Chapter 459: Nonsensical Speech

And just as that set of coordinates was exposed on the broadcast channel, a large number of factions hiding in the dark were triggered.

Raymond's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Black Pupil Fleet on the Holographic Screen. Since the coordinates had already been leaked, they could use direct methods to detect that area.

With the coordinate location leaked in advance, it was basically very difficult for any fleet to continue hiding.

"Haha, I didn't expect that kid to still be in No Man's Land." Ted's projection appeared as usual.

If any unexpected situations occurred during the operation, the two supreme Commanders needed to communicate before taking the next step.

However, this time, besides his own projection, there were two other projections: Donovan and Dark Star. He looked at the two and said:

"You are both experts in dealing with Li Yu, but I'm afraid you won't have any use this time. Under these circumstances, he will definitely become the primary target of focused fire..."

Ted made a speculation based on normal circumstances.

But then he thought of the face-slapping situation during the last great battle between The Council and Returning Star. He paused his tone and looked at Donovan again: "What do you think this time?"

"There are quite a few factions present who have a grudge against him. If they just casually give him a shot, he won't be able to bear it."

However, Donovan didn't think for too long before giving his answer: "Useless."

He was concise and comprehensive, then immediately continued: "The current situation definitely won't stump him. My suggestion is to focus fire immediately; there's still a possibility of killing him."

Damn, Dark Star's eyebrows twitched violently, and he looked at this Four-Armed Titan with a strange gaze.

Who is this big brother? Why does he have so much confidence in Li Yu? Could he also be a Spy sent in?

Donovan noticed his gaze, so he also looked over.

He's the person specifically meant to deal with Li Yu?

He doesn't look like anything special, seems to be Li Yu's very first enemy. I wonder which idiot sent him here.

Their gazes crossed, each with their own calculations in their hearts.

Raymond raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately shook his head in denial: "No!"

The words Ted was about to say were swallowed back into his stomach. He looked at Raymond, whose reaction was quite intense.

Raymond's expression flickered slightly, and his tone calmed down as he said: "Taking the initiative to attack brings us no benefits. A dead Li Yu has no value to us."

"If we let other factions act, we might even expose more coordinates, which would be beneficial to us instead."

Ted also nodded and said: "Raymond is right. The price offered by those great Nobles is not low. It would be a pity to kill that guy directly."

Then, he looked at Dark Star and said: "And you, what's your opinion?"

"Mm, I think what this Your Excellency said makes a lot of sense." Dark Star didn't say much but echoed Donovan's suggestion.

"Nonsense!" Ted shook his head. He had thought this person specifically brought in to deal with Li Yu could say something valuable.

……

"Li Yu...!"

In the Pantheon, Reinhardt's eyes flickered. If you asked which faction hated Li Yu to the point of Gnashing Her Teeth, Meditation was definitely at the forefront.

The Heart of the Titan was originally a must-have for Meditation, but Li Yu snatched it halfway.

Most importantly, Reinhardt wasn't sure if that important deduction of his had been learned by the other party.

"Chief, this is a good opportunity. A strike from the Myriad Gods can definitely crush that guy to powder," his subordinate suggested.

"No..." Reinhardt shook his head: "We cannot act rashly. Once we launch an attack, our coordinates will also fall into the eyes of others."

"I don't want to become the second faction in this Star Sector to expose our coordinates."

More importantly, their Meditation Research Institute couldn't compare to Salvation Ark, couldn't compare to Abyss.

Those factions didn't even need their Leaders to come out to fight for Gensokyo, but Meditation couldn't. With insufficient Strength, they could only play all their trump cards.

But no matter how much price was paid, as long as they could successfully obtain Gensokyo, it would be worth it.

As long as they got Gensokyo, they would have a perfect Base, and would never again have to carefully cultivate Artificial Gods in Remote Star Systems.

They could completely Recharge and Recuperate, wait to return to their peak, and even far surpass their peak before coming back.

This time was even more crucial than getting the Heart of the Titan; it was the opportunity for Meditation's rise, and there could be no mistakes.

