Chapter 2917: Speaker of the Federation Is Here!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the geosynchronous...o...b..t of the No. 4 planet, a torrent of magma appeared. Thousands of stars.h.i.+ps were savaging their own power units at the same time. On the basis of overloading, they squeezed out 120% of their speed and charged at the enemy at an overwhelming speed.
In the front of the raging tides, a red comet, mixed with an apocalyptic aura, was attacking, attacking, and attacking. Not only was it far ahead of all the other stars.h.i.+ps of the federal army, it was also going to be the first to march into the s.h.i.+vering battle formation of the Heaven’s Return Fleet before Bai Xinghe’s ‘Arson Fleet’.
At a closer look, the so-called red comet seemed to be a drop of water condensed by flames. With dozens of propellers in the same shape, it was moving at 1% of the speed of light.
When all the fuel was burnt out and the speed reached the limit, the sh.e.l.l of the
red water droplet suddenly collapsed and turned into countless helical streaks of brightness, splas.h.i.+ng everywhere. A burning dragon rushed out of the broken water droplet and soared into the sky, revealing its true self in the sea of stars. It was the ‘Great Fire Dragon Sparrow’, the giant soldier that Li Yao had once slain and was now commanded by Ding Lingdang! After a hundred years of hard work, not only was the giant soldier not worn or corroded, it had also been modified with the most cutting-edge technology of the federation as well as a lot of advanced magical equipment components, which made it even more intimidating. The biggest difference between Ding Lingdang and Li Yao was that Ding Lingdang was more of a ‘body fundamentalist’ who valued combat more than anything else and despised the use of blades or guns. She had poured all her time and effort into the arms of the Fire Dragon Sparrow and modified them to be twice as thick as those of the Giant G.o.d Soldier. She was truly like a furious gorilla. Dense attack rune arrays were carved on the iron arms that were as thick as the main guns of a stars.h.i.+p. Even if they were not triggered, countless burning dragons seemed to be crawling on them. Taking a deep breath, Ding Lingdang gazed at the scattered, somewhat disordered brilliance not far away. They were the spiritual s.h.i.+elds and power units of the fleet that were making hasty reactions. Right now, there was no power among the stars that could stop her from blowing up the heads of the sc.u.mbags. Ding Lingdang was immersed in a very subtle feeling, as if she could hear a battle hymn from the depths of her body in the silent vacuum. She heard the sound of blood rus.h.i.+ng through her veins like a flood, the sound of bioelectricity rus.h.i.+ng through her neural network, the sound of her internal organs craving for food, the sound of her fighting will boiling deep inside her brain, and the sound of her violent nature, which had been hibernating for a long time, gradually waking up!
Maybe because of a freak combination of factors, she had been the Speaker of Parliament of the federation for so many years. Sitting in the parliament and her office all day long, her fighting will had been suppressed to the minimum. She was like a dam full of cracks that was about to collapse.
Maybe it was because she missed Li Yao more than anything else, but the news that Li Yao’s fate was still unknown made every muscle and every bone in her body restless. She needed to vent her anger on a few unlucky guys.
Or maybe, it was the right thing to say. For a Cultivator, or rather, any proud human warrior, there was nothing more important than to be clear about one’s belief. Only by resonating with one’s belief at the deepest level could one trigger the power of the source of life beyond one’s mother’s level, beyond one’s mother’s rules, and beyond one’s mother’s core, Nascent Soul, and even Divinity Transformation!
“AHHHHHHHHH!”
Ding Lingdang’s pair of eyes were completely filled with flames. Her honey-colored skin was also covered in sparkling cracks that looked like fiery dragons. It was as if a brand-new, furiously burning, glittering version of her was about to break out of her sh.e.l.l. An unprecedented strength was like a flood that had broken through a dam. From every cell, every nerve, every vein, every drop of blood, and every pore, it madly surged out. Through the Spiritual Abode, it transmitted to every joint and every piece of plate armor of the Giant G.o.d Soldier. It had the most perfect reaction with the battle glyphs left from the primeval era of hundreds of thousands of years ago. Incredible ripples surged out. It was as if the brightness of a red comet had suddenly increased by a hundredfold, becoming the most dazzling center of the entire battlefield!
Ding Lingdang roared, laughed, and burst into flames. Her arms that looked like the main guns of a stars.h.i.+p crashed into each other brutally like two shooting stars. Invisible ripples spread out to millions of kilometers nearby at the speed of light. All the stars.h.i.+ps on both sides were blown away by the ripples.
“Ding Lingdang, Speaker of Parliament of the Star Glory Federation, is here. Who wants to fight me to the death?”
For a moment, the entire universe was eclipsed. All the stars.h.i.+ps were silent, as if they had been frozen in the vacuum by her roar.
Half a second later, the soldiers and Cultivators of the federation who had recovered from their bewilderment all burst into the most enthusiastic cheers and the most furious roars in response to their leader with their soul and their life.
