The Seventh Base

Chapter 783: Chapter 127: The New Era_2

The sword light swept past as Jiang Lan charged in, while others rushed towards different directions; Xu Mo continued to plunge downward from the high altitude, rushing towards the direction of the President’s Mansion.

Conrad watched the figure slashing towards him like a streak of flowing light. He did not flee, instead, he stared at it. Some people by his side attempted to rush into the sky, but they couldn’t hold back— with a flash of the blade light, they were on a path to death.

“Boom…”

A violent Energy Storm swept in, and Conrad closed his eyes. The next moment, he felt a chill at his neck, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a silhouette appear in front of him with a cold Energy Battle Blade pressed against his throat.

Countless people witnessed this scene, as if history were repeating itself.

Looking at the figure before him, Conrad’s eyes held no fear; he had already made peace with his decisions years ago. There was no turning back from the actions he had taken—failure meant death.

But he had succeeded, only things after his success hadn’t gone as he had envisioned. He certainly hadn’t expected this day to come so soon.

“May I see who you are?” Conrad asked calmly, looking at Xu Mo. Years ago, he had appeared and destroyed two warships of Lancelot Star. Conrad had thought about winning him over to his side. Unexpectedly today, his blade was at his own throat.

The Divine Sword Bureau didn’t have such a person, did they?

Xu Mo’s helmet automatically moved aside, revealing a face. When Conrad saw Xu Mo, he was momentarily stunned, obviously surprised. He had considered the possibility that it might be someone from the Divine Sword Bureau, but how could it be Xu Mo?

“Who was it back then?” asked Conrad, puzzled.

“It was also me,” answered Xu Mo.

Conrad was taken aback. He didn’t quite understand—how could there be two of him?

However, since Xu Mo said it was him, then it must be him.

Truly dreamlike.

He thought of the time he presented Xu Mo with the Purple Gold Medal. Back then, Xu Mo was just a genius, but now, he had created a Technology Empire and led this war, achieving what Byron Star hadn’t in hundreds of years.

“So it seems I have still made a contribution to Byron Star,” said Conrad with a smile. “In this way, Byron Star also follows the principle of destruction before recreation.”

“You will only be nailed to the pillar of historical disgrace and judged. Without you, Byron Star would still develop on the right track, and moreover, wouldn’t need to go through all this,” Xu Mo replied, intending to self-aggrandize?

Conrad was taken aback. He wanted to say something else, but he saw Xu Mo’s War Saber cut straight down. Blood began to flow from his throat, and Conrad froze, hands clutching his neck, looking at Xu Mo.

As the Federation President of Byron Star, without a trial, Xu Mo, just like that, killed him?

He stared intently at Xu Mo with eyes that felt increasingly that this young man was extremely unfamiliar, as if he was an incomprehensible enigma. He was a genius with exceptional talents, yet seemed like a cold-blooded devil.

Conrad even saw a disdainful coldness in Xu Mo’s eyes. In that gaze, he thought he could see another side of Xu Mo—who was as calm as still water after killing a Federation President. Evidently, to Xu Mo, such an act didn’t even cause a ripple in his heart. If one were to describe the Xu Mo he was seeing now, it resembled that of a cruel tyrant.

In his eyes, the Federation President was no different from ordinary people; if killed, then killed.

Such an event had never happened even on the infamous Day of Disgrace.

But Xu Mo did it.

Conrad fell, lying in a pool of blood, and this scene was recorded and shown on countless screens.

The people in Chuanxing City, Steel Dome City, and other major cities of the Federation watched the scene in front of them with great shock. Xu Mo, holding a War Saber, had slit the throat of President Conrad, executing him on the spot.

At this moment, Xu Mo’s upright figure stood in stark contrast to Conrad, who lay in a pool of blood. It was as if an era had come to an end, and the hero had slashed the traitor’s throat. The old era had passed, and Byron Star was about to embrace a brand-new epoch.

