Five Years Later, an Unexpected Visitor

Ever since Lin Yu proposed the idea of a second headquarters for the Federal Fleet and gained the support of all the Federation's top officials, five years had passed.

Over those five years, Heres had been transformed into an impregnable fortress. Lin Fan believed that even if a fleet from a Ninth Order Civilization, like the one before, were expanded tenfold, it would still be utterly incapable of breaking through the defenses here.
