Chapter 423: Battle Situation
Is that Azkana guy getting suspicious?
Why are you suddenly attacking me?
After guessing the truth, Li Yu did not hesitate at all and immediately went online to the central command room. Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, he walked straight to Horus and whispered:
"The parliament may want to launch a surprise attack on us, so we need to prepare early."
Horus was commanding the fleet to fight. When he heard the news, his face froze slightly. He turned around and looked at Li Yu solemnly: "Is this news true?"
"I'm sure of that."
Horus did not continue to ask about the source of the information. This sudden news disrupted his plans.
Although he had been wary of the Glorious Council before, that was just some suspicion, which was completely different from the situation he would face after being sure that the other party would attack.
It can even be said that they are likely to face a dead end next!
Originally, they relied on their alliance with the Parliament, so they were able to fight against the two top legions of the Star Empire.
If Parliament breaks the alliance at this critical moment, they will have little chance of survival between the two.
"The parliament is going to attack us?" Upon hearing the news, the other generals looked at each other, and some were even reluctant to believe it.
Some wondered: "Why would they attack us? What good would this do them?"
Tearing up the covenant rashly is not a good option for Parliament, as it will have far-reaching consequences.
In the future, anyone who wants to form an alliance with them will think of the situation that Guixing is facing today.
Unless the benefits they gain can offset this impact, or even far exceed it.
But what kind of benefits can be obtained from the Guixing Expeditionary Force?
Even if we defeat them, what will happen? We will be known as someone who broke the covenant.
Many senior generals really couldn't figure it out, so some looked at Li Yu suspiciously: "Your Excellency the Duke, where did you get this news from?"
Horus trusts Li Yu very much, although even Li Yu himself doesn't know where this trust comes from.
Perhaps it was due to Li Yu's endless variety of methods.
But the other senior generals did not think so. Li Yu had no evidence and just said that the parliament was going to attack them.
This would cause them to go from a war situation they were in a position of ease to a dead end in an instant. How could they easily accept this?
Although the future that Li Yu sees will change with the influence of various current factors.
But based on the known information, it can be inferred that the parliament is going to take action against him. Under this premise, as long as he does not suddenly disappear here, the parliament will definitely take action.
"I have my own information channels, and I can confirm the truth of this matter." Li Yu naturally did not intend to explain too much.
It is naturally impossible to reveal one's own methods, and if one makes up other excuses, it will only waste words, so it is better not to say anything.
But Horus vaguely felt something, glanced at Li Yu, but did not say it out.
They have fought alongside the Parliament many times. If the Parliament had second thoughts, they could have chosen not to form an alliance with them from the beginning, or they could have launched a surprise attack in a previous battle.
There is no need to wait until now to launch the attack, and the only difference between the current Guixing Expeditionary Force and the previous one is the addition of Li Yu.
However, not everyone has the mind of Horus.
They talked a lot about what Li Yu said, and looked at him appraisingly from time to time.
"The mentality of these gods cannot be guessed with conventional thinking." Horus interrupted the discussion: "We will formulate a battle plan based on the premise that the Council will attack us."
"Fuck, what's the point of formulating a battle plan if that's the case." A senior general said indignantly: "If that happens, we will be facing a dead end and there will be no way to escape."
The other generals also echoed this idea, and even a few people who had a good relationship with Li Yu thought the same way.
"Things are not as terrible as imagined." Horus shook his head: "The parliament is allied with us. This is an ironclad fact at present."
"Even if they suddenly launch an attack on us, it will be difficult for them to get the support of the Star Empire. Under this premise, the Star Empire will most likely not launch an attack on us, but will want to see what exactly happened?"
Following Horus' explanation, many senior generals showed expressions of enlightenment.
"That means that in the short term, our enemies will only have one force."
"This might give us a chance to evacuate."
Many generals discussed this, and finally someone couldn't help but say, "Everyone, this premise is based on the fact that the parliament will definitely tear up the covenant, but now we can't be sure whether this news is true or false."
"This is just Duke Li Yu..."
Before he could finish his words, a shrill alarm sounded in the command room.
"Warning, warning, the space blockade device in Area A has failed, and a large-scale space fluctuation has been detected."
In their defense array, the space blockade device is an indispensable part. Otherwise, the enemy can appear directly at the core of the camp at any time through space technology.
But now the space blocking device has failed.
The scene on the holographic screen switched. In the interstellar background of various energy artillery fire, a space suddenly began to twist and wrinkle, emitting waves like water ripples.
Then, a large number of phantom warships appeared near it.
As the ripples of space spread, these warships instantly condensed from their virtual state and completely descended here.
"It's the Four-Armed Titan Legion!" A senior general exclaimed, "Why are they here?"
This senior general is the one responsible for monitoring the Four-Armed Titan Legion.
"It's a space anchor!"
Horus stared at the hundreds of thousands of fleets that suddenly descended on the holographic screen with a serious expression.
Since there is a space blockade device, there must be technology to break through it. The space anchor is a device developed by the Star Empire specifically for breaking through space blockade devices.
It can anchor a piece of space and force it to break free from the space blockade.
However, this kind of equipment is extremely expensive, and the resources consumed each time it is used are also huge, so only the most powerful legions in the Star Empire are qualified to equip it.
“They’re going to get serious.”
Horus took the lead in issuing orders and said calmly: "Notify all fleets to return to defense. Give up blocking the troll army and gather the camp."
"Also notify the parliament and ask them to support us. If they still try to prevaricate, then we can basically be sure that what Li Yu said is correct."
Horus' calmness infected many senior generals present.
"Also notify the higher-ups to send support as soon as possible!"
