"The situation is really bad this time, Marshal." On the screen, Seville's expression was solemn. "The people of Nelm even sent out a Star Destroyer. The Ring of Dawn was scattered by the enemy's artillery, and even the Rainbow Bridge was not spared. I doubt if the rest of the Federation will be able to hold on by the time we arrive. "
"If you're worried about the Star Destroyer, that's fine." Capullo's eyes flashed with wisdom. "The Planet Destroyer of the Nelm people is more used for deterrence. They won't use it to fire directly at Earth. For the people of Nelm, a planet with resources to develop is much more valuable than a Death Star. Otherwise, it would be a loss for them to send out so many troops. "
"In that case, we still have a chance."
Capullo nodded and added, "Actually, I'm worried about something else. The relationship between the Federation and the nobles is very bad. If the people of Nelm attack at this time, I'm afraid that the Federation will suffer heavy losses this time if we can't win the support of the nobles. "
"No matter what, we can only do our job now. It's useless to think too much. Everything will be clear when we get back to Earth. "
After ending the communication, Capullo sat down and said in a voice that only he could hear, "The situation is bad, but it's not necessarily bad. Great governance came after great chaos. History had proven this more than once. The invasion of Nelm, the chaos of the Federation, and the disagreement of the nobles are actually a rare reshuffle of power, aren't they? "
A faint smile appeared on the marshal's face. "It depends on who finally touches that trump card."
At this moment, an officer came to his side and whispered, "Marshal, I've received a communication request from Sirius."
Capullo nodded, and the Sirius logo appeared on the big screen. After the sign disappeared, Windsor Bellow's figure appeared on the screen. Looking at the woman on the screen, Capullo asked, "What's the matter?"
"I've decided to set off first."
"It's not wise to split up the fleet. After all, our forces are already too scattered." Capullo said, but he knew that Windsor Bellow would not listen.
Sure enough, Windsor Bellow said decisively, "I can't sit still anymore. It's still a few hours before the entire army sets off. Who knows what the Earth will look like in a few hours, and don't forget that some time will elapse when going through the warp tunnel. In other words, it will take at least two days for us to reach Earth. Many things can happen in two days! "
"You also know that it will take at least two days. So let me ask you, is there any use in speeding up a few hours?"
"Of course it's useful. We have to race against time now, don't we?" Windsor Bellow waved her hand. "I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm just informing you. Do you want to come along? "
Capullo laughed and spread out his hands. "I don't need to prepare anything. In fact, I was planning to leave first. I just needed to inform you. Since you have this idea, let's go back together. "
Windsor Bellow widened her beautiful eyes and chuckled, "I've known you for so long. This is the most refreshing time. Then …"
Suddenly, Mirren appeared on the screen and reported something to Marshal Greed. Capullo's heart tightened when he saw the smile on Windsor Bellow's face gradually disappear. After Mirren left, Windsor Bellow said with a solemn expression, "Damn it, something happened."
"What's wrong?"
"I just received news that a Kidd fleet is approaching the defensive line. Moreover, the fleet is not small. It doesn't look like an ordinary harassment attack." Windsor Bellow crossed her fingers and said, "From the information we have, there is a platinum expert leading this fleet. These fellows came at the right time, as if they had made an early agreement with the people of Nelm. "
The Kidds had a clear hierarchy. As long as they looked at the color of their starships, they would know what level of combat power they had dispatched. In the entire Mechanical Star, there were only two people who could use platinum as their color symbol. One was the ruler of the Kidds, Saffer, and the other was his brother, Babatol. The latter was the commander of the Kidd elite legion, the Sharp Saw. Saffer thought that he should be in charge of the Mechanical Star, so the leader of this fleet should be Babatol.
He was also a difficult person to deal with. On the interstellar defense line, only Capullo and Windsor Bellow could contend against him. The Kidds had sent out a platinum expert, obviously wanting to drag one of their marshals on the defensive line, unable to return to Earth in time to support them.
"What are your chances of winning against a platinum expert?" Capullo raised his head and asked.
Windsor Bellow bit a finger and said, "If it's Saffer, the odds are only 50-50. If it's Babatol, I have absolute confidence in defeating him. But you know, a battle of this level will not be decided in a short period of time … "
Capullo nodded and said, "I've already asked Seville to gather his troops. It will take him a relatively short time. If you don't mind, I'll return to Earth according to my original plan. "
'"That's the only way. Although Mirren's current combat strength is not bad, it's still a bit difficult to deal with a platinum expert. I'll settle the trouble here first and then return with the army. Calculating the time, six or seven hours should be enough to settle it. "
After saying that, Windsor Bellow ended the communication. Capullo looked at the top of the starship and said to the officer beside him, "Contact Earth and ask them to use the Gemini satellite to locate us. We'll return first."
"Yes, Marshal."
At the beginning of the war on Earth, the situation on all sides was changing rapidly. Far away in Agares' Lost Realm, Bai Xicheng was rarely calm.
Ever since Allen took over the city, Allen had taken out all the green crystals he had plundered from the City Lord's Mansion in Picana at the expense of others as the cost of rebuilding the city. For the residents of the city, it didn't matter who the owner of the city was. The important thing was that the City Lord was strong enough, and Allen had almost flattened Bai Xicheng with a single saber strike, and ended the life of the pickup truck with another saber strike. With such a powerful City Lord, even if he didn't take out the green crystals, people would be willing to work for him.
After all, in places like the Lost Realm and the Great Wasteland, being protected by experts meant that one would be able to eat and clothe themselves.
The reconstruction of Bai Xicheng went smoothly. Now, part of the city wall had been basically restored, and some weapons and turrets had been repaired. However, the main energy cannon was no longer usable. Half of the streets and buildings in the city had been repaired, at least daily life was not a problem. Bai Xicheng was very calm, even calm to the point of boredom, at least for Trisley. The injuries on her hands had already healed. Apart from occasionally practicing her two sabers, she spent most of her time holding a wine bottle in the rebuilt City Lord's Mansion. In the days that Allen had left, she was like a drunk cat, looking drunk every day.
This made the workers in and out of the City Lord's Mansion live in fear every day. After all, this woman was too charming, especially when she was half drunk and half awake. Her seductive charm was simply maddening. Not long ago, a worker couldn't help but pounce on Trisley when she passed by with a bottle of wine in her arms. When he opened his mouth to kiss her, a scimitar flew out of nowhere and cut his throat.
The woman, on the other hand, pulled her foot out of the worker's hand with an expressionless face as if she had killed a cat or dog, and staggered away. After that, no one dared to look at Trisley again when she passed by. Beautiful women were indeed pleasing to the eye. However, if he could die for this glance, then no matter how bold a man was, he would still be able to control his eyes.
Today was no exception.
Trisley lay on a couch in the living room, her bulging breasts pressing into a crazy shape on the cushion. The woman's eyes were half closed, her gaze blurred, and her thoughts had long since drifted away. She was holding a wine bottle in one hand. The bottle was already empty, and the contents naturally entered Trisley's stomach. She hiccupped and sighed, "My dear master, why haven't you come back yet? I'm bored to death."
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps in the living room. Someone ran in and panted, "Coming, coming …"
Trisley raised her head and asked snappily, "What's coming?"
