Ding Meng's gaze made the young general feel a little guilty. They were all people who had fought on the battlefield. When he saw Ding Meng's deep and cold gaze, the young general knew that he was not as simple as he looked.
The Frogmen Kingdom was similar to the Norse Empire in this aspect. They worshipped the strong and respected martial arts. Only those with powerful fists had the right to speak.
The young general looked like he was about to walk out of the formation, but Leidon reached out and stopped him.
"Mr. Ting, what's the problem?" Leidon looked at Ding Meng with interest.
He was the commander of the army after all. His eyes were sharper than the average person. There must be a reason why he had plundered the Celestial Elemental Energy of the Devouring World and then invited a human to be his follower.
Ding Meng said, "The invitation that the Celestial Elemental Queen received was sent by the commander in the name of your country's mother."
Leidon's eyes kept changing colors. "What's the problem?"
Ding Meng said, "The mother did not even come out to say anything. What's the use of us discussing it?"
Leidon smiled. The frogmen's smile had a special characteristic. They opened their bloody mouth so wide that it felt like they were going to swallow you whole.
"Then let me ask you. The mother invited the Celestial Elemental Queen. Did the queen come?" Leidon asked.
Ding Meng said, "At least the Celestial Elemental Queen sent a messenger over."
Leidon said, "Since Master Leng can represent the queen, I can also represent the mother."
Ding Meng said, "Well, since the commander is so confident, we are not afraid to speak openly."
Leidon nodded. "I'm all ears!"
Ding Meng said, "I don't think there's any need to discuss the matter of attacking the Combined Fleet!"
The crowd was in an uproar again. What was that supposed to mean?
Ding Meng stared at Layton and said, "Because the commander himself knows that the Combined Fleet can't defeat the enemy in a direct confrontation. The key lies in the word 'combined'."
The Combined Fleet was an alliance of the Federal Empire. No matter how fearless and brave the frogs were, there was no way they could fight against the power of two countries. If they could, they would have launched a counterattack three years ago.
From a strategic point of view, counterattacking was definitely not the best strategy. You wouldn't be able to shake them either. After all, they were an interstellar fleet with a very high level of technology.
Lei Dun said, "That makes sense!"
Ding Meng continued, "As far as I know, the commander's small troops are constantly infiltrating the defense line. Unfortunately, no one has returned alive, and there is no news. I'm afraid that most of the powerful frogs are dead."
Lei Dun said indifferently, "It's not a secret!"
Ding Meng said, "Commander, do you want to know why?"
Lei Dun's expression finally became serious. "Please tell me!"
Ding Meng said, "Over the past few years, the upper echelons of the Empire have obtained a new batch of energy, and the strength of the top fighters has increased by a lot. That's why the Empire dared to send a large number of troops to the Fertile Chalk System. Wen Yang predicted that you would send a small number of elite troops to infiltrate, and the result would be that none of them returned."
Lei Dun finally showed a hint of surprise, and the generals behind him also started to discuss.
Ding Meng said, "Commander, you don't have any cards to play now, right?
That's why you thought of asking for help from other countries. Unfortunately, the Steel Mane Empire is too small to provide any substantial help. "
Jun Tian's face instantly turned red. They had suffered in the hands of Ding Meng before, and they also knew that Ding Meng was telling the truth.
Ding Meng's eyes fell on Zhong Yu. "Mr. Zhong, I'm sure you don't want to have a direct confrontation with the Federal Empire, right?
We're all people who survive in outer space. Which country's upper echelons would dare to offend us? "
Zhong Yu showed an apologetic expression. "I'm ashamed of myself!"
Lei Dun stared at Ding Meng. "Then, I wonder what Sir Immortal Yuan King thinks of the current situation?"
Ding Meng said leisurely, "I have many opinions, but I don't have a single solution!"
These words infuriated the group of frog generals. What was the meaning of this?
Do you want to stand by and do nothing?
Or do you want to watch the fire burn across the river?
The young general could not help but say, "Ding, our Frogmen Kingdom is close to your Devouring World. You should know that we're enemies. Our frontlines have retreated, and the pressure you face from the Federation will increase."
Ding Meng replied nonchalantly, "I know, but I also know that the Holy Grail Federation will not attack our Devouring World."
The young general said, "What makes you think so?"
Ding Meng smiled. "This is not a hundred years ago. What is there for the Federation to covet in our Devouring World's territory?
By the same logic, our Devouring Realm will not send troops to Thousand Sails Star. There's nothing valuable left in the Musical Quarter. You can't possibly think that we'll turn around and attack that godforsaken Cypress Star right? "
The frogmen generals were speechless. Ding Meng's attitude was arrogant, but what he said was right.
Leng Yin and Xue Yueshan nodded their heads inwardly. Don't look at how Ding Meng was usually so arrogant. His judgement of the situation was extremely accurate.
Lei Dun smiled again. "Okay, let's not talk about solutions. I want to ask the queen's opinion."
"Of course I have an opinion!" Ding Meng said casually.
Lei Dun said, "For example?"
Ding Meng smiled slyly. "For example, you're not sincere!"
