Starsea Fleet: Age of the Lord

Feng Mo wanted them to see this firsthand—proof of the Federation's so-called non-proliferation of T5 starships, proof that the Star Annihilation Cannon technology wasn't as secure as they claimed. Feng Mo didn't post it to the public Star Network as a courtesy, a gesture that might smooth things over with the Federation in the future.

Just as Feng Mo aboard Fengshen arrived in the Storm System, he received a message from Gu Jun.

"Xiao Mo, you handled this perfectly. Don't spread it further. The Federation will hold an emergency meeting shortly, and within an hour, I guarantee you'll get a satisfying answer."

At the same time, Feng Mo's Spark System panel displayed new missions. Upon checking, Feng Mo's expression grew resolute.

[Mission: Replace Snow Eagle Empire as one of the Seventeen Great Empires in the Federation. Reward: T5 Black Star Battle Armor upgrade schematics, Level 4 Perfect Gene Serum]

[Temporary Mission: Weaken the Council Families of the Snow Eagle Empire. Reward: 5,000 points, T5 Stegosaurus-class Star Cruiser Blueprint x1]

These tasks confirmed which noble families were likely targeting him, though he didn't yet have a clear target, so he'd wait for further word from Uncle Gu Jun.

When Fengshen arrived at the battlefield, the confrontation between the two fleets had reached a fevered pitch. It was now a contest of endurance and supplies, where the home advantage of the Storm Fleet was undeniable. With Fengshen's arrival, the tide was set to turn.

"Scan for enemy T5 starships. Prepare the T5 Star Annihilation Cannon and charge all four antimatter energy main cannons!"

Fengshen's radar quickly located the T5 starship that had attacked Orca and locked onto it.

"Commander, the main cannons are fully charged and ready!" Han Peipei called from behind Feng Mo.

"All four main cannons, target the enemy T5 starship—fire! Once the Annihilation Cannon is ready, fire without further orders!"

As Feng Mo finished, four blue beams shot toward the enemy T5 starship. The antimatter energy cannons and neutron cannons were second only to the Star Annihilation Cannon in destructive power among T5 weapons.

The beams struck the enemy's energy shield, shattering it entirely before piercing the armor. Although not fatal, the real killing blow came from the brown beam that followed—the T5 Star Annihilation Cannon. This was the second tier of the cannon's power, which no typical T5 starship could withstand. Feng Mo had carefully set up the attack to ensure the shield was down before delivering the fatal strike.

The brown beam drilled through the enemy T5 starship, tearing through two additional T4 ships lined up behind it, their shields instantly shredded.

One shot, three kills! Such is the terrifying power of the T5 Star Annihilation Cannon!

With the enemy's T5 starship destroyed, the battle had effectively reached its end. Kongxiang and Orca unleashed waves of drones in a saturation strike, wiping out the remaining opposition.

The post-battle cleanup began, with Feng Mo claiming all spoils for himself. The starship wreckage, once refurbished, would yield nearly a thousand T4 starships, ensuring Alisa would be busy for the foreseeable future.

Once the battle was concluded, Feng Mo uploaded the entire battle record to the Federation's database as a show of loyalty, demonstrating that both he and the Storm Kingdom were committed members of the Starsea Human Federation. Sharing the battle footage symbolized respect toward the Federation, making it clear that the Federation owed him a proper explanation.

This situation had to be resolved to Feng Mo's satisfaction, although the size of the scapegoat and punishment to be handed out remained to be seen.

At that moment, in the Federation Council's virtual meeting hall, the atmosphere was tense, with council members embroiled in fierce debate. On behalf of the Yunshan Empire, Representatives Nuo Li and Gu Jun were relentless, hammering the Snow Eagle Empire's representatives, who were visibly struggling to keep up.

"Take a good look! Is this the original purpose for which the Starsea Federation was founded? A Star Annihilation Cannon aimed at our own people—where is the law? Where is the order? Federation law explicitly prohibits any empire from possessing T5 starships and Star Annihilation Cannons, so how do you explain this?"

"Don't bother with excuses claiming that the Snow Eagle Empire had no knowledge of this T5 starship. I'm not here for excuses. What I need now is for the Snow Eagle Empire to tell us what price it's willing to pay!"

"If this matter isn't handled properly, the Federation will become a laughingstock. In light of this incident, the Radiant Empire, the Heavens Empire, and the Yunshan Empire are voicing their distrust in the Federation's laws. This is a trust crisis, and Snow Eagle Empire must give everyone an answer!"

Gu Jun's words were forceful and unwavering. Though he didn't directly state that mishandling this would lead to the Federation's collapse, his words implied as much.

The Starsea was momentarily calm, but the Eastern Orc Tribes and Southern Mechanical Factions were still poised for conflict with the Federation. If the three empires were to clash with the Snow Eagle Empire, the Federation itself might indeed be at risk.

Federation Chancellor Si Chen, also aware of the high stakes, knew that the Snow Eagle Empire had crossed a line. There was no way such a powerful fleet of "black-flagged" T5 ships could exist without the approval of the imperial council.

The Snow Eagle Empire had allowed its noble families to field over two thousand rogue starships, including a T5 black-flagged warship. Such forces could conquer several star systems in the Uncharted Seas.

This all stemmed from self-interest. Feng Mo's establishment of the Storm Kingdom and control over four star systems had encroached on the Snow Eagle Empire's interests, prompting their attempt to eliminate him.

The plan had been thorough and almost impeccable—if only they'd succeeded. Now, they'd failed and handed over the evidence, making retribution inevitable.

As the Snow Eagle Empire's representatives floundered, Si Chen stood up and declared, "The Federation's founding purpose is to shield humanity and inspire progress. Now it's steeped in turmoil. The Snow Eagle Empire needs to provide a proper answer."

The Chancellor's words signaled that the matter was settled; it was now only a question of reparations and the size of the scapegoat.

The ensuing deliberation took three hours. Shortly after the battle

ended, Feng Mo received a brief message from Gu Jun: "It's done!"
