The Seventh Base

Chapter 892: Chapter 182: Queen Elizabeth

“Where are the Royal Guards?” King Richard shouted angrily. People began to enter one after another, quickly lining up on both sides and surrounding the area.

The crowd frowned as they saw King Richard’s ferocious expression, his eyes fixed on the figures in front of him. These bastards were staging a palace coup, not just trying to make him abdicate but to force him to his death.

“Duncan, arrest them all,” King Richard ordered coldly. Duncan was the leader of the Royal Knights and the Guard Commander.

However, Duncan did not move.

King Richard frowned and said, “Duncan, what do you mean? Don’t forget your identity.”

“Your Majesty.” Duncan bowed to King Richard and said, “Mr. Linde is on his way.”

Upon hearing his words, King Richard’s face suddenly turned livid, while the surrounding ministers remained unchanged, without the slightest reaction. King Richard was confused; such a big event had occurred, a mistake of this magnitude, how could no one be responsible?

These incidents, coupled with this war, led to the depletion of the Lucas Star Fleet, along with the series of repercussions to follow, could very well lead to the decline of Lucas Star. Such severe consequences, who would bear the responsibility?

Of course, it was King Richard. His desire for absolute power was clearly a delusion. In no aspect would he be spared, including by his own family. Someone had to pay the price and bear the wrath of Xu Mo.

Therefore, King Richard’s fate was actually sealed. If he won, all would be forgiven; if he lost, he would undoubtedly be the scapegoat, shouldering all the blame.

Watching King Richard’s changing expression, everyone fell silent.

After waiting for a while, a group of people arrived. The leader was an elder, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies, with short, half-white hair, yet still exuding an air of authority.

This elder was none other than Linde, the former king of Lucas Star and King Richard’s uncle, effectively the regent. It was he who had handed over power to King Richard.

Besides Linde, the elders around him were also significant figures, elder statesmen of Lucas Star, whose mere presence could make Lucas Star tremble.

“Uncle,” King Richard called out, and the others also bowed in respect.

“Richard, the Elder Council has decided that from this moment, you are no longer the King of Lucas Star.” Linde announced. As he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence all around, even though the outcome was expected, no one anticipated such swift and severe action, directly deposing King Richard.

King Richard’s face turned extremely pale. Being deposed, what would his fate be?

King Richard felt a bit unwilling; when he was doing all of this before, no one intervened.

Now, they wanted him to take responsibility?

At this moment, someone entered and said, “The warship from Byron Star has already reached the outskirts of Lucas Star, the Star Shield has been activated.”

The surrounding people wore extraordinary expressions upon hearing this. Did it arrive so quickly?

It seemed that the speed of the warship was equally terrifying, far faster than their previous warships from Lucas Star.

“Connect.” Linde ordered, then turned to walk outside.

Meanwhile, in the outer space of Lucas Star, the Chiyou had arrived.

Around Lucas Star, the Star Shield was arrayed into lines of defense, like a chain encircling Lucas Star. The Star Shield was not only a defense system but also an attack system.

At this moment, a signal was received, as Xu Mo stood in the command room of the Chiyou and connected directly.

“This is Linde of Lucas Star. Mr. Xu Mo, Lucas Star apologizes for the erroneous war that occurred earlier and has already removed Richard from power. Lucas Star is willing to restart negotiations with Byron Star.” Linde spoke to the young visage on the screen.

Inside the Chiyou, the Zhi Zi system said to Xu Mo, “Weapons have locked on; the Star Shield possesses a large number of weapons capable of autonomous attack.”

“Can it be destroyed?” Xu Mo asked.

“Yes,” the Zhi Zi system replied.

“Good,” Xu Mo nodded, “Open fire.”

“Yes,” Zhi Zi’s voice fell, unleashing a terrifying energy wave from the Chiyou Battleship. In the next moment, a barrage of attacks erupted from the Chiyou, shooting towards the Star Shield system.

The Star Shield system simultaneously fired, beams of light shooting towards the Chiyou. Yet, the shockwaves unleashed by the Chiyou swept through, obliterating everything in their path, causing the outer Star Shield of Lucas Star to explode like fireworks, engulfing everything and destroying the Star Shield system.

“Go in,” Xu Mo commanded, and the Chiyou immediately accelerated, piercing through the damaged Star Shield, forcibly entering Byron Star’s interior.

Linde’s face turned pale as he fixed his gaze on Xu Mo, who only now raised his eyes to glance at him, eyes cold and piercing.

“Who negotiates with you!”

Negotiate?

Did Lucas Star still have the qualification to negotiate?

Linde’s face turned pale upon seeing that cold countenance; as the former king of Lucas Star, he possessed inherent dignity and authority, but he seemed to misunderstand the current situation, thinking that sacrificing King Richard gave them the right to negotiate.

