Chapter 708: Chapter 703: Are You Here to Surrender?
"Why haven’t you communicated with the Huaxia Battle Group? I haven’t received any news about the Yazd Star invasion," Bai Pu said.
"The Nine-person Council has discussed it. We can still hold on for a while, so we haven’t notified you yet to avoid negatively affecting your decisions... How is it? The Spirit Realm battlefield should be more dangerous, have you been promoted to Golden Vice Admiral?"
Just as Li Ling anxiously inquired, a group of big shots also hurried over. Leading them was none other than Speaker Wan.
"Gangxin! You’re finally back, what’s the result?"
Speaker Wan looked around and found only Bai Pu present, and Bai Pu’s battle armor was in tatters, appearing defeated, which made him widen his eyes.
He said tremulously, "Did we fail? What about the others..."
Bai Pu raised his hand to stop him and smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, this time the Spirit Realm campaign in the Demon Fighting World, we won... The harvest far exceeded expectations."
Bai Pu then briefly explained his promotion to Major General, and his ability to take the entire Earth through a space transition.
"Taking the entire Earth through a space transition?"
Not only Speaker Wan, but all the other big shots were shocked, immediately followed by a burst of jubilation!
"That’s great, that’s great... I thought Earth was done for, and human civilization was doomed, but unexpectedly there’s a turn for the better! Gangxin, I was right, you are the Savior of the whole world!"
Speaker Wan was full of emotions, then said excitedly, "What materials do you need to transform Earth into a starship? Just say it! Even if it means sending the military to requisition or plunder abroad, I assure you, we’ll get it to you in the shortest time!"
"I have already checked. I can use the Major General’s authority to exchange with Gaia’s Will for a ’Planet Power Core.’ The exchange requires the principle of equivalent exchange, meaning we need to provide Gaia’s Will with some materials She can use, and here is the list."
Bai Pu set the list into display mode.
"Ten tons of Shadow Iron, a thousand cubic meters of Dragon Ridge Stone, a thousand kilograms of Star Pattern Sand..."
Seeing the list of materials, Speaker Wan nodded slightly, "There aren’t any particularly obscure materials; I’ve basically seen all of them. Li Ling Practitioner, contact the Equipment Department immediately, send the list to them and check the quantities. If there’s a shortfall, authorize the Special Service Bureau to use any means to requisition what’s needed."
Bai Pu sighed in relief. It seemed that seasoned Awakener leaders like Speaker Wan truly knew a lot.
"Now, outside the Western Capital’s protective shield, there are Yazd Slave Army and Sea Race Supervisors guarding. It’s not easy to travel through normal channels; we can only communicate through the Boundary Land."
Li Ling, while contacting the Equipment Department, sighed, "This will affect our efficiency in gathering resources."
"What is the strength of the Yazd Slave Army and Sea Race Supervisors? Are there any Evolvers?" Bai Pu asked.
"No. According to the Staff Department’s speculation, the space transition of a Tier Two planet requires energy materials far exceeding that of a Tier One planet, and the preparation time will also be longer."
Speaker Wan said, "This is also why the Sea Race dispatched Yazd Star as the vanguard. If Yazd Star can conquer Earth, there will be no need for Stilan Star to transition over."
"Even if Yazd Star cannot conquer it, the Yazd Slave Army will set up teleportation anchor points everywhere, facilitating Stilan Star’s secondary transition to crush Earth."
Li Ling interjected, "What we can confirm now is that there has been no appearance of enemies at the Evolver Level. These protective shields are National Destiny-level Artifacts, but they absolutely cannot withstand Evolvers."
"Since there are no Evolvers, I will go," Bai Pu said.
Bai Pu retrieved a bottle of Spiritual Liquid from his Storage Space and infused it with Prismatic Fighting Qi (Water). With a puff, the Spiritual Liquid turned into a vapor.
Bai Pu bathed in the vapor of Spiritual Liquid, soothing his tense nerves and feeling the latent injuries and fatigue within him gradually dissipate.
"No."
"You cannot go!"
Speaker Wan and a group of big shots simultaneously vetoed it, jokingly, Bai Pu is now the hope of the entire Earth, and he cannot be allowed to take such risks.
Even though there are no Evolvers, the Yazd Slave Army is mostly composed of Advanced Awakened, including some top-level Awakener experts.
With so many experts attacking together, unless they were Evolvers, anyone would meet their doom.
"Now is the time to buy time, to speed up our resource collection efficiency," Bai Pu raised his hand to stop everyone’s persuasion and said in an unquestionable tone, "Now the Yazd Slave Army can act freely on our planet and set up space teleportation anchor points. The timing of Stilan Star’s invasion might be greatly advanced! If we continue to drag on, we may not have time to convert into a starship before Earth is overrun."
After a pause, Bai Pu continued, "Even if the planet transitions, what do we do about the enemy already on Earth? They’ll all need to be cleared. A battle with this enemy vanguard is unavoidable, and it cannot be delayed!"
"Alright then... Notify Rooster of the Demon Fighting World and have the masters of the Huaxia Battle Group hurry back. Besides, our Special Forces Awakener Army units are also under your command to fight these Red Demons!"
Speaker Wan said.
Although they are all Advanced Awakened, these Central Hub big shots have long been away from the battlefield, their strength generally is not up to par, inferior even compared to the Drunken Flower Forest, so they are not suitable for deployment.
Bai Pu did not refuse. Although he had been tempered in the Demon Fighting World, significantly improving his strength, he would not boast of being able to single-handedly confront the entire invading Yazd Red Race tribe.
"You all continue according to plan. I will clear out the people above the Western Capital," Bai Pu said without waiting for everyone’s consent, directly summoning Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei, and wielding the Doomsday Spear.
The majesty of the Enhanced Lord Level Winged Tooth Beast King made the mid and low-level Awakened in the field find it hard to breathe, and that’s with Bai Pu restraining the Winged Tooth Beast King to try and control the Spiritual Particles from spreading outward.
With a ’whoosh,’ the Winged Tooth Beast King soared high into the air, with the strong Gang Wind blowing the surrounding Awakened wobbly, only a few Advanced Awakened leaders could maintain their balance.
Feeling the meager Spiritual Particles environment on Earth, the Winged Tooth Beast King raised its head and let out a joyful cry, finding flying particularly effortless, its speed greatly accelerated, breaking through the cover of the protective shield in the blink of an eye.
This kind of large-scale protective shield over a city is designed to block external threats but not internal ones. Bai Pu and Da Fei could easily leave from inside, but returning would require the permission of the shield’s controller.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Streaks of light shot over; obviously, the Yazd Slave Army experts entrenched in the airspace above the Western Capital, who had been wantonly attacking the shield, noticed the unusual appearance of Bai Pu.
The people of the Yazd Star’s Red Race have a body outline and features similar to Earth People, but with subtle differences.
Their pupils are needle-point shaped, expanding only in darkness, much like a feline. Their skin has a crystalline texture, perhaps due to the arid and hot environment of Yazd Star.
Beside these Yazd Slave Army experts, there was a Sea Race Supervisor, an octopus-faced Sea Race whom Bai Pu was quite familiar with.
"Are you the representative of Earth humans, coming to surrender?" The octopus-faced Sea Race spoke in a sharp voice.
