In just a few hours, breaking news spread to every corner of the Midlands' streets and alleys.
The strongest trump card of the Midlands, the Golden Fleet, had been destroyed!
At first, people thought it was some kind of joke, or a fake news broadcast by a news anchor who had taken the wrong medicine. But soon, with the disclosure of the video and media reports, more and more people knew the truth of the matter.
The Space Administration had sent a fleet to the outer world to arrest a criminal, but they invaded the territory of another mysterious force without permission. After the warning was ineffective, the army of the mysterious force launched an attack on the Space Administration's fleet. The Space Administration's fleet was defeated and retreated while seeking reinforcements.
As more and more dimensional warships joined the battle, the situation of the battle gradually expanded. In the end, the Space Administration had to send the Golden Fleet to rescue the dimensional warships trapped on the battlefield.
But … .they were all wiped out by the other party.
After defeating the Golden Fleet, the other party did not attack the Space Administration again, so the remaining dimensional warships were able to escape from the battlefield. But … .things did not end there.
Because when the remaining warships finally returned to the Midlands through the space-time tunnel, they were horrified to find that not far behind them, the fleet of the mysterious force had also appeared!
And now, this mysterious fleet was heading towards the capital of the Midlands – Midlands!
"What should we do now?!"
The Space Administration was in a state of panic. Ever since the news of the destruction of the Golden Fleet came, the higher-ups of the Space Administration had fallen into the abyss of despair and fear. When they learned that the mysterious fleet had followed their remaining warships to the Midlands, they were even more at a loss as to what to do.
"We should immediately send a representative to communicate with the other party and choose to sue for peace!"
"Sue for peace? Are you kidding me? They defeated our Golden Fleet. This is an obvious act of hostility! Since this fleet dares to invade our Midlands, they are our enemies. We should fight back with all our might! "
"Even the Golden Fleet is no match for them. What can we do to fight back?"
Upon hearing this, one of the higher-ups slammed the table angrily.
"Haven't we already learned the specific situation from the admiral of the Fifth Fleet? The other party has issued a warning, but those idiots of the Fifth Fleet didn't take it to heart at all. They're still trying to force their way into the other party's territory! What's the difference between this and an invasion?! Now that you can't beat them, what else do you want but to ask for peace? Do you want to drag the whole of Midland down with you?! "
Hearing this, the few higher-ups who were shouting the loudest had nothing to say now. After all, they had already heard what had happened from the survivors of the Fifth Fleet. Indeed, forcibly entering the territory of an unknown force and ignoring the warnings of the other party was considered an invasion.
Now, he had poked a hornet's nest, right?
The only reassuring thing was that the fleet headed straight for the capital after entering the Midlands, showing no intention of attacking other planets and territories. This meant that the other party … was not here to invade the Midlands.
Of course, Fangzheng would not choose to do so. He did not have a good impression of the Space Administration, but he still knew a few people from the anime. Considering that it was, after all, the main character's residence, Fangzheng did not plan to occupy a territory here. Otherwise, as long as Fangzheng released a swarm of insects, it would only be a matter of time before he occupied the entire Midlands.
But now … for the sake of Vivian, Reinhardt, Corona and the other girls, I'll let you off the hook.
But I still have to teach you a lesson.
Sitting on a chair, Fangzheng looked at the Milky Way and starry sky outside the window and yawned. Around the fleet, battleships from the Space Administration's Dimensional Fleet could also be seen loitering. However, these battleships were not stupid. After the previous battle, they did not dare to act arbitrarily. Apart from following the fleet from a distance, they did not dare to do anything else.
"Reporting, Captain."
At that moment, Iona, who was steering the warship forward, suddenly spoke up.
"A communication request has been detected from the Dimensional Warship Azra. The applicant is Lindy Harlowen."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng changed his posture in his chair and thought for a moment before giving an answer.
"Connect her."
"Yes."
Soon, the screen in front of him flashed and Lindy's face appeared in front of Fangzheng. Lindy was slightly surprised to see Fangzheng sitting in the chair, but she quickly calmed down again.
"It really is you, Mr. Fangzheng."
"Hello, Ms. Lindy."
