A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 353 - 275: United Combat_1

Chapter 353: Chapter 275: United Combat_1

To be honest, Duanmu Huai doesn’t hold much hope for Rebecca and Sherry’s research plan.

If this thing, as they say, truly is the Imu Energy from under the earth, then it means the depths of this planet are full of such substance. If Rebecca and Sherry can’t find a solution to completely eliminate this thing, then Duanmu Huai will have no choice but to issue an extinction order.

As for the remaining population… he could negotiate with that nomadic merchant and get him to transport these people to the Guardian Star System. After all, what the Guardians lack most right now is population. If they can get a new batch from this planet, it would be a decent choice.

Of course, no one would like to be reliant on others. Transporting these people to the Guardians’ planet might lead to conflicts for various reasons – but that wouldn’t be the Tribunal’s problem anymore.

Unless a heretic stirs trouble, that is.

Of course, Duanmu Huai does have principles. Just like a doctor who doesn’t give up on a patient until the very last moment, he won’t abandon this planet until Rebecca and Sherry give up. If they do, then Duanmu Huai will have to “pull the plug”.

...

Forget it, this isn’t important.

The real objective for Duanmu Huai is the military training!

According to the Night Guard’s report, after battling with the beast race, the Star Realm Army’s proficiency in tactics and combat has improved significantly, reaching acceptable levels, and now all that remains is the final test.

Basically, a large-scale battle to determine if they qualify.

Unfortunately, with the current underground environment, organizing a war with tens of thousands of soldiers is probably impossible.

However, despite the challenges, the harsh underground environment has helped the Star Realm Army master small team tactics.

That’s enough. In fact, Duanmu Huai already has the next training location for the Star Realm Army in mind… Attacking the beast race is just a minor skirmish for them, nothing major. The only purpose of it is to let them coordinate and practice in actual combat. However, this isn’t the entirety of the cosmic warfare. To be honest, most of the time, cosmic warfare isn’t fought this way.

Unless every alien race enjoys digging holes underground like the beast race, most of the time, cosmic warfare is more about fleet battles, torpedo attacks, and orbital bombardment.

Training in the underground against the beast race does help the Star Realm Army adapt to fighting in narrow environments. Afteral,l in future boarding operations, most battles will take place within the confined interiors of warships. They must learn to face potential omnipresent enemies and traps.

On the surface, they don’t need to worry too much because the warship will control the orbital dominance, and if they lose that, they’re basically doomed. Of course, they still need large-scale war experiences, not just minor skirmishes.

However, not right now.

“Beep, beep, beep….”

Just then, a communication alert interrupted Duanmu Huai’s thoughts. Shortly after, Mia’s languid voice emerged.

“Ahhh, master… hello… we just received a message from the base, saying that a representative from the Wei’an Government Alliance wishes to meet with you… ”

“Oh?”

On hearing this, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brow.

“I see, activate the holographic communication device.”

“Understood…”

The communication screen flickered, and an agile middle-aged man appeared on the screen. Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, his face turned pale almost instantly. He even inadvertently stepped back, bumping into the guard behind him before awkwardly regaining his composure and forcing a smile.

“Greetings, your honor, the Judge, I am a representative from the Wei’an Government Alliance… ”

“What do you want? Get straight to the point.”

Duanmu Huai, not in the mood for small talk, decisively interrupted the man’s lengthy introduction. The man flinched, but continued to speak.

“Actually, our Wei’an Government Alliance is planning a large-scale underground operation to completely exterminate the beast race… Knowing that the Tribunal has exceptional capabilities in this regard, we were hoping to invite you to join the Wei’an Government Alliance in this ‘Valley Storm’ operation. The details are in the file.”

As he spoke, the envoy handed over a document, and Duanmu Huai frowned in response. He had assumed that the Wei’an Government Alliance would keep their distance, considering the Tribunal’s growing power. Now, their approaching him appeared nothing short of a desperate plea for assistance… had something happened to the Wei’an Government Alliance recently that forced them to change their plans?

In fact, Duanmu Huai’s guess was not incorrect.

After the previous light bombing operation, the Wei’an Government Alliance enjoyed a brief period of triumph. However, their jubilation was short-lived. The outbreak of disease quickly depleted the prestige they had so laboriously acquired. As if that weren’t enough, before the Wei’an Government Alliance could find a cure for the plague, they encountered a new problem – large numbers of abandoned cities nearby vanished overnight. Once investigators returned from the field with startling news, the Wei’an Government Alliance was taken aback.

The beast race was using some method to hollow out the ground near Jasindu!

The only reason the Wei’an Government Alliance had managed to hold off the beast race wasn’t due to their strength but the thick granite layer beneath the Jasindu Plateau, effectively blocking the beasts’ tunnelling attempts. Now, the beasts had invented a new strategy – if they couldn’t penetrate the granite, they would hollow out all surrounding areas instead! Once that happened, the Jasindu Plateau, granite protection or not, would be doomed!

