Chapter 1005: Chapter 105: The Discolored Generals
Six hours later.
Douluo Federation’s Seventh Fleet’s Third Dragon King-Class Guard Ship.
“Received a message from the Thirty-Three Skywing warship,” the herald reported to Yan Xinghe.
“Read it,” Yan Xinghe said casually. He knew Lan Xuanyu and his team had ventured deep into the Dragon Horse Galaxy, and Yan Xinghe had great confidence in their abilities—after all, Lan Xuanyu was from Super God 58. Moreover, the Thirty-Three Skywing was a product of Tang Sect technology; faced with formidable enemies, even if they could not beat them, escaping shouldn’t be a big problem. Besides, the majority of the warships in the Dragon Horse Galaxy were now gathered near Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star, confronting them. These past few days, the Seventh Fleet’s actions had been very smooth, having destroyed a number of military facilities and plundered some resources, surely enough to cover the consumption of this military operation.
Eliminating the enemy’s living forces and strengthening their own, no doubt this was an extremely successful campaign.
“Yes. The Thirty-Three Skywing warship reports. They successfully infiltrated the Sky Domination Clan’s No. 76 Planet. And they blew up the core area where the Sky Domination Clan stored Space Source Crystals, causing a space storm on the surface of No.76 Planet. According to analysis, the Sky Domination Clan’s source of Space Source Crystals is completely destroyed, making it very difficult for Space Source Crystals to form again.”
“Oh, they blew up a military target! Not bad! And they were just seven people… Wait a minute—”
Yan Xinghe’s voice suddenly rose, “What did you just say they blew up?”
The herald, unaware of the significance of No. 76 Planet, immediately replied: “It’s No. 76 Planet, belonging to the Sky Domination Clan. They destroyed the source of Space Source Crystals.”
Yan Xinghe’s gaze instantly became vacant, and he slowly placed his coffee cup onto the table, fearing the next moment it might spill.
“They, they blew up the Sky Domination Clan’s lair? The Space Source Crystals, those are Space Source Crystals! Have they gone mad?”
The herald said, “They also warned that the Sky Domination Clan has many Sky Domination Warships and is likely to retaliate against us, so please be prepared.”
“Smack,” Yan Xinghe slapped his forehead, instantly understanding what a mess had been dumped onto him.
He had guessed that the disciples taught by his senior brother would definitely prefer unconventional battle strategies. Yet, he hadn’t imagined that Lan Xuanyu would be audacious to such an extent.
It was one thing to penetrate deep into enemy territory, another to target the Sky Domination Clan, but why blow up the Space Source Crystals? Space Source Crystals were treasures of the universe! Even the Douluo Federation would rather have the Space Source Crystals remain in the hands of the Sky Domination Clan and try by all means to exchange for some. With Space Source Crystals, the Federation’s Space Technology could advance rapidly, surely outpacing the research of the Dragon Horse Galaxy. And now, they had completely obliterated the Space Source Crystals.
“These… these seven kids, really, unbelievable!”
Yan Xinghe was dazed for a good while before he gradually recovered, pressing his hand to his chest, feeling his heart beat noticeably faster. He believed he was quite mentally resilient, but this time, even he felt nearly overwhelmed.
“Quick, connect me to the mothership, connect me to the Commander,” Yan Xinghe suddenly realized something, and without delay, hurriedly issued the order.
“`
Soon, the figure of General Bai Ling appeared on the large screen.
“What’s happened, Xinghe? Is everything still going smoothly on your end?” General Bai Ling asked with a smile.
Their military achievements in this campaign had been remarkable, and most importantly, it was their Seventh Fleet that had defeated the enemies, which was why they were tasked with the looting mission. As the fleet commander and the overall commander, these solid military achievements would surely elevate General Bai Ling’s stature within the military. Naturally, his mood was very good.
Yan Xinghe hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Commander, there’s been a problem. Remember the group of young people who came from Shrek Academy?”
