Chapter 548: Chapter 432 Unbeatable!_3
Looking back now, I wonder to what extent the war in the Crazy Demon Plane has escalated.
Then, at this moment, a message comes through from Belle.
The Crystal Demons have recaptured most of their Home Star, with only the former Demon Tribe’s Imperial City still under the control of the Crazy Demons. All the most powerful Crazy Demons are concentrated there, but according to Belle’s estimate, recapturing the imperial city won’t be too difficult.
Belle invites Long Yi to the Crazy Demon Star, as a witness, to see them completely reclaim their homeland.
Being invited, Long Yi naturally feels extremely honored and readily accepts.
However, given that the decisive battle is scheduled for a month later, Long Yi decides to attend to some important matters first.
By important matters, he means annexing the Gentle Wind Plain.
All along, the Gentle Wind Plain has become a barren land due to unstable spatial rifts and monsters that could emerge at any time. Each country has set up their borders around the Gentle Wind Plain, resulting in this large and very fertile land laying desolate over many years.
However, Long Yi is aware that the present Gentle Wind Plain is no longer a dangerous barren land. The Crystal Demon’s assault on the Crazy Demons has eradicated most of them, and the occasional stragglers can’t stir up any disturbance. If they can’t seize the Gentle Wind Plain during this opportunity, there won’t be any chance in the future.
A few small countries border the Gentle Wind Plain, as well as the Black Dragon Empire and Red Dragon Empire, giving Long Yi enough confidence. Therefore, Long Yi immediately finds Kirei.
"Your Majesty! Let’s expand our territory!" Long Yi suggested.
"You mean, the Gentle Wind Plain." Kirei almost instantly knew what Long Yi was about to propose as he too, had been thinking about it.
"That’s right! Haha, that’s why I like talking with smart people like you. You know exactly what I want as soon as I open my mouth." Long Yi patted Kirei’s shoulder.
Kirei smiled and nodded, without saying much. He didn’t mention to Long Yi that he and the Eye of the White Dragon had been studying Long Yi’s behavioral patterns! Long Yi’s strong presence and influence make him a significant figure in the White Dragon Empire. He rarely tells people what he plans to do, but each time he veers off, Kirei reaps the benefits. Although Kirei trusts Long Yi completely, if he knew what Long Yi was planning to do in advance, wouldn’t he be able to cooperate with him more effectively?
That’s why Kirei has been silently studying Long Yi’s behavior, and the Eye of the White Dragon has been doing the same. They carried out a series of research to predict Long Yi’s next move and its impact on the Empire. They had been doing this type of research for a while, but it became a primary focus recently.
And now, Kirei has guessed it correctly.
"Because you once mentioned that the monsters no longer pose a threat to us, which means the Gentle Wind Plain is safe. The Gentle Wind Plain is a third of the distance to the Black Dragon Empire’s Imperial City compared to our border. Our threat to the Black Dragon Empire is significantly greater." Emperor Kirei said.
"Indeed, that’s how I see it." Long Yi replied.
"However, the Black Dragon Empire will not just stand by and watch us cross over."
"Then let’s go to war. Our Dragon Knights are high in morale!" Long Yi responded cheerfully.
"That’s your actual intention, isn’t it!"
"Not really, I just feel that it’s a waste for the land to remain unused. It’s better for us to keep it. Besides, it will be convenient for us to get in touch with the Crystal Demons in the future." Long Yi explained.
"What about training the troops?"
"That’s just a bonus."
"I don’t believe that."
Kirei believes what Long Yi mentioned before, but he absolutely doesn’t believe that training the troops is simply a side benefit. Long Yi seems casual, but he is very goal-oriented and logical. If Long Yi talks about occupying that place, the Black Dragon Empire will never sit and watch. The next war is inevitable, and the newly transformed White Dragon Knights are high-spirited. After fully adapting to their new bodies, the Dragon Knights and their Mount Dragons have obtained new power. Rumor has it that the desire to avenge previous disgraces is high among the Dragon Knight Legion. It seems that Long Yi is truly planning to avenge their previous disgraces.
"Hehe, no worries if you don’t believe me. However, I was rather annoyed when the Black Dragon Empire forced me to reveal a card during our last encounter." Long Yi mentioned casually.
"So, are you planning to pressure the Black Dragon Empire into revealing their card?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we go to such lengths?" Long Yi laughed.
"However, pressuring the Black Dragon Empire to reveal their card may not be that easy. If it’s just the Dragon Knights, even though our White Dragon Knights have grown stronger, their Black Dragons are not to be dismissed. We may not be able to push them to that extent." Kirei mentioned.
"So, I think it’s time for our Battle Armors to make their debut."
"You plan to push the Battle Armors directly to the front line?"
"No, I plan to push those equipped with Light Cannons to the front line!" Long Yi stated.
Kirei thought about it and then nodded. Yes, though it seems like revealing the White Dragon Empire’s ace in the hole. However, the Black Dragon Empire probably already has a complete grasp of the movements of the Battle Armors, even the recently installed Light Cannons. It’s just that no one knows how effective they are in actual combat.
"Do you plan to engage in a comprehensive ground and air battle for this combat?" Kirei asked.
"No cleverly conceived strategy can compare to the small insights gained through actual combat." Long Yi replied.
"Although I do not agree with your view, I think it’s worth a try!" There was a gleam of eagerness in Kirei’s eyes. "Oh, by the way, what about your Demon Abyss Dragons? Why did they disappear after the last battle?" Kirei curiously asked, if Long Yi wanted to force the Black Dragon Empire to reveal their hand, wouldn’t the Demon Abyss Dragons be more suitable?
"I sent them back to Dragon Island in the Outer Sea, those big guys don’t have Dragon Riders and their food consumption is astronomical, I can’t afford to keep them."
Long Yi blurted out without thinking.
Kirei didn’t believe him naturally, but since Long Yi didn’t elaborate, there must be some special reasons, so Kirei didn’t delve into it any further. (To be continued.
