Chapter 1218: 1218
“President, there’s a new piece of news from Twilight . Duke Allomore has disappeared . ” General Adam came in with bad news .
Adam was the superior of the white-haired general who was observing the battle between Twilight and the Federation .
The president frowned . “What happened?”
“Ling Xiao didn’t attack the capital of Twilight . He chose to attack Three Stars Lock instead . ” Adam’s expression was dark . “Duke Allomone was stationed at Three Stars Lock based on our plan . ”
“It means that Ling Xiao has succeeded . ” The president lowered his eyes . No emotions could be seen on his face .
“Yes . Three Stars Lock is completely destroyed . If Twilight doesn’t receive any replenishment of supplies from the other nations, it will collapse . ” Adam smiled bitterly . They wanted to use Twilight to probe the Federation to see what the Federation’s limit was . Yet, now, no harm seemed to be done to the Federation and one of their god-class operators was even missing because of this . Was he captured by their enemy or was he dead?
Adam quickly kicked the latter thought out of his mind . How could a god-class operator die? He must have surrendered and volunteered to become the Federation’s ‘guest’ .
“Did they find Ling Xiao?” The president was concerned about Ling Xiao’s movements .
“No . Twilight was a step too late . Ling Xiao managed to escape . ” Adam gave a forced smile .
“He didn’t escape . He retreated safely,” the president calmly replied .
“Yes . Twilight can only use such words to cover up their failure . ” Adam felt the same way too .
The president sighed . He leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes .
The room was dead silent . The silence lasted for a few minutes . Adam could stand it anymore so he promptly asked in a soft voice, “President, are we going to continue waiting?”
Caesar was prepared to fight the Federation . They were just waiting for the order from their president . This meant that an intergalactic war was just a single approval away from starting . Caesar hoped that they could use this chance to defeat the Federation to become the sole ruler of all nations .
The president opened his eyes and stood up slowly . He walked to the virtual map of the universe that was displayed on the podium opposite of him . He looked at the two nations with the largest landmass . One was Caesar and the other was Huaxia . A complex expression flashed past his eyes .
After a few seconds, he said, “Yes… the time is not right . ”
“When is the right time?” Adam said impatiently .
The president turned and glared at him .
Adam felt his heart dropping . He hurriedly lowered his head and kept quiet .
The president’s expression softened . He replied indifferently, “Don’t be anxious . Glory would only award the patient . ”
‘Must I bear with it?’ General Adam sighed in frustration . However, he didn’t dare to say otherwise . The president was the most powerful figure in Caesar . Both the government and the military had to listen to him . The president could only be impeached by the Legislative Council if he did anything to harm the nation or made any fatal mistake . If the impeachment was successful, he would then be removed from office .
“We must only fight when we have enough benefits to gain . It is just not enough right now . ” The president was an ambitious person .
General Adam started pondering . He thought of something
“Tell the people below to hold their temper . Once the time is right, they can release all their anger at once,” the president spoke calmly again . His tone was indifferent but the words he said were ruthless .
General Adam trembled as he quickly answered, “Yes, president . ”
At Base Nebula, Little Four managed to intercept the news that Ling Xiao had successfully destroyed Three Stars Lock and retreated unscathed . He immediately told Boss about it .
“Boss, good news . Father managed to destroy the logistics headquarters of Twilight at Three Stars Lock . This is a huge merit . ” Little Four excitedly danced in Ling Lan’s mindscape .
Ling Lan wasn’t as excited as Little Four . She seemed worried instead .
Little Four’s heart dropped . His cheering arms froze in mid-air . He asked curiously, “Boss, what happened? Is this a bad thing?”
Ling Lan shook her head . “It’s not bad . It’s just that someone might get impatient . ”
Her father’s enemy wouldn’t let him climb to the peak so smoothly . Maybe they were already planning something against him . Her mother belonged to the Lan family which was based on Planet General . Even if they didn’t recognise her publicly, they wouldn’t let anyone harm her, so it would be easy for her father’s enemy to target her mother . On the contrary, she was at the Nebula Boundary with no one supporting her, making her an easy target .
That was why her father told her to get prepared before he left . If she was right, the Lingtian Independent Army would receive a new order soon .
After some time, the news that Ling Xiao successfully destroyed Three Stars Lock spreaded across the galaxy .
The war on Qi Yaoyang’s side had come to a standstill . No one was able to win or lose . However, after knowing that Ling Xiao had ambushed Three Stars Lock, Twilight suddenly gave up their frontline and the planets on their borders . They met up with the divisions that recently came from Three Stars Lock and prepared for retaliation .
Qi Yaoyang didn’t dare to act rashly as he only had one division under his command . Even if he had four god-class operators, it would be almost impossible for him to fight against five divisions and four god-class operators .
Since Ling Xiao’s 23rd division was already exposed, the 4th division stopped hiding and quickly joined the 13th division . The 7th division continued to fight against two divisions and one god-class operator .
Qi Yaoyang immediately reported the situation to the headquarters and asked for reinforcements . The headquarters moved quickly too and sent new divisions out .
The war between Twilight and the Federation was paused for a moment . Instead, the battlefield changed to the meeting of the Intergalactic United Nations instead . The representatives from Twilight condemned Ling Xiao for killing innocent citizens of their nation . They wanted the Intergalactic United Nations to punish Ling Xiao .
The representatives from the Federation scoffed at their statement . They were at war . No one cared about humanitarianism at such times . Were they hoping that the soldiers from the Federation would stick their necks out voluntarily and let them chop it? Three Stars Lock was the logistics headquarters of Twilight . Where did the innocent citizens come from?
The representatives from the two countries argued furiously . Sometimes, they would curse each other and maybe even do some warm-up exercises to flex their strength . The foreign relations officers from the Federation were well-versed in physical skills so it was easy for them to occasionally throw some files and cups over . They might even occasionally throw a table or a chair for dramatic effect .
