The thunderous roars of the ‘God of War’, even though it was the boxing champion’s super high-speed crystal processor, were still humming and calculating for a long time before they were completely digested and absorbed. They turned into mysterious ripples and darted toward the main flagship of the
fleet of the Heaven’s Return.

“Has the enemy received it?”

Lei Chenghu asked.

“Yes, General Hu is quite confident. Aren’t you scared that he will be angry?”

‘There was confusion in the boxing champion’s voice.

“If you want to be angry, be angry. Now, gather all the soldiers and charge at the general flagship of the fleet at the highest speed!”
Lei Chenghu shouted.

“What?”

The boxing champion was stunned. “You just said that you would give Song Bugui half a minute to consider.”

“That’s right. I’ve calculated that we are hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from each other. If we charge at full speed, half a minute should be enough for us to charge into the enemy’s formation. We are still far from reaching his nose. He can take his time to consider.”
Lei Chenghu said casually.

“But how are we going to charge?

The Fist King was even more confused. “As I said just now, our army is on the verge of running out of ammunition and food. Not only did we not have enough firepower to launch a saturation bombardment, even the spiritual shields of our warships have been lowered to the minimum. Many of our
warships will be blown up if the enemy touches them. Besides, all our Giant God Soldiers have been deployed and are chasing after the defeated army in the sea of stars. But Song Bugui has at least two or more Giant God Soldiers under his control.

“It’s still alright at such a long distance. But once I charge into the enemy’s formation and am counter-attacked by the enemy’s Giant God Soldiers, the consequences will be dire. Giant God Soldiers can be called ‘Starship Killer’. I don’t have absolute confidence that I can block more than two Giant God
Soldiers with my own army of clones.

“What you did was too risky and did not seem necessary. I could not figure out the rationality of the command.
“Reasonable?”

Lei Chenghu smiled and took two steps toward the glittering light beam, immersing his deep face in the flames of war and enjoying the nonexistent smoke. It was not until a while later that he said, “Punching King, let me give you a piece of advice. If you really want to get rid of the shackles of the crystal
processor as soon as possible and become a human being, you must change your habit of calculating everything rationally.

“Because… human beings are the most unreasonable beings in the sea of stars.
“Alright, carry out the command. Move toward Song Bugui’s flagship!”

In the chaotic battlefield, Lei Chenghu’s subordinates, who had just passed through the battle formation of the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, performed delicate tactical maneuvers at an angle that could tear apart a starship. They condensed into smaller, sharper cones and charged at the core of the
fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, which was now alone and helpless.

In order to maximize the damage, the spiritual shields of all the starships under Lei Chenghu’s command were extremely lackluster. The billions of turrets, on the other hand, were emitting billions of glittering death rays, as if countless gold swords and shining spears had been raised. Even if a planet was
blocking their way, their courage and determination would pierce through their hearts!

The distance between the two parties was five hundred thousand kilometers.

“Song Bugui has replied that he is willing to reduce the demand of the Giant God Soldiers from ten to five. General Hu?”

The distance between the two parties was four hundred thousand kilometers.

“Song Bugui has once again replied that any position is negotiable. It doesn’t matter whether he is the Director of Education of the Imperial Fleet or the President of the Imperial Military University, even if he is the Director of the Imperial Water Resources Research Institute!”
The distance between the two parties was 300,000 kilometers, 250,000 kilometers, and 200,000 kilometers. Lei Chenghu’s starship was moving faster and faster. It was almost melding with the light arrow.
“Song Bugui replied for the third time. He only wants three Giant God Soldiers, and not for himself. He has promised all the experts in every field. Please think twice, General Hu!”

The distance between the two parties was only a hundred thousand kilometers.

In such a close distance, Lei Chenghu could even see Song Bugui’s dumbfounded face through the 3D light beam.

Ninety thousand kilometers, eighty thousand kilometers, seventy thousand kilometers, sixty thousand kilometers, and finally fifty thousand kilometers!

Lei Chenghu raised his iron arm high, like the main gun of all the starships under his command that were surrounded by death rays!

“Song Bugui has finally replied that he is willing to surrender to General Hu unconditionally!”

The boxing champion found it hard to believe his own words. “He surrendered?”

“Of course.”

Lei Chenghu put down his arms. There was not the slightest surprise on his face, as if he had seen the outcome when he was chargin;
Such bluffing might work for other people, but it is useless for me.

“Now that he has betrayed his allies, he has no other choice. How could such a brutal Immortal Cultivator surrender to the Cultivators from afar in their own territory?

“Alright. Order the troops to correct their course. Do not collide with Song Bugui’s remaining troops. Then, hack into the tactical link of the fleet according to the data interface provided by Song Bugui.
“Right, tell the people of the federation the good news. I can see that many rookies on their side are already on the verge of death. They won’t be able to hold on any longer if we don’t give them some stimulant.

“We Immortal Cultivators know how to treat our guests, too. At least for now, we are allies, aren’t we?

