âI understand your point of view,â Jia Yan said.
âHowever, if we werenât so easy-going, we would have been angry long ago.
Your Excellency Obi, if there are similar issues in the future, I hope that your side will be more forthcoming and explain things clearly beforehand to the party you wish to invite!â
Jia Yan looked at the Tiger-Headed Monster, his expression suddenly turning a bit cold.
âAbsolutely, absolutely!â Feeling a sudden surge in the energy sense emanating from Jia Yan, the Tiger-Headed Monster felt a chill run through his body and quickly let out a laugh in an attempt to placate him.
At the same time, the monster also felt some anger: âWhat on earth is going on with the intelligence department?
They actually reported that Jia Yanâs strength was not much different from mine.
Now they send me out and I appear inferior, is it their wish for me to lose face?
Absolute idiots!â
The massive steel vehicles moved along the ground; the planning of this planet was quite good, so the roads were exceptionally vast.
While chatting with the Tiger-Headed Monster, Jia Yan also took the opportunity to observe the customs and culture of the planet.
At this moment, the Tiger-Headed Monster would not discuss any significant topics, merely sharing some experiences or recounting the history of this planet.
But between the lines, Jia Yan could tell that this fellow was proudly emphasizing the independent history of this planet, trying to get Jia Yan to acknowledge this preconceived notion.
Jia Yan did not express any opinion but was drawn to the first city he had seen in the Northern Star Domain.
The city they were in was the capital of Hao Tower Star.
The cityâs overall layout was quite decent, but it still retained many traces of its past as a war-torn city, with fortresses transformed into civilian housing scattered about, reminding all who came here of the planetâs history.
As for the cityâs prosperity, Jia Yan really couldnât tell.
If not for the items far surpassing Earth technologies and the intelligent lifeforms different from humans, Jia Yan would have doubted if he was still on Earth.
âWelcome, welcome!â A thin voice called out from beyond the controlled traffic routes, attracting Jia Yanâs attention.
It turned out to be a Bella child, astonishingly similar to Earth children about five or six years of age, wearing high-tech clothes, holding an army flag with the Giant Mosquito Fleetâs emblem, and continuously waving it.
The child stood on a skateboard-like childrenâs flying device, its tail spouting flames, flying alongside the road.
There were crowds along the way to welcome him, and his navigation skills were quite good, avoiding any collisions with people.
However, in front of an advertising board, the child crashed!
With a smack, the flying skateboard hit it, and the child flew up, bumping his head and forming a large lump.
If he were to fall to the ground just like that, the child would surely be seriously injured.
âHmm?
Are the Bella civilians always this disorganized?
Next time, we must manage them better!â The Tiger-Headed Monster was somewhat angry at this scene, seemingly displeased that the child would embarrass them in front of Jia Yan.
What he didnât anticipate was that Jia Yan, the Big Mosquito, would make a motion and then emit a stream of Brainwave PowerâŠ
âAh!â
The shrieking child, just before smashing into the ground, was suddenly suspended in midair.
Afterwards, he gently landed on the ground, and a faint yet melodious male voice reached his earsâŠ
âLittle friend, no more mischief, hurry home now.â
This voice was filled with a pleasant tone that was particularly soothing to the Bella species, a gentle young manâs voice.
âEh?â The little boy, who had paused his crying face, looked up in amazement at the departing massive vehicle.
âAh!
The Lord Giant Mosquito has saved a child of the Bella species.
This Lord is indeed very friendly to us Hao Tower Star people!â shouted a journalist nearby, hurrying to take a photo of the child.
Hearing his shout, other journalists and the crowd also started taking pictures of the child.
They knew that in these times, seeing a foreign dignitary was rare for the Hao Tower Alliance.
The appearance of the Giant Mosquito Fleet and its friendliness to the Hao Tower Star people was truly big news, and they didnât care from which corner of the universe the fleet emerged.
It was a foreign power, wasnât it?
Any foreign powerâs assistance to them was tremendous, and through the mediaâs promotion, even a wandering fleet could be portrayed as an international guest with significant influence.
This would cement Hao Tower Starâs international status.
Inside the enormous steel vehicle ahead, Jia Yan heard the commotion behind him and shook his head somewhat helplessly.
âLord Jia Yan, ahead lies the headquarters of our forces.
Today, to welcome you, our strongest, Lord Men Bo, is also attending the welcome meeting.â The Tiger-headed man saw Jia Yanâs actions and his fondness for Jia Yan increased even more.
Although he didnât feel much for the saved Bella race, he still believed that Jia Yanâs actions were a sign of goodwill towards their Hao Tower Star.
âThank you,â Jia Yan nodded.
After all, his visit to this planet was primarily because he couldnât refuse the other partyâs kindness, and he also genuinely wanted to see if there was a need for any of the goods he sold, since the merchandise he brought from the Chaos Starfield would just take up space on his warship otherwise.
