Chapter 417 Strikes hard
For the Star Alliance Lords and Faction, what happened next was simply a nightmare.
They made deliberate plans to unite with alien forces in an attempt to eliminate Li Longcheng, the biggest thorn in their side. But what the Lord He faction didn''t expect was that not only did Li Longcheng not die, but he also captured several Batarians!
Then the public opinion exploded. Soon, news about alien forces trying to assassinate the next presidential candidate of the Star Alliance was broadcast all over the Star Alliance. Many experts analyzed it, and even some news The source directly said that the reason why the alien forces sent people to assassinate Li Yongcheng was because they were afraid that Li Yongcheng would be disadvantageous to them after he took power.
?And the peace faction might also be causing trouble in this!
In short, as soon as this news came out, the people were in an uproar, and Li Longcheng came forward directly and gave a speech to the people, saying that no matter how these alien forces acted, he would never succumb to the threat of the other party, even if it meant death. I can''t make him bow!
In the Star Alliance, the supporters of the main war faction and the peace faction were about 60% to 40%. However, after the news that Li Longcheng was assassinated by the Batarians spread, the number of supporters of the main war faction suddenly reached more than 80%. Not only Li Yongcheng''s main base, the Asian League, but even NATO has many people who support Li Yongcheng''s actions.
After all, alien forces sent people to assassinate their presidential candidate. This kind of news is basically intolerable to everyone. And thinking about it conversely, since Li Yongcheng is so awesome that alien forces have to send people to assassinate him, then it means that If this person becomes the president of the Star Alliance, he will definitely not sell out the interests of mankind for aliens!
After all, what could be more useful than the recognition of an enemy?
So in the subsequent elections, Li Longcheng was naturally elected as the first president of the Star Alliance. After he took office, he stated that he would not accept the mediation of the Citadel Council. At the same time, he also demanded that the Citadel Council must hand over The real murderer behind the assassin! Otherwise, humans will never let each other go!
Regarding Li Longcheng''s request, the Citadel Council also had a big headache. They did acquiesce in the assassination of Li Longcheng, but the Citadel Council also knew that this kind of thing was shady. The only good thing was that they did not leave anything behind. Evidence, so... the Citadel Council just said it would investigate, then turned around and threw the blame to the Batarians.
The Batarians were more stubborn than the Citadel Council. They directly stated that there was no assassination at all. It was these despicable and shameless humans who kidnapped their compatriots. Therefore, the Batarians directly sent a fleet to press the border and attacked another missile. Humanity''s colonial planet, then they issued an announcement demanding that the Star Alliance immediately and unconditionally hand over the kidnapped Batarian citizens, otherwise they would launch a full-scale war on humanity!
Li Longcheng naturally wouldn''t listen to the Batarian people''s nonsense. In fact, when the news about the Batarian people came, Li Longcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the prelude to this scene is completely prepared.
Next, it’s time for the main character to appear.
Today is not a good day for Admiral Kislev of the Starfleet Fleet.
??The reason is also very simple, because the new president of the Star Alliance, Li Longcheng, and the senior officials of the Chief Council are currently on this battleship. This also made Admiral Kislev very nervous. In fact, if anyone attacked this battleship, the entire Star Alliance''s top brass would be wiped out.
?This also made Kislev very dissatisfied. There were so many warships in the Star Alliance, why did he choose his own?
Is his luck so bad?
?At this time, Li Longcheng''s voice also came from behind Kislev.
“How is it, Captain? Have we reached our destination?”
“Of course, Your Excellency.”
??Kislev turned around quickly, raised his hand and saluted Li Longcheng.
“But I still don’t understand, what are we doing here?”
“You seem nervous?”
"Of course, Your Excellency, after all, the highest level of the entire Star Alliance is here. If something happens...at least I think a fleet should be mobilized, not just a battleship."
“Don’t be so nervous, my old friend.”
?Looking at Kislev''s appearance, Li Longcheng reached out with a smile and patted his shoulder.
“We are currently in the safest place, and no alien fleet will dare to come to us and cause trouble.”
"Of course, Your Excellency, but...what exactly are we here to do?"
Kislev couldn''t figure it out, while Li Longcheng shrugged his shoulders.
