Ling Yun's eyes flashed. "This is a long story. It's mainly because of the two High Priests."
Ling Jian took the initiative to explain. "The two High Priests have assisted five generations of monarchs and have a high reputation. The monarchs also trusted them very much and almost listened to everything they said."
Kardika hesitated and said, "Are you saying that their choice to cooperate with the Blue Light Group was mainly because of the two High Priests?"
Ling Jian nodded. "More or less. The two High Priests advocated learning the technology of the God Wars Star Field to improve the appearance of our race."
Kardika sighed. "I've heard of this before. However, forgive me for being blunt. Even if you get these so-called starships, quantum, ion, cabin, crystal sources, and pulse technology, Planet 36 doesn't have the conditions to produce them. At the very least, you don't have professional factories, assembly lines, intelligent machinery, and basic industrial facilities."
Ling Yun said, "I agree with this Officer's view. This is just like our race. We are originally an ecological civilization and don't match their mechanical civilization at all."
Ding Meng pondered and said, "It's impossible that the two High Priests don't understand this logic. Since they understand, they still chose to cooperate. I'm afraid there's another reason behind this."
Kardika said, "Zhi Yan definitely knows this reason. The root of all this was caused by the Blue Light Group. When the first fleet arrived at Planet 36, it was our Long Voyage Alliance's fleet. The higher-ups of our alliance have always advocated for peaceful coexistence with the Green Tree Race. Later, under the interference of other factions, the Blue Light Group and the Green Tree Race started to negotiate."
Jun Ling suddenly said, "Can't we just get rid of this Zhi Yan directly?"
What was the point of analyzing the past and the future? Couldn't they just crush and eliminate him directly? This was a very effective method.
It had to be said that this was a good idea. It was simple, crude, direct and effective. However, Kardika smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Jun, Zhi Yan's strength is not weak. Moreover, you should have seen that his fleet is quite large. We can't deal with it at all unless the Tree God appears again. Besides, Zhi Yan is not alone. His subordinates are also quite strong. He is not the kind of person that you can kill just because you want to."
Ding Meng suddenly said, "Where should this Zhi Yan be now?"
Kardika was stunned. "What do you want to do?
Don't be rash! "
Ding Meng said, "I think what she said is a good idea. Your fleet will arrive here in about ten days, and the two Priestesses will definitely take action. The factory is completely paralyzed now, and all the signs indicate that we are now in a very disadvantageous situation. Instead of waiting for death, we might as well take the risk."
Ka Dika was surprised, "Brother Ding, Zhi Yan is a Martial Artist and his level is not low either. He is at least Level 8 and above. If I were to fight him, although he might not be able to defeat me, I do not have the confidence to defeat him either."
In the Godly War Starfield, the ranking system was even more detailed than that of the Federal Empire. In between each major rank, there were 10 sub-ranks. Martial Artists were Combat Masters and Level 8 Martial Artists were Advanced Combat Masters. Furthermore, they were Combat Masters that were about to become Generals.
Ding Meng did not view a single combat master as a threat. However, if there were three or five of them working together, they would be a force to be reckoned with. Xiao Ai had already discovered that even the ordinary soldiers of the Alliance were equipped with combat armor. If Zhi Yan and the others were equipped with combat armor as well, they would be at least as strong as a Battle-Saint, if not stronger.
Furthermore, they were currently in a cooperative relationship with the Greentree Tribe, so they could not ignore the existence of the two Priestesses.
Ding Meng was silent for a long time before saying, "I only have one problem now, and that is that the fleet on the other side has already landed. The entire Divine Forest is definitely under the surveillance of quantum detectors. The slightest movement will definitely be discovered. At least for now, the Prototype will not be able to fly over."
Ka Dika understood what he meant. The fleet's radar could scan all mechanical units on Planet 36 that had a crystal energy system. The moment the supply ship took off or the individual armor was activated, they would be immediately locked onto by the enemy. There was nowhere to hide, so flying over or using airdrops was not feasible.
However, charging in alone was even more unfeasible. The Divine Forest was currently filled with Greentree Tribe soldiers and Alliance soldiers. Charging in rashly would easily alert the enemy.
Ka Dika sighed. "I'm almost certain that Zhi Yan is definitely at the core of the Divine Tree in the middle of the forest. He's not too far from here. If we were on the mothership, it would really be difficult for us to even get close to him."
Ling Yun said, "Mr. Ting, I have a way to send someone near the palace without alerting anyone or being detected by the starship's radar. The prerequisite is that I can only send one person over."
"Oh?" Ding Meng was a little surprised. "What is it?"
Ling Yun extended her hand and said, "Please follow me outside!"
The supply ship was parked on a patch of grass beside the river. Ling Yun slowly walked over to the riverside and took out a five-colored spirit leaf. She placed it by her mouth and gently blew into it. The melody was gentle and beautiful, giving one the feeling of traveling through the night sky. It was very pleasant to the ears.
