Chapter 147: The Mandala Star Threat
Lucas Star, Federation Government Office.
King Richard and the ministers of the Federation Government watched the battle reports, their expressions slightly grim.
The war has been ongoing for less than a year now, and Mandala Star's advance is very fast, having already invaded over seventy planets. If this continues, one-third of the planets will soon fall.
Moreover, the planets invaded by the Mandala Star United Kingdom's fleet have been completely plundered, losing high-end combat power. Apart from the space fleet, ordinary combat power is useless in interstellar warfare.
The key issue is that so far they have been unable to stop Mandala Star's expansion. Many planets have started surrendering one after another. They are disappointed with the Star System Alliance's strategy, and since the alliance cannot protect them, they might as well join Mandala Star.
At this moment, they are watching a video. In the video, a Mandala Star fleet invades Lancelot Star, with several strong beams of light released from the flagship, causing Lancelot Star's fleet to be directly paralyzed, and the warships and fighters lose their combat power.
"This is the main ship of Mandala Star's home fleet, equipped with powerful ion cannons. When fired, it forms a super energy pulse that can destroy all electronic devices, rendering warships and mechanical bodies powerless, the fleet's nemesis. If our fleet encounters it, we will be very passive," Field pointed to the Mandala Star warship and said.
"So, it's similar to the effect of our pulse weapons, but with greater power?" King Richard asked.
"The power is amplified many times over," Field replied.
"Is the Mandala Star fleet resting on Lancelot Star?" King Richard inquired. Lancelot Star has already surrendered and is now a supply base for Mandala Star.
"After Lancelot Star's surrender, a fleet left from Lancelot Star, and we are monitoring its movements. I believe we will have results soon." Field continued to speak.
"Hmm." King Richard nodded: "Field, deploy a new strategic plan. We can't remain passive like this."
"Yes, your majesty," Field nodded in agreement, then went back to his seat to continue the meeting. Recently, he received an encrypted message that left him a bit surprised. He stood up and approached King Richard, saying, "The Mandala fleet that left Lancelot Star has maneuvered into the depths of the star domain, entering our rear. According to the calculated trajectory possibilities, the data shows that the most likely target planet is Byron Star." ThisversionwassourcedfromMVL^EMPYR.
"Byron Star." King Richard showed a hint of surprise. Byron Star, after causing some trouble at that meeting, had its representative, Xu Mo, absent in the following day. He had left Lucas Star directly, refusing to join the Star System Alliance's military alliance.
King Richard was very dissatisfied with this. Moreover, he heard that recently Byron Star had been quietly developing, profiting from the war by selling their weapons to various major planets. Furthermore, the Blue Star Energy Technology Group had issued an announcement, inviting planets from the Star System Alliance to procure from Byron Star.
Now, could it be that Mandala Star's fleet might go to attack Byron Star?
King Richard quickly realized that it must have been Lancelot Star who informed Mandala Star that Byron Star possessed advanced civilization technology, which is why Mandala Star would launch a surprise attack on a low-level civilization in a remote area.
"How strong is this fleet?" King Richard asked.
"It's composed of only a few warships, but we can't rule out having a powerful flagship. If the Star System Alliance Army goes to Byron Star, there's a chance to intercept them," Field said. "Should we inform Byron Star to prepare defensive measures?"
King Richard glanced at Field. Douglas was almost killed by Xu Mo. Would Field be so kind-hearted?
Internally cold, this old fox was testing him.
"Byron Star's strength is not weak anymore. There's no need to cause unnecessary panic. As a member of the Star System Alliance, we can't stand by and do nothing. Let's immediately draft a plan. If Mandala Star takes military action against Byron Star, we will intercept them outside Byron Star, and keep Mandala Star's fleet pinned in Byron Star," King Richard said.
"Yes, your majesty," Field nodded. King Richard's intention was clear: they would intercept on the outside and let Mandala Star fight Byron Star first.
Old ginger is still hot.
......
Byron Star, after a period of reorganization, Qiu Yuan and Wood led a powerful fleet leaving the planet.
This time their fleet consists of eight large warships, each equipped with fighters and armed personnel. They are carrying out a special plan to annihilate the Black God Fleet. Of course, if they can be integrated, that would be ideal.
The Black God Fleet has been roaming the interstellar for many years and is one of the most powerful interstellar thieves forces, consisting of more than a dozen warships, comparable to the armed forces of a mid-level civilized planet.
However, since targeting Byron Star, the Black God Fleet has lost more than half of its forces.
Most of Byron Star's fleet was contributed by the Black God Fleet.
To thank the Black God Fleet, this time they plan to fully assimilate and integrate the Black God Fleet. With the former third-ranking member of the Black God Fleet, Wood, and their more advanced detection technology, they believe their Byron Star Fleet's first mission outside will undoubtedly be a complete success.