"You''ll find out soon... Well, it''s almost time."
"Why?"
Just when Kislev was stunned, suddenly, a rapid siren sounded in his ears. He turned his head and looked forward, and saw a scene that made Kislev unimaginable appear in front of him - - Just in front of his battleship, in the originally dark depths of the universe, a hole suddenly appeared, and a ripple-like wave appeared. Immediately afterwards, a magnificent and huge battleship appeared in front of them without any warning!
“This, this is...!?”
Looking at the huge battleship in front of him, Kislev''s face turned pale, and he was sweating coldly as he clenched his hands. Apart from anything else, the size of this battleship was beyond his expectation.
You must know that Kislev''s battleship is the Kilimanjaro-class dreadnought, the flagship of the Star Alliance''s First Fleet. This battleship is 1,000 meters long and is already one of the largest battleships in the Star Alliance. And now this battleship is even several times larger than his battleship. This is simply like the difference between an elephant and a kitten!
Not only that, unlike the cannon muzzle layout of the Star Alliance battleship, the weapon layout of this battleship is closer to the battleships in previous naval battles. The sides on both sides are densely covered with huge black turrets. Just looking at these black muzzles , which gave Kislev the urge to run away.
“Your Excellency, President!”
“Oh, don’t be nervous.”
Although he said this, even Li Longcheng looked tense at the moment. He did know that the Tribunal had its own fleet, but this was also the first time he had seen a warship from the Tribunal... If nothing else, This feeling of oppression is indeed quite strong.
“Report, we received a communication request from an unknown warship!”
?At this time, the operator also gave a report soon, and Kislev glanced at Li Longcheng, who also nodded, and then Kislev spoke.
“Open communication.”
Soon, the screen flashed, and the next moment, Duanmu Huai’s face appeared on the screen.
"ah--!"
“Whoaaah!”
At the same time as he saw this face, the soldiers in the command room also changed their faces in fear. Several people screamed and fell from their chairs to the ground. As for the senior Star Alliance officials behind Li Longcheng, they were also unbearable. Some people even rolled their eyes and closed their eyes and then breathed away, causing people to jump around.
Even Kislev subconsciously reached out and held down the weapon at his waist. But soon, he realized that his actions were too hasty, so Kislev also blushed and shouted with a straight face.
“Calm down! Calm down, everyone!”
Fortunately, this was just a communication image, so the soldiers quickly calmed down, while Duanmuhuai watched this scene with interest and chuckled.
“It seems that your soldiers are not very able to withstand pressure.”
“Or you are just as impressive, Mr. Inquisitor.”
?Li Longcheng and Duanmuhuai met once, and they adapted quickly.
“Your Excellency, who is this?”
?At this moment Kislev also realized that Li Longcheng came here in person probably just for this battleship and this man.
"This is Mr. Duanmuhuai. As for his identity... I will introduce you to you in detail later."
??He explained briefly, and then Li Longcheng looked at the screen again.
"Mr. Inquisitor, I think you already know the reaction of the Batarians."
“Of course, this group of aliens can only reach this level, which is not beyond my expectation.”
Duanmuhuai chuckled. "Fortunately, this is okay, at least this way, we can let them experience the power of humans."
?Listening to the questions and answers between the two, Kislev and the Star Alliance executives also realized that the two men met for the Batarian ultimatum. In fact, although Li Longcheng behaved very toughly, many people among the Star Alliance senior officials still believed that it was too reckless to start a war with the two alien races, Batarians and Turians at the same time. They also reminded Li Longcheng several times that this problem, but the other party has always been full of confidence... Now it seems that this is Li Longcheng''s trump card.
“I believe you will not let me down, Mr. Inquisitor.”
“Of course, okay, now please fasten your seat belts, put away your tables and chairs, we are about to set off...”
As Duanmuhuai spoke, Kislev discovered that his warship was actually sailing slowly in the direction of the opponent!
“Wait, what are you doing?”
“I’ll take you to see a good show, and you’ll know it when you get there.”
Facing Kislev''s inquiry, Duanmuhuai just smiled. The next moment, Kislev saw a crack in the universe in front of him as if it was torn open by invisible hands - and then in the blink of an eye, everything in front of him changed. It became chaotic, and the surrounding starlight gradually began to twist, deform, and lengthen into infinite lines of light. The entire battleship began to tremble violently, causing Kislev and his crew to raise their hands in front of themselves to resist the dazzling brilliance.
