Legacy of the Void Fleet

Ch 562 (rewrite )

Vorrath and Kaelth

Good! Since he dares to show his face this time, we must guarantee that he doesn’t escape once again!

”Hmm, yes. One more thing. What about the Dark Angel Kingdom? Have they shown any reaction yet? Lucifer should already know about it, no?”

”Nothing particular has been detected from their side yet, Grand Admiral,” the admiral replied, shaking his head. ”Though, we have indeed seen Grand Commander Michael coming and going out of the castle.”

”Ohh, so that is still a sign that Lucifer is making a move as well, huh?” Kael spoke.

”Anyway, that has nothing to do with us! What we must ensure is that those two families don’t escape their fate! Pay attention to that, and ensure that if Lucifer’s fleet makes a move, we deliver our own response at that moment.”

”Yes, Grand Admiral!” The admiral nodded his head and replied.

”Good, then go and do the final checks before the battle starts!”

”Yes, Grand Admiral!”

The admiral left, leaving Grand Admiral Kael alone in his place.

With Grand Admiral Ryan leading the charge head-on, and Grand Admiral Anky leading the charge on that mission, with the Theocracy deploying one of the last bits of strength it has left, it is clear that they are already stretched thin and nearing their breaking point.

Saying that, Kael sighed.

Looks like it won’t be long before the fate of the Theocracy is decided.

Meanwhile, far away, in Holy Starlight City, on the Holy Celestial White Star, the core world of the Angel Theocracy...

Inside the Holy Cathedral...

Numerous bishops and popes could be seen seated in their official seats within the grand cathedral’s meeting hall. Virtual projections of Archangel Daemen, Archangel Lumiere, and Archangel Luther were also present.

All but one of the few remaining Archangels were present at this moment.

Sitting in the Supreme Chair at the centre of the meeting hall, Supreme Pope Zemrom finally spoke in a solemn tone.

”The enemies of our Theocracy are already at our core gates, and they could launch an attack at any moment. Especially on your side, Archangel Daemen. The safety and, ultimately, the survival of our Theocracy depend on you and your people. You must not let it fall, and you must remain highly alert.”

”If the Holy Flame Star falls, along with it...”

The Supreme Pope gazed deeply at Daemen without saying anything further, for he had already made his point.

”I will do my very best, Supreme Pope! Until my last breath, I will not let the frontline collapse any further and threaten our Theocracy!”

Archangel Daemen spoke solemnly, though he did not make any promises at this moment.

”Good.”

The Pope noticed this, but he didn’t comment any further on the topic.

”Archangel Luther, you are now leading the charge of the Third Grand Armada. I won’t go into any further details here. The fate of the Theocracy depends on you just as much as it does on Daemen, perhaps even more.”

”You must ensure that this risky operation is worth every penny! You must inflict catastrophic damage upon the Dark Angel Kingdom this time around. This is our one and only chance,” the Pope said solemnly.

”Though, there is one thing I want to tell you.”

The Pope’s gaze turned sharp as his eyes narrowed while looking at Luther. He continued, ”You are not allowed to let the Third Fleet be wiped out as well. If the situation turns bad, you must take the armada and escape, cutting our losses as much as possible! If you are unable to do that and allow the armada to fall, then you must remain with it!”

Archangel Luther frowned internally, but, gritting his teeth, he nodded his head without speaking a word.

”Archangel Lumiere, these will soon be the hardest times our Theocracy may ever face. There is a chance, perhaps even a high chance, that the humans, along with those Dark Angels, will try to sneak into our territory and launch an attack against us,” the Pope said heavily.

”With most of our forces deployed throughout the Theocracy’s core regions, only your Second Armada remains to protect the true foundation of our Theocracy.”

The Pope’s face turned solemn.

”So, if we are to face an attack, I hope you will hold the enemy back and not let them achieve whatever they wish!”

He then solemnly instructed her, ”And when you do deal with them, you are absolutely not allowed to actively attack or engage the human and Dark Angel forces. You must fight defensively, no matter what! Do you understand?”

The beautiful Archangel Lumiere, upon hearing this, opened her mouth wide in surprise. A purely defensive battle?

However, she dared not question the Pope’s orders at this moment and solemnly nodded her head. Upon giving it some thought, it made sense after all. If the enemy managed to advance that far into their core territory, there was no way her armada alone could defeat them!

”Soon, the Angels of Starlight will be arriving with Divine Envoys, and along with them will come our reinforcements! Our God has not forgotten His own people! He has given me a revelation. His forces will soon be here, and they will march upon our enemies and show them their godly might!”

”Until then, we must not fall, and we must hold our ground! These might be difficult days, but the future is bright under the shadow of the Divine Being, as it has always been!”

”For the Righteous and the One True God!”

The Pope stood up and solemnly declared.

”FOR THE RIGHTEOUS GOD!”

The others stood up and followed along.

”Very well! This meeting is adjourned! Everyone, go and prepare! Prepare the stage for the arrival of the Godly Army!”

After speaking, the Supreme Pope immediately disappeared from his position, and the others soon followed, disappearing one after another with satisfied smiles on their faces!

Super Star Destroyer Dawn of the Light

Grand Admiral Jasmine, who was standing just beside the throne where Ryan was calmly seated, glanced at her quantum watch as it vibrated for a moment.

