The Seventh Base

Byron Star, Chuanxing City.

The war in Steel Dome City had caught the attention of many, with media reporting on the conflict and broadcasting a speech by Sun Youcai, the Mayor of Steel Dome City.

At first, the news spread within a small area, but the impact on the citizens of Chuanxing City was so immense that it rapidly fermented into widespread upheaval, rippling out through the city cluster and towards the rest of Byron Star.

Steel Dome City officially declared that the current Federation Government is a puppet regime controlled by aliens and refused to recognize it.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau, after relocating to an underground base in Steel Dome City following the war years ago, had ventured to alien planets to establish the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, creating a military base and even an interstellar fleet.

The military might of Steel Dome City had crushed an invading alien fleet.

As one can imagine, this news had stirred a massive storm. Back then, when the alien fleet arrived, the Federation Government had been defenseless, and a mysterious hero together with the Divine Sword Bureau had saved the Federation. However, afterward, the Federation turned traitor by colluding with alien planets, branding Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau as rebels and launching a hunt to capture them.

Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau were forced to flee.

Now, they had returned, having assembled their own fleet. Suddenly, countless people hoped Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau would strike back at Chuanxing City to reclaim control of the Federation Government.

They also knew that several alien star systems backed the Federation Government, and the Divine Sword Bureau's power might still be insufficient for an assault, which is why they hadn't come to take back the government.

But at least, this incident gave countless people hope.

They felt that one day the hero would return.

The Federation Government naturally received news of this event as well.

President's Mansion.

Conrad and the officials of the Federation Government were watching footage of the war that had taken place in Steel Dome City. Conrad's face was extremely grim.

Xu Mo and his associates had formed their own combat team and destroyed the invading fleet. If this force were to attack the Federation Government, could they withstand it?

Without the help of aliens, the current Federation Government would probably fail to resist Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau's army.

This scene struck many as ironic. After bringing in aliens, the Federation Government had not developed its own military forces. Instead, the fugitives Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau had developed a formidable military strength.

This completely contradicted what they had claimed back then, when they introduced aliens supposedly to develop Byron Star, to transform it and start anew.

"If they had been willing to hand over the technology of the Deep Sea Civilization!" Conrad coldly spoke, shifting the blame to Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau for not cooperating in surrendering the technology of the Deep Sea Civilization.

"If things continue like this, the military power of Steel Dome City will only grow stronger, and they will eventually attack the Federation Government. How will we respond then?" someone asked, expecting help from aliens?

The people of Camp Star, even if they were defeated, they could just leave, but what about them? Would they leave as well?

Conrad was silent; he had no answer to this question.

They had no capability to attack Steel Dome City, and it seemed that Camp Star and others were also apprehensive about taking action.

This operation had been launched without their knowledge, which was why no one in the base had received information about it.

"Camp Star and others will not allow the Blue Star Energy Technology Group to develop unchecked," Conrad said. It seemed to be the only thing he could say, possibly for self-consoling, but he had no other option.

The current Blue Star Energy Technology Group had the support of several leading planets in the Star System Alliance, and Camp Star and their ilk dared not act rashly. Had they wished to take action, they would have done so already.

......

Lucas Star, Federation Government Building.

King Richard walked outside, followed by a group of people. Just then, someone approached them and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the King."

"Hmm," King Richard nodded.

"There's news about an incident on Byron Star. The Blue Star Energy Technology base there suffered an attack by the Black God Fleet," the person reported.

"The Black God Fleet?" inquired King Richard. "Those interstellar parasites, how is the base of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group faring?"

"They repelled the Black God Fleet. Only their flagship escaped, while the rest of the fleet was completely annihilated."

"The combat power of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group is so strong?" King Richard revealed a hint of surprise. He knew of the Black God Fleet, infamous criminals wanted by the Star System Alliance, and their undeniable strength. That Blue Star Energy Technology could repel them was unexpected.

"Your Majesty, take a look," said the person as they activated the screen, with projections unfolding into images revealing the intense battle that had taken place on Byron Star. The battle was brief but fierce.

After watching, King Richard showed an astonished expression and said, "The Blue Star Energy Technology Group's anti-air weaponry has reached such a level—have they made purchases from several planets?"

"Your Majesty, not long ago, Princess Elizabeth assisted Blue Star Energy Technology in connecting with some top-end suppliers to purchase high-grade equipment for making superpower weapons, along with top-tier materials. Blue Star Energy Technology should now be capable of independently manufacturing superpower weapons," another person spoke up.
