Chapter 487: Chapter 334: Siloke Star Sea Campaign 4 (Five-in-One)_6

Soldier after soldier clad in individual armor lifted their beam guns, aiming at Tedra and her companions.

At that moment, all the concealed weapons systems in the central control room were also activated, their pitch-black muzzles all pointed at Tedra and her companions.

Tedra saw this scene and completely despaired.

Then, numerous soldiers rushed up and forcefully took down Tedra and the others.

Afterward, Artificial Intelligence·Celeste spoke up.

"All weapons systems of Hamms Fortress have been shut down. The isolation device is activated, locking all hostile personnel within the fortress."

"Good, the battle here comes to an end, and what remains is the cleanup. How is the situation at the Transfer Star Battlefield?"

The purple-haired girl asked indifferently.

"The latest feedback information indicates that the battle at Transfer Star has ended. Vickers Major General and his forces have achieved victory."

Celeste promptly provided the answer.

Upon hearing Celeste’s words, the purple-haired girl’s eyes showed a hint of surprise; she had not expected Vickers and his team to emerge victorious.

"How is that possible? Didn’t the enemy receive a large number of reinforcements? Vickers and his team actually won? Do the new troops have such strong combat capabilities, or is the enemy really that weak?"

Admiral Ferion expressed his shock.

According to the original plan, Vickers and his team were only supposed to hold the enemy at bay until they captured Hamms Planet Fortress, at which point they would rush to provide support.

But they had won? This was entirely beyond his expectations.

"I am not sure about the details; if you wish to know the specifics, you need to inquire with Vickers Major General and his team."

Celeste replied with a smile.

The purple-haired girl then spoke up.

"Send a congratulatory message to Vickers and his team, ordering them to immediately clear out the remaining enemies, swiftly clean up the battlefield, and collect all materials!"

"What about the prisoners?"

Admiral Ferion inquired.

"All prisoners from the Imperial Army are to be sent to Starshine Fortress. As for prisoners from the Neutral Country, we only retain the officers; the others are of no value and will only encumber us."

The purple-haired girl issued the command without expression.

"Understood!"

Admiral Ferion promptly responded.

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

Blood Ridge Fortress.

Within the majestic and luxurious grand hall.

Legion Commander Aus sat on his throne, holding a glass of rich red wine in his right hand while his left played with a miniature Star Map of the Danube Star Sea, his face alight with fervor.

This Danube Star Sea would soon become his domain, and he would be its ruler.

Thinking this, Aus said in excellent spirits,

"Let us raise a toast!"

"Since Legion Commander Aus has spoken, I shall lead with a drink!"

Aurora raised her glass with a grin and downed her drink in one go.

"Good, that’s the spirit!"

Aus laughed heartily.

However, just then, the doors were pushed open again, and the music abruptly ceased.

Whoosh!

All eyes, including Aurora’s, converged on the wide-open door, only to see the Order Officer rushing in.

Seeing this, Aus’s face showed a trace of anger. However, he refrained from exploding with rage and instead looked toward the entering Order Officer.

The Order Officer reported nervously,

"Lord Aus, we’ve just received an urgent battle report from General Oraolis. The Siloke Star Sea has fallen!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall erupted into commotion.

"Say that again!"

Moteri Corps Commander shouted in shock and anger as he smashed his wine glass onto the ground!

Crack!

The glass shattered into pieces.

"The Siloke Star Sea has completely fallen," the Federation has captured the Hamms Planet Fortress and the Transfer Star, the defensive Black Crow Army, the Water Snake Army, and the rushed Grey Gun Army have all been defeated. The enemy’s strength is too powerful."

The Order Officer reported with a tremble.

Upon hearing this, the Moteri Corps Commander looked furiously at Aus and said,

"Aus, it’s all because you wouldn’t let me go back to support them. Now look what happened—the Hamms Planet has fallen, and all my troops left behind are gone."

An entire third of the regiment’s troops were wiped out; the entire Black Crow Army was essentially missing an arm and a leg.

"Calm down, Moteri! Lord Aus didn’t want to see this happen either. Who could have expected the Federation’s newly-formed Thirteenth Legion to have such combat capability?"

Aurora hurriedly tried to mediate.

"Just one ’unexpected’ and that’s it? Look what’s happened now, our supply lines have been cut!"

"Don’t panic, we are discussing a solution."

"What’s there to discuss? I’m taking my troops to take it back right now!"

Moteri Corps Commander retorted angrily.

As the Moteri Corps Commander was about to leave, Aus smashed his wine glass onto the floor.

Crash!

The crisp sound echoed, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Moteri Corps Commander also froze, he turned his head with a grim face and asked Aus,

"Aus, what do you mean?"

"Don’t go!"

Aus warned coldly.

"Have you gone mad? That’s our supply line."

"I said don’t go, and you won’t. Don’t the Federation attack the Siloke Star Sea just to force us to return to aid? If you go back now, won’t that fall right into their strategy? Would not everything we did before become a joke, and we end up losing everything?"

"You think I want to return to aid? The problem is, with the Siloke Star Sea gone, our supply line is cut off. How are so many legions supposed to survive here without supply lines?"

Moteri bit back furiously.

"Hmph, who told you we can’t live without supply lines? Aren’t there so many Neutral Countries in the Danube Star Sea that they could be our supply?"

Aus said with a ferocious look.

"You mean, using Neutral Countries as our supply?"

Aurora’s eyes brightened as she responded.

"That’s right, we’ll just hold out here, see who can outlast whom."

"What if the enemy attacks from both sides?"

"I’m waiting for them to attack. With so many troops here, as long as they dare to attack us, it will be their death!"

Aus displayed a fierce expression.

In fact, the fall of the Siloke Star Sea had infuriated Aus as well.

It nearly ruined the grand strategy he had painstakingly laid out, and the fall of the Siloke Star Sea would also lead to astronomical losses for the Empire.

Not to mention that a large portion of the goods looted from the various Neutral Countries in the Danube Star Sea had to be transferred through the Hamms Planet Fortress.

Moreover, there was a large amount of supplies stored inside the Hamms Planet Fortress.

Now that it had been scooped up in one go by the Federation, the loss was astronomical.

However, even with such severe losses, Aus could now only swallow his teeth in silence; he absolutely could not dispatch troops to return to aid, otherwise everything would really be ruined.

After all, to entrap the Federation forces, they had paid an extremely high price, even the Blood Ridge Fortress suffered not a slight damage.

"Really a good idea."

Aurora replied with a smile.

"So we just sit here and wait?"

Moteri still replied somewhat reluctantly, after all, it was his legion that had died, and the Hamms Planet Fortress that had been lost was his.

"Moteri, if because of your foolish actions, the Emperor’s plan fails, you know how serious the consequences will be, don’t you?"

Aus bluntly brought up the Emperor as a cold warning.

Upon hearing Aus’s words, Moteri’s face changed drastically, and he said through clenched teeth,

"Fine! Fine! I will do as you say. It’s best if things turn out as you describe. Otherwise, don’t blame me for telling the Emperor about you afterward!"

"Hmph, suit yourself!"

Aus just didn’t care.
