“He's in Di Xing·City of Freedom! I did try to persuade him to stay in Star Ring City, which is at least relatively stable, but he refused!"

Tiya replied.

"It's normal to refuse. Chairman Alles wouldn't stay in Star Ring City alone just for his own safety."

"That's true! Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. We'll chat again when things calm down later!"

"Okay!"

Su Mo then hung up the communication.

At this time, the federal troops in the starry sky began to mobilize, leaving the defense area and flying towards Di Xing.

Su Mo turned around and instructed Qian Chengxue and others, "I'm leaving the defense of the Prison of Heart to you. I'm going to the Federation to meet with Chairman Alles."

"No problem, go ahead and be careful!"

Qian Chengxue nodded in response.

"I know."

Su Mo then turned and left.

Soon after, Su Mo flew out of the Immortal Blade in the Mad Eye Reinock, heading towards Di Xing at high speed.

As he approached Di Xing, Su Mo saw mecha engaged in fierce battles in the starry sky outside Di Xing.

Beams of light and missiles streaked across the sky!

The public communication channel was filled with curses.

"The lackeys of Star Ring City, the traitors of humanity, instead of leading us to resist Star Ring City, you turn your swords against us."

"The rebels have the nerve to talk? Look at what you've done to the entire Federation."

…

Su Mo glanced at the scene, his expression becoming even heavier. The situation in the Federation was even more pessimistic than he had imagined. He took a deep breath, calmed his turbulent emotions, and flew towards Di Xing.

Star Ring City·Grace Square.

Millions of people gathered, including those from the countries of the First Cradle, as well as the Second and Third Cradles.

Everyone held up various banners and flags, constantly shouting.

Their expressions were angry, uneasy, fearful, and confused...

"We want to see City Lord Ikaloya!!"

"We demand an explanation!"

"We want to know the truth of history!"

…

However, no matter how the crowd protested and shouted, from the outbreak of the incident until now, they never saw Ikaloya appear.

"Could it be that what's being said on the forum is true?"

"Are we really here to die? Is there really no hope for us?"

"Why won't she come out and explain! Why!"

…

Many anxiously waiting people completely lost control of their emotions, roaring in despair.

Unfortunately, it was useless. Standing before them were only the elite soldiers of Star Ring City, clad in heavy mechanical armor, their eyes cold and ruthless.

Not far from Grace Square, on the rooftop of a tall building.

Hellenweisse and Kavisett stood there, with Mon里克, Enlock, Rulawi, Xiao Jie, Mai Han and others standing behind them. They looked out at the agitated Grace Square and the chaotic Star Ring City.

At this time, Kavisett's mouth slightly raised, revealing a bright smile.

Hellenweisse looked at the Star Ring City, which was on the verge of losing control, and a trace of anger appeared on her delicate face. She suddenly drew a red lightsaber and placed it on Kavisett's neck, saying angrily.

"I'm helping you so you can rescue my brother. Look at the good things you've done. You've caused chaos everywhere, and countless people have died because of you."

Kavisett didn't dodge. He looked at Hellenweisse with a helpless expression and said.

"Aren't you wrongly accusing me?"

"How am I wrongly accusing you?"

"Everything I've done is to save Eureka. If Star Ring City wasn't in chaos, and everyone didn't resist Ikaloya, how would we have a chance to rescue Eureka? Isn't everything I've done just preliminary preparations?"

"You....."

Hellenweisse was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to refute. Reason told her that everything Kavisett said was an excuse, that he was deceiving her.

But intuition also told Hellenweisse that if she didn't do this, there would be no chance to rescue Eureka.

Her expression changed constantly. In the end, intuition overwhelmed reason, and she slowly retracted the lightsaber in her hand. She gritted her teeth and said.

"You better not lie to me. Also, now that Star Ring City is in chaos, when will you take action to rescue my brother?"

"Don't worry, the time isn't right yet. Haste makes waste, but it'll be soon..."

Kavisett replied with an evil smile.

Hellenweisse took a deep breath. She had no way out now and could only trust Kavisett.

…

Star Ring City·Administrative Council Building.

Third floor waiting area.

Officers and generals in Star Ring City military uniforms paced back and forth.

Everyone's faces were filled with anxiety and confusion.

They kept asking the officers in charge of relaying orders.

"We demand to see Lord Ikaloya. When will Lord Ikaloya see us?"

"Please help us report it."

…

"Aren't you making things difficult for me? Lord Ikaloya clearly stated that unless she actively wants to see someone, she won't see anyone else!"

The officer in charge of relaying orders replied with difficulty.

"No, the outside world is about to turn upside down, and I can hardly hold down the soldiers below. I must see Lord Ikaloya to ask about the situation!"

"That's right, we want to see Lord Ikaloya."

…

The officers and generals waiting on the scene said anxiously.

These generals and officers were rarely so flustered. In fact, they couldn't be blamed, because such a big thing had happened, and anyone would be very uneasy.

The most deadly thing was that Ikaloya didn't come out to clarify.

"No, Lord Ikaloya's orders are not negotiable. You should know that very well. No matter how much you make a fuss, it's useless. The guarding soldiers won't let you in. You should wait patiently."

The officer relaying orders on the scene said helplessly.

At this time, the soldiers maintaining order on the scene took a step forward, forming a wall of solemnity to prevent the officers and generals from rushing in.

"Sigh!"

…

The officers and generals present also stomped their feet on the ground in frustration!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Di Xing·City of Freedom.

Su Mo flew the Mad Eye Reinock over the city. The once prosperous city was now filled with black smoke.

Violent explosions occurred in some areas from time to time.

On the city streets, Black Steel mecha were holding heavy weapons, standing guard!

Interstellar fighters streaked across the sky from time to time!

Even so, the whole city was still in chaos.

Su Mo glanced around and flew towards the Federal Administrative Building. As he approached, five Night Guard mecha came up to meet him.

A tired voice sounded in the communication channel.

"Are you Lord Su Mo? I am Lieutenant Colonel Jerifi of the Federal Special Defense Force. This is a routine verification during this extraordinary period."

"Yes, I want to see Chairman Alles."

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll report it for you!"

Lieutenant Colonel Jerifi replied respectfully.

In about a few minutes, Lieutenant Colonel Jerifi said, "Chairman Alles asks you to wait in the office. He will come to see you soon."

"Okay, thank you!"

Su Mo said as he prepared to pilot the mecha away.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Jerifi, who was leading the way, hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Lord Su Mo, can I ask you a question?"

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then stopped.

"Speak."

"Is the video on the forum real? Is there really no hope for us? Are we really just cannon fodder?"

Lieutenant Colonel Jerifi asked, gritting his teeth.

Su Mo was silent for a few seconds, then said to him, "As long as you're alive, there's hope in this world. And we're not cannon fodder. You don't need to question Star Ring City either. We are indeed working for them, but they also give us generous rewards. There's no such thing as cannon fodder. It's just a matter of mutual need. The road is under our own feet, and we decide how to walk it. If you don't walk it well, don't blame the road for being uneven."

"Understood! Thank you."

After hearing Su Mo's words, Lieutenant Colonel Jerifi seemed to feel much lighter, as if a stone had been lifted from his heart. He replied gratefully.
