Chapter 479: Raymond's Plan, United with the Blood Duke
Although letting the Star Empire get Gensokyo and letting the alien dimension camp get it, there is no difference between the two for the Abyss Research Institute.
But this mysterious extra-dimensional camp suddenly appeared recently, and its methods are extremely strange.
This made Shadow Fiend feel threatened, after all, the main targets of both of them were in the dimensional world.
Strictly speaking, the two organizations are still in competition.
In this case, how can Shadow Fiend be considered a qualified competitor if he doesn't cause trouble for the opponent?
When Harken saw the news, his face flickered. He was not a decisive person, but decisiveness was sometimes not an advantage in war.
"Can you confirm the source of the information?" Harken asked. Silzo shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than those organizations that entered Gensokyo, the Ark of Salvation, the Abyss Research Institute..."
"It is most likely the Abyss Research Institute. They don't want the alien camp to obtain this half-dimensional world."
Harken fell into deep thought. After wiping out the remaining forces of the Reformers, could he gather the remaining strength to deal with the Death Star?
It is definitely not enough, but this anonymous message gave them another idea, which is to unite with the Grand Duke of Blood.
The detectors they had distributed across the battlefield had long ago discovered the inexplicable disappearance of the bodies of higher-level life forms.
Through the information provided by the two major legions before, they were basically certain that it was the Blood Duke who was secretly behind this.
But he did not directly join the war, and Harken did not want to provoke him for no reason, just like his attitude towards the Death Star.
But that confidence will be greatly enhanced if this former congressman joins.
"If we can capture it..." Harken's eyes flashed with heat.
Such a mechanical life form, just the various technologies contained in its body, is an invaluable treasure.
Combined with the gains after capturing Li Yu, this battle was almost a perfect ending for him.
The Loren family will get amazing gains.
After hesitating for a long time, Harken finally made up his mind: "Xierzo, go contact the Grand Duke of Blood, and..." When he said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"It's time to get irrelevant people out of here."
Xierzo smiled scornfully and nodded, "Yes, Commander."
Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back and said, "Captain, you should look for the Black Eye Fleet. I think I saw someone familiar on it."
"Besides, maybe we can use this to check and balance Li Yu."
"Oh..." Harken was a little surprised. After Silzo left, he stared at the interstellar battlefield full of warship ruins and ordered: "Find the Black Eye Fleet for me."
Silzo is right. We should first gain some leverage through some tricks.
However, after his soldiers worked for a long time and scanned the entire battlefield with detection radar, they found no trace of the Black Eye Fleet.
"Report to the legion commander, they should have left." The soldier was sweating profusely, but he could only report truthfully.
"Left!?" Harken frowned. The Black Eye Fleet was smart and actually left early.
Just based on the estimation of strength, there is no way this fleet could leave so easily.
He would never guess how the Black Eye Fleet left.
Two days ago…
A powerful energy wave exploded not far from the battleship, and the violent shaking caused the alarm in the spacecraft to sound continuously.
The hunter's face was solemn, and he gave various orders in an orderly manner.
However, the power of the Black Eye Fleet seems so insignificant in the face of a war at this level.
The recent kidnapping by Reinhardt is still fresh in my memory.
They were used to threaten Li Yu, although Siegel finally resolved the crisis.
But it sounded a wake-up call to the hunters. The level of the war was too high. If they continued to stay here, not only would they not be of any use, they might even become a burden to Li Yu.
However, they are now surrounded by the Red Holy Fire fleet. If they want to break out, they will have to face the Golden Lion Legion outside, which is very troublesome.
No matter how troublesome it is, he has to give it a try. The hunter gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He looked at the shadow in the corner. Although it seemed empty, he knew Siegel was there.
This made him feel a little relieved.
“…Listen to my orders. Cancel the Red Holy Flame’s coordinated combat instructions. All warships will assist the main ship in defending it. Notify the Twelve Golden Immortals outside and have them prepare for battle!”
