Chapter 1420: Kill Them All

Bolet had thought about this. He knew about Lear, of course. He came from Earth and had been constantly eclipsed by Wang Zheng. He was different, refusing to be suppressed by Wang Zheng. Bolet was very interested in Lear being able to escape the Oracle Star and being able to complete the Saint's experiment. Manalasuo loved innovation. That aspect was totally different from other countries. They weren't afraid of being different, nor were they afraid to try new things, and bioengineering was definitely not a problem. To Bolet, anything that could improve combat effectiveness was good. Lear didn't seem like much of a problem either. Genetic modification or cell enhancement weren't really necessary in peaceful times, but it wasn't impossible to consider now.

The most important question was the result it could bring about.

The Solar System was the one in real danger compared to the other countries. They activated their full forces and Saturn's defense, but it eventually collapsed. The Solar System lost thousands of warships again. Their portals now opened wide. The once supreme existence called mankind was now a little white lamb for slaughter.

Drachmach and the rest led the defense but were continuously forced back. Earth itself was in turmoil too. Conservatives had jumped at the opportunity to sing the song of surrender.

They saw no hope in this war.

Maacah was consolidating their forces after they took down Saturn's defense. The battle had taken a toll on them. Their logistics had been continuously supplying them throughout. They had to be more conscious, especially in such a situation. The Solar System was now a tiger without its fangs. Allen Porter and Iyerta Laboge were of the same opinion — wait for their reinforcements before destroying Mars. Mars was the strongest in the Solar System. Destroying Mars was akin to destroying the Solar System's last line of defense. The Moon and Earth would have no choice but to surrender after Mars fell.

Of course, from a tactical point of view, Allen Porter had issued an ultimatum to the Solar System, to give up the futile resistance and surrender. They would adhere to the basic captive guarantee of the Milky Way Alliance.

It was a bid to divide the Solar System from within, making them less united to pave the war for the final decisive war. After all, a real surrender was unlikely since they were not desperate.

A good general knew how to strategize.

Of course, there was also some bad news. According to intel, a fleet was slowly approaching the Solar System. It seemed like a joke, but it was actually from the Titatitan Star!

The Titatitan Star!

Everyone burst out laughing after being shocked for five whole seconds. The fleet of the Titatitan Star?

Were they stupid?

They knew that Tita had obtained some leftovers from the Sirius Star and gotten the dwarves to pilot them. It wasn't difficult to pilot a warship, but war was a completely different matter altogether. The Darkness Empire was elated. It was best for them to wipe them all out and save them trouble, even though they didn't think these pieces of trash could pose any threat.

The coalition forces had a great feeling of the situation. They beamed with confidence and dismissed Wang Zheng's fleet.

Wang Zheng had just entered the ranks of Heaven-rank and was not a cause for worry. If he had arrived before the start of the war, it would have posed a big problem since it would have been a three on three battle. However, it was a three on two battle now, and they now knew Shelley Ritter's power. They could only say that the Heaven-rank warrior of the Solar System was weaker and getting on in her years. Shelley Ritter and Lie Shuangtian were older than the coalition forces' Heaven-rank warriors by a decade. Time could naturally deepen understanding at some stages, but when they reached the bottleneck, time would take away a lot of things. That affected especially the Heaven-rank warriors.

At the same time, the injuries were more severe for Shelley, and would take her more time to recover. Her condition would deteriorate rapidly if she were to fight again. Also, not everyone could use this kind of self-destructive method. The Lie Flame Technique could only display such power because Lie Shuangtian had used it. That was out of the coalition forces' expectation. They were planning to kill their opponents without a drop of blood. A battle between Heaven-ranks was a contest of their realm. It was extremely cruel, but if arranged well, it could be bloodless. Of course, this would be the situation if they used an overwhelming number of people. The Darkness Empire was still best at sneaky attacks.

It would be extremely convenient to kill Wang Zheng in the Solar System as well.

The coalition forces deliberately slowed down their offensive attacks. On the one hand, that allowed their supporting fleet to catch up to them. On the other hand, it was also to wipe out Wang Zheng and his buffoon fleet. It would be a shame to scare Wang Zheng back to Tita as it would be troublesome for their future occupation of Tita. They were most afraid of a Heaven-rank with guerrilla tactics. Those savages wouldn't submit if Wang Zheng didn't die, that much was clear. That was why they shouldn't miss this chance since he was courting his own death. They could even borrow the Maacah Republic's strength now. How could the Darkness Empire miss out on such a good deal?

Such a juicy plot was the reason why Iyerta Laboge had been so very polite and enthusiastic recently. Allen Porter knew what the Darkness Empire was plotting, but they weighed the odds and gave in. After all, their battle would have gone south if it wasn't for the Darkness Empire. Moreover, they only wanted resources and would take no part in management after the occupation. That met the needs of the Maacah Republic. They wanted the right to occupy and show off the strength of their nation in the new world structure.

They both took what they wanted.

The Darkness Empire wanted benefits, while the Maacah Republic wanted pride. The Ghana Star and the Norton Star, as followers, would obtain benefits as well. The Ghana Star was here to loot, while the Norton Star wanted independence.

Starry skies filled the military meeting room of the higher echelons of the Solar System. Many of them joined through Skylink.

The presiding officer was Ye Bingwen. He was still the speaker of the Solar System in name. The only thing he did was express his support for Meng Ao and the rest. However, Meng Ao returned in low spirits after his defeat. What was a politician?

They cared not about the processes and looked only at the results. They had been attacked in various ways before the meeting had even begun.

Oak listened, standing at the sidelines. His heart thumped fearfully, the situation was more dire than expected.
