Chapter 1450: 558: The Eve of the Outbreak (Part 3)

Reconciliation? Or is there some other plot?

Allison carefully pondered, flipping through that message many times, finally shaking his head.

"Allison, please come to the basement immediately! Come to the meeting room! There's an extremely dangerous situation now!"

Allison patted his cheeks, drank the potion that kept him energetic, and hurried to the elevator in the rest area.

He wanted to help the New Federation to preserve enough strength during the upcoming third natural disaster surge to maintain the New Federation's standing within the five camps, so everything he had done over the years would be meaningful.

He would actively showcase the letter from the White Ghost; it was also his political capital.

An hour later.

The emergency meeting paused for a break; these representatives, top officials, and generals who controlled the New Federation gathered to discuss.

Allison did not expect the current situation to be so perilous.

Reportedly, the Empire had issued a full mobilization order, and the Emperor had published an open letter to all citizens, but the signature on this open letter was not the Emperor's but the Imperial Defense System's.

The general content of the open letter was like this:

[To all 627 billion imperial citizens:

The Sherman Empire is about to face its greatest challenge since its inception.

The Empire needs to be reborn, and the dirty Pan-Galaxy human civilization needs rebirth.

In the coming month, imperial citizens should remain on their respective planets, go to shelters, and evacuate to safe areas; I have prepared sufficient supplies for you.

I will mobilize eighty percent of conventional military forces and all the stored fleets to cleanse the Milky Way human civilization.

The future continuation of the Empire will no longer be within my consideration; I ask all imperial citizens to prepare psychologically for the upcoming turbulent situation.

Imperial Defense System, from today onwards, will no longer guard the Sherman Empire.]

Yes, the Emperor Guard System has betrayed humanity.

According to the intelligence they currently have, a formidable military force has gathered within the Empire.

Before publicly releasing this letter, all ships of the Empire's conventional military forces had completed the replacement with Mechanical Guards. This plan had been implemented half a month ago, and now it is just the final step.

Empire soldiers have been stationed on the planetary surface and Space Port.

The stored fleet of warships sailed from deep space naval ports, organized, and joined the Levi Fleet's attack formations.

Now, within the Empire, there are over sixty thousand semi-permanent main warships, thirty-six thousand conventional warships over three hundred meters long (most are modern stored warships), and more than two hundred thousand civilian ships recruited and deployed.

Various light industrial ships, production ships, and maintenance supply ships appeared within the formation.

Semi-permanent materials only delay the ship's lifespan and cannot increase firepower; in other words, these thirty-six thousand conventional warships carrying Mechanical Guards have similar combat capabilities to the Levi Fleet.

What is the most terrifying part of the Levi Fleet?

It's their high response speed and their comprehensive firepower integration in local battlefields!

What makes the New Federation most uncomfortable is that approximately twenty-five percent of the Empire's combat power is targeting them.

Both the Free Federation and Guel Alliance received similar treatment, but they each bear twenty percent and eighteen percent of the pressure, respectively.

Another battle that could lead to national extinction if not fought well.

And these imperial fleets about to set sail have no strategic targets; they aim to destroy and wreck, with civilian ships carrying billions of Mechanical Guards like the Insect Race, destroying every planet with human life.

What Allison finds most incomprehensible is...

"None of the eight combat groups of the Emperor Guard System are targeting the Wind Alliance?"

"Yes, Allison, do you know anything? Can you have the White Ghost support us here? Prioritizing support."

Allison felt like slapping himself twice.

He should never have opened his mouth!

"I'll give it a try," Allison said in a deep voice, "Now it seems the matter isn't that simple, why would the Emperor Guard System spare the White Ghost?"

"Because the White Ghost also possesses a Divine-level Mechanical Thought Body auxiliary."

An old representative spoke up:

"Now, what we need to do is unite all political entities and choose the area of the outbreak for the war at the Empire's borders! We absolutely can't let those mechanical armies rush to our Administrative Star; the former Empire was just about plundering; the current Empire aims to destroy!"

"Already contacting other political entities; they are also contacting us."

"Let the White Ghost stand out, he assassinated Levi, triggering all this."

"Are you worthless? Does the White Ghost have to stand out for everything? He's also our enemy!"

The entire hall began to erupt into chaos.

Allison rubbed his temples, looking at the countdown on the big screen, and his brain showed signs of shutting down.
