Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1530: Chapter 575: King Goujian of Yue

Those who achieve great things can endure what others cannot.

Liu An had never thought of this truth before.

Because in his life, there weren’t many things he needed to endure. He always acted on his impulses, never subscribing to the idea that revenge is a dish best served cold.

But now, when the moment has arrived, he has to endure even if he doesn’t want to.

"Since you’ve pointed a gun at my head, I just might take a look at what bullets you’ve loaded in it."

Liu An, after all, had some significant skills, and he quickly found a way to persuade himself.

He immediately ordered the intelligence group on the flagship to unveil all the detection equipment that would normally only be activated in battle, not worrying about causing misunderstandings. You’ve already got a gun to my head, so how can you not let me open my eyes to see what model it is?

Following Liu An’s order, he instructed his men to thoroughly uncover Earl Red Blade’s every secret to clearly see the model of that "gun", assess its power, and understand how many people the "bullets" could kill with one shot.

Quickly, a series of highly accurate 3D modeling maps and internal structural analyses with a perspective effect were presented before Liu An’s eyes.

One glance was enough to make Liu An gasps in astonishment.

"This... This is a Teng San-class high-speed high-explosive antimatter missile, with a cruising speed of up to 0.4 times the speed of light, a range of 0.1 light years, an effective kill radius of six thousand kilometers, a strong adaptive terminal recognition ability, and can be equipped with a manned guidance cabin. This is top-tier equipment in the Far Border Star Domain!"

"This is a Sky Wind Energy Particle Flow Cannon, capable of sustained firing, with an effective kill time of up to five minutes. Its particle flow beam has extremely strong penetration, ignoring force field shields and metal shields, and poses a severe threat to the biological electricity stability within carbon-based life forms. Isn’t this a new item that just passed verification at the Far Border Branch, not yet popularized in the Royal Direct Fleet of the Far Border Star Domain? How did it appear here?"

"And their armor... This is self-repairing anti-energy armor with extremely strong defense!"

"What’s this connection part simulated in the data? Alpha bionic metal tendons?"

"And there’s more..."

Liu An, being a seasoned aristocratic military Earl, indeed had a keen insight. Even though he only awakened seven days every ten years on average, he nonetheless maintained keen updates on the Empire’s military advancements. In less than five minutes, he identified at least a dozen formidable items that neither he nor the Nanxiang Military and Political Center’s Direct Army had.

"What on earth did Earl Ren Zhong do during those two years at Wangjiang Star? Did he empty out the Royal Academy of Sciences’ Far Border Branch? Damn it! Is that even possible?"

If before coming here, Liu An had some sense of superiority as an old-school noble in the face of Ren Zhong, who "only" had 150 feudal star systems, he prided himself no matter how much potential Earl Red Blade had or how intimidating the title of Sequence Chosen One was, he himself held an absolute advantage.

Now, the instant Liu An’s sense of superiority was completely shattered.

Liu An painfully glanced at the other side, where the projection displayed a summary of intelligence gathered by his organization about the Red Blade Clan, and with a painful forehead support, he murmured in his heart: "Losing the Chief Officer position at the Military and Political Center has severely crippled my intelligence capability. I just knew Earl Red Blade worked at the Far Border Branch and that the Red Blade Clan was developing rapidly, but I never imagined they had reached this level."

Then Liu An secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Fortunately, he personally came to apologize, otherwise, he might have been kept in the dark.

Moreover, Duke Wenle must be aware of this information.

But since Duke Wenle made arrangements, it means no matter how strong the Red Blade Clan’s forces are, the situation is still under control.

Things haven’t reached an irreversible point.

"Phew, anyway, when I meet Earl Red Blade, I have to sincerely apologize. Let’s just start with that."

Strangely enough, once recognizing the current strength of Earl Red Blade, Liu An’s sense of humiliation considerably diminished, even finding the warship with exposed weapons above his head somewhat agreeable.

...

Two days later, Ren Zhong, who had temporarily ended his stay-at-home life, sat at the top of the newly constructed Red Peak Earl Mansion’s grand hall.

The design of this grand hall was quite ingeniously conceived, allowing Ren Zhong to overlook most people in the conference from a vantage point.
