Song Bugui could only say, “Please elaborate.” “The fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector is not a united team right now. The forces of the four parties are still minding their own business. As the commander-in-chief, you should be very clear about that, shouldn’t you?
Song Lixing said, “What’s even more hateful is that those pigs and dogs of the Yun family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family can’t stand the fact that the Song family holds the military power of the Heaven’s Return Fleet. There are a lot of criticisms in the court. Father and I have helped you block a lot of ambushes! “But right now, the selfish, disloyal guys failed to take back the command of the fleet and proposed to revoke the establishment of the Heaven’s Return Fleet. The four fleets should split up and go home to defend their nests in case their rear is ambushed. “Well—”
Song Bugui turned pale with fright. “We can’t do that! It wasn’t easy for us to establish the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector. If it falls apart so soon, wouldn’t our morale fall to rock bottom? “Besides, the rebels are too strong right now. We have to concentrate all our strength to deal with them. If the four families divide their forces, they will only be defeated one by one! “Besides, the Song family is the strongest among the four families. Even the emperor is here. If the revolutionary rebels want to win the support of more people, they will have to attack the Song family. How can they invest their precious troops in the other three families? They can’t afford to. It’s impossible!” “Hehe. I know it’s impossible, too. This is just a scheme to bargain with the other three families. However, if we let those guys and their fleet continue to occupy the heartland of the Song family, who knows how much more trouble they will cause. Therefore, my father and I are both planning to destroy their prestige and consolidate the core position of the Song family.
With a cumning look on his face, Song Lixing said in a low voice, “While we still have some control over the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, we can launch the ‘Battle of Jade Cauldron’ and fight against the rebels. Of course, a great victory will be best. It doesn’t matter even if we suffer a minor setback.
As long as we put the fleets of the other three fleets at the forefront and let them taste the suffering of ‘God of War’ Lei Chenghu, those guys will be obedient. So, do you understand… what Father and I mean?”
Song Bugui was dumbfounded. A giant bell seemed to be ringing inside his brain.
He understood. How could he not understand that this was a scheme to get rid of him? The higher-ups of the Song family wanted to borrow Lei Chenghu’s unstoppable saber to give some blood to the last elites of the three electors besides the Song family!
Song Bugui just didn’t expect the situation to be this bad. Everyone was about to die a graveless death, yet the court officials were still scheming and deceiving each other! “That’s impossible.”
Song Bugui blurted out, “The commanders of the other three fleets aren’t stupid, either. Why would they obediently rush to the front and engage in a head-on clash with the ‘God of War’?” “About that, it depends on my father’s strategy and yours.
Song Lixing said, “You are the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and all the information about the space jump points of the Yellow Dragon Sector and the Jade Cauldron Sector is in our hands. It is safe to say that the fleet will jump wherever we want it to. The fleet that has just left the space jump state is still dizzy and muddleheaded. It will be easy for you, as the commander-in-chief, to deal with the interference of spiritual energy and the loss of communication. “all in all, we don’t want our allies to die in vain. We just want them to learn their lesson and understand that unity is the key to victory. If they behave themselves in the imperial court and stop dragging us down, it will be much easier for you to come up with strategies such as ‘deciding the victory of the
Yellow Dragon Sector’, won’t it? “Bu Gui, let me tell you something. If the job is done well, you will be the biggest contributor to the Song family and the pillar of the imperial court. The entire fleet of the Flying Star Sector will be under your control. With the full support of my father and me, what are you scared of?” “Tm scared of you father and son who kill people without spilling blood!”
Song Bugui cursed in his heart.
He admitted that he was mediocre, but ‘mediocre’ was not the same as ‘foolishness’! According to Song Lixing, if the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector went on the offensive and returned in failure, who would be responsible for the failure? Besides, according to Song Lixing’s plan, the fleets of the other three electors would suffer heavy casualties, too. Nobody was stupid enough to notice the traces. By then, who would bear the wrath of the other three electors?
Needless to say, it was him, the commander-in-chief of the fleet!
He estimated that if he was lucky, his head would fall to the ground. If he was unlucky, his family would be in trouble. Even if His Majesty only wanted his head, the other three electors would have to hire someone to murder his entire family!
Of course, it would be a different matter if he won.
But when he was faced with ‘God of War’ Lei Chenghu and ‘Pirate Potentate’ Bai Xingjian, who had just risen to fame, was there a 1% chance of victory?
Song Bugui’s eyes suddenly turned red, but he regained his calmness in the next second, as if he had not seen through Song Lixing’s intentions and the consequences of his actions. —To be able to struggle for nearly 200 years in a tiger’s den like the Song Family, to be able to keep his head after several ups and downs, Song Bugui naturally had his own methods. “Three days.”
On the other side of the communication channel, Song Lixing was still dwelling in his wonderful future picture and did not notice Song Bugui’s reaction at all. He said, “I’m giving you three days to fully support your family’s resources and personnel. No matter what you do, the Battle of Jade Cauldron must be initiated!”
