In the southern sky, looking from space, it looked like a very quaint Mega Starship. It was a dark gray steel disc suspended in space. Although it looked large, it still could not be compared with the Godly War Star Ring.
Moreover, the southern horizon was an extremely densely populated area. Other than the designated port on the ground, the rest of the area was laid out like a city. It was a classic metal jungle.
Unlike the Federation's cities, which were beautifully built, there were almost no skyscrapers here. Most of the tall buildings were ordinary buildings stacked together with concrete and steel. They looked rather bloated and did not give off a comfortable feeling.
Only when one reached the ground would one see the bustling people and all kinds of shopping malls and shops. Only then would one feel that this place was lively. To be honest, this city was not even comparable to the third or fourth-tier cities of the Empire.
The southern horizon was actually controlled by a sect that was close to the Alliance. This sect was called "South City Family", so this city was called "South Sky City".
The Conqueror naturally landed at the huge port outside the city. Because they had received advance notice, other than Ding Meng's group, only Xing Yi and Second Lieutenant Xiao Mei from the Empire's side got off the ship. The rest of the people stayed on the starship.
Of course, Qu Xiaoqing would not get off the ship so easily. After all, this was an unfamiliar environment for them, and the Conqueror needed someone to look after it.
Only a few people survived this mission. Putting Ding Meng's group aside, only Xi Wen, Dong Yi, Kadiga, Catherine, Kun Ran, He Qian, Su Lingyue, and Liang Yi were left on the Alliance's side. Everyone else had died in the fierce battle between Ding Meng and Gu Yu.
In fact, only the main forces of Blood War Hall, Long Voyage Alliance, and Water Cherry Society survived. The Crusade Army, Blue Light Group, and Qian Huanyu's people were all wiped out. Although the people who died were not the elites of their respective sects, it was not a pleasant result to not be able to return.
A transport boat was already waiting on the tarmac. A young man in a suit was waiting with a group of followers.
Lu Qing had established a telepathic link with Ding Meng a long time ago. She sent telepathic thoughts to him directly. Although the man was young, he was He Yu, the confidential secretary of Qing Zhongfeng, the commander of the Holy War Army. He was a talented young genius who was also the focus of the Holy War Army.
Ding Meng secretly released his Mind Power Vision and glanced at He Yu. He realized that Lu Qing was not spouting nonsense, this He Yu was only around thirty-five years old, but his aura was at the level of a high-level war elder, and was extremely agile and elegant. Just this point alone was something to be proud of, because Ding Meng believed that this He Yu was definitely not just a high-level war elder.
By now, Ding Meng had also figured out the so-called upper echelons of the Alliance. They were the leaders of the six sects. They were Qing Zhongfeng of the Holy War Army, Bai Jinlai of the Blue Light Group, Li Qingfeng of the Blood War Hall, Fang Ming of Qian Huanyu, Dong Yu of Long Voyage Alliance, and Lin Aoxue of Water Cherry Society. These six people formed the upper echelons of the Alliance, and together, they made important decisions for the Alliance.
The long voyage mission of Sovereign this time was definitely an important matter, so at this moment, He Yu came forward and politely extended his hand. "President Xi, President Dong, thank you for your hard work this time."
This person was elegant and polite. There was no sign of dissatisfaction on his face. His expression was definitely sincere, but for some reason, Ding Meng felt that this He Yu was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
"Chief Xing, welcome. The God War Starfield welcomes you." He Yu bowed slightly to Xing Yi.
"Thank you!" Xing Yi's response was very polite.
"Everyone, please!" He Yu gestured.
The transport ship flew directly to Nantian City. Its destination was the "Bijin Hotel" in the center of the city. This was a 30-story building that occupied a prime location in the city. It was considered a first-class hotel in Nantian City.
However, when the group entered the hotel's first-floor lobby, Xi Wen and Dong Yi's expressions turned ugly. The two of them were the vice presidents of their respective sects, yet after returning to the Divine Wars Starfield, they weren't allowed to return to Starlink. Moreover, the person who had come was Qing Zhongfeng's secretary. He had arranged for the reception to be held in this place as a form of surveillance.
Fortunately, He Yu politely explained, "President Xi, President Dong, the upper echelons of the Alliance have decided to hold a confidential meeting at the Bijin Hotel. All the presidents are on their way here. The upper echelons hope that you will not leave for the time being, so we have no choice but to delay you for a few days. During these few days, you can enjoy Nantian City to your heart's content."
Ding Meng and the others had different thoughts. Xi Wen, Dong Yi, and the others were now thinking about how to deal with this meeting held by the upper echelons.
Xing Yi had come on behalf of Qu Xiaoqing. Her purpose was simple. She wanted to replenish her energy and leave as soon as possible. Of course, Ding Meng also had this idea.
Ding Meng and the others did not care. After all, they were following Ding Meng. As for Lu Qing, her attention was naturally all on Ding Meng.
When the group settled down, it was already evening. Everyone gathered at the restaurant on the sixth floor of the hotel. Of course, this group of people did not need to eat. Eating was just a formality. Their real purpose was to gather information.
