Chapter 521 Starfleet
On January 28, 2028, the Void Creature Countermeasures Committee members, including Geddes, Miraru, and Lily, who had gone to another planet to attend an important meeting, returned to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance.
Upon their return, Geddes and his companions went directly to the Roland Star Embassy in the Interstellar Alliance and met Li Chenglong. Geddes, the tree-like figure, was overjoyed to see him. He patted Li Chenglong's shoulder several times with his massive, tree-stump-like hand before saying excitedly, "Li, we've finally met again. I always felt you wouldn't die so easily."
After everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Li Chenglong told them about the current situation in the solar system in detail, and recounted a battle plan that he and Teacher Lena had discussed together.
When they learned that a massive, spherical black curtain had formed near Mars' orbit in Li Chenglong's solar system, and that advanced special forces were being rapidly manufactured, Guedes and his team were greatly surprised. This was the first time they had ever discovered such a phenomenon in all their years of research on special forces.
Lily said seriously, "Lord Li, do you have any information about that conspiracy or any place that manufactures special forces? Video footage or data would be fine." Li Chenglong knew they would definitely need this information these past few days, so he had specially organized some. He immediately said, "Yes, I have a lot of information, and I can give it to you."
He then opened his Noah 02 and transferred all the compiled information to Lily. Having received this information, Guedes said they would return immediately to begin research and strive to give Li Chenglong a response as soon as possible.
However, before leaving, Guedes gave Li Chenglong a heads-up: they would definitely send at least one fleet to help the solar system overcome this crisis.
After the three and their team left, Jasmine said, "Lord Li, don't worry. I contacted our Roland Star yesterday. Queen Raemon said that she has reached an agreement with Hailan Star and Meilan Star. At that time, our three planets will also send a space fleet to return to the solar system with you and will be under your command."
Li Chenglong was taken aback; Empress Raymond had first gifted him a powerful weapon, and now she was even sending a fleet to aid Earth. He was at a loss for words. Before he could speak, Jasmine smiled and said, "However, Her Majesty the Empress also said that she knows you've reached level 14, so she'd like to find an opportunity to spar with you and see who's stronger."
Li Chenglong readily agreed: "Her Majesty the Empress has helped me, Li Chenglong, so much. I will certainly agree to this small request. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will personally visit Roland Star."
Jasmine sat down, picked up her water glass and drank some of the specialty juice from Roland Star, saying, "Mr. Geddes and his team are quite efficient. I estimate that it will take at most two days to get the results. However, because our planet Tarot is very large, a day here is much longer than a day on Earth."
Li Chenglong glanced at the watch on his left wrist; it showed Earth time, January 28th. The dark curtain was constantly creating various levels of special forces; every day that dragged on, Earth faced increasing danger.
Just as he was still considering, a military officer walked in and said, "Reporting to Miss Jasmine, Ambassador Keira from Milan Star and Ambassador Rem from Hailan Star have come to visit, saying they want to discuss the joint dispatch of a fleet."
Jasmine stood up and said, "Quickly, invite them in and prepare the best food to entertain them." Ambassador Kayla of the planet Meilan has served as ambassador to the Interstellar Alliance for over 50 years. She is kind, tactful, and adept at handling various interpersonal relationships and planetary connections. Ambassador Rem of the planet Hailan is a distant relative of Professor Rena, but much younger; however, she has served as ambassador there for 30 years.
Li Chenglong had previously asked Teacher Lena why the Queen of Roland was named Raymond, wondering if they were related. Teacher Lena replied that it was merely a coincidence, because on Roland, both the elves and dark elves were female, and they reproduced only asexually, so there was no need for men. Teacher Lena herself was a native of Hailan Star, although she had indeed studied advanced agricultural and livestock techniques on Roland Star in her youth.
However, this was just a joke by Li Chenglong. Although Queen Raymond's name sounds like "Raymond," her full name is very long, with 26 characters when translated into Chinese.
Seeing that they were about to discuss something important, Jin Mengfei said she was going upstairs to rest. Li Chenglong agreed and gave her a pair of holographic projection glasses so she could play with them when she was bored.
Then Jasmine and Li Chenglong, along with several military officers, went out to greet the two ambassadors. Upon hearing that this was Li Chenglong, who had wiped out hundreds of millions of special forces and possessed the ability to travel between dimensions, both Kayla and Rem took the initiative to greet him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three went to the office together to discuss the deployment of troops. Kayla stated that their planet, Melan, could also send a full-strength interstellar fleet, but only on the condition that the Interstellar Alliance would also send a fleet to assist. If the Interstellar Alliance did not provide support, then they would not send troops to help.
Meanwhile, Rem's planet, Hyland, offered to send a full-strength interstellar fleet to provide support free of charge, but on one condition: Rem had to check on the condition of the G-Gem within Li Chenglong's body. After all, the G-Gem was a secret weapon developed by Hyland in collaboration with three other planets to combat special forces, and they were extremely concerned about its current state.
These requests were not unreasonable, so Li Chenglong agreed to them one by one. Now it remains to be seen what progress the Void Creature Countermeasures Committee can make.
Two hours later, the two ambassadors and their entourage left together. Before leaving, they checked on Li Chenglong's condition and found that the G-gem had completely merged with Li Chenglong and had grown to be much better than they had expected. They were both shocked and delighted.
Before they left, the two said that as soon as the Interstellar Alliance had any news, they would immediately contact the fleet of their home planet to set out, and then they could meet up together in the Martian sphere of the solar system.
With nothing much to do in the afternoon, Li Chenglong sparred with the military attaché in the embassy courtyard. The strongest person in the embassy was named Hathaway, a late-stage level 13 superpowered individual. Although she wasn't as strong as older-school level 13 powerhouses like Marina or Teacher Lena, defeating Sitroros should be relatively easy for her.
Jasmine and Jin Mengfei quickly formed a friendship. Jasmine gave Jin Mengfei many gifts and taught her a lot about Tarot Planet. Jin Mengfei was quite surprised when she learned that Jasmine's planet, Roland, was entirely populated by women, and that most of them looked very similar.
When Jasmine learned that Jin Mengfei wanted to become a singer, she mentioned a technology on Tarot Planet that could alter a person's voice and improve their respiratory system, making their singing exceptionally beautiful. While Jin Mengfei was somewhat interested, she declined. She believed that achieving her dreams couldn't rely on external aids or technology, but rather on her own hard work.
That evening, Guedes and his men returned. He stated that, based on their committee's research, they believed the cover-up and the continuous production of special equipment needed to be addressed promptly, otherwise it would become a major hidden danger.
Therefore, with the approval of the Interstellar Alliance Council, Geddes and Lily will personally lead two full-strength interstellar fleets to the destination, striving to resolve this issue completely. Li Chenglong repeatedly expressed his gratitude to them and promptly informed Ambassadors Rem and Kayla of the matter.
Two days later, after intensive preparations, the two full-strength interstellar fleets departed Tarot using jump navigation and headed towards the solar system. Li Chenglong and Jin Mengfei did not travel on the Poseidon, but instead stayed on the flagship where Geddes was located. Based on the fleet's speed, they would arrive in approximately 35 to 40 days.
