Chapter 188: 108 Great Harvest Chapter 188: 108 Great Harvest The Fourth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet decelerated simultaneously, using the Fifth Administrative Star as a midpoint, maintaining a synchronous speed.

All channel noise was cleared.

The figure of General Joble appeared on the projection screens of the bridges of the Sixth Fleet’s ships.

Officers, soldiers, and technicians looked on in disbelief at the scene before them:
General Joble, who had ruled the Sixth Fleet for over ten years, was kneeling before the command platform of the Vaglu General, surrounded by corpses. The figure in gray-white full exoskeleton armor revealed half of its body, pressing a laser pistol to the back of General Joble’s head.

General Joble’s voice trembled slightly.

“Just, just a few minutes ago, I made a wrong decision, announcing support for the rebels on the Fifth Administrative Star.

“This is a complete political farce, in, in…”

Several soldiers suddenly appeared from the rear.

The laser gun’s few light bullets were firmly blocked by a defensive shield that bounced off the figure in gray-white, as these loyal soldiers dropped their laser guns, drew the Light Swords from their waists, and charged at the ‘enemy’ holding the general hostage.

Half of the Sixth Fleet’s officers witnessed this brief battle firsthand.

The enemy, single-handedly turning around, wielded a crimson Light Sword that blocked and swept left and right. With only two pivoting moves, it broke through the soldiers’ standard personal energy shields and slashed through the soldiers’ bodies with the Light Sword.

General Joble had just struggled to get up and hadn’t managed to run two steps before being kicked to the ground by the enemy. The laser pistol left two scorched black dents on the deck in front of General Joble, and an obvious notch appeared on General Joble’s ear.

“Ah! Stop, stop! I’ll do as you say! I’ll do everything as you say!”

Joble shouted, his forehead covered with sweat.

“All ships of the Sixth Fleet stop their actions and accept reorganization by the Fourth Fleet!

“Gudun Mah has promised me he won’t let you fall into a predicament, all the charges will be borne by me and the high-rank officers who have already died here!

“I was deceived by the New Federation Agency, accepting their vast wealth; my children and wife have already settled in the New Federation, as have my relatives and friends!

“I betrayed Wind, this country… Most leaders of the rebellion on the Fifth Administrative Star are the same, long since puppets of the New Federation… Oh! They know all this, why do they still want me to say it!”

This last half-sentence was Joble shouting at the ‘enemy’ behind him.

Yang Ming ignored him, merely walking to General Joble’s side, raising his Light Sword before him, and speaking slowly,
“I will escort you to the great Emperor of the Luofeng Empire, and you only need to explain your crimes in front of the Emperor and plead for forgiveness.”

The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Fleet were completely stunned.

Was this the legendary secret force of the Emperor?

What the hell was this?

Five minutes ago, they declared an uprising.

Five minutes later, they declared defeat.

This was simply… the quickest ended fleet uprising in the history of the Galaxy!

As Yang Ming’s words ended, a fully uniformed Gudun Mah appeared on the projection screens of the Sixth Fleet’s ships.

“Officers of the Sixth Fleet, I am Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Gudun Mah.

“The high ranks of the Sixth Fleet were infiltrated by New Federation agents, and this rebellion has been under our full surveillance from the start. Separatists are criminals, and those who attempt to turn the nation into a colonial power’s vassal are even more unforgivable.

“But I believe most of you were deceived…”

Gudun Mah began a low and slow speech.

Lyu’s voice sounded in Yang Ming’s ear:
“Boss, Gudun Mah’s speech is not very effective; the captains of the ships are discussing scattering and escaping.”

Yang Ming frowned slightly.

He had gone to great lengths to address the flagship of the Sixth Fleet, all for these warships.

If the captains defected to the New Federation, most of them could indeed escape.

Since persuasion wouldn’t work…

He would have to use force in numbers.

Yang Ming instructed Lyu, “Modify the teleprompter in front of Gudun Mah to have him repeat what I’m about to say.”

“Okay, boss.”

Quickly, Gudun Mah on the projection screen paused for a few seconds.

He frowned and pondered, cleared his throat, and his gaunt expression returned to its usual somberness.

“These hypocritical niceties, there’s no need for me to say them to you.

“I am here today with the intention of annexing the Sixth Fleet; it is a well-known fact that the royal family does not have a fleet they can directly command.

“There is no need for us to fight to the death because of General Joble’s greed and stupidity; when Joble accepted the New Federation’s bribe, his personal interests were already unrelated to yours, the Sixth Fleet.

“You have two choices today.

“The first is to continue in this profession with me. I will reorganize the Sixth and Fourth Fleets, partly responsible for protecting Ilando Star and partly for other Administrative Stars. You understand what I mean. Everyone, and I mean all of you, upon coming to me, will retain your military ranks, with real power only reduced by half a level, and captains downgraded from formal to acting, without changes to salary and bonuses; the usual business of the Sixth Fleet will remain unchanged. The benefits that should be yours will not change, and I can even offer you more, as long as your abilities are outstanding.

“Who I am, my abilities, my methods, you should all have heard of. When Joble was a communications officer, it was I who trained him.

“The second option is to defect to the New Federation, where you will then face full-scale pursuit by both the Luofeng Empire and the Sherman Empire. Your wives, children, and relatives will also be implicated.
