Lannette began an assault as Su Ming and his allies retreated. On the left battlefield, Morigko fought Milk until Milk's body exploded and enveloped the Zero-degree Envoy in a tumor-like sphere that then froze. The Zero-degree Envoy escaped, but was attacked again by Milk, whose attacks damaged Morigko's energy barrier and Ice Crystal Blade. Meanwhile, Adimo attacked Angulat, who was saved by the defense line's weapons. Adimo retaliated, destroying many weapons and injuring Angulat. Xinlad and others attacked Adimo, but Xinlad's mech was heavily damaged. Adimo then attacked Mia and her allies, but was bombarded by missiles and beams from the defense line, revealing its seahorse-like face and enraging it. Adimo began to swell, threatening to unleash a devastating attack, but a dark red beam from a Dark Annihilation Apostle mecha pierced its body, causing it to deflate.

"Admiral Kabunofa has arrived?"

"Something seems off; that mecha is a bit different from the Dark Annihilation Apostle."

"Look at the emblem on the mecha’s chest; it’s from Imperial Court Academy."

"Whoa, it really is!"

"Then who’s controlling this mecha?"

"Could it be Principal Mirrog from Imperial Court Academy?"

"It certainly is him!"

...

The excited Federation officers exclaimed.

Mia gazed at the Dark Matter Mecha in front of her and coldly snorted, instantly recognizing who was at the helm.

At that moment, Mirrog maneuvered the mecha forward.

Angulat, Hayes, and Morigko immediately seized the opportunity to maneuver their mecha and withdrew to Mirrog’s side.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Hayes asked in utter surprise.

"Could I possibly not come?"

Mirrog casually tossed the Anti-Matter Mechanical Gun he held to Hayes and then drew out two pitch-black metal blades.

Meanwhile, Milk and Remwaco rushed to Adim’s side.

"Adim, are you alright?"

Milk asked with concern.

"I’m alright; I’m not dying just yet!"

Adim replied angrily.

Seeing Adim in reasonably good shape, Milk looked towards Mirrog with a smile and said,

"Mirrog, I didn’t expect you still to be alive."

"How could I die? I eat well, drink well, and sleep soundly, so naturally, I live long. But you guys, not staying in your own turf, what are you here for?"

Mirrog asked with a chuckle.

"You have no clue why we’re here? Hand over the Dimension Stones, and we’ll retreat immediately; otherwise, we’ll spill blood here in the Federation today!"

Remwaco threatened bluntly.

"Oh, such bravado! Come and get them if you dare; do you really think our Federation is soft?"

Mirrog ridiculed with a laugh.

"What’s the point of talking? Finish him!"

Adimo shouted angrily, preparing to charge forward desperately.

Milk, taken aback, quickly extended a hand to stop Adimo, advising him.

"Don’t act rashly; this old guy is the teacher of the Dragon String Council President."

"So what!"

Adimo stubbornly remained fearless.

"Forget it; let’s retreat!"

Milk quickly advised Adimo.

Though their earlier three-on-three engagement was advantageous, they fought hard, suffering various degrees of injuries. Facing Mirrog would be difficult; after all, the term ’teacher’ wasn’t called casually.

"Got it."

Adimo, albeit reluctantly and angrily, heeded Milk’s advice.

Milk then issued the command to all the Chilami.

"Retreat!"

The Chilami scattered across the starry sky promptly began their withdrawal.

Mirrog and his team watched them retreat but didn’t rush in for interception.

.....

Inside the Legendary Level Star Destroyer Guang Xiao Central Control Room.

Fanluo God Emperor sat on the command chair with a face as dark as water.

This attack not only failed to breach the 5th defense zone but also cost them Captain Ayas.

It wasn’t due to a command error by Fanluo God Emperor—it was pure bad luck; who could have expected that guy would rush back at the crucial moment?

At this point, Edrigge Vice Patriarch quietly spoke up.

"Lord God Emperor, Mirrog has arrived."

"I know."

Fanluo God Emperor replied with a frown.

"What should we do now? The Chilami Clan has already started retreating; should we have Lannette and the others withdraw too?"

"Let them retreat!"

Fanluo God Emperor said with a sullen face.

"Yes!"

Edrigge Vice Patriarch responded promptly.

Then Bulotto Archbishop, full of concern, asked.

"Lord God Emperor, what should we do next? With this retreat by the Chilami, they likely won’t resurface anytime soon."

"Regroup; let the Federation bask in their temporary triumph. Their demise is imminent."

Fanluo God Emperor’s expression squirmed briefly before he spoke.

"Understood."

Bulotto Archbishop replied promptly.

...

In the starry sky.

Receiving the withdrawal order, Lannette, though unwilling, saw the Chilami forces retreating too. If they didn’t retreat, they’d soon become isolated and inevitably wiped out. Gritting his teeth, he issued the command.

"Everyone, retreat!"

The soldiers of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, hearing the command, withdrew with low morale.

Witnessing this, the Federation soldiers exploded with excitement and cheers.

"These scumbags can’t handle it; they’re fleeing!"

"Brothers, attack!"

...

Inside the Nether Moon Star Defense Line Command Room.

Gwen excitedly reported to Long Chen and others.

"Gentlemen, the enemy has begun their retreat."

"Wonderful! Immediately instruct all units not to pursue; proceed with rescue operations!"

Long Chen issued the command promptly.

"Also, inform them below to replenish the reserve weapons and repair the damaged defense line."

Commander Soraya promptly supplemented.

"Understood!" Gwen’s immediate affirmation echoed. The soldiers, poised for pursuit, were compelled to cease their advance upon receiving the command, their gazes fixed on the receding forces of the Chilami Clan and the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. ... Within the VI-type Fortress Level·Kaggsamo, Vice Clan Leader Komih stood resolutely in the core of a pulsating, organic chamber, his eyes emanating a chilling coldness. Ekat Elder, a VI-type Heroic Level Chilami, addressed Komih in a gruff tone. The Elder's form was grotesque, resembling a centipede with a humanoid visage, armed with menacing claws and six pairs of dark crimson, fleshy wings adorned with unsettling, contorted patterns. "Mirrog, that old man has intervened," Ekat Elder declared. "Hmph, I didn't anticipate that old fellow would be present," Komih responded with a frigid remark. "What course of action shall we take now?"
