Chapter 1314: Difficult Foes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The disappearance of the expedition team was now linked to the Saint. The Oracle Star might just be their base camp, which meant that would be the destination of those being abducted.

A snake couldn’t do without its head. Kashawen initiated a motion to remove Ryan and demanded the establishment of a temporary standing committee to deal with this unprecedented terrorist activity. Ryan clearly couldn’t shrink from the responsibility of breeding such an organization.

The other countries were enraged. They felt that the Aslan Empire was going overboard, but these were extraordinary times. It wasn’t time to fight amongst themselves. They needed someone with power to act efficiently. The expedition this time would definitely be a joint force, but the main country paying for it would be the Aslan Empire. No one would object to their requests now.

Ryan was removed through a two-thirds vote.

Prime Minister Kashawen of Aslan was installed as the temporary President of the committee, owing to the special circumstances.

The inauguration ceremony was simple and in line with Kashawen’s style. She was really furious this time. Her strong Aslan Empire had been insulted. Two steps were discussed immediately.

The first step would be to form a fleet to head to the Oracle Star immediately. Special forces would also be transported to the Oracle Star through technical means at the same time.

The second step would be for all the countries to launch a comprehensive operation for the clean-up of these terrorist organizations. Any country or individuals that harbored the terrorists would be the enemy of the entire Milky Way Alliance!

Public opinion amongst the various countries were clear. Everyone needed a brave and responsible leader now, not someone weak.

Kashawen’s strength and dominance won the support amongst all the countries.

The efficiency was indeed improved. Everyone sent their elite forces to the Oracle Star,with Aslan as the main force.

The intelligence agencies of all the countries were also mobilized. Any organization would leave traces. They could only showcase their strength this way and follow the traces.

They had indeed messed with the wrong person. The fury of the Aslan Empire was not to be trifled with. They had now utilized the entire power of the Milky Way Alliance.

The first to bear the brunt was the Heaven’s Arrow Federation. This country was found to be closely related to the Saint. To be exact, their higher level officials were all suspected to be part of the Saint. They would’ve fallen into a circle of infinite wrangling in the past. That was no more. The army was mobilized immediately and a war erupted.

The sudden change was overwhelming. War was suddenly so close to everyone.

Such an evil organization should be cleaned up thoroughly.

The thirteen elders gathered once again in the temple of the Oracle Star. It was a forced meeting this time. The plan was formulated by everyone and had the intended effect. They just didn’t expect the counter attack of the Milky Way Alliance to be so strong. This was happening because they had angered the Aslan Empire.

Frankly speaking, it wouldn’t have escalated to such a scale if not for the fact that they wanted to capture the princess. They had underestimated the Aslan Empire, thinking that it would drag on for awhile. They had forgotten that Kashawen was a master at this. If not for them, Ryan would probably still be on his seat for some time. However, the Milky Way Alliance was now mobilizing their fleet in such a short time.

The Saint might have certain advantages in technology, but this wasn’t a huge advantage, especially in the face of Aslan and Atlantis. This was going to be a fierce battle.

The Saint had also suffered unprecedented losses in their attack. However, the thirteen elders weren’t concerned about this.

This situation wasn’t out of their expectations. The problem was that the people required by the Oracle weren’t all here.

“Great Elder, most of the plan succeeded; however, we have yet to capture Wang Zheng and Aina.”

A Greatest King and a Princess that the prophecy required, how could they not be here? Especially Wang Zheng, who had shown many signs of being the Oracle.

The attack this time had pushed the Saint backwards several decades. The cost was still acceptable. They had to grasp this opportunity even if it meant their forces were depleted. That was something all thirteen elders agreed on.

The Great Elder tapped on the table gently. “The situation isn’t too good, but the general direction is still the same. Thirteenth Elder, you go personally to Aslan to talk terms. Get Wang Zheng and Aina here personally. If not, we’ll send the corpse of Huiyin back. Not only that, a video of a Princess being r*ped and killed will be released to the world. Kashawen should know how to choose.”

The other elders were expressionless. This move was really cruel. Kashawen perhaps might sacrifice Lin Huiyin for national interest, but she would never be able to accept this. It would bring shame to her entire country.

“Yes, Great Elder. Are we going to open the wormholes in the space of Saint?”

“Haha, no need. They should have broken in already. Just do as I say. The greater the number of masters sent out, the better it is for our Oracle plan.”

The other elders agreed. Aslan would instead be helping them. Wang Zheng would definitely come if Aina were to come. The other masters would be foils. One stone could kill many birds.

“Great Elder, the fleet of the Milky Way Alliance is heading towards us now. We don’t know how much time we need to look for the Oracle. What should we do if the Oracle has yet to appear when their forces are upon us? I don’t think our forces will withstand the Milky Way Alliance’s fleet for long,” the Fifth Elder said with some worry. They weren’t worried about losses, but about the progress of the Oracle.

The Elder smiled. “The inferiority of humans will always exist. Mobilize all forces, confuse the Milky Way Alliance. Make them go in circles if this is going to be chaotic anyway.”

Everyone understood immediately. Experience really mattered. The power of rumors was the oldest trick in the book.

Rumors were real and fake at the same time. The Heaven’s Arrow Federation was indeed controlled by the Saint. It was possible to spread the rumor that the puppet master behind the Heaven’s Arrow Federation was Arbiter.

Everything was done with the secret support of Arbiter. The Saint had quite the talent in controlling people.

Rumors were scary because of the human heart. It was difficult to care about the relationships between individuals, let alone between countries.

From the beginning, everyone had an inherent understanding. How could a small terrorist organization be so bold?

There was obviously a backer!

Who stood to gain the most with Aslan humiliated and in chaos?

Arbiter had the greatest motive. The competition between the two empires was not something new, neither were proxy wars.

Things were becoming complicated. This was no longer just an attack against the Heaven’s Arrow Federation.
