The arrival of "Bloody Butcher" Wang Kou, "Shadowless" Duan Rui, and other desperadoes suggested that Queen Li Linghai's strength had surfaced, and the operation to rescue General Lei Chenghu was about to begin.
In the secret chamber, Li Linghai and the four most central generals under his command were discussing the final battle.
Dongfang Sheng, the highest commander of the Deep Sea Fleet, was the leader of the secret armed forces of the reformists.
Jin Yuyan, the CEO of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, was the god of wealth of the reformists. He was in charge of the operation of a large amount of secret funds.
Yue Wushuang, the leader of the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils, was the head of special services of the reformists. She was both responsible for infiltrating the systems of the four Kurfürst families for confidential information and preventing the enemy from infiltrating the reformists. Today, when the reformists were not completely exposed, it was naturally the most important post.
Other than the three of them, Li Yao also attended the meeting.
Although he was slightly surprised, Li Yao's shocking performance in the Deep Sea Palace had completely proved his capabilities.
Dongfang Sheng, Jin Yuyan, and Yue Wushuang did not have any objection either. They acknowledged that the "double expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage" was qualified to be on par with them.
Li Linghai, Dongfang Sheng, and Li Yao were all present in person. Naturally, Yue Wushuang and Jin Yuyan were 3D projections from a super long distance away.
When the five of them were all present, Li Linghai smiled at Li Yao first. "Last time, I asked Wang Kou and Duan Rui to come to you partly to ask you to help them strengthen their Crystal Suits and partly to help you get used to the brand-new Crystal Suits and magical equipment as your training partners. How did they do?"
"Not bad."
Li Yao said, "The young men are all very capable and steady in their training. They listen to everything I say. We get along quite well."
"That's good."
Li Linghai nodded and said, "Wang Kou, Duan Rui, and the rest of them are not from the regular army but have roamed the world. Although they each have their own unique skills, they also have the air of unruliness that cannot be washed away. They are all disobedient and disobedient.
"I was worried about how to deal with those people. If they were under General Dongfang's command, I fear that nobody would be comfortable. It will be best if you can get along with them.
"If they are all docile and docile, those scoundrels can indeed be of unexpected use at a critical moment!"
With a smile on her face, Li Linghai coughed, and her pale face gradually turned cold. She changed the topic and said, "Now, let's discuss the mission to rescue General Lei Chenghu.
"I don't think I need to tell you the importance of the mission, right? In the past ten days, the four Kurfürst families, under the pretext of investigating the incident of the Blood Oath Alliance, have carried out crazy purges in the entire Imperium, especially within the expedition army. Countless loyal patriots have been captured by them in secret. Our sympathizers are too panicked to care about themselves and do not dare to provide support for us anymore.
"The fellow Cultivators who have been captured, on the other hand, have confessed a lot of secrets under the interrogation of the enemy. How many secrets about the reformists have been learned by the enemy?
"Even General Lei Chenghu's Thunder Fleet has been secretly garrisoned by the people of the 'special investigation committee'. It is said that the fleets of the four Kurfürst families are also being mobilized stealthily near the Third Battle Area. It seems that they are trying to finish off the most elite force of the Imperium that is not part of the four Kurfürst families when General Lei Chenghu is under house arrest and the Thunder Fleet is leaderless!
"This is a moment of life and death. Our cause and the entire Imperium are at stake. We cannot wait any longer. We have to risk all our strength to assault the Godly Might Prison and rescue General Lei Chenghu!"
"Shua!"
As Li Linghai talked, a 3D map of the space zone popped up in front of the five of them. After enlarging it, it could be seen that it was a lackluster star system. The focus was on the sixth planet of the star system, which was a white planet that was covered in frost and extremely cold.
"This is the 'Mystic Ice Sector' where the Godly Might Prison is located. It is a half-desolate world that barely has any resources. Its star is at the end of its life, and the energy that it radiates is rather feeble.
"It is the only habitable planet that has an atmosphere, but it is too far away from the star, which makes the temperature of the entire planet extremely low, making it impossible to maintain a natural ecosystem.
"Since the Star Ocean Republic, the equator of the planet that is closest to zero has been excavated on a large scale. An enormous prison has been dug out.
"Because there are barely any natural resources on the surface of the planet and below the ground, all the assets are under the control of the prison. The spiritual energy in space is also extremely feeble. Even if one escapes into space, it will take twice as long as usual to perform a space jump. It will be very easy for the defenders to catch up and shoot them down. Therefore, it is the best place to imprison the felons.
"From the Star Ocean Republic to the Imperium of True Human Beings, the Godly Might Prison has been expanding and improving its defense level for at least fifteen hundred years. Right now, it has become a super prison of the highest level and the most heavily guarded in the entire Imperium.
