Chapter 754: Incorporation

“hello, Ad” When he saw the Eastern lue had as many military accomplishments If they were here it meant they didn’t need to fear pursuit by alien forces

“hello, President Austin Where are you and your entourage headed?” Lan Qing calreeted him

The Western President adopted a grieved expression “The alien planets have attacked our ar bastions The West has fallen into enemy hands and Europa has been occupied by our foes We’ve had no choice but to flee our homeland under threat of death We’re lucky to have run into you You’ve come as reinforcements?”

Lan Qing regarded hih you’re in any condition to fight You’ve witnessed the eneround?”

Sylva paused He didn’t want to continue this line of questioning For fear of unneeded trouble, for fear of judgement, he’d shut off all co back home

“They’re everywhere, Europa has fallen We were forced to run We can’t know the conditions on the planet now They’ve cut off all coht with you, Admiral, but do you think you’ll be able to help us take back our hoht-faced to the Eastern commander

“We have one bastion and five interstellar fleets,” Lan Qing answered “We plan to attack the alien planets in full force”

Sylva’s words were thick with gratitude “That’s excellent We’ll get out of your way, and congratulations on what’s sure to be a successful can, Admiral We’ll wait for your triumphant return to present you with our most sincere thanks”

“No need” Lan Qing replied

“H’s eye

The An Lun super soldier continued “Iyour vessels”

“What?” Sylva stared at hi

“We’re surrounded, sir” The colonel at the President’s side had just noticed the Eastern shi+ps pulling up on either flank They hadn’t considered this possibility since the others were military vessels and not aliens

Sylva’s capitulatory façade fell away, and he faced Lan Qing with indignation “Ad of this?”

Lan Qing’s voice was cold as ice “So you do knohere you are As President should you be en route to flee your own nation? You cannot face the eneh unity Toward this end we’re requisitioning your shi+ps We will ensure your safety, but your people are co under our control”

“This is unacceptable” Sylva slammed his fist on the desk in front of him These shi+ps were meant to ensure the future of the Austin family How could he just let theiven back All of the wealth that had been painstakingly saved by his family would be robbed

“It doesn’t matter what you find unacceptable Lower your shi+elds and stop your engines or you will be regarded as an enemy This is how it is” The connection was dropped

Sylva Austin, President of the Western Alliance, stared gaping at a black screen He erupted in a string of curses How could anyone have anticipated that they would run into an arant as this Admiral?

But what choice did he have? They couldn’t revolt There were five fleets of the East’s best soldiers just outside Lan Qing was piloting a bastion What could he do with his sees?

But he couldn’t stoive himself and his family to these pirates! If he did, his family would be lost

A wild a ferocious expression overcame him He snapped his head toward the colonel “How likely are we to break free? Even if it’s just us”

The colonel opened his runted and collapsed to the floor

He gasped “Mr Austin, you…”
