly taking control of the city’s center.

Following that, the remaining forces of the Airborne Division, numbering over 30,000, would move at the fastest speed to pinpoint the location of the Governor of Baishuo using intelligence compiled by the Demon Hunters and the Alliance’s three major external intelligence agencies, and quickly launch an assault.

By this time, the Governor of Baishuo had probably just received the news that the Starport was lost and that the vanguard of the Defense Army had been crushed.

Whatever his reaction, it was already too late.

He didn’t even have a chance to link up with the advancing Planetary Defense Force; Milia was confident of that.

The air defense command center in Shuoguo City had now ironically become the Alliance’s ground operations command center.

Milia presided over it, calmly issuing one instruction after another.

Her authority would only last for these two to three days.

Afterwards, when the overall situation was secured, the military and political officials of the Alliance, already en route, would descend upon this world.

An Alliance political officer would be there to declare, with regret, the death of the Purple Horse leader during a civilian uprising; the cause of all this chaos would be attributed to Baishuo Star’s poor political governance and its betrayal of Imperial laws, with the Governor of Baishuo bearing full responsibility.

The Alliance, with the authority granted by the Star Domain Government, would remove the current Governor of Baishuo from office and judge his crimes.

The new Governor of Baishuo would sign the Seven Horse Accord and call upon all the planets in the Purple Horse Sector to sign it…

These events, still yet to happen, had already been scripted.

Under the will of Governor Gu Hang, this script would inevitably be played out.

…

Once the entirety of Baishuo Star was firmly in control according to plan, half the main force of the United Fleet led by Yelisia had also entered this Star Sector.

Initially, the various planets of the Purple Horse Sector would have had a fierce reaction to this.

This was a serious provocation.

But now, they were as quiet as quails.

The events on Baishuo Star had intimidated them.

It was the most populous, most developed, and militarily strongest planet in the entire sector.

Yet, how could it be that from a simple civilian uprising, the Star Sector leader was dead; just a minor effort by the Alliance, and the Governor of Baishuo was arrested on his own planet and then sentenced to death by firing squad?