Upon learning this, the Wei’an Government Alliance was stunned. Given the circumstances, they were compelled to devise a plan to thwart the beasts’ activities. If the beasts managed to hollow out the areas surrounding the Jasindu Plateau, the plateau itself would be doomed!

Despite their reluctance, the Wei’an Government Alliance had no choice but to seek the Tribunal’s assistance in the ‘Valley Storm’ operation – a plan aimed at penetrating deep into the underground beast race lair!

Yes, this was basically a move to distract the enemy from the Wei’an Government’s main force. If the beasts were attacking their base, they would attack the beasts’ in return. With their base under threat, could the beasts afford not to defend it?

Were they turning all their tactics on their head?

After reviewing the plan, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. He now understood why the alliance had the audacity to ask for their help. The most important part of this plan was to make the beast race’s hive feel threatened and thereby summon back their kind who were digging holes elsewhere. This made sense; even if a child got into a fight with a brawny man, the latter wouldn’t ignore it.

Wouldn’t that be too shameful?

Considering the current strength of the Wei’an Government Alliance, it’s hard to impose enough threats on the beast race’s hive. The only one capable of achieving this would be the Tribunal.

However….

“How did you guys manage to find out the location of the Beast Race’s nest?”

Duanmu Huai stared at the marked map in the document and furrowed his brow. In fact, Duanmu Huai had always contemplated the idea of exterminating the Beast Race. Particularly after discovering this plague, the idea was more vehement than ever. It would be a double battle if this bunch of beasts were to be infected by the plague!

It would be better to wipe out all these beasts to eliminate future problems.

So, Duanmu Huai has been having the Star Realm Army search for the lair of the Beast Race. Unluckily, this cave is really tough to chew on, and no leads have been found yet.

And the Wei’an Government Alliance actually has the exact location of the Beast Race’s lair?

How did they manage to obtain it?

“…..I’m not sure either. It’s a top-level secret of the Wei’an Government Alliance and was decrypted by the joint president himself…”

“Heh.”

Upon hearing it, Duanmu Huai chuckled. In truth, even before that, Rebecca and Sherry reported to him that they found several records and materials concerning biological modifications in the biological lab they took over. These instruments demanded by biology are all similar; it just depends on whether you’re using them for the good of humans or for evil purposes.

Though the records were incomplete, Duanmu Huai only took a glance to see that these creatures from the Beast Race were probably the creations of human modification.

Yup, it is not the first time he’s seen something like this.

Now, looking at how the Wei’an Government Alliance even had the exact location of their lair, it was far too obvious. It’s impossible for Duanmu Huai to believe that they have no relationship with these beasts.

But that is not the issue now from Duanmu Huai’s perspective.

“I understand, the Tribunal will take action.”

“That… Especially great…!!”

When they heard Duanmu Huai’s reply, the envoy’s face immediately showed a look of relief, like he was pardoned.

“This is great news, with the Tribunal’s involvement, we can visualize a bright future. I’m sorry, but I need to rush back and convey this great news to the joint president, I’m sure he’ll be thrilled….”

As he finished speaking, the envoy bowed and exited the screen, then swiftly disappeared with his guards.

What’s there to fear? I’m not going to eat him.

Seeing the representative’s hasty exit, Duanmu Huai snorted. He couldn’t understand why so many people feel so good about themselves in front of him, acting as though they were all tender skinned beauties, afraid of being violated by a cannibal like him. For fuck’s sake! Even being a cannibal, he would choose pork belly, and wouldn’t eat these greasy scraps!

Don’t they realize how ugly they are, thinking too highly of themselves?

They’re truly shameless caricatures.

“My lord…!”

Just then, with a sharp scream, Duanmu Huai saw a petite figure flash down from the sky and pounce on him.

“What are you doing?”

“I was having a meeting, got some stuff to do.”

“Are you going to fight again?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s reply, Bambi pouted discontentedly.

“Bambi thinks that it’s not fun to fight.”

“But that’s the Tribunal’s job.”

Duanmu Huai patted Bambi’s little head, but Bambi looked even more unhappy. She doesn’t especially like moving around, but mostly, she lacks enthusiasm for fights —— Yes, considering her vampire identity, this is truly an interesting contradiction.

“Thud.”

However, at this very moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt a light impact from behind. He turned his head and saw Ogis imitating Bambi, lying on his back and hugging his neck.

Then, she wrinkled her brow slightly, looking at Bambi with a puzzled expression.

“Is this comfortable?”

“…….??”

Bambi was briefly surprised by Ogis’s question, then she chuckled.

“Bambi can fly!”

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was rendered utterly speechless.
