"Marquis Jiayuan, where is your fleet exactly? Why haven't you approached me yet? What? You are still stalled by the main force fleet of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors? By my estimation, the enemy has more than two thousand main warships. You cannot get rid of them at all, and you are asking for reinforcements from the allies nearby? You — you! You —
"Then, send me the real-time battle data on the battlefield. Once the number and level of the enemy's warships are confirmed, I'll send reinforcements to you immediately!
"What? The enemy has imposed intense interference on you. Your network is on the verge of collapse, and no data can be transmitted. You can't even maintain the 'Flying Lightning Super Command Chain', and you are about to break away from the command and fight on your own? Marquis Jiayuan, Marquis Jiayuan!
"Leader Peng, where is your fleet? What? You gathered more than five hundred starships at the coordinates six hours ago, and you are still lingering there? What are you doing exactly? Why haven't you approached me yet? What? You have just been ambushed by the main force of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. You are in urgent need of maintenance, and it is estimated that it will take seventy-two hours to complete the temporary maintenance of all the starships? A * shole, tell me, where did the main force of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors come from when you are surrounded by allies? Have they grasped such precise space jump technologies and jumped to your head all of a sudden?
"Elder Zhao, please lead your fleet to 'Landslide' immediately. I repeat, for the sake of the Imperium, lead your fleet to 'Landslide' now and fight side by side with me!"
Every five minutes, Yun Xuefeng refreshed the fleets that were connected to the command chain and yelled at the temporary commanders of those fleets, asking them to approach him immediately or to march into the defense circle of the Seven Seas Grand Market after they gathered enough people.
It was a pity that most of the temporary commanders seemed to be hesitating. They were certainly loyal to the Imperium, to the four families, and to Commander Yun Xuefeng, and were not scared of death. The problem was that their starships were either seriously twisted and damaged during the four-dimensional jump or suffered a head-on strike from the defenders the moment they jumped over. At this moment, they were still entangled with the hunting fleet of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and could not be separated at all.
Along with the blatant lies, the bridges of many starships were already burnt by smoke. Some even had minor explosions, as if they were really in the middle of a fierce battle. Even the flagship had to charge head-on.
However, when Yun Xuefeng asked them to send the real-time data of the battlefield over so that he could better understand the situation, they all declined, claiming that they were suffering from intense interference. The Spiritual Nexus had been torn apart, and it was difficult for them to maintain the most basic communication, not to mention sending astronomical information.
If Yun Xuefeng kept asking, those guys simply cut off the communication, not obeying Yun Xuefeng's command at all.
Yun Xuefeng was so angry that he almost smashed the control panel. He did not expect that those wretched Immortal Cultivators would preserve their strength to such an extent without caring about the big picture!
Thankfully, no matter how other families were observing, the Yun family's own troops were still very loyal and tough.
Of the four Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships that belonged to the Yun family, two other warships had been contacted except for his "Landslide".
Also, the two Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships attracted a thousand starships of various types, which formed two temporary fleets and were rushing toward Yun Xuefeng's coordinates.
Other than the Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships, the command permissions of the other starships of the Yun family in the "Flying Lightning Command Chain" had been adjusted to a rather high level by Yun Xuefeng too. They served as the cores of the temporary fleets without exception, commanding dozens of temporary fleets large and small to approach him from various directions.
As long as all the fleets were in position, he would be invincible. By then, with the strength of the Yun family alone, he would be able to fight a clean battle of annihilation and claim all the credit. The guys of the Song family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family would be dumbfounded and regretful!
While Yun Xuefeng was thinking that, a series of hasty messages suddenly came from the communication channel. It was the commander of another Adamantine Super Arsenal Warship who wanted to speak to him.
"Song Yushi?"
Yun Xuefeng found it hard to believe.
Song Yushi was an elder of the Song family, a marquis of the Imperium, and an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage. He was a very senior commander of the Song family and an extraordinary person of a generation older than Yun Xuefeng. He was also one of the strong competitors for the commander-in-chief of the coalition fleet of a million starships.
In many ways, Song Yushi, who had been through hundreds of battles, was even more suitable as the commander-in-chief of the battle than Yun Xuefeng was.
However, in the competition for the commander-in-chief, Yun Xuefeng was determined to win, but Song Yushi was rather indifferent and seemed to be letting nature take its course. In the end, he simply gave the commander-in-chief to Yun Xuefeng.
At first, Yun Xuefeng was quite satisfied, thinking that Song Yushi did not have the courage to compete with a "rising star" like him because of his old age and lack of ambition.
