Chapter 816: Chapter 143: Alliance Army Invasion (Part 2)

“Yes.” The people behind responded in unison.

“Captain, step out.” Xu Mo stared at the group opposite him, and immediately many eyes turned to look at Locke. With a grim expression, Locke stepped forward and gazed at Xu Mo, feeling that the person in front of him seemed more like an interstellar thief, ready to kill at the slightest provocation.

“Explain everything yourself.” Xu Mo looked at Locke and said, “If there is anything wrong with your answer, others can correct it, and whoever corrects it will be allowed to leave.”

Locke stared at Xu Mo, such a cunning fellow. If he said one wrong word, he’d likely be sold out by his own people.

“I am Locke, the captain of the cruiser from the Black God Fleet, ordered to investigate the situation of Byron Star. The Black God Fleet is now teaming up with several major planets to form an Alliance Army to attack Byron Star. The purpose is to target the Blue Star Energy Technology Group. The Black God Fleet received news that the group possesses a vast amount of wealth and technology.” Locke confessed honestly.

“Which planets?” Xu Mo asked.

“I only know Camp Star is involved; I’m unclear about the other planets. They dare not reveal themselves and plan to infiltrate the Black God Fleet to launch the attack under their name.” Locke responded.

Hearing Locke’s words, Xu Mo immediately understood.

It seems that the last time when Lauren led a fleet to attack, Camp Star and their allies were also behind it.

This time they’re even more ruthless, preparing to form an Alliance Army and loot under the guise of interstellar thieves. The Star System Alliance can’t intervene, and they are busy with the defense against Mandala Planet, having no time to manage the events here.

Therefore, Camp Star and several other major planets plan to secretly ally with the Black God Fleet and eliminate their Byron Star first.

They want to fish in troubled waters and also take revenge for the previous feud, as Xu Mo and his team had previously consumed Byron Star’s fleet.

“How many warships is the Alliance Army preparing to deploy?” Xu Mo continued to ask.

“The Black God Fleet consists of six warships, and Camp Star’s Alliance Army also has six.” Locke said. A total of twelve warships form a Super Fleet to attack Byron Star. If their detectors hadn’t detected Locke’s warship, Byron Star would have been doomed.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo felt a sense of dread, realizing the interstellar era is indeed full of dangers. He had considered many things before, but he hadn’t anticipated Camp Star would unite with interstellar thieves to annihilate them.

On the surface, it’s impossible for Camp Star to face off against Byron Star.

If Camp Star and the four major planets secretly dispatch six warships, it’s not a problem.

The Black God Fleet is a top interstellar thief group in this universe, so having six warships is not surprising; in fact, they have more than six.

Behind Xu Mo, Qiu Yuan, Ye Huan, and others showed cold, murderous intent in their eyes, slightly worried.

Byron Star was indeed too backward before, unable to even launch advanced detectors. Fortunately, they launched a detector in time; otherwise, this would have been truly perilous. These crises lurk in the darkness, unseen.

Xu Mo pondered for a moment, then spoke, “Everyone, take off your armor equipment.”

Locke and his team cooperated, removing their equipment. Locke said, “I’m just following orders; whatever you need, I can cooperate.”

“I will invade your spiritual power. Do not resist.” Xu Mo said to Locke. As he finished speaking, his spiritual power directly intruded. Locke’s spiritual power was strong and reflexively tried to resist, but due to the current situation, he had to let Xu Mo’s spiritual power invade.

“Where is the fleet Alliance Army now?” Xu Mo asked.

“On the way, the specific position is unclear; we can find the location by restoring the cruiser’s signal.” Locke replied.

“What is your main task?” Xu Mo continued to ask.

“The cruiser is equipped with an advanced detector that is very sensitive to energy devices. My task is to detect Byron Star’s warship movements and understand the anti-air weapons status, then report back to facilitate a precise strike by the fleet Alliance Army.” Locke said.

