Global Era of Star trekking
Chapter 199: Chapter 132: The Fall of the Tros Family

```

Chenxing Calendar year 5204, March 12th.

As one of the top three families in Baihe City, the Tros Family was still as usual, living in grandeur, the epitome of luxury.

In the family hall, Rocke Tros sat in the main seat, listening to the report from the commander of the family's secret guards.

With a stern expression, he sat up straight, and from time to time, sharp gleams flickered in his eyes, exuding an aura of dignified authority characteristic of the head of a family.

Ever since he had provided his father with the news of "Void Crystals" half a year ago, and effortlessly snatched hundreds of Void Crystals from the hands of an entrusted auctioneer, despite a slight mishap afterwards which allowed a small mouse to escape, John Tros remained extremely pleased and promptly had him take over the position of family patriarch.

At this moment, the secret guard in front of him delivered a piece of news that puzzled him.

"According to our investigations, a few days ago, young master Grim contacted a First Rank Torch Ship Captain who is a stranger. The intelligence department found out that this First Rank Torch Ship Captain is a scion of the White Tower Song family."

"White Tower Song family?" Rocke Tros murmured, recalling information about the White Tower Song family at lightning speed.

A branch separated from the Dinghai Song family, and Song Ming Song of the White Tower Floating Land was regarded as the most likely candidate to advance to Fourth Rank in the next two hundred years, an entity which the Tros Family could not afford to provoke. Find more to read on M-V-L

Thinking of this, he grew curious as to why his nephew had sought out the younger generation of the Song family.

What is this kid doing contacting the Song family's people?

After a moment of contemplation, Rocke continued to inquire.

"Do you know the reason?"

"According to information verified by the intelligence team, the Song family recently acquired a batch of Insect Race refined flesh. Young master Grim wished to quickly enhance his own Guidance Technique Level, hence he took the initiative to make contact with the Song..."

Before he could finish, the secret guard commander's tone abruptly paused. Just as Rocke Tros was feeling baffled, the complexion of the secret guard commander in front of him drastically changed.

"Patriarch, we're under attack!"

Rocke Tros's heart skipped a beat. Although he had assumed the position of the patriarch, the time was still short. He was still in the midst of searching for the news of the Purple Fire Source UpRank and had not yet advanced to Second Rank, so naturally, his perception was not as strong as that of the secret guard commander in front of him, who was already at Second Rank.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly gather our forces..."

The words had barely left his mouth when several thunderous noises resounded above the entire Tros family compound.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately after, terrifying explosions roared.

Above, fifteen Torch Warships of various sizes hovered in the sky, looking down at the Nuclear Energy Shield below, which had been dimmed considerably after a round of bombardment.

Just like the Blood Blade Star Thieves previously, there was also a hemispherical shield above the Tros family compound that could withstand Third Rank attacks, a Nuclear Energy Shield.

In fact, not only the Blood Blade Star Thieves and the Tros family, but most powers within the boundaries of Starry Sea Human Civilization with some ability would usually set up such a Nuclear Energy Shield over their main base to ensure safety. The Furious Lion's compound also had one.

Of course, this was the least effective type. Those powers with greater energy would purchase the extremely high-power Nuclear Energy Shield emitters. Although exorbitantly priced, requiring Floating Land Origin of Fourth Rank and above, the shields they generated could also reach Fourth Rank Energy Level.

Below, the Tros family's reaction was swift. With this sudden change of events, four Escort Ships one hundred meters in length quickly appeared above the family compound, confronting the fifteen Torch Warships above.

Of course, these four Escort Ships did not dare to leave the protection of the Nuclear Energy Shield. The two lead kilometer-long Warships among the fifteen above imposed great deterrence on them.

Frankly speaking, the strength of the Tros family is not weak. Four Escort Ships, on ordinary days, would be sufficient to protect a family for a thousand years.

Unfortunately, today they have crossed the Song family.

Above, among the communication projections of the fifteen Song family Torch Warships, grandma Bai Xiuqin spoke out:

"John Tros's Flagship is among them, eldest, you can make your move!"

Upon hearing this, inside the lead Cruiser to the left, a circular platform much larger than the Fixed-Point Launch Pad on Cang Qiong started to flicker with Ghost Light, and then four Soldier Figurines, standing back to back atop the platform, abruptly vanished.

Simultaneously, a coarse voice came from the Cruiser on the right, that of Song Ming Song.

"Take action!"

After speaking, he activated the "Shield Breaker" Feature of the Main Cannon on the Furious Lion, and then fired with force.

If it were not for the need to draw out John Tros, to prevent him from abandoning the idea of resisting upon the instantaneous collapse of the Nuclear Energy Shield, thus causing him to act in desperation, the shield could have been broken with the first strike.

Whoosh!

The Main Cannon at the front of the Furious Lion roared, shooting out a beam of light.

The next second, the Nuclear Energy Shield, which was still relatively sturdy, suddenly collapsed entirely. This anomaly caused the four Tros family Escort Ships inside the shield to panic immensely.

In the Main Control Room of the Covenant, the aged John Tros no longer bore his usual haughty demeanor. His face was gloomy, with a look of terror flitting through his eyes.

He had thought that as long as the Nuclear Energy Shield could hold for a minute or two, until the Baihe City's Headmaster arrived, today's sudden crisis would surely be resolved. But he did not expect that the Nuclear Energy Shield, at the Third Rank Peak level, would be shattered so quickly.

Besides that, there was another hypothesis in his mind that he was reluctant to believe.
