Chapter 479 -83: Turbulence of War_2
“Liu Feng has endured too much during his term,” Ge Hong began, his gaze then shifting to Xu Mo. “If Liu Feng goes to persuade the people to leave, it may not be effective and might even incite further anger among the public. Xu Mo, come with us.”
Xu Mo now holds unparalleled influence in Chuanxing City; his words would be more effective than Liu Feng’s.
The war is a matter for the Federation Army and has nothing to do with the civilians; there’s no need for meaningless sacrifices.
“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded.
He also felt deeply moved, realizing that where there are people, there is strife. Even the Federation Government, in such a state, still harbored internal conflicts and various conspiracies.
Though the actions taken by Mayor Liu Feng might be criticized for lacking integrity, they were rational in a sense. He understood the disparity in strength and thus opted for compromises in search of development.
There are different kinds of people in the world: the hard-liners and those like Mayor Liu Feng. Who can definitively declare right from wrong?
But at least, it’s evident that the public dislikes the so-called weak; no one wants to compromise and be bullied.
Undoubtedly, Mayor Liu Feng felt the same.
Yet for the sake of the Federation, he was willing to sacrifice himself.
The armed forces of the Divine Sword Bureau surged towards the warships, and one by one, the ships took off, embarking toward the Lancelot Star leasehold area.
……
Lancelot Star leasehold area.
The sky was densely filled with mechanical bodies, arranged in orderly combat formations, firing in a unified direction where people continuously tried to breach the leasehold, creating chaos.
The armed forces of the Chuanxing City Government arrived, but they weren’t there to fight; instead, they forcibly separated the leasehold area from the civilians.
Amidst the flying devices, Chuanxing City Mayor Liu Feng spoke, urging the civilians to withdraw.
However, seeing such a passive approach from the City Government and the armed forces even preventing them, the public’s anger intensified, the situation still uncontrollable as many tried to force their way into the leasehold area, opening fire—even against the armed forces of Chuanxing City.
Mayor Liu Feng, witnessing the uncontrollable chaos from within his warship, felt a chill in his heart. Someone was fueling the public’s anger; they were blinded by rage, influenced by their emotions, and if this continued, the casualties would only increase.
In Chuanxing City, countless people watched the scenes unfolding on their screens, filled with anger.
The government was ineffective; even now, they were still urging their own people to leave instead of initiating combat.
The sense of frustration made the citizens of Chuanxing City eager to step onto the battlefield themselves.
“Buzz…”
At that moment, from the far distance in the sky, rows of warships headed in this direction. Many people looked up to the sky, their hearts stirred—it was the Divine Sword Bureau’s warships; the Divine Sword Bureau had arrived.
The warships moved forward, soon reaching the leasehold boundary. From one warship, a figure emerged, piloting a mecha, looking down at the crowd, adjusting the mecha’s speaker volume to the maximum and then began, “I am Xu Mo.”
The sound falling, many were taken aback, then looked up to the mecha in the sky.
Xu Mo had actually come.
Currently, the people of Lancelot Star had been intent on capturing Xu Mo; how could he be here?
The cause of this incident was due to Lancelot Star’s aggressive demand for the Federation to hand over Xu Mo, which greatly displeased the people of Chuanxing City, compelling them to pressure the Federation Government to expel the aliens.
“I am very sorry to see everyone thrown into crisis because of me,” Xu Mo continued, “I urge everyone to immediately vacate this area and stop advancing into the line of fire. The crimes committed by Lancelot Star will be punished, but for now, your impulsive actions are meaningless and only increase casualties.”
Hovering in his mecha, Xu Mo spoke aloud, “Among you, some are deliberately stirring up this incident, making ordinary people bleed. I hope others will remain rational; listen to me, do not make reckless sacrifices when you all have families of your own to protect.”
Hearing Xu Mo’s words, many felt their hearts tremble, suddenly experiencing a wave of intense sorrow.
But still, they were not willing to give up.
“The Lancelot Star People trample on the lives of Byron Star people, and that’s just it, the Federation Government turns a blind eye?” someone angrily shouted, seeming to deliberately provoke further trouble.
“If the Federation Government doesn’t care, what do you think will be the outcome if you barge in?” Xu Mo loudly rebuked, if the Federation doesn’t care, their intrusion will mean death.
It’s just a meaningless act of sending themselves to death.
If the Federation Government doesn’t care, then what’s the point of what they’re doing?
“And if the Federation Government is going to handle it, then what’s the point of all your actions?” Xu Mo continued, if the Federation would intervene, them storming in would still spell death, still meaningless.
Many people began to waver.
“This incident started because of me, and I don’t want to see more ordinary people die because of me, I ask everyone to leave,” Xu Mo bowed to those below, and those who had wavered began to retreat.
Afterward, more people retreated, still with strong reluctance, but Xu Mo’s words were right; their actions motivated by anger were a meaningless sacrifice.
“Tss…”
Just as the crowd hesitated to leave, the Mechanical Bodies from Lancelot Star collectively opened fire toward the boundary below; in an instant, many people were directly penetrated, blood splashing, and their retreat path was immediately blocked by gunfire, forcing those who had entered to retreat.
“Buzz.”
A line of Mechanical Bodies shot straight toward Xu Mo’s position, heading directly for him, with other Mechanical Bodies also aiming at that area.
Running headlong into the trap?
A flash of white light moved forward, appearing in front of Xu Mo; Ye Huan’s sword waved, unleashing an incredibly dazzling Energy Light sweep, and in the air, a burst of Energy Sword Light appeared, instantly causing those advancing Mechanical Bodies to explode in mid-air, all obliterated.
This made the other Mechanical Bodies hesitate, hovering in the air, pairs of eyes fixated on Ye Huan’s position.
“You’ve crossed the line,” Ye Huan’s sword pointed inward.
In the distance, a massive black Mechanical Body stared out from outside the leased territory.
It seems the Divine Sword Bureau was still hesitating whether to start a war or else it would not just stand watching the boundary.

Inferior civilisations remain inferior civilisations, slaughtered by them yet not daring to strike back.
He waved his hand, and suddenly a massive wave of Mechanical Bodies surged out of the boundary, sealing off the Divine Sword Bureau’s fighters and the area.
In front of the leased territory, Mechanical Bodies lined up in a row, all aimed toward Xu Mo’s position.
Since you’ve come, there’s no need for you to leave.
“These assholes!”
The crowd, upon seeing this scene, picked up their weapons, ready to continue the fight.
“Xu Mo stays, others may leave,” the leading Mechanical Body among the Lancelot Star People spoke; these lower civilisation humans didn’t hold much value to them, killing them held no great significance – a matter of stepping on them if they wished.
However, Xu Mo walked out from the warship, and reliable information suggested that some equipment Xu Mo had brought out must hold some critical information.
To acquire the super warship, keeping Xu Mo could increase the chances.
The people of the Divine Sword Bureau stood in front of Xu Mo; since they came, they were naturally prepared to fight.
The evacuating crowd at that moment stopped their steps, turning around to look towards the battlefield, raising their weapons, and even began marching back in unison.
Some things, even if they’re meaningless, still have to be done!
