Chapter 31 (2/2)
Di Fu slightly frowned, “Boss, on the meeting a month ago, I already analyzed the situation, did you forget this quickly?”
Lucas scratched the back of his head and carelessly said, “I forgot, but that’s why I have you right? Why can’t we just attack Earth?”
Di Fu actually disliked Lucas’s careless character, but he was a smart guy and obviously wouldn’t display his true emotions. He only responded sincerely, “9 years ago, the Earth esper Ke Lake won a huge spot at the Galactic Meet. After the event was over, Earth got a Space Fortress ranked battle cruiser as a reward.”
“Now that 9 years have passed, I believe that Earth is potent enough to command the cruiser to quickly join battles. The strongest class of battleship in Thorn Bird is your Eris Ranked Destroyer. Although we have a lot more battleships than Earth, but without such a large ranked battleship still puts us at a disadvantage, and in a battle of assault and fortify we might not be able to win.”
“Secondly, although the rumor says that Ke Lake went missing right after the Galactic Meet, we still can’t rule out the possibility that it’s not Earth’s tactic of deception. The Space Fortress ranked battle cruiser and a five-star esper Ke Lake, these are Earth’s only two cards in their hand, but they pose a large threat to us.”
“Third of all, we sent Duo Ear to raid Earth before, it was a business but it was also our initial assessment of the strength of Earth’s power. The result was the complete annihilation of Duo Ear. The espers on Earth are very courageous and united which was beyond our expectation, and they actually killed Duo Ear before the military arrived. In conclusion, I strongly disagree going head to head with the United Government of Earth. Regardless of how weak they are, they are still a country.”
Lucas nodded slightly. Actually he didn’t like Di Fu’s style either. He doesn’t play with women, doesn’t drink, and doesn’t gamble. Nothing about Di Fu looked like a robber. But he knew, Di Fu’s intelligence was essential to Thorn Bird.
“Counsellor, what do you think we should do?” Lucas asked.
“Very simple, hit and run. According to our intelligence, the guy responsible for discovering and conquering the Extinction Domain is called Li Yu, a 4 star ranked esper. As well, there are about 10 to 20 three star espers. They must be the core strength of Earth’s Extinction Site Administration. “
Lucas scratched his chin and said, “But our client wants the extinction domain. If we destroy it, our client will be unhappy.”
“That’s no problem. There are 4 extinction domains on Earth, 2 D class, 1 C class, and 1 B class. Up until now, Earth has already explored the two D class but they weren’t able to provide too much income, but B class is too difficult for Earth at their current state to explore by themselves.”
“So the only obstacle is that soon-to-be-explored C class extinction domain. If we destroy it, then we will have destroyed Earth’s hope to get back on its feet. And by the end of next year’s Galactic Meet, if Ke Lake really went missing, then our client can take over Earth without using a single soldier.”
“What our client really wants is the B class one, how can they not be happy if we destroyed a C class so they can get a B class? That’s why, for us, the fastest and most efficient solution is to destroy the C class extinction domain. “
“We will sent Pan Gongjin on the Reaper class frigate to execute the plan, use an energy field to completely seal the entrance to the extinction domain so that the enemy can’t send any reinforcements. Then let Nan Gongjin lead a troop to rush into the domain, plant the bomb and quickly retreat, completely blowing up the site and all the espers inside!”
“From start to end, we only need 3 minutes to finish the battle, and we can avoid facing their battle cruiser that way too.”
Lucas actually didn’t care about how many of his guys died, but it’s obviously better if the job can be done without any sacrifices.
“Good, then this task will be assigned to Pan Gongjin and those guys to finish. There will be large rewards after that job gets done!”