"The most dreadful lunatics, the most dangerous criminals, the most violent maniacs, and countless people who oppose the four Kurfürst families are all caged in this place.
"Right. Ever since the Imperium's counterattack began, we have captured a lot of captives of the Holy League. The higher-level captives are locked in the Godly Might Prison, too."
Li Linghai pointed at the 3D light beam nonstop, displaying the complicated alert and defense system of the Godly Might Prison for everybody.
Looking at the dense crystal cannons and the aggressive fleets cruising in the orbit, Li Yao frowned deeply.
"Since so many felons are locked up, the alert of the Godly Might Prison is naturally very high."
Li Linghai pointed at the dense spots on the light beam and said, "If we are to attack the Godly Might Prison, the first thing we will have to face is the 'Godly Might Fleet'. Although it is a near-ground defense fleet that does not have cross-world attack abilities, it is made of the elites of the four Kurfürst families. Their combat ability in the orbit and below the atmosphere is not to be underestimated. They will definitely be a tough bone to chew on.
"Also, on the entire planet where the Godly Might Prison is located, especially in the equator area, countless automatic crystal cannons and underground fortresses have been established. There are also the 'Mystic Ice Beasts' that are made of special materials and highly resistant to coldness, which are designed for battles in the snowy environment.
"As for the spiritual energy arrays deep inside the Godly Might Prison that boast a super attractive force are naturally the standard defense measures. As you all know, there is a similar system in Wuying Lan's' Manjusaka, the City in the Sky ', but it was rendered invalid after the energy supply center was blown up.
"The spiritual energy system in the Godly Might Prison, on the other hand, boasts three energy centers, as well as a backup energy supply base that is powered by geothermal heat. There are four energy centers in total. It doesn't matter even if three of them are blown up.
"Besides, the Godly Might Prison also has a special 'mystic ray scanning defense system'. The entire prison is full of mystic ray probes that are emitting invisible mystic rays every second to scan all the prisoners and jailors. By analyzing their breathing frequency, body size, walking posture, and so on, their identities will be locked onto and their biophysical parameters will be monitored.
"With so many top-level defense systems, the Godly Might Prison is almost impenetrable. Nobody has successfully escaped in the past five hundred years."
Li Linghai paused for a moment and listened to everybody's opinions.
"It is indeed impregnable."
Dongfang Sheng, the commander of the Deep Sea Fleet, frowned. "If we fight with all our strength, we may be able to chew the tough bone, but we will certainly suffer heavy losses, and we may not be able to end the battle quickly. Should the four Kurfürst families mobilize the elites from the frontline, we will be screwed!"
"Also —"
Jin Yuyan, the chairman of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, said cautiously, "Once the surprise attack turns into an assault, the prison will be able to transfer or even kill General Lei Chenghu at any time. Then, our risky gamble will be meaningless."
Li Linghai smiled confidently and looked at Yue Wushuang expectantly.
Yue Wushuang, the leader of the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils and known as "Moon Devil", still covered half of her face in the silver cape. She said casually, "There's no need to worry about that. Our infiltration of the Godly Might Prison is far beyond your imagination. Right now, a deputy chief of staff of the Godly Might Fleet, the captains of quite a few main-force warships, and a deputy warden of the Godly Might Prison have joined the 'reformists'."
"What?"
It was the first time that Jin Yuyan and Dongfang Sheng had heard the news. They looked at each other in bewilderment in shock.
"Such a coincidence?"
Li Yao thought for a moment, but he continued to listen with rapt attention.
"Since the ancient times, if you want to reform the old, the first things that you have to control are the granaries, the arsenals, and the prisons, right?"
Yue Wushuang said calmly, "Since a lot of oppositions of the four Kurfürst families are locked in the Godly Might Prison, as well as countless experts who will never be able to rise in the current order, aren't they the best help for the reformists?
"Therefore, we have been working on the secret infiltration of the Godly Might Prison since a long time ago.
"The infiltration is much less difficult than we imagined.
"Although the fleets and the soldiers stationed in the Godly Might Prison are the elites of the four Kurfürst families, theoretically speaking, they should be loyal to their families.
"However … However, no matter how they flatter themselves, their jobs are always' jailors' who cannot be shown in public, and they will never have a chance to rise in the future.
"It is especially so in the recent ten years after the triumph of the 'Imperium's counterattack'. The descendants of the four Kurfürst families, as long as they are slightly related to the expedition army, have all made tremendous military credits without any trouble. Since then, they have been rising to the top. Their future in both their families and in other fields of the Imperium is boundless.
