Chapter 582: The Counterattack Begins


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


In an empty area of the universe, not far away from the large army of the six DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps, a huge G.o.doran fleet was hidden behind a barren planet. Various battles.h.i.+ps were densely packed to form neat rows. This was one of the temporary formations created for Operation Hodellas.


On the screen of the command s.h.i.+p, the coordinates of all the mothers.h.i.+ps of DarkStar were marked in red on the star map. The six mothers.h.i.+ps were slowly moving toward the ambush area, and it was those enemy troops that were the objectives of the G.o.dorans.


“Target is approaching ambush site. Estimated time of arrival is 11 hours and 25 minutes.”


The fleet commander reported the situation to the upper echelons, and he was one of the members in the War Bureau who was aware of the ident.i.ty of their target.


In order to prevent any leaks, every commander responsible for Operation Hodellas had been thoroughly screened. Only those that were absolutely loyal knew the target of their operation.


The fleet commander was also secretly excited at the thought of launching a counterattack against DarkStar. He was an old-fas.h.i.+oned, pureblood G.o.doran official with deep-rooted hostility toward DarkStar. He looked forward to removing this tumor every day.


This was an important operation, and to be selected as one of the commanders by the upper echelons was undoubtedly an honor. The sense of responsibility on his shoulders was also extremely heavy.


After completing his report to the upper echelons, the fleet commander then contacted the leaders of all the other formations to exchange information. Their strategy was to perform simultaneous strikes on all DarkStar units, so there was a need for communication.


After confirming the operation time, another commander raised a topic within the encrypted military communication channel.


“Do all of you know the source of intelligence for this operation? When I asked about the relations.h.i.+p with the party, I was actually told that it was labelled as a secret of the highest level.”


“Highest level secret? Seems like the channels our superiors have for obtaining information are really mysterious.”


In the eyes of those senior officers, G.o.dora had already been warring with DarkStar for so many years to no avail. To suddenly obtain a set of coordinates for the DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps, there was some strangeness to this whole situation, so they could not help but wonder about the source of this intelligence. However, no one could inquire about the specifics.


“I do have some information though. I heard that this counterattack was organized by G.o.dora because they managed to buy some information from a mysterious person. Otherwise, the War Bureau would not have been able to stop DarkStar leading them by their nose.”


“Mysterious person?”


“That person can actually monitor the coordinates of DarkStar. Haha. Could it be that there’s a traitor among the upper echelons of DarkStar?”


Everyone shared their views, secretly curious about the mysterious person who provided the intelligence.


Who was this sacred person who single-handedly provoked such a huge war? They were the hero of G.o.dora!


After ending their communications, the respective commanders began handing down their new orders.


“It’s about time. Inform the mercenary fleets on standby. Tell them to cooperate with our attack.



During this standby period, there was little to do, but the players were not idle, often looking for the mercenaries to improve favorability, trying out new tasks, as well as discovering new and interesting gossip. They did not require Han Xiao to pay close attention to them.


Han Xiao took the chance to visit the different s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps in the fleet, interacting with the players and continuing to harvest experience from them. He also looked for the various heads of the large mercenary groups to exchange pleasantries. The rest of his time was used to make machinery.


In such a manner, a few days pa.s.sed, and Gureja called over all the commanders. The orders from G.o.dora had been pa.s.sed down, and it was finally time for them to start the mission.


The mercenary fleet sped up, arriving at the predetermined location for the ambush. The Black Star Army followed as well.


Returning to his BlackLight Stealth, Han Xiao accepted the private communication from G.o.dora.


“Black Star, the operation is about to begin. We need you to control your Artificial Intelligence that has snuck in to create chaos for the enemy.”


“Got it.” Han Xiao nodded in response.


To have the whistleblower cause a ruckus within, that was a simple task.


“The remuneration for this employment has been notarized with the Mercenary Alliance and the official employment mission sent to the file of the Black Star Army.”


Opening the Mercenary Group interface, the official employment of G.o.dora had been authorized with the name Operation Hodellas.


A war employment was not a private transaction and needed to be recorded in the Mercenary Alliance. After it was completed, a large number of Credibility Points would then be added to raise the Credibility Rating of the Mercenary Group. Furthermore, the mission details would be added to their mission files.


This was also the first war-level employment for the Black Star Army.


The interface popped up a notification of the corresponding hire, with a total of 18,000,000 experience as well as 1500 Favorability for the G.o.doran Faction.


As the Army Commander, his remuneration was the highest, receiving 3.4 million Enas. In addition, the officers and mercenaries would be remunerated individually.


