Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1838 - 566: Ancient Legendary Level Star Destroyer · True Grey Angel_4

The forces of Sky Dome City face continuous retreat, the entire battlefield teetering on the edge of collapse.

Suddenly, a notification flashes across the virtual screen in the eyes of the Dark Star Emperor, Roglian, signaling a communication request.

With a mental command, the Dark Star Emperor accepts, and Roglian's virtual image materializes.

"Roglian, what is it?" the Dark Star Emperor's deep voice resonates.

"Emperor, a grave situation has befallen the Dark Star Empire!" Roglian reports urgently.

The Emperor, slightly irritated, inquires, "What has happened?"

"The Holy Army seized our absence to assault the major production centers and Mining Stars of the Dark Star Empire. The planet lords there were overwhelmed and fell one by one! Consequently, rebellions erupted across all regions, plunging the situation into complete chaos. Only Dark Star and a few surrounding production areas remain holding out; all others have been lost."

"Impossible! How could the Holy Army possess such capabilities?" the Dark Star Emperor exclaims, his voice laced with fury.

"The elder from the Land of Lost intervened!" Roglian Chief explains.

Upon hearing this, the Dark Star Emperor erupts like a cornered beast, thundering, "A bunch of incompetent fools! That idiot Fergus has truly messed things up."

"Calm yourself, Emperor," Roglian hastily interjects, attempting to placate him.

"I feared meeting the fate of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country and deliberately kept a contingency, yet we ended up following their path and being cut off! It seems I underestimated that woman, Long Bai; she truly embodies the ruthless style of Long Xian from the past!" the Dark Star Emperor states, taking a deep breath to forcefully suppress his rage.

"Emperor, what are our next steps? Should we retreat to reinforce?"

"No! If we withdraw now, even if we reclaim the Dark Star Empire, we will be critically weakened! Once the Federation recovers, our doom will be sealed!"

"But our supply lines have been severed."

"I am aware. Our only recourse now is to tread a darker path and annihilate the Federation first! Inform Commander Mosakaye; order the First Legion to deploy in full strength and press the attack!" the Dark Star Emperor commands with chilling resolve.

"Understood!" Mogolian immediately affirms.

Meanwhile, aboard the Star Destroyer 'Evil Fang,' Deputy Corps Commander Geteri hurries towards a colossal metal door. He places his hand upon it, and with a resounding 'crack,' the immense door slides open, releasing a blast of icy air.

Deputy Corps Commander Geteri steps inside, entering a vast hibernation chamber filled with countless tubes descending from the ceiling, connecting to rows upon rows of hibernation pods. Within each pod slumbers a formidable, fierce-looking individual, all elite soldiers of the First Legion, each at the Captain Level.

At the very front stands a solitary black pod, housing a naked, powerfully built man with a chiseled physique, a determined expression, and an aura of dangerous ferocity.

Deputy Corps Commander Geteri approaches the black pod and presses the awakening button. Instantly, dark liquid surges through the tubes, visibly revitalizing the man's body. Then, a pair of crimson eyes snap open.

Deputy Corps Commander Geteri instinctively flinches, taking a step back.

The pod opens, and the man rises unsteadily. Deputy Corps Commander Geteri nervously greets him, "Commander Mosakaye!"

"Geteri!" Mosakaye's voice is chilling as he gazes at him.

"Lord Mosakaye, the Emperor has ordered you to lead the First Legion into battle!" Deputy Corps Commander Geteri quickly relays.

"I know!" Mosakaye flashes a grim smile, then turns to survey the rows of hibernation pods. Raising both hands, he exclaims, "Awaken, my brave soldiers!"

With a whoosh, all the hibernation pods activate simultaneously, their tubes filling with black liquid. A multitude of bloodthirsty eyes open, and soldier after soldier emerges from their pods.

Commander Mosakaye looks upon his assembled troops, a predatory grin spreading across his face. "Brothers, the time for slaughter has arrived!"

...----------------------------------------Federation Government·Dawn Hall.

At this very moment, within the Dawn Hall, individuals are excitedly discussing the images from the Nether Moon Star Defense Line. "Who would have imagined that the Nether Moon Star Defense Line, initially considered the least likely to succeed, would be the first to repel the enemy!"

"Indeed!"

"It's truly incredible!"

"Rain Capital has performed exceptionally well this time!"

"It's not entirely thanks to Rain Capital, you know. The survival of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line isn't solely their accomplishment. The Federation brought in the Dragon Pattern Army and the Dark Army, two powerful factions of the Dragon Family, along with the Second Legion. The Dragon Pattern Army fought on the central front, the Second Legion secured the fifth defense sector, and they even managed to disrupt the forces from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country's Abyss of Descent."

"That does make sense."

...

Meanwhile, Zhao An, the head of the Propaganda Department, enthusiastically directs his nearby subordinates.

"Quickly, gather all the reporters to cover the situation at Nether Moon Star! We must publicize this as much as possible – the more sensational, the better!"

"Is that appropriate?"

"What do you not understand? We need to boost morale right now, see? In the later stages of war, morale is what sustains you; it's something that absolutely cannot falter!"

"Understood."

The subordinates present promptly depart to make the necessary arrangements.

Just at that moment, a communication feed abruptly interrupts, and an Order Officer reports with urgency.

"Emergency battle report: The Black Flame Star Defense Line has been breached! Lord Mo Xiu is gravely wounded. Enemy forces have landed on Black Flame Star, and internal defensive combat is now in progress!"
