Chapter 433: Chapter433-Assaulting the Flying Fish Plane
"That bastard absolutely intends to annex us."
Sorys’s gaze shifted slightly, and his expression turned equally grim.
"He has nearly unified the entire Flying Fish Star System. Mistral Manor is now the only faction that still retains its independence."
"If he annexes us as well, Faustus will effectively rule the entire Flying Fish Star System."
"That man truly has nerves of steel."
Naturally, Logan was not completely unaware of the situation. He was simply shocked by Faustus’s audacity.
"Does he not understand that Mistral Manor is currently being courted by several factions backed by T7 Oracle-grade experts?"
"Besides, what good will attacking us do him?"
"The moment Mistral Manor formally chooses a side, the corresponding power will immediately send reinforcements."
"No matter which faction comes to our aid, won’t Faustus still have to obediently withdraw?"
"Even if he beats Mistral Manor half to death, he’ll merely be conquering territory and guarding it on behalf of someone else."
"How is that any different from being another faction’s dog?"
Sorys sneered repeatedly after hearing this.
"Who knows what that Daniel is thinking?"
"Since he wants to behave so arrogantly, let him continue."
"The moment a T7 Oracle-grade expert personally intervenes, he will certainly surrender immediately."
"Surely he doesn’t believe he can contend against a T7 Oracle-grade expert?"
Logan nodded before adding,
"Still, we must make defensive preparations."
"If we are destroyed before reinforcements from the other powers arrive, Mistral Manor will truly be finished."
"Recall every Divine-grade expert stationed outside."
"Faustus is a madman. There is nothing he wouldn’t dare do."
Sorys nodded.
"That makes sense. I’ll arrange it immediately."
...
Under the orders of Logan and Sorys, the other Oracle-grade experts of Mistral Manor rapidly returned to the Flying Fish Plane.
They even abandoned the surrounding minor and medium-sized factions, withdrawing all their forces back to their stronghold.
At this moment, almost none of Mistral Manor’s Oracle-grade experts remained stationed outside.
They had all returned to their headquarters.
Without those Oracle-grade experts standing in their way, Daniel’s armies advanced with overwhelming momentum, occupying every minor and medium-sized faction and plane in the surrounding regions.
By now, Daniel’s faction had taken control of almost the entire Flying Fish Universe.
Even the smallest and most insignificant powers had fallen under his rule.
This was something even Mistral Manor had never accomplished.
Compared with Daniel’s current faction, Mistral Manor’s former control over the Flying Fish Universe had not even amounted to one percent!
Throughout the entire Flying Fish Universe, only Mistral Manor on the Flying Fish Plane remained outside Daniel’s control.
However, Mistral Manor’s current situation was extremely delicate.
The various top powers that had extended olive branches to Mistral Manor were also watching from the sidelines.
Just as Logan and Sorys had predicted, after seeing the manor’s current predicament, those factions not only refused to offer assistance but instead stood by and watched with malicious amusement.
The reason was simple.
Once Mistral Manor was driven into desperation, it would no longer be able to reject them.
All they had to do was wait patiently for the manor to collapse.
Then they could intervene and force Faustus to hand over everything he had conquered.
It would be the perfect scheme—obtaining something for nothing and swallowing the entire Flying Fish Universe without lifting a finger!
Such an effortless profit was naturally something none of them would refuse.
...
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Across the vast starry sky, dozens of Imperial Bow-class warships were flying toward the Flying Fish Plane.
An Oracle-grade expert guarded each vessel.
Every one of them served Daniel and had come under his orders to seize the Flying Fish Plane!
Aboard the Imperial Bow-class warship at the very front, Daniel personally commanded the fleet, leading his subordinates toward their destination.
Before long, the protective array of the Flying Fish Plane appeared before them.
The Oracle-grade experts aboard the fleet could not help feeling uneasy.
After all, this array had been personally established by Forefather Mistral while he was still alive!
It was powerful enough to withstand the full-force strike of a T6 Oracle-grade expert.
The strongest among Daniel’s subordinates was only at the fifth stage of Oracle-grade.
None of them had any confidence in breaking through it.
The only one who might be capable of destroying the array was their new master, Daniel.
"Master..."
Vito was just about to speak when Daniel vanished from where he stood.
When he appeared again, he was already standing outside the array!
At this moment, Vito, the other Oracle-grade experts, and every member of Mistral Manor within the Flying Fish Plane turned their gazes toward Daniel.
Daniel examined the array and nodded faintly.
"With such a pitiful foundation, you are unworthy of calling yourselves the rulers of the Flying Fish Universe."
As soon as his words fell, he attacked without hesitation.
Boom!
An incomparably dazzling sword light appeared!
In almost the same instant, the array shattered like glass!
The entire plane began to tremble, and the expressions of everyone inside changed drastically.
"H-How is this possible?"
Logan cried out in disbelief.
This was an array personally arranged by the Forefather.
Even Logan himself could not break through it.
Yet Daniel had destroyed it effortlessly with a single sword strike.
Just how powerful was he?
Sorys’s expression also became exceedingly ugly.
"Damn it. We still underestimated him."
"No wonder he was able to swallow the entire Flying Fish Universe within such a short period."
"His strength can truly be described as invincible."
Swish!
After destroying the Flying Fish Plane’s array, Daniel flickered back onto the warship.
He raised one hand slightly.
"The protective array of the Flying Fish Plane has been destroyed."
"All forces, heed my command!"
"Launch a full-scale assault on the Flying Fish Plane!"
"Once we capture this plane, our mission will already be half complete!"
Rumble!
The warships immediately surged forward.
However, just as the fleet was about to enter the Flying Fish Plane, several figures suddenly charged out from within.
They were five fifth-stage Oracle-grade experts, each belonging to a different faction.
The moment they appeared, they blocked the fleet and prevented it from advancing.
Daniel narrowed his eyes, killing intent flashing within them.
They dared stand in his way?
One of the five Oracle-grade experts stepped forward.
He was a red-haired young man.
His gaze swept across the fleet before he shouted loudly,
"Which one of you is Faustus?"
"Come out and speak!"
His tone was arrogant, as though he did not take Daniel seriously at all.
Daniel frowned slightly.
The next moment, his figure appeared directly before the man.
"I am Faustus."
"What do you want?"
The red-haired Oracle-grade expert studied the young man before him with great interest.
When Daniel first appeared in the Flying Fish Universe, he had known almost nothing about him.
However, after investigating during this period, he had learned that Daniel came from the Chaosverse.
Beyond that, he had been unable to uncover any deeper information.
He only knew that the Chaosverse was a newly born universe filled with extraordinary chaos, and that a great deal of its information remained impossible to investigate.
