The appearance and departure of the second Swarm's Duke Lindong were both exceedingly sudden—this creature, which could to some extent be considered a Star God, had never intended to truly match the Iridium Star people in military strength. Its goal was to destroy from the very beginning.
"Actually, this is not at all surprising. The Swarm's innate nature has always been destruction," Bai Zhongqi said, somewhat annoyed as he raked his fingers through his hair.
The destruction of Laipeli Star was a tremendous blow to the United Empire. For the Iridium Star people themselves, it was manageable, but for other civilizations that had joined the United Empire seeking peace, the impact of this incident on their confidence was self-evident.
Bai Zhongqi specifically called for Prime Minister Guo Lingmei and Knight Zang Xingyan, realizing that he could no longer ignore the situation of the Iridium Star United Empire as Chancellor.
