Acquaintances... three and a half? Empire Storm was shocked when he heard this. Are there even half of them who are acquaintances?
But this is not the point. The point is, among those little ants, so many people actually know this Above Supreme? Empire Storm was a bit confused. It felt like he was planning to bully other people's children, but an adult came to their house.
He didn't know how to explain it all. In fact, he hadn't explained anything to anyone in hundreds of years.
After a long time, he sighed and spoke with difficulty, "If I say that I have no intention of killing anyone, would you believe it?"
The Latecomer's shadow twisted slightly and became a little more solid.
Empire Storm knows that there is a high probability that this is a precursor to taking action.
As a result, his figure also distorted and became blurrier - this was his preparation for the battle.
The Latecomer could sense that the other party was ready to take action, so he asked leisurely, "Do you really not want to live anymore?"
In the battle between two Above Supremes, it is enough to say that one side is carrying "Cosmic Backlash" without saying who is stronger.
Empire Storm did not answer his question, but emphasized again, "I said, I have no intention of killing anyone."
His goal is the other party's inheritance. Regardless of whether he can improve his own situation, just getting the inheritance is enough.
A few small supremes, killing or not killing are not important.
This time, the Latecomer answered quickly, "It's useless for you to tell me this."
Telling you... is useless? Empire Storm is a little speechless. Do I have to discuss it with those ants below? That's right, three of the following five supremes are very outstanding, and two of them have probably touched that threshold.
But touching the threshold and stepping into the door are absolutely different. One is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
If he hadn't been burdened with backlash, he really wouldn't have taken it easy to deal with these little ants!
Thinking of this, Empire Storm couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
But after all, he is a man who has lived hundreds of years older, and he still controls his emotions very well.
——Somewhat ironically, for him, "controlling emotions" has not been done for hundreds of years.
After adjusting his mood, he slowly asked, "You mean, I want to gain the understanding of these little guys?"
He felt that his idea was really incredible.
Even if he is burdened with backlash and cannot attack with all his strength, he still has other supreme leaders and military warships on his side...
"You don't know who your opponent is," The Latecomer said calmly.
"Since you think you can keep them, why not give it a try?"
"Give it a try..." Empire Storm fell into deep thought.
He didn't think this was a bad suggestion, but why did he always feel that there was something in the other person's words?
Could it be that the five supreme ones on the opposite side really have extraordinary means?
This ridiculous idea lingered in his mind for a long time and could not be dissipated.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something unusual, "Friend, do they know you are here?"
The Latecomer replied leisurely, "It's not too stupid&... they don't know I'm here."
Got it! Empire Storm suddenly realized that at this moment, all his confusions were connected.
Before that, he also had the same doubt as Roger, that is, why are these people so calm?
However, for Empire Storm, there is no need to carefully consider the opponent's slightly abnormal performance.
In the face of absolute strength, the reaction of a small person is not worth mentioning. He only knows that there is such an abnormality.
But now I heard that the ants below did not know that there was such strong support, so their reaction was questionable.
This means that even without the person next to him, the opponent is still quite sure that he can escape or even fight against himself.
Honestly speaking, until now Empire Storm still can't believe that this possibility really exists.
He knows that there are many secret techniques in Awakened One, and the methods are hard to guard against, so they cannot be underestimated.
But regardless of any secret technique, there is always a limit. Manpower is sometimes limited, and miracles can occur through hard work, but miracles are impossible.
However, no matter how confused he was, he had to face this possibility.
Empire Storm thought for a moment and made a decision: Okay, let's take what you said as true.
There was no way, there was really no way he could get off the field and try.
If he wins the attempt, he will still have to face the threats around him - questioning such an existence is inherently disrespectful.
If the attempt fails, then he will have to face opponents on two fronts.
If the ant below can really withstand the attack, he will definitely face a lot of trouble with his ruthless behavior.
Needless to say, why did he choose to block his opponent in the depths of space? Was it because he didn't want the opponent to escape?
The possible maximum number of people behind this opponent would give even him a headache.
If the result of the attempt is no victory or defeat, then he still loses because he has established two powerful opponents at the same time.
Even if today's incident can be uncovered, the days to come will not be easy.
Empire Storm quickly sorted things out and said simply, "Okay, let's forget about it."
He didn't mention Energy Stone Mine because he wanted to see the other party's reaction.
He is not interested in this kind of petty profit, but the military in this star field is.
