The breakup of the negotiations between the Tribunal and the Interstellar Peace Corporation was certainly a delight to Dada Niel. In fact, when Dada Niel sought help from Duanmu Huai, he had more or less anticipated this possibility. After all, with how long Dada Niel had been in cooperation with the Tribunal, how could he not be familiar with the Tribunal's nature?

For the Tribunal, compromise does not exist, deals are nonexistent; if they're in a good mood, they might discuss it with you, but if they're in a bad mood, there's no use in begging.

Either comply or die, there are no other options.

So when cooperating with the Tribunal, Dada Niel never haggles; it's basically like if the Tribunal tells him to jump, he asks how high. Thus, after a round of talks with the people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Dada Niel guessed that if the Tribunal went against the Interstellar Peace Corporation, the latter would certainly meet a tragic end.

And so it was.

When Dada Niel learned that the Tribunal had annihilated the Exploration Fleet of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, he almost wanted to pop a champagne.

For other forces, perhaps a fight would just be a fight.

But Duanmu Huai is different; he is pursuing Calamity Ascension, always looking for trouble, and now someone is coming to his doorstep seeking trouble, it's like delivering food to his home!

So, after exterminating the Exploration Fleet of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Duanmu Huai grandly led the Tribunal Fleet, aggressively charging towards the Outer Star System.

It's rude not to reciprocate; since you dared to stir up trouble in my territory, don't blame me for coming to sort you out!

Following this, the Outer Star System was bustling with activity.

When the Tribunal Fleet entered the Outer Star System, Duanmu Huai had Lumiaire directly infiltrate the Interstellar Peace Corporation's network, openly declaring that the Corporation had ignored the Tribunal's warning by invading its Domain, demanding that the Corporation compensate for it, and further insisting that its Chairman—Klipper—personally apologize to the Tribunal!

This statement caused an uproar throughout the Outer Star System. After all, the Interstellar Peace Corporation controlled nearly all commercial trade networks in the Outer Star System, and the Guardian Star God was well known. However, this force named the Tribunal just arrived and aggressively pointed its sword at the Corporation, even demanding the Star God to apologize?

Seeing this, many forces felt that this was truly the ignorance of the fearless.

Of course, the Interstellar Peace Corporation was not ready to let it go; they had initially planned to initiate an attack using the pretext of the Tribunal attacking their Exploration Fleet, but unexpectedly, the Tribunal preemptively retaliated and directly came to their doorstep?

Can this be tolerated?

We're called the Interstellar Peace Corporation; do they really think we're pacifists?

Thus, very quickly, the Interstellar Peace Corporation also gathered their fleet, and both sides engaged in the first battle in the Riyadh Star System. However, the Corporation suffered a crushing defeat, and the Tribunal continued to advance, leading to several consecutive battles. Basically, the Interstellar Peace Corporation was being beaten back by the Tribunal repeatedly, and as for all this, the other forces in the Outer Star System began to transition from initial shock and disbelief to...… a more intriguing outlook.

Immortal Boat, Luofu.

"The Interstellar Peace Corporation has been defeated once again."

The man sitting behind the desk looked at the report in his hand, revealing a wry smile and shaking his head.

"What is General's view on this?"

Seated on the other side, a petite girl sipped her tea while inquiring.

"The moon waxes full only to wane, water brims only to overflow. The Corporation has always acted recklessly, thinking they would never face retribution, and now they've finally hit a hard wall. It's truly self-inflicted, lamentable. If initially, the Corporation merely underestimated the Tribunal's strength, after so many battles, they should understand that there is no chance of victory against the Tribunal."

The man replied directly, and the girl had no objection. In fact, the situation had developed to the point where any major force in the Outer Star System had already drawn a conclusion.

The Corporation is destined to lose.

The reason is simple: the Outer Star System is the Interstellar Peace Corporation's core domain, and as a business-centric entity, most of their resources are focused on maintaining their commercial network.

But the Tribunal is different; they have no foundation in the Outer Star System, nor do they need to maintain anything, focusing solely on fighting and relentlessly assaulting the Corporation. Such an enemy is quite thorny for any force, not to mention...… the Tribunal's own strength is also quite terrifying,

The continued clashes between the Tribunal and the Corporation have naturally drawn the attention of other forces, who secretly sent observers. They were equally shocked by the Tribunal's fearsome combat power, even as the man's status as a General did little to lessen the astonishment. It is known that the Immortal Boat Alliance ranks among the powerful forces in the Outer Star System, yet their warships seem like child's play compared to the Tribunal.

To say nothing else, just in terms of size, the Tribunal Fleet has dozens of ships larger than those of the Immortal Boat. Even in direct combat, whether they could withstand a single shot from their opponent is questionable.