“How can I get you to cooperate against the Black God Fleet?” Xu Mo pressed further. A thought flashed in Locke’s mind, and Xu Mo’s gaze immediately shifted to a young man in the crowd behind Locke.

“You, come out.” Xu Mo looked at the young man and said.

Jeff stepped out, somewhat puzzled, and looked at Xu Mo, saying, “Sir.”

“Your position.” Xu Mo invaded Jeff’s mind with spiritual power; Jeff’s strength was far inferior to Locke’s and was instantly invaded.

“Cruiser weapon operator.” Jeff responded.

“Take him away.” Xu Mo said to the people behind him. Someone stepped forward and took Jeff away. Jeff didn’t understand, saying, “Sir, I’m just a regular fleet member, Captain Locke knows far more than I do.”

Locke’s mouth twitched as he watched Jeff being taken away.

Jeff was his illegitimate son, though Jeff himself didn’t know it.

The Black God Fleet is a filthy place filled with interests, and Locke didn’t want anyone to know his weakness, but to his surprise, Xu Mo could peek into his memories.

“Captain Locke, I am currently in great need of talent, and I would be delighted to have someone like Captain Locke join us. Are you interested?” Xu Mo said with a smile.

Of course, Locke wouldn’t believe Xu Mo’s nonsense; he knew Xu Mo wanted to use him.

“Willing to serve you.” Locke placed a hand on his chest and said.

Seeing Locke’s gesture, Xu Mo knew the other party understood. It’s simple to talk with smart people.

“Select a group of people you trust and return to the battleship’s command room, restore communication with the Divine Sword Team. After the matter is done, everything can be discussed. I have no grudge against Mr. Locke, as long as Mr. Locke can give me a helping hand, everyone here can join us and no longer needs to be interstellar thieves,” Xu Mo said, making promises to the interstellar thieves.

Whether they believe it or not doesn’t matter; as long as they see a ray of hope, they’ll try to grasp it.

Xu Mo invaded Locke’s mind and saw Locke’s thoughts; for an interstellar thief, they only see interests.

After communication, Xu Mo and Locke returned to the cruiser’s command room with their people, though Locke and his team all had guns pointed at their heads.

“Relax a bit, if you slip up, don’t blame me for being rude.” Xu Mo said, at once, the group restarted the battleship, and the signal was sent out, quickly establishing contact with Lauren.

“Captain Locke, what’s going on?” Lauren’s voice came through from the other side; he thought something had happened to Locke.

“Mr. Lauren, we have already passed Byron Star’s detector and entered Byron Star, we’ve even landed. The detectors they launched aren’t outdated, equipped with a shield field, and the detection effect shouldn’t be weak.” Locke replied.

“Hmm.” Lauren nodded, “Can you find out the situation over there?”

“I can, give me some time, I need to cut off the signal for a while to avoid being captured.” Locke responded.

“Okay.” Lauren nodded.

After cutting off the signal, Locke looked back at Xu Mo. Xu Mo didn’t fully trust him, so his powerful spiritual power intruded directly to see if Locke deliberately exposed any flaws.

“Sir, my life is in your hands; I wouldn’t dare to trick you.” Locke said.

“Good.” Xu Mo nodded, “Let’s go, we need to provide some real information to Lauren, otherwise he might become suspicious.”

“Hmm.” Locke nodded. The cruiser started, flying towards the sky of Byron Star. At the same time, the seven warships of Byron Star also fully prepared for battle.

This time, with the Black God Fleet and Camp Star forming a twelve-warship Alliance Army, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Swallowing opponents in one bite is challenging; they must be defeated piecemeal.

The Black God Fleet and Camp Star’s warships set off from different locations and hadn’t yet converged, providing them with an opportunity to defeat one side first.

On the warship, Qiu Yuan and others wore solemn expressions, not expecting Byron Star to face another crisis and war so soon!
