Long Yu was rather bewildered by the fact that Red Oriole's words had shocked the eleven Sovereign Realm experts in the surroundings. His plan of keeping a low profile had gone up in smoke.
However, as a Five Star Emperor, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile since he was participating in a Great Sovereign level mission. Even if Red Oriole didn't say he was her man, the eleven Great Sovereigns would still pay special attention to Long Yu.
Of course, right now, Long Yu had already become the focus of these eleven people.
"Greetings."
A handsome young beast cultivator with sharp ears walked in front of Red Oriole and Long Yu. Then, he looked at Red Oriole and extended his hand with a handsome smile. "Your Highness, I am from the Divine Wood Beast Race. My name is Han Hen. I have heard of Your Highness' name for a long time. Today, I finally get to meet you. Nice to meet you."
The Divine Wood Beast Race was a pretty good race in the Beast Race's territory. At the very least, it was an existence on the same level as the White Feather Beast Race. This handsome young man called Han Hen probably had a high status in the Divine Wood Beast Race.
However, this wasn't enough to attract Red Oriole's attention.
Seeing that Han Hen wanted to shake her hand, Red Oriole acted as if she didn't see it and said with a fake smile, "En, I haven't had much contact with the Divine Wood Beast Race in the past. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Red Oriole naturally didn't want to shake hands with an unfamiliar man. This made Han Hen look a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face.
"A pleasant cooperation? In that case, is Your Highness going to participate in the Great Sovereign mission?"
Han Hen chuckled, then looked at Long Yu, who was standing beside Red Oriole, and said, "Is this person also going to participate in the Great Sovereign mission? If that's the case, I'm really shocked. Your Highness' man is truly a 'talent'! "
These words were sarcastic. Clearly, she was mocking Long Yu, saying that he was living off a woman. He had actually come to rely on Red Oriole to freeload off of the Sovereign's Quest. It had to be known that although the Sovereign's Quest was difficult, the reward for completing it was also the highest.
Long Yu only had the cultivation of a Five-Star Emperor. It was almost impossible for him to complete the Great Dominator's mission! Even in a large-scale joint mission, it was an existence that could not play any role. Naturally, Han Hen and the others did not like it.
The moment Han Hen's mocking words left his mouth, the other ten Sovereign Realm experts chuckled. Although the number of people participating in the mission wouldn't affect the merit points they would receive in the end, they felt that Long Yu wouldn't be of any use during the mission. Allowing him to participate in the mission was a waste of his spot.
If it had been another Hegemon, their chances of completing the mission would have been slightly higher, and they would have had a slightly easier time.
"Yes, I am. Tell me the details of this Great Ruler level mission."
However, Red Oriole didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, she directly asked the mission issuer of the Battlefield Army, wanting to know more about this mission.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The mission issuer nodded and began to explain, "This mission is an escort mission. Right now, the Ice God Clan is attacking the frontline of the Alien Battlefield fiercely. Therefore, we urgently mobilized the weapon refiners in the territory to forge a large number of Fierce Fire Talismans. Using the Fierce Fire Talismans will have a miraculous effect against the Ice God Clan. Therefore, it is a very important batch of resources for the frontline of the Alien Battlefield. It can even decide the direction of the entire war!"
"The escort route will take you from the Third Galaxy to the Alien Battlefield. Once you are outside the Alien Battlefield, you may encounter threats from the Ice God Clan at any time. That's because the Ice God Clan has some powerful prophets who can foretell disasters … Perhaps the Ice God Clan's exotic beasts have already found out about this batch of Fierce Fire Talismans. Therefore, they recruited fifteen Great Sovereigns to escort this batch of Fierce Fire Talismans. This way, even if someone from the Ice God Clan sneaks behind us and tries to ambush you, they won't be a match for you."
"If this escort mission is completed, each participant who survives will receive a hundred thousand battle merit points. For those who die, they can designate a relative in advance, and that relative will receive the same hundred thousand battle merit points."
At this point, the mission issuer frowned slightly and said, "Of course, the recruitment period for this mission is three days. It is already the third day, so you must depart soon. After all, this kind of thing cannot be delayed. Therefore, if you do not recruit fifteen people, you must also depart."
"Can a Five Star Emperor, a Higher Sovereign, also participate?"
Red Oriole asked the key question.
"Of course, but the condition is that there are not enough people in the end."
The person nodded and said, "If there are less than fifteen people in the end, you can also join, but the final rewards will be different. Great Sovereigns will receive a hundred thousand battle merit points. High Sovereigns will only receive seventy thousand battle merit points. As for Five Star Emperor … "
At this point, the person glanced at Long Yu and smiled. "If he survives the mission, he will receive five thousand battle merit points. I'm sorry, Your Highness, but this is a hard and fast rule from above. We can't make the decision."