It was not until he became the arduous and unrewarding "general commander", especially after he jumped to the Seven Seas Space Zone, that he was faced with the messy battle situation and his subordinates who had ill intentions who did their own things. He finally realized how hot the potato that he took over voluntarily was and how many barbs were buried in the potato.
Song Yushi, on the other hand, reached out to him the moment he jumped over. He did not make up any lies about encountering a large enemy force, either.
However, the fleet commander of the older generation of the four families told Yun Xuefeng coldly that he would search for the hunting fleets of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors immediately after a temporary fleet was gathered and have a final battle with them in order to relieve the pressure on his allies.
In the process, it was possible that he would keep the communication silent and the Spiritual Nexus cut off. He asked Yun Xuefeng not to contact him unless it was necessary, and even if he did, he might not be able to reach out to him.
"When Commander Yun was still a baby, I was already dominating the sea of stars and bathed in blood on the battlefields. I have my own ideas on how to annihilate the insignificant rebels of the reformists. Commander Yun, you might as well spend your efforts on the starships of the Li family and the Dongfang family!"
Song Yushi simply slapped Yun Xuefeng's face with such arrogant words.
Yun Xuefeng, however, could do nothing about the old guy who was more experienced, more connected, and stronger than him. He could only watch his Adamantine Super Arsenal Warship disappear from the glittering icons on the command chain.
Yun Xuefeng had thought that the old guy would hide at the edge of the space zone and not show up until he and the garrison of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors were exhausted. Little did he expect that the old guy would show up on his own after only thirty hours. What was the meaning of this? Had he found his conscience? Was he finally ready to serve the Imperium?
Thinking in that way, Yun Xuefeng activated the communication channel and let Song Yushi's holographic projection appear before him.
Song Yushi at this moment, however, did not have the calmness and composure of a seasoned general on the battlefield at all. Instead, he was more like a firecracker that could explode at any moment.
His hair and beard were all standing up, as if hundreds of black blades had been stabbed into his head and chin. Before the holographic projection was fully formed, he had already pointed at Yun Xuefeng's nose and cursed aloud, "Yun Xuefeng, you are truly bold. I did not know that you would be as insane as this! Are you crazy, or is the entire Yun Family crazy? Do you want to become enemies with the other three great families? Do you want to completely change the world? "
Yun Xuefeng was rather baffled by Song Yushi's saliva that almost pierced through the light beam. After a long daze, he finally asked, "… Elder Song, what is the meaning of this?"
"What is the meaning of this? Are you still pretending?"
Song Yushi burst into fury. "You instigated your 'National Protection Army' and Li Wuji's fleet to swallow the temporary fleet that Song Changlie, Marquess Hushan, had just finished regrouping. You even blew 'Tiger Roar', Song Changlie's flagship, into pieces. None of the Immortal Cultivators, including Song Changlie, escaped! Yun Xuefeng, faced with a great enemy, you have done such insane, heinous things as the commander of the coalition army. How are you going to explain yourself? "
"What!"
Ten thousand balls of lightning seemed to be exploding inside Yun Xuefeng's head at the same time, making his head go blank. He subconsciously said, "How — How is it possible? It must be a misunderstanding. Don't be instigated by the scoundrels, Elder Song! "
"Misunderstanding? Instigated by the scoundrels? Damn you! "
His eyes bloodshot, Song Yushi spat on the ground hard.
Song Changlie, Marquess Hushan, was not just a central member of the Song family but also Song Yushi's nephew. The three Colossi on Song Changlie's flagship had been jumbled with his support, too. Little did he expect that they would be destroyed in an uncanny fight before they met the enemy. No wonder Song Yushi was so infuriated.
"Many Immortal Cultivators of the Song family who escaped told me in person that it was the joint attack of the 'National Protection Army' and Li Wuji's fleet that blew up Song Changlie's warship. Everybody knows that Li Wuji has been very close to you recently and is almost your trusted subordinate. You even armed the 'National Protection Army' under his command with tremendous resources, and you claim that it was not your doing?"
Song Yushi gnashed his teeth. "I know Song Changlie's capabilities very well. If it weren't for your support, how could Li Wuji and the space pirate surnamed Bai have done anything to him?"
"Well — Well — Please calm down, Elder Song. I really know nothing about it!"
Cold sweat was dripping down Yun Xuefeng's forehead. He knew too well the consequences of offending Song Yushi, a master of the older generation. Not to mention the fact that Song Yushi was attacking his own army in front of a great enemy. Such a crazy thing was unreasonable.
