Chapter 569: Chapter 348 Ambush (Five in One)_2

"What do we do now?"

Delus asked with a worried face.

"What else can we do, we have to think of something! TMD, we shouldn’t have abandoned the Federation to build this project for the Dark Star Empire. Originally, I thought the Emperor would pay promptly, but who knew that facing the Emperor could be harder than dealing with a devil! Now we can’t even see the Emperor."

Gotten almost regretted to death, having made a mistake when he had to choose between two projects at the time.

Once a project was done for one side, it couldn’t be constructed for the other.

If he had chosen the Federation at that time, perhaps by now, all payments would have been settled.

"But sir, you were in charge of the project, and if we can’t get the money..."

Delus hesitated to remind him.

When Gotten heard his assistant’s words, the anger he had barely suppressed ignited instantly.

"I know, the problem is that damn Kogis just doesn’t want to pay!"

"Sir, that Kogis is too arrogant, we can’t just let him go on like this."

"Let him be arrogant for a while; I want to see how long he can last. The arrogant ones meet their doom eventually, and someone will take care of him!"

Gotten cursed through gritted teeth.

Just then, a shrill enemy attack alarm suddenly sounded at the Giant Clam Shield Fortress.

Gotten and Delus were both shocked.

"Si, sir, that’s the enemy attack alarm! The Federation is really attacking here."

Delus said in a panic.

Gotten’s expression changed rapidly, but instead of panicking, he grew excited.

"It’s good they’re attacking, I hope they destroy the Heart of Sky Base!"

"What? Sir, we haven’t received our final payment yet. If the Heart of Sky Base is destroyed, where will we go for our money?"

"You don’t understand anything. If the Heart of Sky Base is destroyed, they’ll have to come to us again to rebuild it. Then, we will be the ones who set the terms."

"That makes sense, demanding to pay the remaining payment before rebuilding!"

Delus responded joyfully.

"Let’s hurry up and get out, or we’re going to suffer too."

Gotten quickly led Delus away.

...

Inside a luxurious hall,

Kogis was wrapping his arms around a beauty, smugly sipping fine wine.

"Sir, you are truly formidable, you reduced those people from Shenji Group to silence in just a few words."

Sai Qi flattered.

"Hmph, as if getting the final payment would be so easy, speaking as though we don’t have needs of our own."

Kogis replied with disdain.

As the piercing alarm sound abruptly went off, Kogis pushed the beauty in his arms away and stood up with a scowl.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I’m not sure."

Sai Qi was also taken aback, clueless as to why the alarm had sounded. Ever since the construction of the Heart of Sky Base, there had never been an attack on this place.

At that moment, a holographic image popped up, a white-haired old man wearing a Major General’s uniform, with a face full of wrinkles, solemnly reported.

"Lord Kogis, there’s been an incident. A Federation troop sneaked an attack on our defenses, and is rapidly infiltrating!"

"Fernas, which Federation troop is attacking us?"

Kogis questioned.

"We have matched the data; it’s the same Federation troop that burst through."

Major General Fernas solemnly explained.

"Good, good, good, so bold! I was getting bored anyway. They’re really courting death by coming to my door with a merit badge, thinking I’m just a pushover."

Kogis burst into laughter after hearing Fernas’s words.

The Dark Star Empire was so vast, and the Federation wouldn’t attack anywhere else, but instead chose to attack him, completely disregarding him.

"Lord Kogis, we must not underestimate them."

Fernas cautiously reminded.

"Humph, stop talking nonsense. Immediately move the Giant Clam Fortress. I’ll show them what I can do!"

Kogis issued the order with utter arrogance.

"Yes."

Fernas paused for several seconds before finally responding.

As the order was issued, the Giant Clam Shield Fortress’s propulsion devices activated, and the massive fortress began moving towards the defense line.

...

Frontline defense area.

Three level-5 ships of the Emperor class plunged into the defense line like daggers.

Dark, oppressive Mechas and interstellar fighters swarmed the area, attacking various mechanical facilities and killing defending troops.

In an instant, a massive breach, like a torn spiderweb, appeared in the defense line.

Constant desperate calls for help echoed through the Imperial Army’s public channel.

"This is A6 defense area, we can’t hold on, requesting help!"

"Emergency assistance!"

"The defense line is broken!"

"Hurry up!"

...

Moments later, the stunned Imperial Army quickly reacted, rapidly pulling a large force from the surrounding defense lines to support, trying to block the penetrating fleet.

Countless spinning fortress-like structures rapidly deployed weapons, and a dark mass of gun barrels unleashed furious attacks.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Dense beams of light poured down like rain.

At the same time, the scattered triangular mechanical devices lit up their interior glass orbs, shooting a red beam towards the adjacent triangular devices, which upon impact at the center of a triangle device, refracted towards other triangular devices.

After a series of refractions, gradually intensifying, the entire beam eventually struck like a chain of lightning towards the advancing iron guards.

Boom, boom, boom!

One after another, the charging iron guards were penetrated and exploded!

For a moment, the offensive was hindered.

Inside the Emperor’s Central Control Room.

Colonel Zhou Quan reported to Major General Vickers.

"General, enemy reinforcements are here, and their firepower is extremely fierce."

Vickers, with an expressionless face, issued an order.

"Load the SCX-01 type nuclear torpedo ’Lightbringer.’"

"Do we need to use it so soon?"

"If we don’t show some force, what’s the use!"
