Redline, The Crossing.

Luna and her squad arrived at the place where The Coalition forces are taking heavy damage.

Looking around she saw many debris broken ships of the Coalitions floating lifelessly in space not so far many Adventurers and Mercenaries are having an all you can eat buffet.

And in the center broken Ganesh ships and Mechs are also everywhere. Those are the targets of the Adventurers and Mercenaries, after all the only reason they are here fighting is for profit.

Who cares about the fate of the Galaxy, have those huge organizations worry about. Those are the common thoughts of those independent Adventurers and Mercenaries. It's profits that drive them.

Looking around she saw many ships on fire, the Ganesh, after all, don't just sit there doing nothing while those adventurers and mercenaries plundered the battlefield.

And while the attention of Ganesh was on those forces, the Coalitions are slowly retreating back. They have lost over 70% of their forces who are in charge of protecting this place. And what's worse. Their loots are being stolen by the Adventurers and Mercenaries and all they can do is clenched their fist.

Luna didn't bother with other Adventurers, she wasn't here for profit. As soon as she arrived she immediately assessed the situation looking for a good spot to attack.

Looking around she also sees Fenrir and his Crew.

The battlefield is chaotic. The Adventurers and Mercenaries are doing whatever they want, there was no tactics or formation. It's just everyone doing whatever the hell they want.

And the Ganesh are taking advantage of it, the losses on Adventurers and Mercenaries are far greater than what the Ganesh are losing. And yet the other Adventurers don't care about, in fact, they are even laughing as fellow Adventurers and Mercenaries are being destroyed after all to them that's one less competition.

There was no unity or camaraderie in front of profit, everyone is competition. Like they said birds die for food, humans die for profit, although the majority of Adventurers and Mercenaries are not human. In front of potential profits, almost everyone acts the same.

And then one after another battleship the size of the moon started appearing, and as they exited the warp they immediately started blasting.

Luna was quick to react, she immediately ordered to retreat fortunately she was quite far from the Frontline.

But those greedy Adventurers and Mercenaries are not so lucky caught in the blast they were pulverized.

"Retreat!!, Retreat!!" Ordered one of the captains, the moment those gigantic battleships appeared he was so shocked he forgot to give orders. By the time he ordered it half of his men were already gone.

"Everyone Ret.." he looked and saw a huge energy blast coming their way. "Fuck!" BOOM!!

His whole ship was decimated.

As soon as the gigantic ship appeared those who are monitoring the battlefield field, immediately found out about it.

Admiral Ford saw those gigantic battleships and was stunned, he knows that Ganesh is still hiding most of its forces but he never expected something like that.

"Pull back! Pull back all forces!" He immediately shouted the order.

"Yes sir!"

Immediately all forces fighting Ganesh ordered an emergency meeting. As for GFA, the elders are already at a meeting at the Elders Conclave when it happens.

Each and every one of them can feel the tensions and knows something big is going to happen, big enough to change the very galaxy fate..

In just a few minutes after those gigantic battleships appeared more than half of the forces fighting in the Crossing were wiped out.

Oda immediately sends an emergency order, all forces in the Frontline need to pull out.

Rescue ships who were on standby were immediately sent especially to those fighting at the ground level.

Sky who was watching the battlefield was interrupted by a sudden blast, and it's not from the battle in front of him. He looks up and saw a battleship entering the atmosphere and it is in flames and many parts of it are breaking apart,

"that's…Defender?" Shocked, he recognized the ship as one of GFA Battleships entrusted in protecting their side of the atmosphere.

"Wtf is going on," he said to himself, he has a bad feeling about it. "Everyone retreat" he immediately ordered.

And soon enough he received an emergency order to retreat. Luckily they were on standby and not on the battlefield, and most of his men were on standby.

Dianna who was in her office watching the video on the Frontline was worried, she was at a meeting when it happened, after being informed of the situation. She immediately canceled the meeting and went to her office where she asked Ash to set up the monitor and pull up the feed to the front line.

Luckily GT surveillance systems are still operational, what she saw was a massacre. Countless broken ships of all sizes and GT retreating forces, it wasn't just GT in fact all major forces ordered a retreat.

Unfortunately, major forces are fighting on two fronts while their forces are fighting the Ganesh, internally they are also fighting the many spies and the chaos it's making.

Many orders are delayed because of it. Fortunately, commanders on the Frontline are very competent and were able to immediately issue an order to retreat and regroup. This time all surviving forces have come together and form a defensive line.

Legion was about to make a move but Oda stopped him, Legion existence needs to be hidden for as long as possible. Fortunately, Oda already placed a contingency plan when he sent the Grand Army out for training, and after the surprise attacks, he immediately put several rescue ships hidden and on standby.

And the instant Oda gives an emergency order to retreat, rescue ships immediately went and retrieve all the soldiers in the front line especially those on the ground level.

Oda look at Mariel "bring them all back training is over"

Mariel nodded. She immediately gives the order to all Grand Army on disguised training on many parts of the Galaxy to return ASAP.

Oda then left the command center and went to his office. He needed to talk to Legion and Gaia.

The war is moving too fast, he knows the Grand Army is not ready yet, but time is against them and whether he likes it or not War is upon them, and this time he has a feeling they can't hide behind GFA anymore.

Karou looks at the battlefield and he knows there's no going back this time.

He immediately ordered all his forces to move forward, he won't give time for his enemies to regroup. He knows this is the best time to strike.

And when Dianna saw Ganesh not stopping she immediately asked Ash to secure Arc family members...

She is not going to take any chances. Ash nodded and immediately left.

Meanwhile, In Liberty, Karou's agents also known as "Greyman" continues to create chaos. For many of them, it is a matter of life and death, if the Ganesh lost, many of them would be put to death. Betraying their own race is not a light crime. This is a gamble, but if they win they will become the new leader of their race.

Meanwhile in the defensive line.

Admiral Ford immediately contacted the highest-ranking officers of the other major Organization.

He suggested joining all surviving forces to create a defensive line and wait for reinforcement. He was prepared to give a convincing speech but in the end, he didn't need it as every commander of the forces understood the direness of the situation. If the Ganesh were allowed to leave The Crossing they would be free to attack everywhere especially their home planet and in the case of The Coalitions their home base. If that happens the war is as good as lost, the galaxy is big, and without knowing where the enemy will attack they will be forced to scatter their forces in order to protect their home.

And scattered forces are no match to the forces of Ganesh only by standing together they have a chance in fighting back. Those gigantic battleships of Ganesh are near-invincible on the battlefield, only by using their superior number they have a chance in fighting it.
