The Seventh Base-Chapter 504 - 95: Arrival Sect Leader
Chapter 504: Chapter 95: Arrival Sect Leader
Chuanxing City was still shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere.
This battle had almost completely annihilated the Federation Fleet. The most crucial military base was also destroyed by a warship. Even if the Federation’s remaining armed forces were completely reorganized, they were far inferior to before. How could they contend against Lancelot Star?
The gap was still too vast. Just three warships from Lancelot Star had brought about a catastrophe for the Federation.
If not for the appearance of that mysterious Transcendent, the Federation Army would have likely been completely annihilated by now, and the President’s Mansion occupied.
The citizens of Chuanxing City watched the figure clad in black armor.
Xu Mo paused the chase after a short while, realizing the opponent was retreating. He glanced down below and with a flash, transformed into a streak of black lightning and disappeared.
“He’s gone?” Countless people in the city were stunned as they saw Xu Mo depart. The mysterious hero who had saved the crisis had just left?
In the Future City District of Chuanxing City, the energy shield was destroyed by the impacts of the war. As the fighting ended, many people from Future City ventured out.
At that moment, a black afterimage flashed and vanished inside a tall building in Future City District, making many believe their eyes were deceiving them.
Mia and Elsa were in their room when someone suddenly burst in. Nervously, they moved toward the door and saw a figure entering as the armor on him automatically disassembled and flew aside, revealing his face.
“It’s me.” Xu Mo spoke, causing Mia and Elsa to reveal a shocked look. Was that Xu Mo?
The mysterious superhero, he was Xu Mo?
But, how was that possible!
“Brother.” Yaoer called out. Xu Mo walked up to her and pinched her face, then said, “I’ll explain later. I need to rest. Don’t reveal this to anyone.”
The intense battle had caused his spiritual power to be greatly burdened, and he was struggling to cope, continuing to rest as his head swam with dizziness.
He absolutely trusted Mia and Elsa, having deep bonds forged in the Underworld. They had all walked together on the edge of death, and in any circumstances, those who had ascended from the Underworld would never betray him.
In war, no place was absolutely safe, but the Future City District, protected by an energy shield and furnished with underground shelters, was relatively safer.
Conversely, the Divine Sword Bureau was a main target of Lancelot forces. Before the outbreak of war, no one knew the outcome, making it less safe. Therefore, Mia and others had always stayed in Future City.
“Mia, did we see it wrong? Xu Mo was also present in the battle earlier, right?” Elsa asked Mia.
“Maybe we were mistaken?” Mia pondered aloud to Elsa. Otherwise, how could there be two Xu Mos?
However, they both smiled. Xu Mo was becoming more formidable. This time, he had saved the Federation.
It was just unknown whether Lancelot Star would continue attacking the Federation.
……
After Lancelot Star had retreated, the Federation did not pursue. They lacked the capability to chase but instead reorganized.
The Federation President’s Mansion issued a statement, stating that over two-thirds of the Federation Fleet was lost, all warships destroyed, and less than ten percent of the fighter jets remained. The Supreme Commander, Xiang Lie, died in battle, along with many other officers.
The Federation President’s Mansion called for a nationwide moment of silence for the fallen warriors.
At the same time, the Federation President hoped to find the heroic figure. The Federation would award the highest honor, the Purple Gold Medal.
This battle, he had saved the Federation.
Afterward, it was time to handle the aftermath and prepare for the next war. With such heavy losses, Lancelot Star would not likely let things rest and could strike any moment.
The remaining forces of the Federation Army were reorganized, and the President’s Mansion appointed a new Commander.
The citizens, hearing the casualties announced by the President’s Mansion, felt somewhat desperate. They also speculated that Lancelot Star would strike again, plunging them into deep pessimism.
The next time, they wouldn’t have the same luck.
The mysterious strongman had saved the Federation this time by unexpectedly storming into the warship and seizing control. But with one successful attempt, Lancelot Star would not likely give him a second chance.
When the fleet of Lancelot Star next descended, it might spell the downfall of the Federation.
Just when the Federation’s citizens felt despair, the Federation Government shared some good news.
Krusu Star and Camp Star were willing to provide military aid to the Byron Star Federation.
The people of Chuanxing City were familiar with these two planets, not so much with the planets themselves, but their competitors often appeared in the Transcendents’ competitions.
In the Transcendents’ competition attended by Xu Mo, competitors from these two major planets were seed players.
Now, learning that these two major planets were willing to offer military aid to the Byron Star Federation Government, the public naturally rejoiced. According to reports, after encountering the invasion, the Federation Government had been seeking aid, and it finally came through.
It was said that Krusu Star and Camp Star had already begun mobilizing fleets from their mother planets to support Byron Star, opposing the invasion war waged by Lancelot.
After Krusu Star and Camp Star declared their stance, several other major planets announced their willingness to provide military aid to Byron Star, together resisting the invasion from Lancelot. They too opposed the war.
