Chapter 1371: A Test

No inspiration and mobilisation was necessary. The Arbiter fleet, which had been holding back for a long time, had their emotions stirred up. The space warriors, led by Mars, were fixated with a planetary battleship. Every destruction of such battleships counted. This was indeed a domineering space carrier. But it was useless against super space fighters. And the guards on the battleship were not his match because he was Mars!

Violent blasts and shots flashed continuously, lighting up space. It also sent shocks to the entire world.

News of Arbiter inflicting serious damage to Aslan’s core fleet spread throughout the entire Milky Way Alliance instantly. The Aslan Empire was utterly defeated while in an absolutely advantageous situation!

According to the reports, only one-tenth of the core fleet managed to escape. This was extremely rare in the modern history of space battles. The key was that in a disadvantageous situation, Arbiter only lost barely one-tenth of its core fleet. This shocked the entire Milky Way Alliance and countless war tactical analysts instantly.

The battle of Rose Haier had been recorded in history books. The name “Ren Yixuan” had been recorded in the history books, so had Lin Feng’s name. However, he would forever be associated with the disgrace of defeat. This was the most humiliating loss of the past five decades.

However, from this moment on, the name Ren Yixuan resounded throughout the Milky Way Alliance. No one would ever look down on this lame person. No tactical analyst would dare to call him an immature lad who was only an armchair strategist. Even the best of the tactical analysts could not have fought a more beautiful battle.

The Thorn of Brahma had shocked the Milky Way Alliance!

News of the victory reached Arbiter. All the generals and ordinary citizens from the planets were burning with righteous indignation and waiting eagerly. If Aslan dared to make an air strike, they would make sure that there was no return for the coalition, even if they had to fight to the last man.

The entire world was discussing this amazing turn of events. Just when everyone thought that Arbiter would be exterminated, a man named Ren Yixuan had presented the opponent a fatal strike. Although the war was still ongoing, the nature of the war had changed.

Arbiter did not depend on luck. The coalition could not stop this new battle tactic.

The news had spread to Tita Star. Elder Mu Sen held an emergency meeting immediately and announced that Tita Star was in level one war readiness status.

The sudden change in the international scene meant that some ambitious countries were ready to make a move too. Sirius, Manalasuo, the Dark Empire to name a few. Unrest within the Milky Way Alliance was about to start.

However, while everyone was still recovering from the shock, the pride of Aslan, Prime Minister Kashawen, was assassinated while making a speech at the Milky Way Alliance’s Roland Garros. The assassins were a Heaven-rank master and five other top level Earth-rank masters. Two of them were from the Dark World. Even the protection team and personal bodyguards of Kashawen could not react in time. Even though Kashawen had been extra careful and had Heaven-rank masters around her, she made the mistake of placing them too far away from her. On the other hand, it was a completely suicide mission for the assassins. Although the Heaven-rank masters protecting Kashawen managed to strike and seriously injure the assassins, they were unable to stop the fatal strike.

The wheels of history had completely spun out of alignment.

Assassinations had always been the customary method since ancient times. Methods need not be new as long as they were effective. Kashawen had been too arrogant. Although Arbiter’s loss had been great, getting rid of Kashawen was still a bonus. The move by the Dark World was obviously to create more chaos. It was undoubtedly beneficial for the Dark World for the Milky Way Alliance to be in a warring state. Hence, they had sent out two Earth-rank warriors, and both were all top ten masters.

At the moment of her death, Kashawen was surprisingly calm. In fact, since the start of the war, she had expected that this would happen one day. This was a real war, and all unscrupulous means would be used.

Kashawen smiled ever so slightly during her last moment. No one knew what she was thinking.

The heavy defeats on the battlefields and the death of Kashawen from assassination, all of this had made matters worse for the Aslan Empire. However, the domino effect was only just beginning…

The Arbiter Republic made an official declaration through a third country. The leader, or more commonly known as the Great Elder, of the terrorist group, the Saint, was, in fact, the previous leader of the Aslan Empire, Constantine Aslan. These were all conspiracies of the Aslan Empire. He had everyone fooled with the Battle of the Oracle. The Aslan army and the Saint had worked hand in hand to destroy the coalition fleets. Arbiter had been framed. Arbiter could never stand such conspiracies and invasions. For the invaded Arbiter, they were not concerned about how the others perceived the truth. The entire Arbiter army would fight for the honor of Arbiter. They would destroy the Aslan Empire!

This was Arbiter’s style. They had revealed the truth to everyone, it was up to them to believe it or not. They would be attacking Aslan. Those who had helped Aslan would be the enemies of Arbiter. But if they withdrew in time, Arbiter would not want to become enemies with them. Their target was only the Aslan Empire!