The news of the unconditional surrender of the commander-in-chief of the fleet and the supreme coalition meeting swept across the entire battlefield like a heatwave.

Although the commander-in-chief’s unconditional surrender did not mean that every starship on the battlefield would surrender unconditionally, the victory of the federal army and the new imperial army had been established. The last elites of the four major families had been pushed into an abyss
beyond redemption.

It was only a matter of time before the battlefield was cleaned up.
“We… won?”

Ding Lingdang crawled out of the twelfth enemy starship that she had cut open. Looking at the information displayed on the operation menu of the Giant God Soldier and the flickering, chaotic stars in the distance, she found it hard to believe her eyes.
After the ecstasy, fatigue and pain drowned her like a tide. It was not until then that she realized that the veins and nerves all over her body were as hot as magma, and her brain and abdomen were empty, as if two black holes were hidden inside.

This was truly the most dangerous battle of her life. The consumption and damage were even higher than during the defense of the federation.

But it was also the most refreshing battle that she had ever fought—this was in the center of the sea of stars, where one rider was equal to a thousand!

Ina trance, Ding Lingdang felt that an ancient and mysterious force was surging out of her broken veins, nerves, and cells and filling the ‘blackhole’ inside her brain and her abdomen quickly, giving her the pleasure of being reborn and soaring into the sky.
“Is this… a new breakthrough?”

Ding Lingdang was dazed for a moment. She stepped on the debris of the enemy warship and burst into laughter, which was meant for herself and the soldiers of the federal army behind her who had experienced a qualitative change during the fierce battle, too!

“Unconditional surrender. The enemy commander-in-chief has declared his unconditional surrender. A lot of enemy warships have obeyed the command of the commander-in-chief. Only a few of them are still running away crazily. But right now, the main sailing route is full of debris of starships,
cosmic mines, and powerful electromagnetic interference. Those guys are too desperate to run away!

“Victory! We have won! We have truly defeated the insufferably arrogant imperial army in the center of the sea of stars!”
“Long live the federation! Long live the Speaker! Long live the Cultivators!”

Every starship of the Federation’s expedition army that was riddled with wounds and running out of food and ammunition burst into earthshaking cheers. Thousands of ordinary soldiers, such as Meng Xiaolang, had become more mature and resolute after only half a day of war. Their roars added
something that billions of stars could not erase.

On Prairie Fire, the flagship of the federal expedition army, and Alloy Virus, the flagship of the coalition fleet of the arsonists, Bai Kaixin and Boss Bai both collapsed in their commander seats. They took a long breath in relief, only to find that their backs were cold, as if they had been soaked in cold water.
As the chief of staff and the supreme commander, nobody knew better than them how tired and exhausted their fleet was.

It was truly a perilous battle!

Thankfully, they had the last laugh in the battle of wisdom and determination.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Inside the cockpit of Alloy Virus, Boss Bai took a big gulp of the fruit juice. He was grinning from ear to ear, while he mumbled to himself, “Not bad, brat. Not bad at all!”
“Counselor Zhao!”

Inside the cockpit of Prairie Fire, Bai Kaixin licked his dry lips and shouted for his most trusted deputy.

“Chief of staff, we’ve really won!”

Advisor Zhao was so excited that he almost lost control.

“L know, I know.”

Bai Kaixin smiled and nodded. “Right. Are there any drinks on board? For example, cold fruit juice? I’m suddenly… thirsty.”

On Lei Chenghu’s flagship.
Although everyone on their side was overjoyed, the God of War who was in charge of everything was still frowning. There was not the slightest smile on his face.

“Such a satisfying victory. Other than the consumption of ammunition and fuel, the losses of our army are not serious. A lot of starships might have been captured, but General Hu does not seem to be very happy.

‘The Fist King said, “What are you worried about? Are you planning a surprise attack?”

“No. Although the assault was dangerous, the dogs and chickens of the four major families of the Yellow Dragon Sector could not stop us after all.

Lei Chenghu paused for a moment and said, “What I’m worried about is the capital city, the people of the Star Glory Federation, and the main force that the Star Glory Federation has been hiding for more than twenty years!

“You know that the reason why the coalition army of the four families failed was because of the word ‘unification’. From the very beginning, they never had any sense of unity, nor did they have a spirit of fearlessness. It was the biggest reason why the revolutionaries were able to defeat the strong as the
weak and counterattack the world.

“But the people of the Star Glory Federation… in a sense, they are more united and fearless than the revolutionaries!

“The tactics that worked for the four major families could not be applied to the members of the Star Glory Federation. In fact, it might even be the other way around. The members of the Star Glory Federation were rebelling against the newcomers just like the revolutionaries were rebelling against the four
major families.

“Both the cleaning of the battlefield, the maintenance of the fleet, and the assault on the Yellow Dragon Sector will all take time. I don’t know what the situation in the capital city is like. If His Majesty and the Empress Dowager insist on waiting for our main force to come back, more importantly, it is very
likely that they will decide the outcome of the battle.. Where is the ‘Black Wind King’ that we killed the other day?”
