Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645
Just two hours after the appearance of the Red Hall’s fleet, another eight hundred ships from the Ke Da Empire appeared in another direction of the Country of Taia.
And that’s not all. From farther afield came intelligence reports of fleets from dozens of other powers, a staggering total of over twenty thousand ships, advancing towards the Country of Taia like a doomsday disaster.
In an instant, the whole of Taia was gripped with fear, with everyone convinced that this time, their nation was facing extinction!
The Bella clan and other similar species were treated as public enemies in the Northern Star Domain, but the Bella managed to escape disaster due to their technology serving as a weapon.
But this time, no one believed that the Country of Taia could escape the crisis of destruction.
"Empress, three hundred more warships from the Turin Force have come from the west, bringing the number of fleets surrounding our nation to a total of twenty-five thousand. You mentioned that we have a trump card this time. So what exactly is that trump card? It’s time to reveal it, isn’t it?"
"Yes, Empress, please stop keeping us in suspense. We said a few days ago that the compensation demand was too much. Now look, the allied forces of various powers have come to our doorstep. The anti-war sentiment in the whole country is extremely high now. If you have any trump card, just say it."
The atmosphere inside the Taia Country Parliament Hall was extremely tense.
Even in the Debate Hall, several strong-looking figures were exuding an aura of confrontation, almost about to make a move.
Under such a near-destruction situation, the only way they could think of to extinguish the enemy’s wrath was to hand over their nation’s Empress, Kama, to the opposing side for resolution, which might subdue the crisis.
Sitting at a high position, Kama merely looked indifferently at the group of ministers below.
Beside her stood a woman of equally remarkable grace.
She was none other than the great contributor to Kama’s previous restoration of the nation, the wife of Kama’s uncle, and also the current military and political minister—the Duchess Findley!
It was with the help of this Duchess, with the huge military power she held in her hands, that Kama maintained her leadership over the Country of Taia for these ten-plus years without losing her power to others.
And it was with her support that Kama could make the challenging decision to issue the provocative compensation statement, overriding public opinion.
However, at this moment, even with her assistance, the ministers below couldn’t be restrained any longer, for no one was willing to accompany a mad emperor to their death.
Facing countless voices of protest from the crowd below, Kama and Findley exchanged a brief glance, both with a slight smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s not that I was unwilling to reveal the trump card before, but if the words had reached the enemy beforehand, they wouldn’t have given us such a good chance to retaliate. However, now is almost the time..."
"Based on time calculations, that Lord should be making a move now. Just watch and see."
In the ears of the ministers, Kama’s calm voice made them all jittery and uneasy.
What does it all mean...
Among the ministers, only a few high-ranking officials who ascended from the former ’Earth Fleet’, upon hearing Kama mention the term ’Lord’, were visibly shaken.
All these years, they had never seen Kama refer to anyone so respectfully as ’Lord’.
Except, for that Lord!
At this moment, those ministers were visibly stunned and exchanged glances, each becoming more respectful.
If it truly was that returning figure, the Country of Taia was indeed about to soar from then on. And as for Kama in front of them, they dared not underestimate her anymore, for with that figure’s support, she would gain even more terrifying power.
As for that Lord, even a dozen years ago, the power held was terrifying. There was even a chance, now especially, that they could enter the ranks as one of the strongest semi-permanent star powerhouses in the Northern Star Domain.
The ministers in the hall never expected the result they aspired for would come so soon.
While they were still in the Taia Nation Palace Hall, holding long discussions, on the western side of the Country of Taia, the allied forces of two major powers had just converged at one point.
The Turin Force and a branch fleet of the Red Hall converged at one location.
"Haha, Turin Force, why did your force send just over three hundred warships this time? Could it be that your power is already declining, no longer having its former glory?"
"Wrong, our power simply doesn’t wish to profit from other’s misfortune. You at the Red Hall love such matters, and naturally employ all means. In my opinion, your power is precisely the one that needs to be destroyed the most."
Although the two major power fleets were together, the upper echelons didn’t mean to cooperate much and engaged in verbal jousting.
After all, these two fleets were advancing in the same direction, and when there were gains, they would compete, potentially leading to conflict. No wonder there was not much goodwill at the moment.
Just as the two fleets were quarreling while advancing.
A swiftly appearing shadow abruptly interrupted the commotion between the fleets!
In the sky, brilliance flashed.
The shadow that suddenly emerged from the starry sky swept past the fleet like a bullet.
