Chapter 1869: Chapter 572: Provocation_5
However, her face showed a hint of worry, and she immediately spoke to persuade.
"You guys, drink less!"
"It’s okay, are you worried about Su Ming already?"
"Nonsense!"
"Come on, Su Ming, let’s go again!"
Xia Lan got more and more excited as she drank.
"Alright."
Su Ming couldn’t refuse, after all, if he had things to do, Xia Lan would truly step up.
Soon, more than half an hour had passed, and there were six empty bottles under the table.
But besides his face being a little reddish, Su Ming was otherwise fine. In contrast, Xia Lan had drunk too much and was tearfully lamenting.
"Why don’t you like me?"
"Aren’t all men supposed to be lecherous? Why aren’t you?"
"Is it because I’m not pretty?"
...
Vivian saw that Xia Lan had drunk too much and was emotionally out of control, lamenting there, so she looked at Su Ming apologetically.
"Sorry for making a joke out of you. Sixth Sister is like this when she’s had too much."
"It’s alright."
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
Luckily, Xia Lan didn’t lament for long before she fell asleep on the table.
At this point, Su Ming said to Vivian.
"Miss Vivian, regarding the energy matter, Rhein mentioned it to me, and I never got the chance to thank you."
"No need for thanks."
Vivian replied with a smile.
"After the war, I will definitely repay you in full."
Su Ming promised Vivian.
"No rush, Lord Su Ming, just focus on winning this war."
Vivian replied with a soft laugh.
Just as Su Ming was about to say something more, suddenly the holographic screen in the distant plaza switched, and Mo Xiu’s virtual image appeared.
"Hello everyone, I am Mo Xiu!"
Su Ming and Vivian were startled when they heard it, instinctively turning to look over,
only to see Mo Xiu speaking coldly.
"I am here to ask everyone to witness! Emperor Igoshim, I represent Sky Dome City in officially declaring war against your Dark Star Empire. If you dare, attack the Steel Rock Star Defense Line; we are waiting for you here. If you don’t dare, you’re a coward, a chicken...."
Su Ming was shocked watching Mo Xiu’s war declaration video. Is Mo Xiu really going to take it to the end with the Dark Star Empire?
This war declaration video is no joke. If it were the Fanluo God Emperor, he might not care. But with the Dark Star Emperor’s personality, how could he tolerate being provoked? It’s very likely he would redirect forces to attack Steel Rock Star.
That would be a bit troublesome. Leaving aside the troop disparity, just facing the Dark Star Emperor and Sakari Captain alone, Mo Xiu and his team wouldn’t stand a chance.
At this moment, the citizens on the streets watching Mo Xiu’s war declaration image were dumbfounded.
Vivian also frowned tightly and said to Su Ming.
"Mr. Su Ming, it seems there’s trouble."
"Hmm, I’ll check Star Cluster Forum."
Su Ming took a deep breath and then opened Star Cluster Forum.
No surprise, the entire Star Cluster Forum was in an uproar. Mo Xiu’s war declaration video post was pinned to the top, with the hit count skyrocketing.
Su Ming clicked in and immediately saw the video of Mo Xiu declaring war against the Dark Star Emperor.
In the declaration post, countless Sky Dome City citizens left fanatic comments.
"Those Dark Star Empire bastards, dare to come!"
"If you don’t dare, I’m your daddy!"
"Damn, if our weapons weren’t paralyzed, we would’ve killed you already!"
....
Of course, besides voices of support, there were also some citizens unwilling, mostly from Steel Rock Star.
"Are you serious, why drag them over here!"
"What if we can’t beat them?"
"Then we’re done for."
"Why are you so cowardly!"
"It’s not about cowardice. They were originally going to attack Earth Flame Star, but you insist on bringing them over."
"I don’t agree with that. We can’t just take the hit on Earth Flame Star, come attack us all?"
...
As the citizens within the Federation were arguing non-stop,
Dark Star Empire’s soldiers also popped up with mocking comments.
"A vanquished general dares to be so arrogant. If not for your quick escape at Black Flame Star, your head would’ve been twisted off by our Emperor long ago!"
"Exactly, it’s really laughable. Since when can stray dogs bark wildly here and dare to openly challenge our Emperor!"
"Go to hell! What can dogs do? Using all those dirty tricks!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Talking about you bastards born to parents but without any upbringing!"
"Courting death! Don’t let us invade; we’ll tear your mouth apart then."
"Bring it on!"
"Whoever backs down is a grandchild."
.....
Su Ming watched the curses being exchanged by both sides, his brows furrowing into a knot.
At this time, Vivian saw Su Ming’s tightly furrowed brows and smiled as she spoke.
"Mr. Su Ming, what do you think of Mo Xiu’s war declaration post?"
"Unwise, too impulsive."
Su Ming sighed and said.
"Do you think the Dark Star Emperor will respond to Mo Xiu’s declaration of war?"
Vivian asked, looking at Su Ming.
"It’s hard to say. Sky Dome City and the Dark Star Empire are mortal enemies, and the Dark Star Emperor is not one to back down. He might indeed respond."
"Do you think Sky Dome City has a high chance of winning?"
"It’s not that I don’t have faith in Sky Dome City, but the odds really aren’t high. It would be good enough to barely hold the defense line. If luck is worse, the defense line could be breached."
Su Ming felt more and more troubled.
"I think so too."
Vivian smiled and said.
...
Starlight City·Federation Administrative Building, Office.
Long Bai was busily approving documents one by one.
At this moment, Vice City Lord Okens hurriedly walked in, calling out in a bit of a panic.
"Lord Long Bai!"
"What happened?"
Long Bai stopped, looked up at Okens, and asked in a cold voice.
"Lord Long Bai, Mo Xiu recorded a video to declare war against the Dark Star Empire, look!"
Vice City Lord Okens quickly raised his wristband, projecting the image out.
After watching Mo Xiu’s war declaration video, Long Bai’s purple eyes flickered, and with a cold voice infused with a trace of anger, he said.
"Nonsense, Mo Xiu’s forces were just heavily damaged, instead of hurrying to recover, he’s provoking the Dark Star Empire."
"I thought so too, now what do we do?"
"What’s the reaction over at the Dark Star Empire?"
"For now, just arguing on the forum, there’s no other news yet. But I’ve had people closely monitor it. Just that in these situations, you can never be too careful. What if the Dark Star Emperor really attacks the Steel Rock Star Defense Line?"
Vice City Lord Okens said, very uneasy.
Dark Star Empire initially aiming for the Earth Flame Star Defense Line, with the First Legion supporting, shouldn’t be an issue. But if the Dark Star Emperor really redirected to attack the Steel Rock Star Defense Line, and Mo Xiu and his team couldn’t hold on, the defense line would get breached, throwing all plans into disarray!
"Given the situation, we have to rely on them."
"Should we deploy some troops from the First Legion to support them?"
"Deploying troops from the First Legion to support them could easily give the enemy an opportunity."
Long Bai said coldly.
In fact, she was prepared for the worst, readying for a grand battle at Earth Flame Star, but disruptions always occur at critical moments.
"Lord Long Bai is right, what should we do next?"
"Keep a close watch on the Dark Star Emperor’s every move for me."
"Yes!"
Okens responded quickly.
