733 Do You Think I Don’t Exist?
At the highest command post of the southern warzone, a group of Immortal Realm Practitioners ran around in a flurry, most of them giving orders and mobilizing troops.
“Hurry up! All personnel that can move, gather! I want to see the troops assemble within half an hour!”
“The advance party is in position and can set off at any time!”
“Order station 133, 630, 711… All the stations above, immediately open the teleportation channels and send out the advance troops!”
“Reporting! Abnormal energy fluctuations were detected in the direction of Ocean City. The magnitude exceeds the detection threshold!”
…
Orders and reports were mixed, and the entire command post was in a mess as if the world’s end had come.
In the command center’s conference room, the high-level personnel at the Celestial Realm and Earth Immortal Realm gathered. All of them looked solemn and a little uneasy.
“According to the information sent by Lord Emissary, the demons have been preparing for this operation for more than ten years.”
“That’s right. According to the energy we’ve detected so far, it’s likely that the demons gathered this time have exceeded 100 billion! For such a large-scale operation, they must have made preparations long ago.”
“What’s the use of that now? We’d better hurry up and think of a way to solve this problem!”
All the higher-ups were frowning.
“I’m afraid we can’t solve the current situation with our combat power alone.”
“I’ve already followed the Lord Emissary’s instructions and tried my best to gather all the troops in the surrounding area, but time is short, so I can only gather less than a billion at most. If you want more, we can’t do it in half an hour!”
Someone stood out and said in a deep voice. The group immediately fell silent.
The total number of military personnel in the southern warzone was about fifty to sixty billion, but they were all scattered in major defense lines and cities.
They were incomparable to the number of demons.
The reason why they could withstand the demon attacks over the years was because of the strategic equipment and resources stored in the various defense lines.
For example, flying warships, city defense cannons, pure Yuan bombs…
These items were all high-end technology, and their destructive power was something even the demons of the Immortal Realm didn’t dare to underestimate.
However, not only were their forces scattered, all kinds of cutting-edge technology could not be transported over shortly.
On the other hand, the demons would invade the third defense line in half an hour and launch a full-scale attack on the southern warzone.
Once the demons succeeded, the territory outside the third defense line would be lost. If the situation became worse, the entire southern warzone might fall!
“With such a small force, what can we use to fight?”
“I’ve already requested reinforcements from above. It’s expected that the first batch will arrive tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? The demon army would launch a full-scale invasion in half an hour! By the time they get here, it’ll be too late!”
“Alright, alright! What’s the point of you quarreling here? Right now, Lord Emissary is all alone, and he’s facing the pressure of the demon army!”
While the group was quarreling, a figure in the corner suddenly stood up and spoke faintly.
“Why don’t we ask for help from Heavenly Court Island?”
As soon as he said that, everyone present fell silent.
All of them were frowning as if they were considering this suggestion.
“The danger isn’t as simple as invading one or two large cities. If we ask Heavenly Court Island to help, I’m afraid not even Lord Emissary can decide the price we’ll have to pay!”
“That’s right. We have already reported the situation to the Alliance headquarters. Whether we should ask the people from Heavenly Court Island to help, I think the headquarters will make a decision.”
In the conference room, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.
The Heavenly Court Island and the Star Alliance were not the same, but their foundation was not any weaker than the Star Alliance.
In terms of high-level combat power, Heavenly Court Island even crushed the Star Alliance.
The territory the Star Alliance controlled was vast, and the internal forces were complicated. It was also difficult to distinguish the disputes of interests.
When demons and other alien races appeared in various places and invaded or occupied territories, the higher-ups of the Star Alliance would often discuss a suitable plan. Then, they would pay a price and ask the experts of Heavenly Court Island to come forward.
The higher the mission’s difficulty, the greater the price to pay.
“Everyone, I would like to remind you that the southern warzone is now under the special jurisdiction of our own management. At present, most benefits here have been divided into the hands of the forces behind you. If you wait for the Alliance headquarters to ask the Heavenly Court Island to help, you’re dreaming!”
Everyone was speechless.
It was a fact. They had handed over less than a quarter of the resources to the Star Alliance. The majority had been split among the people present.
Now that danger had appeared, it was unrealistic to make the Star Alliance headquarters pay the price.
“There’s no time to hesitate. The only people who can save us now are the Heavenly Court Island!”
“I think you should contact your respective leaders and explain the situation. Otherwise, none of you will have an easy time when the warzone falls!”
A few people stood out and said.
Soon, the meeting room was heated with discussions.
Demon invasion had threatened everyone’s interests.
If the Star Alliance could not provide timely assistance, they could only rely on Heavenly Court Island for help.
The price to pay for asking for help could only be the territory that they controlled.
“Alright, the Wang family agrees to this proposal!”
