The Seventh Base - Chapter 1366: 125: Aspirations
Chapter 1366: Chapter 125: Aspirations
Kales Empire Capital Star, Dark Hall.
A figure sat on the throne, holding a sharp sword, somewhat resembling the former Kales Empire Emperor, Sain.
In the Dark Hall, a figure clad in armor walked towards this direction, the metallic sound echoing in the hall. The person was the Crown Prince of Kales Empire, Selle Kales.
Only to see Selle bow to the figure on the throne, paying respects to the one who was not his father, his eyes filled with devotion, seemingly absolutely loyal to the other party.
“Master, we just received news from the fleet. Skull Star has been captured, and a full takeover is underway,” Selle said. Just not long ago, he established contact with the Kales, and Imperial Marshal Roson Chris brought good news. The Kales Empire army had already captured Skull Star.
“Captured?” The figure sitting on the throne was Lin Qinghe. After they arrived at the Kales Empire Capital Star, the Kales Empire Fleet happened to leave, so they stayed on this planet.
Afterwards, they found an opportunity to control the Crown Prince of Kales Empire, Selle, and things became much simpler. Selle was made to gather the important figures of Kales Empire, and they were all brought under control. Now the upper echelon is entirely in Lin Qinghe’s hands.
After controlling Selle and others, Lin Qinghe received unexpected news that the Odin Family was backed by Skull Star. Skull Star had always been there. Originally, Gaia had deceived the major forces with tricks, making them believe Skull Star had been destroyed.
But at this moment, he received very good news. The Kales Empire had taken Skull Star.
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Lin Qinghe.
In this way, as long as Sain Kales is also taken, then the Kales Empire and Skull Star will belong to them.
“Hmm.” Selle nodded.
“Details? Did you capture Xu Mo and the others?” Lin Qinghe stared at Selle and asked. This was very important to him. Even before Selle could answer, he said, “I’ll see for myself.”
As he spoke, strong spiritual power directly invaded Selle’s mind, and in an instant, he gained insight into the memories within the other’s mind.
“Don’t know?” Lin Qinghe frowned. The Kales warship and the Kales Empire connected here, and Imperial Marshal Roson Kales announced the news, saying they needed to take over Skull Star next and would return after the takeover was complete.
This is very normal. The Emperor and Marshal of the Kales Empire personally led the expedition and had no need to explain too much on this side.
Lin Qinghe suddenly thought of something, frowning deeply.
Sain Kales’ Combat Power is also at the top level, likely comparable to Osman. However, he is not afraid of this kind of strength; he can kill, just as he killed Osman.
However, if Sain captures Xu Mo and obtains the Origin Helmet and Book of Enlightenment, what then?
But soon Lin Qinghe set aside his worries. One possibility is that Xu Mo escaped, and with the Origin Helmet, he wouldn’t be that easy to capture. The second possibility is that even if captured, Sain might not be able to use the Origin Helmet, so no need to worry.
As for the possibility of Skull Star defeating the Kales Empire, he didn’t think about it. Although he viewed Kales Empire as one of the weaker forces currently, it still far surpassed Skull Star. This time, the Kales Empire’s Fleet nearly fully deployed, so how could they possibly be defeated by Skull Star?
Moreover, the news of victory had already been relayed back. To say they were defeated would require Sain Kales to be dead.
Therefore, what Lin Qinghe needed to do next was simple: wait here for Sain Kales to return and fall into the trap.
Capturing Sain, the cosmic supremacy could be achieved.
In the Asgard war, they suffered a complete defeat without any contributions. On the contrary, Saint Tiya Star took the opportunity to capture the Coriade Star Domain, which also brought pressure to Lin Qinghe.
They must take down the Kales Empire.
If successful this time, the cosmic structure will become simpler. The Abyss and Tyr Star Domain will await elimination.
……
Skull Star, after the Kales Empire Fleet surrendered, Xu Mo and his companions began to take over the enemy fleet. For the sake of caution, he controlled all the core members of the main ships, then let his people control the fleet, ensuring nothing could go wrong. Otherwise, any sudden rebellion and attack would cause devastating damage to Skull Star, so he dared not be careless.
After the takeover, they returned to Skull Star and had Roson Chris respond to the Kales Empire, announcing the ‘victory’ of the war to prepare for their complete control of the Kales Empire.
Controlling the fleet is just the first step.
Next, they need to completely bring the Kales Empire under control. In doing so, they will hold the power to compete for cosmic dominance.
“After taking over the Kales Empire Fleet, our current fleet strength has reached the level of the top cosmic forces,” Fernand said, now the fleet they control is actually a merger of three forces.
The fleet of Xu Mo and his companions, the fleet reconstituted by the O’Brian Republic back then, and the fleet of the Kales Empire.
