<h4>Chapter 1375: The War Vortex</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    Rnd Garros, the Rnd Garros in the vortex. Nothing was more awkward than now. Rnd Garros had always been the political core ever since the Milky Way Alliance was established. It represented the highest civilization of mankind and had propelled mankind to peaceful development. Many believed that this was the golden age in the history of human peace since no one dared challenge the Milky Way Alliance. The Milky Way Alliance lost its significance now that itsrgest supporters, the Arbiter Republic and the An Empire, were fighting amongst themselves.


    The Milky Way Alliance was operating more like a wet market now with the politicians bickering away. An and Arbiter’s made their stand while the ambassadors of the other countries had vested themselves into thispetition of justice. No one believed that any of this would make any difference though. Only real strength would determine the winner. Everything here was just a facade from the rules of humans.


    The bottom line of he Milky Way Alliance had been broken since Kashawen’s assassination. It wasn’t worth condemning anything, so the entire Milky Way Alliance was in a state of unrest.


    In Elite Academy X, the elites wouldn’t sit there idly and continue their studies with the war going on.


    Zhang Shan was taking a bath in the public bathroom after his training. The war was far away from him since the Sr System was maintaining absolute neutrality. Moreover, to the other countries, the force of the Sr System was always in a safe threshold. The Sr System would always maintain the same position in the gxy. It wasn’t tasty food for the wolves either.


    Zhang Shan’s thoughts on the matter were rather simple, and that was to expand the influence of the Saruman Snake battle team. After the battle, Zhang Shan had also made rapid progress and had passed the transition period. The years of struggle hadpletely transformed his body. After SIG and the withdrawal of An and Arbiter, things had started to fly for the Saruman Snake battle team. They had attracted new blood and increased thebat power of the team; however, the war did affect the life in college after all.


    “I just received a notification that Darrow was killed in battle...”


    “What? Are you sure?”


    “He was sent to the front line just because his girlfriend here was from An.”


    “Evil war! Darrow just entered Elite Academy X how long ago...”


    Rustling was heard. Other students came in, discussing the war. Zhang Shan wiped his tears away. He couldn’t possibly continue staying at Elite Academy X. To be frank, since Wang Zheng had left, he did feel like he was the king of the ce, though he did feel like something wascking.


    Zhang Shan just hadn’t thought of what he would do. Return to Earth?


    Zhang Shan shuddered thinking about the training style of Earth’s military department. He did hear about some reforms, but they were still led by those in power, there was just a change in figureheads. He was greatly influenced by Wang Zheng, not afraid of battle nor death, but he wanted to know what he was battling for, and hoped to find a ce where he could put his abilities to the best use.


    The students of Elite Academy X were no stranger to battles, but war was something many had not experienced before.


    Not only him, Vincent, Takumi, Ao Ziwei, and the others were faced with the same situation. Mansuo had started their massacre as well. The other strong countries saw the chance when An was defeated. An and Arbiter were mspeting against each other, while the other countries wanted to be the fisherman that fished them out.


    This was an opportunity for the entire Milky Way Alliance to reshuffle their cards. Anyone could be the tyrant of the next era. There was no benevolence and fluke at the country level. Every country wanted to have the opportunity to be stronger and to obtain more resources. Some of the historical territorial disputes were being brought up again. There were signs of a war erupting.


    The order of the Milky Way Alliance was now really tense. Unless Arbiter and An waved white gs, it would be full fledged war.


    Many peace lovers were calling out to them, calling out to the various countries to exercise restraint and maintain the hard-won peace. However, these people were also the ones who did not have those rights. It was impossible for Arbiter to retreat. The victory of Rose Haier had given them huge confidence. They also had to go through with the war to make up for the losses they had suffered so far. An had the same issues on hand, so they both had the intention to proceed with the war. It was difficult to be organized this way.


    On Mansuo’s front, Jondi Lilick had entered the army. They had to find a way to deal with Ren Yixuan. That new tactic he had deployed had opened a door, a prelude to new frontiers. However, it was difficult to select a candidate. It was easy to find someone of simr caliber, but it was difficult to find someone to adapt to it. Mansuo was ambitious, and had also started researching this new method.


    In this new age, an absolute leader in technology didn’t exist. Vincent and the rest of the warriors who received the call from their mothend headed back.


    The Gemini Star was probably the country which advocated peace most strongly. They were against war, and their rtionships with the other countries was the most ambiguous.


    The Mayan Empire had also calmed down after their setback. The news circting internationally was that they were actively mobilizing their army. The Mayans were very excited, but there was no longer a need to side with An. The Mayans wanted to stand at the peak.


    Another force, which was also the most mysterious force in the Milky Way Alliance, was the Anteans. They were surprisingly silent throughout, which was very rare. They had always advocated peace, but it seemed like no country could really do that. Even a like Ghana Star was actively preparing for battle.


    Obviously, An didn’t intend to borrow the power of Antis in the early days of the war. However, it would be much better if Antis were to send aid now.


    However, there was no positive reply from Antis even now. Antis might not express absolute neutrality like the Gemini Star, but they didn’t n to send troops immediately either. Obviously, Antis had other ns and concerns.


    The Queen had a lot to consider. The Anteans were definitely a trustworthy force, but they had a fatal drawback — poption.


    Their poption was barely being maintained. If a war were to break out, it would definitely bring about a crisis to Antis. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t send troops. Antis had an affinity for heavy weapons. They did not want to expose their own advantages to cause any trouble for humans. Maintaining a mysterious demeanor was actually the best way for them to defend themselves.


    After so many years of having a rtionship, Antis promised that they would help if the An Empire were to encounter a “crisis”. This was showing huge support. Obviously, the current situation they were in wasn’t a crisis yet. Moreover, the morale of An had been boosted ever since Aina returned. The real deciding factor was the military power and their reserve forces.


    Zhang Shan was at Elite Academy X and was very clear about the international situation. Aina had returned, haha, their love was a really difficult one. Zhang Shan believed that Wang Zheng wouldn’t fall apart because of this. It might even promote his growth. Wang Zheng was impable in all aspects, except in love. He had to be more liberal in his attitude towards love. Sometimes, letting go was the best way for both parties.
