Chapter 824: Canaan Star Alliance Occupies Silent Valley (2)

The hall was deathly silent.

Only on the star map, in the area representing the FQ-95 theater, did deep blue and dark red light points continue to collide violently, reminding everyone of the reality that Feng Qi was still bleeding on two fronts at this moment.

"Three months of stern negotiations have yielded nothing but the day-and-night roaring of Canaan's illegal mining facilities in Silent Valley, and nothing but the constant reinforcement of their armed forces!"

Saka's voice finally turned into a heavy declaration.

"Diplomatic channels... have been closed by the Canaan Star Alliance itself!"

His gaze turned once more toward Sailin.

"General Sailin, the current combat areas all belong to the Western Theater; the dignity and sovereignty of the Star Alliance must not be tarnished!

The Spirit Element Ore of Silent Valley is the inseparable property of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance!

The President has ordered me to represent the Star Alliance Council and all Fengqi citizens to formally command the Western Theater to take all necessary measures to expel the invaders and recover Silent Valley!"

Sailin slowly stood up. He did not look at Saka, his gaze still locked onto that patch of emerald green.

The eyes of the entire council hall were focused on him.

"The statement from Diplomat Saka is clear and concise. The actions of the Canaan Star Alliance are the most heinous aggression against the Feng Qi Xing Alliance."

Sailin's voice was not loud, but he spoke with a hint of resolve.

"Their greed is stained with the blood of our soldiers who sacrificed themselves at FQ-95."

He raised his hand and pointed to the Silent Valley region on the star map.

"The President's request and the expectations of the Star Alliance citizens—I will certainly handle these troubles cleanly!

Do these Star Alliances think we are still the Feng Qi that once compromised for the sake of survival?"

Suolun's voice suddenly turned sharp.

"Orders!"

The entire council hall seemed to be pierced by an invisible electric current in an instant.

"The 'Rock Fortress' garrison fleet, enter maximum combat readiness immediately! All non-essential maintenance operations are suspended; combat personnel are to return to their ships at once!"

"The 'Sharp Sword' rapid response fleet, end your rest, complete assembly within 6 standard hours, and under the command of Captain Hakema, proceed as the vanguard directly to the periphery of Silent Valley!"

"The 'Sword Holder' capital ship fleet group, upon arriving at the current theater rotation mission, immediately perform a tactical jump toward Silent Valley!"

"The 'Dark Eye' array, allocate 15% of computing power to monitor the movements of the Canaan Fleet in Silent Valley and the surrounding star sectors throughout the process, especially any anomalies from the direction of the Ashes!"

A series of orders were issued rapidly.

On the star map, the deep blue light points representing the massive war machine of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance began to flicker, move, and converge violently, soon forming a torrent of steel pointed at the emerald region of Silent Valley!

"Lord Sailin!"

A senior councilor could not help but speak up, filled with worry.

"The pressure on the FQ-95 front remains immense, and the Ash Star Alliance has recently strengthened its offensive. Withdrawing a main fleet of this scale to Silent Valley at this time—while the Star Alliance can bear it, it will cause the Star Alliance's operations to..."

Sailin turned his head abruptly, his three eyes staring directly at the councilor.

"Councilor, every soldier we have bleeding at FQ-95 right now—their sacrifice is not just to resist the Lava of the Ashes!

It is to protect every inch of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance's territory and every bit of its resources!

If we turn a blind eye to Canaan's banditry in Silent Valley today, then tomorrow, more wolves will sniff out the scent of blood and pounce, biting at any part of our body!

Silent Valley must be retaken!

This is not just a struggle for resources; it is a bottom-line battle for the continued dignity of the Star Alliance!

As for FQ-95..."

Sailin paused, then continued.

"Tell the soldiers on the front line that the fleet heading to Silent Valley is reclaiming stolen treasures for Feng Qi!

Tell them to nail the Ashes down at FQ-95 for me!

Use victory to echo our actions in Silent Valley!

The Feng Qi Xing Alliance fleet has the capability to defend two star-filled skies at once!"

On the periphery of Silent Valley, the flagship of the Fengqi 'Sharp Sword' rapid response fleet—the 'Gargoyle'-class light frigate.

Captain Hakema stood on the Bridge, his three eyes staring out the porthole.

In the distance, that asteroid belt shrouded in the shadows of emerald starships was Silent Valley.

He could see the patrol trajectories of those streamlined 'Sentinel'-class destroyers of the Canaan Star Alliance 'Emerald Blade' fleet outside the mining area, as well as the massive silhouette of that Fortress-class landing ship docked in the orbit of the main mining planet.

"Report, Captain! The capital ship fleet group has completed assembly, and General Sailin's communication signal has been connected!"

The Communications Officer's voice carried a hint of excitement.

Hakema nodded, his fingers sliding across the Control Console to activate the fleet broadcast.

"Attention, all 'Sharp Sword' fleet units! This is Captain Hakema. Our fleet, as the vanguard, will be the first to enter the Silent Valley perimeter alert zone. Our Task: demonstrate presence, draw the line, and create a favorable posture for the arrival of the main fleet!"

He paused, his tone turning cold and hard.

"Maintain maximum alert!

Weapon systems preheating, shields at full power!

All gun muzzles, aim at the flight paths of the Canaan ships!

Remember, we are not here to negotiate!

We are here to tell those bandits wearing olive branches—the Fengqi fleet has arrived!

Regarding the Spirit Element Ore of Silent Valley, Feng Qi will not yield an inch!

In the name of the Star Alliance, by the blood of our sacrificed soldiers, advance!"

The engines of the 'Gargoyle' roared powerfully, its deep blue exhaust trail lengthening.

Behind it, the engines of dozens of 'Gargoyle'-class light frigates lit up one after another, forming a wedge formation and flying toward that star sector forcibly dyed green by Canaan!

The gun barrels of the starships rotated slowly in the gloom—the most direct and powerful diplomatic language of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance!

Deep within Silent Valley, aboard the flagship of the Canaan Star Alliance's "Emerald Blade," the "Sentinel Eye," Commander Kyle Valen watched the Fengqi vanguard fleet approaching at high speed with clear hostility on the tactical star map, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He gave a calm order into the Communication Device.

"All fleets, level one combat alert. Raise shields to maximum. Calibrate cannons, target: the trajectory of the Fengqi vanguard fleet. Let them see clearly, the 'order' of Canaan... brooks no challenge."

Emerald energy flowed faintly at the muzzles of the "Sentinel" class Destroyer.

Meanwhile, on the distant FQ-95, inside the Ash Star Alliance flagship "Molten Fury," Commander Hal watched the intelligence on the movements of the Fengqi Capital Ship fleet, the light in his eyes flickering as he revealed a smug smile.