In fact, prior to this, rumours had been spreading in many countries that the mastermind behind the Saint was the Aslan Empire. However, they were only concerned about comparative forces and interests. But now, Arbiter had actually turned the tides. Especially after all countries had witnessed the battle of Rose Haier, they came to the realization that before they could counter defend against the latest battle tactics of Arbiter, going against Arbiter would only be vain efforts.

All the countries began expressing their public opinions. Basically, there had been a change in attitudes. They had either remained neutral or they were still holding on to their doubts. But none were willing to take part in the war. This was now the fight for supremacy between the Aslan Empire and the Arbiter Republic.

The coalition that had been besieging Arbiter began to retreat. The first to retreat was Lya Sphinx. This was closely followed by the Maacah Republic and the other countries. However, they did not immediately burn their bridges. However, they questioned the justification of the war. Hence, they no longer wanted to be part of the war.

The fleets that had been besieging the Arbiter planet began to retreat successively. The remnant fleets of the Maya Empire had also chosen strategic retreats. It was obvious that their fleets had completely lost their combat effectiveness against Ren Yixuan’s incredible tactics. They had to minimize their losses and tried to preserve their strength. Besides, Kashawen was already dead. The international situation had changed drastically. Although Kashawen was but a single person, that iron lady had a very strong international influence. If it was someone else?

The current prime minister? He was useless and did not not have much influence, both internally within the country and internationally. The post of the prime minister was indeed not made for everyone.

In comparison, Arbiter was riding high. Some countries were now considering joining Arbiter to attack Aslan. However, everyone was still a little hesitant.

Two days after the retreat of the coalition, there were great celebrations throughout Arbiter. As such, it had greatly boosted the confidence of the Arbiters. A new generation of Arbiter soldiers represented by Ren Yixuan had received promotions. Ren Yixuan had truly become a one-of-a-kind military god.

In Arbiter, only the strong were worshipped and trusted, even if they were lame or blind. It was really straightforward. In addition, after this battle, the core strength of the younger generation, like Mars and the rest, were looking to Ren Yixuan as the new leader. Just defending?

This was not the style of Arbiter. Arbiter was the most aggressive country in the entire Milky Way Alliance. Aslan had been defeated. It was now their era.

However, Arbiter was not foolish. Another major bomb was dropped. The Second Elder of the Saint had accepted the political asylum of Arbiter. In his public statements to the Milky Way Alliance, he gave an introduction to the situation at the Saint. The Saint was a righteous group. It was to continue the inheritance of the last heroic era, the inheritance of the ancient physical arts. But it had been taken over by the Aslan Empire and turned into a tool for personal gains. He was now calling all the disciples of the Saint who were in exile to raise the flag of justice and crusade against Aslan.

This was a Heaven-rank master.

Regardless of whether this was true or otherwise, this was Arbiter pressing the Aslan Empire once again. This was an eye for an eye. The final outcome would be decided by the power of arms. The Arbiter Republic expressed understanding and tolerance for the countries that had been invaded by the Saint, as these countries were also victims. As long as they could rise up and oppose the supremacy of Aslan, all would be forgiven.

As a result of the demise of Kashawen, the public affairs department of the Aslan Empire seemed utterly chaotic. The key was that no one was as persuasive as Kashawen. The king of Aslan stepped up. But he had been behind the scenes for a long time and gave the impression that he was just a wallpaper. As time went by, he became precisely that. Furthermore, he did not have Kashawen’s charisma. In addition, the current situation was in a very state, hence a person with such a personality could offer no help. Besides, the rumors were spreading that the Great Elder of the Saint was the father of the current king.

Everything was in chaos. Where was Aina? Where was the most trusted princess of Aslan?

Although Kashawen had the most power in Aslan, Aina Aslan was widely respected. The people trusted this princess. However, where was the Princess when Aslan was in distress?

Was she in ill health? This was not an excuse!

Under such sensitive situations, the more Aina did not make an appearance, the more chaotic the situation became. Aslan was encountering its biggest crisis since the founding of the Aslan Empire.

Right now, on Titatitan Star.

Wang Zheng had just finished a day of training. The Tita army was now in a very pumped up state. However, the international situation was changing day by day. The Aslan Empire… could really be in danger. Wang Zheng did not feel that Aslan had no strength to fight back. In actual fact, in terms of strength, Aslan was still the strongest. However, in terms of morale and public opinion, Aslan was in a very precarious state. They had been too reliant on Kashawen. As soon as Kashawen passed away, Aslan became too reactive.

Wang Zheng had been hesitating whether to tell Aina or not. He had been thinking on his way back. He finally decided to be truthful with Aina. Regardless of the choices she would make, it was her choice to make.
