Chapter 1442: Chapter 4: Return to the Orion Arm! [Request for official subscription]
Large groups of soldiers from various species respectfully awaited on the base star.
Some of the new Earthling soldiers started filming videos, as such scenes of all races paying homage served as an invisible boost of confidence for Earth people.
âLord Jia Yan, our 3812 base welcomes you.â
A nearly hundred-meter-tall monster soared up, respectfully addressing Jia Yan and others outside the battleship.
Jia Yan, leading a few new Earthling soldiers, didnât show off his strength but took a craft to the base.
At this base, the welcoming was the same, even grander in scale.
However, Jia Yan wasnât particularly excited about such scenes, behaving as a top-level strong one should, while the few new Earthling soldiers felt extremely uplifted by the respectful treatment they received.
Here too, there were five new Earthling soldiers, who were very surprised when they saw Jia Yan.
Like the previous new soldiers, they originally thought Earth people were like frogs at the bottom of a well, and even the Jia Yan they worshipped might just be an ordinary Respectful One in the Orion Arm. Though being an ordinary Respectful One would be strong enough, it wouldnât entitle them to any special treatment.
After all, under the mobilization of the Great Empire, hundreds of Respectful Ones had been gathered, and there would be more in the future.
Yet, unexpectedly, Lord Jia Yan personally came to this defense line and was still the most fearsome and respected strong one among billions of extra-terrestrial beings!
How could this not shock these new soldiers who thought they had seen the world?
Jia Yan didnât care about their shock; he just focused on doing what he could do best.
âAlright, Iâll send you back to Earth. Itâs too dangerous here. You are geniuses among Earth people and are destined to be pillars in the future. You canât just die here carelessly.â
When fifteen new soldiers were gathered, and all stated there were no others left, Jia Yan assembled them together.
Upon hearing they could go home, the young ones who had a hard time living at the defense line for months were as joyful as celebrating a holiday.
âLord Jia Yan, when we leave, what about you?â That tall young man, perhaps quite bold or thinking he was familiar with Jia Yan, dared to speak to Jia Yan actively.
âI will send you little guys back and then return. If the problems here arenât addressed, there will inevitably be a day it affects us Earth people,â Jia Yan sighed deeply.
The young soldiers looked at Jia Yanâs sigh, and their expressions changed slightly.
They could hear the gravity in Jia Yanâs tone.
You have to know, whether on Earth or the defense line of billions of species, Lord Jia Yan is the strongest, yet he is worried about this defense line, or monsters from the extraterrestrial domain behind it?
What exactly are the enemies?
The soldiers didnât ask, since they knew their status was too low. Asking wouldnât make Jia Yan divulge anything, and even if he did, how could they help?
âLord Jia Yan, we sincerely thank you for the information you provided. On behalf of the Great Empire, we extend our heartfelt gratitude.â
Inside a super-fast gravitational wave battleship, Jia Yan conversed with that Sphinx-like creature.
The otherâs demeanor had changed again upon seeing Jia Yan.
You have to know, during their meeting on Earth, the creature thought even if Jia Yan couldnât be defeated, their powers were close. It was only to give Jia Yan face that the creature granted him the title of âSupreme Existence.â
What they didnât expect was that Jia Yanâs actions at the Kawai Defense Line showed that they might have underestimated the Earth Guardian.
If they had fought that day on Earth, the creature wasnât even sure they could retreat unharmed.
So now, in further contact with Jia Yan, the creature held more respect for him and even valued Earth civilization more, subtly comparing it favorably to the Great Empire civilization.
After all, with a strong one like Jia Yan, even if Earth peopleâs tech and strength are low, no Empire around them would dare wrong them due to Jia Yanâs might and influence. Even the Great Empire respects Jia Yan, so Earthâs status rises naturally.
âItâs nothing, Your Excellency Lion King. Did we not make an alliance long ago? However, your defense line leader mentioned sending a few young Earthlings some battleships to play with. What do you think?â
Jia Yan smiled and asked directly.
âOf course, itâs just that I wonder if a few battleships would be enough for them. If not, we can give them twice as many,â the other replied with a smile.
As long as Jia Yan asks for something, then at least temporarily the relationship between the Great Empire and Earth civilization will not be poor. Moreover, heâs not worried about what giving these things to Earth people might lead to.