The restaurant was very ordinary, but there were plenty of dishes. He Yu had obviously arranged everything well. However, at this moment, a new face appeared beside him. It was also a young man in a suit. His appearance and temperament were quite good, but there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
He Yu had already led this person to a seat. Ding Meng quickly understood this person's identity from Lu Qing's message: Wen Yu, the eldest son of Wen Caiming, the boss of Nancheng Family. Wen Yu had been classmates with He Yu when they were in Starlink, and the two were very close. As the boss of Nancheng Family, Wen Caiming's influence was considerable. Although it could not be compared to the Six Major Sects, he had a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Alliance. The fact that the Alliance chose to hold this meeting in the southern horizon was enough to explain many things.
Of course, it would be strange if such a young master with such a background suddenly appeared in the hotel, if you said that he had nothing better to do, he would come here to play.
Sure enough, after some polite introductions, He Yu slowly opened his mouth. "Commander Xing, Yu and I were classmates when we were in the academy. After graduation, he didn't join Starlink. Instead, he came here to help his father. The southern horizon is the gateway port of the God Wars Starlink, so it has a lot of resources."
This was the right medicine for the problem. The Conqueror was a foreign starship, and the God Wars Starlink was only a transit point. Its ultimate goal was definitely to return to the Norse Empire. Qu Xiaoqing's most urgent wish was to obtain a power source.
Xing Yi was currently wearing a pair of low-light glasses and had a communicator in her ear. What she saw and heard could be seen by Qu Xiaoqing and Xin Jie on the starship. At the same time, they could maintain instant communication.
"Oh?"
Xing Yi pushed up her glasses and looked at Wen Yu curiously. "What kind of resources can Mr. Wen provide?"
Wen Yu's attitude was still very proper. He smiled politely. "Commander Xing, I'm very sorry. We don't understand the parameters of your starship. If the conditions allow us to board and take a look, we can calculate the resources required by your starship."
Xing Yi pondered and said, "If we use the power source of a normal patrol fleet and multiply it by ten times, do you have it?"
She definitely didn't say this. Xin Jie was definitely secretly teaching her how to answer.
"Yes!"
Wen Yu nodded affirmatively. The southern horizon was huge. It was more than enough to supply 50 patrol fleets, let alone 10.
Star Art smiled, "Then why don't you name your price?
Or an equivalent exchange is fine! "
"This …" Wen Yu hesitated before continuing. "Actually, the Nancheng Family wants to visit your starship."
"No problem!" Xing Yi was very straightforward. She smiled slyly. "It's just a simple visit?"
This was a rather sharp question. If you wanted to visit the starship, you would have to see how advanced the Dragon-Slaying Starship was. However, the technical aspects were not something that could be learned just by visiting. Xin Jie was the one who designed the various systems of the Conqueror, so Xin Jie was confident in this.
"Cough cough!"
He Yu coughed dryly. "Actually, the Nancheng Family has done quite a bit of research on starship technology, but they are ashamed of their inferiority when it comes to the design of your ship. In fact, they are only asking for advice with a learning attitude. I hope that Commander Xing will not be stingy with his guidance."
There was a reason why this person could be Qing Zhongfeng's confidential secretary. His words were much more convincing.
Xing Yi went silent. Actually, Qu Xiaoqing and Xin Jie were discussing on the starship. It was obviously unrealistic to buy energy with money. Plus, the Conqueror didn't have any money. Exchanging technology for energy was impossible in the Norse Empire.
However, they were currently in someone else's territory. If they wanted to replenish energy, they would have to pay a certain price. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
After thinking for a long time, Xing Yi looked up and said, "I don't dare to teach you. However, we still have to talk about the specifics of our cooperation."
Wen Yu was overjoyed at the unexpected good news. She stood up and said, "To tell you the truth, my father has admired all of you for a long time. There's no time like the present. I'll take advantage of tonight's opportunity to invite all of you to my humble abode as guests. What do you think?"
Admired everyone?
This was obviously just a formality. The people he really wanted to invite were Xing Yi and Xiao Mei, so the others tactfully didn't say anything. However, there were still some who didn't know what was good for them. A certain straight guy jumped out and said, "Then I'll accept your invitation. I was just about to take a look around anyway."
He Yu and Wen Yu couldn't help but look at Ding Meng at the same time. Both of them looked a little angry.
Ding Meng didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Xing Yi, what do you think?"
Xing Yi couldn't help but laugh. However, she still had to explain, "Mr. Wen, actually, Big Brother Ding Meng used to be my classmate back in the Norse Empire. I don't think you'll mind if he keeps me company, right?"
"No, of course not!" Wen Yu could only reply. This was a classic example of digging a hole for oneself. Even if it was tearful, it had to be filled.
Xin Jie saw this scene and was immediately amused. "I knew this kid would be up to no good."
Qu Xiaoqing said sweetly, "Xiaoyi is still inexperienced. With Ding Meng around, she won't be at a disadvantage."
