Chapter 625: Arrogant Dragon Lord

"I don't understand what you two are talking about." After his panicked emotion, Marc forced himself to calm down.

Ever since Loyd appeared here, he had already known that there was no room to turn this matter around.

But even so, it was impossible for him to directly admit it and lay all his cards on the table.

However, he somewhat regretted it now. If he had known it would be this kind of situation, he should have notified the Forerunners to ambush a large number of powerhouses nearby and keep these two guys here.

Unfortunately, this was just a relatively peripheral planet of the Bados Civilization. There wasn't much power here, and it was fundamentally impossible to keep the other party.

"Your Excellency Marc, although you took the wrong path before, I believe you are a righteous person. If you abandon darkness for light in time now, you still have a chance to survive."

Li Yu stood up, his gaze looking down at Marc. This kind of posture was too arrogant and easily caused people to feel unhappy.

Marc felt exactly like this right now.Motherfucker, the battle hasn't even started yet, and the outcome is still unknown, yet you directly sentence me to death?

And what "chance to survive", who are you trying to Con?

"No matter what you want to do, I will fight to the bitter end!"

Marc spoke with impassioned generosity. The surrounding High-Level Lifeforms looked agitated, wishing they could follow their Leader to death immediately.

But in reality, he was already too deeply involved with the Forerunners. It was basically impossible for him to have a chance to be a traitor.

The only consequence of doing that would be being disliked by both sides simultaneously.

"Then there's nothing to talk about..." Li Yu shrugged, not caring either. "Let's go, Loyd, they don't want to talk."

Marc was Speechless inwardly. You guys weren't here to talk at all. You didn't look like you were negotiating in the slightest, pushing us to the brink of death at every turn.

Loyd felt he could no longer keep up with Li Yu's rhythm.

Why was it completely different from the plan formulated before coming here?

The biggest difficulty they faced now was insufficient information.

Where was the Forerunners' secret Base? How many powerful lifeforms were in there? Was the Titan Artifact stored there?

They knew absolutely nothing about this information. Even the Star Glory Empire wasn't certain. Most of what was given to Li Yu were guesses and fake news.

Their initial plan was to first make Marc feel uncertain and alarmed, then secretly observe his actions, and confirm this unknown information based on his actions.

The benefit of doing this was Proceeding Orderly, giving both sides enough time to receive information.

But Li Yu directly laid his cards on the table, directly telling Marc, we already know everything, let's start a war.

This was inconsistent with the plan, and also made Loyd very dissatisfied with Li Yu.

But now wasn't the time to talk about this matter. He could only temporarily suppress it in his heart and give Marc enough sense of oppression.

Leaving just like this?

Marc was somewhat Dumbfounded. Your attitude was so intense, threatening and intimidating. I thought a fight was about to break out immediately.

As a result, you guys are actually leaving?

Although he didn't know what Li Yu was plotting, not directly starting a war also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He still needed time to accept this matter and report it to the Forerunners behind him.

"Take care, everyone..." Marc said in a deep voice. Meanwhile, Nikas, whose emotions were originally very high, stopped speaking after Loyd appeared.

He even silently lowered his presence, already guessing that he had probably been set up by Li Yu.

Their trip this time was fundamentally not for the Morton Civilization, but rather they had been dragged into an even larger vortex.

He had a premonition that in this vortex, even he might be smashed to pieces at any moment.

The group's vehicle drove out of the border under the escort of the Bados fleet.

Under the other party's guarded and hostile gaze, they turned around and left, turning into Flowing Light and disappearing In the starry sky.

"What exactly are you doing? Why didn't you follow the plan?" Loyd questioned Li Yu immediately, his expression gloomy.

"It's just that I suddenly thought, if we follow the original plan it's truly too slow. Everyone might as well start a war directly." Li Yu said leisurely, standing in front of the porthole, looking at the brilliant colors resembling Flowing Light in the Jump Channel.

"Slow!?" Loyd inexplicably felt it was somewhat funny.

He still thinks it's slow?

Could it be that this kid is already certain he can win?