The Federation’s citizens wondered why none of the planets had made such statements before the war. At that time, they hadn’t declared any opposition to the war.
Now, they stepped forward one after another.
Although nominally supporting them, discerning people sensed something was amiss.
However, the President’s Mansion issued a statement, claiming to have held discussions with various major planets about cooperation in many fields going forward and expressing gratitude for their military aid.
With the statement from the President’s Mansion, the people felt much reassured. Perhaps they were overthinking it.
If major planets were willing to provide military assistance, even if the situation was dire, it couldn’t be worse than the devastation Byron Star Federation would face under Lancelot’s next assault, right?
If there was no alien aid, then Lancelot’s next attack would spell the end for Byron Star.
Since there would be no worse outcome, cooperation it is, even if it might come at a cost.
The Xiang Family was enveloped in an atmosphere of sorrow.
This time, the Supreme Commander who died in battle was from their direct lineage, apart from that, many high-ranking members of the Xiang Family in the Federation Army had died in this war.
They died heroically fighting for the Federation, even if they won’t be known by the public, it doesn’t matter; everything was for the Federation.
But at this moment, the Xiang Family felt something was amiss.
After the majority of the high-ranking military officers died, the new commanders had to be appointed, the President’s Mansion, during appointments, neither consulted with them nor employed anyone from the Xiang Family.
In a wartime state, they had vested military power in the President’s Mansion, which held the supreme command power, but it was all for the Federation.
Yet, after the war, the President’s Mansion didn’t even offer condolences before appointing new commanders.
“What did the President’s Mansion say?” At this moment, within the Xiang Family Mansion, Elder Xiang asked Xiang Ye.
“The President’s Mansion responded that Conrad is busy with official duties and has no time,” Xiang Ye said.
“Click…” Elder Xiang clenched his fists tightly, emitting a crisp sound, as a wave of authority emanated from him, his face ashen.
At this time, how could Elder Xiang not understand.
“Very well, the dog has bitten its master,” Elder Xiang said coldly. Conrad was a talented man, and also, his stance had always been correct, maintaining a very friendly relationship with them, showing ample respect to the Xiang Family.
Because of this, he had gradually ascended to the position of Federation President.
Even after becoming the president, Conrad was very aware of how he got his position. Hence, he never put on airs in front of them, always respectful.
This was the first time; busy with official matters, refusing to respond!
Very well.
“What agreement did they reach with the aliens?” Elder Xiang continued to ask.
Such a major matter, and the President’s Mansion didn’t consult them, completely sidelining them.
The President’s Mansion finally looked the part.
A war that upheaved everything, clearly, the President’s Mansion was losing control.
“Unclear, the information is entirely blocked. But there are reports that the aliens’ power has already started to enter the President’s Mansion, not to guard against the Lancelot Star, but to guard against us,” Xiang Ye spoke.
Elder Xiang’s veins bulged as he bellowed in anger: “Damn it, he is betraying the Federation!”
Why did the Byron Star Federation launch this war?
It was to avoid being enslaved and controlled by those arrogant aliens, and for this, they went to war at all costs, preferring to die on the battlefield.

For this, they paid a heavy price; many elites from the second and third generations of the Xiang Family died on the battlefield.
But now, after their deaths, the Federation President’s Mansion invites the wolves into the house, actively bringing the aliens into the President’s Mansion.
Then, what was the purpose of that previous battle?
What about those who died?
What about the sacrifices of the Federation Fleet?
Did they all die in vain, and to no avail!
What’s the difference between those aliens providing military aid and the Lancelot Star? They use different means, only, these people are more hidden, letting the Lancelot Star take the lead, one could say, they used Lancelot Star.
Now, by ‘cooperating’ with these aliens, the so-called cooperation is probably just on the surface.
Everything has come full circle; if so, did they still need to start this war? They could have just cooperated with the Lancelot Star and bowed to the Lancelot Star.
So, did those who died in battle die in vain?
“Conrad is reshuffling through the war,” Xiang Ye said.
Such a cruel method.
Reshuffling through the war, how many people have died for this?
Previously, the Divine Sword Bureau claimed that there were traitors among the Federation’s high ranks; he confidently thought this unlikely.
But now, the high ranks of the Federation might be even higher than he imagined.
Now that the Federation’s armed forces have been destroyed, and high-ranking personnel perished in battle, the people now might have all been replaced by Conrad’s men.
The President’s Mansion invites wolves into the house, cooperating with aliens, which is likely to hand over the Federation on a silver platter.
“The Arrival Faction!”
Xiang Ye said, “The leader of the Arrival Faction, turns out to be the Federation President.”
Indeed, it’s an irony.
Now, the Arrival Faction seems to have achieved their goal, reshuffling through the war.
And yet, the Federation’s citizens, because of a war, seem also to have been roped into it.
The Federation Government, seems to be saving the Byron Star Federation, instead of betraying it!
