Chapter 599: Incoming Danger

“My lord!”

After flying over, Luo Feng took the lead and bowed to Fang Yun. He had a look of joy on his face.

“My lord, I didn’t expect that you would come over personally. It seems that we can rest assured this time”

The people who followed Luo Feng also had joyful expressions.

They naturally knew Fang Yun’s power, so in their opinion, as long as Fang Yun takes action, the crisis will naturally be lifted.

Of course, from the beginning, they never thought that Fang Yun would personally go to the battlefield to help them wipe out this batch of enemies, even if they knew that he had such an ability.

They already know about Fang Yun’s plan to constantly temper them in the fire of war, cultivation giants, and true powerhouses.

Although following such an approach does put their lives in danger, they already have the determination to sacrifice themselves.

They all know that Fang Yun’s choice is the most meaningful and appropriate approach for the survival and growth of the metaverse, so they don’t have any complaints.

“Okay, arrange these younglings first.”

Fang Yun pointed at the people behind him. Luo Feng quickly nodded, then flew towards them.

Among the group of people that Fang Yun brought over, there were not many top powerhouses. Most of them are students from the two training camps and the rest are higher officers from the military.

All of these people have a single distinguishing characteristic, they are all young.

Although they are young, all of the young men that Fang Yun brought with him are top elite. They will definitely have a great impact on the battle situation.

After leaving the younglings in the hands of Luo Feng and the others, Fang Yun flew away. Under the leadership of dedicated personnel, he flew to his resting place.

About an hour later, Luo Feng came to Fang Yun’s resting place and reported to him,

“Greetings, my lord, now everyone has been settled.”

They had already prepared the residence area for the incoming forces, so they only had to lead them there and briefly state the rules to them. The rest will be done by the lower officers.

“Yeah.”

Fang Yun nodded, then calmly asked, “Luo Feng, How’s the current situation?”

Luo Feng’s expression immediately became serious upon hearing this.

“The threat mainly comes from the enemy’s reinforcements.”

“The previous fleet of the Izumo Empire gradually fell into a disadvantage while facing us. It wouldn’t have taken us long before defeating it.”

“Unexpectedly, their reinforcement arrived at such a juncture. Although they hadn’t attacked yet, we can already tell that we’re not their opponents, so our only option was to request reinforcements.”

“However, with your help, my lord, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and said,

“If this is the case, act according to your plan. This time, it’s still the same as before. I will watch the war here. I won’t take action under normal circumstances. I will only act if you fall into fatal danger.”

“If there is no world master-level powerhouse, I don’t dare to ask you to take action, my lord.”

Luo Feng said with a straight expression, causing Fang Yun to be quite surprised. What is Luo Feng exactly implying? Is he implying that he is confident to face anyone under the world master level?

He carefully looked at Luo Feng, then was quite surprised by the advancement in his cultivation. He has reached the mid domain master-level. Moreover, his cultivation base is quite solid. Considering his superb combat power, he does indeed have the qualification to fight against anyone in the domain master level.

“Well, with your cultivation level and combat power, you’re indeed capable of fighting against anyone in the domain master level.”

After exchanging a few words with Fang Yun, Luo Feng returned to his command post. The military forces that Fang Yun brought with him had greatly increased the combat power of their fleet.

He also knows that Fang Yun will indeed just watch if there are no special circumstances. He is their guarantee and last trump card.

As Fang Yun rested in his residence, the group of people he brought over quickly integrated into Luo Feng’s fleet.

Because many of the officers and soldiers in Luo Feng’s fleet had graduated from the two training camps, everyone gets along very well as juniors and predecessors.

Even if the company they belong to is different, people that graduated from the camp often visit these recruits and ask them about the current situation of the training camp, and at the same time, teach them their experience in the military and war.

During these days, Fang Yun has been paying attention to the enemy fleet. According to their investigation, the new fleet is about several times bigger than the previous fleet that guarded this area.

“I wonder, what’s the highest powerhouse level in that fleet?”

Fang Yun was a bit interested. Due to the immense size of the fleet and its advancement, its commander must be a great figure, one of their top cultivators.

Even if it’s not their country leader, it’s those that have reached the apex of the domain master level. Only they can command such a large and powerful fleet.

“It seems that even if there are no world master-level beings in this fleet, a peak domain master-level master will definitely appear.”

Fang Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the image of the fleet.

Previously, Luo Feng patted his chest and confidently said that apart from the appearance of a world master level powerhouse, Fang Yun doesn’t need to take action, but it seems that the situation is more tricky than he previously imagined.

In his view, there’s at least a peak domain master in this fleet, possibly two or more.

If there are two of them, one could entangle the strongest in the fleet, that is Luo Feng, and the other could sweep across the fleet.

Without an opponent of a similar or higher level, it’s almost impossible to stop a powerhouse of that level.

When the time comes, countless people and ships in their fleet will be killed and destroyed. Fang Yun naturally can’t accept such a thing.

Matching these younglings with a powerhouse that is way beyond their level isn’t tempering them anymore. It’s just killing them.

Fang Yun ordered his subordinates to closely watch the Izumo Empire’s fleet, guarding against any possible move.

Contrary to their expectations, the new reinforcement fleet didn’t attack straight away. Seeing their appearance, it seems that they are also hesitating.