Just as everyone was about to execute the order, a large number of advanced life forms were locked onto the holographic screen.
They are rampaging across the interstellar battlefield, causing great trouble to the returning star fleet.
"Go and intercept those high-level life forms. Don't let them continue to wreak havoc." Horus gave the order.
A series of explosions were projected on the holographic screen, energy artillery fire continued to interweave, and red annihilation energy balls bombarded the battleship's protective shield, and flames continued to explode.
Two top legions from the Star Empire attacked, and the Guixing Expeditionary Force retreated while fighting back.
Deadly artillery fire intersected each other, and the entire interstellar space was reflected with the color of the energy beam, magnificent and deadly.
Mixed in with the fleet fighting were countless small shuttle ships, carrying ship-breaking landing teams and energy barrier destroyers, posing a huge threat to the huge warships.
And many A-level life forms have also found their opponents.
In an interstellar war, the destructive power unleashed by an A-level life form is extremely astonishing and must be restrained by someone of the same level.
After the battle plan was formulated, the remote projections of many senior generals also disappeared here one after another.
Then, a figure full of energy shot out from the main ships of each fleet and joined the battlefield.
Soon, the only senior generals left here were Horus and Li Yu.
While keeping a close eye on the battle situation, Horus also asked Li Yu: "Are you their target?"
Although Horus did not mention any names, Li Yu understood that he was referring to the Glorious Council.
Li Yu nodded and acknowledged Horus's guess.
Sure enough, Horus felt a little depressed. He didn't expect that the parliament's target was also Li Yu. Vimala might have made a wrong move by asking Li Yu to come.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you offend the parliament again?"
Li Yu was speechless after hearing this, and said unhappily: "How should I know? I have always been honest and have never had any contact with the parliament."
"They might have taken a fancy to my gloves."
Horus paused and did not continue. Although this possibility existed, he always felt that this reason alone was not enough.
"Don't take action for now. The parliament can't see you and may not take action in the short term." Horus frowned.
"In today's situation, is there still a chance to escape?" Li Yu asked tentatively.
"It's hard to say..." Horus hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are your gloves still usable?"
"It can be used." Li Yu nodded, but then he thought of the huge bronze shield he saw from the future perspective, and reminded: "But they should also make preparations."
"For example, take out a huge shield with a bone horse in the middle to resist."
"Nightmare Shield!?"
Horus' eyes narrowed slightly. That was the weapon of the Nightmare Knight, which had powerful defensive capabilities.
In order to capture Li Yu, Nightmare Knight actually took out this shield?
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Yu again. Where did this guy get this information from?
Not only did they know that the parliament would attack them, but they also knew what weapons they would use.
Did you eavesdrop while hiding under someone's bed?
Or is it because of that mysterious camp at another dimension?
"Can the person behind you take action?" Horus pondered for a moment and asked in a serious tone.
"Behind me?" Li Yu shook his head and said, "You don't mean the camp in the different latitudes, right? They are actually..."
Horus stared at him with his dead fish eyes without saying a word.
"Alas..." Li Yu sighed helplessly and swallowed the second half of the sentence "not exist". No one would believe him if he told the truth now, so he said: "It should be possible."
By the time the Death Star is launched, it will be a foregone conclusion that he is the illegitimate child of an alien camp.
"If they can take action, the possibility of success will increase by 10%. " Horus looked at the holographic screen that was divided into countless pieces with a thoughtful look.
…
Raymond folded his strong arms and looked down at the virtual combat sand table.
The battleships, which were shrunk countless times, were simulated by the system and turned into red and blue, as big as ants, constantly connecting. It looked like a crudely drawn game, but in fact it was a miniature of the entire vast interstellar battlefield.
Next to him was a sturdy figure with four arms, also staring at the battle table, wondering:
"What is that old guy Horus planning again? Their combat radius is shrinking overall. If this continues, they will become a turtle. And the parliament doesn't seem to be making any moves."
Raymond stared at the battle table and suddenly asked, "Ted, has Li Yu arrived here?"
"It arrived four days ago. Didn't your men inform you?" Ted asked with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Raymond ignored him, as if he was thinking about something extremely serious. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Let the branch fleet that intercepts the parliament take the initiative to attack and see how the parliament reacts."
"What do you mean?" Ted was a little surprised. "This is inconsistent with the original battle plan. The branch fleet is no match for the parliament in a head-on battle."
"We don't need to fight head-on. We just need to see how the parliament reacts. If they ignore our tentative attack..." Raymond's expression flickered. "That means the parliament may have become alienated from Guixing..."
"Oh?" Ted didn't seem to understand the connection, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
But he was too embarrassed to continue asking, so he could only pretend to be confident and nodded, "I understand."
…
"Why hasn't Li Yu appeared yet?"
Many gods looked at the interstellar battlefield, searching for their own targets.
However, many senior generals of Guixing have joined the battlefield to perform their duties, but there is no sign of Li Yu.
"He may have guessed something..." Rohan raised his head. The strange blood light emanating from his body and the faint wailing sounds made the other gods stay away from him.
"How is that possible? Our plan is top secret." A god shook his head.
"Top secret?" Rohan sneered, "Nothing is top secret in this universe. Have you forgotten Councillor Fate?"
Upon hearing this name, the expressions of many gods changed slightly and they stopped objecting.
"What's more, that guy's methods cannot be underestimated..." Rohan murmured in a voice that only he could hear.
He still doesn't know how Li Yu caused his sacrifice to fall.
The reason why he did not spread the news that Li Yu was a god was because of an extremely shameful thing related to it: his faith was stolen.
Although stealing is not cuckolding, to some extent, the insult caused and the ridicule caused by spreading it are no different from the latter.
