Chapter 1403: Danger to the Solar System

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

How could this world be missing the great King Lear? Wouldn’t that be too lonely?

Achilles, Lie Xin, and the rest would still need to serve under his feet. What would the Solar System be after he controlled Aslan?

Lear’s heart was on fire. The night had gone and the way was now lit up. The Locks family would… no, the Lear family would now carry on forever. He would get Sharjah to adjust the genes until they were perfect to obtain eternal life and forge a permanent empire!

The Solar System, which was belittled by Lear, was indeed depressed. Their military reform was good, but not timely. An important part of the reform was the existence of the Norton Star. The Norton Star was armed with the best weapons from the Milky Way Alliance. It was equivalent to the Solar System not owning it; therefore, the Solar System hoped to deal with the enemy in space.

The Maacah Republic’s fleet was huge. This battle was important to them, so they were fully prepared.

There was only the Maacah Republic’s fleet and a fleet from the Ghana Star on the surface. In actual fact, the air force was mostly from the Maacah Republic. The land forces would be able to flatten the Solar System once they were able to land.

The Solar System wasn’t that weak though. The space battles were still important.

In the Pluto Star Field, the fleet sizes couldn’t be compared to that of Aslan and Arbiter, but this was also a rare war in this star field. The Solar System hadn’t seen any large scale wars over the past years and rarely participated in regional wars as well. It was necessary to build strength when the military wasn’t strong enough. However, they hadn’t had the time to train after the reform before the challenge came.

Meng Ao and the rest were confident that they could pull through. It was possible to solve the immediate difficulties with the Solar System, the Moon, and Earth cooperating sincerely.

The commander in charge of this battle was Admiral Drachmach from the Moon. His accomplishments in space warfare were the greatest and his cosmic sky flow tactics were also well-known internationally.

The main guns of both sides started to open fire once the fleets entered attack range. The shots shone through the skies. The formation of the Solar System Federation was slightly weaker, but it was home ground after all, so their logistics was more consistent and they were more familiar with the terrain. There was not too much of a problem with morale in the reformed Solar System Federation.

Both sides sized the other up once they exchanged blows. The enemy’s fleet was commanded by Admiral Allen Porter, the most famous hawk in the Maacah Republic. This war had been ignited by his faction. There had been fierce internal conflicts due to the empire’s growing power. Various reasons had led to the outbreak of the war. Allen Porter felt that this was the first step to the rise of his Maacah Republic. A strong country had to have considerable political and resource advantages. It would become a fat sheep for slaughter by other strong countries if not used well. The Solar System had proved this point. Amongst all the countries, the Solar System was the best and the easiest to deal with.

The strength of both countries in space were on par. Ghana Star and Norton Star’s fleets might not be big, but they could form formations of harassment and make things difficult for the Solar System’s fleet.

Drachmach was really strong and made all the right moves for this situation.

Yet, Drachmach felt something wrong somewhere. If they were to continue this way, neither side would benefit. Was their strategy to kill off one another and perish together?

This question appeared when the war was at its fiercest. A fleet lifted its camouflage and attacked the Solar System’s battleship at the sidelines. This Ghana Star’s battleships were problematic, they had shown a totally different kind of combat effectiveness!

They weren’t from the Ghana Star! A national symbol appeared on the battleship, sinking the hearts of everyone in the Solar System!

The Darkness Empire!

It was the ninth battalion of the Darkness Empire, their elite forces. They had quickly landed and occupied the Fairy Star after they defeated them. The other side had agreed to the cooperation request by the Republic of Maacah. This was their foundation of power. Fast and furious military expansion!

The Darkness Empire wasn’t stupid. They would definitely not take on the vanguard task. The coalition forces had determined that the commander of the Solar System would be Drachmach. This admiral from the Moon was indeed intelligent, but it had been too long since he had been in war. How could an academic know about the ruthlessness of war?

The fleet of the Darkness Empire disguised as the fleet of the Ghana Star was dismissive of the Solar System’s fleet. Drachmach thought that the Darkness Empire’s role was to divide their attention and forces. That was why Drachmach hadn’t diverted too many forces to the battlefield. The Republic of Maacah was their main target.

Everything suddenly went haywire when this side attack became the main attacker.

The Darkness Empire was even stronger than the Sirius Star and had vast experience. The Fairy Star had been fighting with the Darkness Empire during peace times, but were swiftly taken out when a full-fledged war began. That was the difference in their strengths.

The ambition of the Darkness Empire was even greater — to replace the Aslan Empire and Arbiter Republic as the ruler of the new era.

A steady stream of resources and armament supplemented the Darkness Empire after they conquered the Fairy Star. There might be internal resistance in the Fairy Star, but the Darkness Empire had adopted a high-pressure policy and suppressed it directly. Their long term animosity determined that they wouldn’t be too civilized.

The Darkness Empire wasn’t after fame, they were building up their power silently. The young elites were outstanding and the situation between the countries in the Milky Way Alliance had given them the chance to rise up for such a country.

Iyerta Laboge was the commander of the ninth battalion and the strategist of this tactic. Long periods of war and their offensive nature made the citizens of the Darkness Empire great at analyzing people. Drachmach was a stable general. In fact, too stable and too academic. Their ambush was hidden very well, which gave rise to the opportunity to defeat the Solar System in one shot.

The tactic of the Darkness Empire created a huge chaos in the systematic formation of the Solar System.

The screen of Commander Drachmach turned red with an alert. Drachmach’s expression became serious. He understood what was going on without the need for intel reports.

His calm expression did not absolve him from feeling the stress in his heart. This was completely different from their predictions. The Solar System had certain advantages on home ground when waiting for the enemy to approach if it was only the Maacah Republic. Who would have thought that the Maacah Republic would ally themselves with the Darkness Empire?

Allen Porter could almost see Drachmach’s face of horror as he looked on the screen announcing the Darkness Empire’s sudden invasion. The pressure on the front line was decreasing. War was like chess, no one would give themselves away to their enemies.
