The Seventh Base

"Connect to the Mandala Star main ship," Xu Mo said.

"Alright." At the command center, a group swiftly operated, and soon, a buzzing sound emerged. Following that, an image appeared on the command center's screen; Xu Mo saw a handsome, young Commander, Major General Galan of the Mandala Star.

"I am Xu Mo," Xu Mo stated, standing in front of the screen.

Galan looked ahead, his dark eyes gazing at Xu Mo. This time, he too had underestimated the combat power of Byron Star.

"I have a message for you: the Alliance Army of the Star System Alliance has already arrived outside Byron Star. You are doomed to fail. Will you still resist desperately?" Xu Mo continued.

Galan furrowed his brows but then let them relax.

So the mission failed this time. They had been tracked by the Star System Alliance.

He looked at the operator, who turned back and glanced at Galan, nodding slightly. Galan understood that Xu Mo's words were true: they were surrounded, and the Alliance Army had indeed arrived.

"You have no way out. Surrender," Xu Mo said.

For Galan, there was truly no chance of survival now. With the main force of the Star System Alliance arriving, there was no escape for Galan. Even if their warship defeated Byron Star's military forces, they could not avoid the encirclement by the Alliance troops.

"Major General Galan, we still have a chance." Miles from Lancelot Star suddenly looked extremely uneasy. Their operation this time was about to fail, and they were already surrounded.

Galan looked at the screen and said, "Xu Mo."

Xu Mo looked at Galan.

"I admire your ability to develop a primitive star into what it is today in just a few years and to block the advance of the Mandala Star Fleet," Galan said to Xu Mo, "But the Alliance Army of the Star System chose to remain idle, obviously abandoning Byron Star, allowing it to be destroyed by my Mandala Star corps. Given that, why remain with the Star System Alliance? Bring your technology and join us. Mandala Star will have a place for you."

Xu Mo had told Galan the news to make him lose his will to fight and persuade him to surrender, but he hadn't expected Galan to discern the intentions of the Alliance Army and try to persuade him instead.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement," Xu Mo said. "Open fire with all weapons and leave the Mandala Star Fleet behind forever."

After speaking, Xu Mo left the command center, heading outside, fully armed, with armor appearing on his head, covering his entire body.

"Is there a chance to break through?" After cutting off the signal, Galan asked.

The Mandala Star United Kingdom's fleet invaded the Star System Alliance; each warship was a precious asset. Two Ion Battleships had already been destroyed in this battle. He hoped to take the Sword back to minimize losses.

However, in the current situation, they were besieged on both sides, making retreat difficult.

A moment of silence.

"In that case, continue the mission," Galan said, his gaze becoming resolute, with no fear of death.

From the moment they had departed from Mandala Star, they were prepared to die in battle.

Dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for warriors of the Mandala Star United Kingdom.

High above, the battle raged on fiercely.

"Boom..." Two warships belonging to Lancelot Star were also destroyed, engines wrecked, losing power, descending, then beams hit the falling warships, destroying them mid-air in a frenzied explosion.

The Sword fired five Vortex Laser Cannons simultaneously. Five beams pierced through space, heading downward, the ground-to-air weapons intercepting furiously, yet two beams still fell, creating a storm of destruction.

But at this moment, on the ground, gigantic steel petals unfolded, the energy reactor superweapon fired again, brilliant blue beams shot upward, like a storm of energy beams formed by countless rays intertwined, hitting the massive warship above.

Inside the warship, piercing alarms sounded shrilly.

"The warship's shield is destroyed."

"Boom..." As soon as the words were spoken, the warship and fighter jets in the air continued attacking, starting to destroy the ship's body.

Galan took a glance at the battlefield at this moment. Of the fleet's five large warships, only this main ship was left. The rest were escort ships and fighter jets that continued to fight, also suffering heavy losses as the enemy's firepower was very fierce.

He secured his helmet and then turned to leave, saying, "Follow me."

Capturing Xu Mo and forcing Byron Star to surrender was their one last chance of survival.

Moments later, the Sword's hatch opened, and out came Galan in white armor, followed by several fully armed people.

The group had solemn expressions.

Galan didn't speak. His body dived downwards, heading straight down, with several figures following him. In the distance, numerous fighter jets headed their way for escort, while Byron Star's fighter jets madly fired at them.

"Buzz." Several fighter jets charged straight from afar, firing at Galan, but Galan's reaction speed was terrifying, instantly dodging the fire, swinging the sword in his hand out, and a terrifying laser beam appeared in the air, striking the fighter jet, exploding it in an instant.
