Chapter 1979 - 1566: Enemy Attack (First Update)
"That’s great! Then let’s strike while the iron is hot and annihilate Star Ring City!"
At this moment, Brunan was also full of confidence, with a trace of excitement in his words. All the frustrations they had suffered in the Negative Universe could finally be avenged.
Vice Clan Leader Mogasi and others, one after another, shouted with fighting spirit.
"Flatten Star Ring City!"
In an instant, the entire starry sky, with trillions of Eternal Sleep Clan troops, received their orders. The neural pathways of every Spirit Toucher lit up, quickly converging to form formations.
Their momentum was overwhelming, shrouding the entire starry sky, sending shivers down one’s spine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the Heart of Forbidden Prison.
Su Mo was not piloting a Mecha. He moved alone in the narrow corridors of the fortress, dressed in a VI-generation Bio Armor.
Since repairs were not yet complete, many parts of the narrow corridors were exposed, with various lines crossing through.
The temporarily connected lights flickered erratically.
The corridor was so quiet that it felt eerie.
Just then, a pair of crimson eyes lit up on the exposed top above, slowly approaching.
Su Mo stopped his footsteps.
Suddenly, a distorted figure lunged down from above, and he raised his hand to swipe it away.
Bang!
In an instant, a worker, grotesquely deformed with hardened skin and a twisted, fallen face, crashed into a nearby wall. The immense force shattered its body, and viscous blood splattered everywhere.
Su Mo glanced at the deformed worker and sighed slightly. However, he still raised his bracelet to record it.
He quickly checked the real-time shared cleaning record. Kendi and others were highly efficient, and the elimination rate had reached 87.3%.
But the deeper they went, the harder it was to clear, as they hid too deep.
Bzzz~
At that moment, suddenly Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated.
Su Mo looked at it and seeing it was from Tilo, he connected the call.
"What’s wrong?"
"Something big has happened. Star Ring City has issued the highest-level war warning; the main forces of the Eternal Sleep Clan have launched an attack."
Tilo replied with an extremely serious expression.
Su Mo was stunned, feeling incredibly unbelievable that the Eternal Sleep Clan actually attacked? But Su Mo quickly calmed down and immediately asked.
"Has the front line fallen? Has Radiant City been destroyed?"
You must know that more than half of Star Ring City’s main forces are still on the front line. I hadn’t heard about the front line being attacked before? Were they quietly wiped out?
"According to the information we’ve received now, the front line has not been attacked. The main forces of the Eternal Sleep Clan made a rapid assault straight to Star Ring City, and their forces didn’t even hide their tracks. Specialized covert reconnaissance equipment captured relevant images, which I’m showing you."
Tilo displayed a video for Su Mo.
Through the presented video, one could see the Spirit Touchers, Wind Shuttle-class ships, Dandelion Fortress, and various giant strategic fortresses swarming and attacking, covering the starry sky.
There was no end in sight, impossible to estimate the enemy’s numbers.
Not long after, a Spirit Toucher’s head approached the video screen.
Crackle~
The screen turned to static in the next second.
Su Mo, seeing this, felt an increasing headache. Just then, he suddenly thought of something and hastily checked the electronic bracelet information.
To Su Mo’s surprise, he discovered that he hadn’t received Icaroya’s conscription information, something that had never happened before.
"Su Mo?"
Tilo asked, seeing Su Mo silent for a long time.
"Sorry! I got a bit lost in thought."
Su Mo apologized, snapping back to his senses.
"What should we do now?"
Tilo calmly asked.
"I’m heading back to Immortal Blade, leaving some of Kendi’s men to continue clearing, and the rest are to be called back. All personnel enter battle readiness to await further instructions. Our task now is to hold the Heart of Forbidden Prison Fortress."
Su Mo issued orders in a deep voice. Although the Eternal Sleep Clan was attacking Star Ring City, as the saying goes, when the nest falls, no egg remains intact.
The Heart of Forbidden Prison was sure to be impacted, and none of the countries in the Third Birthplace could escape this calamity. Even their main stars hadn’t moved to the Third Fertility Star Sea and were still near Star Ring City.
"Okay!"
Tilo replied solemnly.
Star Ring City·Administrative Council Building.
Blaring alarms continued to sound, and a multitude of figures rushed about in a flurry, with all personnel being mobilized.
At this moment, Goli, wearing Bio Armor, headed towards Icaroya’s office.
Goli soon arrived at the door of Icaroya’s office, which was not closed.
One could see Icaroya sitting at the desk, handling documents with composure.
Goli hurriedly walked up to Icaroya, her expression grave, and said, "Sister, the enemy is about to attack."
"I know. Is there a problem?"
Icaroya replied indifferently.
"It’s not just that, sister. The enemy’s numbers this time exceed any previous invasion. And with nearly half of our troops at the front line, the situation is extremely urgent now."
Goli bit her lip, reminding Icaroya, seeing her indifferent reaction.
"Hmph, a bunch of jumping clowns."
Icaroya replied coldly.
"Sister, if it were usual times, I might not be so worried. But given the current situation, as you have seen, the nations already hold a grudge against us. Coupled with the Negative Energy Tide Impact, internal turmoil is constant, and they’re a mess themselves. At that time, the troops we can conscript will be less than ideal. We need to transfer the Star Gate to the rear and quickly recall the front line Legion."
Goli advised anxiously.
Unfortunately, Icaroya rejected Goli’s suggestion. She coldly replied, "No need."
"Sister! The enemy’s numbers truly exceed our capacity. And if we don’t quickly redeploy front line forces now, it will be too late when the enemy is at our doorstep!"
Goli became increasingly anxious, unable to understand why Icaroya insisted on this course of action.
"I said there’s no need. Do what you should, and don’t worry about the rest. If they want war, then let there be war! Convey my orders: Star Ring City is to advance and prepare for engagement!"
Icaroya resolutely delivered her command.
"I understand. Especially if you’re so determined, I will fight alongside you to the end, no matter the result."
Goli slowly bowed her head and replied softly.

Earth Star·Federal Government Council Building.
Numerous councilmen, with faces full of fear and anxiety, spoke to Alles.
"President, what should we do now? The Eternal Sleep Clan’s forces have already come."
"President, areas Y, B, J, and sixteen others have all reported emergencies. Due to the Negative Energy Tide, massive descent events are erupting, causing severe impacts and urgently requiring support!"
"President, Star Ring City has issued orders for us to muster forces and prepare for battle!"
