Chapter 444: Departure (Part 2)
Chapter 444: Before Departure (Part 1)
In the secret conference room, the five big guys sat together again and exchanged views on the situation in the starry sea in recent times!
Wilbert took the lead and said, "Everyone! You all know the movements on Ximeng Xingyuan, right? What should we do next? Everyone might as well speak freely!"
The army of the Tiloya Empire he mentioned suddenly suspended all military operations, and the entire army contracted its defense line and could not hide things.
Of course, this is definitely not because Emperor Ferossi is polite to the soldiers, but because he has a more feasible breakthrough plan! This has withdrawn all the conventional military forces from the battlefield.
According to the news from the spies sent by several forces, the Empire secretly sent several special engineering ships, and the situation was unknown under the escort of a large number of supernatural masters! I don’t know what killer moves are being planned!
Difuria said: "Maybe they have made some powerful methods recently and are planning to move them out and experiment. Maybe they can create a safe passage!"
"It's possible!" Baudelaire nodded in agreement with his point of view.
"However, I believe it was the Zhanying Clan's work! Those profit-oriented volleyball players, somehow recently, suddenly came to sell us those amazing weapons and equipment! In the past, they would never sell these powerful weapons that could hurt them in large quantities!"
Xia Qiying said, "Since they can sell things to us, of course they can trade with other forces! As long as they can make money, it's nothing strange!"
Devrai said a little annoyed: "A few days ago, we were happy that we had a batch of powerful equipment! We thought we could consolidate the defense line better now, and we could even consider taking the initiative! But if the empire got the same thing, we still can't take it lightly! Hey! These smart guys!"
Xia Qiying sighed: "This is the smartness of those volleyball teams! Both sides of the battle paid a huge amount of Yuanjing to buy their equipment, but in the end they found that their strategic balance did not change at all! The only benefit was the group of guys who counted the money and cramped their hands!"
"I don't know how much price Emperor Ferossius paid to exchange for some of the Zhanying clan's technologies to open up a security corridor in the Ximeng Star Abyss!"
Diveria asked, "What should I do now? Let them do it?"
Xia Qiying shook her head: "Of course not! The Empire will not get what it wants! In fact, those volleyball teams care more about the safety of this defense than we do!"
"You mean..." Wilbert asked in uncertain tone as if he had guessed some reason.
"Everyone prepare enough Yuanjing!" she smiled bitterly, "This group of volleyballs will be sold to us soon, and some of the technologies and equipment that can curb the Imperial Action!"
"These bitches are raised!" Baudelaire finally understood and cursed in anger!
The Zhanying clan is not very interested in the territory, nor does he intend to inquire about the regime change in the human world. Their biggest pursuit is Yuan Jing! Playing balance between several forces is just to make as much profit as possible!
Just like this time, in order to curb the empire's ambitions, the five major forces will have to offer a large number of source crystals to feed them again!
Then, when the Empire finds that it still cannot achieve its goal, another volleyball team will run away and continue to sell them something new, fooling them into paying for it again!
This goes on and on! Until the oil and water on both sides are squeezed dry! But nothing can be changed! And this group of cunning volleyball players hide in their lairs, counting money happily while mocking the stupid humans!
Moreover, even if you see their sinister intentions, you have no choice but to pay! Otherwise, you will wait for the defense line to be broken and the empire's army rushed over and snatch everything from you!
"Maybe, we can try to talk to the old emperor!" William suggested, "He is not a fool either. He should understand that it will not benefit anyone if he continues to waste like this! Apart from the cheaper group of aliens!"
"You can try it!" Devrai said helplessly.
This method, not to mention being a tiger, is actually not far from being a tiger. No matter what, Emperor Ferossi wants the entire Prison Soul Star Sea! He will do anything to do for this. Even though he knows that the volleyball players have bad intentions, he is unlikely to give up easily!
The few people were silent for a while, and Wibert said again: "Okay! Let's put this aside for the time being, let's discuss the issue of the kingdom in the east!"
"You mean the Star Kingdom?" Baudelaire asked in confusion.
"Didn't that queen be killed when attacked? The Shufeng Empire changed its course. It is said that the Empress Dowager in the new administration has a very unfriendly attitude towards them! This kingdom is no longer considered dangerous to us!"
Wilbert said: "That's right! The situation in that superpower is now very unstable. The newly acquired southern Xinjiang region is actually in a state of division! There is no longer much threat to the Prison Soul Star Sea!"
"But the key to the problem is not here! The Star Kingdom did not seem to decline due to the loss of strong aids! On the contrary, the young Majesty still led his fleet to fight everywhere! In a few months, he captured more than fifty star fields!"
"Just a while ago, his fleet had gathered on the western border of the kingdom. It seemed that there was a tendency to come to us!"
Devrai disagreed: "As long as he has no support from that great power behind him, we don't have to worry about him! So what if he wants to expand his territory? Can a kingdom with shallow foundation be comparable to us?"
