Chapter 498: Chapter 336: Massive Bleeding (Five in One)_5

"Hodiska, you should drink some Blood Wine to neutralize."

Hodiska picked up the Blood Wine and downed it in one gulp, arrogantly saying,

"Cersi, has the situation in the Siloke Star Sea been clarified?"

"It has been clarified, the Siloke Star Sea has indeed fallen."

Cersi respectfully replied.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings! With so many troops stationed, they still lost it!"

Hodiska cursed displeasedly.

At that moment, an Order Officer walked in, respectfully reporting,

"Legion Commander Hodiska, Tedra has escaped back and now requests to see you."

Hodiska, upon hearing his subordinate’s report, showed a ferocious expression and coldly said,

"Let him in!"

Before long, Tedra, along with a few subordinates, walked in dejectedly.

Before Tedra could speak, Hodiska, sitting on the throne, said in an unfriendly tone,

"Tedra, you lost the entire Siloke Star Sea and cut off the Empire’s supply line. How dare you come back?"

Tedra looked up at Hodiska and gritted his teeth as he replied,

"Yes, I lost, I lost the entire Siloke Star Sea. But I did not cower. The moment I was defeated, I initiated the self-destruct sequence at the Hamms Planet Fortress, planning to perish with the Federation troops in loyalty to the Emperor!"

"Hmph, and yet you’re still alive?"

"That’s because the Federation’s technology is too strong. They directly invaded the Hamms Planet Fortress and interrupted the self-destruct sequence. You can ask my subordinates if you don’t believe me!"

"Fine, if that’s the case, then I will indeed think better of you."

After listening to Tedra’s words, Hodiska’s expression softened somewhat.

Then Tedra said to Hodiska,

"Hodiska, let me tell you the truth. Though the Federation let me go after defeat, I can’t live in disgrace anymore. However, I can’t die yet, I’m just too infuriated."

"Oh? Infuriated by what?"

"The Federation’s commander is far too arrogant; she asked me to convey a message to the Emperor."

"What message?"

"She said she wants to break through our defenses, invade the Empire, repeat history, and bring nightmares to the Emperor!"

"Audacious!"

Hearing Tedra’s words, Hodiska abruptly stood from the throne, angrily smashing his wine cup to the ground.

Snap~

The entire wine cup shattered into pieces.

"A soldier can die but not be insulted, how dare she insult the Emperor? Could I tolerate this?"

Taking the opportunity, Tedra said,

"Good, very good, enough arrogance, watch how I obliterate them."

Hodiska suddenly revealed a brutal smile.

"My lord, this might not be wise."

Cersi asked with some concern.

"How is it not wise? Not to mention their audacious disdain for the Emperor! Even without that, how can I tolerate them jumping around before me?"

"My lord, you’re right!"

"Cersi, immediately dispatch scouts to investigate the enemy’s situation in the Siloke Star Sea."

Hodiska coldly issued the order.

"Yes!"

Cersi immediately turned and left.

At this point, Tedra quickly said to Hodiska,

"The force that attacked me was the newly established Thirteenth Legion of the Federation, but their combat strength is excellent, especially that Starshine Fortress, which is very troublesome."

"Did Legion Commanders Merit and Aus not come to your aid when you were in trouble?"

Hodiska coldly asked.

"No, if they had come to my aid, I wouldn’t have lost so miserably. Only the Greygun Legion and a few small Empire troops actually arrived."

Tedra explained to Hodiska.

"It seems they’re not planning to send troops."

"What are you going to do then?"

"I have my ways. Activate the long-distance communication device, connect to Uranus Neutral Country, Kudik Neutral Country, Fabidon Neutral Country..."

Hodiska coldly began.

Instantly, six holographic image frames appeared in front of him.

All these frames displayed a prompt,

"Connecting..."

Minutes later, six pitch-black holographic image frames revealed six figures.

These six figures were the leaders of the six Neutral Countries allied with the Dark Star Empire.

The moment they saw Hodiska, they rushed to speak as if grasping for a lifeline,

"Lord Hodiska, you must stand up for us!"

"The Siloke Star Sea has been occupied by the Federation."

"The Transfer Star is lost; our goods have been stolen."

...

These six leaders were all extremely anxious; although the Transfer Star belonged to Uranus Neutral Country, all six countries had stored materials on the Transfer Star.

Now that the Transfer Star was taken, they suffered heavy losses.

Of course, after the incident, they tried to seek help from Legion Commander Aus immediately, but Aus completely ignored it, and he didn’t let any other Legion Commanders interfere.

Thus, they were like headless flies, bumping into walls everywhere, unable to find anyone to help.

Finally, Commander of the Bergslun Defense Line, Lord Hodiska, took the initiative to contact them, so they naturally rushed to complain and request help.

Hodiska looked at the six anxious people, eyes revealing a hint of disdain, but still, he spoke,

"My Fourth Legion, Tenth Legion, Eleventh Legion are responsible for guarding the Bergslun Defense Line—how could I spare troops for you? Shouldn’t you go to Aus?"

"Aiya, we went to Lord Aus, but Lord Aus won’t help us."

"My lord, please, please help us."

...

Many leaders pleaded urgently.

"Are you sure you want my help?"

Hodiska asked with a cold laugh.

"Of course."

The six leaders hastily replied. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Alright, I can spare one force, but you six must assemble a large army and join me in besieging the Federation!"
