Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"What about our own home? Other cosmic races are taking advantage of this situation. Even if the Astral Plane is destroyed, it will only benefit others in the end. It's a losing proposition."

……

This coalition is not a monolithic entity; they came together to divide up the wealth of the astral realm, but now they are in serious danger of losing money or even going bankrupt.

"Then let's hold out for another five days. If there's no significant turn of events, we'll retreat and let the Star Families do whatever they want."

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Finally, the allied forces decided on a five-day observation period. If the Star Families did not provide a satisfactory answer within five days, they would withdraw their troops.

Upon receiving the news, the Great Savior snorted coldly.

"These guys really can't hold their tempers."

The Great Savior is also waiting for the right moment. The best-case scenario now is that the Star Hunting Grounds fall, and the Star Emperor personally goes there to provide support.

Then the Star Familiars in the main city can continue causing trouble, and the Star Evil God in the hunting grounds can summon the Great Savior through a ritual. They will unite to kill the Star Emperor and control him...

In the Star Hunting Grounds

The base was subjected to a fierce attack by the monster army, and the already small number of tens of thousands of Star Army soldiers were unable to withstand the onslaught.

Therefore, they could only request assistance from the Astral City. The Astral City, which already had a small number of troops, was also sent to the hunting grounds to provide support, but this still could not completely solve the problem.

Shortly afterward, the Star Emperor announced the recall of a portion of the troops from the front lines to provide support.

This significantly weakened the fighting power of the Star Army at the front lines, while also easing the pressure on the Allied Forces, allowing them to hold out for longer.

"Hahaha, that's great! The Astral Plane has withdrawn some of its troops. There must be a major upheaval in the Astral Plane. Let's hold on a little longer!"

"Once the Astral Plane collapses completely, we can divide up its wealth, and our race will become even stronger!"

……

The allied forces were overjoyed to receive the good news from the Star Families, which gave them hope for the future.

Inside the royal palace of the Star Realm

The Crown Prince and Qin Yu have both arrived here. The more chaotic things become in the Star Realm, the more it means that the Star Families are about to launch the final stage of their offensive against the Star Realm. Therefore, they must discuss and come up with a more detailed strategy.

"Your Majesty, some of the inhabitants of the Astral Plane have been incited, and some of them may have become parasites of the Star Families. The situation is not optimistic. Even in the military, it is not necessarily 100% safe. These Star Families are too cunning."

The Crown Prince has recently come to realize how terrifying the Star Families are. Their combat strength may not be great, but their ability to control and incite hatred between races and their minds are unmatched.

If not careful, one race could become a tool for war with another race because of their own pace.

"The more critical the situation, the closer we are to the final battle, and the more ready we are to fight back."

Qin Yu had already come up with a final plan.

"However, we don't have many troops at the moment, and we simply don't have enough manpower to deal with those Star Families."

"Once the controllers of the Star Families are eliminated, they will collapse on their own. Your Highness, please rest assured. Now, all His Majesty needs to do is go to the Star Hunting Grounds to support the army there in the battle..."

"If His Majesty the Emperor leaves the main city, and if the main city falls into chaos, we will truly have no way to resolve the situation."

The eldest prince had no idea what Qin Yu was thinking. Based on what he knew, he felt that there was something wrong with the plan.

"Well..."

With a slight smile, Qin Yu transformed into the Star Emperor before the First Prince's astonished gaze...

Chapter 443: Did they fall into a trap?

When the Star Emperor saw Qin Yu transform into his appearance, he couldn't help but smile. He knew what Qin Yu's plan was all about.

While surprised, the eldest prince also vaguely understood Qin Yu's plan.

Within the Astral Capital City

Because of the conflict between outsiders and astral beings, the main city is far from peaceful, and many radical astral beings have formed groups to prepare to attack the outsiders who have settled in the astral realm.

Furthermore, with many troops drawn away from the hunting grounds battle, the main city was practically deserted.

The clansmen felt that their plan had entered its most critical moment.

"Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better. Next, we just need to wait for the Star Emperor to make his move. If he goes to the Star Hunting Grounds to provide support, then the Star Realm will truly enter its countdown to destruction..."

The Star Families, who were in charge of the turmoil in the main city, were extremely excited. They were quite proud that they had managed to turn such a powerful race into this.

Not long after, a dazzling light flashed from within the Star Palace and headed straight for the Star Hunting Grounds, accompanied by several Star Dragons dwelling in the Dragon Nest.

"Hahaha, the Star Emperor is gone, hahaha..."

Everything was proceeding as they had anticipated. The Star Families immediately sprang into action. With the Star Emperor absent, they could finally unbridledly control more Star People and then manipulate them into launching a rebellion.

In the Star Hunting Grounds

The monster army in the hunting grounds has spread throughout the entire army's encampment, and the Star Army has long been scattered by this army.

