After the battle, everyone fell asleep because they were tired. The others used horse-drawn carts to transport them all back to Xingdu.

Now, it's the third day after the battle. Everyone returned to the star capital and was eating dinner leisurely.

Averns: [Once again, I thank you for your help.] ]

Ling: [Don't thank us, King Avers.] As we have said before, this help is mutual. Once your problems have been solved, it is your turn to help us. ]

Averns: [No problem!] ]

Coco: [By the way, is Astro really that powerful?!] Did he really defeat an existence like the final boss by himself?! ]

Date: [Don't talk nonsense when eating!] ]

Lele: [But isn't it tasteless to eat like this?!] ]

Date: [Now we're having dinner with the King!] ]

Averns: [It's okay, it's better to eat that way!] You can just do it. But, Thomas, are you really not going to eat with us? ]

Thomas: [I'm just a junior official, how can I have dinner at the same table with Your Majesty!] It's too bad manners. ]

Astoro: [You're stubborn in places like this.] ]

Thomas: [Prince, this is etiquette!] ]

Averns: [By the way, is what Tilmatt said true?!] ]

Thomas: [I don't know, but I think it's likely.] ]

Avers: [So, Astoro, you're my biological child?!!] That's great! ]

Averls suddenly stood up, walked over to Astoro, and hugged him.

Kima: [Ah!] I'm going to hug Astro too! ]

Astoro's 4 imps all ran over and hugged Astro with Avers.

Astoro: [It's uncomfortable!] I'm running out of breath! ]

Haruka: [It's like a family!] ]

Kima: [We're a family!] ]

Astoro: [That's right, we're all family, we're going to be a family!] ]

Coco: [I'm Astoro's child, and if Astoro is a prince, then I'm not the prince's grandson?!] ]

Date: [It's not the king's grandson, it's the king's grandson!] ]

Coco's clumsiness caused bursts of laughter.

Astoro: [However, if it weren't for everyone's help, I don't think I would have been able to protect the star capital so smoothly.] ]

Thomas: [The civil strife in Battlestar isn't over yet, and you're still far too early to complete the mission!] ]

Astoro: [That's right!] Since Ling and they have helped us so much, it will be our turn next. ]

Ling: [However, the situation on your side is not finished yet!] ]

Averns: [Don't worry about that, now that the alien armies have collapsed, they will not do anything for the time being when they see the power of the King's Tools.] And as long as we use the power of the king's tool later, we will quickly pacify the battle star.

What's more, we can't delay you all the time. ]

Fanker: [That's right.] We really don't have much time. ]

Filina: [In that case, let's go underground and fetch Mikiffs ore?!] ]

Thomas: [Unfortunately, there is no Mikifs ore underneath the star capital.] Basically, Mikievs ore is concentrated underground in a certain town, which has been a mining city since a long time ago.

However, that city fell not long after the riots began. I guess it's being mined at a rapid pace. ]

Kenichi: [Then why don't you take it back first?] If there were Mikievs ore, it would be much better to make weapons or something. ]

Thomas: [No, it was a lot worse than we thought. We had an even more priority opponent to address. ]

Filina: [Now that the opponent's strongest forces have collapsed, now should be the time when the opponent is at its weakest.] It shouldn't be a problem for us to retake that mine in one go. ]

Ling: [No, I'm afraid it's not that easy!] ]

Astoro: [I don't understand, but why?!] ]

Haruka: [Because the Tree of Liberty is behind it.] Their purpose should be that mine. It must be all their people over there now. Their assassination forces were not easy to deal with. ]

Tyco: [But don't we have Astoro?!] If you have the King's Tool, don't worry. ]

Ling: [That being said, why does the Freedom Tree Company, which is the mastermind behind the scenes, want to get the king's tool so much?!] ]

Thomas: [That's because the King's Tool is made from Mikiffs ore?!] ]

Ling: [I guess that's it.] Didn't you say that the Dark Ring was most likely a mass-produced Star Ring made from Mikiffus particles?! However, this Dark Ring is clearly flawed. If you can analyze the king's tools, then the quality of the Dark Ring will be greatly guaranteed. ]

Averns: [In that case, the other party is not just here for the mines, but also for the king's tools?!] ]

Haruka: [I guess that's a big possibility.] ]

Astoro: [In that case, we still need to take back the mine first.] ]

Thomas: [Looks like we need to strategize as soon as possible!] ]

Okay, this side, let's go to rest for the time being. Let's look at the situation on the other side.

There is a large mine hundreds of kilometers away from Xingdu, where it takes at least one week to travel by horse-drawn cart.

That's right, that's where the Mikievs mining farm.

Around the perimeter of this mine, there are many men in black patrolling around.

Not far from the mine, there is a three-storey house that resembles a villa.

On the balcony of this house, there is now a man standing there looking at the view.

At this moment, a man with a knife pinned to his waist appeared behind the man.

[Lord Night, you already know the current location of the king's tool.] ]

[Oh!] Is it?! Where is it?! ]

[Right in the capital of this planet, a place called Star Capital, hundreds of kilometers away.] ]

[Didn't you say before that those nobles had gathered all their forces and were ready to attack the star capital?] Isn't it over yet? ]

[This, I hear, has been defeated.] ]

[What?!] ]

[According to the aliens who came back, they were raided, and then even the Commander was captured.] The one who seized the ruler was none other than the owner of the King's Tools, the prince of the planet. ]

[It seems that the king's tool is more powerful than I thought!] But that's the fun! ]

[So, is there anything I need to do next?!] ]

[There's no need, because their next stop is probably going to be here, so we'll just have to wait.] ]

[Why are you here?!] Again, this is not a strategic point. ]

[Didn't you say the Commander was captured?] That Archon must know about us. As long as he exposes our affairs, then the other party will know that we are behind the scenes. Then the best thing to do is to just beat us. ]

[I see.] ]

[I didn't even think about that, how did you become the captain of the fourth team?!] Xiumiro. ]

[I don't know myself, but I heard that it depends on strength.] ]

[By the way, can you change the name!] We're all captains, and it's not comfortable for me to call me that. ]

[However, you are a senior, and your strength is above me, and the word adult is indispensable!]

[It's a hassle for decent people!] ]

So, next, I think, Ling and the others should go to the mine. In that case, a battle with the dark night will be inevitable!
