Chapter 389 - 104: The Road to War on Gangval Star! Aliya’s Wait! Funi’s Horrifying Realization...
Ophelia Cosmic Federation.
Rock Star Realm, Gangval Star, Oak City.
Boom—
Rumble—!
Above the city.
War fortresses emitted deafening engine roars.
Fleets of interstellar spaceships flew across the celestial vault in neat formations, leaving comet-like trails.
On the vast plains outside Oak City.
Endless numbers of unmanned mecha squads, reaching tens of millions, formed into formations.
And in front of the mecha formations, over a million soldiers stood tall and fully armed.
"Loyalty~!"
Orderly and thunderous chants echoed across the plains.
Above the celestial vault.
Venicca stood alone, emotionless and serene on her angelic face.
"Loyalty!"
She too whispered the words.
Then...
"Expedition!"
Venicca waved her hand.
Shush—
Shush shush—
Fortresses, warships, spaceships, mecha, soldiers...
Such vast forces mounted an advance, enough to sweep across the entire star, moving westward.
The destination of Venicca’s legion was Gangwa City.
As the name implies—
It was the most powerful and prosperous city on this star.
But...
When this war, sweeping across the entire star, was initiated by Venicca herself.
Perhaps, soon, Gangwa City on this star would become history.
"For my lord..."
"Every cost is worth it."
"Even if..."
"Acting unilaterally would violate the Federation’s treaty, and my Riel family might even be stripped of our hereditary governorship of Heaven Star..."
A fortnight earlier.
When Venicca deployed her legions and launched an attack on other cities surrounding Oak City, occupying them by force.
She received warnings and ultimatums from the Federation Government.
But, it didn’t matter.
Venicca only remembered, and adhered to one sentence—
That was the last thing Yu Jin told her before leaving: "Develop well, and best make Gangval Star the main base for my future arrival."
Main base, that was Venicca’s target.
And beside one’s bed, how could others sleep peacefully?
The territories of Gangval Star’s cities were tightly controlled by the so-called noble families.
Venicca had no interest in playing any games of negotiations for mutual benefits with them, choosing instead the simplest primitive solution—force!
Presently.
Around Oak City, one-fourth of the star’s territory was under Venicca’s and her fleet’s control.
The remaining three-quarters were guarded by the most powerful families of Gangval Star.
Facing such a formidable force like Venicca, the various noble families of Gangval Star had no time for petty internal squabbles, forming joint allied forces to launch a counterattack to reclaim the lost territory of the star.
Venicca, naturally, would not give them such a chance.
Or rather.
The counterattack was too slow.
She chose to gather all her forces until Gangwa City and open the curtain for the decisive battle on the star!
Boom—!
Rumble—!
With Venicca and her legion’s expedition.
The area surrounding Oak City, within a radius of ten thousand miles, trembled incessantly, both sky and earth.
Inside Oak City.
Lambert Building—once the most prosperous symbol in the center of Oak City, now officially renamed.
On the top floor, Funi stood in the opulent president’s office, gazing out the window at the distant view.
Fortresses, warships, spaceships, mecha...
Such a large-scale scene of military expedition, Funi last saw during the pre-promotion days in the Star System Wasteland Server.
"This war..."
"Will determine the final ownership of Gangval Star."
"Just hoping everything goes smoothly."
Funi murmured softly.
He didn’t follow Venicca on the expedition but stayed back at Oak City to provide logistical support at the rear.
After ’The Change of Oak City’ night.
The entire Lambert Clan was utterly annihilated.
Only Funi’s wife and Funi himself, the once ’son-in-law’, remained.
Of course.
Though the Lambert Clan was annihilated, the Lambert Chamber of Commerce saw truly explosive growth after that night.
The Lambert Chamber of Commerce today was no longer the small local association in Oak City, but one of the planet’s top commercial forces, spanning nearly half of Gangval Star with hundreds of distributed divisions.
All this naturally benefited from the warfare initiated by Venicca.
Whenever Venicca conquered a city with her legion, Funi would lead the chamber’s forces to ’friendly take over’ all the local commercial resources and wealth within the city.
Because of this.
The wealth of the Lambert Chamber of Commerce exploded exponentially within a short period.
All this, as written in history books—capital accumulation is often fraught with bloodshed and violence in its early stages.
And just a few days ago.
Upon receiving Yu Jin’s transaction message, Funi quickly organized and deployed various materials worth 700 million Source Points.
At that time, Yu Jin was puzzled why his account didn’t deduct any balance.
But the truth is...
All of this was ’acquired’ by Venicca bringing Funi along.
In fact.
Had Yu Jin not been in Low Dimension currently, making it impossible for Funi to make direct contact with him.
The Lambert Chamber of Commerce’s high Source Point balance would have already been transferred to Yu Jin—the Chamber’s capital entirely belonged to Yu Jin, and even President Funi himself was completely loyal to Yu Jin.
This fact was clear to both Venicca and Funi.
Dong—!
Dong dong—!
At this moment, a knocking sound interrupted Funi’s thoughts.
"Enter."
Funi took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice.
Click—
The office door was pushed open, and a young girl gently entered.
