THE SEVENTH BASE

Chapter 478: Chapter 83: Turbulence of War

The conflict escalated continually, with civilians armed with guns trying to enter the leased territory but how could they be a match for the advanced-equipped Lancelot Star People? The death toll was heavy, yet still, they breached some areas and injured several Lancelot Star People.

But for this, they paid an extremely painful price.

Subsequently, the armed forces present in Chuanxing City intervened, also entering the Lancelot Star leased territory. They received orders from the City Government to forcibly evacuate the civilians from the leased territory, but to no avail. They too were met with a counterattack by the armed forces of Lancelot Star, and gunfire broke out between both sides.

Everything was headed in an uncontrollable direction.

Afterward, a spokesperson from Lancelot Star issued a statement, claiming that Byron Star had violated the Star System Alliance’s treaty by invading the Lancelot Star leased territory, causing significant losses. Lancelot Star would take action in retaliation. Moreover, according to the regulations of the Star System Alliance’s treaty, Lancelot Star would assemble a war fleet to come to Byron Star for self-defense.

Following this, several major planets joined in, issuing a joint condemnation statement and announcing that they would also send fleets to Byron Star.

The Star System Alliance’s treaty was established to prohibit warfare between planets and to prevent the outbreak of warfare between them. According to the treaty of the Star System Alliance, members are not allowed to deploy war fleets into the airspace of alien planets.

Unless one party initiates a war by violating the Star System Alliance’s treaty first.

Lancelot Star had already deployed numerous armed forces into Byron Star previously, but it was still within a controllable range, and Byron Star could handle it. But now, Lancelot Star claimed it would send a war fleet.

If so, it would no longer be a small-scale fight.

Moreover, Lancelot Star had allies.

Deploying a war fleet to Byron Star was extremely costly. If it had been before, Lancelot Star wouldn’t have done this, even though Xu Mo had killed Amanda in a duel, Lancelot Star’s reaction hadn’t been too severe.

But times have changed, and they suspected Xu Mo had brought back equipment and Energy Bodies from the Deep Sea Battleship, all of which would allow them to recoup their costs, and even, the profit would exceed the costs.

What’s more, they would also obtain the Super Energy Body and the Deep Sea Battleship.

Chuanxing City entered a state of emergency.

The events that occurred in the Lancelot Star leased territory, followed by their statement, shook Chuanxing City. The Federation Government was also discussing emergency countermeasures. How should they handle it?

Mayor Liu Feng set out before receiving orders from the President’s Mansion, and issued commands to the armed forces he could mobilize within Chuanxing City.

At the Divine Sword Bureau, many people gathered at the square outside the bureau, looking up at the large screen showing chaotic scenes from the Lancelot Star leased territory, and the one-sided slaughter.

In the face of absolute power, the anger of the people and their numerical advantage had no meaning whatsoever.

People continuously emerged from the Divine Sword Bureau, all fully armed.

At that moment, Shi Qiang received a communication from the mayor of Chuanxing City, Liu Feng.

“Liu Feng,” Shi Qiang said to Ge Hong.

“Turn on the speakerphone,” Ge Hong commanded.

Shi Qiang nodded and connected the call.

“Mr. Liu Feng,” Shi Qiang called out.

“Director Shi,” Mayor Liu Feng said, “you must already be aware of the incident. Lancelot Star has been waiting for an opportunity, and someone deliberately provided this opportunity, giving Lancelot Star an excuse to invade. This was no accident, it was orchestrated.”

“For years, Byron Star has been recuperating, we all want to avoid repeating the past, the shameful war hundreds of years ago, no one wants a replay. Development needs external assistance because on our own, we can’t even step out of Byron Star.”

“Now, Byron Star is gradually seeing the dawn. We just need to hold on for a few more years, the efforts of one or two generations. Therefore, even if it means enduring some humiliation personally, it doesn’t matter. Although many alien races are watching covetously, as long as we adhere to the Star System Alliance treaty, we can still buy a little more time. However, in recent years, there are those within the Federation who are unwilling to wait any longer. I don’t know what their purpose is, but if a war breaks out now, based on known information, Byron Star has no chance of winning.”

“The public isn’t aware of the actual situation, nor of the real disparity in strength. They are ruled by emotions, blinded by anger. Though I am angrier than they are, anger doesn’t solve anything; it only leads to greater casualties. Wars between planets should not have to be paid for with the blood of the public. This is a matter for the Federation Government and the military.”

“Over the years, I thank the Divine Sword Bureau for your support, and I hope the Divine Sword Bureau will be able to root out the Federation’s traitors and keep the public out of the war. I am powerless now. After this incident, I will resign my post,” said Mayor Liu Feng, understanding that he could no longer continue as the mayor.

After hanging up the call, Liu Feng’s flying device continued toward the Lancelot Star leased territory, accompanied by several fighter jets escorting, as a large number of Chuanxing City’s armed forces entered.

At the Divine Sword Bureau, Shi Qiang hung up the call and looked at Ge Hong.

“The armed forces under Liu Feng’s control can’t possibly match Lancelot Star. His journey there is not meant to start a battle but most likely to persuade the people to evacuate,” Shi Qiang said, “Given this, he must know that he can no longer be mayor. He will be vilified and bear all the condemnation from the Federation.”
