CHAPTER 1018: CHAPTER 418: THE TIDE OF DESTINY (5-IN-1) PART 4

Su Ming saw the information from Long Bai and showed a thoughtful expression.

He speculated that Long Bai would likely compromise and support Mo Xiu and the others.

Even though Mo Xiu and the others don’t follow orders, they can’t just watch them die. The only thing they can do now is win this war, eliminate the troops of the Dark Star Empire; it’s better for the enemy to die than their own people, right?

But it’s just not known how long they will have to wait.

He immediately edited the message in response.

"Understood."

Then Su Ming turned his head and gave orders to Timi.

"Timi, issue orders to all unengaged troops, command them to gather at the Wind Moving. Tell them, by order of the Council, that from now on, I am in charge of coordinating the troops!"

"Understood!"

Timi immediately responded.

"Boss, are we going into full-scale war?"

Rhein and the others asked with excitement and some nervousness.

"Yes, hurry up and prepare the Mechas, we’re about to face a fierce battle."

Su Ming said to Rhein and the others.

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others immediately responded.

---------------------------------------

Blood Ridge Fortress.

The grand and opulent palace hall.

Aus sat on the throne with a fierce gaze, his face gloomy.

Moteri, Legion Commander of the Fifth Black Crow Corps, Aurora, Legion Commander of the Seventh Shadow Legion, Artud, Legion Commander of the Thirteenth Skull Legion, alongside four members of the Royal Knight Order—Maiwuer, Cafrolin, Dixis, and Lorina—sat on either side.

Awabi and other commanders stood at the back, and the atmosphere of the entire hall was very heavy.

"I said at the beginning, after the bait-and-kill plan failed, we should have retreated early. But you insisted on staying here, and now look what happened! We have all suffered heavy losses, and even lost four Neutral Countries."

Moteri said sarcastically.

"Shut up! What do you know?"

Aus said irritably to Moteri.

"Aus, I’ve tolerated you long enough. If it weren’t for your obstinacy, we wouldn’t be in this situation today."

Moteri retorted unkindly, not accommodating Aus.

"I think Moteri is right,"

Artud coldly agreed.

During the journey to the Danube Star Sea, his legion suffered the most losses, and he was also cornered by Aus to the point of losing a Deputy Corps Commander.

"Say that again!"

Aus, like an enraged lion, glared at the two of them.

Seeing the situation was about to get out of control, Aurora flashed a charming smile and mediated.

"Alright, everyone is on the same side, let’s not hurt our unity! No one expected things to evolve to this point."

"Hmph!"

Moteri snorted coldly and didn’t say anything more.

At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked in to report.

"Lord Aus, King Jodica of the Uran Kingdom and King Dadol of the Kudik Kingdom urgently request a meeting."

"Let them in!"

Aus said coldly.

"Yes!"

The Order Officer immediately withdrew respectfully.

Soon after, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious red gown with gold threads, with a bloated body, a face full of fat, and a green thumb ring, and an elderly man wearing brocade robes, with loose skin, a face full of wrinkles, and a crown on his head, walked in anxiously.

Seeing Aus was like seeing a savior, they immediately stepped forward to plead for help!

"Lord Aus, save us! The Federation has gathered its forces and is attacking us!"

"How is that possible? Weren’t there orders before that the Federation had commanded the United Army to rest and not attack?"

Aurora asked, very puzzled.

"Lord Aurora, you might not know, the Federation did issue a rest order. But the people of Sky Dome City didn’t listen! It’s the Sky Dome City’s troops that are coming to attack this time."

Jodica replied anxiously.

"Fools! How dare they come alone."

Aus said in fury.

"Aus, you need to realize one thing. How many other corps are there? The main force we’ve been fighting against has always been the troops from Sky Dome City!"

Moteri said with a cold snort.

"Are you scared?"

Aus turned to look at Moteri and asked coldly.

"I’m not scared, just being realistic. Do you think we can defeat them with our current forces?"

Moteri replied bluntly.

"I think Moteri is right, with our current forces, we do not have an advantage against Sky Dome City."

Aurora agreed.

King Jodica and King Dadol both turned pale upon hearing this, their bodies trembling incessantly, yet not daring to interject.

At this moment, Aus revealed a sinister smile and said.

"What are we afraid of? I’ve already requested reinforcements from the Empire; they’re on their way. As long as we can hold the Sky Dome City’s troops at bay, they’ll be wiped out without a burial place!"

"If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to say, we fight them!"

Hearing this, a fierce expression crossed the faces of Moteri and the others as they spoke.

"Prepare all troops for battle!"

Aus immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded one after another.

...

Three days later.

Starry Sky on the border of the Kudik Neutral Country.

The battered Blood Ridge Fortress, along with the Star Destroyer·Shadow, Star Destroyer·Dark Blood, and Star Destroyer·Black Crow, led the fleet and Mechas to regroup.

Compared to the grand display before, this time it seemed much thinner.

However, the Imperial Army deployed all defensive weapons like Vortex Fortresses.

This time they were prepared for a defensive war.

Inside the central control of Blood Ridge Fortress.

Aus sat in the command chair, his eyes fierce, like a beast ready to pounce at any moment.

The surrounding Imperial officers were all silent and apprehensive.
