"Alright.
Where's Ah Jue? "Huali's voice was concerned.
Lan Qing answered. "He's been working hard on his cultivation. He hopes to break through to Paragon before the war begins."
Huali's voice was worried. "Boss, you have to talk to him.
You can't be too hasty or he'll go mad. "
Lan Qing assured her. "He'll be fine. His foundations are solid. If he wanted to break through he could've done it a long time ago. He's just waiting for the right opportunity.
His breakthrough won't be a random one.
Don't worry. "
Huali nodded. "That's good. I didn't think we'd have the chance to fight shoulder to shoulder.
A-Cheng should be coming with Tyrannosaurus.
Do you think there'll be a novel about the War of the Four Divine Monarchs? "
Lan Qing's voice was cold. "If that's all you're going to say, then hang up."
"Ugh!
Boss, you really don't have any fun at all.
Alright, that's it for now.
We'll talk when we meet. "Huali hung up.
Lan Qing shook his head. In truth, he didn't want Huali to command Neptune. Huali was too elegant, and in the heat of battle it was easy to get emotional.
She might not be able to keep her cool.
Still, he trusted the Hanhai Group. Hanhai was the largest financial group in the world, and had been around for many years. Their power was unquestionable.
They also had a huge reserve of talents.
Lan Qing could only hope that Neptune would bring them a pleasant surprise.
Three bastions against the alien home worlds. In some ways it was a three-on-three battle.
The alien home worlds were strong, but Lan Qing had complete faith in Middle Heaven.
Even if they couldn't defeat them in the end …
A fierce light flashed in his eyes.
If the Northern Alliance had the guts to do something, so could the Eastern Alliance!
… …
On the huge blue spaceship, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
Inside the airship's main control cabin, Sylva Austin sat there with an ashen face. He had been sitting like this for a few hours now.
As soon as the West's bastions were destroyed, he received word of what had happened.
The Austin Family's fleet was the first to take off from Europa.
In their haste, they didn't even have time to take most of the Austin family's wealth.
Although the Austin family was one of the most prominent political families in the Western League, their wealth paled in comparison to the Hanhai Group.
They only had a space fleet that was disguised as a merchant ship.
Of course, this was something the Western League had secretly allowed. After all, the Austin family had been in power in the Western League for many years.
Li Cha Austin stood beside his father. His expression was equally grim.
Leaving his home just like that, his future was uncertain.
He could not see the future at all.
"Father, we're leaving just like that.
Western League … "Li Cha said in a low voice.
"The Western League is finished!" Sylva Austin cut his son off roughly.
Yes, the Western League was finished. Without its two bastions, the Western League was like a naked woman, at the mercy of the aliens.
"But we can ask for reinforcements from the Northern Alliance. The Northern Alliance may not be able to defeat so many bastions." Li Cha was reluctant to part with his country.
Sylva closed his eyes in agony. "That's impossible.
I know the Northern Alliance's situation well.
You're not a politician, you don't understand their problems.
Politicians don't get to do whatever they want to do.
The Northern Alliance has been in chaos for a long time now. Four planets have been destroyed, and that has affected them greatly.
All they can do now is defend Luo.
But in reality, the Western League is finished. Do you think the Northern Alliance will be able to defend Luo? "
At this point, Sylva Austin's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Li Cha was taken aback. "Father, you mean we're not going to the Northern Alliance?"
"Of course not," Sylva answered.
"Why would we go to the Northern Alliance?
To be their vassals?
We've been prepared for this day. Although we've given up much of our wealth, we've brought with us many resources, including a colonized ecosystem.
What we need to do now is to get as far away from human territory as possible.
Including our direct subordinates, we have over three hundred thousand people.
With these three hundred thousand as a base, we can rebuild the Western League.
So what if the Northern Alliance wins?
The Western League is no more. What will they do to us?
The Austin Family can only rule! "
Richard opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.
His face was bitter.
Europa was where he'd grown up. He didn't even dare imagine what the situation was like there.
Given what the aliens had done in the past, Europa would have been destroyed long ago.
