The Seventh Base

Lucas Star Capital, everyone successively received the news, and they stopped all celebrations for the Lune Festival.

All the screens on the streets of the Capital suddenly switched to the same image, showing a scene from outside the planet.

A Star Shield was deployed around Lucas Star, displaying images transmitted from the Star Shield. An imposing fleet was approaching, charging toward Lucas Star.

The Star Shield defense activated, countless weapons targeted the visiting fleet.

Next, another image appeared, the Star Shield connected to the main warship of the opposing side, showing a stern face.

"I am Hades, a member of the Mandala Star Royal Family, invited here to negotiate." Hades spoke calmly to the camera. As his words ended, the Star Shield defense was withdrawn, and a pathway opened, allowing the fleet to continue downward into the planet.

However, every move of the fleet was under surveillance, clearly visible to everyone.

At that moment, all communications on Lucas Star were covered and connected by the Star Shield, switching to a unified screen.

"Hades," the people of Lucas Star trembled inwardly. Faced with the Star Shield, Hades from Mandala Star remained incredibly calm. Was this confidence in his fleet's strength?

Considering his young age, such a young yet high-ranking member of the Royal Family was likely a prince of the Mandala United Star Royal Family.

The Prince personally leading the fleet for negotiations, that courage alone was quietly admirable.

However, admiration was admiration, and stances were stances. The two parties stood on opposite sides as mortal enemies. Once a war started, it would be disastrous for both sides.

As for the negotiations, everyone held little hope; reaching an agreement seemed very difficult.

"The fleet is heading toward the capital."

In the Royal Castle, people in the banquet hall began to walk out, looking at the large screen opposite them. A fleet had already entered Lucas Star.

The leading Starship was a silver-grey warship, gleaming with a cold metallic luster. Its huge forebody was shaped like a boundless gigantic sword.

In various parts of Lucas Star, warships took off simultaneously. Squadrons rushed into the sky, heading towards the direction of the Mandala Star fleet. If there were any signs of the Mandala Star fleet initiating an attack, they were ready to strike immediately.

However, Lucas Star's fleet did not appear on the screen; only the Mandala Star's fleet was visible.

In various military bases, countless military personnel started busying themselves, ready to respond to combat at any moment, even though it was just a negotiation, it was still intensely thrilling.

Of course, the people of Lucas Star could not see any of this; the preparations were all behind the scenes.

"Are they locked on?" a general in the Military District asked.

"All locked on. If Mandala Star launches an attack, we can cover them in a brief moment," someone responded. Lucas Star, as the leader of the Star System Alliance, boasted a formidable military power. Mandala Star had brought only one fleet, and they were confident they could easily obliterate it.

Blue Star Energy Technology Group, Xu Mo's residence. He sat on a sofa looking at the electronic screen in front of him, which also displayed the fleet's images. Ye Qingdie sat beside him, watching together.

"Mandala Star chose to come on Lune Festival. Are they deliberately causing trouble?" Ye Qingdie whispered.

"Lune Festival is a holiday specific to Lucas Star; Mandala Star may not know much about it. This is probably a coincidence," Xu Mo guessed. "However, the courage of this Mandala Star prince to lead a fleet here alone shows his guts. If Lucas Star forcefully retains them, there is a chance."

"How strong is Lucas Star's military power?" Ye Qingdie asked curiously.

"It's unclear; don't think too much about it. It's definitely beyond what our Blue Star Energy Technology Group can compare to. As the leader of the Star System Alliance, Lucas Star's weapons and equipment must all be top-notch. And they have experienced interstellar wars; their weapons are surely super weapons from star wars. Just last year, Lancelot Star could easily mobilize three warships when it invaded Byron Star, implying Lancelot Star's total number of Starships is at least in the dozens," Xu Mo explained.

Lancelot Star would not possibly deploy all their warships to attack Byron Star; Xu Mo guessed that at most, they used one fifth of their force.

This is an estimate. As for the exact number of warships, that belongs to the military secrets of the major planets. High-level officials from various planets may know some details, but he was not privy to this information.

If Lancelot Star has dozens, the standing committee stars surely start with several dozen warships. Being the leader of the Star System Alliance, Lucas Star might have the largest number of warships. This count is just for the giant warships, not mentioning the fleets and other weapons. Their military power must be exceedingly strong, and their Blue Star Energy Technology Group is far behind.

Frankly speaking, given the current situation, even a planet like Camp Star launching a full-scale attack on them, Byron Star might still hold up, but if Lucas Star were to attack them, it would be like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, completely effortless.

Xu Mo hadn't grown arrogant from a few victorious battles to forget his own strength. If Byron Star wanted to develop, they needed to leverage various powers to guard against military strikes from other planets, to skulk along, accumulate power.

He had allied with various standing committee stars for this very reason.

Currently, they had seven warships; only when they had seventy would they have the capital to speak arrogantly.
