Chapter 1360: Hub Turmoil
Chapter 1360: Hub Turmoil
Lancelot O'mear was one of the powerful individuals who attacked Su Yu's avatar in Sector 170 earlier.
At the time, there were only three attackers on the scene: one was a space pirate, another was from the rebel organization, and the last one was him.
But unlike the other two, O'mear's identity was extremely conspicuous! The other two, whether they were space pirates or from the rebel organization, were openly declared enemies. However, O'mear was a general of the Figer Guard and a close confidant of Commander Dalando.
For a general of the Guard, who was supposed to protect the hub, to betray his post—how could such an identity not attract attention?
Enemies are not to be feared; traitors are the real threat!
So when Su Yu mentioned "O'mear," Morning Star, the cat, immediately understood what he was planning.
Her eyes lit up. "Achilles' heel, you want to use the 'O'mear attack' as leverage to get Commander Dalando to let us leave the hub, right?"
"Exactly." Su Yu smiled. "Using this as a bargaining chip, the Commander will definitely agree to let us leave.
Moreover, staying in the hub is pointless. My newly ascended combat strength isn't that great, and whether I'm here or not makes little difference to the hub.
Instead of wasting a few years here, we might as well use this time to complete the main quest."
"You're right," Morning Star nodded. "We'll use O'mear as leverage, and the Commander will definitely let us leave."
Su Yu smiled again, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "But I won't let O'mear off easily.
With a major battle approaching, the Hub Council won't give him a severe punishment, considering he's a fifth-rank planetary superstrong.
And because he's a fifth-rank planetary, I'm far from his match. The hub won't impose a heavy sentence, so I can't do anything to him now.
But I won't let him off in the future. He will pay for destroying my avatar!"
"Right, he'll see your power sooner or later!" Morning Star's lips curled into a confident smile.
The Hub Council definitely wouldn't give O'mear a severe sentence.
Even without the impending war, the Council would protect a superstrong, as they are the true power core of the hub.
But who is Su Yu?
In a few years, Su Yu will also ascend to the fifth-rank planetary, becoming a superstrong. By then, O'mear will be in for a rude awakening!
By then, he will realize how grave a mistake it was to rob Su Yu.
...
While Su Yu and Morning Star were discussing, Su Yu's main body had returned to Sector 170 through the sector teleportation gate.
Upon returning, he immediately went back to Haminis City to gather his subordinates and discuss important matters.
But at the same time, the entire hub was in complete chaos!
The hub residents were terrified to discover that the rebel organization was about to attack, and the hub was going to be at war!
And the major events of the day were so densely packed and so unbelievable that they all erupted at once, each one bringing immense shock!
First, Su Yu's avatar was attacked by three fifth-rank planetary superstrongs, and his main body was attacked by two. One of them was O'mear, who was exposed as a traitor in broad daylight!
This was already a significant event. If it had happened under normal circumstances, it would have caused a sensation throughout the hub, perhaps even rivaling the excitement of Su Yu's auction.
But the next two events quickly overshadowed this one—
The rebel organization's stellar-rank superstrong, Laren, appeared in the sky above Sector 1!
And the most shocking news was that the rebel organization was about to launch an attack!
With these two events, who was still talking about O'mear? The hub residents were now preoccupied with the rebel organization.
War was imminent!
Especially after Speaker Lemor made the information public, the major sectors were in turmoil, and the residents were panicked and at a loss.
The entire hub was filled with chaos and fear. On the streets and online platforms, anxious voices echoed everywhere:
"What do we do? The rebel organization is about to attack."
"What can we do? We'll just have to deal with it. The war in Lunya has been going on for two years, and they haven't all died yet."
"Should we flee to another hub?"
"The hub has a rule—once a war breaks out, residents below the sixth rank can immigrate to other hubs, while those above the sixth rank are not allowed to leave. Are you below the sixth rank? If so, you can leave."
"Damn it, I just reached the sixth rank (crying)."
...
The refugees from Lunya had an even stronger reaction.
In the past two years, the Figer hub had received over 2 billion refugees from Lunya.
Upon hearing the news, the refugees were shocked:
"Again? We just escaped to Figer, and the war is following us?"
"Another rebel organization. Do we have to keep running for our lives?"
"It looks like we'll be interstellar refugees again."
"Darn it, life was just starting to stabilize here..."
The refugee reception areas were in chaos, and the entire hub was in turmoil.
The civilians began making plans for their future.
Some residents decided to pack their belongings and flee immediately, while others decided to stay and share the hub's hardships.
From the situation in the neighboring Lunya hub, although a large number of refugees had fled, the majority still chose to stay and share the hardships. The same was true for Figer.
But regardless, the war had come.
Either flee or stay and fight actively.
