Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: Lan Xuanyu’s Response
Zhong Zhichang’s smile was because the Celestial Harmony Tribe truly surprised him more and more. This strategy devised by the Tianhe Emperor and the Tianhe Prime Minister in such a short time was enough to astonish and shock him. Indeed, they were worthy of reaching where they were today, threatening the dominance of the Dragon Clan and Sky Horse Clan!
At this moment, the outer layer of the Celestial Harmony Guard was filled with creatures from the Scarlet Domain. These Scarlet Domain creatures attempted to gnaw and destroy the Celestial Harmony Guard but simply couldn’t do it. They couldn’t absorb the energy of the Celestial Harmony Guard either. The energy was completely enclosed, and aside from violent destruction, it seemed impossible to destroy through any other means.
In the Scarlet Domain, there were already Super God-level powerhouses appearing, yet the result was no different. Even when the Black Emperor made a move, he could only cause ripples of light on the surface of the Celestial Harmony Guard.
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister had already ordered all combat personnel to replenish and rest near their positions to prepare for the next phase of battle.
All planetary orbital guns had ceased firing; since they couldn’t truly destroy the Scarlet Domain’s creatures and they seemed to have immortal characteristics, they decided not to engage them in battle. Just block them outside; what could they do?
The Celestial Harmony Tribe had adopted a stance of holding out and waiting for reinforcements, with no intention of continuing the fight.
Moreover, Zhong Zhichang discovered another problem. They had been transmitting messages outward, but now they couldn’t anymore. Since the appearance of the Celestial Harmony Guard, even his divine consciousness was blocked, and previously transmitted messages and images were all sealed off. This meant that Lan Xuanyu’s cosmic fleet had suddenly become blind, unable to see the battlefield situation here.
As for whether the Celestial Harmony Tribe could send messages outward, he didn’t know. But at least now, their Dragon Knights couldn’t transmit messages outward. And at this time, he couldn’t turn against the Celestial Harmony Tribe.
This countermeasure was undeniably making Zhong Zhichang feel helpless.
Dragon Horse Federation Fleet.
When the screen suddenly turned black in front of them, Lan Xuanyu’s brow instantly furrowed, and the generals of the Blue Sea Tribe, who had been closely monitoring the battlefield, were all amazed.
“What happened? Why did the communication break?” They could no longer see the situation on the battlefield.
“Quiet,” Lan Xuanyu said in a deep voice.
The surroundings immediately fell into silence. Lan Bo came to Lan Xuanyu’s side, his face already showing signs of worry.
When Lan Xuanyu became the temporary commander of this fleet, there was immense excitement from Lan Bo. Judging from his willingness to actively command the Blue Sea Tribe’s army, it was evident that the Golden Dragon Princess had a good relationship with the Blue Sea Tribe. They certainly hoped Lan Xuanyu would become stronger and assume a higher position within the Dragon Clan.
However, the situation before them filled him with worry; unable to see the battlefield scene, what should the fleet do next?
This fleet carried elite forces from two strong combat races! If they were unable to play a significant role in this war, or worse, suffer heavy losses, the blow to Lan Xuanyu would be devastating. Even if “she” was among the high ranks of the Dragon Clan, it would still be the same. Such responsibility was formidable, even for Dragon Knights, let alone when she wasn’t a bona fide Dragon Knight yet.
But at this time, he couldn’t rashly interrupt Lan Xuanyu and had to wait for her orders.
Lan Xuanyu slightly narrowed his eyes, continuously replaying scenes that appeared in his mind before the screen went black.
The first change came from the Scarlet Domain, clearly indicating a stronger level of attack. This was somehow related to a batch of transport ships arriving from the Celestial Harmony Tribe. It seemed that the Scarlet Domain was sensing resupply on Celestial Harmony Star and thus intended to intensify the attack, while the Celestial Harmony Tribe responded by sending slender beams of light soaring into the sky densely. The next moment, the screen was cut off.
