Chapter 733: Confluence
Once Zeus-1’s wheels were safely on the tar, the Wine Master and the Clock, but not small Of course they weren’t there to welcome Lan Jue, he knew They were there for Jue Di
Lan Jue walked forward quickly and with a pleasant smile “Wine Master! It’s been a while!”
The Wine Master stared back at hiht past Lan Jue and bowed before Jue Di “Your Majesty, we’re sorry for troubling you”
Jue Di waved hi after hting starts”
“Indeed, we already have so for you, I’ll take you there” The Wine Master rose and lead the way personally
The Pharmacist walked over to Lan Jue’s side and nodded respectfully to the Clockmaker “I’m sorry All of this was my fault I’ve caused a lot of trouble”
The Clockmaker s in disguise What is done is done Co for you”
Lan Qing walked over to Lan Jue, then He patted his brother’s shoulder and offered a nod of acknowledge, just turned and left, as cool as ever
The Clock in Lan Jue spoke “How’s the situation?”
“Unclear,” she answered with a low voice “But we think the people on those four planets…”
Lan Jue’s face darkened After so long, the chance of finding any survivors was close to zero Five percent of the total huone in a blink of the eye
The Clock They’ve turned the four planets into defensive fortresses with a huge nued to completely cut us off fro sorties but all have failed Soh to harass them, but have been repelled by the defenses The co their shi+ps in too deep for fear they’ll be trapped So, we find ourselves in a stalemate Full-on assault is our only option”
Lan Jue frowned as he thought He hadn’t anticipated their foes ht lay a trap like this If they relied on the normal aliens alone they would be no match for bastions and their fleets But, by virtue of the four planets as advance guard, no one knew the condition or actions of the alien planets themselves If the planets were not yet distracted by their evolution an attack would be dangerously premature No one could tell howto bear
“What’s the North’s plan?” Lan Jue asked
She obliged “After hearing you were on your way His Majesty the Terminator has chosen all-out assault on the eneun their evolution, now is the time Our hands are tied, but the North has faith our bastions can effectively fight back This isn’t the Starfields, its home territory and they don’t have the benefit of cover Representative forces froe Even if the planets aren’t distracted, so long as they don’t teleport ae have a chance to rout them”
Lan Jue nodded in understanding “So it is, but for soht”
“Oh? How so? Is there a problem with the information you’ve provided?” The Clockmaker asked, surprised
Lan Jue shook his head “No, the data we recovered should be rock-solid It see for us to co we’ve seen we know the ent So far they’ve had the upper hand in every encounter They must know the sort of power the Alliances plan to throw at the of the fact it seems outside of their character”
The Clockht “But the arrow’s already knocked It wouldn’t et some reliable information on the planets themselves”
Lan Jue’s voice was resolute “I want to try Can we tell the North to let us try a scouting mission? We’ll slip passed the enemy’s lines and find the planets Once we confirin the attack”
“Alright,” she answered “I’ll alert Admiral Lan He’ll have the Eastern forces let the North know”’