Nicole immediately revealed an envious look. The Greentree Tribe was not proficient in music, but music was one of the important languages used by the Ents to communicate with the other species on Planet 36. Thus, the status of the musicians of the Greentree Tribe was very high, and the royal orchestra was especially respected. As a princess, Ling Yun naturally had a deep understanding of music.
After playing the melody for a while, a strong wind suddenly surged in the night sky. It was as if something was descending to the ground. The surrounding people cheered. Ding Meng focused his gaze and saw a huge flying dragon slowly flying towards Ling Yun.
This flying dragon was different from the group of flying dragons that Ding Meng and the others had seen on the starship. Its wingspan was over 30 meters, and its entire body had a round and brilliant green luster. Its head was like an owl's, and its eyes were like pupils that constantly changed colors. There was also a pair of slightly smaller wingspan at its tail. It was just like an airplane. It landed on the grass and stood there quietly, giving off a majestic and domineering aura.
The surrounding people had already started to kneel on one knee and worship it from afar. Ding Meng thought to himself, Could this be the king of the flying dragons?
Sure enough, Ling Yun was already explaining, "The leader of the Dragon Knights, Iranka, is a friend of my tribe. Whenever my tribe's people are in trouble, it will always help us."
Ling Yun gently stroked Iranka's wings, as if communicating with it. After a long time, Iranka turned its head to look at Ding Meng. Its pair of pupils turned green, and a low roar came from its throat.
Ling Yun turned around and said, "Iranka's lifespan is over 3,000 years, and it grew up under the grace of the Tree God. The radars on human starships are unable to detect it."
Ding Meng realized that the aura of this flying dragon was very similar to that of a super life form. The starships were unable to detect the true situation within the divine forest because the super life form had a shielding effect. It was probably the same principle for this flying dragon to be able to block the radars.
Ling Yun gave some instructions to the flying dragon before saying, "Mr. Ding Meng, it is willing to carry you to the divine forest and drop you near the palace. It will depend on whether you can stand on its back."
Ding Meng nodded and slowly approached the flying dragon. Then, he jumped and stood on the flying dragon's back. There was a small flat area on the top of the flying dragon's back. To be honest, it was very difficult to stand on this table and fly. However, Ding Meng had telekinesis and could cast telekinetic waves to fix himself on the flying dragon's back.
The moment he released his telekinesis, the flying dragon seemed to have felt this invisible force. It suddenly spread its wings and rose into the sky like an attack aircraft. The wind caused by the wings was so strong that everyone could not open their eyes. When their vision returned to normal, the flying dragon had already disappeared into the depths of the night sky.
The flying dragon's speed was extremely fast, and it could be said that it was not inferior to the Prototype. Ding Meng had never felt like he was riding the clouds. It was as if he had grown a pair of wings and was flying at high speed. At the same time, he realized that while the flying dragon was flying, its wings and skin were constantly changing color, mimicking the surrounding environment. It had completely merged into one with the night sky. Ding Meng thought that even with his telekinesis vision, he would not be able to discover it on the ground.
Gradually, the city of Murteja appeared in their vision. At this moment, the city was brightly lit. The main starships of the Second Fleet were docked by the sea. Many transport ships, flying units, and engineering vehicles were all driven into the city. The lights on them lit up the entire city as bright as day.
There were not many members of the Green Tree Tribe in the city. These Ents seemed to have been chased into the forest. The streets were filled with large and small mechanical units and Alliance soldiers. Near the bottom of the Green Tree in the center of the city, there were 12 holes with a diameter of 20 meters. These must be the mines dug by the drilling robots.
He did not expect Zhi Yan to be so efficient. He had already started to excavate the mines in such a short time.
"Human, where do you want to land?" A deep voice suddenly sounded in Ding Meng's mind.
Ding Meng was shocked. "It's you?"
The flying dragon was clearly communicating with him through telekinesis. "Don't be surprised. I noticed that you are a Warlock. Naturally, I can communicate with you without hindrance."
Ding Meng was curious. "You know the human language too?"
The flying dragon calmly replied, "I know more than 30 languages of different races. Your human language is relatively simple in comparison."
Ding Meng hesitated. "I can sense a very strong aura of the Tree God on you."
The flying dragon said, "That's right. I have always relied on the Green Tree Divine Fruit that the Tree God gave me to survive. I promised it to protect the Green Tree Tribe. However, the situation is not good. Once the central tree is destroyed, the source of all life in the divine forest will lose its divine power. When that happens, everything below will become a land of death. Not only will the Green Tree Tribe perish, but the other creatures will also perish."
Ding Meng asked, "What can I do?"
The flying dragon said, "I hope that you can go underground and stop them from digging."
Ding Meng said in a low voice, "Then fly to the center of the tree and throw me down."
There was a hint of admiration in the flying dragon's voice. "You have a good eye!"
The flying dragon was too big. If he flew too low, he would be discovered. It was also not safe to land near the palace. The safest place was inside the divine tree. The leaves were lush and it was not easy to be discovered. At the same time, it was the easiest place to enter the mines.
