Looking at Boss Bai's face that was mixed with grievances and obsequiousness, mixed with indignation, Yun Xuefeng was not quite sure what was going on.
Pacing back and forth for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and asked a redundant question. "Is what you said true?"
"It's true, Marshal Yun!"
Boss Bai almost beat his chest and complained, "How dare I lie to Commander Yun? If Marquis Hushan had not gone too far by attacking my flagship first, how would I have dared to kill a marquis of the third class of the Imperium? What good would it do me? Am I not afraid of the Song family's thunderous vengeance after this?
"If I had lied to Commander Yun about that, I would have pissed off the Song family and the Yun family at the same time. Then, would there be any place for me in the vast sea of stars? Commander Yun, you must be wise! "
"Huh …"
Unmoved, Yun Xuefeng said gloomily, "But that's not what Song Yushi said. Some of Song Changlie's subordinates escaped. Their story was the opposite of yours. They all claimed that you attacked first and tried to swallow Song Changlie's fleet!"
"Of course they said that. Were they telling the truth that they were going to instigate a large batch of starships to escape only to be killed in the end?"
Boss Bai was almost cutting his chest open and showing his internal organs to Yun Xuefeng. "Commander Yun, nobody has solid evidence right now, but please consider it with common sense. Whose words are more reasonable, me or Song Changlie's subordinates? Was I really crazy enough to swallow a marquess of the Imperium for no good reason and get myself killed by the way? That doesn't make any sense at all! "
Pondering for a long time, Yun Xuefeng still could not figure out what was going on. Rather upset, he said, "I know that the Immortal Cultivators of the Song family are used to being arrogant and domineering, especially this Song Changlie of Marquess Hushan. Everybody knows that he is disobedient. I don't believe that you are bold enough to piss him off.
"However, this is a serious matter. After all, a marquess of the Imperium was killed by his' allies'. Song Yushi demanded that I give him an explanation. Otherwise, the morale of the army might be shaken, and the alliance of a million starships might fall apart immediately. Therefore …"
"Marshal Snow, this subordinate is a rough person who doesn't know the rules. I just say what I think. If I say something wrong, I hope Marshal Snow won't take offense."
Boss Bai swallowed, as if he had made up his mind, and said straightforwardly and straightforwardly, "In fact, the coalition army of the four families attacked the Seven Seas Space Zone on the surface, but in fact, they each had their own plans.. especially those of the Song family never intended to let Commander Yun win the battle comfortably since the very beginning..
"If Commander Yun wins the battle unstoppably, the prestige of Commander Yun and the Yun family will soar ten times. Then, how can the Song family compete with the Yun family in the competition for the throne of the emperor?
"Therefore, the Song family will certainly try to argue with Commander Yun and create all kinds of troubles for Commander Yun with all kinds of excuses.
"The conflict between me and Song Changlie is certainly a very good excuse, but they can still find other excuses even without it!
"Isn't it easy to cause some friction when a million starships are mixed together? I even suspect that Song Changlie intentionally caused friction under Song Yushi's order, but things went out of control in the end and he got himself burned.
"All in all, the Song family is stirring up trouble right now because they do not want to join Commander Yun's side and obey your command, right? If my guess is correct, there shouldn't be many warships from the Song family around Commander Yun right now. All the starships of the Song family have fled far away and are independent, haven't they? "
The more Boss Bai talked, the more excited he became. He did not notice Yun Xuefeng's face that was more and more gloomy.
"How dare you!"
The dark clouds on Yun Xuefeng's face finally exploded as he roared.
Boss Bai shuddered on the other side of the light beam. As if he had not realized that he had crossed the line until now, he apologized in a hurry, "Please forgive my rudeness, Commander Yun. I have always been loyal to Commander Yun. I can testify to that! What I'm saying is that the people of the Song family are unreliable in any case. Only the Yun family's own subordinates, Marquess Yongchun's fleet, and my National Protection Army are the forces that Commander Yun can absolutely trust. Please take a look, Commander Yun. This is the combat ability that Marquess Yongchun and I have gathered in the past day. "
Boss Bai sent the data of most of the starships that had been gathered under his command recently. The dense numbers and the names of the starships occupied the entire light beam and were still increasing.
Of course, most of the warships of the "Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs" were hidden.
"So many!"
Yun Xuefeng was rather surprised. His fury turned into delight.
"There weren't so many in the beginning, but after we sank 'Tiger Roar', the starships under Marquess Hushan's command naturally joined our side."