The Federation ministers all turned pale, panic rising within. Such a formidable warship, if it were to bombard the capital of Lucas Star… the consequences would be unimaginable.

A moment later, above the capital of Lucas Star, a massive warship hovered, countless individuals looking up at the approaching vessel, their hearts deeply impacted.

The citizens stood below, feeling the terrifying oppressive power of the warship.

Retribution had arrived.

“Hand over Richard, Hades, and Charlie,” Xu Mo coldly demanded aboard the Chiyou Battleship.

Dismissed?

In this war, King Richard caused the deaths of many. Is dismissal and abdication the only consequence?

Linde looked at Xu Mo’s face, his own expression grim, yet he nodded, “Take down Richard, Hades, and Charlie, and send them out.”

Just as Xu Mo said, they didn’t even have the qualification to negotiate now. With the Chiyou Battleship’s attack power, they could easily raze the Lucas Star Capital to the ground.

Soon, a group of people escorted King Richard, Charlie, and Hades out of the Federation Government Building and headed outward.

Outside the Federation Government Building, many citizens looked at King Richard with disdain in their eyes. It was his wrong decisions that led to all this.

The Chiyou Battleship pressed down, directly looming over the Federation Government Building, a scene reminiscent of the time when Mandala Star’s flagship arrived, but with even greater pressure.

A fully armed group emerged from the Chiyou Battleship and descended below.

“I am the King of Lucas Star, release me,” King Richard roared, Charlie behind him pale-faced, his body trembling slightly.

“Elizabeth,” Charlie turned his head, seemingly searching for something, and soon, he saw Elizabeth in the distance and shouted loudly, “Elizabeth, save me.”

Xu Mo would kill him.

Elizabeth saw Charlie’s pleading eyes and felt increasingly disgusted. Previously, he was not like this. As for Charlie, she no longer felt any sibling bond.

Soon, the group arrived below, led by Xu Mo.

He glanced at King Richard and Prince Hades, then said, “Take them to Byron Star for trial.”

The group escorted King Richard and Hades away, and it seemed that King Richard thought of Elizabeth, turning to her and calling out, “Elizabeth.”

What fate awaits being taken to Byron Star for trial?

Elizabeth bowed her head, silent.

“Xu Mo, this has nothing to do with me, it’s my father’s decision,” Charlie said to Xu Mo, directly selling out his father, King Richard.

Behind Xu Mo, someone raised a gun and aimed it at Charlie’s head, causing Charlie’s face to change dramatically.

“Bang…”

A flash of light passed through Charlie’s head; he didn’t even have the chance to be tried, killed on the spot.

Charlie fell into a pool of blood, and the ministers of Lucas Star shuddered internally. How many would Xu Mo hold accountable?

Xu Mo continued forward, walking towards Elizabeth and asked, “Are you okay?”

He had previously heard the news that King Richard was marrying Elizabeth to Hades, and even now, Elizabeth was still in her gown.

“Yes,” Elizabeth nodded, her heart extremely complicated at the moment.

Xu Mo’s gaze turned to Linde, who stepped forward and said, “Mr. Xu Mo, the position of King of Lucas Star can be inherited by Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth’s age and experience obviously weren’t enough, but in these special circumstances, it’s the best choice to repair relations with Xu Mo by allowing Elizabeth to inherit the throne.

This way, Xu Mo won’t act too harshly.

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded, “Besides, Lucas Star must take responsibility for this war, all the main combatants to be tried, and Lucas Star’s military and research will be taken over by Byron Star.”

Resolving this war easily is clearly impossible; everything of Lucas Star will belong to Byron Star. Elizabeth will take on the role of king, to cooperate with Byron Star’s actions.

“Mr. Xu Mo, these terms are too harsh,” Linde stated.

“I’m not here to negotiate terms with you,” Xu Mo directly interrupted Linde, “Lucas Star waged war on Byron Star. If you prefer, Byron Star can do the same.”

From the moment Lucas Star was defeated, it lost its sovereignty.

Linde’s expression stiffened, unable to refute.

“Additionally, everything from Mandala Star will be sent to Byron Star,” Xu Mo continued, “Elizabeth, you can have Ize and Carter assist you, Ross can help too.”

“Okay,” Elizabeth nodded.

“You’ve worked hard,” Xu Mo said, then left with his people.

Moments later, the Chiyou Battleship activated, taking away Richard and Hades for trial.

The people of Lucas watched the warship leave the sky, their hearts filled with complexity. They all knew that from now on, Lucas Star would become a subsidiary of Byron Star.

Elizabeth looked up, watching the warship disappear.

The war was over, and the Star System Alliance would finally restore peace. She was willing to lead Lucas Star to restore its civilization while leaving military affairs to Xu Mo.

Behind Elizabeth, many people looked at her, feeling as if it were a dream.

Previously forced to marry Hades, Princess Elizabeth would now become Her Majesty, the Queen of Lucas Star.
