Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 609 - 595 Not biting the hook

"Xiao Yu is on Kangcheng Star," Zero said, looking at the latest intelligence with an excited expression.

By contrast, Bai Zhongqi, the main sufferer, appeared overly calm.

Han Jiaxue asked Bai Zhongqi with some curiosity, "Shouldn't we immediately organize a fleet to Kangcheng Star and trap Xiao Yu there?"

Bai Zhongqi, however, carefully read the simple press release several times and then shook his head, "Trap."

Zero pressed, "You're saying this is a ploy by Xiao Yu to lure us to Kangcheng Star?"

Bai Zhongqi nodded, then analyzed, "Xiao Yu is organizing a massing of the Star Alliance Fleet, with primary assembly points in four directions. Dozens of legions have now assembled, totaling seventy to eighty thousand ships. The defense work of all Administrative Stars and resource stars has been squeezed to the limit."

Han Jiaxue laughed, "That's because even if fleets are deployed to defend the planets, it won't do any good. As soon as the Star Devouring Demon arrives, it immediately consumes the planet, and the large fleet comes through wormholes. Defending fleets are wiped out in the blink of an eye."

Bai Zhongqi smiled at her and said, "Correct, even if Xiao Yu has some trump cards, he has no measures against our star-consuming tactics. Two weeks ago, Xiao Yu went to Fowoping Star. Although his exact itinerary wasn't disclosed, I suspect he met with the military department heads of the High Council there. It's very likely they've come up with a plan to deal with us, and the execution site is on Kangcheng Star."

Zero questioned, "To lure us there and then annihilate us all in one fell swoop? Aren't they a bit too confident?"

"If the ten giants from the High Council truly get involved, we cannot afford to be careless."

Han Jiaxue looked at Bai Zhongqi, who seemed to have all the answers, and asked, "So, how do we respond?"

Bai Zhongqi chuckled, "By not taking the bait."

Xiao Yu smashed a rare ornament in his hand to the ground. Even though his face was calm, the Chancellor of the Star Alliance was clearly in utter disarray.

Su Shuang, sitting opposite him, didn't show a disdainful look toward Xiao Yu. At times like this, anyone would feel both angry and helpless. If such a great civilization had already lost half of its Administrative Stars and more than seventy percent of its population, Su Shuang didn't believe it would be due to that person's depth of character, but rather, to their utter stupidity.

Xiao Yu raised his head with cold eyes looking at Su Shuang and said, "Rainbow Light Star has suffered a great defeat. One of the Star Alliance Fleet's assembly military facilities has been destroyed, and losing Rainbow Light Star is the least of it. This time, nearly thirteen thousand warships from fifteen of my legions have been sunk. The Star Devourer did not fall for the bait but targeted the military strength of the Star Alliance. I would like to ask Divine General Number Five, do you have any good solutions?"

Su Shuang, like Xiao Yu, often showed little emotion. When questioned by Xiao Yu, Su Shuang did not get angry, but simply said, "The defeat of Rainbow Light Star only proves that our opponent is indeed no mediocrity. Seeing through the trap set at Kangcheng Star, they chose a battlefield more favorable to themselves. This is the behavior of a skilled general. As for countermeasures, I'm sorry, but I do not have any at the moment."

Xiao Yu said angrily, "Then I will concentrate all fleets from the other three assembly points in one place and set a trap there. Moreover, isn't there enough evidence now of the Star Devourer's fleet from the battle at Rainbow Light Star? Their fighters are simply a group of flying Insect Race, doesn't that just confirm that they are a Swarm calamity?"

Su Shuang did not nod but said, "It seems so; the Star Devourer does appear to be the Swarm. However, this calamity is different from the past; the master of this Swarm has his own mission, which is to eliminate you. He has deviated from the traditional Swarm route of plaguing every celestial body in the Galaxy, so far, only the Star Alliance's planets have been devoured. Considering his past behavior, I also do not think these planets are being entirely consumed by the Swarm. A Swarm exhibiting human-like strategic thinking is very interesting, I need more information."

Xiao Yu's gaze was murderous, piercing through Su Shuang, "Divine General Number Five, you should know that once a Swarm calamity forms on a scale, even with the ten giants leading the High Council's coalition forces, it will be very difficult to eliminate them without controlling the losses. If you abandon the Star Alliance and try to appease the Swarm, the ones who will regret it in the end will surely be you."

"Hmm, I have no intention of letting the Swarm loose. However, Chancellor Xiao, please also stop trying to provoke me with reverse psychology. The destruction or survival of the Star Alliance makes no difference to the High Council. The High Council bears no responsibility for the existence of the Star Alliance or for your chancellorship, so even if you die now, it will not hinder our battle against the Swarm," Su Shuang responded.

Feeling the formidable pressure emanating from Xiao Yu, Su Shuang stood up and said, "I am aware that you are a master Star Warrior, and maybe you think it would be easy to kill me. I won't try to intimidate you with the Council's authority, but if you want to murder me, give it your best shot."

Xiao Yu could discern that Su Shuang's confidence was not feigned. While he couldn't sense any Star Energy or other threat from Su Shuang, he had a feeling that if he really made a move on Su Shuang, he might not come out ahead. Moreover, attacking the High Council's Divine General Number Five would mean scrapping his plans to recruit the High Council against Bai Zhongqi.

Su Shuang seemed to have grown tired of talking with Xiao Yu, a person as cold as a venomous snake and overbearing, and thus he said, "The other three military assembly points of yours have immediate Stargates for transport. Starting now, you should increase the Stargates of the other three locations immediately, replicate the layout of Kangcheng Star so that they can all allow passage of the High Council's coalition fleets. I will make deployments for all three locations, making them potential traps against the Star Devourer. If the Star Devourer continues to focus on destroying your military forces, then wherever they strike, it can become our pocket for an ambush."

Xiao Yu reacted, realizing that although the workload would increase, it was indeed a good strategy.

Su Shuang left Xiao Yu's palace, uncharacteristically revealing a cold smirk.

"He's got some capability, but he lacks the vision and courage of a true High Level Civilization's dictator. Even if you're a master Star Warrior, so what? That Bai Zhongqi, the Star Devouring Demon, is quite a character, even curiously gaining control of the Swarm. I don't mind letting Bai Zhongqi slay you first, then settle the calamity's account with him."

Whereas Xiao Yu watched Su Shuang leave, face cold as ice, "A worthless Divine General posturing before me. Just give me time, after annihilating Bai Zhongqi, the High Council will be next. The Galaxy will inevitably become my plaything."
