Chapter 575: Martial Law on the Main Planet
"Father, why is she--?" Matthew couldn't understand Ai Wanxin's intention at all. There was a kind of confusion in his eyes that could not be concealed at all. He looked a little stupid.
Old Hans didn't even glance at his youngest son. His whole body and mind were focused on Ai Wanxin in the projection.
"I led the Third Quadrant Fleet and the Earth Alliance's brave and fearless warriors to fight an arduous battle against the demons who had returned and intensified their evil. We finally managed to completely imprison their souls, but the Earth had already been sent into a space-time tunnel by them."
"However, the extremely high intensity of cosmic radiation in the space-time channel causes the Earth's atmosphere to continue to escape. Before the Earth can successfully pass through the space-time channel, it will become a dead place."
"In order to protect the Earth, we used starships to form a spherical protective net above the Earth."
The picture suddenly changed, and a blue planet, carefully protected by a circle of light blue protective shield in the center, suddenly appeared in front of the audience of the entire star domain network.
The densely packed starships hanging above it look as small as ants, but they build a living barrier between deadly dangers and humans.
Just as the Galactic Expeditionary Force had done countless times before.
Jane and Qin looked at each other in surprise. Yannick had not told his family about the military intelligence at the front line. They really didn't expect that the situation at that time would be so dangerous.
Ai Wanxin said slowly: "It's just that the fleet has just been fighting for a long time, and the energy is about to run out. Even if we try our best, it will be difficult to support the Earth to complete this journey through time and space."
Matthew finally understood. He was overjoyed and shouted with shining eyes: "Father, they have no energy. They are finished!"
Old Hans's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened. He clutched his aching heart tightly and screamed, "Return! Let the Twin Star Fleet return!!!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
Several beams of light as bright as lightning shot out from the largest mobile fortress in the sky above the earth, brushed past the space drone that served as a camera, and shot towards the surging sea of stars in the distance.
But that was not a real sea of stars, but a vast and boundless interstellar fleet with no visible boundaries.
Several mechas stopped in front of the fleet, and the first one was the god in the hearts of all federal citizens, the Seraph.
The ships automatically separated into two sides and headed towards the earth without hesitation like swimming fish.
When passing by the Seraph, all the lights on the ships flashed simultaneously, which was their silent salute to the commander and comrades who returned from the fire.
Jean had grabbed her sister's arm at some point and started jumping and shouting, "It's the Galactic Expeditionary Force! The Resistance! Here they come, they're coming! Ahhhhhhhhhhh—"
Jane blinked quickly to relieve the inexplicable sour feeling in her nose and nodded heavily: "Yes, they are here!"
The rebels' vanguard ships merged into the protective array above the earth, replacing the exhausted Third Quadrant Fleet. The protective shield, which had been as thin as a cicada's wing, suddenly began to glow brightly again.
A huge dark green mecha took off from the rebels' central flagship, flew in the opposite direction of the fleet's movement, and flew to the side of several mechas guarding behind the Seraph.
The last rebel ship passed by them, and another even more vast sea of stars appeared unobstructed in everyone's sight.
Ludwig stared at the towering figure of the Seraph in front of him, and a dreamlike sense of unreality filled his chest.
She is really back...
Feeling the same unreality as Ludwig were the two acting commanders of the Twin Star Fleet, Leila and Fili, as well as all the generals and crew members of the fleet.
A quarter of an hour ago, the two acting commanders received a communication request from the Third Quadrant Fleet. Phili connected the communication, but he did not expect that the signal would be immediately synchronized to all ships of the Binary Fleet. It was the live broadcast signal transmitted to the entire galaxy.
The commander-in-chief of the three armies who disappeared without a trace after the battle of the distant star and was thought by everyone to be dead, just appeared before them so vividly.
If images could be faked, then the black and gold mecha standing tall and proud with red energy runes flowing all over it, blocking their ship at this moment, was real.
Behind it was a group of majestic mecha giants, and after that, the vast fleet rushed towards the blue celestial body as bright as a gem.
Leila and Phili's shoulders and backs were stiff and their throats were tight. They felt that there had never been such a painful moment in their lives.
The mission given to them by the new main star is to completely annihilate the Third Quadrant Fleet and the rebels and take back control of the Earth. If they fail to do so, then even if they blow up the mother star, they cannot allow the rebels to take advantage of the situation and rise up.
But now, the commander stood before them, and their mission target was doing their best to defend their home planet Earth, and everything was under the watchful eyes of the Interstellar Federation and citizens of other galaxies.
Can they actually press the launch button?
Could they really open fire on innocent people who had just escaped death?
The scene turned back to the cockpit of the Seraph. Ai Wanxin's clear and deep eyes seemed to look straight into everyone's heart through the lens.
The command room was completely silent, and Ai Wanxin's steady voice came through the communication channel clearly.
"Warriors of the Twin Star Fleet, whether or not you have fought alongside me before, today you are all my comrades, not my enemies."
"On behalf of the Earth, I am sending a video call for help to the entire galaxy, which of course includes you."
"Whether the earth can safely go through this journey that no one has ever taken depends entirely on your thoughts."
"You can turn around and pretend that you have never entered the space-time channel. Of course, you can also follow the orders of the new star and fire at us."
"But I hope that when everything is over and you return home, your relatives, lovers, children, and friends can proudly announce that this is a hero who participated in the defense of our home planet Earth."
For a few seconds, time seemed to stand still in this wonderful vortex of empty stars.
But soon, the seemingly stationary twin star fleet moved, first a cruiser, followed by battleships, destroyers, frigates...
The glowing warships stood out one after another, silently passing through the standing mecha groups, like bees returning to their nests, heading towards the common home planet of all mankind.
The communications officer strode forward and said to Leila and Fili with a tingling scalp: "Commander, the latest instructions from the new main star order the fleet to terminate the operation and return immediately."
Leila was silent for a few breaths, exchanged a complicated look with Fili, and finally closed her eyes, shook her head resolutely and said: "Notify the new main star that the binary star fleet can no longer return."
New main star, Speaker’s residence.
The captain of the Speaker's guard hurried into the meeting room and whispered in Old Hans' ear: "Mr. Speaker, some vagrants have surrounded the Federal Parliament and the official residence, demanding that the parliament explain the accusations of..."
Old Hans seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He looked around the room at the cabinet members who all looked worried. He took a deep breath for a long time before saying, "Disperse the crowd and declare martial law on the main planet."
"Convene all members of the parliament to discuss the defense plan for the Interstellar Federation to immediately enter a wartime emergency state and recruit the guard forces of each federation's star system to enter the core star field and work together with the Fourth Quadrant Fleet to guard the new main star."
