If this war was a success, then there was no need to say anything more. Everything would be fine as usual.
The Poseidon Group would continue with their Ocean Empire Planet as the core.
If they failed, however, the Hanhai Group would immediately announce their alliance with the Eastern Alliance. Neptune would head for Skyfire.
They would cooperate fully with the Eastern Alliance.
When that happened, the Western Alliance would be no stronger than the Eastern Alliance. The Hanhai Group would have nothing to worry about.
Of course, the Poseidon Group had already made preparations to flee at that time.
The fate of the human world depended on the outcome of this campaign.
This was a battle where they could only win and not lose. Once they lost, no one could bear the terrible consequences, and the humans might really have to flee.
Their fleet of interstellar ships filled the skies. Middle Heaven and Middle Heaven flew slowly through space.
According to Lan Qing, Middle Heaven was only moving at half its maximum speed.
Although the Eastern Alliance was fully supportive of the Northern Alliance, they had no choice but to hold back.
If the Northern Alliance won and the Eastern Alliance came out on top, the Eastern Alliance wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Therefore, during the initial tactical deployment of this battle, the three alliances had a tacit understanding to separate the battle zones.
Each would be in charge of one area.
Three days later, Middle Heaven was in position. It spread out into formation and waited for the final order.
Eight bastions and twelve fleets covered a vast area. It was impossible to see with the naked eye.
Middle Heaven's radar could vaguely make out a portion of their deployment.
In the distance, four planets had turned a deep purple.
In fact, it wasn't just these four planets. The entire area they covered had turned purple.
In all her years of dealing with aliens, this was the first time Lan Jue had seen so many of them.
The alien army was densely packed in space. Their mental interference made it impossible for any radar to detect what was going on in that area.
Now, the best way of reconnaissance was to directly observe through the super space telescope.
All electronic forms of reconnaissance were useless on that side.
Looking at the radar in front of her, Lan Jue couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The best thing the aliens had ever done was to block out surveillance. It was because of this that humans knew so little about them that their tactics were always successful.
Lan Jue didn't slack off during the flight. He had to organize Star Division and arrange for the landing mission.
He didn't even have time to cultivate.
However, at his level, even if he didn't deliberately cultivate, his cultivation would still continue to rise, and he would have different degrees of growth every day.
He was getting closer and closer to that step.
Lan Jue had a vague feeling that she was not far from breaking through.
Zhou Qianlin's situation was similar.
After breaking through to ninth level ninth rank, Lan Jue was surprised to find that Zhou Qianlin's energy levels were even faster than his own. But they were different types.
Zhou Qianlin's energy was the purest Lan Jue had ever seen. Especially after absorbing his own immortal qi, Zhou Qianlin was like a body of pure energy.
No one was more eager than Lan Jue to break through to Paragon. Only then would Qianlin have a chance of recovering her sanity.
Only then could they truly be together.
These days, he had been taking care of her every day, and his emotions had gradually calmed down from the initial excitement. To him, nothing was more important than being able to be with her. As for the rest, what did it matter?
She wasn't Hera, but she was a second Hera in his heart.
She would wake up!
"Boss." A gentle voice called out from behind Lan Jue.
Lan Jue turned his head to see Xiu Xiu approaching with a glass of water.
"Thank you." Lan Jue accepted the glass and took a sip.
"How's your cultivation been?" Lan Jue asked with a smile.
Xiuxiu smiled faintly. Her smile was very beautiful, with a classical elegance that gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.
"It's been good. We've been working hard."
Lan Jue said apologetically. "I've been too busy lately. I haven't had time to worry about you."
Xiu Xiu smiled. "It's nothing!
As long as you're doing well, we're happy.
Just remember to bring us along. We're happy to see you. "
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. "Xiu Xiu, you've been with me for the longest time.
Father adopted you when you were young, and you've been with me ever since.
I've always treated you as a younger sister. We've always been on equal terms.
The so-called Four Maids of Zeus are all fabricated by outsiders. I've always treated you as my friends.
But you know, a person's heart can't be divided. It can't be given to many people at the same time.