He didn't want to be exposed right at the beginning.

………

"He is Li Yu?" In a certain hidden Starry Sky, a lifeform with a peculiar appearance looked at the image projected by the Underworld Lantern Insect, seemingly unconcerned:

"I wonder how the Dimensional Camp compares to our Abyss Institute?"

"This time, we might just be able to see for ourselves."

………

The other factions had their own reactions. Although they all secretly used some small methods to prevent Li Yu from escaping.

But no one took the lead to launch a real attack.

"They are also afraid that their coordinates will be exposed to the others, becoming the second target of focused fire." Horus keenly guessed the thoughts of the major factions.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Good guy, they're actually playing by the Dark Forest Law.

Codri shook his head and said: "This situation won't last long. Once someone launches an attack, the other factions that have a grudge against you will definitely follow suit."

Li Yu also knew this problem. The current stalemate was only temporary. Once someone couldn't hold back and started attacking, a storm-like assault would follow.

Even factions that had no grudge against him might step in.

After thinking for a moment, he said deeply: "They probably don't know that the two of you are in the fleet."

"We can lead you to fight our way out right now. Are you going to abandon the entire fleet?" Horus asked in return.

Li Yu fell silent. Hunter and the others were still here; how could he possibly abandon the entire fleet?

Codri urged: "We can't drag this out. Quickly make a decision; otherwise, once we are besieged, we won't be able to protect you either!"

His meaning was for Li Yu to quickly call the Dimensional Camp to see if they had a way. If not, they should run quickly.

A Black Pupil Fleet, if it's lost, it's lost. It's no big deal. Don't hesitate here.

"It seems I'll have to say a few words." Li Yu shook his head and said words that puzzled the two of them.

It's coming, it's coming. The Hunter nearby felt his breath catch; that familiar feeling welled up in his heart. Li Yu's outrageous operation was coming.

Li Yu walked up to the Command Console, turned the regional broadcast range to maximum, then picked up the mini microphone, coughed dryly twice, and asked: "Everyone, can you hear me?"

"What is he doing?" Codri looked at Horus in confusion.

Shouldn't he be contacting the Dimensional Camp now? Why is he getting ready to give a speech?

Horus remained silent, coolly crossing his arms, looking like he had a well-thought-out plan, but actually his heart was also filled with confusion.

What kind of Unexpected Trouble is this guy going to cause again?

The leaders of the many factions also felt it was strange. Instead of thinking about how to escape from the siege, he started communicating on the broadcast channel.

Could it be that he wanted to convince everyone with just a few words?

Seeing that no one on the broadcast channel paid attention to him, Li Yu didn't mind and continued:

"My name is Li Yu. You should be more or less familiar with this name."

"I was careless today and was ambushed by some Bastard hiding in the dark. Although many of you want to capture me."

"But, I still have a few words I want to say..."

Li Yu paused, and then spoke: "Everyone, think about what you are here for. It's to snatch Gensokyo..."

"What does that have to do with me? You're not here to snatch me, are you?"

"The Bastard hiding in the dark truly has sinister intentions. They clearly want to use me to provoke unnecessary battles to consume everyone's vital forces."

"So, those of you who want to attack me, there's absolutely no need to rush, nor do you need to waste your own Strength. Everyone will have plenty of opportunities in the future; I'm not going to vanish into thin air."

"But the appearance of Gensokyo is a one-time opportunity. Once missed, it's gone. Better save your Strength."

"..."

…………

Li Yu was still giving his speech. He used the item [Chaotic Speech] that he had just obtained a few days ago. This thing could make the nonsense he spouted sound reasonable and gain others' trust.

And his speech just now was full of various loopholes.

Horus and Codri Look at Each Other in Dismay.

The content of Li Yu's speech was entirely about explaining the unreasonableness of attacking him.

And these two people had no desire to attack him at all, so they weren't moved by Li Yu's speech.

"Is he crazy?" Codri frowned and said. What was all this talk? Which sentence was worth pondering over?

