Capítulo 1184: Chapter 607: Twist After Twist After Twist
“Your boldness is beyond my expectations.”
Gutierrez couldn’t help but sigh; if it were him, he would never have been so straightforward.
Seeing Malcolm’s nearly twisted expression next to him, it was clear how displeased he was.
However, Gutierrez also felt somewhat doubtful, “Did you do this solely for Li Ming?”
He felt it wasn’t worth it, even though Li Ming’s future was indeed worth paying attention to.
But it was only theoretical because their means of control could govern the body and life and death, yet couldn’t grasp the psyche.
Although everyone was quite covetous of this young fellow, once truly in hand, could they truly feel at ease nurturing him?
No one knew how deep his feelings for the Azure Dragon truly were; he had to undergo numerous tests, and if his memory review failed, he’d be put on ice or even dissected, essentially wasted.
“Not just for that…” Adam didn’t directly answer the question and said, “The Azure Dragon’s plan has already become apparent; he can’t resist Kashmir’s Spear, so he simply moved it away.”
“Given the strength the Azure Dragon has displayed, if there’s no balance from Kashmir’s Spear, almost no one among the remaining X Level Life Forms on site is his match.”
“However…” he continued, “the number is not small, and he cannot easily resolve it.”
“So, I estimate we might see Lord Azure Dragon’s true form, which will be a rare opportunity.”
“Perhaps we can solve this trouble once and for all.”
What Adam said made sense; he had insight into the Azure Dragon’s plan and quickly countered.
Malcolm had already calmed down by now, expressionless; the matter already happened, and anger was useless,
However, Adam’s explanation also couldn’t convince him, after all, it was merely speculation.
This was the Azure Dragon’s original plan; seeing things aren’t right, wouldn’t he change the plan?
Coupled with Adam’s series of abnormal behaviors before, Malcolm was certain there was some hidden story behind this.
But Gutierrez was in quite a good mood, even clapping repeatedly, “No wonder you’re the Holy Emperor who has ruled the Empire for thousands of years.”
His eyes revealed some admiration, but he suddenly changed the topic, “However, although I appreciate you sharing this secret selflessly with me, Li Ming’s affiliation should be discussed last.”
Admiration aside, he couldn’t give in on interests.
Malcolm sneered, Adam’s face slightly darkened, merely urging, “Quickly order Shepherd to withdraw.”
Gutierrez nodded, reaching out to touch the smart terminal at the last moment, but paused, hesitating, “Is this information true? You two aren’t teaming up to deceive me, are you?”
“Hahaha…” Malcolm burst into loud laughter, laced with ridicule towards Adam.
Adam’s face grew darker, Gutierrez shrugged, “Don’t be angry, we’ve all dealt with each other for so many years; a little caution is nothing.”
He was merely testing; their reactions made it clear this wasn’t fake.
Moreover, this secret couldn’t generally be fabricated.
……
The retreat movement of the Star Alliance’s fleet caused quite a stir.
Not only were interstellar media chasing and filming, but commanders of the Empire and Federation were also confused, contacting superiors to inquire what was happening.
In Anduin’s palace, everyone looked bewildered, still somewhat unresponsive.
Sven raised his gaze listlessly, was this child’s play, leaving just like that?
“Lord Gaius, why did the Star Alliance retreat?” the Empire’s High-level Life Form asked softly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
They were all smart people; the only factor that could lead to such a change was the Azure Dragon.
Some peoples’ eyes surveyed Anduin and others’ faces, aiming to confirm their guesses.
However, they found Anduin and Sheffield equally puzzled, seeming unaware of the situation.
The two no longer dared to make reckless speculations; Sheffield remembered his recent expression of looking up, even wanting to slap himself.
“Entering simultaneous warp state,” the Federation people whispered.
In Starfield, the Star Alliance’s fleet of millions, under unified intelligent guidance, simultaneously flared ghostly blue tail flames.
Each cluster of engine-glowing radiance was tearing silver-white ripples in the vacuum, synchronously warping, gradually stretching into thin lines.
The flashes connected into a sheet, as if the fleet was a flowing metallic river, magnificent and majestic.
However, due to the sheer number, even entering warp status required some time to leave.
“They’re really leaving.”
Warp status isn’t a propulsion status; a second of flight covers a vast distance, returning isn’t something quick.
Gaius’s face was tense; he still hadn’t received any notice, merely instructed to stabilize the scene.
Finally, a smile appeared on Anduin’s face; he didn’t know what method the Azure Dragon used, but once the Star Alliance left, the coalition’s strength would be greatly weakened.
Not just because of those ten X Level Life Forms, but mainly because of Kashmir’s Spear.
Being targeted by that thing was indeed terrifying.
The remaining X Level Life Forms recognized this point; without Kashmir’s Spear, how could they play with the Azure Dragon?
For a moment, everyone felt a bit uneasy.
“I ask all esteemed individuals not to perform any sensitive actions or have any other thoughts right now,” Gaius astutely perceived this, immediately stating sternly:
“Once fighting starts, the presence here won’t give you the chance to explain.”