But just as they raised their hands, the shining white light suddenly disappeared, and then everything returned to normal. The only difference was that this time, a huge planet appeared out of thin air in front of them.
“This, this is...?”
?Looking at the planet, everyone was confused, and at this moment, Duanmu Huai''s voice came again.
“Oh, this is the home planet of the Batarians.”
“The home planet of the Batarians?! How is this possible!”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Kislev almost jumped up. The current Star Alliance is no longer the civilization trapped on a planet. Of course, they also understand how cruel the battle between the universe is. . In fact, even the Star Alliance''s home planet must be heavily surrounded to avoid attacks from the other side. Just like a heavily defended capital, other unknown fleets will not be allowed to approach!
?However, now, in just a few seconds, they have actually arrived at the Batarian home planet? !
?Although Kislev feels that this is simply nonsense, the information transmitted back from the battleship''s sensors can be seen that this is indeed the planet of the Batarians.
"I see!"
Thinking of this, Kislev felt suddenly enlightened. Obviously, if this is really the home planet of the Batarians, then their arrogant appearance without warning will definitely frighten the Batarians. In this way, they can take the initiative!
“Your Excellency, is this your plan?”
"this………"
Facing Kislev’s inquiry, Li Longcheng didn’t know what to say, but at this moment, Duanmu Huai’s voice sounded again.
“Of course not, this is just the beginning...The next step is our work...”
“What are you going to do?”
?From Duanmuhuai''s murderous tone, Kislev seemed to notice something, and his body suddenly trembled, while Duanmuhuai answered calmly.
"As far as the Tribunal is concerned, no alien dares to escape unharmed after provoking humans. Therefore, I want to give them an unforgettable lesson. Therefore, next, I will issue an extermination order in the name of the Tribunal. "
…………”
Hearing this word, everyone couldn''t help but tremble, and Kislev''s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Wait, you mean...”
“I will completely destroy this planet and make the Batarians lose their homeland forever as punishment for daring to provoke humans.”
“This, this is too much!”
At this moment, some Star Alliance senior officials couldn''t bear to listen and shouted hurriedly.
"We don''t need to do this at all, we just need to threaten them..."
“This is the practice of the Inquisition and the law of the universe.”
?Duanmuhuai interrupted him coldly.
"You remember, there is no room for weak-willed and hesitant people here. Only through firm actions and beliefs can humans survive. There is no sacrifice too big to be tolerated, and there is no betrayal too small to accept. Some people may say, I am not qualified to execute tens of billions of people...but those who understand the truth know better that I am not qualified to let them live. "
…………”
Duanmu Huai''s voice was not loud, but the unparalleled pressure and heaviness made everyone in the command room breathless. Even Li Longcheng clenched his fists and stared at the screen.
?However, Duanmu Huai has continued talking at this moment.
"Then... in the name of loyalty and honor to mankind, I declare in the name of the Inquisitor that an extermination order will be launched on the home planet of the Batarians, the planet Krogus. I hereby sign the death of the entire world. Proof, let billions of souls be forgotten... May the judgment bring balance."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai took out the seal and silently pressed it on the parchment.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a torpedo suddenly shot out from in front of the huge battleship beside them. It passed through the atmosphere quietly and then fell into the Batarian home planet.
Subsequently, a scene that no one can forget happened.
Where the torpedo fell, a circle of light formed by a huge flame burst out instantly. It spread rapidly, and in just a few seconds, it completely covered the entire planet.
A moment later, the planet that was green and full of life just now had turned into a complete death star.
…………”
No one spoke, everyone just stood here blankly, watching this scene, and some even felt like they couldn''t breathe.
The current Star Alliance does not have this kind of technology, and they cannot imagine how terrifying a powerful force that can easily wipe out all life on a planet is.
But now, they finally witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
?In less than five seconds, a planet was completely destroyed, and the billions of Batarians on it were also wiped out.
“This is a warning.”
Duanmuhuai''s voice sounded again.
"Those aliens must understand that everything they do will only become ashes under the wrath of the Inquisition."
