Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1284 - 274: Empire Line: Toward the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (68)

"If Li Aozi intends to dive at Wild Port, then he will never reach the Void."

"Therefore, I believe there is a great possibility that Li Aozi will choose one of the three fixed deep ports: Xilan Port, Mowei Port, Chunfeng Port, for a strong assault and secret crossing."

The opinion proposed by Trechet quickly gained recognition from several senators.

"No matter how strong Leoz's strength is, he can easily defeat Arthur, which means he has the potential to strongly defeat a senator; we cannot casually divide our forces."

"But what if Leoz really chooses to take a risk? Don't forget, when Leoz was exiled, everyone thought Leoz posed no threat, who knew it would become like this now."

"Like this now? How is it now? Can Leoz overturn the sky or earth? Our goal is to find the Dragon Mortality Weapon, Leoz is not the purpose. Just a mere thug, what is there to fear."

"Of course, the Dragon Mortality Weapon is important, but the existence of Leoz cannot be ignored either. Do you want to let a tiger return to its mountain and leave future trouble?"

The appearance of disagreements plunged the council into immediate dispute as they began to constantly argue and discuss whether to divide forces or station troops.

This is not considered a strange scene.

In fact, in the absence of the Speaker at the meeting, the arguments in the Secret Council have always been like this, fighting fiercely over a topic, compatriots harming each other, and partisan strife is not uncommon.

Trechet and Militrui, although nominally both belong to the [Emperor] Anpolo's faction, they do not share the same interests, whether in perspective or handling principles.

[Teacher] Trechet is an Earthling belonging to the construction faction, and numerous non-combat type secret citizens are close to her, holding the position of education and training, which makes Trechet immensely networked in secret circles, speaking with considerable confidence.

While [Soldier] Militrui is purely a strong warrior, her confidence stems from possessing nearly the strongest martial force under the Speaker.

In earthly terms, this is a case of a scholar encountering a warrior.

Militrui insists on viewing the problem from a military perspective, firmly advocating troop division, but Trechet believes that Li Aozi's growth and past actions make rash risk unlikely, hence troops should be stationed for defense.

Vellia observes all this coldly.

Even though she doesn't know much about Li Aozi... Yawen often mentions this guy for no reason. Plus, observing along the way gave her reasonably deep understanding of Li Aozi.

If she were Li Aozi, she definitely wouldn't choose Wild Port, as it wouldn't achieve the goal.

Moreover, she wouldn't choose to forcibly attack a port that greatly compromises combat power, depleting the Spiritual Warriors at hand.

If she were Li Aozi, although it sounds far-fetched, but think about it, the easiest decision Li Aozi might make should be...

Boom!

The powerful rumbling echoed above Destiny Fort, halting the Secret Council's clamor instantly.

Secret Councilors exchanged glances, simultaneously looking toward the door.

Screech!

The sound of tearing flesh.

Clang!

The resounding crash of armor shattered and flattened.

Boom pop!

The violent rumbling of magic and cannon fire.

Militrui looked at [Astrologer] Kauna: "Kauna, astrological divination, what exactly has happened."

Kauna's eyes glowed blue, as tendrils like oil paint floating on the water surface extended from his scalp, his hands morphing into claws, fingertips extending over dozens of centimeters, constantly fiddling with the void as if arranging a chessboard. After a moment, he spoke:

"It's the Four Great Narrative Consortiums, they've begun their attack on us."

"...Hahaha...Hahahahaha..."

Vellia's laughter was as pleasant as jingling silver bells, resonating within the hall of Destiny Fort:

"As expected, I guessed right."

"Li Aozi won't do anything, and the Narrative Consortiums will judge that there's no longer a possibility for Oxiulia's restoration, while you, capable of annihilating Oxiulia, are the true threat."

"Doing nothing... that's the most efficient approach in this environment."

[Teacher] Trechet gazed at Vellia, and said:

"You truly understand Li Aozi well."

"The little spider you originally caught, which is [Tailor] Yawen, understands him even more and is of more value, it's a pity you didn't care, directly killing her." Vellia said casually: "Now, your arrogance comes at a price."

But now, no one paid her any mind. Secret Councilors were too occupied to whisper, breaking their left pinkies in unison at the next moment, their eyes turning completely silver-white, the flow of Ether Blood within unified, representing their thought awareness under the root linkage coordination of the [Secret Society], entering into a synchronized state.

Thus, the Secret Council truly engaged battle mode.

Intense explosions continuously erupted on Destiny Fort's ground, turning the place, just secretly 'liberated', toward further wasteland.

Airstrikes were merely the prelude of the Union.

No need for national explanations of objectives, no need for governmental mobilization, no need to promote their own righteousness.

Once the enemy as [Society] information transmitted into the narrative, all preparations completed.

The "Crimson Blood Alliance," being closest to the Oxiulia Empire, almost bordering it, announced its entry into war immediately, with supplies and army units dispatched to the frontline within five seconds, directly crossing the border river, launching ground action toward Oxiulia.