Fangzheng put down the teacup in his hand and nodded at Lindy.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"I didn't expect it either …"
Lindy's mood was unusually complicated. In fact, after learning that the Space Administration's Dimensional Fleet was attacked, Lindy thought that it might be Fangzheng's doing. After all, he had warned her before. But Lindy did not expect that Fangzheng would make such a big move. He directly escalated a local conflict to the level of a war and even defeated the Golden Fleet in one fell swoop!
Even Lindy herself did not know what to do now, but … no matter what, she had to give it a try.
"I admit that the Space Administration was at fault this time, but Sir Fangzheng, don't you think what you're doing is too much?"
"Too much?"
Hearing Lindy's protest, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
"Ms. Lindy, I remember telling you before that if you dare to enter the territory of the Tendo Temple without permission again, you'll have to bear the consequences. I believe that you should have conveyed my message to the Space Administration, but even so, the Fifth Fleet of the Space Administration still tried to forcibly invade our sphere of influence and completely ignored our repeated warnings. So … do you think the Tendo Temple is so easy to bully? "
"That's not what I meant …"
Lindy was speechless for a while when she heard Fangzheng's indifferent question. The root cause of the whole thing was that the Space Administration was too arrogant and did not take the Tendo Temple seriously, which led to them getting into trouble.
"I won't attack civilians. After all, they're innocent."
Fangzheng stared at Lindy, and after a while, he continued.
"But I think the higher-ups of Mead need to be taught a lesson. You must know that this universe doesn't belong to you. You can't manage anyone just because you called yourself the Space Administration … You must know that in this universe, there are existences far more powerful than you. If you don't know how to know your place, then I don't mind teaching you the right way to communicate."
"Wait a minute, Fang …"
Upon hearing this, Lindy's expression changed drastically. However, just as she was about to say something, she saw Fangzheng wave his hand. The next moment, the connection between them was cut off.
For a moment, the whole command room was dead silent.
"Captain … what should we do now?"
After a few moments, Crono asked helplessly while Lindy let out a deep sigh.
"Let's go back to Mead first … No matter what, I hope the Space Administration headquarters and the Council don't cause any more trouble!"
Fangzheng snorted as he watched the Asra turn around and leave.
Just as he said to Lindy, he needed to teach Mead a lesson. But Fangzheng knew very well that people were prone to forgetfulness. Sometimes, a simple lesson wouldn't change anything.
Therefore, he had his own plans.
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Whoosh —!
The next moment, he disappeared from the warship and appeared in a strange space.
There were all kinds of panels everywhere. On the largest platform, there were three oval-shaped nutrient chambers. Three brains were suspended in the nutrient solution, bubbling from time to time. In front of the three brains, a long-haired woman was standing on the platform, tapping something from time to time. When she saw Fangzheng suddenly appear, the long-haired woman was taken aback.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "
However, just as the woman's voice faded away, Fangzheng suddenly swung his hand. The next moment, the pitch-black greatsword pierced through the long-haired woman's body, pinning her to the ground. Immediately following that, bright red flames erupted, and with a scream, the long-haired woman was completely burned to a pile of charcoal.
"Who are you …?"
At that moment, an old voice sounded. Upon hearing this voice, Fangzheng swept his gaze at the three brains in front of him.
"You must be the three old guys who secretly control the Council and the Space Administration. Hmm, it seems that I've found the right place … Let me introduce myself. I'm the supreme ruler of the Tendo Temple, Fangzheng. I'm here to negotiate with the Midland Space Administration for invading our Tendo Temple without permission. "
"Negotiate?"
At that moment, another voice sounded. It sounded anxious and uneasy.
"If what you mean is …"
"Oh, but this has nothing to do with you."
However, Fangzheng obviously couldn't be bothered to listen to what the three brains said. He just waved his hand.
"The so-called negotiation is just a formality. To be honest, I personally have no interest in Midland, but I'm worried that you will have bad ideas about our Tendo Temple, so I plan to make the first move …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng spread his hands.
"Please, Midland, become a subsidiary territory of our Heavenly Palace."
"What did you say?"
"That's just wishful thinking!"
Hearing this, the old voice suddenly became furious.
"We will never agree!"
"No."
However, in the face of the refutation of the three brains, Fangzheng shook his head.
"You'll agree …."
As Fangzheng spoke, several slime crawled out of his shadow. They then secretly flowed along the pipe into the nutrition chamber. The next moment, the slime tightly wrapped around the brain suspended in the nutrition chamber.
Seeing this, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"From now on, you belong to the swarm."
