His words were forceful and unexpected. No one would have guessed that the Speaker would begin with a statement of honor for the last battle.
In reality, the Northern Alliance had lost.
Admiral Hui sat in the second row, his face impassive.
Lan Qing was the same.
Every word of a politician had meaning.
But now, the Northern Alliance's words were not to be disliked. Even if they knew he was trying to cheer the people and the military on.
But at this moment, he really needed these things.
"Parliament has decided to reinstate Admiral Kang Hui.
You will continue to command Tyrannosaurus.
Next, we would like to invite Admiral Kang Hui to explain to us what happened in this battle.
Especially, what information and revelations did we obtain from this battle? "As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture and turned to look at Kang Hui.
Admiral Hui rose to his feet, the four stars on his shoulders flashing with starlight.
He strode to the podium in front of him.
At this moment, the light in the entire venue dimmed rapidly.
A holographic projection appeared in the air.
The projection flickered, and an image appeared.
It was Tyrannosaurus' record of the battle.
"We've lost this war.
The main reason we lost was because we didn't understand the aliens.
What I must tell you is that they are even more terrifying than we thought.
After the war, we made a detailed and thorough analysis of everything that happened in the war.
I'm sharing this information with all of you so that in the near future we can all work together to fight the aliens. "
There was no pride in Admiral Hui's voice, only sincerity.
He began to tell them the story of the battle.
How the three bastions entered the Shattered Starfields, and what happened to the alien home worlds.
Tyrannosaurus, Arachnid, and Heron all had detailed records of the battle.
All sorts of data flowed freely from Kang Hui's lips. He didn't need to tell them anything. Soon the battle was laid out for everyone to see.
Lan Qing listened intently.
Lan Jue described the battle from a bystander's point of view.
Kang Hui, on the other hand, explained his thoughts as a commander.
The entire battle took a full hour to finish.
By the time he reached the part where Ying Tianlong had recklessly led the First Fleet to Moonfiend, and Arachnid's self-destruction, his eyes were red.
Throughout his speech, he did not mention a single word about the two generals, Ying Tianlong and Holmond.
They talked about how valiantly they fought against the enemy.
"Here, I'd like to thank someone in particular." Kang Hui's impassioned voice lowered. He turned around and looked at the middle of the first row of the rostrum.
"Before the campaign began, we invited Skyfire's team to help us scout out the planets.
To be honest, before this battle, I had some doubts about their reconnaissance. But after working with them for real, I understood that in this world, nothing can be left to chance.
You may not know this, but there are five Paragons in Skyfire Squad.
It was because of their strength that they had been able to spy on the alien planets again and again.
Thank you, Commander Lan Jue.
If not for Skyfire's timely report, Tyrannosaurus would have fallen into the enemy's trap.
If you hadn't stopped that high-ranking alien, I wouldn't have been able to command this battle.
On behalf of Tyrannosaurus, I offer you my sincerest thanks. "
As he spoke, Kang Hui snapped to attention and saluted Lan Jue.
Lan Jue rose to her feet and gave him a small smile, but said nothing.
Kang Hui finished his speech and returned to his seat.
The Northern Alliance President's voice was low. "After our defeat, we've learned from our mistakes. We've also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the aliens.
In the process, we've received reports from the Eastern Alliance. We've compiled and organized them.
Now, I'd like to invite His Majesty the Terminator to tell us what we know about the aliens. "
The Terminator's personal explanation was a shocking thing to hear.
The Terminator rose to his feet and walked to the front of the room like a mountain.
He didn't use any amplification equipment, but his deep voice boomed through the room.
"Everyone.
The aliens are more terrifying than we've ever imagined.
I'd like to thank Skyfire Avenue.
Skyfire Avenue's Arcane Magnate and Karmic Scholar were the first to study them.
From them we've learned a great deal. "
"Based on our research, the first thing we can confirm is that the aliens are organic, living beings.
They're not much different from us humans.
But they're terrifying creatures. The most frightening thing about them is their ability to devour.
They had an unparalleled passion for their own evolution. Every time they devoured other creatures, they would try to perfect their own genetic chain, thereby allowing themselves to evolve and become stronger.
Their ability to devour and evolve is truly terrifying. "
"We humans have been improving as well. In the early days of the Former Era, the average lifespan was forty or fifty years. Now it's more than a hundred and fifty. Some special beings can live for more than three hundred years. It's all a matter of evolution.
But the aliens evolve a hundred times, a thousand times faster than we do. "
"When the aliens first formed, they were probably very small creatures, perhaps just a single cell.
However, as it continued to devour other lifeforms, it continued to evolve and become stronger.
The home worlds were the strongest of the three alien worlds.
From what we learned from the high-ranked aliens, they're called Monarch, Empress, and Empress.
That's why we've named them after these three planets.
One was Monarch's Star, the largest of the planets, and the one facing Tyrannosaurus.
And then there was Empress, the star that had destroyed Arachnid.
And Empress, the one that destroyed Heron, the Empress. "
"Whether it's a planet or a Bastion, they can't change as much as the alien planets.
They look like planets, but they're actually living things.
That's what's most frightening about them.
That was why they were able to change their tactics so quickly and adapt so quickly in the process of battle.
We don't know what to do. "
"There's a saying in the Eastern Alliance. It's that the universe is governed by invisible laws.
When a creature reaches a certain level of strength, it's bound to the laws of the universe.
I know many scientists from the Northern Alliance and Western Alliance think it's nonsense.
But as a Paragon, I can tell you that the Eastern Alliance's theory is correct. I'm beginning to feel the pressure of the universe.
It's not obvious yet, but it's definitely there. "
"There's no question the alien home worlds are far more powerful than we Adepts can hope to match. You could even say they're on a higher plane of existence.
They use planets as their bodies to evade the laws of the universe.
It's possible that the larger they are, the less pressure they're subjected to.
It's hard to prove, but it makes perfect sense. "
"In other words, we're dealing with powerful beings of all shapes and sizes.
In fact, I suspect that the reason they're stealing life energy isn't just for the sake of evolution, it's also to help the home worlds survive.
If that's the case, then it all makes sense. "
"In my opinion, any powerful existence would have a weakness, or perhaps I should say, a weakness.
I have one, and I'm sure any human Paragon has one.
It's the law of the universe.
There's no such thing as perfection or permanence.
It's the same for the aliens.
According to the Arcane Magnate's research, the Marauders' genetic chain is one of their problems … "
The Terminator continued. Lan Jue could tell from his words that he agreed with the Keeper and Bookworm's research.
He agreed that Adepts could deal more damage to the aliens.
"… After the battle, we were surprised to find that we were actually able to bring back very few vital crystals.
We paid a great price, but we didn't get as many as the Eastern Alliance did at the Multiplication Auction.
In fact, we've dealt a significant blow to the aliens as well.
We discovered that after an alien dies, their vital crystals are purposely retrieved by other aliens.
This was especially apparent during the battle with Arachnid.
Pay attention to the tentacles of the Queen Star Marauders.
In addition to targeting Arachnid and the fighters, they'll also wave their weapons in the air to absorb the vital crystals that fall from the sky. "