The order was given, and the Black Eye Fleet began to leave the group of ships. The Red Holy Flame was too busy to take care of itself and ignored them.
Just as the hunters expected, just as they were about to break out, they suffered an unimaginable attack.
The energy torrent stretched for hundreds of kilometers, completely blocking their way out. At the same time, several [Apostles] attacked and besieged the fleet.
The hunter's forehead was covered with cold sweat, even though he had already expected this to happen.
But when the facts were laid before him, he still felt very nervous.
The Golden Lion Legion was a level that even the former Augu Fleet could hardly reach.
Although the AEUG Fleet is already the top fleet sequence of the Star Empire, the next step up is the Golden Lion Legion, a direct legion at this level.
However, it is impossible for the Augu fleet to expand into a legion.
Seeing that the outer defense was in danger , he looked towards the shadows, wanting Siegel to take action.
But the next moment, the battle situation displayed on the holographic screen shocked him a little.
The [Apostles] who were besieging the Twelve Golden Immortals exploded one after another, as if they were suffering from an irresistible force.
"What happened?" The hunter's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly asked his men to perform a super slow zoom. All he could see was a blurry figure wearing an unknown type of armor.
"Who is this?" Before the hunter had time to think deeply, he felt a burst of coldness in the cabin, making him unable to move.
In the corner, Siegel clenched the Gungor Blade, took a vigilant posture, walked out carefully, and looked at the man who appeared in the cabin at some point.
He felt a deadly threat from this guy, an A4 level life form!
The hunter turned his head stiffly, and saw that the tattered armor opened, and a tall .
"Raymond!" the hunter shouted in surprise.
The visitor turned out to be the commander of the troll army, Raymond!
He is a legendary legion commander. Even Augustus had to treat him with respect when he saw him.
At the same time, a feeling of despair arose in his heart. No one in the Black Eye Fleet could deal with a life form of this level.
But then, he suddenly thought that Raymond was probably not here to arrest them, otherwise why would he kill those [Apostles].
"Where is the troll's holy relic?" Raymond frowned and looked around.
"Troll holy relic?" The hunter was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Here..." A dull voice came from behind. Raymond turned his head and saw that it was Tu Ying.
He was slightly shorter than Raymond, and was holding a box made of a special metal.
The hunter couldn't help but feel a little worried, after all, Tu Ying was snatched from the troll's home planet.
"You know I'm here to find it." Raymond looked at Tu Ying with a complicated look in his eyes.
The Five-Blood Troll is the bright hope of the Troll Tribe. Unfortunately... the Star Empire cannot accommodate such a force.
Especially after knowing that he was artificially created.
"It sensed you." Tu Ying opened the box. The troll's holy relic that looked like a skull was shaking constantly, and then flew into Raymond's hands in an instant.
Holding the troll relic, a golden light appeared in Raymond's pupils, but it quickly disappeared. Then he put the relic away and said in a deep voice in the tense atmosphere:
"You can't stay here until Li Yu comes out. I will escort you out of here."
The hunter was a little confused by Raymond's kindness, but he didn't ask too many questions. He obediently followed Raymond's escort and left the battlefield safely.
"When Li Yu is ready to return to the Star Empire, you can ask him to contact me."
When Raymond was about to leave, he left these words to the hunter.
The hunter was still confused, not knowing what this imperially renowned legion commander was planning, and could only nod silently.
Then wait until Li Yu possesses a younger brother again and tell him about this.
…
"The war outside has entered its final stage. The Star Empire won the final victory. Their losses should not have reached the expectations of the reformers."
Li Yu opened his eyes and once again possessed his younger brother through the Force, and learned the outcome of the war.
Although the Black Eye Fleet had already left, before leaving he asked the hunters to leave behind a few of their transformed brothers so that he could learn about the situation in the outside world.
As for the little incident with Raymond, Li Yu didn't care too much about it for the time being. There was no use for him to keep the troll holy relic that looked like a skull in his hand for the time being.
Raymond was taken away just like that, and judging from Raymond's behavior, he seemed to be somewhat alienated from the Star Empire.