This was especially so for the players. Other than Black Star’s mission of [Black Star Army: The First Battle], all of them also triggered the mission [Operation Hodellas – War Employment]. They all received substantial experience and monetary rewards, although they were a far cry from his own.


This was a war-level employment, so while the players only got to drink a bit of soup from the pot, the rewards were far beyond their current standards, which was extremely generous.


On the forums, the tens of thousands of players were in high spirits, posting to show off the many rewards of their first battle upon joining the Black Star Army. This piqued everyone’s interest in the Black Star Army further.


This large-scale employment allowed players to understand that they shared common interests with their faction, thus helping them strengthen their sense of belonging. Han Xiao had led them to partic.i.p.ate in the war for this purpose.


Because most players desired to take on a ‘role’, the various influences in the game allowed them to fulfill their dreams and fantasies. In order for the Black Star Army to become the faction akin to their ‘first love’, Han Xiao had to utilize plotlines, feelings, interests, and other means.


When Han Xiao first set up his faction, he had already made this plan.



In the vast universe, the mercenaries stayed by their ambush point. It would only take a short jump for them to reach their battlefield position. During this time, the enemy’s actions were monitored through the coordinates on the star map, which were shared by G.o.dora.


The formation of the Black Star Army was placed behind the rest, as they were not partic.i.p.ating in the frontal attack of the DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps.


Inside his BlackLight Stealth, Han Xiao watched the actions of DarkStar through the feedback provided by Risda.


His monitor was different. While others could only see the coordinates on the star map, he could see the internal conditions of the mothers.h.i.+p. At this moment, the members of the DarkStar fleet were still unaware of their impending doom, conducting their businesses as usual.


Attacking Planet Aquamarine and giving me such huge losses… it’s time for you to pay your debts.


Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.


As time progressed, the six DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps finally entered the ambush site.


They’re here!


Han Xiao’s eyes gleamed.


“Attack!” Gureja’s command spread through the entire army in an instant.


The next instant, the joint mercenary fleet jumped simultaneously. The universe outside of their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps turned into flowing streams of light as they activated their hyperdrive.


In just a few seconds, the fleet had crossed a long distance, and the undefended DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps appeared in front of their eyes.


On the other side, streams of light appeared as the G.o.doran fleet emerged. They attacked from both sides, instantly surrounding the DarkStar fleet.


The ambush sites for both were out of DarkStar’s radar detection range, and they appeared at the same time, catching them off guard.


Without another word, G.o.dora and the mercenaries began to open fire, and countless cannons and lasers bombarded the six DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps. With such deliberate calculations, the troops in the mothers.h.i.+p were immediately thrown into chaos.


Inside the mothers.h.i.+p where Degulish was located, the lights turned red as they sounded the warning alarms.


The people on the s.h.i.+p were shocked, immediately rus.h.i.+ng to their positions. The mothers.h.i.+p was being rocked around from the explosions, causing people to fall from time to time.


“What’s happening‽”


Degulish had an expression of anger as he called for the observation equipment. When he saw that the attackers were from G.o.dora, he lost his composure immediately.


How could it be G.o.dora‽


Did G.o.dora plan to ambush us?


How could they know our location‽


The projection of their Head of Intelligence appeared on the screen, with a face of worry. “Degulish, we’re being ambushed, and the enemy is well prepared. Not just our fleet, the other DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps in the other Star Zones are also under attack! G.o.dora has planned this for a long time. They’ve cracked our stealth equipment and grasped our movements!”


This was the first time that DarkStar had been attacked by G.o.dora while in stealth mode!


This ability to go into stealth mode was DarkStar’s biggest reliance. Now that it had failed, Degulish immediately realized the seriousness of their situation.


“Send orders to all fleets. Do not engage and seek opportunities to breakthrough. This is G.o.dora’s trap, and it is an important life or death situation. We cannot fight head on with them!”


Degulish issued the order.


There was no warning of G.o.dora’s attack, and the incident happened too quickly. The upper echelons of DarkStar had no time to react, and they did not even have time to think about how G.o.dora had managed to grasp their whereabouts.


Right now, their top priority was to escape!


If G.o.dora had come with a plan, DarkStar would not be able to stand up to the attack and could only escape.


However, the command was not sent out. A notification on the communication interface showed that the link had been cut off.


Not only Degulish, but the entire DarkStar mothers.h.i.+ps had their connection cut off from the outside world.


This was because Degulish was residing in the mothers.h.i.+p that Risda was controlling.


Risda had totally cut off their connection to the outside world.


The whistleblower had begun his actions!