More than one person has reminded me that I can't delay you any longer. Otherwise, there will be problems.
Xiu Xiu, after this war, I hope you can all have your own homes.
I hope you can all be happy. "
Xiu Xiu's expression changed. She said with a pale face, "Boss, you don't want us anymore?
Is it because of Miss Zhou Qianlin? "
Lan Jue was stunned. "Why would you think that?
It's not that I don't want you anymore. I just don't want to delay you anymore! "
Xiu Xiu lowered her head. "Everyone's happiness is different," she muttered. "You don't have to have a family, a husband, and children to be happy.
To me, my happiness is to be with you. Even if it's just seeing you every day, I'm already satisfied.
That's all I ask of you. Are you going to take away even this small wish? "
She lifted her head to look at Lan Jue. "You say you can't give your heart to too many people. But why was there Hera, then Hera, and now Zhou Qianlin?
I've always been by your side, waiting for that day to come. I've waited and waited, but it never came.
And now you're going to take away that right as well? "
Her voice grew louder and louder. Her body trembled with emotion.
Lan Jue looked at her, dumbfounded. He couldn't help but think back to the Pharmacist's words.
It was a serious problem. He hadn't expected Xiu Xiu's obsession to be so strong.
"I'm sorry, Xiu Xiu. I didn't mean it that way.
It's just … "
"Don't say it."
Xiu Xiu cried out. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "I won't leave you unless I die.
If you really want to chase me away, then kill me. "After saying that, she turned around and ran away crying.
Lan Jue felt a pang of pain as he watched her frail back. He felt weak. He'd always known that Xiu Xiu liked him. He'd known it for a long time.
But he'd thought it would fade with time.
Now it seemed things weren't as he'd imagined. Not only had it not faded, but it had become a bigger problem.
If Xiu Xiu was like that, then what about Kerr, Mika, and Lin Guo-guo?
What were they like?
It wasn't fair for them to follow him like this!
But they didn't seem willing to leave.
He rubbed his brow. He didn't know how he should handle this situation.
He'd have to wait until the war was over to talk to them.
Though troubled, Lan Jue didn't regret his decision.
Xiu Xiu had always been with him. He'd saved Lin Guo-guo, Mika, and Kerr. If he had to choose again, he'd save them.
There was no doubt about it.
Lan Jue put down the cup of water in his hand. He decided to cultivate for a while. The world was calm before the storm.
He'd take advantage of this time to consolidate what he'd learned.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.
Mika stormed in, her tight combat uniform accentuating the curves of her body. Her fiery red hair flowed down her back.
Mika was the most talented of the four. Even Su Xiaosu couldn't compare to her in terms of talent.
In recent times, Mika's cultivation had improved the fastest. She was now a Level Nine Rank Five Warrior.
Lan Jue had always known that of Zeus's Amazons, Mika was the one most likely to break through to Paragon.
However, because of the Demon King's bloodline, there was a chance she'd lose control.
"Boss!
Boss! "Mika's voice was high.
Lan Jue didn't need to ask to know he was here for Xiu Xiu, who'd run away crying.
"Mika, sit." Lan Jue pointed to a nearby chair.
"I'm not sitting."
Mika placed his hands on his hips. He glared at Lan Jue. "Boss, why are you bullying Xiu Xiu?
Don't you know how much she loves you? How could you treat her like this? "
"I …" Lan Jue was tongue-tied. She didn't know how to explain.
Mika's anger flared. "We're not asking for anything. Why do you have to kick us out?
We don't need another man. We don't need another home. We only have one home, and that's Zeus Jewelry Shop.
Do you know how much Xiu Xiu loves you?
I've seen her peek at your picture on her communicator more than once.
Every time she talks about you, her face lights up with happiness.
She's never asked for anything from you. Why do you have to kick us out?
Boss, I'm telling you, if you don't want us anymore, we'll all die. We'll make you regret it for the rest of your life.
Hmph! "
Mika snorted angrily, then turned to leave. She lifted her head like a proud princess.
Lan Jue watched her leave, dumbfounded. Was … was this a declaration of war?
