"Fight a tough battle? Is someone invading us tomorrow, or are we invading someone else?"
Vegeta III still clung, to some extent, to the mindset of surviving through plunder.
Saigo glared at him. "Stop thinking about invading others! Wouldn't it be better to make our own way? If you want to become a Super Saiyan sooner, you'd better put the idea of plundering others out of your mind!"
Vegeta III scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. He'd forgotten that Saigo hated hearing people talk about invading others, especially when someone suggested ordering an attack on other planets.
"According to my special ability, the Cooler Legion will invade Planet Saiyan tomorrow. They're not to be underestimated. They number in the hundreds of thousands! Their leader is a Frost Demon named Cooler, whose strength is beyond measure. Frieza and King Cold don't even compare! We absolutely must not let our guard down!"
Seeing the grave look on Saigo's face, Bardock and Vegeta III grew serious as well. They looked especially grim when they heard the enemy numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
Anyone who could command an army that size was clearly no ordinary foe.
He was far stronger than Frieza and his forces!
Seeing that they had fallen silent, Saigo continued, "We'll use the Great Ape tactic again tomorrow! Minimize our losses! Go make the arrangements now!"
"Yes! We'll make the arrangements at once!" x2
Bardock and Vegeta III finally came to their senses and answered in unison.
"We'll take our leave! Get some rest."
After their previous two experiences, Bardock and Vegeta III had complete faith in Saigo's ability to foresee the future.
Still, as they left, both looked troubled. The enemy's numbers had clearly shaken them.
Frieza's army had numbered only a little over a hundred thousand.
Now they were about to face an enemy numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The two forces weren't even on the same level.
It would've been strange if they hadn't been shaken!
In the dark expanse of space.
Cooler had also received a report from Salza, the captain of the Armored Squadron, about the powerful battle power that had erupted on Planet Vegeta.
"230 million battle power? Hmph! That must be his base battle power. He probably has some special technique that can temporarily raise it to 800 million!"
"Just 800 million? With my current strength, I could crush him with a single finger! Hmph!"
"I thought I could only reach one billion, but I didn't expect my talent to be this strong. I've improved so much in less than two months!"
"Salza, order the troops to advance at full speed. By tomorrow, I want every last one of those wild monkeys on Planet Vegeta dead!"
Cooler sat on his throne, sneering as he issued his orders at an unhurried pace.
"Yes, my king!" Salza, with his blond hair, placed his right hand over the left side of his chest and left to carry out the order.
"Hmph! Father always says my foolish younger brother has the greatest talent our race has ever seen. But if you ask me, the most talented one is me, King Cooler!"
"It'd be just as well if they all died. Then I'd be the only emperor in the universe!"
Early the next morning.
After finishing his simulation and choosing his reward, Saigo couldn't help grinning smugly, with a hint of mischief.
"I can't wait to see Cooler's face when I use this reward! Hehehe~"
An hour and a half later, Cooler's enormous fleet of large starships finally arrived in the space surrounding Planet Saiyan.
"King Cooler, should we head straight down?"
"No! Captain Salza, order the entire fleet to fly around the planet once! Let's scare the guts out of those stinking monkeys first!"
"Yes, my king!"
"All units, attention! Fly around the planet once before landing! Repeat, fly around the planet once before landing! Acknowledge! Acknowledge!"
"Number One, Number Two here. Message received! Over!"
"Number One, Number Three here. Message received! Over!"
"Number One, Number Four here. Message received! Over!"
"Number One, Number Fifteen here. Message received! Over!"
The fifteen large spaceships then formed a long arc and circled Planet Saiyan.
Only after completing a full circuit did they begin to penetrate the atmosphere.
"Is this supposed to be a show of force?" Saigo thought, standing on the palace roof and sensing the Cooler Legion's ships circling overhead before descending. He found it ridiculous.
He'd realized that in this world, it wasn't just the Saiyans who loved showing off. Anyone with a bit of strength seemed to enjoy it!
In his previous life, they'd have been the undisputed kings of surfing!
Given the Cooler Legion's technology, there was no need to circle the planet before landing. They could've forced their way down without any trouble.
Even without thinking too hard, he could guess why Cooler had gone to the trouble of circling the planet.
It was both a show of force and an attempt to intimidate them!
As soon as all the Cooler Legion's ships had broken through the atmosphere, the twenty Saiyan Artificial Moon Squads on the ground sprang into action.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
In an instant, white energy spheres shot into the sky. A series of booming sounds followed, and the spheres suddenly expanded into bright orbs, lighting up the skies over Planet Saiyan in a spectacular display.
Unfortunately, the Saiyans didn't appreciate the sight. They all transformed into towering, powerful Great Apes and flew up toward the sky.
At the same time, the ships of the Cooler Legion detected the battle power of the Saiyans in their Great Ape forms. Their control rooms erupted in an uproar.
"This is bad, Captain! The Saiyans have turned into Great Apes, and their battle power has increased tenfold! There are lots of them with battle power in the millions!"
"What? Are you sure?"
"I'd stake my life on it!"
"How is this possible?! The Saiyans are this powerful?!"
"Report to the king and Captain Salza at once! Ask what we should do next!"
"Yes!"
"Number One, Number One, this is Number Six, Number Six..."
The same scene played out aboard every other ship.
Aboard Spaceship Number One.
Cooler could no longer sit still after receiving the report. He shot to his feet, his face full of shock.
After a second or two, he demanded, "There are dozens with battle power in the millions? Captain Salza, are you sure the readings are right?"
"King Cooler, I've checked several times. The detection equipment is working properly. It's not just our Number One ship; the other ships have detected the same thing!" Salza replied rapidly, visibly unsettled. "My king, what should we do?"
Once Cooler received confirmation, his expression darkened, but he didn't lose his composure.
How could the Saiyans' battle power become so high when they turned into wild monkeys?
What had happened?
If he ordered the troops to charge in now, they'd surely suffer heavy losses. That was out of the question!
I worked so hard to build up this army. I can't let it go to waste here!
Right. I remember these wild monkeys fear and respect the strong the most!
Maybe I can try this!
Within seconds, Cooler had made up his mind and immediately gave the order.
"Salza, order the troops to hold their positions. I'll go meet these wild monkeys myself!"
"King Cooler!"
"Carry out the order!"
"Yes, my king!"
"Everyone, attention! Everyone, attention! This is Number One! This is Number One..."
