<h4>Chapter 1218 It’s Coming!</h4>


    “President, there’s a new piece of news from Twilight. Duke Allomore has disappeared.” General Adam came in with bad news.


    Adam was the superior of the white-haired general who was observing the battle between Twilight and the Federation.


    The president frowned. “What happened?”


    “Ling Xiao didn’t attack the capital of Twilight. He chose to attack Three Stars Lock instead.” Adam’s expression was dark. “Duke Allomone was stationed at Three Stars Lock based on our n.”


    “It means that Ling Xiao has seeded.” The president lowered his eyes. No emotions could be seen on his face.


    “Yes. Three Stars Lock ispletely destroyed. If Twilight doesn’t receive any replenishment of supplies from the other nations, it will copse.” Adam smiled bitterly. They wanted to use Twilight to probe the Federation to see what the Federation’s limit was. Yet, now, no harm seemed to be done to the Federation and one of their god-ss operators was even missing because of this. Was he captured by their enemy or was he dead?


    Adam quickly kicked thetter thought out of his mind. How could a god-ss operator die? He must have surrendered and volunteered to be the Federation’s ‘guest’.


    “Did they find Ling Xiao?” The president was concerned about Ling Xiao’s movements.


    “No. Twilight was a step toote. Ling Xiao managed to escape.” Adam gave a forced smile.


    “He didn’t escape. He retreated safely,” the president calmly replied.


    “Yes. Twilight can only use such words to cover up their failure.” Adam felt the same way too.


    The president sighed. He leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes.


    The room was dead silent. The silencested for a few minutes. Adam could stand it anymore so he promptly asked in a soft voice, “President, are we going to continue waiting?”


    Caesar was prepared to fight the Federation. They were just waiting for the order from their president. This meant that an intergctic war was just a single approval away from starting. Caesar hoped that they could use this chance to defeat the Federation to be the sole ruler of all nations.


    The president opened his eyes and stood up slowly. He walked to the virtual map of the universe that was disyed on the podium opposite of him. He looked at the two nations with thergestndmass. One was Caesar and the other was Huaxia. Aplex expression shed past his eyes.


    After a few seconds, he said, “Yes... the time is not right.”


    “When is the right time?” Adam said impatiently.


    The president turned and red at him.


    Adam felt his heart dropping. He hurriedly lowered his head and kept quiet.


    The president’s expression softened. He replied indifferently, “Don’t be anxious. Glory would only award the patient.”


    ‘Must I bear with it?’ General Adam sighed in frustration. However, he didn’t dare to say otherwise. The president was the most powerful figure in Caesar. Both the government and the military had to listen to him. The president could only be impeached by the Legitive Council if he did anything to harm the nation or made any fatal mistake. If the impeachment was sessful, he would then be removed from office.


    “We must only fight when we have enough benefits to gain. It is just not enough right now.” The president was an ambitious person.


    General Adam started pondering. He thought of something


    “Tell the people below to hold their temper. Once the time is right, they can release all their anger at once,” the president spoke calmly again. His tone was indifferent but the words he said were ruthless.


    General Adam trembled as he quickly answered, “Yes, president.”


    At Base Neb, Little Four managed to intercept the news that Ling Xiao had sessfully destroyed Three Stars Lock and retreated unscathed. He immediately told Boss about it.


    “Boss, good news. Father managed to destroy the logistics headquarters of Twilight at Three Stars Lock. This is a huge merit.” Little Four excitedly danced in Ling Lan’s mindscape.


    Ling Lan wasn’t as excited as Little Four. She seemed worried instead.


    Little Four’s heart dropped. His cheering arms froze in mid-air. He asked curiously, “Boss, what happened? Is this a bad thing?”


    Ling Lan shook her head. “It’s not bad. It’s just that someone might get impatient.”


    Her father’s enemy wouldn’t let him climb to the peak so smoothly. Maybe they were already nning something against him. Her mother belonged to the Lan family which was based on General. Even if they didn’t recognise her publicly, they wouldn’t let anyone harm her, so it would be easy for her father’s enemy to target her mother. On the contrary, she was at the Neb Boundary with no one supporting her, making her an easy target.


    That was why her father told her to get prepared before he left. If she was right, the Lingtian Independent Army would receive a new order soon.


    After some time, the news that Ling Xiao sessfully destroyed Three Stars Lock spreaded across the gxy.


    The war on Qi Yaoyang’s side hade to a standstill. No one was able to win or lose. However, after knowing that Ling Xiao had ambushed Three Stars Lock, Twilight suddenly gave up their frontline and thes on their borders. They met up with the divisions that recently came from Three Stars Lock and prepared for retaliation.


    Qi Yaoyang didn’t dare to act rashly as he only had one division under hismand. Even if he had four god-ss operators, it would be almost impossible for him to fight against five divisions and four god-ss operators.


    Since Ling Xiao’s 23rd division was already exposed, the 4th division stopped hiding and quickly joined the 13th division. The 7th division continued to fight against two divisions and one god-ss operator.


    Qi Yaoyang immediately reported the situation to the headquarters and asked for reinforcements. The headquarters moved quickly too and sent new divisions out.


    The war between Twilight and the Federation was paused for a moment. Instead, the battlefield changed to the meeting of the Intergctic United Nations instead. The representatives from Twilight condemned Ling Xiao for killing innocent citizens of their nation. They wanted the Intergctic United Nations to punish Ling Xiao.


    The representatives from the Federation scoffed at their statement. They were at war. No one cared about humanitarianism at such times. Were they hoping that the soldiers from the Federation would stick their necks out voluntarily and let them chop it? Three Stars Lock was the logistics headquarters of Twilight. Where did the innocent citizense from?


    The representatives from the two countries argued furiously. Sometimes, they would curse each other and maybe even do some warm-up exercises to flex their strength. The foreign rtions officers from the Federation were well-versed in physical skills so it was easy for them to asionally throw some files and cups over. They might even asionally throw a table or a chair for dramatic effect.
