Chapter 769: Chapter 399: Plans Can’t Keep Up with Changes_2
The atmosphere in the arena was silent, shrouded in shadows, making it difficult to discern each person’s reactions.
The Navigator continued: “So, we can now start discussing how we should deal with this matter.”
“There are still a few key issues unresolved,” added the Fallen Blood, “Why is he doing this? And what thod is he planning to use to accomplish it?”
Blackbeard spoke up, “We haven’t investigated this thoroughly yet, they’re using warriors secretly cultivated by the Yitelan, and we can’t get involved.”
“The current known information basically ca from my own investigation.”
“Does Lord Azure Dragon have anything to add?” the Fallen Blood asked, and Blackbeard was also quite curious; this matter was initially proposed by Azure Dragon, there should be deeper information, right?
“I only know they’re using sothing akin to biological technology, which can kill all life forms on an entire planet in a short period of ti,” Li Ming simply stated, without revealing Levinbeck’s existence.
He felt this news was crucial and shouldn’t be disclosed for free.
Biological technology? Everyone had different thoughts.
After a pause, he continued, “As for the specifics, I’m not quite sure.”
The Navigator remained indifferent, and then turned to Blackbeard: “Continue investigating this matter; if necessary, you may capture a few core mbers of the Yitelan.”
“Understood,” Blackbeard agreed. In fact, he had already captured so, but none of them knew anything; only a few scattered people held the knowledge.
The Navigator said solemnly, “The plan’s preliminary na is ‘Hunting King’; we need to consider how to inflict maximum damage to the Empire.”
“However, we can first set the highest goal of forcing the Empire to remove Ryan’s princely position.”
The Empire currently has nine princes in total, but five of them have nearly disappeared from public view, and outsiders speculate that they are already in the final stages of their lifespan.
There are only four active princes; forcing the Empire to withdraw this position would be equivalent to slapping themselves.
But this is just the highest target, very difficult to achieve, and requires not only external public opinion pressure but also internal uproar, with high-level cooperation needed.
After speaking, the Navigator asked, “Lord Azure Dragon, what do you think?”
Li Ming replied calmly, “I have no objections.”
Blackbeard was muttering in his heart, glancing at Azure Dragon, as expected, the Navigator is still leading.
If Azure Dragon completes the ‘Hunting King’ plan, his prestige among the Pioneers wouldn’t just rise.
Does Azure Dragon not resist? After all, this whole thing was initiated by him.
Blackbeard muttered, could not help but speak:
“When shall we convene a conference? For such a major issue, coordination from all sides is required.”
“This plan is far more devastating than any of our previous plans; notify the others at the final stage,” said the Navigator.
Li Ming, who had been silent, subtly noted, these guys are ruthless.
Blackbeard was puzzled, “If we don’t notify others, I fear I won’t be able to stop it alone…”
Half-speaking, he abruptly halted, a chill creeping in.
He realized the most contradictory point of the entire plan: how to ascertain the authenticity of the blood sacrifice.
If they prevented the blood sacrifice from occurring early, even if they presented ironclad evidence, it would be useless. The Empire could simply ignore it.
Because if it hadn’t happened, no one would pay attention.
The Empire wouldn’t even need to speak, as countless loyalists would defend them in public discourse.
So, to reach the highest target set, they must allow the event to occur first. Only when horrifying news swept across the interstellar community could it garner attention.
Blackbeard wasn’t soft-hearted, but upon realizing this point, his heart couldn’t help but chill, Star Ring level massacre!
“If not stopped, should Ryan reach his goal, the final outco could be dire,” Li Ming suddenly interjected.
“It’s not about not stopping,” explained the Fallen Blood, “Just make sure he doesn’t succeed completely. Even ten percent, twenty percent of the blood sacrifice would suffice; having irrefutable facts is necessary to corroborate our claims and achieve the target.”
The Navigator added: “Of course, to perfectly control this point, we must know their specific action plan and process; that relies on Blackbeard.”
He spoke calmly, “Lord Azure Dragon, don’t be hasty.”
Realizing he couldn’t alter this decision, Li Ming ceased speaking.
Blackbeard sighed inwardly, thinking Azure Dragon had already been accepted by the Navigator and others; it seems he remains on high alert.
Awareness returned, the scene before him gradually clear, Li Ming’s eyes squinted.
“Don’t be hasty?”
This contradicted his thoughts; was the primary goal now to wound the Empire?
Don’t be ridiculous; what benefit does that have for him.
What he currently needs is strength, both soft power and hard power, the strength to counter all obstacles.
Thus, he aims to beco an S-Class life form, with the Swallowing Star Prison Dragon within reach, cooperating with the Pioneers’ plan, it was uncertain how long he should wait.
With any eventual change, everything remains ambiguous.
Given his current developnt progress, if he obtains the Swallowing Star Prison Dragon, handing it to Night Moon Biological Company, according to modulation speed, it should be ready to use smoothly when his developnt hits 100%. No waiting necessary.
Originally, he planned to leverage the power of the Pioneers; the energy level of the Swallowing Star Prison Dragon cannot be underestimated, estimated to be 3, 4 tis the level, being a top variant Star Beast after all.
And with the mysterious Levinbeck involved, taking action alone might not stabilize things.
But now the Pioneers have decisively decided to wait it out, leaving him to adapt his original plan.
“If I could control the Infinite Hamr now, the likelihood would be much higher.” Li Ming pondered, feeling sowhat frustrated.
Twenty billion tal energy isn’t a small figure to him now.
“Taking action must be flawless.” Li Ming estimated.
After a while, Feder knocked on his door, poking his head inside, “Did you call for ?”
Once Feder entered, Li Ming said, “Contact Asimara and, during the upcoming period, provide real-ti sharing of Ryan’s subordinate positions, especially that peculiar individual’s location.”
“Could it be…” Feder’s eyes narrowed slightly, sowhat excited, “I understand.”
“There’s one more thing, in your Yitelan Civilization, are there any valuable tal materials in stock?” Li Ming asked naturally.
“tal materials?” It was like Feder’s mory was triggered, his eyes slightly vacant, rembering Li Ming’s past penchant for collecting tal materials.
Since then, Azure Dragon erged, and many realized it was that big shot behind the scenes.
“Hmm…” Feder frowned, “As for precious tal materials, we don’t have much in stock; most used for manufacturing warship weapons are ordinary tal materials.”
Manufacturing more advanced weapons requires more than just tal materials; they don’t automatically multiply upon purchase; generally, in cases of demand, one would purchase specific quantities of advanced tal materials.
“However…” Feder’s tone shifted, “It’s warti now, Asimara holds substantial sway, perhaps we could allocate a small portion of funds for special purchases.”
“How much do you need?” He inquired actively.
“Oh?” Li Ming’s interest piqued, “How long for a hundred billion Star Coins?”
“A hundred billion?” Feder’s mouth twitched, face showing hesitation, unable to speak.
“How about fifty billion?” Li Ming also knew he was asking too much. After all, Yitelan wasn’t solely ruled by Asimara.
Feder swallowed and said, “That level of funding isn’t minor; first, we must forge bills, then submit them for financial departnt approval, initially likely rejected; afterward, Asimara would firmly demand it, pulling back and forth before they agree.”
“Once approved, a currency exchange check with the interstellar bank is required, then converted to Star Coins, then purchase, taking as little as three months… up to half a year.”
Advanced civilizations have their own currencies mainly because even though their currency isn’t as strong as Star Coins.
But in key monts, they can secretly print more; dostic circulation remains manageable and isn’t easily exploited by even more advanced civilizations.