Poof, poof, poof, poof!
The endless sound of explosions erupted inside these warships.
Then within the two fleets, in the main ship that seemed to still be noisy, they just realized what had happened.
"What’s going on? Why aren’t the battleships in front moving?"
"It also seems like they’ve lost control. Eh... No, enemy, enemy attack!"
The detector quickly noticed the abnormality in front and hurriedly issued a warning.
The top commanders of the two fleets, who were in the middle of a verbal spar, suddenly realized the situation.
"What? Enemy attack, but we haven’t discovered any enemy ships’ shadows, why is there an enemy attack? Is there a mistake?"
"Uh, the battleships in the front row of the fleet, were nearly wiped out almost instantaneously? What the hell is going on!"
The high-ranking officials of both fleets were completely unable to imagine at this moment how half of their fleet, under their leadership, could be wiped out silently.
But what exactly caused the destruction of the battleships?
"It’s a strong one! So terrifying, their speed is too fast, the battleships on their flight path are completely annihilated by Brainwave Power without even needing to lift a finger, this strength... is at least at the high-order sub-level!"
"Sub-level? How could that be! Could it be a powerhouse from the Country of Taia, but the Country of Taia shouldn’t have such a powerhouse."
"No, this existence at the sub-level seems even beyond the common sub-level, too strong."
Just as the top brass of the two fleets were terrified, the shadow that arrived swiftly crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant and flew through the two major fleets.
Including the main ships of these two major fleets, they didn’t even fire a single shell in retaliation, completely falling silent at this moment.
After the merger, the fleet with more than five hundred ships was wiped out just like that after being swept through like the wind by this strong one, with not even a single shot fired!
And that shadow, after seeing no trace of any battleship before it, stopped and glanced faintly backward.
Once he stopped, his figure became clear.
Black hair and black eyes, who else could it be if not Jia Yan’s avatar!?
"The territory of the Country of Taia isn’t big, and with a superfast battleship, I can traverse it in about an hour, so fighting these invaders alone is very simple..."
Jia Yan’s avatar looked back, sensing that no survivors were left behind, and stepped forward into the space ahead.
It was his superfast battleship, and once his avatar stepped in, the ship immediately took off.
In less than ten minutes, another direction’s allied battleship was also wiped out by his seemingly small, yet incredibly powerful avatar!
Meanwhile, in Taia’s capital on Taiya Star, a group of ministers and Kama, waiting in the palace hall for news, received the first triumphant report.
"This... Congratulating Her Majesty the Empress, reports from the front say that a suddenly appeared strong one helped us completely annihilate the allied forces of the Western Red Hall and Turin Force. Moreover, the battleships are undamaged and can fully be used by our military in the future."
"What? We have a strong one for support!"
The ministers were incredibly shocked, looking towards Kama who sat high up.
Seeing that Kama and Findley beside her showed no great change in expression, they understood that this strong one was so-called the ace in the hole of Empress Kama!
"I can’t believe Empress Kama has such a strong backer, fortunately, we didn’t act rashly before, or things would have been dire."
"But this strong one is at least at the sub-level, right? How does Empress Kama know such a strong one..."
The ministers were all extremely shocked, but among them, those who were once the high-ranking officials of the former Earth Fleet were stunned, and then showed even more respect towards Kama.
Only they had guessed who this so-called ’strong one’ was.
"Her Majesty Kama, this strong Lord should be a friend you invited, right? Could you tell us, what’s this strong one’s name?"
A patriarch of the Bella clan with high status, after some silence, had a slight guess in his heart, and then looked at Kama on the high platform, asking with a glint in his eye.
"Exactly, who is this strong one? The information says he’s sub-level, but if he’s just a sub-level, it’s not enough, even if he can hold one direction’s enemy, he can’t defend against all directions. But if he is a renowned sub-level powerhouse with strong flight capabilities, while we hold the line and get his help, it might actually help safeguard our territory."
"So, Lord Kama, tell us, who exactly is he?!"
After this elder spoke, the ministers realized the crux of the issue, each looked up to Kama, their expressions questioning, speaking one after another.
They all wanted to know who this strong one was, or the ace, invited by Her Majesty Kama.
Under the gazes of the ministers, Kama smiled slightly.
With red lips parting, she looked faintly at the ministers below who had previously wanted her to take responsibility for the war. Although people below had been respectful to her over the years, she knew there were few who truly submitted to her.
"Do you want to know his name? Then I will tell you..."