"The Abyss Institute is an extremely ancient faction. No one knows what kind of power is hidden in their Headquarters, and the Forerunners even more so." A dangerous light flickered in Loyd's eyes:

"With these two factions combined, no one can underestimate them. This kind of mentality of yours will make you fail miserably!"

Li Yu glanced at him, his tone inexplicable: "A mere Abyss Institute. If they know what's good for them and hide, that's fine. If they truly dare to appear before me..."

"Then I'll just casually wipe them out..."

Hearing Li Yu's words, Loyd suddenly had a Dumbfounded feeling in his heart.

This guy is way too arrogant. Why doesn't it quite match the data.

In his psychological profile, there was clearly a label of being quite cautious. Why is he so arrogant now, not even putting the Abyss Institute in his eyes.

Or is it that after the battle of the Benfir Civilization, his increasingly rising reputation has inflated his mentality to this extent?

If that's the case, he's not worth worrying about either.

No matter how much data there is on paper, that's only a person in theory.

Only after seeing them with one's own eyes can a concrete impression be formed in the heart.

Loyd shook his head secretly, feeling ashamed of the jealous mentality he had before.

Such an arrogant person is not worthy of his jealousy.

Thinking of this, the slight anger in his heart also disappeared.

This was originally a trap plan formulated for the Other-Dimensional Camp and the Forerunners.

Regardless of the process, as long as the final outcome achieved their goal, it would be fine. Let Li Yu toss and turn however he wants.

It just made him feel helpless that the Abyss Institute Headquarters really wasn't here.

This also meant that no matter how arrogant Li Yu was, the threat he ultimately faced was limited.

If only the Abyss Institute Headquarters was here, maybe this guy could really suffer a huge fall.

Loyd felt it was somewhat a pity.

"Since Your Excellency Li Yu already has a draft in your heart, I won't say much more. Just please notify me in advance if you temporarily change the plan." Loyd said indifferently.

Although Li Yu couldn't use The Force to observe Loyd's emotions, the changes in the other party's demeanor were still very obvious.

Why did this Old Fellow suddenly become calm and even-tempered?

Li Yu was somewhat confused, but didn't care either, instead asking: "Where is your fleet now? Haven't they arrived at the designated position yet?"

"Soon, but you've already exposed me in front of Marc. The fleet's surprise attack effect is mostly gone." Loyd shook his head.

Li Yu instructed: "No matter, have your people keep a close eye on Marc and the people around him recently. Notify me anytime there's any abnormal movement."

Loyd glanced at him and said coldly: "Okay, no problem."

Seeing the conversation between the two finally conclude, Nikas hesitantly walked up, pulled Li Yu to the side, and whispered:

"There shouldn't be anything else for me next, right? I'll take my Tribesmen and go back first."

"Figured it out?" Li Yu looked at Nikas with a half-smile.

Nikas cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he appeared very confused: "Figured what out?"

"Whatever you say..." Li Yu didn't say it directly, only saying: "Anyway, you've shown off a lot in front of Marc this time. He definitely won't forget you."

Hearing this, Nikas's glowing blue translucent skin instantly flickered, and he cursed Cursing Loudly in his heart.

Motherfucker, what kind of bad luck did I run into to get saddled with such a Ruthless and Exploitative Bastard.

Originally hearing he could bully Bados, he was still quite pleased. As a result, he was now Stuck.

He wasn't an idiot. Listening to Loyd and Li Yu's conversation, he knew there must be other factions behind the Bados Civilization.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Star Glory Empire to have to join forces with Li Yu.

A faction like that, playing him to death, would absolutely be no problem.

His expression flickered, and he could only say helplessly: "Forget it, since we're Friends after all, I'd better not leave yet. If there's any place you need me next, please instruct."

Leaving now would not only offend Bados, but he also wouldn't be able to pull Li Yu's tiger skin anymore. He could only stay and contribute some effort.

Let's see if this Bastard can wipe out Bados in one fell swoop. If he can, then his good days will come.

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but grin. Did he really think his tiger skin was so easy to pull?