Now that he had the opportunity to meet most of the high-level officials on this planet, it was the perfect time to take care of this matter.
As for the strongest of Hao Tower StarâŠ
âA Lord Level from the Northern Star Domain?â The glint in Jia Yanâs eyes flickered.
On the main star of Hao Tower, the very existence of the capital was an unspeakable comfort to the people of Hao Tower Star, not only because it was the seat of the Central army but also because it hosted the planetâs strongestâMen Bo was stationed there!
Men Bo was an entity at the Starry Sky Venerable Level, representing the most powerful existence in the entire Hao Tower Alliance and the top presence overseeing the entire Alliance.
For many years past, under the protection of this entity, the Hao Tower Alliance had slowly entered an era of self-regulation, and to the inhabitants of Hao Tower Star, this entity ranked as a great person.
This entity was a colossal creature about 150 meters in size, with a long horn atop its head and an extraordinary complexion.
To Jia Yan, this beingâs face would surely remind him of the legendary demons from Earthâs tales.
Thatâs right, this monster was as red as the demons of hell from Earth, but standing at 150 meters tall, it added an element of terror to its demeanor!
At that moment, Men Bo, holding a gigantic club, strode with seemingly stiff steps inside the headquarters of the Hao Tower Alliance.
âYou wake me from meditation not for the Red Tower Allianceâs attack, but for some Giant Mosquito Fleet?!
Do you know that my power is at a critical point, and I might achieve Semi-permanent Star Level with this breakthrough?
How infuriating!â the 150-meter-tall strongman bellowed angrily.
âLord, youâve been saying youâre about to break through for over two hundred years now.
When did it ever actually happen?
Although this incoming fleet isnât famous, this is our first diplomatic encounter since we declared independence.
Plus, this Giant Mosquito Fleet does have some strength; they may well gain a reputation internationally in the future, and we could use that for publicity.
Donât neglect them,â reprimanded the adjutant beside him, seemingly unfazed by Men Boâs fierce temperament and speaking quite bluntly.
âNo, Iâm truly at a critical point for a breakthrough this time.
This fellow interrupted me, and I want to test him later, roar!â Although Men Bo continued to growl with indignation, he obediently began to dress in the garments suitable for welcoming distinguished guests.
âBy the way, has there been any movement from the Red Tower Allianceâs army?
They claim we have a history as their territory just because our names differ by one letter and aim to engulf our Hao Tower Alliance, hmph!â
âLord, thereâs still no movement from the Red Tower Allianceâs large army.
They said last time that theyâd give us two years to consider, and thereâs still one year left before the deadline.
Presumably, they wonât act against us in advance, disregarding international public opinion.â
âThatâs good, hmph.
Letâs go meet this so-called Lord Jia Yan of the Giant Mosquito race!
What Giant Mosquito race; Iâve never even heard of them before.
I want to see the strength of this monster species later, hmph.â
Thud-thud-thud.
The massive, ghostly monster took large strides towards the conference hall at the Hao Tower headquarters.
Meanwhile, the enormous vehicle had just arrived.
Jia Yan stepped off with the Tiger-Headed Monster and was immediately filled with amazement.
The military might of Hao Tower Star was now unfolding before him.
It turned out that the spot where he disembarked was precisely the docking station for the headquartersâ warships.
He had wondered why this planet needed tens of millions of soldiers, and now he finally understood!
On the grounds of the headquarters, over two thousand battleships were lined up neatly on the ground, while the port above seemed rather spacious, indicating it could accommodate far more than just two thousand warships.
Jia Yan, looking at the number of battleships in this place, was surprised not only by the quantity but also by the quality.
He knew that among his own warships, except for the better Rong Bo warship he had captured later, those he got from the Desolate Star System were almost like oversized toys.
But these warships were showing him what true group warships were!
Among them, there were over a hundred one-kilometer class super-large warships, plus seven hundred of eight hundred-meter class, and over a thousand of six hundred-meter class.
Turned out that Jia Yanâs main force of 500-meter class warships was merely the weakest link in this fleet!
âLord, this represents just a part of our military strength, with over ten thousand active duty warships in the Alliance.
Besides, the reserves throughout the planet and subsequent warship production lines are ready to start at any time.
Once the war breaks out, our combat power can be increased by countless multiples!â The Tiger-Headed Monster explained proudly beside Jia Yan.
âThis is why we can hold our ground against several Alliance pressures with a mere population of two hundred million.â
âImpressive!â Jia Yan exclaimed as he followed the Tiger-Headed Monster down from the steel giant.
And just as he had stepped off the vehicle, he suddenly felt an intense sense of imminent danger spreading throughout his body!
âSo, youâre Jia Yan, huh?
Take this strike from me!â
