Kepler didn't care about calling back the Anthem warriors. He only needed to pay attention to Kepler's movements. Minor disturbances or attacks would give him an excuse. A group of ants thought they were powerful after spending some time in the Anthem. If that were the case, he would be very happy to wipe out the potential of humanity in one fell swoop.

When Li Hao met Polina, she was making clothes for children. This was her way of calming down during her rest. Seeing Li Hao, she showed a slight smile, "Brother Li, welcome back. Are you still afraid I'll use you for experiments this time?"

Li Hao shrugged. "I have to come back even if I'm afraid. Polina, you're stronger than I thought." Polina stood up and made tea for Li Hao and Ayouyou. "Honestly, it's okay. Everyone doesn't have to worry. I'm not exactly a normal person either. I've seen too much life and death. I don't know how many lives have ended in my hands. Romero and I are both very open-minded. The brothers have been through life and death for a long time. Don't worry about me. If you want to avenge Romero, there's no need to rush. I don't think he wants you to throw your lives away. My only worry is this child. What if I can't protect her one day?"

Polina was small, but she was indeed a very domineering and decisive woman at heart. She never cared so much about herself, but the child made her willing to give everything.

Li Hao nodded. "What do you think of my skills? I'll take her as a disciple. I won't say anything else, but as long as I'm alive, I'll definitely take care of her and help her grow up healthy."

Polina looked at Li Hao and let go of her last obsession. "Li Hao, that's enough for me to hear. You must have a plan for coming back this time. Kepler will fully cooperate." Romero, who loved her the most, cared for her the most, and held her in his palm, was gone. Without Romero, she felt like she was back to being the old Polina. Although she had many friends around her, Malone, Sheng Man, Annie, Kevin, Jeris, Shi Xiaotang, etc., it wasn't the same. But no matter what, for the sake of this child, she had to live well now!

Li Hao and Ayouyou left, and Ayouyou sighed softly. "I don't think Polina has gotten over it yet." Li Hao took Ayouyou's hand. "It can only be done little by little. First, avenge Romero. The Orcs have pushed us into a corner. This battle is inevitable."

Ayouyou nodded. "Romero and Polina understand you very well. She has already asked Kepler to prepare in advance. If Li Hao wasn't going to take action, he wouldn't have called back all the warriors from the various Anthems. The Orcs have an absolute advantage in the current balance of power. There's no doubt about that, but Li Hao must have some kind of trump card."

"The specific implementation will take some time. Let's prepare for both possibilities. In any case, the Orcs must pay the price."

Li Hao said that he still needed to investigate the power layout of Massa Planet and Sky City. There was no such thing as 100% success, but there were things that had to be done 100%. 1800 Tianwu had arrived and been distributed. Anthem warriors from various places returned one after another.

More than a thousand people, almost half of the combat types stationed outside, and all the Apocalypse members had returned. In fact, Romero had also been selecting those with strong souls among the warriors in Kepler. The method of unlocking the gene lock found by Polina and Kevin had many limitations and was not suitable for everyone, but more than 2,000 warriors had completed it. These were all ready-to-use combat forces, of course, with a power level only at the Zhouyan level of Zhoutian force. Of course, they were very experienced in combat.

That night, a war meeting was held in the Governor's Mansion. Li Hao, Ayouyou, Maxis, Asaka Aolong, Basta, Dumeila, Zhou Naiyi, and Kevin were present. This was Kepler's wartime cabinet.

At the round table meeting, Li Hao looked at everyone and could see that their strength had improved. "There are two goals for this operation: one is Massa Great Sky City, and the other is Man Ci Gu. I will need at most a month to figure out their deployment. Before that, everyone should prepare for battle."

"Not using the Anthem mechanism?" Dumeila was stunned. They all thought that Li Hao wanted to use his relationship with Ozier to force the Orcs of Massa to start the Anthem dispute arbitration mechanism. Maxis and the others were sitting upright and were taken aback by Li Hao's words. They thought that Li Hao would launch an Anthem challenge to Massa Planet. Kepler now had the Anthem and had a mechanism to use the Anthem challenge to resolve disputes, especially when there was evidence. "The Anthem mechanism is based on equality," Kevin said.

"The Orcs don't think we're worthy yet." Witnessing Romero's death, the one who couldn't be comforted the most was Kevin. That trip was when he truly saw the humbleness of humans and the arrogance of the Orcs.

"That's right. What we have with the Orcs of Massa is not a dispute, but revenge," Li Hao said. In an instant, the atmosphere in the meeting room changed. Not using the Anthem mechanism was equivalent to starting a war. This battle was of great significance.

"Brother Li, if it's just to destroy Sky City, we're confident," Asaka Aolong nodded. He knew that Li Hao wouldn't talk nonsense and must have some methods that they didn't know. Moreover, from a combat power assessment, they were definitely at an advantage against the rabble of Sky City with Tianwu. The people present would not underestimate themselves.

"What about Man Ci Gu, Brother Li? That guy's Zhougang is the real deal and has reached its peak," Maxis said in a deep voice. This was also what Maxis and others who had come into contact with the top power were most worried about.

"Leave him to me," Li Hao said. No one could take this. The more they reached the level of Asaka Aolong, the more they knew the horror of a general.

"Senior, if we launch this kind of war, will it cause retaliation from the Orc Empire, or will the hostile forces of the Star Alliance take the opportunity to make trouble?" Ayouyou asked.