.........

At the same time, after Marc sent Li Yu's group off, he hurriedly dismissed his attendants, went to the secret room, and activated the encrypted Smart Terminal.

After the white noise flickered, a figure appeared on the screen.

Marc didn't exchange too many pleasantries and said directly: "Something happened. Li Yu's arrival this time is also accompanied by Loyd. Their purpose is coming for you guys."

"What?" This news also made the other party somewhat Dumbfounded. The screen shook for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"Three minutes ago, Loyd was still talking in front of me. I suspect the Star Glory Empire's fleet is about to arrive. We need to prepare early." Marc's tone was hurried.

As the Leader of the Bados Civilization, and also the strongest person, although his Status hadn't reached the point of being on equal footing with the Forerunners, he still had some Prestige.

He wouldn't be ordered around like a Little Brother.

His opinion was worthy of attention. The other party pondered for a moment and said: "Don't be anxious first. The incident happened suddenly, we need to discuss it."

"They probably don't know our exact location, otherwise they would have directly started a war. This should be deliberate, wanting us to fall into a panic."

"But they have already confirmed the relationship between us. With the Strength of those two, finding out is only a matter of time."

Marc wasn't an idiot either. After Li Yu left, he came to a realization.

If the other party had already found out the location of the Forerunners' secret Base, they should have met on the battlefield instead of here.

The other party came to find him deliberately precisely because they hadn't found it. After intimidating him, they would see his next move.

But even if he figured it out, he had no solution.

The Forerunners weren't anxious or impatient, but he couldn't be. The Bados Civilization had no way to leave here.

If the other party made the Bados Civilization their first target, he would have no solution at all.

If they wanted to preserve the Bados Civilization, then the Forerunners must meet the battle head-on.

To some extent, this was an Overt Strategy. Li Yu had already explicitly told him.

I know you have a connection with the Forerunners and are already prepared for battle. If the Forerunners don't appear, then the only one out of luck will be Bados.

Therefore, Marc hoped the Forerunners would meet the battle.

"Don't be nervous, we will protect you." The other party ended the communication, probably to discuss what to do.

Meanwhile, Marc's expression was Moody. He paced back and forth in the room, and finally issued a few orders on his Smart Terminal.

.........

Due to a severe lack of intelligence information, Marc dispatched his subordinate High-Level Lifeforms to go everywhere and scout for news.

A Spaceship was currently rushing towards a planet marked on the Star Map. The person on the ship was one of Marc's confidants, the "Mad Butcher" Beyele.

"Damn Dragon Lord, damn Star Glory Empire, we're not that easy to bully either!" Beyele's expression was gloomy.

He already knew the humiliation Marc suffered in front of Li Yu.

Therefore, he was even more angry at this moment, wishing he could tear the other party to pieces!

His current task was to find a way to find out the Star Glory Empire's Strength deployment and the fleet's whereabouts.

Buzz!

Right at this moment, the Spaceship shuddered violently. The Engine Fizzled Out and stopped abruptly.

"What's going on?"

Beyele was startled and hurriedly operated the Spaceship. However, any commands were like Clay Ox Entering The Sea. The Spaceship had no response, as if it had malfunctioned.

Right at this moment, the ship's hull shook with a boom, forcefully pulled out of the Jump State. The silent interstellar space around him made him feel uneasy.

Rumble—

A massive external force squeezed down from all directions. This Spaceship instantly turned into a lump of scrap metal, like a crumpled ball of paper.

Bang!

A spherical Energy Protective Shield crashed through the Armor and shot out from this lump of Spaceship wreckage.

Beyele's entire body was covered in an Energy Shield. He scanned left and right vigilantly, his intuition giving frantic warnings.

To actually be attacked here, who laid an ambush!?

Right at this moment, a somewhat young voice sounded in his mind.

"Mad Butcher, Beyele?"

Accompanying the telepathic message, a figure abruptly appeared not far away, his whole body shining with dazzling Thunder.

The moment he saw this person, Beyele's face drastically changed.

"Dragon Lord?!"
