Chapter 1652: Chapter 1652: Ecological Fleet
The majority of those present nodded in agreement. The various pieces of information brought back by the infiltrating Sky Fighter gave them a comprehensive understanding of the Dragon Horse Federation. The more they understood, the more they were shocked. Over fifty Super God-level powerhouses had emerged from two planets, as well as the terrifying existence of Dragon Knights.
The establishment of the Dragon Horse Federation had the greatest impact on them, prompting them to dispatch marked warships to attempt to sabotage the opponent’s research system, but they failed. Under the guarding of powerful Dragon Knights, they had not the slightest chance.
War had long been on the agenda within the Douluo Federation. Even without the emergence of the Deep Red Realm, full-scale war mobilization had already begun. The reason was simple; as the speaker just mentioned, they dared not give the Dragon Horse Federation time to grow. Otherwise, once it developed, it would mean their time of destruction. The resources of the Dragon Horse Federation were simply too abundant.
Therefore, after the threat posed by the Deep Red Realm was announced, the speaker’s faction saw this as an unprecedented opportunity for the Douluo Federation. They believed they must use this chance to deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Horse Federation to gain more benefits and strengthen the Douluo Federation.
The stance of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, putting the fight against the Deep Red Realm first, greatly displeased the speaker’s faction. In their view, this behavior disregards the federation’s interests.
The Dragon Horse Federation was entirely adversarial and the greatest future threat. The current crisis was a golden opportunity for the Douluo Federation. Even if they didn’t add insult to injury, they could at least sit by and watch the tigers fight from the mountain!
However, the final vote in the council supported Shrek Academy and Tang Sect’s opinion. Surprisingly, even the Spirit Pagoda, which had always sided with the speaker, chose to support them. Historically, the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy, along with the Tang Sect, had not gotten along well, especially a millennia ago when tensions peaked.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, the Spirit Pagoda would side with Shrek Academy?
Helpless, the speaker could only secretly order the military to have the three fleets sent for support reduce their speed, arriving as slowly as possible, aiming to “miss” the opportunity.
Contrary to expectations, the Seventh Fleet defied the military’s secret orders, speeding up to reach the frontlines for support. Undoubtedly, Bai Ling, the general, had issues, at least not aligning with the high-ups in the military.
This enraged the speaker, and the Minister of Defense’s expression changed too. He had always regarded Bai Ling as his successor. Unexpectedly, Bai Ling would defy his orders at such a time.
Thus came the order to intercept any Dragon Horse Federation fleets. The speaker understood that after this battle ended, the Dragon Horse Federation, upon seeing the strength of the Douluo Federation Fleet, would demand further support. However, he didn’t want to see this situation arise. If the Deep Red Realm were destroyed quickly, his plan would fall apart. Finding another chance would be extremely difficult. The Dragon Horse Federation’s resources were abundant enough that they could recover quickly.
“I agree.” The head of defense, sitting among the military guards, raised his hand.
As he raised his hand, several other military generals behind him also raised their hands.
On the other side, members of the council and senior government officials also raised their hands one after another, expressing support for the proposal the speaker was about to issue.
Just then, a clear bell rang.
The speaker’s expression changed, and he immediately chose to connect. This was an internal communication channel for special occasions. For it to ring during such an important meeting, something significant must have occurred to interrupt his session.
“What’s the matter?” The speaker asked in a deep voice.
Soon, his expression changed, “What!” He slammed the table, his gaze becoming extremely sharp, immediately looking towards the Minister of Defense beside him.
…
Outer space, the channel between the Dragon Horse Galaxy and the Douluo Federation.
The Fourth Fleet hovered like a colossal beast in the distant space. Sitting within his own warship, Lan Xuanyu chose not to report the current situation to the Dragon Horse Federation. Reporting would only deepen the enmity between the two sides, and indeed, he couldn’t solve the situation at hand.
He had already seen how strong a Douluo Federation cosmic fleet could be. Charging through was impossible. If his parents couldn’t resolve things, he might have to find a way to return to Douluo Planet and have the academy intervene.
He waited for two whole days. In that time, space remained silent; they didn’t leave the Dragon Horse System’s area, and the Fourth Fleet on the other side made no move.
Fortunately, those Lan Xuanyu brought were all Blue Sea Tribe members piloting the warships, essentially his own people, who had no doubts about his decisions.
Three days was the limit Lan Xuanyu could accept. If nothing was resolved within three days, he would have to head to Douluo Planet. Otherwise, if he delayed too long, how would he account for himself after returning?
The third day quickly arrived, and the disappointment within Lan Xuanyu’s heart grew stronger. Was his homeland truly so short-sighted? Did they not really understand how terrifying the Deep Red Realm’s development could be? Perhaps they knew, but greed blinded them.
Everyone considers issues from different perspectives, but there must be no mistake on major issues! The Douluo Federation’s reaction to this matter was really disappointing to him.
But, at this point, it depended on the influence of the academy and the Tang Sect. Could the usually neutral academy gain more support in the council? The military’s stance was likely the most troublesome aspect. The most crucial point was the military’s lack of support. This was a big problem.
If the military supported them, the situation with the Fourth Fleet blocking things wouldn’t have occurred. From any angle, there was no reason to block the envoy. Yet the military did it, including the previous covert slowing of supportive fleets. These were all the military’s behind-the-scenes operations; otherwise, such actions wouldn’t have been possible.
And the military was the one holding the strongest cosmic fleet in the federation; nominally, the military had to follow the council’s orders. But just like General Bai Ling before, the commanders outside the base might not always obey. If the military wanted to outwardly comply but secretly defy, there was no way to control it.
During these days, apart from cultivating, Lan Xuanyu thought much. But no matter what, he must continue to move forward step by step.
He suddenly found it a bit amusing. Despite his continuous efforts, he was now ranked among the top five influences in the Dragon Horse Federation, wielding considerable influence. Yet in the Douluo Federation, his homeland, he felt powerless. Wasn’t that a form of irony? As a spy, he was nearly losing the trust of his home.
“Fleet. Second Seat, sir, a fleet is arriving.” Lan Bo’s voice interrupted Lan Xuanyu’s train of thought.
Lan Xuanyu quickly stood up and approached the main screen. Through the radar’s zoom-in, the scenery of distant space gradually emerged.
A total of twelve warships appeared quietly in space. They seemed to emerge from nothing, silently emerging from the darkness.
When Lan Xuanyu saw these warships, he immediately felt a surge of adrenaline, as the appearance of these warships was so familiar to him.
The leading warship was shockingly a massive Black Dragon. Its total length exceeded five thousand meters, even larger than most Dragon King-level guard ships. It was in true giant dragon form; even through radar, one could feel the endless pressure it exuded. Wasn’t this the likeness of the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian?
But even if Di Tian were still alive, he couldn’t possibly have such an enormous body!