In fact, the reason why they are hesitating is due to Fang Yun, and they didn’t even know that he had come, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to this area.

Fang Yun’s response was quite fast, not to mention that his arrival was silent. In fact, the size he displayed during his journey didn’t surpass ten kilometers, making it very hard for the enemy fleet to discover his existence.

If he displayed his true size, they could have discovered his existence from light-years away.

About ten days later, Luo Feng and the Izumo Empire’s fleet engaged in short-term combat. However, the two sides were very restrained, not engaging high-level combat power nor mass destruction weapons.

“What are the losses?”

Fang Yun asked when Luo Feng came to report the situation.

“My lord, today we have lost more than 300 people, and 1,300 soldiers have been seriously injured.”

Luo Feng solemnly reported to Fang Yun.

“However, the Izumo Empire’s fleet will only be worse than us.”

When talking about this, a slight smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face.

In the previous period, not long after the appearance of the reinforcement fleet, many officers did not recommend Luo Feng to go to Nebula to ask for reinforcements.

Most of them felt that clashing over this area on the edge of the Gama Empire was not worth it. After a clash to determine the general enemy forces, they should retreat.

However, Fang Yun had another idea. He felt that although this place might be just the edge of this empire, they should not give up on it. On the contrary, they should send manpower here to vigorously develop this area.

This wasn’t due to some prophecy or desire, just his intuition.

And his intuition was on point. After serious investigation, they found that there are many energy ore-rich planets in the corner of this area.

In addition, there are many large factories left by the Gama Empire here. As long as they take control of these giant factories, they will have additional means to manufacture starships and other space weapons in a quick and efficient manner.

In fact, they have already started to occupy these factories. At least in the region they conquered, many technicians and personnel have been sent there.

Fang Yun considers these places as critical protection areas. Even if they really give up on this area, these factories must be destroyed, not giving the enemy the chance to make a profit.

Many of their latest model blueprints have already been sent to these factories. If the enemy were to lay down their hands on them, it would be a very bad outcome for them.

After all, they are the results of the extensive research of the Metaverse, a former technology-focused superpower. Compared to the ancient universe that focuses mainly on cultivation, the Metaverse is more advanced in the technology field.

Of course, now that Fang Yun is present, there is no need to worry about these things, Fang Yun alone can wipe out the Izumo Empire’s fleet.

In the past few days, the fleet of the Izumo Empire had many small-scale clashes with the Metaverse fleet. They both had considerable losses, annoying both sides.

About half a month later, the general of the Izumo Empire’s fleet seemed unable to bear it anymore and began to actively attack Luo Feng’s fleet.

Fang Yun and Luo Feng watched the battle together.

This time, no domain master-level powerhouse appeared, so Luo Feng will not participate in the battle. He knows that the moment he appears, the enemy’s domain masters will also appear, causing the scale of the battle to jump up a level. This will be a bit unfavorable to them.

The two sides sent more and more troops to participate in the battle. At the beginning, it was only a battle of tens of thousands of people, but now it has grown to a war between hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

Moreover, this number is still rapidly increasing.

“It seems that the battle scale is about to go up.”

Fang Yun calmly stared at the battlefield below. He slowly said, seemingly unintentional,

“By the way, Luo Feng, are you ready for the battle?”

“Lord Ouroboros, I’m always ready.” Luo Feng seemed full of energy, replying with a look of confidence.

“Well, if that’s the case, then we will take the initiative to attack, directly upgrading the scale of the battle.”

After squinting his eyes, Fang Yun suddenly said to Luo Feng.

Hearing that, Luo Feng didn’t say anything but immediately started executing the order.

He quickly pressed his communication watch and called his companions that hadn’t stepped on the battlefield, then started preparing to head to the battlefield at any moment.

The opposite Izumo Empire’s fleet also started moving after seeing Luo Feng’s movement. They also deployed the rest of their manpower.

Suddenly, the number of soldiers on the battlefield reached a very terrifying number. From Fang Yun’s point of view, it looked like an endless swath of ants were fighting. Of course, the battlefield stretched over billions of kilometers, as each attack and explosion was almost planetary scale.

On the battlefield between the two sides, laser beams continuously collided. At the same time, with each passing moment, starships were getting damaged, then destroyed.

Luo Feng watched all this silently, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.

Inside these starships, there are many of his fellow students, his juniors, seniors, and even mentors. Even if he hadn’t had much communication with them, they are still familiar people. To see them die one after the other caused him great anguish.

The war continued.

In normal times, their ships wandered together in teams of Three to Five.

Upon encountering a master beyond their level, the fleet’s tight formation allows it to send support to any team. As long as the team can resist for a few seconds, then thousands of ships will swarm the enemy master and consume him to death.

The same goes for cultivators.

Furthermore, the Metaverse’s warriors are more powerful than the same level enemy cultivators, so they can generally overwhelm the Izumo fleet’s cultivators in single and even multiple battles.

The only issue is that the Izumo Empire has a much higher number of high-level cultivators, forcing them to use the crowd tactic to hold on.

This battle lasted for three days. The Izumo Empire’s fleet tried to cause their fleet to collapse due to the immense pressure but having experienced a similar pressure before, Luo Feng’s fleet was able to hold on.

On the contrary, it was the Izumo Empire’s fleet that had the advantage that started becoming unstable. Their higher-ups were not pleased with their current advantage.