"So, General, you don't intend to get involved in this mess?"

"Naturally."

The man let out a cold snort, placing the letter back on the table— a letter from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, merely hoping the Immortal Boat Alliance would aid them, with promises of shared trade profits in return...…

"At this point, no one would risk angering the Tribunal for petty gains. Furthermore, we have no grudges or entanglements with the Tribunal."

The man was certain that not only himself, but basically any notable force in the Outer Star System would not join in. One reason is that the Tribunal is too powerful, and they see no need to make enemies for no reason. The Interstellar Peace Company is on a path to self-destruction, but that does not mean others should follow suit.

Another reason is that ever since the Tribunal entered the Outer Star System, they haven't attacked other planets or residents but rather struck directly at the headquarters of the Interstellar Peace Company as a sharp blade. One could say that the current battle between the Interstellar Peace Company and the Tribunal is merely to stop the Tribunal Fleet from reaching the company headquarters. Since the Tribunal makes it clear that this is a private vendetta between the two forces, no other fool would choose to join and provoke the Tribunal at such a time.

And how should I say this... the Tribunal is relentless in targeting the company, with an aura of determination to settle the score, almost like a predator...

"Does the General believe the Tribunal can genuinely battle the company to the end?"

Upon hearing the man's answer, the girl looked at him curiously—after all, in the Outer Star System, everyone knew the company's ultimate goal was the Amber King. Though the Interstellar Peace Company has been established for many years, its operations are indeed vast, everything they do is ultimately for the Amber King and its grand plan.

The company travels to different galaxies, procures various materials, transports them to the Subspace Barrier, assisting the Star Gods in wall-building.

In other words, the core of the Interstellar Peace Company lies deep within the eternal Subspace... the silent, wall-building... eternal presence.

Is the Tribunal really going to kill its way through the company, reach Star God Kriper, and settle the dispute?

Just thinking about it is an absurd notion.

"The company won't be stupid to such a degree; I think they should start considering how to limit losses."

In fact, this is the judgment not only of the man but also of most of the heads of forces, as well as the decision of the company's own leadership.

Though the Interstellar Peace Company is a corporation, at its core, it serves the Church of Star God Kriper, with its main goal not being world domination but aiding in the wall-building for the Star Gods.

Therefore, when this primary goal is impacted... they will inevitably make changes.

"Recently, the Building Material Logistics Department's efficiency has dropped by 5.73%, with losses far exceeding expected standards."

In the grand and majestic hall, cold stone surfaces echoed with angry roars. As a core department of the Interstellar Peace Company, the Building Material Logistics Department carries the sacred task of delivering construction materials to Star God Kriper, thus they are intolerant of any loss and delay incurred.

"I demand an investigation into the Market Development Department's reckless actions and request immediate efforts to compensate for this loss!"

"Anti-company forces are also becoming restless. Due to significant losses, our trade networks across various galaxies are experiencing issues. The Business Consolidation Department believes it's necessary to re-prioritize."

A graceful, otherworldly female voice sounded, yet carried an undeniable firmness. After all, the company's warships aren't magically grown, and in the Outer Star System, while the Interstellar Peace Company holds significant power, there are still numerous anti-company forces. Usually, the company can suppress them, but as the battles with the Tribunal intensify, the company is mobilized, and the loss of warships greatly exceeds average levels. In short order, the company cannot deploy more warships and members to fill the gap, granting opportunistic anti-company forces a chance to stir.

"The conflict between the company and the Tribunal has severely affected the Amber King's grand plan; the Strategic Investment Department does not deem continued standoff to benefit the company. Moreover, this is fundamentally the responsibility of the Market Development Department..."

Another voice, indifferent and calm, seemed detached from the issue—although this was indeed the case.

"What evidence do you have to suggest this is the Market Development Department's fault?"

"I have a recording showing that during the first confrontation between the company fleet and the Tribunal, the Tribunal requested the company fleet to withdraw. However, at that time, the company fleet commander received an order from the Market Development Department and thus rejected the Tribunal's request... This order came directly from the Market Development Department's director—Oswald Schneider."

"...............…"

"Therefore, we have reason to believe all this is due to the Market Development Department's proactive provocation, hence they must take responsibility."

"...............…"

No one spoke, although everyone knew very well that the company wasn't doing this for the first time. I'm just not leaving; I'm provoking you. If you dare to touch me, let the company show its strength, and then the company can legitimately retaliate and naturally seize everything.

Provided you can win.

However, if you can't win... well, this is the current situation.

They not only want to kill you but also annihilate your entire family, punish your nine clans.

Will you rise in resistance, or will you kneel in surrender?

For the Interstellar Peace Company, they seem to have very few options left at this moment.
