However, the Sirius Star was strong. Manalasuo calculated their losses. Even if they managed to defeat the Sirius Star, it would be costly for Manalasuo, but it was different now. In the bigger picture, the two countries that were the greatest threats were now busy, and the Sirius Star had just suffered a loss against Tita. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Manalasuo.

However, the final decision was made by Admiral Bolet, but it has to be said, this Admiral was the symbol of Manalasuo’s rise to power. Most people thought that Manalasuo had assembled their armies to fight against Aslan and Arbiter, but they did not expect Manalasuo’s true aim to be the Sirius Star.

Bolet felt that in the current galaxy, a battle royale did not exist. Some countries had lost their wildness and were not a threat. The battle this time was a reshuffle of the ferocious countries. There was no need to strike others. As long as they destroyed one or two notable countries, and expanded their resources, they would take hold of the future.

This was the time for the great Federal Republic of Manalasuo to rise!

Jondi Lilick, Vincent, and the rest represented the elites of Manalasuo’s younger generation, and completely represented the highest standards of the current Milky Way Alliance. A new era was coming!

For Bolet, there was only one thing that he regretted: Wang Zheng not being a member of Manalasuo. When the Sirius Star invaded Tita, everyone felt that Tita would not make it, and only Bolet believed that the Tita Star to hold back the Sirius Star. No one understood the depths of Wang Zheng’s talent better than him. A single Heaven-rank was sufficient, and Wang Zheng would definitely achieve Heaven-rank at this time. He was proven right, and it may have even exceeded his expectations.

If Manalasuo had an individual like Wang Zheng, together with their reserves, they would be able to challenge Aslan and Arbiter.

War and peace was the fate of humans.

Manalasuo’s aim was clear. If Sirius went against the Milky Way Alliance’s charter and carried out acts of invasion, as a permanent member, Manalasuo would carry out punishment on them. Sirius had two options: hand over their weapons and wait for inspection, or go to war.

It was clear that the people of Sirius had chosen the latter, as they had no other options.

More bad news came after that. In that short period of three hours, another permanent member, the Hail Cloud Alliance, made the same declaration. If the people of Sirius did not surrender their weapons, they would declare war on the Sirius Star.

The role of hunter and prey was immediately switched.

Compared to the Aslan Empire and Arbiter Republic battlefield, which was pressurizing and fought with caution, this battlefield had a major reversal of roles.

Nearly everyone thought that the Sirius Star would easily defeat Tita, but it ended with the Sirius Star, which had one of the Milky Way Alliance’s top ten mech armies, the Animal Legion, being defeated by a group of native people.

The army of the native people had a name everyone was familiar with: the Saruman Snake army.

Once again, Wang Zheng’s name was known throughout the world as the youngest Heaven-rank expert was born.

If only one person in the younger generation could enter Heaven-rank, it had to be Wang Zheng, and this was a fact.

However, Wang Zheng’s growth was unheard of. It seemed like each attack and trial before him was just creating the conditions for him to grow.

With a Heaven-rank expert around, and such a young one as well, together with the insane fighting strength of the barbarians, unless Wang Zheng was removed from the equation, not many countries would dare to offend the Tita Star.

The problem was, against the pressure from two strong countries, the Sirius Star was thinking about retreating, but there were tens of thousands of troops on the ground from the main mech army. They were now in a difficult situation, so how could they leave?

It was easy to come, but to leave, they have to see if the Titans were willing to let them leave.

Millions of giants came out from deep within the mountains. Even though they were equipped with primitive weapons, these giants were a considerable fighting force.

This was part of Mu Sen’s plan. When the battle first began, the giants lacked proper equipment, but in the current situation, the sheer amount of giants could play a critical role. Whatever it may be, it would be a spectacular sight for those in space.

Lieutenant General Lancer was the new Commander-in-Chief for Sirius’ expeditionary force, but he was unwilling to take up this role. This was the Sirius Star’s humiliation, and even if Heaven-rank warriors came, it would be too late. Against the pressure from Manalasuo and the Hail Cloud Alliance, it would be difficult to even to protect themselves. If it was only against the Hail Cloud Alliance, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, against Manalasuo, which was the world’s third strongest country, the Sirius Star needed to go all out.

Hence, the tens of thousands of mecha had to retreat, but the problem was, they were unable to.

Although Tita Star possessed limited air power, they have seen the prowess of the Heaven-rank warrior. If the people of Tita attempted an attack when Sirius was retreating, how many people would be able to return to the Sirius Star?

The intention of the higher ups was to negotiate.

But Sirius had no room for negotiations. The current people of Sirius were facing imminent death, and there was nothing else more important than that.

Mu Sen was in charge of the negotiations. On the other side, Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu had brought people to the temple to find Wang Zheng. Once the battle ended, Wang Zheng did not appear once. Mu Sen judged that he would most likely be at the temple, as this model of mech had appeared more than once, and the last time it appeared, it was at the temple.

While Wang Zheng had not mentioned it last time, Mu Sen felt that using it must have come at a cost. However, Mu Sen had to remain calm in front of Lancer, and only through doing so could he attain the best terms for the Tita Star.

Once the communications got through, Mu Sen and Lancer began a round of meaningless exchanges. Lancer expressed that this war was a mistake and such, while Mu Sen casually chatted with him. Since Lancer wanted to play, he had all day to play as the people of the Sirius Star did not have much time left.

Soon, Lancer realized that the old man from Tita in front of him was more shameless than he had thought. He was a lieutenant general, not a negotiation expert. In the end, he could only come clean.

Mu Sen smiled. “Leave your battleships behind, the cargo ships can bring your mech forces and leave.”

Lancer was stunned for a moment. This old man had to be crazy. Leave their battleships behind? How were they going to return home? If they were attacked, it would result in total annihilation.

“Governor Mu Sen, while you have Heaven-rank experts, it does not determine the fate of this war. If we decide we want mutual destruction, the Tita Star will definitely be destroyed!” Lieutenant General Lancer warned sternly.

Mu Sen smiled once more. “Lieutenant General Lancer, I’m sure you understand how the people of Tita are. We’d rather die standing than cower in fear. We are not afraid of death, and definitely not afraid of being destroyed.”

These were the people of Tita. There was nothing much for them to lose. Just like showing a hand in a game of poker, all that is left was to see if their opponent had the courage to do the same.

If it was up against another country, Sirius may not have believed it, but the Tita Star was like this from the beginning – they were willing to risk their lives. But now, the Sirius Star no longer had anything left to use against them.
