"Tell Endless Borders' headquarters that this is a war. Since they're participating, their lives will be forfeited. If Ba Qu dies, don't blame me." Lu Yin ended the call and contacted the old smoker. He offered five natural treasures to the old smoker to assassinate Ba Qu.
Ba Qu might not be as powerful as a top-tier assassin, but his status was high and his location was well hidden. The price of five natural treasures was not high.
Lu Yin had actually wanted to hire the old smoker to assassinate Wei Rong, but he had not made up his mind. He did not know why, but there were some things that required a bottom line. Wei Rong was a respected opponent, and even though they had only met a few times, Lu Yin found it difficult to assassinate him.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Imperial Squadron requests to participate," Peach said eagerly.
Gong Ke, who had been protecting Peach, was shocked. "No, the battlefield is too dangerous. You can't go." He then stared at Lu Yin with a warning look.
Lu Yin ignored him and said to Peach, "If you want to go, then go. Take care of yourself."
Peach was delighted. "Thank you, Your Highness!" She leapt out of the spacecraft and headed towards the battlefield.
Gong Ke was shocked and glared at Lu Yin. "If anything happens to her, the Hall of Tai Mo won't let you off."
Lu Yin frowned. "I'm not in a good mood right now. Watch your attitude."
Gong Ke wanted to say something else, but he swallowed his words when he saw Lu Yin's cold glare. This person was not to be trifled with, and he was lawless. Gong Ke was unwilling to give up and hurried to the battlefield to protect Peach while contacting the Hall of Tai Mo.
Within the main hall of the Tai Mo Palace, Master Bei was enraged. "This Lu Yin is too bold! He actually dares to let Little Peach participate in the battle! Who's going to take responsibility if something happens?" He didn't care about Peach's life or death, but if that arrow was lost on the battlefield, it would be difficult to find it again.
Gong Ling immediately contacted Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had already guessed that the Hall of Tai Mo would contact him when he sent Peach to the battlefield.
"Sect Master Gong Ling, what can I do for you?" Lu Yin asked with a smile.
Gong Ling's expression was solemn. "Alliance Master Lu, do you know the consequences if something happens to Little Peach on the battlefield?"
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Sect Master Gong Ling, are you threatening me?"
"Of course not. Alliance Head Lu is an ambitious and ruthless person. Even my Tai Mo Hall has to respect Alliance Head Lu. However, Little Peach is very important to my Tai Mo Hall. If anything happens to her, no matter who it is, my Tai Mo Hall will not let them off," said Gong Ling coldly.
Lu Yin nodded, "I understand Headmaster Gong's intentions, but war is imminent. Since Peach is the captain of the Sixth Squadron and has volunteered to fight, I shouldn't reject her. Otherwise, what would others think?
Special treatment?
You're the leader of a faction, so you should know that this isn't an easy position to hold. "
"I hope that Alliance Master Lu understands what the Hall of Tai Mo has relied on to achieve its current status." Gong Ling said one last thing before hanging up.
Lu Yin put away his gadget and looked at the battlefield.
The battle in the distance was intense, and there were already more than five Cruisers participating in the battle. Next up would be the Hunters.
It was still far from the most intense moment.
"Your Highness, this subordinate requests to participate," Xueshan Auna said respectfully as he stepped forward.
Ever since the Auna family had become Lu Yin's butcher's knife and gotten rid of a large number of corrupt officials, they had become hated by everyone in the Great Yu Empire. They had suffered great losses, but they had still achieved their goal. Lu Yin now trusted the Auna family, and he had specially brought Xueshan Auna along. The position of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of External Affairs was still given to Hill Auna, which made the Auna family feel completely at ease.
Lu Yin replied, "There's no need for you. This battle will be led by the allied forces."
After speaking, Lu Yin ordered the allied forces to send two Hunters to join the battle. The moment they took action, Armament Weave suffered heavy losses. Armament Weave had been avoiding Hunters from joining the fray, as they did not want the situation to escalate. However, since the allied forces had taken the initiative to attack, they had no choice but to accept the challenge.
A single Hunter was enough to change the outcome of a battle, let alone two.
A beam of light shot over from a distance.
This was an attack that gathered a considerable amount of energy. Armament Weave had found Lu Yin's location and immediately launched an attack.
However, the beam was easily blocked by Aden.
Peach easily suppressed one of the enemy's Cruisers on the battlefield, forcing the enemy to send more people to defend against her.
Lu Yin had been paying attention to Peach all this time, but he had never seen her use Taimo Temple's battle techniques. It was impossible that she did not know how to use them, but no one had forced her to do so yet. This battle should be enough for her to use them.
Ten days passed, and Armament Weave's reinforcements continued to arrive via the Endless Shipping System.
Lu Yin had been waiting for news from the Old Smoker.
Over the past ten days, both sides had not stopped fighting. Although the allied forces had the upper hand, they were still unable to completely suppress Armament Weave.
Now that Armament Weave had five Hunters supporting them, Lu Yin had no choice but to send Xueshan Auna and Aden to the battlefield. As for the rapid response team, he still had not revealed himself.
Countless people were paying attention to the ten days of continuous fighting. Not only were there news from the eastern and central weaves, but even the Western Weaves were all focused on this battle. The entire Outerverse's attention was focused on this battle.
Qiong Xi'er had been paying attention to this battle for a month, which meant that she had been paying attention to it since the beginning.
Even with the Great Eastern Alliance's combined strength, they still had not been able to take down Armament Weave. Wei Rong truly had some skills.