The situation of the war aside, the result had to be considered. Li Hao wanted to launch a special operation, which was likely to cause strong revenge. They couldn't just think about being happy without thinking about the consequences.

"We have evidence of Man Ci Gu, so there's no need to worry about the Star Alliance. Moreover, the Ozier Empire and the Helavis Empire will provide some diplomatic support. If the Orcs launch a large-scale war, it will be the same as opposing the Star Alliance's order. If they dare, we won't retaliate, but they will still dare," Li Hao said. "This battle must be fast. You must destroy Sky City and the Stargate before the Seventh Fleet's rescue arrives."

Zhou Naiyi nodded. "I agree. This battle is inevitable. Whether the rules are useful or not, sometimes there will be results while fighting. Always avoiding and always preparing will never end. Besides, we have no way out. Man Ci Gu targeting Romero was just a test. It will only intensify later!"

Everyone else had no objection. They had prepared for battle when they came back. Massa Planet must have strengthened its defenses.

Li Hao divided everyone into five teams led by Asaka Aolong, Maxis, Basta, and Zhou Naiyi.

Dumeila led one team to understand everyone's combat power and also to teach the Kepler warriors how to use the Zhoutian force of the Anthem. Romero's preparation actually played a very important role. Li Hao spent some time every day to learn about Asaka Aolong's combat knives. After all, raising their level was his specialty, and it was more useful for his brothers. Meeting Long Danni and Wu Fa was much easier. Originally, Long Danni and Wu Fa were invited to the war meeting, but they did not directly participate. Instead, they waited for a plan to communicate, which was also an attitude.

It was true that Li Hao was their junior, but now Li Hao was the highest authority in Kepler and even had to shoulder more. The Solar System Council was preparing to propose Li Hao as the new governor of Kepler. Currently, only he was qualified in the entire Kepler. Anyone else would be met with strong resistance and would also become a member of the Solar System Alliance Cabinet. In the future, when an army was established, he would also be the commander-in-chief of the Kepler Autonomous State, with military and political power in his hands.

"Principal, General Wu Fa, long time no see. You are still as charming as ever," Li Hao said with a smile.

"You made an even bigger commotion in the Anthem. We don't need to praise each other. To be honest, we didn't do anything," Wu Fa said with a wry smile. He was more realistic, so it wasn't easy for him to perform in the Cabinet.

He took the initiative to undertake Kepler's affairs.

"Li Hao, are you planning to use force against Massa in the near future?" Long Danni was more concerned about this.

"Yes, but the specifics will depend on the action after investigating their military equipment. I estimate that our warriors are not superior in terms of the number of combat forces, but they are stronger in strength," Li Hao said.

"With the gene lock unlocked and advanced Tianwu, our soul strength is stronger than the Orcs. Of course, I'm talking about the average level. There are also masters among the Orcs."

Wu Fa nodded. He was worried that Li Hao was too confident. "We have also been studying the Orcs' combat power. Their Orc Martial Arts Corps is very large, but the high-end combat power is not as strong as imagined. It's just that we are at a complete disadvantage in terms of the fleet and have no control."

Therefore, if they were to take action, they had to avoid direct combat. It was impolite not to reciprocate, Li Hao said. "Principal, Kevin will give you evidence later. This is a record of Romero's fleet being besieged by the Massa army. After our battle plan is over, you can use it according to the situation."

The role of this evidence could be maximized in the hands of the Solar System Council.

Danni and Wu Fa looked at each other. "If there's evidence, why didn't you submit it to the Star Alliance earlier?"

Li Hao smiled. "Is it useful?"

Wu Fa was silent for a while. "You're right. In the end, we still have to speak with strength. We have been in the Star Alliance for a while and have been subject to various sanctions and suppression. Truth is only within the range of naval guns."

You want to use this as a backup.

"Yes, regardless of whether the battle plan is successful or not, as long as we have this, the solar system can extract itself. We can't go all-in," Li Hao said with a smile.

Looking at Li Hao's smile, Long Danni and Wu Fa realized a problem, that is, Li Hao was not completely sure about this battle, otherwise, he would not need to give it to them. He wanted to take Kepler as the vanguard of mankind.

"Have you thought it through?" Long Danni sighed.

"Principal, I was born a human, and I will be a human ghost when I die. If humans want to gain a foothold in the Star Alliance, there must be sacrifices. Romero is not the first, and I will not be the last. Of course, I still hope to live."

"Don't look at me like that. I still have a bright future, but I'm just planning for the worst and welcoming the best results," Li Hao spread his hands and said with a smile.

"What do you need us to do?" Wu Fa said in a deep voice. "Principal, the Anthem construction cannot be stopped. Having the Anthem and not having the Anthem are completely two different concepts," Li Hao said.

"General Wu Fa, we must continue to speak out to the outside world. Although criticism is useless, it can at least confuse the enemy. I think there are many people in the council who are good at acting. In addition, Kepler's material aspects still need to be supplemented by the solar system."

Wu Fa nodded. "These are no problem. The council has reached an agreement and there will be no moths in a short time. It's good to be accustomed to responding to changes. If there are any who don't know what's good for them, we will not sit idly by. Let's get something direct. We can't have you bleeding on the front lines and still have people stabbing you in the back. We need high-yield nuclear bombs. These shouldn't be destroyed, right?"
