Chapter 1597: Chapter 1597 Waiting
"Thank you, Second Seat." Lan Xuanyu said sincerely. No matter what, Zhong Zhichang has always been quite good to him.
"Second Seat, when can our reinforcements arrive? Can you contact the Leader?" Lan Xuanyu asked directly, without further evasion.
Zhong Zhichang glanced at him and said, "Let’s see how the Tianhe Emperor responds first."
With his statement, Lan Xuanyu immediately understood that the Dragon Horse Federation’s reinforcements were likely already under control, but they simply chose not to come to Celestial Harmony Star at the earliest opportunity. This was, of course, due to private interests and the tremendous apprehension towards the power of the Tianhe Fleet. For the Dragon Horse Federation, the best scenario is still for Celestial Harmony Star and the Deep Red Realm to both suffer great losses. The power displayed by the Tianhe Fleet earlier was already something that the Dragon Horse Federation could hardly contend with, even with the fleet alone. That’s the greatest confidence of the Celestial Harmony Clan. The existence of such a fleet, unknown to both the Dragon Clan and the Sky Horse Clan, has undoubtedly triggered great nerves in the Dragon Horse Federation leadership. Especially the combat style of the Tianhe Fleet was clearly aimed at top-tier powerhouses. Even the federation system was something that not even a Dragon Knight can easily penetrate.
Lan Xuanyu seriously said, "Second Seat, I think we can’t wait. Whatever scheme the Deep Red Realm has, it should be swiftly resolved as soon as possible. Lingering dreams can turn into nightmares. The threat from the Deep Red Realm is far beyond what the Celestial Harmony Clan can compare. This time, the Celestial Harmony Clan is already gravely wounded, and their trump cards have been exposed. Exposed trump cards have limited threats."
Zhong Zhichang naturally understood his meaning; if the trump cards of the Celestial Harmony Clan were strong enough to challenge the entire Dragon Horse Federation, the Celestial Harmony Clan would have already taken action. Even though the Tianhe Fleet is formidable, it’s not sufficient compared to the top-tier powerhouses of the Dragon Clan and the Sky Horse Clan.
"I understand your point." Zhong Zhichang nodded his head, not saying much, but Lan Xuanyu could tell from his gaze that he probably agreed with his opinion.
About half an hour later, the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister flew back, with a solemn expression on his face.
"How is it?" Zhong Zhichang asked.
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister said in a deep voice, "I’ve contacted His Majesty and informed him of the current situation and our judgments. His Majesty said that he is currently stationed at the core, not yet eroded. But resisting has been extremely difficult; the Deep Red Realm is like a drill, spiraling downward, attempting to breach the defenses of the planetary Core of Life, and consuming the planet’s energy as it breaks through, making resistance very difficult. His Majesty won’t last much longer; once the defenses are breached, both the Core of Life and the Tianyang Core will be exposed to the Mother of Deep Red, and if she sweeps away both cores, she will be able to swallow over seventy percent of the planet’s life energy, which would be the arrival of disaster. Second Seat, how long until the federation’s reinforcements can arrive?
Zhong Zhichang looked at the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister with a deep gaze, "The reinforcements will soon arrive; please inform His Majesty that no matter what, he must withstand the erosion of the Deep Red Realm. The survival of the Celestial Harmony Clan depends on this. We will spare no effort."
"Yes!" The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister agreed and said, "Then I will go gather the army to prepare for their next wave of attacks."
After saluting Zhong Zhichang and Lan Xuanyu, he left once more.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t say anything; the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister’s reply was actually within his expectations. Whether his words were true or false, the purpose was unquestionably to hope for the reinforcements to arrive soon. The internal defense of Celestial Harmony Star should not face too big an issue temporarily; otherwise, the Tianhe Emperor should have hurried over himself. The planetary Core of Life in the defense against the Deep Red Realm, more of him doesn’t add much, less of him doesn’t subtract much. As long as the Tianyang Core remains there, it is already the biggest help to the Core of Life.