Before Song Bugui replied, he had cut off the communication, leaving the commander-in-chief of the fleet in a dark shadow.
Song Bugui stared at the shadow for a long time.
Several times, the veins on his forehead were about to jump out and tear the shadow apart like sabers.
But eventually, his veins calmed down.
He was not alone. He had a big family to count on, too. Right now, his wife, children, and old ones were mostly on Yellow Dragon, under the control of Song Lixing and his son. So what if he had amazing abilities? Besides, he did not!
Song Bugui sighed. He closed his eyes and rubbed his nose hard.
Just as he was about to put away his helpless thoughts and force himself to plan the strategy of the Jade Tripod Sector, the light beam that had just been extinguished lit up again. Song Lixing’s greasy face appeared again, with excitement in his eyes, as if he had just received great news. “Change of plans. Marshal Song, you only have 24 hours.”
Song Lixing was so excited that his voice was shrilling. “The fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector must be mobilized within the next twenty-four hours. The other support fleets stationed in the Yellow Dragon Sector will attack together and crush the rebels. This is the real moment of victory. The rebels are doomed!” “What…”
Song Bugui was completely confused. “Chairman, what happened?” “Tve just received three pieces of latest intelligence, each of which is better than the last. At first, there was internal strife among the rebels attacking the Jade Tripod Sector. The subordinates of Bai Xinghe, the deputy commander-in-chief of the rebels, mutinied at first. Then, they simply broke away from Lei Chenghu’s control and fled to their hometown at the edge of the sea of stars! “As a result, Lei Chenghu’s soldiers were greatly undermined, and his morale was so low that he could not even maintain the most basic formation! “The defenders on Jade Cauldron Planet and several satellites have launched counterattacks and dragged Lei Chenhu’s subordinates into the chaotic swirl, waiting for the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector to arrive and deal the fatal blow! “Bai—Bai Xingjian mutinied and defected?”
Song Bugui chewed on the news and found it hard to react. “How is it possible? Why?” “Because of the next two pieces of news.
Song Lixing was beaming with joy. “First of all, an assault fleet of the Star Glory Federation just showed up in the Empyrean Terminus Sector and the Empyrean Terminus Planet. They ambushed the capital city and caught the revolutionaries unprepared. The revolutionaries were caught in an impasse and barely had the ability to fight back. “Secondly, the Star Glory Federation, the Black Wind Fleet that the revolutionaries had high hopes for, has just made a decision to refuse to march into the center of the sea of stars. “You know that Bai Xingjian, the miraculously rising ‘Pirate Potentate’, is closely related to Li Yao, the Black Wind King, who is also known as the Star Glory Federation at the edge of the sea of stars. We don’t know the details of the so-called ‘Black Wind King’s Territory’ and the ‘Star Glory Federation’, but we are certain that they are the third force independent of the revolutionaries. Rumor has it that they are a nation of Cultivators. “In any case, the failure of the revolutionaries has been fully revealed. There is no way that the Star Glory Federation will allow its warriors to be buried in the center of the sea of stars. As a space pirate, Bai Xinghe knows the importance of preserving his strength best. Naturally, he will not fight until the end. “Therefore, what’s wrong with Bai Xinghe fleeing back to his hometown with his fleet and the resources he looted from the Jade Tripod Sector? “The defection of Bai Xinghe’s subordinates was equivalent to cutting off one of the arms of the revolutionary rebels. The heartland of the rebels was under tremendous pressure from the Sanctuary Alliance, too. The morale of the people could not have been lower. Isn’t it a heaven-sent opportunity? It is the best opportunity for us to restore the rightful imperium. Deputy General Song, is there any doubt?” “Tjust thought that it was too weird.
Song Bugui quickly browsed through the intelligence that Song Lixing had sent over. Although all the intelligence was solid, the alarms inside his brain were still ringing. It might have been his intuition, or maybe it was because he had been beaten into submission by Lei Chenghu. “Chairman, please understand that the most important thing for the rebels is time. The rebels definitely don’t have the time to argue with our army, but they are more than eager to find our main force, which is the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, for the final battle. Over the past half month, the rebels have been bluffing and bluffing for the same purpose. “On the other hand, our army has yet to be deployed, waiting to be exhausted. Although the situation is not very good, we have truly grasped the key to the rebellion army. Even if Lei Chenghu’s commanding skills are ten times better than mine, what can we do if we simply stand by and do nothing? “Right now, the members of the Sanctuary Alliance have stabbed the rebels in the back. Lei Chenghu’s situation is getting more and more dangerous. Is he going to come back or not? If he doesn’t, the imperial capital is likely to fall. If he does, all the previous achievements will be wasted. Countless soldiers, resources, and time will be wasted. “Therefore, according to my judgement, this is the time when the rebels are most anxious to have a final war with us. If we wait for another ten to fifteen days, we will be able to kill the rebels. “At such a critical moment, news of internal strife among the rebels broke out as if they were luring our army to attack on purpose.. Isn’t it a bit… weird?”
