Chapter 310: 305

...

Anfas Empire Main Star·Strategic Command Headquarters Control Room.

King Fakier, King Billco, and Tangarlu Council President Geangga stood with hands clasped behind their backs, watching the fleet moving continuously on the gigantic virtual screen.

A young man dressed in the Imperial Army uniform, upright and quite young, respectfully reported the latest situation.

"The main fleet has entered the designated defense area and deployed the defense formation."

"Decoy space mines have been extensively laid out."

"Fourth Generation Mecha·Assassin is in position!"

"The forces from Abayk Kingdom are on their way, estimated to arrive at the designated area in 3 hours and 21 minutes."

"The Kviten Double Lion Corps has arrived."

...

At this moment, King Billco spoke with a smile.

"This time I’ve brought over all my ace legions, ready for a last stand."

"Excellent, our forces are about to be fully in place, and the trap is ready. The moment we lure the Imperial Army in for a frontal attack, we can surround them completely. This will be their graveyard," said King Fakier with commanding authority.

"I’m a bit worried. Will the Imperial Army really enter our trap and engage with our large force?" said Tangarlu Council President Geangga, his voice laced with concern.

"Rest assured, they definitely will! The Imperial Army has always been arrogant and look down upon us. They will face us head-on, even if they know we have laid a trap here," King Fakier declared with a cold snort.

"Sounds reasonable."

After hearing King Fakier’s words, Tangarlu Council President Geangga dispelled his concerns, convinced that the Imperial Army would indeed do such a thing.

However, King Billco let out a sigh and asked,

"King Fakier, there’s something I’m really worried about. It’s true that we have assembled ten times their forces, but I still fear that even if the Imperial Army troops enter the trap, our forces might not be able to swallow them whole. What then?"

"Exactly, better to be safe than sorry,"

said Tangarlu Council President Geangga, his heart caught in his throat once more.

A fervent light shone in King Fakier’s eyes as he said to the two men,

"Don’t worry, I have long been prepared, and the Imperial Army won’t return from where they came. Follow me!"

"Let’s go!"

Curious, the two men followed King Fakier out of the central room.

They were very curious about what kind of trump card King Fakier had up his sleeve to make him so confident.

King Fakier did not explain but led them to a heavily guarded elevator hall.

Two Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knights saluted them, and then the pilots of the mechas cleared a pathway.

King Fakier led them to the center of the elevator platform.

Click!

With a muffled sound, the vast elevator platform began to descend slowly, picking up speed as it went down.

But as Billco and the others waited, the platform was still far from reaching the bottom, prompting looks of surprise and puzzled queries,

"Where are we going? Why is it so deep?"

"You’ll know in a moment,"

King Fakier replied without elaborating.

Billco and the other could only wait patiently, but after a few minutes, the elevator began to slow down its descent.

Click!

With another muffled sound, the elevator reached the bottom.

Their entire field of vision suddenly opened up, and Billco and the other saw a massive, special mechanical device embedded with dense Energy Crystals, its drill-like structure burrowing into the ground.

"What is this?"

Billco and the other stammered, not understanding what it was, but instinctively sensing extreme danger.

"This is called a Star Diamond, designed to detonate planets. I won’t hide it from you; I’ve already installed many of these devices at critical points throughout the entire planet,"

King Fakier said excitedly.

"What are you planning? You’re not about to detonate your own Main Star, are you?"

Billco and the other were stunned.

"That’s right. I’m well aware that the United Army may not be a match for the Imperial Army. Thus, I’ve prepared this. My plan is simple: when the United Army is defeated, the Imperial Army will directly attack my Main Star. At that point, my forces will fight to the bitter end. As soon as they defeat my forces and land on the Main Star, it will be their doomsday! No matter how powerful they are, they can’t withstand a planet explosion. They will all be buried with it!" King Fakier declared fiercely.

"What about your citizens?"

Billco and the other asked in shock.

"Don’t worry, those who needed to be moved have been relocated to another planet behind us. Everything is ready,"

King Fakier replied gravely.

Billco and the other took a deep breath and finally gave a bow to King Fakier.

"King Fakier, your great sacrifices to resist the Imperial Army, even at the cost of your Main Star. If we win this battle and overcome this crisis, we will henceforth look up to you as our leader."

"With your words, that’s enough for me!"

King Fakier replied with satisfaction.

...

Early Sunday morning.

After a morning jog, Su Ming was breathing slightly as he walked toward his dormitory.

When he reached the door of the dorm, he encountered a man with slightly disheveled hair, a small mustache, and wearing a black hoodie.

"Sun Lu, where are you off to?" Su Ming greeted his roommate.

"There are no classes today, and Hamiu and I are planning to go to the training ground for some practice," Sun Lu explained to Su Ming.

"Want to join us, squad leader?"

At that moment, a robust and honest-looking man emerged.

"No need, you two go ahead," Su Ming said with a smile. The training ground wasn’t of much use to him.

"Okay, we’ll head out then,"

Sun Lu and Hamiu left together.

Su Ming entered the dorm, which was empty as everyone was busy with their own activities.

He went to his wardrobe, took out a set of clothes, and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Soon after, Su Ming emerged from the bathroom changed.

He walked to his bed, picked up his wallet from the bedside, and inadvertently saw the Xi Guang Experimental Pass beneath it.

He picked up the pass, pondered for a few seconds, then stuffed the card back into his wallet, turning to leave the dorm.
