Tempest of the Stellar War

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The war between Aslan and Arbiter had been left far behind by Wang Zheng and Aina. After ten days of travel, they had finally arrived at Titatitan Star. They did not conceal themselves, nor did they make a great deal of their arrivals. Mu Sen had already prepared ahead of time. Wang Zheng’s arrival was like an anchor for Tita Star. As for Aina, the Titans did not seem to care for the reactions of Aslan. The Titans had something that very few humans had, and that was accountability.

This was Aina’s first time at Titatitan Star. While she was at the spaceport, she was already overwhelmed by the beauty of Tita. The spaceport was very advanced as resources were not an issue. However, this was nothing to Aina. The primeval ecological scenery that was almost well-preserved was what was most enchanting. It was really fortunate that Tita Star had not destroyed any of its natural resources as a result of its development.

Mu Sen, Lan Ling, and Aina did not know each other very well. So, they remained very formal. Lan Ling was full of admiration for Aina. As a princess of the strongest nation of the Milky Way Alliance, she had actually eloped with Wang Zheng… Not comparing looks and background, this alone made Lan Ling realise that she had lost to Aina.

She was more familiar with Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu. They were also not concerned about Aina’s status. Local Tycoon Su was winking and giving her surreptitious looks, causing Aina to feel pretty uncomfortable.

Together, the group headed to a branch in the mountain. Mu Sen knew that Wang Zheng and Aina were there because they needed time alone for themselves, so he did not make a big deal of the fanfare. After all, he had been young before.

“Princess Aina… or should I call you sister-in-law!” said Yan Xiaosu shamelessly. “Ouch, Lingling, don’t pinch me!”

Zhao Yiling felt helpless towards this blabbermouth husband of hers.

Aina gave a little smile. “You should.”

“See, see! What did I tell you? Indeed extraordinary. The Princess dares to love and hate. Although Aslan possesses the most thriving and advanced technologies, Tita Star has the most beautiful natural scenery. There’s also the unique experience of speeding in the wilderness. I always feel that when one’s driving, you need to have this wheeling feeling. The maglev car has only speed but lacks the feeling,” said Yan Xiaosu passionately.

“Shut up, everyone thinks you’re dumb!” Ye Zisu could not help but retort. “Don’t mind him, Aina. That’s the way he is.”

Aina smiled. “Sister Zisu. I’m alone and don’t know anyone here. If Wang Zheng bullies me, you’re the only person I can depend on.”

Said Aina gently as she pulled Ye Zisu’s arm. Ye Zisu felt rather flattered. She was also feeling sorry for Aina. This high and mighty Princess had given up a lot for Wang Zheng. She knew that it was easy for a person to climb up and that it was difficult to step down. She was sincerely happy for Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. What did I say? What did I do? Yet I’m still unjustly accused.

“Wang Zheng, it seems like your tile of the Greatest King does not have any deterrence here.” The mood had been livened up by Yan Xiaosu. Lan Ling also could not help but tease a little.

Wang Zheng laughed foolishly. He was feeling very happy indeed. This was the feeling of returning home, abandoning the pretentiousness.

“Right, Elder Mu Sen, where’s Old Merchant?”

“Mr. Alan Tucker is now the director of the Sciences Academy of Tita Star. As our facilities are too lagging behind, Mr. Tucker has been leading teams to make improvements. He said that he will look for you when he’s free.” Mu Sen was helpless too. As an Elder, he had been very impressed with mankind’s sciences because this power had made mankind who they were today. Alan Tucker was a representative scientist of this era. Even the Saint’s technologies were reliant on him. In fact, Old Merchant had not been idle while at the Saint. As a result of the chaos back then, technical faults had begun to appear. In order to connect them together, Alan Tucker had been a crucial factor, especially in putting the theory to practical use. It only took him a quick look to understand what others understood. He could understand what others could not understand. However, Alan Tucker had been stalling. Right from the start, he had always used the Saint as a place to hide out.

However, it was a different story when he returned to Tita Star. Tita Star… it was damn backward. Old Merchant could not help but swear when he first arrived. Of course, under limited conditions, Old Merchant was prepared to get to the important point. However, after he came into contact with a large amount of super gravity energy mines, he had discovered a new land. Hence, he had no time for Wang Zheng for the time being.

After hearing Lan Ling’s explanation, Wang Zheng was feeling grateful too. He knew that Old Merchant was doing this for him. At his level, Old Merchant could see more clearly. Tita Star was the foundation of his foothold. When the world was against him, Tita Star would fight alongside him until the very end.

“Xiaosu, what plans do Zhang Shan, Mu Zhen, and the rest have?” asked Wang Zheng. He had almost no contact with the outside world for a while, but Yan Xiaosu had been in contact with the rest.

“Zhang Shan is now the captain of Saruman Snake. Although Elite Academy X has been somewhat intense because of the confrontations between Aslan and Arbiter, especially since most Arbiter cadets have left the Academy, he still wants to remain there. Mu Zhen is not back either. It was the wish of the Elders that he should continue to learn. We are also sending some better potential talent there as well,” said Yan Xiaosu. “Ai Xiaolu is back at the Hail Cloud Alliance. That young lady intends to make a big downfall from this war.”

Ai Xiaolu’s acumen was still very high. The Aishi Financial Group would not sit back and watch their opportunities slip by. Over the years, Arbiter had accumulated a huge amount of resources and technologies. The Hail Cloud Alliance would want to take in the winnings too. Everyone knew this.

“Arbiter isn’t a push over. Tell Ai Xiaolu to be careful,” said a helpless Wang Zheng. He knew that Ai Xiaolu probably did not have much of a choice.

“We just received news that Arbiter has opened their doors and that there have been some rebellions. It seems that when confronted with the pressure of the coalition forces, problems started surfacing internally. It has been plain sailing for Arbiter all these years because they have not been confronted with such strong opponents before,” commented Lan Ling. Taking a quick look at Aina, “If this is swift, this war may end within three months.”

Lan Ling was worried that, by then, Aina would have to go back again. Wang Zheng would be heartbroken. In fact, she would like to know how Aina felt.

“Don’t worry about me. After I’ve come here, I’m just an ordinary person. Aslan’s victory or defeat has nothing to do with me. However, the situation is not as positive. The strongest force of the coalition, Manalasuo, has yet to make a move. This means that they know very clearly that Arbiter has not struck with any real force yet. If the coalition takes it lightly, they will suffer a big loss. In terms of national style and hard warfare, Arbiter is the strongest in the Milky Way Alliance,” commented Aina.

Everyone was speechless. At a time when the international situation seemed to be leaning towards Aslan, no one could have thought that Aina would have such a view. But in fact, although the tides seemed to be leaning one-sided towards Aslan, Manalasuo had indeed remained inactive, with seemingly no intention of committing themselves. However, the fleets of Manalasuo had been gathering. If they made their position clear now, at least they could still reap some profits for themselves. But since they had not committed themselves, it meant that they were still waiting.

A glimmer of light flashed in Mu Sen’s eyes. In fact, these were his thoughts as well. As an outsider, he could observe the situations of the Milky Way Alliance in a calmer manner. The coalition was powerful only because of the benefits that they might gain. Although Arbiter was fighting alone, as the lone force, their fighting spirits were none the weaker. They have been losing too easily right now. This seemed a little dangerous. It was unclear if the coalition had come to this realisation too, and not just realisation, but a true understanding.

“Alright, that’s enough. That’s none of our business. We are here today to celebrate Wang Zheng and Aina finally getting together. Let’s only talk about happy stuff!” said Fatso Yan boldly.

Their jeeps raced towards the mountain base.