“Roar…” The entire city erupted in deafening roars of joy as countless people swarmed toward the President’s Mansion. Even with the traffic paralyzed, they ran, forgetting how far they were from the mansion.

In the President’s Mansion, after Xu Mo slit Conrad’s throat, everyone around was frightened, staring at Xu Mo with ghastly pale faces.

Xu Mo didn’t strike them down, but agents from the Divine Sword Bureau killed their way through. Like Xu Mo, they showed no mercy, exterminating these culprits who had led to disaster, drenching the ground with their blood.

Over the years, just in Chuanxing City alone, there had been numerous incidents of violent suppression leading to deaths, countless people falling under the cold-bloodedness of the illegitimate government. These traitors deserved death, none was innocent.

Explosions continued to ring out nearby. Xu Mo soared into the sky, and saw that the battle around was nearly over. The fight involving the warships was the same—the enemy’s two warships had been sunk, and they were contacting Qiu Yuan to surrender.

Qiu Yuan agreed, not because he wanted to spare them, but because they wanted the warships relatively intact to avoid difficult repairs.

The first destroyed warship had plummeted; its hull completely fractured, making repairs difficult, but these two had not yet been obliterated.

The warships landed at the military base, and the base’s warships followed suit, locking their weapons on the target. People began to emerge from the damaged warships, hands raised in surrender.

With the warships surrendered, other resistant forces naturally lost their resolve, ceaseing their fight.

In the sky, Xu Mo stood in front of a line of people, including those captured from Camp Star and others.

“Xu Mo,” a leading figure from Camp Star stationed on Byron Star said to Xu Mo, “We give up on Byron Star and will retreat from it, allowing our people to evacuate from Byron Star.”

“Give up and return?” Xu Mo regarded them with a strange expression. Was Byron Star theirs to give back?

“Since you’re here, don’t bother leaving,” Xu Mo said.

“Do you wish to engage in a head-on conflict with Camp Star?” The man continued, “Moreover, not just with Camp Star, but what could Blue Star Energy Technology Group use to resist when the four major planets join forces against it?”

“If you could have destroyed Blue Star Energy Technology Group, you would have done so long ago. Could you have waited until today?” Xu Mo stepped forward and coldly spoke, without listening to the man’s nonsense, and swung his blade directly, blood splattering—execute.

It was absurd that they were still trying to threaten him.

“Team Leader Ge, have someone take control of Byron Star Federation Army. For those in the Federation Army who have not committed atrocities, let bygones be bygones. But those who have committed crimes, bring them to trial. As for the aliens, carry out trials where needed, and executions where warranted. Don’t let a single one escape,” Xu Mo instructed Ge Hong, the head of the Divine Sword Bureau.

“Understood,” Ge Hong nodded. After taking down the Byron Star government, there were many important things to take care of next.

“Who should take over the President’s Mansion?” Fu Yuan asked from the side. Having secured the Federation, they needed to quickly establish a new government to stabilize the situation.

“Mr. Liu Feng,” Xu Mo said, prompting nods of agreement from those around. Mayor Liu Feng of Chuanxing City was an excellent choice.

Mayor Liu Feng was a controversial figure; the public had mixed opinions about him, with many opposing him and calling for his resignation through multiple protests. But in Xu Mo’s eyes, Liu Feng had endured humiliation and burdens, and all he did was truly for the sake of Byron Star. His favorable policies towards aliens were to leverage alien power to develop Byron Star.

As it turned out, Mayor Liu Feng was right. After the outbreak of war, Byron Star entered an even darker era; without military might, it was no easy task to obtain power out of thin air.

However, Mayor Liu Feng wouldn’t need to be so constrained anymore, nor would he need to bow to aliens.

“I’ll contact Liu Feng,” said Ge Hong, and everyone from the Divine Sword Bureau looked around, filled with boundless emotion.

Byron Star was about to welcome a new era!