Even though the main city sent reinforcements, it was only a drop in the bucket. Unless the troops at the front were recalled, it would be difficult to deal with these rioting monsters.

Just as the Star Army was racking their brains over how to deal with these monsters, starlight descended, and several giant star dragons roared as they landed in front of them.

"Your Majesty the Emperor?!"

Upon seeing that it was the Star Emperor himself who had descended, their hope was rekindled.

The Star Emperor descended upon the Star Hunting Grounds, causing the Star Evil God to laugh wildly. The Great Savior's plan had perfectly predicted the Star Realm's response, and now they were summoning the Great Savior to descend.

The Star Families used the ritual altars they had prepared beforehand to begin summoning their great saviors from distant star systems.

"Hehehe, Astral Plane, you are already mine..."

The Great Savior, along with all his Star Families, was summoned to the Star Hunting Grounds.

In the Star Hunting Grounds, the battle finally turned around after the Star Emperor descended. The Star Emperor's powerful strength directly intimidated the monster army, and the Star Army was able to counterattack. However, this situation did not last long.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a dark purple mist descended from the distance, turning the once clear and bright Star Hunting Grounds into a gloomy place, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Within the black mist, ferocious creatures bared their fangs, and the Star Army saw only terrifying monsters appearing before their eyes.

The Great Savior and his evil minions all appeared, their only target being the Star Emperor.

"So it turns out that all of this was orchestrated by you evil gods. It seems I underestimated you."

Upon seeing these true masterminds, the Star Emperor couldn't help but sneer; it seemed a fierce battle was about to begin.

“Star Emperor, if you and your Star Army were here, we wouldn’t have jumped out so hastily. It’s just a pity that you delivered yourself to our door. You and your Star Realm will be taken by me.”

The Great Savior was very pleased with his flawless plan; the astral plane was about to become his possession.

"Is that so? It seems you've been planning this for a long time, devising a conspiracy against the Astral Plane."

"You're right. I revised this plan countless times before it was finally finalized. Now, prepare to die!"

The Great Savior and his subordinate evil gods joined forces to shroud the Star Emperor and his army in darkness. They then entered the darkness and besieged the Star Emperor within.

On the front lines

Although the Star Army had lost a significant number of troops, it was still able to suppress the allied forces.

However, the allied forces have caught their breath, and having learned of the Star Army's withdrawal, they have sent reinforcements. It can be said that their strength is now evenly matched.

Now they've decided to be more aggressive and wipe out the Astral army, severely weakening the Astral realm.

"Now our chance has come. Our army is strong enough to contend with the remaining Star Army. As long as we find an opportunity, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop, and the Star Boundary will also be severely weakened."

"It's easy for you to say. If we fail, we'll be the ones who suffer a huge loss."

"If all else fails, we can wait for the Astral Army to retreat again, then we can pursue them directly."

"Well, this is the safest approach."

While these people were having their meeting, news reached their ears that another part of the Star Army had withdrawn.

"Has another portion of the troops been withdrawn? Is that true?"

"It's true, our scouts saw it with their own eyes."

"Alright! It's time for our counterattack!"

The allied forces were overjoyed. The Star Army's combat strength had further declined, making this the perfect opportunity for them to launch a counterattack.

After the Star Army withdrew a portion of its forces, its combat effectiveness indeed decreased significantly. As a result, the Allied Forces mobilized their entire army, forcing the Star Army to fight and retreat simultaneously, which drove the Allied Forces even more frantic.

The commander of the Star Army couldn't help but smile when he saw the allied forces pursuing him so relentlessly.

"These guys are so gullible, they actually believe the army has withdrawn to the Astral Plane to provide support..."

In reality, the withdrawal was merely a plan between him and the Star Emperor. They pretended that the Star Realm was in trouble and had to withdraw troops to defend it, but in fact, they hid their troops, waiting for the allied forces to pursue the remaining troops and lure them into the ambush they had set up.

As expected, the alliance

The soldiers were fooled. When the Star Army retreated to the ambush area, the Allied Forces followed. For a moment, the Allied Forces thought that the Star Army was going to fight to the death.

But then, countless star armies suddenly appeared from all directions, completely encircling the allied forces.

"What?! Where did these star armies come from?!"

"Oh no! We've been scammed!"

The allied forces then realized that they had been tricked; the Star Army had never actually returned to the Astral Plane but had been hiding, waiting for them to take the bait.

"Damn it, what are those Star Familia guys doing?!"

"We have to get out of here!"

The allied forces, having fallen into the ambush, had no choice but to begin their breakout attempt. However, the Star Army would not let go of this opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

Star Hunting Ground

The Great Saviors have suppressed the Star Emperor, but for some reason, it feels like the Star Emperor has become weaker.

"Hehe, Star Emperor, it seems your strength is much weaker than I imagined."
