“Have you really given up on Ling Xiao?” The Supreme Dragon had a look of pity on his face. He had high hopes for this talented junior. He felt that Ling Xiao had the greatest chance of entering profound god-class. Achieving so much at such a young age, his future was filled with infinite possibilities
“I’ve done everything I could. He has to rely on himself if he wants to live,” the First Marshal spoke in a cold tone. He was still unhappy at Ling Xiao for going to the Qingri wormhole even after knowing fully well that it was a trap.
“Monarch Fury has entered the war. Do you really think Ling Xiao can survive this ordeal?” Supreme Dragon sighed out loud. He had exhausted all of his lifeforce. He could no longer operate a mecha for more than a few minutes. He really wanted to rush out and help Ling Xiao, but he didn’t have the ability to. He was just a paper tiger now. His former glory was used to suppress the other nations, especially Caesar, from officially declaring themselves as an enemy of the Federation.
The First Marshal didn’t reply to him. He had asked Master of the East for help, but the appearance of Monarch Fury meant that Ling Xiao had almost no chance of surviving. He only hoped that Ling Xiao would die a fruitful death and kill a few god-class operators in the process.
This was the real nature of the First Marshal. Even if he had a close relationship with Ling Xiao, he would not be hurt or angered by his death. Instead, he would remain composed and think of ways to make the most out of Ling Xiao’s death.
Supreme Dragon knew this fact too well. Back in his prime, he was one of the people who pushed the First Marshal into his current position. After monitoring the performance of the First Marshal to this date, Supreme Dragon felt that only a calm and cold blooded person who only had the nation in his heart would be able to govern the military well. A person who wished to sit on the throne of the Federation must be emotionless and ruthless so that he wouldn’t make the wrong decision in the midst of a tough predicament. However, when he saw how indifferent the First Marshal was towards Ling Xiao, his thoughts started to waver.
“I’ll order an assault on the Aran Alliance.” The First Marshal redirected the conversation. The Federation had gotten evidence that the Aran Alliance had sent their god-class operators to reinforce Twilight. Thus, they could launch a full-on assault on them. The First Marshal hoped that by doing this they would be able to hold back the god-class operators of the Aran Alliance.
“It’s better than doing nothing.” Supreme Dragon sighed and disappeared.
The First Marshal hung up the call and immediately sent the order to suppress the Aran Alliance. The agreement form for the assault had already been signed by the three great marshals.
After that, he got up and walked to the window. He looked up at the vast sky. He looked blank for a moment but soon, his gaze turned cold and resolute.
The divisions near the borders of the Aran Alliance had finished their preparations long ago. Hence, the moment they received the order, they would move out. The two god-class operators closest to the Aran Alliance also came to join the war.
After being notified by the Federation, the Aran Alliance was in a state of panic. After all, there was only one god-class operator left in the nation. They wouldn’t be able to stop the assault of the Federation.
They started seeking help from the other nations, especially Caesar. They hoped that their friends would be able to send god-class operators to help them. However, Caesar didn’t have any extra god-class operators left in the nation. They didn’t dare to send the remaining god-class operators out since there were three alliance nations of Huaxia surrounding them. Huaxia was near them too. Once they knew that there were no god-class operators protecting their capital, Huaxia might decide to invade them out of desperation.
The Aran Alliance was furious at Caesar’s rejection. They immediately stopped the collaboration and recalled their two god-class operators back.
The two god-class operators, who were fighting with King Muqi and Falling Snow, quickly turned back after receiving the notice from their country.
Friends were important but the safety of their nation was the reason why they existed.
King Muqi and Falling Snow were stunned by their opponents’ retreat. They wondered why they suddenly ran away. Soon, they understood what had happened. They didn’t know why the Federation started fighting with the Aran Alliance so soon but this saving grace came at the right time. They were frustrated when they got stopped here and couldn’t reinforce Ling Xiao.
After getting rid of their confusion, the two of them quickly flew in General Ling Xiao’s direction without stopping.
Even if the signals in the area were blocked, they would still be able to detect the aura of an equally powerful person within a certain distance.
Suddenly, King Muqi shuddered. His mecha stopped abruptly and he turned to look behind him.
Falling Snow was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask King Muqi what happened, he felt a chill down his spine. He looked in the same direction as King Muqi. This was the direction where the oppressive force of presence came from.
“As expected of one of the top three god-class operators of the Federation. You’re on par with Supreme Dragon.” A huge mecha appeared suddenly in front of them. It was Monarch Fury who met with Supreme Dragon just now.
“Monarch Fury!” King Muqi turned serious.
King Muqi was calm when facing against other god-class operators because he knew that he would be the last one standing. But, against Monarch Fury, his presence gave him a huge sense of crisis. No wonder everyone said that he had entered the profound god-class. The only person King Muqi felt such huge pressure from was Supreme Dragon. Now, Monarch Fury was giving him the same feeling.“Thank you. There’s still a huge distance between Supreme Dragon and I,” King Muqi replied calmly. He raised the sword in his right hand in front of him in a defensive position. On the other side, Falling Snow aimed his beam gun at Monarch Fury.
In front of a profound god-class operator, King Muqi and Falling Snow chose to defend in unplanned unison. They knew that they wouldn’t be Monarch Fury’s match if they attacked him alone. If they worked together, they might have some chance.
“Don’t be nervous. You’re not my target.” Monarch Fury didn’t want to fight with them.
“You’re looking for Ling Xiao.” King Muqi frowned. He felt uneasy. He could understand why Caesar sent a few god-class operators to surround Ling Xiao. If they wanted to kill him, this group was more than enough. Yet, they even sent their most powerful god-class operator, Monarch Fury. He was someone who entered the profound god-class. Something wasn’t right.
Why were they doing this? Why did they send their best god-class operator? Was it a form of security?
“You live up to your name.” Monarch Fury smiled and disappeared.
“Has he left?” Falling Snow heaved a sigh of relief before releasing his grip around his gun. His palms were filled with sweat.
“Let’s hurry. Ling Xiao is in danger.” King Muqi didn’t feel relieved. Instead, he was extremely worried.
