CHAPTER 1503: CHAPTER 23: THE INCINERATED FOREST METROPOLIS (PART 3)

"That means we have five days left." A general spoke in a low voice inside the large command hall of the Battleship.

"Yes, based on the responses we’ve published to each Star Region of the Federation, we must reopen the Central Star Domain’s network within five days, that is, before April 25th, and allow other Star Regions to send delegations for oversight and investigation."

"These guys..." Faced with such a humiliating scene, several high-ranking military officers at the site were filled with rage, but to no avail. If not for the crushing defeat seven years ago, which led to the fall of the Central Council’s authority, such a dire situation would not exist today.

"Speaking in anger doesn’t help. Our primary objective right now is to capture the ’Bai Mei Vertical Harp’ Evelyn. Only when she falls under our control will we truly hold the Central Star Region. Otherwise, if she escapes, with the backing of other Star Regions, all our previous efforts will be immediately nullified." A stern-faced politician stepped forward from a corner of the hall, emphasizing the importance of this mission.

"However, this is ultimately the ’Twin Trees Star Domain,’ once the homeland of Lord Isenisha and also the station for the Fourth Fleet. Even if we want to take action with all our might, many considerations must be taken into account." Looking at the green and beautiful planet outside the Starship, the members present felt immense psychological pressure.

Although the ’Golden Flame Flower’ Isenisha has been deceased for nearly a thousand years, she left too many imprints on the Federation, and the historical aura that shrouded her is too sacred. Even if their faction openly opposes and attacks the Elves, they dare not extend their offensive to this Songstress. Instead, they must strive to separate the historical status of this Songstress from the Elves, avoiding any involvement.

Originally, Evelyn should have been on the ’Cuiyu Crown’ residential planet, where they would have the best chance of success in launching an attack. However, the Elf Faction concealed a special Starship within ’Cuiyu Crown’ and allowed Evelyn to be transported back to the residential planet of the ’Twin Trees Star Domain.’ This enormous blunder almost caused the entire operation to fail, with the only consolation being that Evelyn had not yet advanced to the Sunshine-level Songstress stage.

’If she had already reached the Sunshine-level Songstress stage, she could easily rally under the support of the united Elven races to ascend to the Solar Crowns. At that point, we would have no choice but to admit defeat and surrender.’

"But until now, we still haven’t seen any sign of the Solar Crowns appearing. This is partly due to our preemptive isolation of the network, and partly because the other side isn’t fit for the great task at hand, being unable to break through in such a situation. Our supported Lady Prin Coco is the rightful destiny."

After passing through the first ten sleepless nights, they gradually regained composure. There were no more paths of retreat, so they could only persist to the end.

"Is the landing operation team ready?"

"The first batch is ready. Considering we can’t use Starships to directly bombard, we have gathered enough personnel for a planetary surface operation. The first batch consists of 203,728 people, the second batch about 500,000 combat troops, and the third batch 800,000 members thereafter."

"Heh, the third batch will probably arrive on the fourth day, and by then it’ll be too late." A military officer sneered, but his expression remained tense, only showing oppression.

He took a deep breath, "Let’s do it, give it our all, and absolutely capture Evelyn."

"Yes!" The personnel on site began to take action, with various reports ringing out in succession.

"Landing crafts 1-45 are in position, landing crafts 46-90 will enter orbit in 20 minutes..."

"The blockade markers have been set up and are operational, disrupting the trans-spatial routes within and outside the planet."

"The Throne System is in place, and Lady Prin Coco will initiate it in 4 Stellar Time units. At that moment, she will attempt to raise the Crown for the first time, and ascertain Evelyn’s exact location."

"Now, everyone mobilize to your combat positions, begin the operation!"