After all, the overall civilization level of Earth people is vastly different from that of the Great Empire. Even if the Great Empire starts helping Earth people build new civilization technology with all their resources, there are still bottlenecks such as population, technology, industry, and so on. This means that even if Earth civilization progresses smoothly, it would take at least a few thousand years to catch up with a powerful empire civilization. Catching up with the Great Empire would take even longer, and by then, who knows what the situation will be?
Therefore, he is not afraid of giving away things, as long as Jia Yan is happy because having this seemingly unfathomable strong ally would mean the Great Empire will have a reliable ally when facing the upcoming external threats.
Jia Yan of course understands the other partyâs mindset, but his intention is indeed to deal with external threats, otherwise Earth and his family might also face threats from the Biochemical Star Region.
âThe information I got from the outer strong one is just that, regarding the Biochemical Star Region, I donât know much. Do you have any related information?â Jia Yan asked the other party.
âIâm sorry, our Orion Arm has been isolated from the outside world for not just a day or two. In fact, before the Biochemical Empire was exposed, we even thought there was no life outside the Orion Arm, so I canât answer your question.â
The Lion-bodied Monster shook its head with a wry smile.
Jia Yan was not too disappointed because he had long observed the isolation of the Orion Arm.
The barrier not only isolated strong ones from the outside but also creatures in the Orion Arm couldnât pass through by ordinary means. Even those who occasionally go out can never come back. This is the reason for the Orion Armâs isolation from the extraterrestrial domain.
After cutting off communications with the Sphinx-like Creature, Jia Yan contemplated the matter of this battle in the Orion Arm.
âPreviously, I learned a piece of information that I didnât tell them, which is that the Monster said the invading Biochemical Star Region is a large star field spanning several thousand light-years, with numerous forces, and only one of them came to invade us.â
Jia Yan pondered in his heart.
From the captured monster, it was known that the Biochemical Star Region, unlike the Biochemical Empire that previously infiltrated the Orion Arm, actually seems like a loose alliance but extremely powerful.
And this timeâs invasion of the Orion Arm is just a very small part of the alliance.
âBut I canât underestimate this small force. It still has Stellar-class presences, just that the other side might not come to the Orion Arm to fight personally. But anything can happen, and the frightening part is that even though the Biochemical Star Region seems loose, they can also unite. That monster once said that in a war facing the invasion of another great star field empire years ago, the entire Biochemical Star Region united as one, even reversing the situation to devour more than half of that great star field empireâs territory. This is their potential in war.â
Jia Yan recalled much of the intelligence that monster provided, then shook his head.
He was lamenting the enemyâs strength when his true body suddenly detected a situation.
âLord Jia Yan, I have already researched the sling device you mentioned. Indeed, it can be achieved even in this Genius Battlefield, but some materials are really hard to find. I see that with my own personal capacity, itâs impossible to gather them all.â
The true body of Jia Yan, in the environment of roaming in the Universe Starry Sky, could receive signals from the outside.
This communication naturally came from Xi Bala.
âYou can actually achieve it? Regarding the material issue, if you have time, go to my secret base in a Dark Realm, where perhaps there might be a way to help you somewhat. Iâll send your information there, and you can proceed.â
Upon hearing the other partyâs words, Jia Yanâs expression revealed slight joy.
Jia Yan was somewhat worried about the battle in the Orion Arm, so upon hearing Xi Bala casually mention the sling device, which indeed can be made, he was overjoyed.
âIf this sling device is as Xi Bala said, even better than that of the Country of Taia, then I might have a chance in a situation where the war becomes irretrievableâŠâ
âTrue body returns to the Orion Arm!â
Thinking of this, the Giant Mosquito body of Jia Yan emitted a faint glimmer of elation.
âXi Bala, thank you, you and the Liqiao Force behind you have earned my friendship. In the future, should anything arise, I will not forget you.â
Jia Yan expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Xi Bala who had contributed significantly.
âHaha, Lord Jia Yan, what are you saying? It is my honor to create legends together with you.â
The hearty laughter of Xi Bala could be heard, making Jia Yan smile slightly as well.
After closing the communication, Jia Yan observed the situation of his true body.
âThe strength is steadily improving, and the feeling for Battle Armor has also further enhanced. The substance Xi Bala gave last time has greatly boosted the combat power of this Battle Armor, and even I donât know to what extent my strength reaches when wearing it.â
âThe only thing I can understand is that even now my strength cannot fully utilize the full combat power of this Battle Armor. Yet, I presume that after some time, my combat power will increase further.â