What does it have to do with you? Of course it has nothing to do with you, but killing you in advance won't get in the way either.

Absolutely no need to attack you? So what if we do attack.

And saying you won't disappear but Gensokyo will. But the problem is, even if they attack you, it won't consume too much Strength, right?

Raymond and the others shared the same feeling of Speechless. They had the beautiful idea of sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight and had no intention of acting either, so they were equally bewildered by the reasons Li Yu stated.

You want to use such reasons to persuade those who are prepared to attack you?

Whoever believes you is an idiot, right?

Only Donovan frowned tightly and muttered a few sentences: "Why do I feel like what he said makes quite a lot of sense."

This guy had the thought of attacking, so he was quite convinced by the reasons Li Yu explained.

Dark Star was closer to him and, upon hearing this, immediately looked at this guy with a strange look.

Is there something wrong with this person's brain?

He can feel that these nonsense words make sense?

Similarly, some factions that were just watching the excitement and didn't plan to act felt the same way. Some even let out mocking laughs, believing Li Yu had broken down in the face of this pressure.

"No matter how great the reputation, it can't compare to seeing it with your own eyes. This is the Hero character praised by Returning Star?"

"And he could still capture the Star Glory Empire's A-Tier Lifeform like this?"

"..."

Meanwhile, Reinhardt fell into deep thought. He inexplicably felt that what Li Yu said made a lot of sense. Now was indeed not a good time to attack him.

Their target was Gensokyo. Before obtaining Gensokyo, it was best not to Branches Grow Outside the Main Branch.

After finishing the speech, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the two people whose eyes revealed various complex emotions, he then ordered the Hunter: "Prepare to Warp and leave here."

"No one should want to attack us now."

The Hunter remained very calm in the face of such a scene. With an expression as Light as Wind and Cloud, he began to issue commands: "Notify all warships to synchronize orbits and prepare to enter Warp."

"Your Excellency Zeth, the Space Blocking Devices..." The soldiers sitting at the operation consoles naturally didn't dare to criticize Li Yu's actions; they just wanted to remind them that it was difficult to just leave now.

"Huh, the Space Blocking Devices have been removed, and the Warp Interceptors are gone too," the soldier nearby said in shock.

"Could it be a Trap?" A soldier cautiously reminded.

"Follow my command, prepare to enter the Jump State." The Hunter naturally couldn't be bothered to explain so much and forcefully repeated the command.

"Yes!"

The many soldiers didn't dare to slack off and quickly operated.

As the Black Pupil Fleet turned into streaks of Flowing Light and smoothly entered the Jump State, Horus's and Codri's gazes, which originally looked at him like he was an idiot, became incredibly stunned.

What happened?

Where's the interception?

Where are the Traps?

Where are the attacks?

You guys just watched helplessly as we left?

Horus and Codri exchanged a glance, and the same few words surfaced in their hearts simultaneously——

These people were actually fucking persuaded!?

Those factions believed those nonsensical reasons?

At the same time, Raymond and the others were also in a state of bewilderment.

Ted stared with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief: "Th-They just let him go like that?"

"No one really attacked?"

Raymond clenched his fists, also feeling a sense of absurdity. Something must be wrong.

It couldn't be because of a few nonsensical reasons, right?

Among the Abyss fleet, the leader was equally stunned. "They just left?"

"This escape was too easy, right?"

The many factions that were prepared to watch the excitement fell into confusion and bewilderment, watching helplessly as the Black Pupil Fleet vanished before them.

Those who were previously mocking Li Yu loudly seemed to have been choked by the neck, unable to utter a single word... their eyes wide open.

Th... this, he actually succeeded in bluffing his way out?

And those factions that originally planned to act, at this moment, a thought spontaneously popped into all their minds——

"What Li Yu said seems to make quite a bit of sense. Now is indeed not the time to attack him."

"Anyway, he won't disappear; it's better to wait a bit longer!"

Although the entire Star Sector was originally dead silent, with the departure of the Black Pupil Fleet, it fell into another kind of silence.
