Chapter 1548: Chapter 504: Business Comes Knocking
"I see...
Thank you very much, Lord Fan Mao. The Gemini Civilization will not forget this contribution."
The soldier on the other end of the communication relaxed his tense expression after hearing Sisos’s explanation and let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at Bai Yi beside him with eyes filled with admiration and affirmation.
Recalling just after he heard Sisos’s response, he almost couldn’t handle it, almost thinking he had misheard.
As the commander of the Red Fleet, he is a true direct lineage and core of the Gemini Civilization, privy to much more confidential information than others.
Others may not understand these calamity creatures, but he is very clear about how strong those creatures were back then.
The simple Dragon Clan and Giant Beasts were manageable, but the major threat was that the technology level of the starry sky back then was insufficient; even the now-common Star Destroyer Cannons capable of annihilating 8th Rank threats were unstable.
Lacking sufficient destructive firepower, combined with these monsters erupting simultaneously on multiple planets, made those monsters terrifying back then.
If it were today, it would just cause some trouble at most, not a disaster.
Only the Insect Swarm remains a huge problem even in today’s starry sky.
Rapid reproduction, spreading swiftly, if the key is not found, is difficult to eliminate completely like a virus, and after ravaging one planet, it would actively spread outward.
He initially imagined when he received the emperor’s order to come here that the fleet led by Sisos would have already suffered heavy losses, and he would arrive just to clean up the aftermath and save these high-level strong persons.
The best result would be entering a comprehensive disadvantage, waiting for their arrival to strike back.
He hadn’t expected the outcome to be the complete opposite.
Before their arrival, the situation was already resolved, even his fleet’s specially carried "Anti-Insect Swarm Device" for locking onto the Mother Insect didn’t come into use.
It wasn’t until he got a simple understanding of the events from Sisos, confirming the entire logic was coherent and without any doubts, that he was ultimately convinced Sisos wasn’t fooling him but had truly solved the problem.
What surprised him even more was that all these turns of events were caused by one person.
He instantly somewhat understood why His Majesty the Emperor would pay so much attention to Fan Mao among so many high-level strong persons.
Although it was his first meeting with Fan Mao, as the commander of the Red Fleet, he already recognized Fan Mao.
However, now was clearly not the time for emotional exchange or rewarding merit, as the key issue of the Insect Swarm had been resolved, but those believers were still alive.
Since he was here, he couldn’t just turn back because the threat of the Insect Swarm disappeared.
The sword unsheathed must taste blood.
Since the Insect Swarm is gone, then start with those believers!
Straightening his emotions quickly, the commander immediately returned to the main topic, his expression reverted to military solemnity.
"How are the Church’s fleets holding up?"
"They’ve been suppressed and we’re in an advantageous position, but completely dealing with them will take time."
Sisos’s expression also involuntarily became serious along with the commander.
The commander glanced outside the projection and nodded, saying:
"Very well, the Red Fleet will soon arrive, keep an eye on our position.
Once we arrive, prioritize eliminating the remaining Church’s fleet.
The celebration can wait until we’ve fully dealt with the enemy and meet in person."
With that, the communication was one-sidedly cut off, leaving Bai Yi and Sisos looking at each other.
"Truly swift and decisive...
This is the core force of the Gemini Civilization? The Red Fleet...
A strange name..."
Bai Yi, who had been silent, remarked, realizing he had never heard this name before, and ultimately looked at Sisos with a hint of curiosity.
"I don’t know much either, only that it’s a secret fleet directly under the Gemini Emperor.
Corresponding to the Red Fleet, there is also an Azure Fleet, seemingly corresponding to the two emperors of the Gemini Civilization.
However, few have truly seen them, and there’s little intelligence."
"Red and Azure? Then..."
Hearing the two names, Bai Yi pondered slightly, seemingly about to grasp something, and wanted to inquire more.
But at this moment, Bai Yi felt something, suddenly turning to look back.
"Ha, it seems they’ve arrived..."
Following Bai Yi’s gaze in the direction, behind the fleet, a Gate of Ten Thousand Worlds appeared out of thin air in space and rapidly expanded.
Subsequently, a giant warship larger than a conventional warship squeezed out of it.
The entire ship was painted in crimson and appeared disc-shaped with a magic side aesthetic, surrounded by many massive concentric rings like a star ring, encircling the central disc-shaped warship.
Even from a great distance, it was possible to see the faint Magic Power Radiance emanating from the dense Enchantment Runes.
This warship, the Gemini Civilization, actually had complete enchantment on it! And it’s a high-tier enchantment!
Upon recognizing the craftsmanship depicted by this warship, Bai Yi immediately felt respect.
Not for the warship’s strength, but for the Gemini Civilization’s financial prowess!
The effect of these runes hand-enchanted by a Mage is even stronger than those metallically generated runes on the Insect Swarm’s shell.
The only drawback is that it’s too costly.
The cost of enchanting just this one warship could build dozens of identical unenchanted warships!