”Preparations are complete,” she reported.

Ryan straightened her back on her command throne and spoke indifferently.

”Then pass down the order! Operation Annihilation begins!”

”Yes, Admiral!” Jasmine responded respectfully.

The very next moment, loud battle alarms rang throughout the entire Grand Armada!

Across the fleet, soldiers were already at their battle stations. Mech pilots were seated inside their mechs, while starfighter pilots were already inside their cockpits. Their mechs and starfighters were fully stocked, loaded, and ready in their designated positions.

And just like that, the fully prepared armada began moving towards the Holy Flame Star System, which was not far away.

Ch 563

Meanwhile, at the Melanial Star System...

Archangel Luther’s face was gloomy as the Supreme Pope’s words continued to echo in his mind again and again. There was no happiness on his face at the prospect of the Divine Army’s arrival at all!

As an Archangel, or rather, an Outer Demonic Angel, who had been bestowed with the supreme will and power of a Godly Being, he possessed an innate understanding of that being and inherently worshipped him.

But that didn’t mean Archangels had no free will or thoughts of their own! In fact, they did. And because of that independence, which allowed them to form their own thoughts without any obstruction, Luther understood what it truly meant for the Divine Army to step in.

Currently, there were only rumours, which had yet to be verified, suggesting that they were indeed collaborating with other entities. However, everything would change once the Divine Army arrived.

And that carried a different meaning altogether. For once they did, they would truly become targets to be eliminated by the entire galaxy! And then, it wouldn’t be only the already powerful human forces attacking them.

That was still the least of the things he was worried about. With the support of the Divine Army, he was confident they could withstand such attacks.

But what if... it involved those powers from beyond this galaxy? The real powers!

He dared not think about it at all, because that would be his worst nightmare, one he would rather never witness.

Just as his thoughts were running amok, a personnel officer down on the bridge suddenly spoke solemnly.

”Commander! Our forward units have detected vast hyperspace movements! Enemy forces are approaching the star system rapidly!”

This voice quickly pulled Archangel Luther out of his thoughts!

His expression changed even quicker, becoming solemn.

”How were we found out?!”

”Flash! Quickly check for me! Investigate how our location was discovered and detected! Do it immediately!” Luther, recovering from his initial surprise, hurriedly ordered.

”Yes, Commander!”

A nearby four-winged Angel immediately responded and hurried away.

”Immediately prepare the armada! Raise the Level One Battle Alert! I want everyone at their stations right freaking now!”

Luther didn’t stop there and continued issuing orders, putting his Third Armada on full alert as quickly as possible!

Not long after, a flash of light appeared beside Luther, and a figure spoke.

”Sir, we were unable to confirm it, but based on the earlier data we have on them, it is likely that the Celestial Void Empire’s fleet, led by their Grand Admiral Kael, is the force we are detecting.”

”As for how our location was discovered, it is because our collaboration between the Vorrath and Kaelth families has been exposed across the Dark Angel Kingdom by the Celestial Void News Network itself!

Our plans were likely known to the Celestial Void Empire for a long time. Judging by the fact that they were the ones who made this information public, that is our most likely conclusion.” Flash spoke with a solemn expression.

”DAMN IT!!”

Luther raged upon hearing this.

”There is a mole among us! Or perhaps those two pieces of shit from those families are responsible! How else would they know about our mission beforehand?! DAMN IT! DAMN IT ALL!!”

As he cursed, he began pacing back and forth in a hurry, desperately trying to come up with some kind of countermeasure.

”Get me connected to the Supreme Pope immediately!”

Unable to come up with anything at the moment, Luther was in a terrible situation. They had been discovered before their mission had even begun. What was supposed to be a mission had now turned into a complete disaster, and they were in danger!

Unable to reach a decision at that moment, Luther thought of speaking directly with the Supreme Pope.

”Yes, Commander!”

The communication officer nodded and hurriedly connected to the Supreme Pope’s office, informing them about the situation.

”Commander, the Supreme Pope is ready to speak with you!”

The operator shouted and hurriedly connected the call to Luther without even waiting for another order.

In front of Luther, the image of the Supreme Pope, holding his sceptre and seated on his throne, appeared.

Luther immediately knelt.

”Greetings, Supreme Pope! We have encountered a very serious situation!”

Luther dared not beat around the bush and immediately explained the entire matter in a hurry.

”Was the information leaked from our side or from those two families?” The Supreme Pope frowned in displeasure and asked.

”Sir, we don’t know. There is too little time for us to confirm this!” Luther had no idea about this either at the moment, so he spoke rather directly.

”But it could have come from our side or even theirs. Most likely, it came from their side, but our own side cannot escape suspicion either.”

”Hmmm.”

The Pope nodded his head as Luther’s words made sense. Indeed, there was too little time to investigate this, but they also couldn’t rule out the possibility that there were traitors on their own side!

”Now that the situation is like this, what do you want me to do?”

Seeing the Pope remain silent, Luther braced himself and finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

”Do you have any confidence left?” the Pope sneered directly.

”Now that you have already been exposed, your mission hasn’t even begun, and those human forces are already rushing towards you! At this point...”