Regardless of whether Ding Lingdang took the initiative to attack or not, this… was a cultivator!
Encouraged by Ding Lingdang, the thousands of wars.h.i.+ps of the Star Glory Federation that had been rus.h.i.+ng at the highest speed suddenly accelerated by 5% as if they had been injected with the most powerful stimulant. Not only were there thousands of galloping horses, they were also like rabid dogs that had been tied up with crystal bombs and were desperate to perish together with their enemy.
More ‘comets’ appeared behind Ding Lingdang. The high-speed a.s.sault capsules that carried the Giant G.o.d Soldiers were flas.h.i.+ng, too. Thousands of pieces were spluttering. The magnificent Giant G.o.d Soldiers were tearing the vacuum apart and s.h.i.+ning brilliantly.
“Cultivator Peng Hai is here. Who wants to fight me to the death!?”
“Ancient Saint Yan Li is here. Whoever comes up first will be killed!”
“I, the Fire Ant King of the demon race, beg you, heroes of the sea of stars, for a fight!”
Their battle cries spread out in the sea of stars through dozens of common frequencies.
The most barbaric charge of the barbarian army had begun.
Compared to the morale of the federal army, the entire fleet was dead silent. All the n.o.ble Immortal Cultivators were lost and could not believe their ears.
“Ding Lingdang, Speaker of Parliament of the Star Glory Federation, is here. Who wants to fight me to the death?”
Are you kidding me? How is that possible? The so-called Speaker of Parliaments should be a leader of a military nation on par with the four electors or even the emperor, shouldn’t he? How could such an important leader lead the charge and even lead the entire fleet like a fearless general?
This was too stupid, too absurd, too… unreasonable!
There must be a plot! There must be a trap! This—this is not real! Definitely not!
The families of the four electors did not have much information about the Star Glory Federation. They had only collected sc.r.a.ps of information. There was only one sentence about ‘Speaker of the Federation Ding Lingdang’. It was said that she was the only one in the sea of stars who could make ‘Black Wind King’ beg for mercy.
At first, many n.o.bles were skeptical. The bravery and brutality of ‘Black Wind King Li Yao’ were known by all the citizens of the imperium. Even Wu Yingqi, the Black Star Emperor, had been killed by him. How could there be someone who could make him beg for mercy in such a remote area?
He had thought that the frog in the well at the edge of the sea of stars was boasting and talking nonsense.
He didn’t know until he saw it with his own eyes today!
“Where did this crazy woman come from? She is merely a Giant G.o.d Soldier, and yet she dares to a.s.sault our battle formation. Doesn’t she know that, if we hold our position and fire our cannons at the same time, she will definitely be blown into pieces before her main troops arrive?” “Is she really the Speaker of Parliament of the federation? How can she be so brutal? It’s—it’s a joke. It doesn’t make any sense at all!”
“With so many Giant G.o.d Soldiers and such intense flames, are they really from the remote areas of the sea of stars? How can there be so many of them? They are almost as many as us!”
“What–what—what are those rabid dogs, those barbarians, and those Cultivators who are not scared of death at all? What are they thinking? What good will it do for them to fight us until both of us are seriously wounded? The revolutionaries will benefit from it!”
From top to bottom of the fleet, all the n.o.ble Immortal Cultivators were scratching their hair and screaming hysterically. They could not believe their eyes and ears for a long time, nor did they know how to deal with the lunatics who had come out of nowhere.
Of course, it was not that n.o.body saw through the weakness of the federal expedition army.
It was true that many people pointed out that the crazy woman who called herself ‘Speaker of the Federation Ding Lingdang’ was still in the Divinity
Transformation Stage even though her aura was indeed intimidating. The Giant G.o.d Soldiers that she controlled were not the best of the best, either. Theoretically speaking, they were not invincible.
As for the enormous fleet that was rus.h.i.+ng close, although there were a lot of them, their formation had been greatly undermined after they charged forward at a high speed. It was not hard to tell that their teamwork was not very good, and their combat ability was not very good, either. Their average combat ability was not very high, either. They looked like a motley crew.
In other words, as long as the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector was united, a certain elite fleet would form a cone-shaped battle formation fearlessly and fight the enemy head-on. It was very likely that they would pierce through the enemy’s battle formation and even tear the enemy apart without caring about their head or tail.
100% true.
The only problem was how to make the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector ‘unite’ and whose sub-fleet would act as the ‘undaunted sacrifices’ so that the sharp edge of the cone-shaped battle formation could confront the crazy woman who was yelling and lunging at them.
“Brother is wise. Although the enemy is powerful, they are just a mob. One head-on charge is enough to crush the barbarians at the edge of the sea of stars! Then, since it is my suggestion, let the wars.h.i.+ps under my command be the vanguard and take the credit! Brother, lead the charge. I guarantee that I will follow you to the death and cover you with the strongest firepower!”
Such adulation and promises were echoing nonstop on the flags.h.i.+p of the main fleet and every branch fleet..