The current fleet size is not much inferior to the Emperor Star Fleet.
“Received news that on Asgard’s side, the Odin Family has appeared. They have honored the agreement and, from now on, will also be a force of ours,” Gaia said. Xu Mo and Odin had agreed that if they could take down the Kales Empire, Odin’s side would ally with them to confront the Emperor Star and other powers head-on.
This battle is extremely significant; it can be said to be a war that changes the cosmic landscape.
Fortunately, they succeeded.
“There’s also some bad news: the Coriade Star Domain is finished,” Gaia continued. “Led by Holy Emperor Tyrin, the Saint Tiya Star Fleet conquered multiple main stars of the Coriade Star Domain in succession, leaving the Coriade fleet without a home, completely conquering the Coriade Star Domain. Now, the Coriade Fleet is stationed in Asgard.”
As the defeated side, if the Coriade Star Domain fleet were to return, it would be certain death.
Saint Tiya used Asgard’s war to annex the Coriade Star Domain.
Of course, even if the Coriade Star Domain fleet hadn’t set out, without support from other allies, it would likely still be unable to withstand a full-on attack by the Saint Tiya Star Fleet.
This outcome was, in fact, predestined.
Such is cosmic warfare; the once-mighty superpowers, the Kales Empire and the Coriade Star Domain, collapse.
This also signifies that this cosmic war has entered its most brutal phase.
“Now, the Abyss, Tyr Star Domain, Coriade, and Asa Star Domain fleets are all stationed in Asgard?” Xu Mo asked.
“Yes, after the alliance fleet formed by the Lin, Church, and Saint Tiya Star collapsed and retreated, the return of the Coriade Star Domain fleet led them to hope all major powers would unite to recover the Coriade Star Domain,” Gaia said.
“What do the various forces think?” Xu Mo asked.
“We have yet to communicate in detail, but it’s likely that Odin’s side is unwilling. To reclaim the Coriade Star Domain, we would need to engage in full-scale war with Saint Tiya Star. The Asa Star Domain is vulnerable; at that time, Lin and the Church could choose to attack the Asa Star Domain, or they might choose to join Saint Tiya Star in besieging the Alliance Army. In a full-scale war, the Alliance Army would still be at a disadvantage. We can’t make our situation here public yet; we need to wait until we have complete control of the Kales Empire.” Gaia replied.
“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded. “We need to quickly reorganize the fleet. Additionally, do you have any suggestions on how to control the Kales Empire?”
“There is a possibility of exposure at Skull Star Domain, so it’s best to maintain combat capabilities here. The fleet cannot retreat; we can dispatch a fleet to return to the Kales Empire as soon as possible, to control the remaining high-level figures of the Kales Empire,” Gaia said.
“I’ll go with Roson Chris,” Xu Mo said. Roson Chris had already been controlled by him; he himself was also a marshal of the Kales Empire, which wouldn’t arouse suspicion. Once inside the Kales Empire, with Roson’s cooperation, controlling the high-level officials of the Kales Empire wouldn’t be difficult.
Moreover, with Sain Kales leading the army to attack, leaving the main star of the Kales Empire devoid of Destroyers, he wasn’t worried about any unexpected situations.
The group stopped walking, and in front of them, starships began to land one after another. Looking up, massive starships descended, blotting out the sky and sun.
Soon, this area was filled with starships, with those in the sky moving to other positions.
Xu Mo looked at the spectacular scene before him, his heart surging with emotions.
They finally had their own powerful fleet.
People around him continued to move forward, leaving only a few still there. Xu Mo turned to Zero beside him and asked, “How’s the injury?”
“It’s nothing,” Zero said softly, her calm eyes showing no concern.
Xu Mo held her hand and said, “It won’t be long before we conquer the Emperor Star and return to your homeland.”
“Homeland?” Zero muttered, without much sentiment.
Behind them, Qiong watched their backs, a rare gentle smile appearing in her usually unreadable eyes.
Such a perfect match.
She thought of the past when Zero brought Xu Mo secretly to the castle and was caught by them. At that time, Xu Mo was just a boy.
Now, they stood at the pinnacle of the universe, together having slain Sain, the Kales Empire Emperor.
She also believed that it wouldn’t be long before they could fight their way back to the Emperor Star.
“Emperor Star.” Qiong looked up at the sky, where that distant Emperor Star was her homeland.
Warmth flowed through Qiong’s heart, hoping this day would come soon, when she would watch the pair standing at the top of the universe, and the entire empire would bless them with beautiful wishes.
“Xu Mo, I’ll go to the Kales Empire for you,” Qiong said to Xu Mo’s back. She was also skilled in control abilities and could make the journey on his behalf.
