CHAPTER 1172: CHAPTER 169: FOR THE COMPLETE UNIFICATION OF THE FEDERATION

Sharp-Snout Shark Star Domain, Main Stellar System, ’Mu-β’ Inhabited Planet.

Trains shuttled back and forth across the planet, and starships laden with residents slowly rose, then began to accelerate with all their might, breaking free from the gravitational pull, entering the atmosphere. The starships trembled, the fiery airflow covered the hull, giving the passengers inside a view tinted with a subtle red glow.

In the spaceship’s hall, some were silent, some wept softly, and some quarreled, but regardless, under the arrangements of the new national organization, the residents of this planet were gradually relocating to more internal planets in the west.

"Is there a place to live there?" a child clutched his large toy, grasping his mother’s skirt with one hand, whispering.

"There will be, Princess Blanchi promised us she’ll arrange for a stable place to live." The mother crouched down, whispering to comfort him. The father wordlessly patted the child’s head, then looked up at the ceiling of the spaceship, where the current star map location and time were displayed.

At the periphery of the Stellar System, space rippled with water-like waves, and then massive space battleships emerged. Their pitch-black hulls and the majesty of the Axis Main Cannons seemed like an apocalyptic proclamation, slowly gliding through the frigid space.

After 62 days of superluminal travel, the Federation’s main fleet finally arrived at the fortress of the Western Star Domain, Sharp-Snout Shark Star Domain.

A shrill alarm sounded at the star harbor outside the inhabited planet. The ships that were still loading began closing their passages, then disembarked from the star harbor, accelerating continuously into the vast Star Sea.

Seven hours later, the vanguard of the Fifth Fleet sealed off the entire star domain, taking control of its main star harbor and began reopening the star domain’s hyperspace corridors.

Three hours later, various divisions of the Fifth Fleet arrived one by one through the Aijeika Corridor.

The sky was filled with starships like a sea of smoke, filling the space outside the star domain’s capital. Tens of thousands of starships lined up in the star domain, the grand fleet formation stretching beyond sight.

Facing such an overwhelming power gap, the remnants of the Sharp-Snout Shark Star Domain had no choice but to surrender, which they had anticipated long before, hence the efforts over these two months to transfer personnel and resources.

"Next are the ’Black Eucalyptus Star Domain’, ’Zedan Star Domain’, and ’Xiakka Star Domain’, the three closest Western Star Domains." On the Titan Class flagship of the Fifth Fleet, strategists outlined the subsequent routes for the advance.

"Let’s divide into three routes. We don’t have time to dawdle; the Federation needs to stabilize quickly. It’s better to be fast than slow in quelling the rebellion."

"Yes, General."

Subsequently, the Fifth Fleet split into three divisions, each heading towards their respective target star domains.

Meanwhile, in each of the western star domains and inhabited planets.

The screens on the streets no longer played those everyday commercial advertisements but were uniformly switched to the new laws of the ’Rose Court’, grand objectives, Blanchi’s speeches, her devotional songs, and news, interviews, articles to inspire the residents of the western star domains, and more.

Under the powerful national machine’s promotion, the entire Western Star Domain’s tens of millions of news media, radio stations, internet platforms were all uniformly adapted and controlled.

In the city’s Central Square, large theaters, and giant stadiums, high platforms stood, with the background of large portraits. In the portraits, a young girl was praying with closed eyes, a golden halo seemingly at her brows. Below the portraits, White Robed Songstresses wore the ’Decamanga Sun’ masks, with exposed lips and jaws softly singing.

They are the songstresses’ harmonious resonators, Blanchi’s extended spiritual will, her ’eyes’ and ’hands’, the lead singers of countless residents of the Western Star Domain.

"Now, let us rise together, and sing that song of blessing, sing that song of glory, to the great Decamanga Sun, the descended Angel, the immaculate Savior Star, Princess Blanchi..."

The sacred ethereal singing echoed in the square, theater, and stadium, faint white halos glowing from the leading Songstresses, then spreading throughout the crowd until everyone began to glow with the same light.

At this moment, they shared a unified wish.

At this moment, they collaborated in unison.

At this moment, they were of one mind.

The reverberating song transformed into pure belief, echoing across the Star River, and this wish would ultimately nurture a brand-new miracle.

Eleven days later, the ’Black Eucalyptus Star Domain’, ’Zedan Star Domain’, and ’Xiakka Star Domain’ were successively occupied by the Fifth Fleet. After reopening the corridors, the fleet proceeded further towards the Western Star Domain.

Twenty-five days later, the ’Gas Valley Rock Star Domain’, ’Bay Valley Star Region’, ’Copper Thorn Star Field’, ’Salt Lake Star Domain’, and ’Muke Star Domain’ were also taken by the Fifth Fleet.

Along the way, the Fifth Fleet encountered almost no resistance, drawing ever closer to the Hemu Star Domain.

On the thirty-third day, the mass of the Fifth Fleet’s starships appeared at the periphery of the Hemu Star Domain, and there, they finally saw the most grandiose fleet cluster in the entire west.

The number of starships was no less than the Fifth Fleet, densely filling the Stellar System, forming a grand array in space, about a hundred thousand starships densely packed, forming a radar-concealed majestic curtain blocking the Sun.

"Finally met you." In response, the commanders of the Fifth Fleet breathed a sigh of relief.

They did not fear the opposing fleet gathered together, rather they feared them playing hide and seek, guerrilla tactics everywhere, even detouring to the depths of the Universe.

Even though the numbers were equal, as the Federation’s main force, the Fifth Fleet’s starship quality and personnel combat power were a rank above the entire Western Star Domain, estimating it would take three times the Western Star Domain’s fleet to statistically equalize the strength disparity.

In silent silence, the Fifth Fleet slowly arranged its formation, each starship’s tail flames were intensely blue. Facing that huge fleet array blocking the sun, these azure trails moved forward step by step, like tiny fireflies flickering under the sun’s radiance. Yet when these azure fireflies counted into hundreds, thousands, millions, and released billions of space fighters, the entire Star River seemed to boil, filled with this azure trail.

Black steel, blue-plated wings, straight lines, as the engines accelerated continuously, the ’blue threads’ these fighters transformed into obscured the sun’s radiance, and flew towards it.

Dazzling flashes burst from the fleet array that blocked the sun, majestic jets brighter than the sun devoured those approaching ’moths’. Thousands of explosions bloomed in the Star River, fragments of steel, molten ruins flying, in just this instant, tens of millions of lives dissipated into the Star Sea.

Since humanity developed firearms, killing had become increasingly swift and cruel.

[For the Federation’s complete unification]

[For the nation’s Justice]

[For the future of human civilization]

[Fifth Fleet, advance!]

Facing the loss of high-speed fighters, the Fifth Fleet mourned not a bit, the starships continued to accelerate forward, and at the same time, the majestic Axis Main Cannons lit up one after another. Similarly dazzling beams shot out, crossing the vast Star Sea, piercing through those space starships amid flames.

Flames burned, in the exploding space starships countless crew screamed and fled, but were soon engulfed again in blazing streams, dissipating into nothingness, leaving not a trace.
