Chapter 548: Chapter 344: Military Tomb (Five-in-One)_6

Meanwhile, in a dim basement of the Dark Star Empire.

Thump Thump!

A rhythmic knocking sounded. freewēbnoveℓ.com

A figure cloaked in black, whose face could not be discerned, approached the door and cautiously opened it.

At that moment, a youth, his face full of freckles and clad in old clothes, entered excitedly and said to the figure in front of him,

"Novlin Sister, good news, the Federation’s expeditionary forces have broken through the Dark Star Empire’s defenses and are now inside. The Star Lords are frantically searching for them everywhere."

Bair said very excitedly.

"Federation troops have broken in?"

Novlin was also momentarily bewildered, as it had been over three hundred years since the last Federation expedition.

"Yes, sister, this is an opportunity that comes once in a millennium; it’s really too hard for us alone to overthrow the Emperor’s rule. If we can get support from the Federation, then we might have a chance!"

Bair, like a drowning man who had spotted a sliver of hope, incessantly spoke to Novlin.

Novlin, however, fell into silence.

"Novlin sister, aren’t you happy to hear this news?"

"Bair, the Federation’s intrusion indeed brings us a glimmer of hope, but it’s not as simple as that."

"Sister, even if there’s just a sliver of hope, we can’t give up."

"First, let’s try to find their whereabouts!"

"Okay!"

...

Falling Sakura Star Sea·St. Jox Star.

Serene sunlight showered down on a dream-like garden.

The garden gate was solemn and elegant, with stone pillars beside it twined with blooming roses, the vibrant flowers embellishing it like gems.

A slate path from the entrance wound its way deeper, lined by green lawns and various precious trees and flowers.

At the garden center was a magnificent fountain, its crystal-clear water bubbling and shimmering under the sunlight like diamonds.

In a corner of the garden stood an elegant pavilion.

The pavilion’s columns were covered with exquisite bas-reliefs, and its roof was topped with colorful glazed tiles.

Inside the pavilion, there was a stone table and four stone stools.

At that moment, an old man wearing a simple gray robe, his hair sparse and graying, with deep eyes and a special black ring on his hand, sat in the principal seat.

This elder was none other than the Mokduo Clan Leader from behind the scenes family of Morris Interstellar Bank.

Sitting opposite Mokduo was an old man dressed in a blue damask robe, wearing a small round cap, his face lined with wrinkles, and a silver beard.

This elder was the Jyenis Clan Leader from behind the scenes family of Heint Interstellar Group.

And sitting sideways was a man dressed in a black suit, with a dark red scarf around his collar, vigorous, with a prominent nose and tightly pursed lips.

This elder was the Defendi Clan Leader from behind the scenes family of Karatasi Mining Interstellar Group.

At that moment, Mokduo Clan Leader picked up the teapot, poured two cups of clear tea, and smilingly handed them to Jyenis Clan Leader and Defendi Clan Leader.

Defendi Clan Leader accepted the tea and smilingly remarked,

"This conflict between the Dark Star Empire and the Federation, ultimately, the Dark Star Empire had a slight upper hand!"

"I think so too. Although the Federation reorganized the Thirteenth Legion and launched a surprise attack on the Siloke Star Sea, achieving a remarkable turnabout, unfortunately, Aus was not moved, and it was all just false joy. I also heard that the Thirteenth Legion has now lost track."

Jyenis Clan Leader took a sip of tea and replied with a smile.

"Regarding the disappearance of the Thirteenth Legion, I heard about that too. I’m starting to suspect that the Thirteenth Legion was encircled and cut off by the Imperial Army, forcing them to take a long detour back."

Defendi Clan Leader pondered and said,

"That’s a possibility, but it’s also possible that they were annihilated by the Dark Star Empire."

Jyenis Clan Leader nodded slightly in agreement.

"That may not necessarily be the case."

Mokduo Clan Leader interjected with a hint of a smirk.

"Oh? Old Mo, have you caught wind of something?"

The two turned their attention to Mokduo Clan Leader in surprise.

Just then, a slightly hurried footprint approached, causing Defendi Clan Leader and Jyenis Clan Leader to instinctively turn their heads.

They saw nearby an elderly man clad in a luxurious white robe, with fluffy hair, a round face full of vigor, holding a newspaper, walking towards them with excitement.

"Turns out you guys are here, did you hear?"

"What did you hear, Timdi?"

Defendi Clan Leader the two curiously looked at Timdi.

"The Federation’s 13th Legion has broken through the Dark Star Empire’s defenses and pushed into the territory of Dark Star Empire; now the entire Dark Star Empire is in complete disarray."

Timdi said excitedly.

"Is that true? It seems unlikely."

Jyenis replied a bit surprised.

"Of course it’s true, don’t believe me, look at the newspaper!"

Timdi passed the newspaper to the two.

The two unfolded the newspaper and closely examined the news.

"Incredible, this newly formed Thirteenth Legion of the Federation, what’s their background, who is their legion commander?"

Defendi Clan Leader exclaimed in surprise.

"I really wouldn’t know, but you can ask old Wofis, his Vox Biointerstellar Group has invested in the Thirteenth Legion, he should know something."

Timdi said with a smile.

"When the opportunity comes, we really need to have a good chat with our old friend Wofis. This commander of the Thirteenth Legion is not simple; he managed to force his way out from a dead-end situation."

Defendi Clan Leader gave sincere praise.

"Exactly, the Federation 13th Legion’s thrust into the heart of the Empire has now made the Dark Star Empire very passive. As long as the local forces of the Empire can’t take down the Thirteenth Legion, Aus definitely won’t withstand domestic pressure and will have to retreat!"

Jyenis stated decisively.

"Once Aus retreats, the Dark Star Empire would truly gain nothing and suffer a severe blow."

Defendi Clan Leader analyzed.

"That means even Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, just watching the struggle will have been busy for nothing."

Timdi added with a laugh.

"But for us, this is also a good thing; we too hope the Federation can stabilize. However, that said, we also don’t want the Federation to become too powerful; there have been subtle signs of recovery in the Federation over the years."

Jyenis mused.

"Indeed!"

Mokduo Clan Leader agreed.

In his view, a three-legged standoff allowed them to live in peace. If one side falls, the balance would be disrupted, and that would spell trouble for them.
