Chapter 1529: Chapter 1529 Scrap Metal
Lan Xuanyu previously obtained some information from the Sky Dragon Assembly regarding the Blue Sea Tribe’s number of warships. According to the Sky Dragon Assembly, the Blue Sea Tribe possesses a battleship-class warship, as well as many powerful Meteor-Class Attack Ships, among others. It’s considered a rather good configuration.
But looking at Lan Bo’s hesitant expression, this fleet might…
Soon, Lan Xuanyu visually confirmed his ominous guess. One by one, the warships with various designs appeared before his eyes.
How to describe these warships? The first feeling is they’re a hodgepodge. Yes, none of the ten or so warships are the same. There are long ones, round ones, and even flat ones.
If this were a museum, well, a historical museum, Lan Xuanyu would be very interested in these warships. But at the moment, looking at these warships, the only feeling in his heart is, what is this junk?
No wonder Huang Daoqi said he would help ensure the warships could take off. Indeed! Can these warships take off? They haven’t flown in twenty years. Even if they can, could these pieces of junk have combat power?
Lan Xuanyu’s expression became somewhat unpleasant, and Bai Xiuxiu beside him was also dumbstruck.
They are accustomed to the grandeur and might of the human fleet, with neatly arranged formations, strong streamlined warships, a nearly invincible cosmic fleet stretching across space.
But what is this in front of them? Can this pile of junk go out to space and fight?
Lan Xuanyu has seen the Dragon Horse Federation fleet before, and the feeling was a hodgepodge back then. Now it seems, those hodgepodges were still considered decent back then, at least they had some combat power.
Now he fully understands why the Sky Dragon Leader and the Sky Horse Sect Leader need to lead the integration of the entire Dragon Horse Star System. What if they don’t integrate?
Each tribe manages their own affairs; the stronger tribes have slightly stronger warships, while the weaker tribes are assigned this discarded junk. These warships in front of them are at least a hundred years old, right? They belong more in a display museum than here.
Lan Xuanyu feels almost powerless to complain. He now finally understands why when he proposed at the Sky Dragon Assembly that he wished to command the Blue Sea Tribe, the dragon knights had no objections.
Such a military force might still have some use on the ground, but once they reach space… No, they can’t even get there!
At that time, there was also a slight sense of being wary between himself and the Sky Dragon Leader, so naturally, no one reminded him.
The vehicle navigates among the numerous warships. Battleship? Not to mention a battleship, they don’t even have a decent Meteor-Class Attack Ship.
In the vehicle behind, Huang Daoqi and his son also appeared dumbstruck. Although they were relatively well-informed about the situation within the Blue Sea Tribe Military Base, seeing these pieces of junk firsthand still left them speechless.
Can these go out to space and fight? Huang Daoqi deeply feels that his previous promise to Lan Xuanyu might be hard to fulfill. Getting this junk into space is not easy. The key is that it won’t be long before they have to gather!
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil. He didn’t lose his temper at Lan Bo because it was meaningless, and it wasn’t the Blue Sea Tribe’s fault.
After viewing the warships, Lan Xuanyu didn’t say much but instead had Lan Bo show them the situation of the Blue Sea Tribe’s army.
Surprisingly, the Blue Sea Tribe’s army had a very tidy military appearance. Compared to the warships, just by looking at this army, one can feel that it still has combat power.
The Dragon Horse Federation’s ground military forces are divided into two major categories: one is those strong combat tribes that fight directly relying on their own formidable strength. The others are groups similar to human mech forces, with the latter being relatively weaker tribes.
The Blue Sea Tribe is also equipped with something similar to mechas but compared to human mechas, it’s simply unbearable to look at…
Because their so-called mechas are Exoskeleton Armor.
What is Exoskeleton Armor? It’s outer metal skeletons, very large ones, then covered with a glass dome equivalent to a life-support system, allowing it to fight.
How are the weapons equipped? Well, they have power, similar to soul cannons, and close combat as well. But this stuff has been phased out by the Douluo Federation thousands of years ago. And for the Blue Sea Tribe, this is the main combat weapon, with as many as hundreds of thousands equipped.
Aside from the advantage of having numbers, Lan Xuanyu can’t think of what else this stuff is good for. The attack power is considerable, but the defensive power is really too poor, and it cannot engage in sustained warfare. During battle, they need to be equipped with logistics support troops specifically responsible for supplementing energy using energy chunks.
Even if the Dragon Horse Federation’s technological level is low, it shouldn’t be this bad, right? This is bullying, bullying the Blue Sea Tribe for being weak and poor. Just as those powerful tribes from the Dragon Clan said, the Blue Sea Tribe should serve the other tribes rather than participate in warfare. The Blue Sea Tribe’s persistence in maintaining its military force, who knows how difficult it has been, how much blood and tears they’ve shed. What tribe doesn’t hope to become stronger and have higher status?
And these two million troops have been selected as the cream of the crop from the Blue Sea Tribe. Among the Blue Sea Tribe, there are more females than males, and the females mostly perform servant-like tasks. This Blue Sea Tribe army is sustained by the collective strength of the entire tribe. Since they are within Fenglong City’s territory, Huang Daoqi somewhat subsidizes them every year, but it’s really just a little.
These are what Lan Xuanyu discerned because Lan Bo simply didn’t dare to speak badly of the Dragon Clan.
After a round of inspection, Lan Xuanyu generally understood the specific situation. The most speechless thing was that in the entire Blue Sea Tribe, out of the two million troops, those who can operate warships are few and far between. Or rather, there are none. They have only learned the basics theoretically, and those who have gone to space are all elderly who were there twenty years ago. Even so, those veterans that have operated warships are considered treasures of the Blue Sea Tribe.
Thorough Observation of the entire Blue Sea Tribe’s situation shows that the greatest advantage of the Blue Sea Tribe is its obedience, with absolute compliance. And the greatest disadvantage is that besides this advantage, there’s nothing else. Yes, nothing else.
Lan Xuanyu asked Lan Bo, besides him, a true god-level powerhouse, if the Blue Sea Tribe could muster eight or nine God Rank individuals. But Lan Bo subtly expressed that some seeds should be kept for the Blue Sea Tribe rather than letting all God Rank individuals take part in the battle.
After a round and returning, getting off the vehicle, Huang Daoqi father and son came forward, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Over the years, the Blue Sea Tribe had not sought their help, but who regarded the Blue Sea Tribe with importance? They didn’t believe the Blue Sea Tribe’s army could greatly assist Fenglong City, so the support given can naturally be considered negligible.
“Lan, what do you think…” Huang Daoqi tentatively asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Let’s talk after we go back.”
“Alright.”
Everyone went back to Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu’s place together, and Lan Bo naturally followed back with them.
Back at the residence, Huang Daoqi said, “I took a look just now, those warships probably can’t all take off again. I think, if some of them are remodeled, there might still be a chance.” Looking at that pile of junk, he didn’t dare to speak with certainty. Who knows if they can really fly!
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “I understand. You don’t need to worry about the warships, patriarch. How about this, patriarch, we need some weapons and equipment, as well as energy chunks and the like. I’ll trouble you to gather those. As for the warships, I’ll discuss with the Sky Dragon Assembly.”
Huang Daoqi was overjoyed upon hearing that he didn’t need to help with the warships. Not only are warships valuable, but he wouldn’t be able to provide Lan Xuanyu with brand new ones! Those old ones…
