Chapter 283 Federal Government Administrative Building

Inside the Special Operations Command Center of the Federal Government Administrative Building.

Council Speaker Arlais looked at Jiang Hanqiu's latest battle report. His slightly relaxed nerves tightened again, giving him a headache.

Everyone in the Special Operations Command Center looked at each other, their faces filled with worry.

Vice Council Speaker Iselin asked anxiously, "Council Speaker Arlais, what should we do next?"

"Let me think. I don't have any good solutions for the time being. Are there any special movements from other empires and allied countries?"

Arlais's mind raced. He looked up and said,

"Currently, all countries are not making any major moves, and are basically deploying defenses."

"Which of our troops is closest to the enemy area, and how long will it take to travel there?"

"The closest to the target area is the joint garrison of the first checkpoint. There is a Tier 5 battleship, the Varian, and more than a hundred other ships. However, it will take them sixteen hours to reach the designated target. By the time they arrive, it will probably be too late. Moreover, the combat power of the checkpoint garrison is unlikely to pose a sufficient threat to the enemy."

Iselin shook her head and replied, not believing that sending the garrison there would be of any use.

"I see."

Arlais fell silent again.

"How about letting the Star Destroyer, Phantom Flower, carry a large number of top-tier combat forces and rush over at superluminal speed to solve the problem?"

A general stood up and proposed fiercely.

"Without a Star Destroyer, do you think our remaining defensive ships can withstand the enemy's attack? If the enemy's attack gets through the defensive ships and bombards Earth, even if the power is weakened and not enough to destroy the planet, it will still be a devastating impact. Do you think we can afford this risk?"

Arlais rejected the suggestion without hesitation. He really couldn't afford to take the risk.

Everyone present fell silent, at a loss.

Ceres.

Bikaru Canyon.

A giant base spanning five hundred kilometers, shaped like a clam shell, and bearing the flag of the City of Star Rings, stood in it.

At this time, a continuous, ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire area.

The boundless cloud layer suddenly broke open into holes, and spherical, humanoid single-unit war weapons pierced through the thick clouds, rushing down like a rainstorm.

*Crack*~

Centered on the base, the canyon cliffs and open ground were torn apart.

Tens of millions of launch ports unfolded.

Countless beams of light extended from the base's gun ports.

Missiles rose into the sky along with the beams of light.

*Rumble*~

Countless brilliant fireworks exploded in the entire sky!

Just then, beams of dazzling light descended from the sky!

The clam-shaped giant base instantly deployed a huge blue energy barrier~

*Boom*~

The terrifying impact swept across, destroying the entire canyon.

When the explosion ended, the clam-shaped base still stood.

However, the attack did not stop there. Fortresses shaped like small dandelions, glowing all over, pierced through the clouds and descended on the earth in a dark mass.

...

City of Star Rings Center, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside an incredibly dim circular hall.

Icaroya walked barefoot to the center of the hall, her face as cold as ice.

She slowly raised her head, her cold eyes flickering.

In the entire dim hall, countless stars floated up, giving the impression of being in a vast universe.

If you looked closely, you would be surprised to find that the entire starry sky was a miniature version of the Negative Universe.

Icaroya stared at the twinkling stars, raising her hand and waving it continuously, using the entire universe as a board and the stars as pieces, controlling everything.

In the vast starry sky, the stars shifted, and the constellations shone brightly.

Just as Icaroya was concentrating on gazing at the stars, her brow furrowed even more tightly. At this moment, there was a knock on the tightly closed door of the hall.

Icaroya snorted coldly and waved her hand!

The countless stars turned into starlight and dissipated!

At the same time, lamps of illuminated crystal lit up, and the magnificent hall was completely revealed.

Icaroya walked straight to the throne in the hall and sat down.

The tightly closed door opened, and a Faceless One wearing a blank mask and a V-generation colony armor walked in, knelt on one knee to Icaroya, and said,

"City Lord Icaroya, urgent intelligence. The City of Star Rings' secret Giant Clam Base, Dauntless Base, Thunder Base, and seven other strategic strongholds on Ceres are under heavy attack by the Everlasting Sleep Clan. The situation is critical. They are requesting support from the City of Star Rings."

"A bunch of clowns, never learning their lesson. Go, I know."

Icaroya's eyes grew colder after hearing this.

"Yes!"

The Faceless One lowered his head respectfully and retreated.

On the Shadow.

Su Mo was browsing the forum, checking for the latest news, while communicating with the Pseudo-Creator Devourer.

"Is there really no other way to arrive before their next attack?"

"There are plenty of ways, but you can't do it."

The Pseudo-Creator Devourer replied indifferently.

Su Mo was about to vomit blood. He said eagerly to the Pseudo-Creator Devourer, "What time is it? Stop speaking in riddles. Quickly think of a way, or Earth is really going to be finished."

"I only care if you live or die. As for whether Earth is destroyed or not, it has nothing to do with me."

The Pseudo-Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

Su Mo fell silent after hearing this. He didn't continue to ask. The Pseudo-Creator Devourer's answer was already very subtle.

With their current conditions, there was no solution.

Su Mo silently refreshed the forum, checking if other countries had any special progress or methods.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any information about large-scale actions by other countries.

On the entire forum, the current posts were either pessimistic and despairing or extremely angry.

Among them, many people had lost their minds and were angrily accusing Heath, the eldest prince of the High Motos Empire.

"He's a liar. Don't be deceived by him. When can you trust what the Empire Army says?"

"Don't be fooled, everyone. This is a delaying tactic. Everyone think carefully. Since the attack started, why only the allied countries are being attacked and the Empire Army is not having any problems? Don't tell me it's a coincidence!"

"That makes sense. Down with the Empire Army!"

...

Su Mo silently browsed the forum posts. Just then, he came across a real-time updated post and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the videos and photos.

A burning ruined city came into view, with charred buildings everywhere.

The ground was covered with carbonized corpses. Looking closely, he could see a mother holding a child tightly, the two corpses directly fused together.

In some collapsed defense facilities, people lay half-dead, wailing in pain, their injuries horrific.