General Bai Ling said, “Of course. Didn’t you even take the strongest team over to your side? These young people have performed very well. I’ve received reports from other warships, during the landing operations, they have shown strong capabilities. Especially those mechas that can transform into fighters, their combat effectiveness is pretty remarkable. The overall operations were commendable, and they’ve accumulated quite a bit of military merit. The strongest team is with you. What’s the problem with them now?”
Although the Seventh Fleet Commander listened to Yan Xinghe state the problem, he still had a chuckle. In his view, what kind of problems could Lan Xuanyu and his seven companions encounter? With hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Seventh Fleet, in the midst of a vast universe war, the role of individuals had become very trivial.
“I let them act freely to earn military merit. These guys, they have guts as big as the sky, they’ve ventured deep into the Dragon Horse Star System,” Yan Xinghe said with a wry smile.
General Bai Ling said, “The calf doesn’t fear the tiger! Were they captured? That’s not really a problem. The top strong individuals from the Sky Dragon and Sky Horse, and a batch of others from the Dragon Horse Star System, have already gone to our Mother Planet for negotiations. The military department just notified me to make our moves faster. Negotiations will ultimately require compromises from both sides. Continuing a large-scale war isn’t in the interest of either side and could only result in both sides losing. Our current move is to take advantage while we can. If they’ve been captured, tell me the exact location, and I’ll have them included in the negotiations to get them back.”
“They weren’t captured, Commander. Listen to me. Here’s what happened. Those kids blew up the Sky Domination Clan’s No. 76 Planet and eradicated the Space Source Crystals. I…”
General Bai Ling was at first startled by Yan Xinghe’s words, and then he was dumbfounded, “What? Wiped them out? They infiltrated No. 76 Planet? How is this possible? We paid such a high price just to know where No. 76 Planet was located. The Sky Domination Clan is full of strong individuals, and the defense for the Space Source Crystals is unimaginably strict. How could it have been destroyed?”
Yan Xinghe replied with a bitter smile, “I don’t know how they did it either. The message they sent was just that, and they told us to be careful, as the Sky Domination Clan will surely seek revenge. The Space Source Crystals were the core resource of the Sky Domination Clan and a treasure of the universe. I wasn’t expecting this to happen. But the Sky Domination Warships are powerful, and there are many strong individuals. We should still prepare for the worst. I estimate it won’t be long before the Sky Domination Clan’s warships come after us.”
General Bai Ling could no longer muster a smile; it was as if three dark lines had descended on his forehead, muttering, “Guts as big as the sky indeed! This matter is very troublesome. Wait for my orders. I need to report this to the federation immediately.”
With that, the general who was also experiencing a quickened heartbeat immediately terminated the communication.
The bombing of the Sky Domination Clan’s No. 76 Planet could potentially cause problems with the negotiations for both parties. This was truly…
An hour later, General Bai Ling spoke with Yan Xinghe again, his face now somewhat livid, “You immediately ask them if the bombing of No. 76 Planet was discovered, was it done by the federal fleet?”
“Yes, I’ll inquire right now. However, Commander, I think the likelihood of being discovered is low, first, because they weren’t flying our standard warships, but the Thirty-Three Skywing warship from the Tang Sect. According to our records, this warship was even registered at Paradise Planet and is affiliated with the Thirty-Three Skywing pirate group. Also, since they were able to escape alive, it’s very likely they had no close contact with the enemy. Otherwise, given their individual combat effectiveness, they wouldn’t have been able to escape,” Yan Xinghe had been contemplating this issue over the past hour and thus his assessment was very precise.
“Good, still ask them. I’ve been informed,” General Bai Ling ended the communication.
Twenty minutes later, the communication came through again, “Xinghe, destroy all related materials. This incident has never happened; we have never known about it. Do you understand?”
Yan Xinghe finally allowed himself a smile again, “Understood.”