The Austin Family could only rule?
But what was the point of being a ruler who couldn't even protect his own people?
In that moment, Li Cha felt like he'd grown up.
A beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Qian Lin, how are you?
It's been a long time since I've heard from you.
Are you still with that guy?
I really regret that I'm not strong enough.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have been snatched away by him back then.
Every time he thought of Zhou Qianlin, Li Cha felt an indescribable pain in his heart. But too much had happened recently.
Even the pain of his love for Qianlin seemed to have faded a great deal.
In the face of survival, love wasn't as important.
Just then, a soldier in the uniform of a colonel suddenly ran over and said, "Sir Austin, we have a problem.
An unknown force is blocking our way. "
"Huh?" Sylva Austin froze.
He rose to his feet. "Do you know who they are?"
The colonel hesitated. "I think they're from the Eastern Alliance."
"The Eastern Alliance?"
Sylva's brows furrowed. Shouldn't the Eastern Alliance have returned to the Eastern Alliance to protect their home planet after their battle with the aliens?
Why would they suddenly appear here?
"Take me to them," Sylva said.
Under the colonel's lead, Sylva Austin quickly walked to the large screen in the main control area. Sure enough, the screen showed a dense fleet of warships.
These battleships maintained a neat formation and flew in their direction.
"From their signal and the markings on their ships, it's definitely the Eastern Alliance.
They're asking to connect to us.
What do you think … "
Sylva's brows furrowed, and his voice was low. "Take them." It was strange to run into Eastern soldiers at this time of the night.
Had the Eastern Alliance not received word that the Western Alliance had been invaded?
There was a flash of light, and an Eastern officer with the rank of Colonel appeared.
"I am Senior Colonel Liu Feng of the Eastern Alliance's An Lun Army. What is your designation?" Liu Feng said.
The colonel next to Sylva Austin spoke up. "This is Western Alliance territory. Why are you Eastern Alliance soldiers entering our territory?
Why are you asking for our designation? "
Liu Feng's voice was low. "We're here to help the Western Alliance fight against the aliens.
We don't know your designation, so of course we need to know. "
Help the Western Alliance fight against the aliens?
Sylva Austin couldn't help but stare blankly after hearing this.
Was there really such a person?
The Northern Alliance couldn't even fend for themselves, and now the Eastern Alliance had sent reinforcements.
Sylva Austin couldn't help himself. "How many reinforcements do you have?"
Senior Colonel Liu Feng said, "Report your unit number first."
Sylva Austin hesitated. "This is the Western Alliance's Ninth Fleet. I am the commander, Sylva."
Liu Feng looked at him through the screen. "You're the commander?
Why aren't you wearing your uniform?
As far as I know, the Western Alliance doesn't have a Ninth Fleet. "
Sylva Austin's voice was low. "This is the newest designation. I wish to speak with your commander.
Please tell him my name is Sylva Austin.
I am the commander of the Western Alliance. "
Liu Feng paused, then checked the information. Sure enough, the computer confirmed that Sylva Austin was the commander of the Western Alliance. He was also the head of the Austin family.
Liu Feng was a smart man. From the unknown designation of the enemy's fleet to the Austin family, he was able to connect the dots.
However, the Austin family held a significant position in the Western Alliance, and the enemy had a complete fleet. This was important.
"Please wait a moment. I will contact the Admiral."
It wasn't long before a handsome young man appeared on the screen.
He wore a black uniform, four golden stars twinkling on his shoulders.
His face was calm, his eyes deep and cold.
Although it was only on the screen, Li Cha Austin, who stood behind Sylva Austin, couldn't help but feel intimidated.
This man's aura was strong.
Li Cha was taken aback.
Sylva Austin recognized the man in front of him at a glance. He was too famous in the Eastern Alliance, even in the human realm.
The An Lun Supersoldier, a hero of his generation.
The ruler of the Eastern Alliance's military, the Lord of the Middle Heaven, the former God of Wisdom, Prometheus, Lan Qing!
