Chapter 1404: Chapter 477: The Sea God Sect’s Trump Card (2)

...

”What I need to know now is what to do, not how this happened.”

”This has already happened! I need to know how to solve it!” Federation Deputy Speaker Bertrand said with a frosty expression.

”This...”

In the airship room, the advanced generals exchanged glances.

Yes, knowing how to solve the problem is crucial.

Tracing back to the source can be left for later.

However, it’s not that they don’t want to provide constructive suggestions, but in the face of absolute power, in their view, surviving the upcoming battle would already be fortunate.

As for victory?

That’s basically unthinkable.

”Although the situation far exceeds expectations, it’s not to the point of collapse yet,” a middle-aged general stated gravely.

”The Empire has two Dragon Knights, plus Lord Terrio, we have three seasoned epic-level battle forces on our side, whereas the opponent has two Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragons, plus a Cult Epic. Overall, the strength is still balanced.”

He did not mention the two Ajax Magic Statues, and everyone understood that these two statues roughly offset the remaining sea beasts and Sea God Sect followers.

”That’s right, although the encirclement failed, there’s no risk of collapse,” someone immediately understood this point and agreed.

”Is this the problem?” Deputy Speaker Bertrand asked seriously.

”We have gathered a lot of elites, spending such great effort, is it just to watch the Sea God Sect revive another more powerful Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon?”

”Everyone, don’t forget the significance of our action this time.”

This left the advanced generals of the Empire present in silence.

They then recalled that even at the top of the Federation, not everyone was willing to cooperate with the Empire.

Of course, perhaps the proportion of cooperation is somewhat higher than within the Empire, but there are still many opposing opinions.

The main significance of their action this time is to declare, with a brilliant victory, that cooperation is the best choice.

...

”Your Excellency, Deputy Speaker, Prince Menia has sent a message.” At this time, a messenger ran into the captain’s room and said.

”Read it!” Deputy Speaker Bertrand’s brow furrowed, and he said.

”... The newly revived Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon is the ancient King of the Three-headed Sea Dragons, known as the ’Ice Sea Giant Demon’ Gazrhean.”

”.... The opponent just revived, and its power has greatly decreased, but once it escapes, it won’t take long to recover its strength rapidly like the previous Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon.... Demigod level...”

Upon hearing this, many advanced generals gasped:

”What! A Demigod-level monster.”

”Don’t panic, didn’t Prince Menia also say that the opponent’s current power has greatly decreased, it’s likely at the late epic level, at most, just the epic peak.”

”But we don’t have anyone who can withstand even an epic peak here!”

...

On the Imperial Airship formation.

Rein also saw that particularly large Three-headed Sea Dragon emerging from a corner of the Fadil Mountains.

At the same time, he also received a transmission from the Red Queen Menia.

The emblem on his Wizard Robe flashed, and a mature female voice came through:

”Rein, this is the ancient King of the Three-headed Sea Dragons, Gazrhean. Reginald and I are going to stop it from reuniting.”

”I hope you can immediately support the Federation and help eliminate the first Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon. If it’s difficult, at least crush the Sea God Sect’s team, can you manage that?”

”This....” Rein looked thoughtful.

Although he had anticipated that the other side might have some backup plans, he really didn’t expect such a change to happen.

Demigod-level beast?

King of the Three-headed Sea Dragons?

This sparked a thought in Rein’s mind.

He once had an experience in Meister, where he entered the Sealing Gate and happened to crush a Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon egg, thereby undergoing an ’egg yolk baptism.’

Rein remembered clearly that the Sea Dragon Egg gave him a significant boost in Dragon Bloodline.

Upon hearing about the encirclement of the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon, Rein thought about the potential boost it might bring.

However, he also quickly realized that with his current level of strength, perhaps killing and obtaining the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon’s blood might not bring much improvement.

However...

The situation is different now.

This newly appeared Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon King, Gazrhean, was known as the ’Ice Sea Giant Demon’ in ancient times.

Rein is certain that its blood could definitely bring him a substantial increase in power.

Even if its power level has fallen from the Demigod level due to the long seal, logically speaking, its genes shouldn’t be too affected.

Additionally, from Menia’s recent description, in its prime, Gazrhean’s strength could at least be on par with the ’Red Dragon King’ Straz.

Possibly even above Straz.

So, what Rein is contemplating now is whether to directly confront Gazrhean?

Or follow what the ’Red Queen’ Menia suggested, deal with that Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon and the Sea God Sect?

After a slight consideration, Rein made a decision, saying: ”Alright, Prince Menia, I’m departing now!”

”Hmm, if.... if you do encounter a critical situation, Rein, you can perform a transformation, don’t have any concerns.” Menia hesitated slightly but added another sentence.

”Alright, I understand.”

Indeed, this is also what Rein was thinking.

Although Menia was vague, he already knew that the Imperial Royal Family seemed to have some kind of taboo regarding the Multi-Headed Dragon Bloodline, but he couldn’t possibly refrain from using this ace in a crisis.

After all, life is only once.

As for the Royal Family, that will have to be dealt with after surviving.

...

Hearing Rein’s agreement, Menia immediately relayed the message to the Federation.

For Menia and Reginald, who know Rein’s true strength, letting Rein support the Federation to tackle the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon and the Sea God Sect was highly feasible.

The only question was the amount of time it would take.

However, when Menia’s decision was communicated to the Federation Giant Airship, it caused an uproar among the advanced generals in the captain’s room.

”Report to the esteemed lords: Prince Menia of the Empire has sent a message saying she and Lord Reginald will attempt to prevent the resurrection of the Sea Dragon King Gazrhean from joining forces with the Sea God Sect,” a messenger quickly said.

”Additionally, Prince Menia has sent Lord Rein to support, hoping he can assist the Federation in overcoming the Sea God Sect.”

”What?! Overcome the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon and the Sea God Sect?”

”Prince Menia and Lord Reginald are going to block the ancient King of the Three-headed Sea Dragons Gazrhean? If neither of the Dragon Knights come, how can we possibly overcome the Sea God Sect?”

”And who is this Rein?”

”Have you heard of him?”

Several Federation advanced generals were left exchanging bewildered looks.

They had never heard of Rein’s name.

”Rein is a young emerging talent from the Dragan Empire, reportedly possessing strength not inferior to epic level,” a general, seemingly from the Intelligence Department, said gravely.

”A young man?”

”Yes, the young man sitting beside Rebecca during meetings.”

”Him? Nonsense!”

”Even a young person with talent would be at Beirika’s level at best, perhaps among the top young combatants, but in the current situation, adding a young strong combatant like Rebecca doesn’t mean much!”

”I think, to be prudent, we should regroup both sides’ strong members before slowly blocking the opponent. Meanwhile, we should immediately contact the nearest Federation strong ones for support.”

”No, it’s too late. The opponent is only a few kilometers from the coast, this distance for Gazrhean’s size can be covered in just a few minutes.”

”Prince Menia also just said, we mustn’t let Gazrhean return to the sea.”

”Right! Plus, if the opposite side merges, we cannot risk the Sea God Sect having some pre-arranged measures that might rapidly restore Gazrhean’s powers?”

”I agree with Prince Menia’s suggestion, we can’t let them merge. In military terms, dividing and surrounding are the most effective tactics.” Of course, some had different opinions.

”But this....”

For a while, the generals couldn’t reach a consensus, turning their attention to the on-site highest authority, Federation Deputy Speaker Bertrand.

Bertrand frowned, mulled it over for a while, then decisively said:

”Respond to Prince Menia, we will act on her suggestion immediately!”

”Yes, sir!” the messenger saluted immediately.