Although the cost of rebuilding Qiong Xi 'er was enormous, it was still a drop in the ocean for the Qiong family.
Qiong Shanhai did not pay much attention to this battle, but he was very interested in Lu Yin and Wei Rong. In his heart, Qiong Xi'er's marriage was the most important thing.
Unfortunately, neither Lu Yin nor Wei Rong had any thoughts of marrying into the Qiong family. Both of them were ambitious, especially Lu Yin. If he really wanted to marry into the Qiong family, then he would have met the requirements. However, Qiong Shanhai recalled what Qiong Xi'er had said before. Truthfully, he did not dare to let Lu Yin marry into the Qiong family. That would not be inviting a son-in-law, but rather a wolf.
"Xi'er, what do you think of this battle?" Qiong Shanhai asked.
Qiong Xi'er was puzzled. "Dad, you care about this too?"
Qiong Shanhai replied, "After all, both of them participated in the Qionglin Banquet, so I'm curious."
Qiong Xi'er casually turned off her gadget's screen. "If nothing unexpected happens, then the Wei family is finished."
"Are you that sure?
Wei Rong is an opponent that even you are afraid of. Rumor has it that he's good at forming alliances and is good at seizing opportunities. Even he isn't Lu Yin's match? "
Qiong Xi'er replied, "That's why I said that nothing unexpected happened. Wei Rong is someone who is good at creating accidents, but Lu Yin is even stranger. No one knows what methods he has up his sleeves. Just like this battle, it came out of nowhere. Everyone thought that he would attack the central weaves after he completely unified the eastern weaves, but he just so happened to attack now. Isn't he afraid that his own backyard will catch fire?"
"What if he has to fight?" Qiong Shanhai asked meaningfully.
Qiong Xi'er's eyes flashed. "Dad, do you know something?"
Qiong Shanhai laughed. "Don't pretend. How could you not know?
The Qionglin Banquet gave Wei Rong a platform to ally with the Dark Phoenix Clan. With that kid's personality, how could he not contact the Dark Phoenix Clan?
Hugh Phinhas insisted that Lu Yin killed Tyler Phinhas, and the Dark Phoenix Clan hates Lu Yin, which gave Wei Rong the perfect opportunity. "
Qiong Xi'er nodded. "That's right. From the moment Hugh Phinhas blamed Lu Yin for Tyler's death, this battle was unavoidable. Even if Wei Rong didn't contact the Dark Phoenix Clan, Lu Yin still wouldn't have stopped. He had to quickly eliminate Wei Rong before the Dark Phoenix Clan intervened in the East-West Weaves' war. Unfortunately, he's still too slow. Wei Rong has been planning for so long, and it's still effective. He can hold on for now.
"If the Dark Phoenix Clan participates, then won't the Great Eastern Alliance be in trouble?" Qiong Shanhai asked.
Qiong Xi'er disdainfully replied, "The Dark Phoenix Clan alone won't be able to deal with Lu Yin. Although we lost our memories of the underground battle, Lu Yin was the only one who was unscathed when we came out. Even Yuehua Mavis was in such a sorry state, which shows how powerful Lu Yin's methods are. Furthermore, he has the Hall of Honor behind him, so it'll be too difficult for the Dark Phoenix Clan to deal with him.
Qiong Xi'er then looked at Qiong Shanhai. "Dad, don't get involved in this battle. No matter who you help, it won't do us any good."
Qiong Shanhai replied, "Don't worry. Wanqian City is still being rebuilt, and I don't have the energy to participate in anything else." He was in a good mood. The Neohuman Alliance had coveted Wanqian City, and since they had failed this time, there shouldn't be any other forces that would attack Wanqian City. Now that the Zhu family's ancestor was dead, the Zhu family was no longer a threat, and Wanqian City was safe.
Qiong Xi'er looked at Qiong Shanhai's relaxed expression, but she couldn't relax. She was more inclined to side with the Wei family in this battle, as she hoped that the Wei family would be able to stop the Great Eastern Alliance from expanding westward. Otherwise, if Lu Yin succeeded in expanding westward, Wanqian City would also be on the path to expansion.
Even if Wanqian City had the ability to protect itself, if the surrounding areas became Lu Yin's territory, then they would be like turtles in a jar. How long could they last?
Lu Yin wasn't from the Neohuman Alliance. He had a brain, and more importantly, he had the support of the Hall of Honor. This person was far more dangerous than Wei Rong.
Furthermore, she felt that the memories she had lost underground were very important. She had lost too much blood, and after those people had left, she hadn't been able to find the blood she had lost underground. Where had it gone?
This was the question that Qiong Xi'er wanted to know the most. She was worried that her blood had been taken away by someone else, which would be troublesome.
In the distant Saint Lesser Weave, a radiant-grade spacecraft was speeding towards Armament Weave. This spacecraft belonged to Endless Borders, and within it was a member of the development team of Endless Borders. The captain was Ba Qu.
There weren't many development teams in Endless Borders, and it wasn't as easy to establish a team and enter the board of directors. Ba Qu had only been able to reach his current position by contributing three secret trade routes.
Any development team's captain would have a very high status within Endless Borders.
Ever since Ba Qu had become the captain of the development team, he had been very high-profile, and people would fawn over him wherever he went. Of course, he hadn't slacked off either, and he had always been thinking of ways to develop new trade routes. The more trade routes he contributed, the higher his position within Endless Borders would be.
