Chapter 666: Should we join other factions?
Just a year or six months?
If any other beastmaster said this, Chen Wen would have concluded that the other party had a mental problem.
But if Su Yang said it, then it was highly likely to be something that could succeed.
"That's all for now. I'm heading back to Shengjing to report the situation to Marshal Xu!"
"Go!"
Taking Sovereign Jiazi back to Shengjing, Su Yang explained the intelligence to Marshal Xu, who also took several minutes to digest the news.
This was already quite impressive; if you told an ordinary person that the world was about to end,
they would either think the person saying it was crazy, or they would plan to go crazy themselves...
"So, our Federation needs to prepare for the world fusion?"
With the investigation report from the Federal Academy of Sciences, Marshal Xu almost believed Su Yang's words.
"Yes!" Su Yang said. "Even if the fusion point is favorable to us, we still need to reinforce the defensive fortifications of every city. When Water Blue Star merges, the entire planet will undergo tearing, and large-scale earthquakes are absolute. It's not much of a problem for Gold-rank beastmasters with flying-type pet beasts, but we have too many civilians!"
Marshal Xu took a deep breath. "I understand. This matter will be handled by our Federation; we will carry out unified planning!"
"That's good!"
Su Yang nodded.
This task was extremely difficult and required the Federation to coordinate it.
Marshal Xu thought for a moment and said, "However, ordinary reinforced concrete materials probably won't be able to withstand that kind of impact!"
"Yes!" Su Yang agreed. "If it's not located in a rift zone, the impact will naturally be small, but if it's in an earthquake zone, ordinary concrete will likely be torn apart."
Marshal Xu turned his head and looked at Su Yang.
That gaze made Su Yang shudder.
Marshal Xu seemed to be plotting something involving him.
"General Su!"
"Present!"
"Can the ice crystals from Liu Liu Mengyun's Ice Moon Elf withstand that kind of impact?"
"If the Ice Moon Elf can't, then I reckon no pet beast in the entire world can!"
Su Yang roughly knew what Marshal Xu wanted to do.
"I heard that the ice crystals from that Ice Moon Elf can remain unmelted for years!"
"Who said that?"
The ice crystals left behind by the Ice Moon Elf were actually not many.
Even in Black Tiger City, after defeating the Beast Emperor Hurricane Howling Tiger, the ice crystals inside and outside Black Tiger City were removed by Liu Liu Mengyun...
"General Xue told me!" Marshal Xu laughed. "He also praised you and Liu Liu Mengyun heavily!"
"So it was him!"
Su Yang suddenly realized.
In North Ice City, within General Xue's manor, the Ice Moon Elf's ice crystals had indeed been left behind.
Xue Xue Qiancheng's main battle pet beast back then was also of the ice and snow type, so he could naturally see how powerful the Ice Moon Elf was.
"This is what I'm thinking!" Marshal Xu said. "I will first have cities everywhere build more robust shelters on a large scale, add sufficient thermal insulation layers, and then have Liu Liu Mengyun reinforce the outer layers of those defenses... I have no worries at all about Liu Liu Mengyun's ice crystal defense; there should be no one in the entire Huaxia Federation more suitable than her. My only worry is whether she can hold on, and how long her ice crystals can last!"
Su Yang pursed his lips, feeling a bit hesitant.
This was a massive project, involving thousands of cities across the entire Huaxia Federation.
However, this matter could be carried out over three years; in terms of time, it wasn't particularly urgent, just very time-consuming and energy-draining.
"General Su, what do you think?"
"I can't make the decision; I need to consult her opinion!"
Su Yang could certainly accept the task on Liu Liu Mengyun's behalf.
But he didn't want to do that.
"That's fine!" Marshal Xu pressed his temples and said, "You should consult her opinion first!"
If it were an ordinary Emperor-rank beastmaster, Marshal Xu could still issue an order, and if an order didn't work, he could use the greater good to pressure them.
But if the other party was Liu Liu Mengyun, and also Su Yang's wife, Marshal Xu found it difficult to force her.
Both Su Yang and Marshal Xu knew that Liu Liu Mengyun would likely agree.
But they both agreed to notify her first and seek her opinion.
"General Su, are you confident in dealing with that Emperor-rank fierce beast?"
"I am, but I need more battles!"
"I understand!"
"Then I'll head back to North Ice City first."
"Go!" Marshal Xu laughed. "Remember to tell me Liu Liu Mengyun's decision. Time isn't urgent; you two can enjoy a period of peaceful days."
"Mm!"
Taking Sovereign Jiazi, he returned to North Ice City.
When he saw Liu Liu Mengyun at the military department, Liu Liu Mengyun merely raised her eyelids and glanced at Su Yang. "You're back?"
"Mm, I'm back!"
"Wait another half hour, I'm getting off work!"
"I'll wait for you!"
That night, after dinner, Xia Na watched Su Yang pulling Liu Liu Mengyun and rushing upstairs, unable to help but complain, "General Su seems to be in a hurry!"
"Do you think Liu Liu Mengyun isn't in a hurry?"
Sovereign Jiazi reminded her from the side, "Don't talk nonsense. General Su can definitely hear your words clearly. Be careful, or he might settle the score with you tomorrow!"
Xia Na shrank her neck and nodded earnestly.
After Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun left, Xia Na asked in a low voice, "Sister Sovereign Jiazi, what level has your strength reached after this trip?"
Xia Na was still relatively close to Sovereign Jiazi.
They were both Su Yang's subordinates, had no conflicts of interest, and shared quite a few commonalities.
"Emperor-rank!"
"So amazing!" Xia Na said in surprise. "Doesn't that mean Sister Sovereign Jiazi is a top-tier powerhouse of the Federation?"
"It's alright, I suppose!"
Although Sovereign Jiazi said it was just alright, the smile on her face betrayed her mood.
The truth was, she had never dreamed she could break through to the Emperor-rank so simply.
Back in the day, her biggest dream was just to become an Emperor-rank beastmaster.
But now, she even had the possibility of challenging the God-rank!
"You're also quite impressive; after not seeing you for a while, you're already a Star-rank beastmaster!" Sovereign Jiazi laughed. "You must have suffered a lot during this time, right?"
"I don't want to hold General Su back. I want to be like Sister Liu Mengyun and Sister Sovereign Jiazi, to help General Su and share the pressure for him!"
"Keep it up, there will definitely be a day like that!"
Sovereign Jiazi encouraged her.
"Mm!"
At three in the morning, Su Yang lay on the bed, panting.
Liu Liu Mengyun's head rested on his chest, her warm breath spraying against Su Yang's chest.
"Not bad, it seems you didn't 'eat on the side' during this trip!"
"You don't even think about it—am I that kind of person?"
"Right, you aren't the type to be proactive; you must have been waiting for Sovereign Jiazi to deliver herself to your door!"
"Don't slander someone's innocence without any reason!"
"Innocence?"
Liu Liu Mengyun laughed.
"When our Water Blue Star merges into the Fierce Beast Great World, what are your plans?"
During dinner, Su Yang had already told Xia Na and Liu Liu Mengyun about the matter.
This matter was, of course, confidential.
But Xia Na and Liu Liu Mengyun didn't count as outsiders.
"What plans?"
"Are you joining other factions, or staying in the Federation?" Liu Liu Mengyun asked worriedly. "There are God-rank beastmasters there, as well as all kinds of terrifying divine beasts. Our Federation has less than three hundred years of foundation; I reckon it will be difficult..."
"I should probably stay in the Federation!"