Boss Bai said, "Commander Yun, if we hadn't taken action at that time, at least 90% of the starships here would've been taken away by Marquess Hushan to increase the strength of the Song family. How could we face Commander Yun with the remaining 10% of the starships? In the end, the Song family's strength would've been much greater than the Yun family's on the battlefield. Then, who would've acknowledged Commander Yun as their 'commander' except for the loyal guys like us? "
"Well …"
The moment Yun Xuefeng thought of Song Yushi's arrogance just now, fury was burning all the way from his feet to his head.
The Song family was too outrageous for internal strife when the enemy was right in front of them!
"Commander Yun, there's something else that I don't know if I should say. In fact, there is a truth that is undeniable in both the space pirates and the world of Immortal Cultivators. 'Victory is justice'."
Observing his face, Boss Bai said to Yun Xuefeng, "Considering the situation right now, the friction between you and Song Yushi has been brought to the surface. If you fail in the battle, or if you drag it out and suffer heavy casualties, the Song family will not be satisfied no matter how you explain it to Song Yushi, even if you chop off your subordinate's head and give it to Song Yushi as a ball, and they will still hold Commander Yun accountable.
"After all, how much is my dirty and stinky head worth? Do Song Yushi and the leadership of the Song family really care about it? Their real target is not your subordinates but Commander Yun and the Yun family!
"Then, how can Commander Yun compromise in order to satisfy Song Yushi and even the entire Song family? Do you have to ask the member of the royal family supported by the Song family to be the emperor in order to resolve the influence of the incident? Could Marshal Yun bear such a price? Could the Yun family bear such a price?
"On the other hand, if Commander Yun can win the battle neatly and unstoppably, who will attack Commander Yun with such trivia? Song Changlie, Marquess Hushan, flinched in the battle and was executed by Commander Yun on the spot, which greatly boosted the morale of the army. That was why the glorious victory was secured. If that were the case, it would be the Song family that would be caught in a passive situation. It would be Song Yushi's turn to explain why the Immortal Cultivators of the Song family were all cowards! "
"Enough!"
Yun Xuefeng's eyes became extremely deep, like swamps where venom was surging. He made up his mind immediately, but he waved his hands and interrupted Boss Bai. "I have my own ideas on what to do. It's not your place to tell me what to do!"
"Yes, yes. I was too concerned about you. I was too talkative."
Boss Bai lowered his head deeply. "Commander Yun's plan is flawless. You have seen through the messy battle and are confident of your victory. All I need to do is to pledge my loyalty and obey Commander Yun's orders. Why would you need my pig brain to solve Commander Yun's problems?"
"I did not realize that you are such a talent, Bai Xingjian. It seems that you do have some real talents after rising in the circle of bloody space pirates in only a few years. It is too unfair for you to only be the commander of the 'National Protection Army'!"
Looking at Boss Bai thoughtfully, Yun Xuefeng asked, "Where are you right now? How long will it take for you to join 'Landslide'?"
While talking, Yun Xuefeng sent his coordinates over.
Thoughtful brilliance beamed out of Boss Bai's eyes as he said, "If everything goes well, I will arrive at Commander Yun's side in twelve hours at most. However …"
Yun Xuefeng raised his eyebrow. "However what?"
"However, I would like to know, should I run into the starships of the four families on my way, especially the starships that are fleeing to the edge of the space zone under the Song family's control, how should I deal with them?"
Boss Bai said, "Should we … bring them here together? What if they resist as fiercely as Marquis Hushan? "
Yun Xuefeng was silent for a long time, as if he were covered in an invisible shadow.
"Of course we should bring them here together. Are they jumping to the Seven Seas Space Zone from afar just to watch the tigers fight?"
Yun Xuefeng said coldly, "As for the fierce resistance, hehe. It's up to you. Like you said just now, victory is justice!"
…
"Yun Xuefeng's coordinates have been found!"
Soon after Yun Xuefeng and Boss Bai talked, exclamations burst out in the command center of the garrison fleet of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors in the central district of the Seven Seas Grand Market.
The holographic map of the space zone that covered the entire command center was already filled with dense red and blue spots of light. They were the icons of the starships on both sides that had been scanned.
A lot of red and blue spots of light were entangled and flashing briefly, indicating that those starships were engaged in a heated battle.
Touching those light spots with telepathic thoughts softly, one could receive astronomical information, which was the real-time dynamic data on the battlefield.
In the past, Li Yao had mostly charged at the frontline of the battlefield in space as a sharp dagger. He had only observed the changes of the battle from a very narrow perspective. He had barely stayed in the command center comfortably and observed the entire battlefield from the perspective of the big picture. For a moment, he felt rather uneasy because he was too idle.