Lan Xuanyu could now pretty accurately guess the mindset of the Celestial Harmony Clan. This invasion by the Deep Red Realm undoubtedly caused severe losses to the entire Celestial Harmony Clan. But they did obtain the Tianyang Core; as long as they can let the Core of Life devour the Tianyang Core, then the losses are not unacceptable. After all, the greatest loss of life strength was from that collision, and overall, the vitality was preserved. As long as the planet can evolve after this war, then the Celestial Harmony Clan will have the foundation to rise again, plus the Tianhe Fleet, there’s no need to confront the Dragon Horse Federation; as long as there’s time to develop, they can at least exist on equal footing with the Dragon Clan and Sky Horse Clan.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that Jiang Weiqiang, the Sky Dragon Leader, had already left a backdoor in the Tianyang Core, and no matter what, Jiang Weiqiang would not allow the Tianyang Core to truly be consumed by the Celestial Harmony Clan. If necessary, detonating the Tianyang Core is not only to deal with the Deep Red Realm.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Zhong Zhichang, Zhong Zhichang said, "You retreat to a safe place first, you don’t need to worry about the battles here. Just observe from a distance. Once the reinforcements arrive, you return to the fleet, continue to command the fleet, and be responsible for supporting us."
"Yes!" Zhong Zhichang’s order was undoubtedly to keep him away from the battlefield; when the reinforcements arrive, it will be the moment the real battle begins, the most dangerous time. Returning him to the fleet, naturally, is the best way to ensure his safety.
Saying farewell to Zhong Zhichang, Lan Xuanyu quickly returned to his companions, and it must be said, the energy he previously devoured was truly considerable. It greatly helped him stabilize his cultivation in the True God realm.
At this moment, the companions were all gathered together for rest. Now within the Thirty-Three Skywing, Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, Tang Yuge, and Qian Lei had all successfully broken through to God Rank. Lan Mengqin, Yuanen Huihui, and Liu Feng were not far away either. Others also made progress with the life energy provided by Lan Xuanyu.
"How’s the situation?" Bai Xiuxiu asked as she greeted him upon his return.
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, "It’s still unclear; everything depends on when the Dragon Horse Federation’s reinforcements arrive to see the direction. What we need to do now is to observe calmly. Once the Dragon Horse Federation’s reinforcements arrive, we immediately retreat. The Dawn Dragon Knight’s order to me is that when the reinforcements arrive, we return to the fleet to provide support."
Bai Xiuxiu chuckled softly, "The Second Seat treats you well, huh! Could it be that he’s interested in you too?"
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes, "You think too much. Prepare, we’re ready to retreat at any time."
Bai Xiuxiu was somewhat surprised, "Really retreat?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded, "The Mother’s attack from Deep Red earlier was extremely terrifying. Later, when the reinforcements arrive, both the Sky Dragon Leader and the Sky Horse Sect Leader are likely to come. Such a battle is not something we can contend with. It’s best to stay away from it. Although riches are sought amidst risks, if the danger far exceeds our capacity, it’s prudent to avoid it. We’ve gained quite a bit this time. The battle ahead won’t end so easily; there’ll be another opportunity."
"Alright." Bai Xiuxiu held his hand, whispered, "Should we try the cultivation method of the Dragon Knight?"
Lan Xuanyu was stunned, "Weren’t you always against it?"
Bai Xiuxiu retorted with annoyance, "I want to help you, not always waiting for you to return from your risky adventures. Do you know what waiting feels like? At least that way, I can stay by your side, able to help you."
Lan Xuanyu looked at her somewhat resentful expression, filled with guilt, and tightens his grip on her hand, then nodded.
Bai Xiuxiu pinched him lightly, whispered, "Were you waiting for this day for a long time? You just want to ride me, don’t you?"
"I did not. Even if I did, I didn’t plan to let others see it." Lan Xuanyu said with a chuckle.
