After the second prince''s match, there was a sudden intermission that happened.


    It was supposed to be the match for the third prince that came after the second prince, but for some reason, the host suddenly called an intermission.


    Everyone was confused and some people even questioned this intermission.


    But when it was announced that this was a decree from the Mu Ster King, everyone suddenly fell silent. Not a single person dared to say anything else because if they did, that would mean going against the will of the Mu Ster King.


    They knew that there was no higher power than the Mu Ster King in this Mu Ster Kingdom, or at least that was the way it was for them. If they ever went against the Mu Ster King, there would be no ce left for them in this kingdom.


    So they could only patiently wait for the tournament to resume.


    But on the Mu Ster King''s side, the situation wasn''t as calm as the arena.


    The one that hade in earlier was a general of the Mu Ster Kingdom and he hade to report movements of troops of another Ster Kingdom on the borders of the Mu Ster Kingdom. This was a matter of national security, so of course it took precedence over the tournament.


    The Mu Ster King roared in a low voice, "Have you identified who the enemies are yet?"


    The general bowed and said, "We have just received a report from the frontlines that confirms the identity of the enemy forces. They are ships from the Ran Ster Kingdom."


    "Ran Ster Kingdom?" The Mu Ster King asked in a very confused voice.


    He wouldn''t have been this confused if it was just a normal Ster Kingdom, but it was different if it was the Ran Ster Kingdom. That was because the Ran Ster Kingdom was one of the Mu Ster Kingdom''s allies.


    Normally they had a very good rtionship, so they wouldn''t do something like this without warning.


    So why did they send ships to their border?


    Was there a special reason?


    The Mu Ster King knitted his brows to think for a bit before suddenly saying, "Could it be that this is all a misunderstanding? They could just be here to watch our session tournament, right?"


    The general knitted his brows, but he slowly shook his head as he said, "It doesn''t seem very likely."


    The Mu Ster King red at him and asked, "Why is that?"


    The general hesitated a bit before saying, "It seems like…they came in Thunder ss Battleships…"


    The Mu Ster King''s mouth opened wide when he heard this, but then he closed it and deeply knitted his brows.


    When it came to Ster Kingdoms, they all had different kinds of ships that they used to travel to different worlds since they ruled overrge domains. However, all these ships followed the same standard grades among Ster Kingdom to easily grade the various types of ships.


    Thunder ss Battleships were the strongest battleships that a Ster Kingdom could make…


    So if the Ran Ster Kingdom was bringing out their Thunder ss Battleships, the only thing that came to mind would be that they were…here for…war…


    The Mu Ster King was in deep thought for a while longer before saying, "What about our Thunder ss Battleships, have we not moved them yet?"


    The general revealed a difficult look as he said, "It''s already toote. The enemy''s Thunder ss Battleships are already in our domain and if they wanted, they could destroy any Thunder ss Battleships that we send out. The only thing that we can do now is keep the Thunder ss Battleship in the core of our kingdom to protect the capital and the surrounding area."


    The Mu Ster King gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he didn''t give up as he said, "The generals! What about all the generals that we''ve posted? Have they not been contacted yet? Why are they not moving their troops?"


    The general''s difficult look became even worse as he said, "We''ve tried making contact with them, but we haven''t been able to reach them at all. It''s almost as if there''s something blocking ourmunicationwork."


    The Mu Ster King mmed his fist down on the arm of the seat that he was sitting in as he red at the general and said, "Then shouldn''t you think of something! It''s your job as the supreme general to deal with these matters!"


    The general shrinked back when he heard this, but he still said, "We can only wait for now to see what intentions the Ran Ster Kingdom ships have. After all, if we make a rash move, then all we will be doing is falling into the enemy''s traps."


    This was advice given from his years of advice and it was solid advice, but this sounded like a coward''s talk in the ears of the Mu Ster King.


    The Mu Ster King ignored the general and fell into deep thought for a while before suddenly revealing a look like he had thought of something as he said, "The princes!"


    The general couldn''t help revealing a confused look when he heard this as he asked, "The princes? Your majesty, what about the princes?"


    The Mu Ster King once again ignored him as he said to himself, "Isn''t this a perfect way to get two birds with one stone?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    After saying this, the Mu Ster King broke out in wildughter as he said to one of the ministers standing on the side, "Send down the decree for all the princes to gather immediately!"


    The minister heard the Mu Ster King addressing him and after jolting to attention, he quickly ran off to send the decree.


    To his side, the general still had a confused look as he asked, "Your majesty, why are we gathering the princes?"


    The Mu Ster King revealed a sly smile as he answered this question with another question, "The princes have all gathered in the capital for the session tournament, correct?"


    The general was puzzled why the Mu Ster King would ask him this, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, all of the princes without fail have gathered in the capital."


    The Mu Ster King once again asked, "Since they''re all in the capital, then they should have brought all of their supporters with them, don''t you think?"


    The general still wasn''t able to understand what the Mu Ster King was nning.


    However, the Mu Ster King didn''t care as he said, "It''s fine to sacrifice a few princes like this."


    …


    An hourter, all of the princes gathered on the stage of the arena.


    They were all confused why they had been suddenly summoned, even the princes that had already been eliminated from the tournament.


    However, this was a decree summoning them that came straight from the Mu Ster King, so they had no choice but to obey.


    All of the princes had confused and anxious looks on their faces as they wondered what had happened. The only one that was calmly standing there was the second prince.


    Once all the princes had been gathered, the Mu Ster King made his entrance into the arena.


    There had been a special spot set up for him on stage, so he made his way over and sat down on the makeshift throne brought in.


    No one said a word as he came over and they all waited for him to speak to see what this was about.


    After sitting down, the Mu Ster King said, "My children, it pains me to say that I will have to cancel this tournament."


    Everyone in the crowd and all of the princes took a cold breath.


    What was happening here? Why would the Mu Ster King suddenly canceled the tournament midway?


    But no one said a thing since they knew that there was more that the Mu Ster King had to say. They all waited for him to finish his words.


    The Mu Ster King gave a sigh before saying, "With a heavy heart, I have to report that one of our allies, the Ran Ster Kingdom has turned on us."


    Everyone once again took a cold breath of shock.


    The Ran Ster Kingdom was considered one of their closest allies and people wouldn''t believe that they would turn on them normally, but these were words that came from the Mu Ster King.


    The Mu Ster King definitely wouldn''t be someone that would joke about this, so they had no choice but to believe this.


    A war definitely took precedence over the session tournament, but why did the Mu Ster King gather all of the princes like this?


    It didn''t make sense if he just wanted to announce that the tournament was canceled, he could have done it with an official decree and sent everyone home. But instead, he gathered everyone like this, so he must have a reason.


    The Mu Ster King then changed his tone and said, "But this also provides us with an opportunity."


    He paused as his eyes swept over the princes before he continued, "As proud princes of this Ster Kingdom, it is your duty to protect the people. So when enemies invade ournd, naturally it is your time to step up."


    All of the princes looked at each other, but they could see in each other''s eyes that none of them bought this.


    The Mu Ster King definitely had some other intentions.


    The Mu Ster King didn''t mind this and continued, "So as princes of our Mu Ster Kingdom, naturally it is your duty to meet our enemies when they invade. As such, you will all be sent to the front line to fight the enemies of the Ran Ster Kingdom."
