The Seventh Base

The Alliance Fleet halted above Chuanxing City, and from the opened hatch of each warship, a fully armed group descended towards the ground.

On the main ship, the descending person was General Gilson of Lucas Star, responsible for this mission.

However, the outcome was not as expected; the Mandala Star fleet was actually destroyed, and the remaining forces chose to surrender.

Byron Star had won the war without needing them to act, rendering their plan unexecutable.

It wasn't just General Gilson of Lucas Star; other commanders from the major planets of the Star System Alliance stepped out from their warships, equally astonished by Byron Star's formidable military prowess.

A civilization once considered subordinate has recently risen in the last one or two years. Since Xu Mo recaptured Byron Star, not much time has passed. How could Byron Star achieve its current combat power?

They were all aware of Mandala Star's combat power. In this operation, Mandala Star deployed three of their warships, while only two were from the Lancelot Star. Even with only three ships, Mandala Star's strength was such that they would not fear even a force three times their size.

It seems the power of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group is stronger than they anticipated. In just one or two years, Byron Star's military strength has undergone a transformation.

The group proceeded downwards, arriving on the lower ground where Xu Mo and Commander Ben were present, watching the descending figures.

General Gilson removed his helmet, revealing a sharp, imposing face.

Xu Mo recognized Gilson; it was this very general who had previously informed the Olay family, resulting in an attack on a Blue Star Energy Technology Group ship and the deaths of over two hundred crew members.

"I am General Gilson from the Lucas Star Federation." Gilson looked down towards Xu Mo below, embodying the traits of a soldier—cold, stern, exuding an invisible pressure.

"Xu Mo," Xu Mo responded calmly. Despite General Gilson's high status in the Lucas Star Federation, Byron Star is an independent planet, and in terms of identity, he certainly did not consider himself below the other.

However, the difference between planets makes it difficult to compare status directly with position.

The king of a weak planet can only bow in front of the general of a powerful planet.

"The Star System Alliance received news that the Mandala Star Fleet would attack Byron Star, so the alliance army came here to intercept. But now that Byron Star has already taken down the Mandala Star Fleet, the alliance fleet need not act," Major General Jackson declared. "Next, the Star System Alliance needs to interrogate the Mandala people and study Mandala's weapons, requiring Byron Star to hand over the captured fleet and personnel to the alliance for transportation to the alliance headquarters."

Below, those hearing Major General Jackson's words showed angry expressions. Previously, these people watched from the sidelines, parking the fleet above Byron Star without engaging, allowing the two sides to battle to the death and witnessing Byron Star's moment of crisis.

Now that the battle is over, they come to collect the spoils of war?

This behavior is simply too shameless.

However, a powerful planet has a strong voice, and Major General Jackson represents the Star System Alliance, so such occurrences are not surprising. In times of war, such things happen frequently.

From a principle standpoint, Byron Star is also a member of the Star System Alliance, naturally obligated to cooperate with the alliance fleet.

"General Gilson, in this war, our Byron Star paid a heavy price and needs to try the Mandala people ourselves. As for the fleet, it is Byron Star's spoils of war," Xu Mo replied, his tone remaining calm, without pointing out the alliance army's passive observation—not necessary to mention.

However, they couldn't possibly hand over the prisoners and the spoils.

Otherwise, what was the point of fighting this war?

Who will compensate for Byron Star's losses?

"Byron Star, cooperate and transfer them!" General Gilson commanded, his tone cold and authoritative, as if this were an order from above, not a discussion with Xu Mo.

He ordered Byron Star to transfer the prisoners and the spoils.

Hearing General Gilson's forceful voice, the people of Byron Star grew angrier, stepping forward as their armor clattered, staring at the other side.

These bastards!

However, the large fleet hovering above gave them a strong sense of oppression—a powerful force is the basis of the other's arrogance.

If only they had such military power, they would not fear the other side.

"Fine," Xu Mo spoke up, "In this war, Byron Star suffered considerable loss. If the Star System Alliance is willing to cover all of Byron Star's war casualties, they can take the prisoners and warships."

High above, many were here for the spectacle. This operation was led by Lucas Star, with their fleet occupying the main position, thus having the highest voice.

Clearly, there is a rift between Lucas Star and Xu Mo.

Xu Mo dared to negotiate, asking the Star System Alliance to bear Byron Star's losses?

This is clearly impossible.

As they understood General Gilson, he was young and promising, with exceptional talent in both personal and military aspects. This is why he could become the youngest major general in the Lucas Star Federation.
