As part of the Dragon-Slaying Fortress emerged from its stealth state, the pitch-black space rippled and twisted, transforming into a passage. A beam of light shot out from the deepest part of the passage, enveloping Lancelot's spaceship and pulling it into the fortress's interior. Then, the curtain closed, disappearing once again into the boundless universe.
After the spaceship was properly docked, Lancelot, guided by the guards, made his way through a maze of turns and finally took an elevator to a spacious metal hall.
A terrifying aura, held back yet unleashed, permeated the metal hall. After sensing it, Lancelot discovered that they were all Transcendent beings at the Sanctuary level, and there were quite a few Demigod as well.
The sounds of conversation rose and fell, echoing in my ears, each with its own unique tone and charm.
As Lancelot entered the hall, he immediately attracted a number of gazes, most of which were friendly.
"Here!" Zyra, who was positioned near the front, waved with a beaming smile, completely unconcerned about the stares of others. Her radiant face, unseen for so long, made Lancelot's eyes light up.
He first bowed slightly to the Mechanical Bishop Belotti, who was sitting upright directly above him, and then swaggered to sit down next to Zyra, a seat that Zyra had specially reserved for Lancelot.
"Isn't the Dean here?" Lancelot gently grasped Zyra's fair hand and asked casually.
After reshaping her physical body, Zyra's facial features and figure remained largely unchanged, but her skin transformed from a healthy wheat color to an exceptionally fair white with a subtle, luminous glow. The feel of her skin was also incredibly smooth, and Lancelot was quite fascinated by the wonderful sensation of holding her in his arms and savoring her.
"No, this time, the only high-level combat force representing the Holy Sword Academy consists of just the two of us." Zyra rested her chin on one hand, without withdrawing her other hand. Her clear, watery eyes seemed glued to Lancelot, and the genuine love she expressed shattered the hearts of some of her admirers in the hall, filling them with anguish.
Although I had long heard that this newly promoted Demigod of the Holy Sword Academy was in a relationship with the Crusher Lancelot, I couldn't take it seriously without seeing it with my own eyes. After all, he was Demigod; how could he possibly choose a Legendary being as his partner?
Yes, it must be fake, impossible, absolutely impossible...
But when this bloody scene unfolded before their eyes, those self-deceiving thoughts struck these admirers like a heavy hammer, leaving them dizzy and even struggling to breathe.
With his extremely keen senses, Lancelot naturally noticed the subtle and unusual changes around him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a clear arc.
The admirers, seeing this, inwardly roared: 'This kid must be doing this on purpose, he definitely is!!'
Zyra rolled her eyes at her man, finding his childish behavior amusing yet also quite amusing. After all, Lancelot was always serious in public, so it was rare to see him act like a child grabbing a lollipop, especially since it was for her sake, which made Zyra feel a sweet warmth in her heart.
"Alright, everyone, focus and let's get back to business!"
A middle-aged man sitting to the left of Mechanical Bishop Belotti coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention back.
Keluoduo the Wind Rider, High-Rank Demigod from the Constellation Academy, is a wind elemental Mage who can easily unleash terrifying storms capable of Destruction everything. Given enough time to charge up, he can even blow an ordinary planet into cosmic dust.
However, judging from his appearance alone, this Wind Rider seems quite harmless, like a middle-aged teacher, full of scholarly air. His every move is as kind and approachable as a friendly uncle next door. No one would guess that hundreds of millions of lives have died at his hands; it would not be an exaggeration to say that he slaughtered mountains of corpses Blood Sea.
Mechanical Bishop Belotti was cold and aloof, and not good with words, so Wind Rider Keluoduo temporarily acted as his mouthpiece, presiding over meetings, guiding the atmosphere in the hall, announcing details of the plan, and so on.
Therefore, when the Wind Rider spoke, no one dared to be negligent and continued to listen attentively.
Glancing at the two young men sitting beside him, the Wind Rider looked at the Mechanical Bishop Belotti, and after receiving the latter's approval, cleared his throat and said, "Thanks to the sudden rise of the Gendaya Royal Court, our Crimson Alliance's mortal enemy, the Dark Moon Ashes Organization, has suffered heavy losses. Obsidian Gelaxius has been severely injured and will be unable to cause trouble for the time being. The Dusk Star Pillar, the Barbarian Star Pillar, and the Dragon Star Pillar, all ranked in the upper-middle range of the Eighteen Star Pillars, have all been killed. Ashes Organization is quite stretched in terms of high-end combat power. Currently, according to the intelligence we have gathered, they are undergoing a strategic retreat, shifting their main focus from Planet Oklo to Planet Veyin and Planet Vist, getting entangled with the Saila Empire..."
At this point, Wind Rider Keluoduo paused, giving everyone time to process the information, before continuing, "The Ashes have been forced to retreat, significantly reducing the pressure on the Alliance on the battlefield. Those Blood Clan vampires are currently focused on building their stronghold on Planet Twilight, showing no ambition whatsoever. It seems they intend to reinstate the human regime and follow the old path..."
Laughter echoed through the hall, all directed at the Blood Clan Blood Clan. Despite having three Peak Demigod, the powerful members of the Crimson Alliance truly looked down on them.
In the eyes of the powerful humans of the Crimson Alliance, those Blood Clan were mostly scheming and despicable.
They forget righteousness for petty gains, yet cherish their lives when undertaking great tasks.
They lacked the determination to burn their bridges and did not understand the principle that cooperation benefits both sides.
They always put others at the forefront while hiding behind to reap the benefits, lacking any sense of proportion and being excessively greedy.
That won't do.
Do you really think everyone else is a fool?
Such actions will inevitably backfire sooner or later.
Even if the Blood Clan manage to survive this time and establish another human regime, they will inevitably fall out in the future.
To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of parasites.
They're still parasites that aim to drain their host, and once the host is out of nutrients, they can simply find another host.
"More than a thousand years have passed, and these bats still haven't escaped the mentality of bandits..."
Someone uttered a remark that immediately resonated with everyone present, who nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's stop talking about the Blood Clan and continue our previous topic. Our two major enemies, the Ashes and the Blood Clan, are either too wounded to advance eastward or too cowardly to stand still. The Radiant Empire is being held back by the Gendaya Royal Court and the Winter Empire, and is too busy to help itself! Right now, our Crimson Alliance's top priority is to deal with the Sea Dragon Alliance. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The Wind Rider, Keluoduo, swept his gaze across the scene, his words becoming firm and resolute, "The Sea Dragon Alliance is courting death! Taking advantage of the great upheaval the Alliance suffered a few years ago, they have been attacking cities and seizing territories, wantonly slaughtering the Alliance's people. Their behavior is exceptionally brutal and they do not deserve the title of 'civilized'!"
"Their barbaric acts have not only harmed the Alliance but also deeply disgusted other friendly neighbors, who are therefore willing to provide us with assistance, deploying troops and powerful individuals to restrain the Sea Dragon Alliance."
"Currently, the forces that have explicitly offered us assistance are the An Alliance and the Southeast Trade City-State Federation."
"The ' An Alliance ' marched south to the Sea Clan's capital in the Whirlpool Sea, while the ' Southeast Trade City-State Federation ' advanced eastward to Dragon Island, threatening the two core strongholds of the Sea Dragon Alliance from the north and west!"
With these two emerging imperial-level powers intervening, the Sea Dragon Alliance's remaining powerhouses and troops on Planet Oklo will be firmly pinned down and unable to move!
"With this, the Blue Dragon Clan has lost the support of the Sea Dragon Alliance. They are nothing more than an isolated island in the sea, and their annihilation is inevitable. This battle will surely be won!"
