Chapter 1412: Suppressing the Daikong Star Alliance Rebellion (2)

In the military command headquarters, Serafen stood before the window, watching the firelight outside.

His expression was calm, a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.

His Adjutant walked in.

"General, the North District has fallen, the East District is still in a stalemate, the West District has surrendered, and the South District is still fighting; we are going to lose."

Serafen turned around to ask.

"Have the Cadians made a move?"

The Adjutant nodded.

"Yes, four regiments are attacking simultaneously; our troops cannot hold them back."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we capture Kewake and control the government, we can negotiate. The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance will not fight us to the end over a change in government for the Daikong Star Alliance."

"The General is wise."

Serafen walked back to the desk and sat down.

"You have done well in this operation. The fleet was assembled in time and the command was appropriate. When this is over, I will promote you."

The Adjutant bowed slightly.

"Serving the General is my honor."

Serafen picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

"The Daikong Star Alliance has been silent for too long; Kewake only knows how to compromise. Only I, only I can make the Daikong Star Alliance stand up again."

D-11 stood behind him, not speaking.

Serafen continued to speak.

"The fleet of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance has arrived, and their ship guns are aimed at our Capital Star. Kewake will not resist and will only kneel to welcome them, but I will not kneel; the Daikong Star Alliance must not kneel."

He put down the wine glass and said to his Adjutant.

"You should know my temper; what I have decided, I will not change."

D-11 said.

"Yes, General, I know."

Serafen turned around and looked at him.

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

"General, you did what you believed to be right."

Serafen laughed. "Right, as long as I think it is right, that is enough."

He walked back to the desk and sat down.

"The Emperor of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance thinks that by signing a treaty he can control the Daikong Star Alliance, but he is wrong; we have our own backbone."

D-11 spoke at this moment.

"General."

Serafen looked up.

"Hm?"

D-11's hand pulled a dagger from his waist.

Serafen's pupils contracted.

"You..."

The dagger stabbed into Serafen's throat, the movement very fast, so fast that Serafen had no time to react.

Serafen clutched his throat, wanting to speak, but his trachea had been severed; he stared at D-11, his eyes full of disbelief.

D-11 was expressionless.

"General, you did one thing wrong; you should not have trusted me, because your Adjutant died not long ago."

Serafen's body fell backward, the chair overturned, and he crashed to the floor.

Blood gushed from his throat, staining the floor red.

His hands were still moving, trying to grab D-11's feet.

D-11 stepped back, and Serafen's hand stopped in mid-air, then dropped.

Until his death, Serafen did not understand that the Adjutant who had followed him for twenty years had been replaced by someone else, and he hadn't even known!

D-11 squatted down, confirmed that Serafen was no longer breathing, then stood up, wiped the dagger clean, and returned it to his waist.

"Aolana, Task complete."

"Tell the other rebels on the communication channel that Serafen is dead and make them surrender."

"Understood."

From the moment the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance intervened in this rebellion until it ended, it only took 5 standard hours to resolve the crisis; the remaining rebel resistance was nothing more than the final struggle of a spent force.

Kewake sat in the Meeting Room of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance camp, and when he heard the news, he also felt a sense of trance.

Serafen was dead, the coup had failed, and he had won, but the one who truly won was the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance.

Without their army, he might already be dead now.

Kailuosi Jin stood on the Bridge and pressed the Communication Device.

"Akadi, stop the attack, let the Daikong troops clean up the rebels, and you wait for orders."

Akadi's voice came through.

"Understood."

Kailuosi Jin sent an encrypted message to Aolana.

"Arrange for others to take advantage of the chaos and replace the high-level officials of the Daikong Star Alliance."

Xiuluo Holy Star, Yingzhou's study.

Yingzhou sat before his desk, with several reports spread out in front of him.

The situation in the Daikong Star Alliance, the movements of the Broken Bone Empire, the progress of negotiations with the Canaan Star Alliance, and the feedback on the Civil Law Revision Draft.

Selina's holographic projection appeared in the corner of the room.

"Your Majesty, Lord Kailuosi Jin has sent an encrypted battle report."

"Report the situation."

Selina's data stream flickered rapidly.

"The rebellion in the Daikong Star Alliance has been quelled; four regiments of the Cadian Blitz Army struck simultaneously, assisting Daikong Star Alliance forces in mopping up the rebels.

Serafen has been assassinated, the rebel commander is dead, and the remaining resistance is collapsing.

From the intervention of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance to the resolution of the crisis, it took five standard hours.

Kewake has returned to the Diplomatic Committee building and is currently restoring order."

The corners of Yingzhou's mouth lifted slightly.

"Kailuosi Jin has done well."

Selina said.

"Lord Kailuosi Jin has already arranged for Aolana to take advantage of the chaos to replace key figures in the Daikong Star Alliance leadership; the targets on the list are being processed step by step."

Yingzhou nodded.

"Tell him to continue; the Daikong Star Alliance must be firmly in our grasp."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yingzhou leaned back in his chair.

The matter of the Daikong Star Alliance had come to an end.

Treaties, garrisons, assassins, coups—all the arrangements were proceeding according to plan.

Kewake would be grateful for the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance's assistance, would willingly accept the garrison, and would remain aligned with the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance in trade and diplomacy.

"Selina, where has the Sons of the People Chapter reached?"

Selina pulled up the star map.

"The Sons of the People Chapter has arrived at the edge of the Broken Bone Empire's sphere of influence.

Chapter Master Sebastian reports that the fleet is advancing toward Wala Star and is expected to reach the target planet within twenty-four hours."

Yingzhou asked.

"Is there any movement from the Broken Bone Empire?"

Selina said.

"Gokazi, the leader of the Broken Bone Empire, is still issuing public statements, claiming that the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance dares not take action against them.

Their fleet has not been deployed, their fortifications have not been reinforced, and their slave farms are operating as usual."

"Arrogant Alien, they will die quickly."

The door to the study was knocked on lightly.

Luojia walked in, wearing the ceremonial robes of the Word Bearers Legion, holding that string of Psionic Crystal Rosary in his hand.

Luojia sat down in the chair opposite the desk.

"Father, the Sons of the People Chapter should be starting their crusade against the Broken Bone Empire now, right?"

"Soon, Selina says they will arrive at Wala Star within twenty-four hours."

Luojia nodded.

"The Broken Bone Orcs have done evil for many years; it is time for them to pay. As long as the Sons of the People Chapter succeeds in their decapitation strike and destroys their command structure, the rest will just be mopping up."

"Sebastian knows how to fight. After the Broken Bone Empire, there is still the Sargon Free Territory, the Zelar Commercial Alliance, and the Viridian United Kingdom. The debt for kidnapping the Primarch has not yet been settled."

Luojia said.

"Father, those factions have already sent representatives to plead for mercy."

"Compensation? Do they think compensation can buy back my son's safety?"

"Then what is Father's intention?"

"The Capital Stars of those three factions—the Sargon Free Territory, the Zelar Commercial Alliance, and the Viridian United Kingdom—must disappear."

Luojia nodded.

"Understood."

Yingzhou picked up the quill on the desk and signed his name on the document.

"Tell Kailuosi Jin to return as soon as he finishes handling the Daikong Star Alliance matter.

Yingxin needs to come home, and Fulgrim and Leman Russ also need to return."

"Yes."