"It's fine. Five thousand battle merit points is already much more than the reward for an Emperor level mission."
Long Yu didn't seem to mind and shrugged.
"But the difficulty and danger are too much."
Red Oriole frowned slightly.
"It's fine. Trust me, as long as I'm not too unlucky, my life won't be in any danger."
Long Yu smiled and whispered to Red Oriole.
"Mm."
Red Oriole relaxed her brows and nodded. Since Long Yu had made his decision, there was no point in her continuing to object. Most importantly, Red Oriole had absolute trust in Long Yu. If Long Yu said it was fine, then it was fine. If Long Yu said there was no danger, then he definitely wouldn't die!
This kind of confidence wasn't blind. It was because Red Oriole had experienced many life and death situations that she had developed a deep impression of Long Yu. This kind of trust might be laughable to others. A high Sovereign expert would actually trust a Five Star Emperor so much … but that was because Five Star Emperor hadn't experienced anything like Red Oriole!
"We should leave in two hours. I really hope that four more Great Sovereigns arrive immediately. That way, we'll have a better chance of completing this escort mission," a burly Yao cultivator with an unshaven beard said with a frown.
A burly Demonic Beast cultivator with an unkempt beard said with a frown. He was one of the few Sovereigns present who wasn't shocked by Long Yu and Red Oriole's relationship.
In other words, this burly Yao cultivator with an unshaven beard wasn't interested in the relationship between Long Yu and Red Oriole. All he wanted was to complete this mission as quickly as possible.
"There's still two hours left. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the four Great Sovereigns. If those two brats really join us …"
Another middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes glanced at Red Oriole and Long Yu, then shook his head and said, "I hope they won't drag us down."
"Don't worry blindly. From what I know, although the Blood Demon Race's princess is only a higher Sovereign, her true strength is definitely at the level of an ordinary Great Sovereign. There's no way she will drag us down."
Another person beside him smiled and said, "As for the human race's five-star Emperor, Long Yu … I just received news that he was surrounded by a thousand Sovereign Secret Realm experts in Cry Echo Galaxy, but he didn't die. Moreover, when he was only a five-star Emperor, he single-handedly killed three mid-level Sovereigns and seven low-level Sovereigns … Even if he's a Great Sovereign, that brat won't be of much help, there's no way he will drag us down."
When these words were spoken, Long Yu and Red Oriole looked at the person in shock.
The person had a valiant and formidable-looking appearance, and it was actually a woman. She wore a water-blue gown and had a head full of short, water-blue hair. This was a rare sight among the Yao Race.
There were many people with water-blue hair in the Yao Race, but short-haired women were far too rare!
The person in front of them was a short-haired woman. She did not have the gentle aura of an ordinary woman, but she had a heroic and iron-blooded air about her, giving people a good impression of her at first glance.
This short-haired woman was standing close to the burly man with an unkempt beard and the middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The three of them were clearly quite close, or at least much closer than they were with the others.
"The Heavenly Wings Race, the Blade Wing Race, and the Sea Wing Race."
Red Oriole sized up the three people, then narrowed her eyes and secretly introduced them to Long Yu, "The burly man with the unkempt beard is from the Blade Wing Race, the middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows is from the Heavenly Wings Race, and the short-haired woman is from the Sea Wing Race.
"The Heavenly Wings Race, the Blade Wing Race, and the Sea Wing Race jointly rule the Gigantic Winged Galaxy. What's strange is that the relationship between the three races has always been very close, far surpassing the other major races that develop in the same galaxy!"
After hearing Red Oriole's words, Long Yu had a slight impression of the three races and the three Great Sovereigns in front of him. He recalled that he had killed the Third Prince of the Golden Flood Dragon Beast Race on the Killer King Star, but the Killer King Beast Race had remained indifferent and had even tacitly allowed Long Yu to kill the Third Prince of the Golden Flood Dragon Beast Race.
It was clear that the Golden Flood Dragon Beast Race, the Killer King Beast Race, and the others in the Ironwall Galaxy were secretly competing with each other.
However, the Heavenly Wings Race, the Blade Wing Race, and the Sea Wing Race, which jointly ruled the Gigantic Winged Galaxy, did not have any barriers between them. They were always united against a common enemy in the outside world, as if they were the same race.
As a result, the overall strength of the Gigantic Winged Galaxy far surpassed that of the other galaxies that were not united.
"That woman from the Sea Wing Race seems to know us quite well."