The information he had discerned on this front came to an abrupt halt here.
What did these images mean? Lan Xuanyu pondered rapidly, making judgments.
The first thing he needed to determine was whether the image broke due to the Scarlet Domain or because of Celestial Harmony Star’s defense. These two possibilities were entirely different and would dictate his speed of support.
“Get the Eight-Armed Demon God King, Mantis King, Moke Dragon Knight, and Sky Horse Knight in contact for me; I want to have a meeting,” Lan Xuanyu quickly said.
Although he was the commander, the tribal fleets truly followed the orders of their tribal leaders. He needed to align their thoughts before proceeding with future actions.
Screens quickly appeared one by one, showcasing the Eight-Armed Demon God King, Mantis King, this mission’s leading Sky Horse Knight, and Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan from the Dragon Clan.
Luo Lan, needless to say, was absolutely on his side. The ones he needed to persuade were the remaining three.
“Greetings, seniors. I am Lan!” Lan Xuanyu first slightly nodded in greeting.
The Eight-Armed Demon God King asked, “What’s going on? Why did the screen from that side suddenly cut off?” Naturally, Lan Xuanyu’s connection had also cut off on their side.
Lan Xuanyu replied, “There’s a situation up front, so currently, we’re unable to see the front line conditions. I want to report my judgment to the seniors and decide on our next action.”
Luo Lan said, “Go ahead. You are the commander now.” His support was evident here.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Based on the conditions at the front line over the past two days, we can make several judgments. Firstly, about Celestial Harmony Star’s strength. Despite facing such powerful pressure from the Scarlet Domain abruptly, Celestial Harmony Star has proceeded methodically, suffering minimal damage. The populace could be evacuated to non-combat zones in time, demonstrating orderly management. This showcased the strength and foundation of the Celestial Harmony Tribe. The Tianhe Wizard played a significant role in battles too. This means the Celestial Harmony Tribe can still temporarily withstand the Scarlet Domain’s attacks.”
“Secondly, is the judgment concerning the Scarlet Domain. The strength demonstrated by the Scarlet Domain so far doesn’t match our previous predictions. But truly, aren’t they that strong? Several strong figures sent by the Scarlet Domain were repelled by the Second Seat leading the Dragon Knights, but that’s definitely not their full power. It’s apparent that the Scarlet Domain is holding back, likely quite significantly. So, why are they doing this?”
“My preliminary judgment at the moment is that they’re focusing on encircling and intercepting reinforcements.” Lan Xuanyu said solemnly.
Mantis King curiously asked, “What do you mean by encircling and intercepting reinforcements?”
Lan Xuanyu explained in a deep voice, “It involves besieging a target that must be aided by opponents, without urgently destroying it, but continuously attacking each arriving reinforcement. This way, they heavily damage the opponents’ viable strength. For the Scarlet Domain, this scenario is very likely. The Scarlet Domain evolves by devouring, and our tribal strong figures are naturally targets for their devour. When our support troops keep arriving, they only need to intercept effectively in space, weakening, and consuming us. The Celestial Harmony Star’s situation doesn’t need immediate destruction. At least until new developments occur, the Scarlet Domain’s current situation is very much like encircling to intercept reinforcements, surrounding Celestial Harmony Star, waiting for various federation parties to come for support, and subsequently devouring the support troops one by one.”
The Eight-Armed Demon God King asked, “There is this possibility. So, what’s your plan? What’s happening with this sudden blackout?”
Lan Xuanyu resolutely stated, “Currently unable to see front line conditions, based on my judgment, the blackout is likely not due to the Scarlet Domain but Celestial Harmony Star’s doing. Right before the screen went black, the Scarlet Domain clearly intended to intensify an attack while Celestial Harmony Star released some kind of special energy that we hadn’t seen before, covering the entire planet. This energy was directed upward into the sky.”