Lei Dun asked in return, "We're not sincere?"
Ding Meng smiled. "We came all the way here, but the commander didn't even prepare a cup of tea. Is the frogman kingdom that poor?
Or are they that stingy? "
Lei Dun smiled and turned his head. "Men, prepare a gift for our esteemed guest!"
The frogmen's so-called "gift" was equivalent to the human world's "treat". It was the most basic form of hospitality.
Soon, the soldiers placed plates of fruits, snacks, and drinks on Leng Yin's table. Although they didn't look like much, the frogman kingdom's ability to produce these things was not inferior to the Federation's high-quality fiber.
Ding Meng looked at them, then picked up a fresh yellow peach and stuffed it into his mouth. His expression of enjoyment made the frogmen generals glare at him angrily.
What the f * ck, we can't bear to eat these good things, but you're taking advantage of us.
Lei Dun said again, "Mr. Ting, you can't say that we're not sincere now, right?"
Ding Meng said, "Sincerity is there, but sincerity alone is far from enough. If the commander wants to gain the support of the Immortal Element King, just talking is not enough."
"Then what do we rely on?
Our fists? "
The young general was furious, but he couldn't take it anymore. He slowly walked out of the formation with his big alloy belly and stood in the middle of the square. "I think you're just talking nonsense. We frogmen believe in the saying that fists are the truth. If you have the guts, come out and teach me a few moves. I'll only believe your nonsense if you do."
"Ha!" Ding Meng was amused. "You want to teach me a lesson with your iron belly?
You're still too young. "
The young general was furious. "Cut the crap. I've been dealing with you hairless monkeys in the Fertile Chalk Star System for more than forty years. Young people like you, I can easily kill a bunch of them!"
Ding Meng slowly walked into the square with his hands behind his back. "You're still far from it. Really, I don't even want to fight. Even if I kill you, I won't feel any sense of accomplishment."
At this time, the atmosphere around them had become tense. The key was that Lei Dun didn't say anything to stop him. He also wanted to let the young general test Ding Meng's strength. After all, the emissary sent by the Devouring Realm was a human. He wanted to see what he was made of.
Everyone could talk big, but not everyone had the ability to do so.
Hearing Ding Meng's arrogant reply, the young general rushed over without saying anything.
He was three meters tall, and his belly was like a steel ball. When he charged, he looked like a giant steel ball smashing down, causing the ground to tremble. This was a typical charge of the Frog Race. His valiant aura coupled with his sharp eyes was enough to strike fear into the hearts of the other races' armies if hundreds or thousands of them charged together on the battlefield.
"Bang!"
The air shook and twisted. Before the fist arrived, the wind created by the fist was already powerful.
The young general's iron fist was as big as Ding Meng's body. When this heavy fist came crashing down, no one could think of how to dodge it.
However, Ding Meng didn't dodge at all and allowed the fist to hit his head. The young general thought that Ding Meng would be turned into a meat patty on the spot. Unexpectedly, his fist seemed to have hit a nail. First, he felt a piercing pain on his palm, then a burning sensation. When he looked down, he saw that Ding Meng was unharmed.
Shocked, the young general quickly retreated. "What kind of sorcery is this?"
It wasn't his fault that he couldn't figure out what was going on. You, a beginner Battle-Saint, couldn't even sense your opponent's aura.
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "That's it?"
The young general glared at him and suddenly stretched out his right hand. "Give me my sword!"
In the distance, soldiers immediately threw out a colorful giant sword. From the color, it was obvious that it was made of many rare metals.
Ding Meng laughed again. "Your sword is so colorful. It's for women, right?"
The young general was too lazy to be long-winded. After receiving the sword, he activated his Origin Energy. At the same time, the alloy fragments on his body emitted an extremely sharp energy field. The sword was wrapped in many arcs of electricity. It seemed that the Reborn Warriors were quite powerful.
"Huo!"
The young general let out a clear howl as he once again leapt into the air and chopped down with his saber. The saber was like a bolt of lightning as it slashed towards Ding Meng's head. This saber strike was extremely ferocious. At the very least, it could shake a wargod level expert.
There was a sharp "chi" sound. It sounded like the blade cutting through flesh. However, what broke was not Ding Meng's head, but the sword itself.
The sword had clearly hit Ding Meng's head, but in the end, the sword turned into a pool of molten steel. In an instant, it turned into white smoke and vaporized.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded. Even the weakest person could tell that Ding Meng had used an extremely powerful energy to melt the sword.
This representative of the Devouring Realm was actually an unfathomable expert.
The young general was still in a daze. Ding Meng had already straightened his nose and opened his nostrils. He directly exhaled a weak stream of air.
It was this small stream of air that caused him to slide backward. A long scratch appeared on the steel plate-paved plaza.
The young general barely managed to stand in front of Lei Dun. He was about to step forward again, but Lei Dun shouted at him to stop. "Back down!"
The young general looked a little unwilling, but he still walked to the back obediently. The generals behind him were all filled with righteous indignation.
Lei Dun said coldly, "Don't be rude to our esteemed guest. He has already shown you mercy. Otherwise, you would have turned into ashes!"
