Yu Muchen snorted, “I have always been against this unwritten rule of the Federation. Talented people should be used on the front lines. Don’t worry, this time, I will find a way to break this system. And it will be on this kid, Xuanyu.”
“Hmm?” Meng Fei looked at Lan Xuanyu with some surprise, and the other god-rank powerhouses’ gazes also fell on Lan Xuanyu.
Yu Muchen said, “You don’t need to look at him. The reason why I support him this time is that he promised to do three things for me in the future. I have a suggestion. Before entering the Inner Court of Shrek Academy, let him come to the army and serve on the front line for a year. It will increase his experience in the military. If he can really achieve outstanding achievements, it will prove that the talents trained by Shrek Academy can also become pillars of the army. This is very beneficial for us to fight against that system and for his personal growth.”
In a faint voice, Elder Yi said, “Save the person first, then we’ll talk.”
Yu Muchen’s eyes flickered, nodding as he said, “Naturally.” His proposal was certainly motivated by personal gain, but it was also openly presented, as it was beneficial for Lan Xuanyu himself.
That day, in order to convince him, Lan Xuanyu had revealed his own situation, and Yu Muchen had carefully considered the young man’s circumstances. It wasn’t admiration, but rather a sense of fear. Because he saw that this young man, who was still unknown in the federation, could very well become the backbone of the next generation of Shrek Academy.
The contemporary Shrek Seven Monsters were all extraordinary individuals. While Lan Xuanyu might not have known this, he certainly did. For instance, the unassuming middle-aged man before him was the Tang Sect’s Douluo Palace Lord, one of the top figures in the Tang Sect and a powerful expert second only to the Sect Master. He was also one of the contemporary Shrek Seven Monsters, although not the leader.
So who was the leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters? It was none other than the contemporary Tang Sect Master, a figure who commanded a great power in the region.
As for Lan Xuanyu, with the potential he displayed, who could say he wouldn’t become the leader of the next generation of Shrek Seven Monsters? Normally, Shrek Academy wouldn’t let him appear in the Federation’s sight until he grew up. But due to unforeseen circumstances that threatened the Federation’s survival, Lan Xuanyu had emerged and caught the attention of Yu Muchen.
His recruitment was out of the question, since the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would not allow it, but the War God Tem had shown their goodwill, even genuinely wanting what was best for him. They were willing to let him join the military and gain experience there, so his attitude towards the military in the future would definitely be different.
What was the military? It was a place where people could grow the most, be easily influenced, and have the strongest sense of collective honor.
Therefore, Yu Muchen’s approach was a thorough strategy. He never intended to gain anything from Lan Xuanyu, but to make a contribution to his growth. It was like the way Elder Shu treated Lan Xuanyu in the beginning, “I was good to you, can’t you feel good about me?”
Sure enough, even Elder Yi did not refuse, which meant that Yu Muchen’s goal had been basically achieved.
“General, we have received a signal from the mother ship and are permitted to land.”
“Land,” Yu Muchen said in a deep voice.
The Federal Seventh Fleet gradually came to a stop, and the various lights on the surface of each battleship began to dim in order to conserve energy. The amount of energy consumed by a fleet every second was astronomical!
Two guide ships had already arrived near the War God War Seventeen battleship, and communication and scanning were carried out. After the inspection was completed, the order to land was given.
The fleet opened a passage, and under the guidance of the guide ships, the War God Seventeenth flew towards the direction of the mother ship at a steady speed.
Lan Xuanyu had been standing by the porthole the whole time, and the spark in his eyes was undeniable. Those seemingly cold battleships made him feel so passionate.
This was a space fleet! One consisting of hundreds of battleships.
The War God class battleship had a stunning dark blue exterior, and the caliber of its main gun was so large that it could easily fit a small warship inside. One shot from such a gun would have a terrifying amount of power.
A battleship at this level was much larger than a first-level meteor assault ship. Piloting it must be completely different from a meteor assault ship. He really wanted to try it out!
As they got closer, he finally saw the ferocity of the Dragon King-class escort ship. How many gun ports were there? He couldn’t even count them all. It looked like a giant hedgehog with spikes ready to be released at any moment. The gun ports of varying lengths were likely different types of soul cannons. It was a truly fearsome presence, like something out of a nightmare.
If the mother ship felt heavy, then the Dragon King-class escort ship felt ferocious! The four Dragon King-class escort ships were like four divine beasts guarding the mother ship. Their firepower was enough to seal off all the space around the mother ship.
On the mother ship, light was flickering, and the enormous sphere ahead emitted a faint white halo. If one looked closely at the huge ball of light, Lan Xuanyu would even feel a bit dizzy. It was evident how terrifying the energy fluctuations were.
On the deck of the mother ship, it looked much calmer than the Dragon King-class frigate, but the endless and gloomy light revealed its danger.
Guided by the lead ship, they finally entered the range of the mother ship. It was only when they got closer that they felt how small they were. The mother ship was just too big. The huge warship was over 10,000 meters long, and even up close, it felt like there was no end in sight. The width was over 4,000 meters. Below them, a metal deck opened, revealing an entrance. The warship slowly entered it.
As the thrusters were turned off, there was a natural suction force guiding the warship into the interior. After sliding for several minutes, the warship finally came to a smooth stop.
Lan Xuanyu’s heart was a little nervous, but also a bit excited. When he saw this huge space fleet, his confidence in this rescue mission clearly increased a lot.
He was not the only one who saw the space fleet for the first time, there was also Mister Le. Mister Le was also shocked. When he swept across those warships, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
He had once destroyed a warship with his bare hands in space, and his perception was many times stronger than Lan Xuanyu’s. But the more so, the more he could feel the horror of this mothership. It was a deadly sense of crisis. There was a feeling that as long as you were hostile to it, you would definitely die. Personal strength was so insignificant in front of such a terrifying war machine.
And such fleets of the Douluo Federation numbered up to seven. It was precisely because of this that the Douluo Federation was able to expand outward and acquire resource stars at such a rapid pace in recent centuries. If it weren’t for the interference of the Dragon Horse Nebula, the territory controlled by the Douluo Federation would be at least twice as large as it is now.
The warship came to a stop and there were already soul cars waiting outside. Or rather, shuttle cars inside the warship. Yes, the mother ship was just too large, and for efficiency’s sake, shuttle cars were an important means of transportation here.
When they disembarked from the warship, there were a dozen or so people waiting outside, their stars shining brightly. All of them held ranks of general or higher.
Among them, the man standing at the front had short, white hair and four stars on his shoulders.
This was already the highest rank in the Federation, General! Without asking, everyone knew that this was the overall commander of the Seventh Fleet, the Fleet Commander, General Bai Ling. He was one of the top military leaders in the armed forces.
The seven fleets of the Federation were each commanded by a general, along with the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff.
There were only nine generals in total. Among these nine generals, General Bai Ling was relatively young and was only 75 years old this year. However, he looked like he was only in his fifties.
