Chapter 446 (2/2)

Hao Ren shook his head as he said, “Impossible. I’ve let the MDT record the data each time it passed through the protal, the connection between each bubble is very confusing. Following the existing routes to leave the bubble zone is the safest way to go. Creating another teleporting gateway is dangerous and unpredictable.”

While they were having discussion, a blue light suddenly flashed next to the table and the MDT emerged from it. “Hey, what Lanina mentioned is just a small problem. The Petrachelys can read the connection pattern of the portal, and expand it into a larger one—hundreds of kilometers, it shouldn’t be a problem. But for stability’s sake, this ‘hyperlink extension’ must be carried out in the vicinity of a natural portal. And that is after we deal with the hostile interception en route.”

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. “What? There’s such a feature in my spacecraft?”

The MDT knocked Hao Ren’s head and said, “So what did you usually read in the textbook?”

Hao Ren grabbed the MDT and knocked it against the the table twice to quiet it down. “Well, it seems we’ve solved the problem of the gateway. What’s left is for Raven to open a gateway at the border of bubble zone, and find a way to tow Helcrown and the spacecraft to the border. Wang, don’t you have anti-gravity magic? How long does it take to cover the entire wreckage with anti-gravitational array?”

Y’zaks shrugged and said, “Forget it. It’s like making the entire mountain range to float in the air which we don’t possess this kind of technology yet. In addition, even if it floats we’ve another problem to deal with— do you think the garrison at the portals would let us pass through just like that? Helcrown has only enough firepower for self-defensive, your spaceship’s firepower isn’t suitable for the job. That leaves the rest of us have to deal with the millions of hostile enemies, and the best case scenario would be die a martyr’s death.”

Hao Ren scratched his chin in thought. He knew exactly what he needed now: a large-scale transport equipment which didn’t necessarily have to be of advanced technology but must ensure that the hundred-kilometre wreckage could be hauled to the portal, and an escort team to deal with all the troops in this world.

He thought of Kabala and 883, the little green men, and the private armed caravans who all could fit the job, but they all cost money, especially Fairy Void Consortium, the gang of notoriously vindictive profiteers.

A group of long-eared figure suddenly crossed his mind.

“I’ve got an idea!” Hao Ren clapped his hands and said, “I have hundreds of millions of male lions…”

Using her hand to touch Hao Ren’s forehead, Vivian said, “Are you having too much stress? Don’t worry, we will solve the problem together, don’t stretch yourself too hard.”

Half-cryingly and half-laughingly, Hao Ren took Vivian’s hand off him. “I’m serious—I indeed have hundreds of millions of male lions. Though Aerymian elven technology isn’t that advanced, their fleet of spacecrafts is formidable! You think how many Y’zaks do you have in this world?”

A glow suddenly appeared in Y’zaks eyes, then there was a sense of worry in his face. “Would Goddess even allow it? Would it be seen as dragging yourself into the war? If Aerymian elves and the locals here were to go to war, that would be unimaginably horrible.”

Hao Ren took out a workbook from the dimensinal pocket with a wry smile on his face. “The wreckage has been classified as a major research sample, inspector who was in-charge of the shipment of such cargo is entitled to an armed escort. It’s not a troop, just security guard! Don’t forget that Aerymian elves are under my custody, I can issue them a private army permit.”

Then Hao Ren waved to his men. “Prepare to take off, I’m going back and will return with my armed escorts!”

Lily looked at Hao Ren dumbfoundedly, and murmured, “Landlord has gone mad… WOOF WOOF.”
