CHAPTER 1175: CHAPTER 1174: GENTLEMEN, I LOVE WAR

"Unrepentant!"

Watching the screen fade to black, the Bearded Man slammed the table fiercely. This was merely a border region outside management, yet it dared to act so brazenly towards a fleet directly under the Space-Time Bureau, what audacity! Such reckless and arrogant behavior must be punished!

It’s time they witnessed the power of the Space-Time Bureau!

"Admiral, are we really going to..."

Yet at this moment, the Bearded Man’s adjutant whispered a question. Although he was also annoyed by Fang Zheng’s attitude, at least Fang Zheng wasn’t wrong. This wasn’t under the jurisdiction of the Space-Time Bureau, and if they stirred up trouble on Earth this time...

"Don’t worry, we just need to follow the rules for outer worlds."

The Bearded Man was confident, having investigated the Earth’s civilization beforehand. He knew this civilization hadn’t even developed extraterrestrial spacecraft. Of course, many unmanaged civilizations had hidden forces or organizations with power beyond their own circles, but even so, they wouldn’t be worth his concern.

Because no matter how powerful these secret organizations are, they are just a group, while the world of Mid Zhilanda stands behind the Space-Time Bureau!

This was like comparing bandits in martial hero novels to the official army; no matter how mighty a bandit lord is, when the official army arrives, they must flee. After all, two fists against four hands, the fleets under the Space-Time Bureau number in the hundreds or even thousands, why fear a small border organization?

"According to the rules for outer worlds, the entire fleet is to assemble in orbit and notify the unmanaged world, simultaneously initiating compulsory capture action!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the Bearded Man’s order, the adjutant saluted urgently. Since his superior had made a decision, he could only comply.

"Beep..."

However, they had just begun to act when an urgent alarm sounded, and a voice resonated in their ears.

"Warning, you have entered the territory of the Heavenly Dao Palace, please leave immediately, or you will be treated as invaders. Warning..."

"Admiral..."

Upon hearing the warning, the adjutant looked at his superior again. If he was just a little worried earlier, now he was truly uneasy. This time, the other party hadn’t even gone through communication protocols but had directly intruded into their battleship’s communication system with a warning, which in some sense was a covert threat.

"Ignore it, continue forward! Boldly intruding into the Space-Time Bureau’s battleship communication network is a serious crime! This time, we must let them feel our might!"

"...Yes."

The adjutant replied reluctantly once more.

But this time, his momentum wasn’t as strong as before.

However, moments later, the situation changed again.

"Report, at nine o’clock direction, a Gen Takao energy reaction detected!"

Accompanied by the subordinates’ screams, the Bearded Man instinctively raised his head to look ahead. He then saw deep in the pitch-black starry sky, several points of dazzling starlight suddenly appear.

The radiance flickered briefly.

Suddenly, colossal iron beasts emerged, appearing right in front of the Dimensional Fleet.

"This... this is..."

Seeing the dozen warships before him, the Bearded Man’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t expected that they actually had their own fleet!

And such terrifying warships!

The Dimensional Fleet, although having warships, their ships weren’t particularly large, only comparable in size to the Fang Zheng Azure Fleet’s destroyers, incomparable to other warships. Now, just from looking at the kilometers-long warships and aircraft carriers, the Bearded Man felt his legs quiver.

How could this be?

Why was there no report? Damn, where did this fleet come from?

But as the Bearded Man’s mind went blank, that voice resurfaced.

"Warning ignored, commencing attack."

"Damn it!!"

Hearing this, the Bearded Man finally snapped out of it. He opened his mouth, attempting to say something, but it was already too late.

"—————!!"

A dazzling light beam erupted from the muzzle, hitting the Dimensional Fleet’s warships in the blink of an eye. The Dimensional Fleet’s magic barrier shattered in just three seconds under the intense assault, and in the next moment, the roaring energy beams tore through the left wing of a Dimensional warship.

"Boom!!"

Deafening explosions and vibrations, accompanied by blinding red alert flashes, had everyone screaming uncontrollably. Leading them, the Bearded Man fell on the ground with a thud. Yet he quickly got up and promptly issued orders.

"Fleet, follow orders, full attack! Attack!!"

With the order, the Dimensional Fleet began to counterattack. In an instant, both sides were entangled in battle, amidst barrages of artillery and dazzling light spheres.

Unprepared, the Dimensional Fleet was caught off guard by the surprise attack of this mysterious fleet, now trying to regroup under the Bearded Man’s command.

But at that moment, strange golden warships quietly emerged from the void. Before the Dimensional Fleet could react, they swiftly passed overhead, launching hundreds of missiles that left long trails as they slammed into the Dimensional Fleet.

Brilliant explosions engulfed the entire fleet, and the Dimensional Fleet which was reorganizing descended into chaos once more from the sudden assault.

"Report! Klei has sustained serious damage, requesting evacuation, evacuate, no no... aaaaaah!!"

With the cries coming through the communications, the Bearded Man looked sideways in time to see another Dimensional warship pierced by dozens of energy beams, exploding into a magnificent firework.

"Damn, damn! Do you think it ends like this? It doesn’t end like this!!"

Seeing this, the Bearded Man’s eyes reddened. He slammed a button and shouted.

"This is the Space-Time Bureau’s Dimensional Bureau’s Fifth Fleet! We are under attack in the 97th Unmanaged World, repeat, we are under attack in the 97th Unmanaged World, requesting nearby fleet support! The enemy is fierce and cunning, send reinforcement immediately...!"

Hearing the Bearded Man’s desperate cries through the communication channel, Iona turned to Fang Zheng.

"Captain, they’re requesting support."

"I heard."

"Is this really okay? We could sever their communication lines..."

"It’s just bait, Iona."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, shaking his head with a grin.

"Listen, our goal isn’t just to defeat this fleet so simply. What we want is to let the Space-Time Bureau understand who truly rules this world. Normally, this can only be resolved through a fight. I’m not interested in enduring protracted negotiations. To me, the Space-Time Bureau must leave our territory and never return. The best solution...is naturally to utterly annihilate it."

Ending his words, Fang Zheng sneered coldly.

"How is the preparation for the First Super Flagship Fleet?"

"Elizabeth just reported that Memory of Neshin is ready and can act any time."

"Good."

Hearing Iona’s response, Fang Zheng nodded, raising his glass to the screen in front of him.

"War is a good thing, it’s the most straightforward means for people to understand hierarchy and status, so gentlemen... I love war."

With Fang Zheng’s words, as if to validate him, dozens of Dimensional Battleships reappeared.
