Chapter 1638 - 526: This Isn’t What Was Promised?
Chapter 1638: Chapter 526: This Isn’t What Was Promised?
Moreover, the same conditions will only have another chance; if, after the war, he still doesn’t accept, I’m afraid the conditions they can get will be even worse.
But if they plan to make him surrender just like that, they are thinking too much.
This is also their opportunity; as long as they can demonstrate more strength and gain more advantages this time, it can also be used as a trump card to force the other side to make concessions.
If they can defeat the Insect Clan, maybe they can get the other side to accept their terms!
Even up till now, the President has completely lost hope in this, but as humans they must have dreams, right?
Anyway, it won’t be any worse than it is now.
"Fine! Then let’s speak with strength!"
The President agreed immediately, and ordered the two agents to leave.
It’s just that the President did not expect not to gain any advantages at all.
After the President’s communication was disconnected, it was like she said just now; there was no regret about the lack of result this time.
After all, this is the normal reaction; if any Lord were suddenly requested to hand over all their territory without reason, they wouldn’t obediently comply.
Moreover, she hasn’t shown real power yet.
The purpose of this visit was just to confirm the intention to cooperate.
After confirming that it’s just like the believer who dialed the "call" into her hand said, this civilization indeed had the intention to cooperate, the remaining matters became simple.
"Little Tower, you can proceed now; remember not to make too much noise."
"Yes! My master!"
The voice in the network from the Insect Swarm’s collective consciousness was strikingly similar to hers, with obvious excitement in the tone.
"Be mindful of the impact, and cooperate well with the Church..."
Feeling Little Tower’s consciousness rapidly diminishing, Bai Yi helplessly shook her head.
"Forget it, Little Tower should know the limits.
Ha, just now it seemed that some interesting knowledge appeared in the memories of those Mechanical Master experimental subjects..."
Bai Yi rubbed her hands, her eyes bending together with her mouth corners before teleporting away.
On the other side, Little Tower, who returned to the Insect Swarm, conveyed Bai Yi’s instructions. The swarm, originally waiting silently in space, knew about the upcoming war and instantly stirred into action.
Like a dense black mass resembling ordinary meteors suddenly coming to life, directed by the collective consciousness to aim at one direction.
From the swarm’s perspective, nothing was visible yet, but in the insect network, massive amounts of nodes from afar fed new information into the network intermittently, piecing together a huge battlefield star map.
The direction they were aiming at was precisely a fleet of the Roes Civilization.
"As planned, switch to disguise, increase defense index and life index to 70%..."
Random thoughts in the network materialized into a series of commands. The swarm’s shell wriggled, and the disguise that hadn’t yet been removed morphed again, with numerous Magic Runes appearing on the carapace.
The goal this time is to demonstrate strength, but at the same time not expose too much externally.
For seemingly conflicting two demands, ancient boarding battles, or jumping battles, are the best choice.
This approach allows demonstrating power to the rulers of this civilization; battles inside warships cannot be known externally, enabling complete information lockdown.
In fact, this is a tactic often used by many space Transcendents, especially in small-scale conflicts.
However, Bai Yi has hardly fought any small-scale space battles; it’s either Transcendent brawl or large fleet bombardment, lacking experience in similar tactics.
Of course, the display of strength is not just limited to this; the swarm’s boarding tactics also require additional support.
Little Tower immediately separated part of itself, projecting it onto the nodes in the distance that intermittently fed information.
These were believers from the Red Moon Church, who were secretly promoted to Fifth Tier believers, and are real insiders.
Each held a key position in Roes Civilization, managing crucial departmental operations, not exposed in the prior network.
"Follow the master’s order, prepare for action!"
Compared to the swarm, these believers didn’t need detailed commands; leaving part of their consciousness, the prepared swarm immediately began to move.
Five minutes later, Roes Civilization Mother Star
Inside the temporarily set-up operation command room, a giant 3D projection cast the battlefield’s star map in front of the President, with numerous staff around processing various intel nervously on their projection screens.
Not only the President, the majority of the ministers from the last meeting had gathered here.
Together with the President, they focused on the war that had just erupted ahead.
"Mr. President, Fleet 03 up ahead has already contacted the swarm and encountered the swarm’s boarding tactics. The warship has been invaded by the swarm! Requesting support!"
"Send our Extraordinary Corps for support!"
"Mr. President, a large-scale swarm attack has erupted on three Colonization Stars; the existing garrison has suffered heavy losses, but no confirmed damage reports yet..."
"Order the nearest fleet to dispatch support immediately; we absolutely must not lose..."
"Mr. President..."
Even though most minor matters were handled by surrounding staff, a massive amount of information still gathered before the President and several ministers, awaiting their authorization.
Staff members came and went one after the other; finally catching a moment’s gap, the President managed to catch his breath.
"I hadn’t expected that right after we finished our communication about displaying strength, the war would start immediately...