Empire Storm's reputation was big enough, and he got the approval of "acting in cooperation" from the Military Department.
Just like Paranoid once had a special certificate issued by Imperial Military, geniuses will always receive all kinds of care.
If possible, Empire Storm is also willing to help the military gain some benefits, at least it won't be so ugly.
The Latecomer snorted, "Just forget it? Haha, I don't care, just don't regret it."
"Then what else should I do?" Empire Storm was really impatient, "Do you still want me to apologize?"
He is not only Above Supreme, but has also passed the empire's only official certification, and has gone smoothly for more than four hundred years.
He has no prejudice against juniors who are coming up. However, juniors are juniors, and he cannot let go of his seniors' pretensions.
The Latecomer did not argue with him, but said leisurely, "Of course you can do nothing."
"But as far as I know, these people have very bad tempers... Since you have been famous in the empire for many years, I would like to remind you."
Empire Storm remained silent for a long time before speaking coldly, "Will you help them deal with me?"
"For the time being... I don't want to have contact with them," The Latecomer replied thoughtfully, "In the future, they won't need my help."
Empire Storm's shadow twisted and became blurry, "No contact for the time being?"
"Well," The Latecomer could feel that the pressure exerted by the other party had increased, but he didn't care, "You want us to contact you?"
Only a fool would want you to contact me! Empire Storm groaned inwardly.
As soon as these two families come into contact, they can start a direct counterattack against the military fleet.
Although he still didn't understand what cards the people below had, he didn't want to gamble at all.
He said awkwardly, "But this Energy Stone Mine... is indeed very suspicious."
It's not about competing for a small profit, it's purely about testing the other party's attitude.
"Haha," The Latecomer chuckled, and the figure disappeared.
Empire Storm looked at the empty cabin, shook his head and sighed softly, "What the hell Energy Shield..."
His cabin is located above the battleship. It is spacious and comfortable. It is an independent combat unit and the shield strength can be managed individually.
In order to make it easier for him to attack, he set the strength of the shield very low, and he didn't want anyone to take advantage of it and sneak in.
Can increasing the intensity now prevent the other party from entering again? He was a little unsure.
But if you really do this now, you will show quite a lot of hostility, and the most important thing is... it will show your cowardice! Empire Storm knew very well that this operation was destined to end in an anticlimax, and he definitely did not want to be underestimated by others again.
The communication time between the two Above Supreme was neither long nor short, but everyone on the star had no idea what was going on.
Roger is a very unruly person, but after his own side Above Supreme showed up, he did not dare to act without authorization.
So a large group of people stared at it with big eyes and small eyes.
Qu Jianlei waited for a while, turned on Stone Gate, called everyone to retreat.
Immediately afterwards, the strength of the grotto's protective shield began to increase, and the various weapons above also began to charge.
In fact, this is a very simple Defense Array land, not even as good as the defensive fortresses of many mines.
Ping An Merchant Group has already planned to build a defensive fortress in the future, but the location is not here.
Roger watched the other party perform these operations coldly, without any reaction.
This crude defense may not even be able to withstand Company-Class Warship's Main Gun blow, so there is no need to care too much.
Our goal is to strive to capture the opponent alive. The opponent's willingness to retreat into the fortress and resist stubbornly is suitable for our next step.
Of course, on the surface, Qu Jianlei's retreat is also a passive behavior.
But in the eyes of Zhan Donglai, Jierte and others, this is really not passive.
Facing the powerful military supreme and fleet, you actually dare to put up a posture of resistance. Who gave you the courage?
In this stalemate, time passed little by little.
Finally, the voice of Above Supreme appeared again, "Forget it, let's end this matter, let's leave."
Roger was startled when he heard this, almost thinking that he was seeing and hearing things, "Leaving?"
"Well," the voice hummed, without further explanation.
But Roger really couldn't accept it, and said in desperation, "Sir, this Energy Stone Mine..."
"Huh," another soft hum came, but Empire Storm still didn't say much.
Roger stood there in a daze for a while before speaking through gritted teeth, "Senior... do you dare to challenge me to a one-on-one battle?"
The seniors he refers to naturally refer to Jia Shuiqing and Paranoid.
However, Old Lady Jia would never pay attention to him, but the harsh voice replied lazily, "Are you worthy of a one-on-one challenge?"
Just when Roger's eyes were about to burst, another voice came - an unfamiliar voice.
"What is the duty of a soldier? Roger Supreme, you can come back!"
