Chapter 1184: Chapter 607: Twist After Twist After Twist
"Your boldness is beyond my expectations."
Gutierrez couldnât help but sigh; if it were him, he would never have been so straightforward.
Seeing Malcolmâs nearly twisted expression next to him, it was clear how displeased he was.
However, Gutierrez also felt somewhat doubtful, "Did you do this solely for Li Ming?"
He felt it wasnât worth it, even though Li Mingâs future was indeed worth paying attention to.
But it was only theoretical because their means of control could govern the body and life and death, yet couldnât grasp the psyche.
Although everyone was quite covetous of this young fellow, once truly in hand, could they truly feel at ease nurturing him?
No one knew how deep his feelings for the Azure Dragon truly were; he had to undergo numerous tests, and if his memory review failed, heâd be put on ice or even dissected, essentially wasted.
"Not just for that..." Adam didnât directly answer the question and said, "The Azure Dragonâs plan has already become apparent; he canât resist Kashmirâs Spear, so he simply moved it away."
"Given the strength the Azure Dragon has displayed, if thereâs no balance from Kashmirâs Spear, almost no one among the remaining X Level Life Forms on site is his match."
"However..." he continued, "the number is not small, and he cannot easily resolve it."
"So, I estimate we might see Lord Azure Dragonâs true form, which will be a rare opportunity."
"Perhaps we can solve this trouble once and for all."
What Adam said made sense; he had insight into the Azure Dragonâs plan and quickly countered.
Malcolm had already calmed down by now, expressionless; the matter already happened, and anger was useless,
However, Adamâs explanation also couldnât convince him, after all, it was merely speculation.
This was the Azure Dragonâs original plan; seeing things arenât right, wouldnât he change the plan?
Coupled with Adamâs series of abnormal behaviors before, Malcolm was certain there was some hidden story behind this.
But Gutierrez was in quite a good mood, even clapping repeatedly, "No wonder youâre the Holy Emperor who has ruled the Empire for thousands of years."
His eyes revealed some admiration, but he suddenly changed the topic, "However, although I appreciate you sharing this secret selflessly with me, Li Mingâs affiliation should be discussed last."
Admiration aside, he couldnât give in on interests.
Malcolm sneered, Adamâs face slightly darkened, merely urging, "Quickly order Shepherd to withdraw."
Gutierrez nodded, reaching out to touch the smart terminal at the last moment, but paused, hesitating, "Is this information true? You two arenât teaming up to deceive me, are you?"
"Hahaha..." Malcolm burst into loud laughter, laced with ridicule towards Adam.
Adamâs face grew darker, Gutierrez shrugged, "Donât be angry, weâve all dealt with each other for so many years; a little caution is nothing."
He was merely testing; their reactions made it clear this wasnât fake.
Moreover, this secret couldnât generally be fabricated.
......
The retreat movement of the Star Allianceâs fleet caused quite a stir.
Not only were interstellar media chasing and filming, but commanders of the Empire and Federation were also confused, contacting superiors to inquire what was happening.
In Anduinâs palace, everyone looked bewildered, still somewhat unresponsive.
Sven raised his gaze listlessly, was this childâs play, leaving just like that?
"Lord Gaius, why did the Star Alliance retreat?" the Empireâs High-level Life Form asked softly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
They were all smart people; the only factor that could lead to such a change was the Azure Dragon.
Some peoplesâ eyes surveyed Anduin and othersâ faces, aiming to confirm their guesses.
However, they found Anduin and Sheffield equally puzzled, seeming unaware of the situation.
The two no longer dared to make reckless speculations; Sheffield remembered his recent expression of looking up, even wanting to slap himself.
"Entering simultaneous warp state," the Federation people whispered.
In Starfield, the Star Allianceâs fleet of millions, under unified intelligent guidance, simultaneously flared ghostly blue tail flames.
Each cluster of engine-glowing radiance was tearing silver-white ripples in the vacuum, synchronously warping, gradually stretching into thin lines.
The flashes connected into a sheet, as if the fleet was a flowing metallic river, magnificent and majestic.
However, due to the sheer number, even entering warp status required some time to leave.
"Theyâre really leaving."
Warp status isnât a propulsion status; a second of flight covers a vast distance, returning isnât something quick.
Gaiusâs face was tense; he still hadnât received any notice, merely instructed to stabilize the scene.
Finally, a smile appeared on Anduinâs face; he didnât know what method the Azure Dragon used, but once the Star Alliance left, the coalitionâs strength would be greatly weakened.
Not just because of those ten X Level Life Forms, but mainly because of Kashmirâs Spear.
Being targeted by that thing was indeed terrifying.
The remaining X Level Life Forms recognized this point; without Kashmirâs Spear, how could they play with the Azure Dragon?
For a moment, everyone felt a bit uneasy.
"I ask all esteemed individuals not to perform any sensitive actions or have any other thoughts right now," Gaius astutely perceived this, immediately stating sternly:
"Once fighting starts, the presence here wonât give you the chance to explain."
