Chapter 1408: Only I Can Save the Daikong Star Alliance

The vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Diplomatic Residence; Kewake got out, intending to lead Kailuosi Jin inside.

"No need, I can go in by myself."

"Ah, er, yes, my lord."

A squad of the Lucifer Black Guard began to inspect the perimeter of the Diplomatic Residence.

Fulgrim stood before the window, watching the motorcade downstairs, when Yingxin ran over.

"Brother Fulgrim, has someone come?"

Fulgrim said.

"It should be the people coming to pick us up."

The doorbell rang; Fulgrim walked over to open the door, and Kailuosi Jin stood at the entrance.

"Lord Fulgrim, by the order of my master, I have come to take the three of you home."

Fulgrim nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Yingxin ran over, and upon seeing Kailuosi Jin, her eyes lit up.

"Uncle Kailuosi Jin!"

Kailuosi Jin crouched down.

"Lady Yingxin, are you alright?"

Yingxin shook her head.

"I'm fine, it was very fun."

Kailuosi Jin stood up.

"My master is very worried about you."

Yingxin asked.

"Is Uncle angry?"

Kailuosi Jin said.

"No, my master is very happy to know you are safe and sound."

"Really?"

Kailuosi Jin said.

"Really, and you have done my master a great favor."

Yingxin tilted her head.

"What favor did I do?"

Kailuosi Jin said.

"As for that, my master will tell you personally after you return."

Yingxin let out a long sigh.

"That's good, I thought Uncle would scold me."

Kailuosi Jin said.

"My master might say a few words to you."

Yingxin stuck out her tongue.

"Let him say them, I'm not afraid."

Fulgrim walked over.

"Kailuosi Jin, are we leaving now?"

Kailuosi Jin said.

"No rush, my master has another Task for me; once the task is complete, we will return together."

Fulgrim nodded.

"Then we will stay with you on the ship."

Kailuosi Jin said.

"Very well, I will have someone arrange it."

The three were settled into the flagship's private cabin.

After confirming the three had no further requests, Kailuosi Jin turned and left the cabin.

He arrived at the ship's Communication Room and found the encrypted Communication Device.

Kailuosi Jin pressed the communication key, the screen lit up, and he entered a string of complex codes.

A holographic projection of Aolana appeared on the screen.

"Lord Kailuosi Jin, you summoned me."

Kailuosi Jin said.

"My master has an order. Although the Daikong Star Alliance and the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance have signed a Non-Aggression Treaty, the effectiveness of the treaty depends on the will of those who execute it.

Kewake is a Pragmatist, while Serafen is a hardliner. Serafen may take action in the near future, so we need to take precautions in advance.

My master has decided that you are to arrange for Kalidusi assassins to gradually replace key high-level figures in the Daikong Star Alliance."

Aolana asked.

"Which targets?"

Kailuosi Jin said.

"Military representative Serafen, Minister of Intelligence Zuola, and several other unstable high-level officials. Selina will send you the specific list.

Your task is to ensure that the Daikong Star Alliance does not become a threat to the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance."

Aolana nodded.

"Understood. Now, Serafen's Adjutant is my subordinate."

Kailuosi Jin looked at Aolana.

"You made preparations in advance?"

"Precautionary Measures; this is something the Emperor once said."

"Good, but it is not enough. My master demands total control over the upper echelons of the Daikong Star Alliance."

"Understood."

"When Serafen makes his move, once he launches a coup, the Daikong Star Alliance will fall into chaos. That is when we strike, with full justification, invited to quell the rebellion."

Aolana nodded.

"Understood, I will arrange it."

The communication cut off.

In the Diplomatic Committee office, Kewake sat before his desk.

Spread out before him was the garrison report from the Spaceport; five regiments of the Cadian Shock Troops had already seized half the area of the Spaceport.

The flagship of the Adeptus Custodes, Kailuosi Jin, was docked at the main berth, its ship cannons aimed toward the direction of the Capital Star.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Serafen strode in.

"Commissioner Kewake, the army of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is stationed at our Spaceport, controlling half the area. What do they take us for? A colony?"

Kewake looked at him.

"General Serafen, the fleet of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is here to pick up children; their army is only stationed here temporarily."

Serafen slammed the table.

"Temporarily? Five regiments, plus that black-armored unit. Their ship cannons are aimed at our Capital Star, and you call this temporary? Kewake, you are too weak! The dignity of the Daikong Star Alliance has been thrown away by you!"

Kewake's expression darkened.

"Serafen, watch your language. The Daikong Star Alliance and the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance have signed a Non-Aggression Treaty; this is a resolution of the Diplomatic Committee, and you have no right to question it."

Serafen sneered.

"You only know how to sign, how to compromise, how to kneel. The fleet of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance has arrived, and you don't even dare to let out a peep. I tell you, the Daikong Star Alliance is not a vassal of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, and I have my responsibilities."

Kewake stood up.

"What do you want to do?"

Serafen said.

"I don't want to do anything; I am just reminding you that the army of the Daikong Star Alliance still exists, and it is not only the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance that has a fleet."

He turned and left, the door slamming shut behind him.

Returning to his office, Serafen stood before the window, looking at the fleet of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance in the direction of the distant Spaceport.

His Adjutant stood behind him.

"How many ships has the fleet assembled?"

Serafen asked.

"General, eighty Capital Ships, one hundred and twenty Auxiliary Ships, and two hundred assault ships."

"How much longer is needed?"

The Adjutant said.

"Estimated forty-eight hours; some ships are still under repair. Do you need to speed up the progress?"

Serafen shook his head and said.

"Tell them to hurry; we have no time left. The Daikong Star Alliance is in imminent danger, and only I, only I can save the Daikong Star Alliance."

The Adjutant nodded.

"The General is wise."

Serafen turned around and looked at him.

"How long have you been with me?"

The Adjutant recalled from his original memories.

"Twenty years, General."

Serafen said.

"Twenty years. You are the person who understands me best. For this operation, you are responsible for coordinating the fleet."

"Yes, General."

The Adjutant turned and left.

The Adjutant returned to his own office, closed the door, and locked it.

Then he walked to his desk and pressed a hidden button on the table.

A secret door slid open in the wall, inside of which was a small Communication Device.

He entered the password, and the communication request was sent.

A moment later, Aolana's holographic projection appeared on the screen.

"Serafen is planning a coup. The fleet is assembling and is expected to launch in forty-eight hours. His goal is to expel the garrison of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, overthrow Kewake, and seize power over the Daikong Star Alliance."

"Explain the specific plan."

"First, control the Spaceport and blockade the fleet of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance. Then, occupy the Diplomatic Committee building and arrest Kewake.

Finally, announce to the entire Star Alliance that the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance are invaders and that the Daikong Star Alliance must save itself."

"Hmm, continue to lie low and wait for further instructions."

"Understood."