There are dozens of small and medium-sized forces distributed on the western border of the Starry Kingdom; further west are more than twenty major forces with an area of more than fifty star domains. To the west of these major forces, it is the territory of the alliance of five major forces!
In terms of distance, the Starlight Kingdom is still more than 100,000 light years away from them! It will not threaten them at all for a while!
The reason why the previous five major alliances of forces were wary of this country that had just been established was mainly because they were concerned about the power of the Shufeng Empire! Now that the marriage has been abolished, the throne has changed, and the kingdom with no backing is not changed, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot change its current situation of shallow foundation and poor national strength!
Even if the king grabs more territory, it is impossible to build a powerful country that poses enough threat to them in the short term! This is the consensus view of the Starry Kingdom among the few here!
Deferia said: "His Excellency Wilbert, I think you are a little too worried! Although the Star Kingdom is in the limelight recently, it is not enough to pose a threat to us! If you want to become a strong country, it is not enough to have territory! Resources, population, technology, industrial foundation, military power, etc. are needed too many things! And this is not a problem that can be solved in the short term!"
"What if he doubles his territory? Even if he is poor and backward, although the population is larger, they are all inferior people who have never done first-level gene optimization! There is sufficient resources, but the related mining and smelting industries are extremely backward, and there is almost no basis. It is also a burden if he gets it!"
"If these territories are allowed to be taken away by the Shufeng Empire with a strong industrial foundation, it will have significant benefits for the improvement of national strength! But for this poor kingdom, for a considerable period of time, it will only become their burden! It will not play a role in the bonus of strength at all!"
Xia Qiying said: "As such a vast territory, at least enough strategic maneuver space can be added?"
"That's the benefit!" Baudelaire nodded,
"But for a country that has just been established, unless he has a lot of funds and technical foreign aid, he will not be able to develop in the short term! The king is so powerful and will one day exhaust his already unpopular family background! It will eventually lead to the bankruptcy of the country!"
Wilbert sighed and said, "Everyone, I have to admit that your views are actually not wrong, and they reveal the biggest weakness of a new regime! I thought so before! But now I realize that we are all wrong!"
"The trump card of this new kingdom is not just the support of the Shufeng Empire! It can rise so quickly, and the contribution of the Cangling Organization is in it!"
"What?" All four people present changed their faces!
Wilbert took out a large-capacity chip, embedded it into the optical brain on the table, and then said:
"This is some information collected from the Xinghui Kingdom by me secretly sent out recently! Everyone can take a look!"
The huge three-dimensional image shows the recent situation of major star fields in the kingdom!
The video data is not coherent and is spliced together by multiple videos, but it can also be seen that the development status of this kingdom is far from what they thought they had previously thought!
Cities, mines, energy bases, large industrial zones... Almost every star field and every ecological planet, there are countless large-scale projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood under construction! Many of them have been completed and have begun to operate normally!
It can also be seen that the technical level of these projects is first-class! The large number of automated machinery and equipment used are also extremely advanced models! Some equipment may not even be available on the territory of these five major forces!
But this is not the most surprising thing! Those scaryly large military bases, the giant spaceports under construction in the synchronous orbit of major administrative planets, and the super military fortresses that are being built near the entrance of the wormhole! They all feel chilled!
Devrai breathed a long sigh: "My God! Is this the weather possible for a newly established kingdom? With so many projects, how many source crystals do you need to burn it!"
"I wouldn't even doubt it if these images were brought from a superpower!" Baudelaire said with a wry smile.
"This is just some information collected from public channels!" Wilbert said in a deep voice.
"Their security department is very strict, and my people dare not make too many moves! But it is conceivable that in places where our eyes cannot reach, how many deadly things are unknown to us!"
"Can it be humans' attacks?" another elder asked.
"Humans? Do they have this strength?" The elder who spoke before said disdainfully.
"Don't say that they have no strong men who can fight against the God of Ghost, even if they are at the Sea of Yanxing, it is impossible to find them with their skills!"
"Is there any civilization we don't know about intervening in the disputes in the Star Sea World?" Zhan Yingwang asked slowly.
"The first time I appeared, I destroyed a large tribe of my clan! I did it quietly! What do they mean? Do they demonstrate?"
Aware of the anger hidden in its words, the elders did not dare to say anything!
"Okay! Since you can't find out the conventional means! Then open our clan's artifact "Zuoji Tianyin"! Reverse time! See what it is! Dare to provoke the dignity of the ancient and noble Zhanying clan!" Zhanying King announced.
"But! Great Your Majesty!" an elder said tremblingly,
"Activating the 'Zuoji Tianyin' requires unimaginable life energy! It will cause considerable damage to Your Majesty's strength! Why don't we do it for you?"
King Zhanying pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, all elders above the fifteenth level will participate in the opening ceremony together! If this is the average, the losses will not be considered unacceptable!"
Chapter completed!
