Constantine thought about it a lot, but standing in his position, his thinking would be different from an average person. His effort and calculations were infallible, but there were too many unknown variables.
The five destined ones were one problem. If he had known earlier, he would have first killed the five of them, but he had been too conceited. Standing at such a height, and holding this much power, he would have definitely ignored these youths. But in actual fact, the five of them had managed to shake the whole Milky Way Alliance.
Second point: Atlantis had not moved. This surprised Constantine. All along, the two countries had good relations. However, Atlantis was decisive when it was time to choose. This was a huge blow to Aslan, but it was not too surprising. He had plans prepared for this, but it did have an effect.
Third point: Aina… this was something Constantine could not predict. Aina did not listen to him. She had drawn the boundaries in such a situation.
Looking back at it, drawing boundaries… may have been the only option.
After another month of chaos, Aslan held a tight defense. While the star fields they controlled were decreasing in number, they were stubbornly resisting. Aina and Huiyin’s encouragement had a huge effect. Aslan was not like the Sirius Star. To completely destroy a superpower, in the history of humans, the only possibility was for internal conflict to happen. However, the current Aslan was united, with high morale.
It was not possible for Arbiter to not be anxious, as Atlantis had yet to state their position. This sword was hanging over the coalition forces, and could come swinging down at any time.
But at this time, a declaration shocked the whole Milky Way Alliance in an instant.
Manalasuo declared war on the Aslan Empire!
After reorganizing the Sirius Star, Manalasuo could not help but strike. The three strongest empires had come out: Arbiter, Maya, Manalasuo. Whoever conquered Aslan would have a say in the future Milky Way Alliance.
Who would rule over the whole galaxy? There was no clear winner, as no country had the ability to do so, be it the current Manalasuo or whoever. But to take the center stage and to have more resources, that was a possibility.
In actual fact, Manalasuo was very strong. If given time to digest the resources they had received, they would make a tremendous leap.
An hour after Manalasuo’s declaration, the Darkness Empire gave the same declaration towards Aslan as well.
This caused Aslan, who was facing tremendous pressure, to fall into chaos. There was a limit to how much they could take. Manalasuo and the Darkness Empire were the strongest countries in recent times. With the addition of these two countries, it became a group of people trying to split Aslan for themselves. To be host, the only thing worth splitting up for the four of them was Aslan.
This was a vicious cycle. The Darkness Empire’s original aim was not Aslan, but after calculating the risk of attacking the Tita Star, and with their recent defeat, why not follow the crowd? The Darkness Empire was shameless, and they did not care about that. They were more concerned about practical gains. As opposed to a fight to the death with the Solar System and the Tita Star, why not join in on this feast?
However, this was something the Aslan Empire could not bear.
In the royal chambers, all of Aslan’s leaders were gathered. No one has any good ideas to deal with this situation. Even against only Arbiter and Maya, Aslan could only drag it out and wait for a miracle. However, Manalasuo and the Darkness Empire’s appearance had destroyed all hope for Aslan.
Manalasuo’s fleet had just set off, while the Darkness Empire’s fleet was not ready, but the news itself was fatal enough.
Everyone looked at Aina. All along, Aina had led the people of Aslan through this war. The key figures knew who had started this war, but that person was dead, and the person who needed to shoulder all of this was Aina, the youngest queen. She had to mature in the flames of war… perhaps even die in the flames of war.
Tactics and morale?
These were completely useless now. Aina could die, but as the leader of the country, she could not let the countless people of Aslan die with her. This was her final responsibility.
She had tried her best.
Before the gazes of everyone, Aina stood up. “Everyone has tried their best in this war, but it is pointless to carry on… ”
Aina’s eyes were red, but she was holding back her tears. She had to be strong in this moment, and till the end.
The room was silent. The Aslan Empire, the Milky Way Alliance’s strongest country, was one step away from becoming a prisoner. Ambition and desire were what drove human progress, but at the same time, so did bringing about the downfall of humans.
But there was no point in knowing this now.
In conclusion, the Aslan Empire could only surrender… Perhaps there was a chance if they lived. If this continued, the Aslan Empire would be completely destroyed, wiped out.
“Let us now vote. Those who agree, raise your hand,” Aina said.
The people in the room slowly raised their hands. They all knew that this was the greatest humiliation in the Aslan Empire’s history, and once the vote went through, the Aslan Empire would be no more.
Huiyin did not raise her hand, but it did not affect the final decision. In the end, everyone’s eyes were on Aina. The results were in, and it did not matter if Aina raised her hand. It just showed her attitude towards this.
At this moment, the door flew open. Angela rushed in. As Huiyin’s secretary, she knew of the strict rules, but nothing could stop her now. Everyone’s eyes were on Angela, who was gasping for air.
“Your Majesty, the Solar System Federation has joined in!!!”
Everyone was shocked, and after that, their hearts sank. G*ddamn it, there were not just one or two back stabbers… but it no longer mattered.
“The Solar System-Tita alliance has just announced that they will reinforce us!”
Everyone was shocked. This… everyone knew that Aslan was in a tough situation. If they joined in now, they would be implicated. Four major empires working together, making the strongest force in the Milky Way Alliance. Once dragged in, there would be nothing left of them.
This news sent shock waves throughout the Milky Way Alliance. The empires were expanding too much, and the various countries were either trying to change, like the Maacah Republic, or trying to loot amidst the chaos, or simply watching.
However, this pessimistic attitude could continue no longer. If this continued, once Aslan was destroyed, the stage would be set, and humans would enter an age of endless war. This was something Wang Zheng had to stop. The future enemies of humans must not be themselves.
In the highest power structure of the new Solar System-Tita alliance, Wang Zheng had the greatest influence. Mu Sen and Ye Bingwen would support him unconditionally. Meng Ao, as a representative of Earth, would follow Wang Zheng. Meng Tian had some influence as well. For Mars, Odin had communicated with the rest. Lie Wuqing had expressed his support for Wang Zheng’s decision, and in this situation, Drachmach could only follow the majority.
