Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Let's end this sooner rather than later. If the war with the Star Alliance ends prematurely, the Empire will be finished. I don't want to see the Star Alliance people riding roughshod over us."

……

In a certain player discussion group.

[That video was posted anonymously, who did it?]

To be honest, I was the one who blew up the Heimdall!

【Bullshit!】

According to reliable sources, this attack was carried out by beings from another time.

What did you say?

Is it true, did my wife do it?

System message: Player [Fierce Demon Realm Man] has been removed from the group chat.

【…】

[Well done! ANR is clearly my wife!]

System message: Player [Autumn Waters] has been removed from the group chat.

[The green-hat privilege dog is despicable]

As a person of justice, I must stand up and shout today...

System message: Player [Super Robot Wars] has been removed from the group chat.

[Pah, that's enough, I'm taking off my skirt.]

【Pshaw, I'm going to look at my wife's doujinshi】

【呸】*N

The huge discussion group was suddenly empty.

Indeed, it's better to discuss important matters on the forum, at least there are no access control dogs there.

[It's true, it was done by people from another time. My friend told me that they took a spaceship to the Maple Flower region a few days ago.]

[I didn't say anything before because I was afraid the information would be leaked]

Don't believe them, they're just slandering the Time-Space Guild. This was clearly done by the Array Guild.

[Exactly! You members of the Array Guild dare to do it but not admit it!]

Grass!

The members of the Array Guild were stunned.

How did it become our doing again?

A heated argument quickly erupted on the forum.

Having successfully returned to the hyperspace realm, Warhammer led the charge, accompanied by a group of henchmen to create confusion. Whether you believe it or not, it's better to be exposed later.

At this moment, in the distant Selene military industrial zone.

The previous afternoon, the allied forces led by the second prince launched their third attack on the Kadomo region.

They encountered fierce resistance once again.

The defensive line, which stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers and consisted of intermittent sections, demonstrated astonishing firepower.

The Second Prince's side made great sacrifices to finally capture a base planet, but reinforcements from the flank forced them to abandon the planet.

The Battle of Kadomo has been ongoing for a week since October 21.

The total number of casualties on both sides is nearly one million ordinary soldiers.

The number of civilians killed or injured who were unable to evacuate in time exceeded eight figures.

The number of warships sunk exceeded three thousand.

However, the Second Prince's side failed to even break through the first line of defense, and the end of this battle seemed far off.

The second prince, who was troubled by this matter, never expected to receive such a "shocking" news.

"The Heimdall was sunk."

Clang.

The second prince stared blankly at the news sent by his confidant.

He seemed unaware that what he was holding had slipped from his hand and fallen to the ground.

"This news has been reported by several authoritative media outlets, along with accompanying videos."

The second prince opened the video and quietly watched it from beginning to end.

When he looked up, his face was deathly pale, and his once clear voice had become hoarse: "Have they contacted us yet?"

"No," the confidant shook his head.

"Contact them; I need to know if this is true or not."

The second prince clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

Beep beep—

"The Heimdall..." the second prince asked bluntly.

"Your Highness, the news you're seeing doesn't reflect the truth. Those reports are all inaccurate. Although we were attacked, the Heimdall is perfectly fine. The media just loves to exaggerate..."

The second prince sneered, "In that case, can you arrive in Selene within ten days as originally planned?"

"Well..." The person who answered paused for a moment, "The vanguard shouldn't have much of a problem, but the central army might be delayed for a while."

"So how many days will this be delayed?" The Second Prince refrained from directly launching into a tirade.

His hands trembled slightly.

"Half, half a month."

boom!

"Do you think I'm stupid?!" The Second Prince suddenly stood up and roared at the 3D projection on the table. "Fine, since you say the Heimdall is fine, send me a video, and then have Melkaren and Rowan come and talk to me."

The people on the other end fell silent.

The Second Prince's heavy breathing echoed in the room.

After a long while, the person on the other end said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. The Heimdall has sunk, and Mei Karen and Rowan have also perished in the explosion. We have also lost more than 300 ships, including five battleships and twelve cruisers. The core force of the Fifth Expeditionary Force has been reduced to nearly half."

As expected, as expected...

"Ahhh-"

The second prince, like a raging beast, pounded the table furiously: "Why weren't you told about something so important right away? Why, damn it, why! I actually had to rely on media reports to find out the actual situation, haha, how ridiculous, haha..."

"Your Highness the Second Prince..."

"Useless! You're all useless! It's one thing that you haven't been able to take the Kadomo region, but you're supposed to be a complete expeditionary force, yet you can't even hold your own planet-class mothership! Useless!"

The second prince, who was dancing wildly, laughed loudly. After the violent impact, the communication on the bracelet on his right hand was suddenly cut off.

The second prince stood there stunned for a long time, then said to his confidant with a gloomy face, "Go and call everyone over. We need to hold an emergency meeting now!"

"Yes."

A dark cloud hung over the hearts of everyone around the Second Prince.

Given the unfavorable progress of the war, the soil for this dark cloud to grow became even more fertile.

Half an hour later, the second prince received another message.

"The people who attacked the Heimdall were very likely from beyond time."

"What did you say!"

The second prince grabbed the messenger by the neck.

They even shook it twice more forcefully.

"Ungrateful wretches!" The Second Prince's teeth chattered as he glared at them, his eyes bloodshot. "I gave them five trillion biru, and this is how they repay me? They've gone too far! I'm going to take men and slaughter them all, wipe out all these scum who are getting in my way!"

Vesa said urgently, "Your Highness, this is not the time to act rashly. If we retreat from the Selene military industrial zone, we may not be able to return even if we pay ten times the price."

The second prince was furious: "They betrayed my trust! They must be punished! Otherwise, what will become of my authority!"

You trusted a hammer.

He both condoned his subordinates' assassination of their leader and secretly encouraged the rebels in the Kuroshio region to weaken them.

It's not surprising that things turned out this way.

Vesa had no choice but to continue persuading him, "Your Highness, our primary objective is still the Kadomo region. Once we break through the Kadomo region's defenses, the entire Selene military industrial zone will be under our iron hooves. Then we can deal with the Hyperdimensional Realm in no time."

"Yes, Your Highness, with the great cause at hand, we must not let small things cause us to lose sight of the bigger picture."

Others joined in the persuasion.

The fighting has already reached this point, the enemy won't let you leave.

After repeated persuasion, the second prince finally gave up the idea.

The attendees left with heavy hearts.

The second prince, sitting on the sofa with a worried expression, drank a glass of wine and said to the guard, "Do you also think I'm stupid?"

"No, I wouldn't dare!" The guard quickly knelt down.

"Sigh." The Second Prince sighed. "I have to do this. I have to make a statement. If I remain absolutely calm, they won't think I'm wise; instead, they'll think I'm cold-blooded. Sigh."

The second prince drank another cup.

"..."

The guards dared not raise their heads.

He had a vague feeling that what the second prince said was wrong.

Judging from His Highness the Second Prince's behavior just now, the nobles and ministers may not think that he is cold-hearted, but they will think that he is impulsive, easily angered, and brainless.

As a guard, I don't know, I dare not ask, and I dare not say.