Maybe he'll be useful later, but for now I'll just have to put it aside.
Horus was already accustomed to Li Yu's ability to learn about the outside world by just opening and closing his eyes. Upon hearing this news, he immediately analyzed:
"Then the Star Empire has completed part of the mission this time, and the remaining one is Fantasy Township."
"The Death Star is guarding the door. If they want to get in, they can only force their way in."
Li Yu glanced at the USB drive and saw that the progress bar was almost full and it would be successful soon.
"Do you think they have the ability to fight the Death Star?" Li Yu asked.
"After a series of battles, the Golden Lion Legion's various logistical resources have been exhausted. The strength of the Troll Legion and the Four-Armed Titan Legion is only one-hundredth of what it has left." Horus analyzed carefully:
"According to Harken's personality, he will most likely choose a conservative tactic and not attack the Death Star for the time being."
"What if we add the Blood Duke and the Abyss?" Li Yu suddenly said again.
"If we add them..." Horus suddenly became hesitant: "It's a bit hard to say."
"But, will the Blood Guild choose to cooperate with the Star Empire?"
Li Yu did not answer this question either. The reason why he let the Death Star stand idly by on the war was because no matter whether he helped the Reformers or the Star Empire.
After the war, there is no guarantee that the victorious party will not attack Gensokyo.
It is better to conserve your own strength to deal with the situation later.
…
At the same time, in the outside starry sky, dark red blood flowed on the edge of the battlefield, sweeping the corpses floating in the starry sky into the void.
"Duke of Blood, please come out and see me."
Invisible mental fluctuations covered the area, and Silzo's figure appeared here, staring at a shadow somewhere.
"Boy from the Loren family, I can smell the fragrance on you from a long distance away. This is from the Lion Blood Titan, one of the eight Titan tribes. It's been a long time since I last tasted this fragrance..."
A blood shadow appeared behind Xierzo at some point in time. On the blood shadow without facial features, a big mouth opened up, and a bloody tongue flowed around Xierzo.
Xierzo's body was a little cold, his eyes were slightly disgusted, but his tone was still respectful: "Respected Lord Blood Duke, I am here to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation?" The Blood Duke was a little confused. He was eating his fill and was too lazy to participate in this war.
Now that the war is over, what else is there to cooperate on?
It can’t be…
The Blood Duke shook his head: "I have no interest in taking action against that big guy. A tin can is of no benefit to me. The lubricant inside tastes too different from blood."
"All the prisoners in this war are yours." Xierzo immediately put forward his conditions.
"Not enough!" The Blood Duke refused directly.
I have eaten almost all the old, weak, sick, and seriously injured lone living beings, so you don’t even have any prisoners.
"Death row prisoners from fifty galaxies!" Silzo continued.
"I want five hundred serious criminals from all galaxies, and... I want half of your blood." The Bloody Lion opened his mouth loudly. Death row prisoners and serious criminals are different. The number of the latter is almost several times higher than that of the former.
Moreover, in the current interstellar age, it is almost impossible for an ordinary life form to commit a serious crime.
"This..." Such a huge price made Xierzo a little hesitant, but when he thought about the gains after catching Li Yu, his eyes gradually became firm.
That rule-level weapon alone can offset this cost.
"Okay..." Silzo said solemnly, but then added: "If we fail, this deal will be void."
"No problem..." The Blood Duke had no objection to this, and then Sen smiled and said, "But I want half of your blood as a down payment."
"Remember, this is blood that has not been genetically locked."
Xierzo's face changed slightly. It was not a big problem to take half of his blood. As long as there were enough nutrients, he could replenish it quickly. The main thing was that it was quite disgusting.
But at this point, Silzo couldn't refuse and could only bleed on the spot.
His blood condensed into a blood clot, floating in front of the blood shadow. A strand of blood was drawn out and merged into the blood shadow.
“It’s a familiar taste, perfect as a dessert after a meal.”
The words of the Blood Duke made Silzo feel a chill in his heart.
