Chapter 1666 - 533: The "Arms" Race Triggered by Fan Mao_3
Chapter 1666: Chapter 533: The "Arms" Race Triggered by Fan Mao_3
The Three Great Civilizations are like this: as long as the external pressure decreases, each will inevitably start having their own little schemes within.
This is good news for us."
The Favored squinted, selectively ignoring the fact that their own church had similar issues internally, paused slightly, and continued:
"Moreover, each time Fan Mao acts, although our people get severely injured, they’ve been able to escape in time.
No real damage was caused.
So, with the current strengthening of powers, it’s not much of an impact on us.
According to our prior plans, if we can’t fight, can’t we at least hide?"
With the gradually uplifting tone and the corners of their mouth lifted, a slightly relaxed and joyful atmosphere spread in the room.
The worries originally in their hearts were lifted, and rationality returned to the believers. However, a fleet commander, who also participated in the meeting, suddenly recalled an almost forgotten riddle.
"By the way, Your Excellency, Favored, there’s something odd I truly don’t understand.
According to the current war situation, there’s already a mutual understanding that both sides’ high-tiers would refrain from acting rashly, yet this surprise attack by Fan Mao was completely unexpected.
An additional assault arranged by the Three Great Civilizations.
But I don’t get the motive of this attack at all.
Other than clashing with us, it seems like we didn’t suffer any losses.
Even those direct lineages following the Radiant Civilization only damaged a few warships, as if it were just an ordinary assault.
And after our retreat, even they withdrew before the assault could fully play out, rendering any purpose unintelligible."
The commander crossed his arms and thought in all seriousness, it was like they summoned us just to say hello, completely baffling.
But when it comes to war, he couldn’t believe that the Three Great Civilizations or Fan Mao would do something so enigmatic.
Unable to find an answer, the commander cast an inquiring glance at their own Favored.
"This...
It can’t just be to scare us, right...
They’re not children..."
"Huh, maybe that’s exactly their aim."
The Favored of the "Creator" spread his hands, chuckled lightly, and replied.
"Had we not just speculated the truth, our morale could have been heavily impacted, possibly causing the low-tier believers to collapse entirely, surrendering on their own.
Although such intimidation tactics appear simple and blatant, they are indeed effective.
Not just the lower-tier believers, didn’t we just get a scare too?"
The scrutinizing gaze swept over everyone present, and those who wanted to stubbornly refute the notion earlier, now lowered their heads under the gaze.
"Then, if we encounter Fan Mao again next time..."
"Respond as I just advised, do not provoke actively, and notify us at the first opportunity.
If she dares come by, have the fleet deal with her directly!
Hm! Whenever you spot Fan Mao’s battlefield, a fleet must be reserved to shadow her!
No matter what, do not engage!"
With a self-evident expression, the Favored laid out the most cowardly plan in the bravest tone, but evidently, no one found it odd.
After agreeing unanimously, this impromptu meeting was finally dismissed.
Once only a few Favored remained in the online meeting, the previously confident Favored of the "Creator" retracted his smile, his expression turned grim instantly.
Right fist slammed on the table beside him, biting his teeth unwillingly:
"Things can’t go on like this!
Fan Mao has deployed a new method again, if things continue like this, and if other new methods are introduced, merely wanting to avoid them won’t be enough!
Moreover, her new method this time brings significant enhancement to Mechanical Master...
This time, it can’t just pass like this! We must not stay stagnant; we need countermeasures too!"
The Favored’s voice became extraordinarily firm, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned sharply to stare at the projection of the Longevity Favored.
"You are responsible for researching Fan Mao, you share the same Life System, so it’s the easiest to learn.
We must not shun it just because Fan Mao is an enemy. On the contrary, the more it belongs to the enemy, the more we should steal it to make it ours!
Since Fan Mao is powerful, we will learn her Strength and use what we learn to defeat her in return!
All of us have the same priority: to derive a means reflecting Fan Mao’s recent approach, aiming to be capable of countering! Strive to overtake Fan Mao!"
The Creator’s Favored slowly clenched his right fist before him and swung it fiercely, a fiery determination burst in his eyes.
.........
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield
Bai Yi was unaware that his capture action was interpreted with so many implications, even sparking a scientific zeal within a group of Faithful Gods believers.
Back aboard the flagship, after receiving praises from all Radiant Civilization Direct Lineage, Bai Yi reported the battle situation to the Radiant President through the command room communication.
"So this is how it is, it’s quite a clever maneuver.
If suddenly appearing was an Extraordinary Plant capable of withstanding the Seventh Rank Attack, and also producing a Seventh Rank level Attack, despite many loopholes in the details, at first glance, even I might mistake it for a true Seventh Rank Creation.
Sigh, Fan Mao, you’re still too impulsive after all.
