Chapter 238 War! Or Compromise!

Chapter 238 War! Or Compromise!
If the fleets of the two great empires were to clash, his Western Legion would have absolutely no chance of winning!
Stay calm
Hold on!

We just need to wait for the Northwest Army to arrive.
Dong Zi'an's thoughts were in turmoil. Despite his anxiety, he knew that calmness was key to handling the crisis. At that moment, an adjutant entered the command room, holding a freshly completed data report, his face showing some unease.

"Report! The fleets of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire are rapidly approaching, and their estimated arrival time in our waters has been reduced to one hour!" The adjutant's tone was tense, as if afraid of missing any important intelligence.

Dong Zian frowned and immediately made a decision: "Mobilize the entire fleet, prepare for battle, and raise the defensive array to the highest alert level! All available soul-guided cannons and arrows should be aimed at the enemy ships!"

"The fleet must be lined up in a single file and defend against the enemy at least fifty nautical miles from the coastline!"

"Yes, sir!" the adjutant replied and left, the order quickly reaching the entire command center.

With orders issued, the soldiers of the Western Legion quickly entered combat readiness. The fleet on the sea resembled mobile fortresses, appearing majestic and awe-inspiring.

Strangely, at a distance of one hundred nautical miles, the fleets of the two great empires stopped, facing the Western Legion's fleet at a distance of fifty nautical miles.

To be precise, under Hu Shatian's command, the Douling Empire's fleet stopped only after seeing the Xingluo Empire's fleet halt its voyage.

"Lord Tiger Demon Heaven, we should have passed this distance by now, right?"

"The Star Luo Empire does not want to start a war at this time! We are not ready."

At this moment, at the Star Luo Empire's fleet carrier, Enci was questioning Hu Shatian.

But Hu Shatian's face was no longer as easygoing and forthright as before. Instead, he revealed a fierce look, appearing even more serious: "Don't want to start a war? Aren't you ready yet?"

"Hahaha!"

Am I listening to some kind of joke that's been told for ages?

Tiger Demon suddenly laughed. His long, golden hair shone like burning flames in the sunlight, making his face appear even more handsome. However, his smile revealed a strong bloodlust.

Enci frowned, his heart filled with vigilance.

"From the moment your Star Luo Empire accepted the Beast Machine Merchant Guild, from the moment your Star Luo Empire asked us to assist you in your military reforms, from the moment your Star Luo Empire's soul-guided rocket transport vehicles arrived on the East Coast, you had already started a war!"

"An arms race, a war of attrition—don't tell me these policies and troop deployments are to celebrate the anniversary of your Star Luo Empire being driven from its homeland by the Sun Moon Empire!"

As for preparations…

Tiger Demon's eyes were filled with murderous intent. With the help of the soul-guided satellite, he precisely located the situation on the west coast at this moment. He seemed to have already made a plan and was confident in his abilities.

"If you're not ready, do you think the Sun and Moon Federation is?"

"Do you have more people than them, or is your team of Soul Masters stronger?"

"Instead of taking advantage of their military superiority to weaken our forces, they're busy thinking about getting ready! How long will they keep preparing?!"

Tiger Demon's series of words and questions made Enci fall into deep thought.

Every word Hu Shatian spoke carried profound truth. In fact, the more passively the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire responded, the easier it would be for the Sun Moon Federation to catch up on its lagging military equipment during this period. By then, the Sun Moon Federation, with its superior army numbers, quality, and Soul Master teams, would be invincible.

Tiger Demon had no intention of continuing the conversation with Enci. Instead, he directly took a communication soul tool from the adjutant arranged by the Star Luo Empire.

“Dai Tianling, I know you’re listening.”

Tiger Demon Heaven was not annoyed by Dai Tianling's eavesdropping; he only wanted to fight!
He desperately wanted to fight a war!
Since answering the call, he felt completely useless. On the entire planet, perhaps only his own people could spar with him, but without a life-or-death struggle, he could never feel that long-lost thrill and excitement.

So he had to start with another hobby.
war!

I'll ask you just one question.

Tiger Demon's tone was undeniably forceful: "Dai Tianling, do you want to continue to live a peaceful life on the Star Luo Continent, waiting for the day when a sky-covering fleet of fighter jets and an ocean-filling fleet surrounds your empire, or do you want to seize this opportunity to do something that none of your ancestors could do—defeat the Sun Moon Federation's army!"

On the other end of the communicator, Dai Tianling was no longer concerned about the embarrassment of being caught eavesdropping; instead, her face flushed, she was deep in thought.
war.
No war
From ten thousand years ago, when the Star Luo Empire encountered the Sun Moon Empire, until today, the Star Luo Empire has never been able to achieve a true victory on the front lines in a fair and square manner.

Even thousands of years ago, they were swept away by the Sun Moon Empire, like stray dogs, forced to find a continent to rebuild their nation. Do you want to defeat the Sun Moon Federation's army?

miss you!
Dai Tianling dreamed of this!

But what happens after that?!

What price will the Star Luo Empire pay?

Can the Star Luo Empire withstand the wrath of the Sun Moon Federation?

Does the Star Luo Empire have sufficient power and resources to confront the war it has initiated?
These questions loomed in Dai Tianling's mind, like an undeniable pressure that weighed heavily on his heart. The past, like a mirror, reflected countless lessons of failure, making him hesitant to act rashly.

But it was precisely these countless lessons that ignited the pent-up frustration and anger within the Dai family.

Yes!

Why can't I hit you?!

Why should I have to be so restrictive?!
That continent was originally where my ancestors lived and ruled. Why can you use more advanced soul guidance technology to drive us out of Douluo Continent, but we can't use more advanced soul guidance technology to fight back?!
"Dai Tianling, I'm asking you a question!"

Hu Shatian's voice, like thunder, interrupted Dai Tianling's thoughts.

The sound, like a ferocious tiger roaring through the forest, seemed to be reminding Dai Tianling that time was of the essence and a decision was imminent.

"I want to fight."

Dai Tianling finally uttered these words, and this was perhaps the first time since he became emperor that he had expressed his will so firmly. A raging fire ignited in his heart, a yearning buried deep in history, a pursuit of the glory of his ancestors.

"Want war? Want war?!"

Tiger Demon's rage roared like thunder, his majestic power overwhelming. His tiger eyes widened in fury as he roared through the communication device, "I have no right to say whether I want to or not!"

"War or compromise?"

Hu Shatian's voice was deep and powerful, like a giant wave in the ocean, unstoppable. His gaze, through the communication soul tool, seemed to see directly into Dai Tianling's heart.

Dai Tianling took a deep breath, feeling the intense pressure and a long-lost sense of pride rising within him. His fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

"I choose war!"

"Please, Brother Tiger."

Dai Tianling finally spoke firmly, his tone filled with unwavering determination.

"very good!"

A fanatical light gleamed in Hu Shatian's eyes.

That was his longing and fervent desire for war!

"Issue a mobilization order immediately! All troops, prepare to obey my command!"

Tiger Demon's voice, like a war drum, resounded throughout the entire fleet, inspiring all the soldiers.
