"Not yet. When it happened, Luther was apparently on the homeworld, but I don't think anything will happen to him. After all, that attack came from a very distant starry sky, and the energy reaction was extremely strong. The radar scanning device could still predict it in advance, so there was at least a little bit of time to react."

Mao Duo replied calmly.

"Who exactly did it?"

Emilo said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"The situation is unclear right now, but the most urgent task is to defend against the possibility of further attacks."

Arles looked up and said.

"I just don't understand, doesn't Star Ring City care? Didn't they agree not to cause trouble within its defined boundaries?"

Emilo said unhappily.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party's attack came across star fields, completely circumventing the protection rules of Star Ring City, so Star Ring City won't interfere."

Arles explained to Emilo very rationally.

Of course, none of them knew that that range was also the maximum defense limit of Star Ring City.

"Damn, they're really good at exploiting loopholes. But does this mean that the attacker is one of the twelve civilizations? If that's the case, there's an eighty or ninety percent chance that it was done by the Empire's military?"

Memikas said irritably.

"Calm down. That's what you say, but we don't have any evidence right now. And the Empire's military has no reason to do this. After all, we just signed a peace treaty, and everyone is preparing to go to Ceres to show their skills. It doesn't make sense to launch a sneak attack at this time."

Arles didn't quite agree with Memikas's guess.

"Then who else would attack us besides those Empire troops?"

"That's what I think too. How could it be such a coincidence that our people were attacked? As for the peace treaty, it may just be a trick to confuse us so they could carry out a sneak attack."

Emilo and Memikas completely distrusted the Empire's military.

Of course, they couldn't be blamed for this. After all, the Empire's military had broken agreements many times.

Just then, a holographic image suddenly appeared in the empty chair in the council chamber.

Arles and the others turned to look.

Then, Councilor Luther appeared, looking tired. He looked much older, his expression full of sadness and frustration, and tear stains could be clearly seen at the corners of his eyes.

"Councilor Luther, how is the situation on your side?"

Mao Te asked anxiously.

"The losses are extremely heavy, completely immeasurable, and the worst thing is that nearly half of the regular army of my Goga Republic has been wiped out!"

Luther said, his old face full of extreme pain. His country's luck was really terrible.

You should know that when they were attacked, they were gathering their forces for a pre-expedition mobilization. The side that was hit was in daylight, resulting in the almost complete annihilation of the newly assembled expeditionary force!

"Councilor Luther, please accept our condolences."

Emilo and the others offered their condolences.

Luther looked up, his eyes red, and asked, "Has it been found out who attacked me?"

"Not yet. The other party launched an attack across star fields, and the attack may not be over yet. We are all in a defensive state right now, but we have dispatched troops and reconnaissance ships to search outside the star field."

Arles explained.

In fact, only the Star Destroyer: Phantom Flower is capable of crossing star fields in a short time to find the enemy ships.

But Arles didn't dare to send it out.

If the Star Destroyer: Phantom Flower left, and then the enemy's attack came, then the Federation would be in danger. He really couldn't afford to gamble.

"Luther, don't worry. We have a mutual defense treaty. An attack on you is an attack on the entire alliance. This is war! As long as we determine who it is, we will be ready to face our wrath!"

Mao Te raised his hand and slammed the table, his eyes sharp.

"That's right, an attack on you is an attack on us. This is an act of war."

Memikas and the others responded.

"Good!"

Luther looked at the others who were expressing their support, and his expression softened a lot.

......

On the Shadow, Su Mo was using his mobile phone to browse the Star Ring Forum, paying attention to the latest developments.

The entire forum had exploded.

Everyone was discussing the attack on the Goga Republic, guessing who launched the attack.

"Who on earth is so depraved to launch such an attack?"

"Exactly. If I find out who it is, I'll definitely fight them to the death."

"If we don't avenge this, we citizens of the Goga Republic are not worthy of being human."

......

"Do you think it could be the Gomotos Empire? They seem to be the only ones capable of this. After all, they have Star Destroyers."

"I think it's likely. It's not impossible."

"That's bullshit. Show me the evidence. Don't speculate without evidence. And even if we did it, so what? Good riddance!"

At this time, many radical citizens of the Gomotos Empire also replied unhappily.

"See? Isn't that an admission?"

"Admission my ass...."

.....

Su Mo looked at the heated debates and was a little surprised.

He found that the public opinion was unknowingly pointing to the Gomotos Empire.

But that was normal. If he really had to suspect someone, Su Mo's first choice would also be the Gomotos Empire.

The main reason was that other countries didn't have the ability to do such a thing.

Sun Duo Xiang came over at this time, and asked with a grin, "Boss, do you think it was the Gomotos Empire?"

"Don't speculate without evidence. Randomly accusing someone of such a big thing will get people killed,"

Su Mo frowned slightly and replied.

"I'm just curious. Don't you know, the survivors of the Goga Republic are acting like mad dogs."

Sun Duo Xiang said to Su Mo while browsing the forum.

"Why aren't you keeping an eye on the operating table? What are you doing browsing the forum?"

Su Mo scolded with a dark face.

"Sister Xue is watching it. I'm also a big V on the forum. So many people are privately messaging me, asking me what I think. How can I not express my opinion?"

Sun Duo Xiang said helplessly.

"Don't you dare spout nonsense and comment. In my opinion, it shouldn't be the Gomotos Empire. It's not about whether they have the ability to do it, but it's not worth it for them to do so."

Su Mo gave Sun Duo Xiang a warning in advance, so that this guy wouldn't make random comments on the forum again.

"No, boss, I also thought so at first, but look at these forum comments...."

Sun Duo Xiang directly projected his forum in front of Su Mo, and pointed to the popular comments.

"Good riddance. So what if our empire hit you? You're just trash!"

"Aren't you just a homeless dog? What qualifications do you have to clamor?"

"The weak themselves have no right to exist in this era."
