Chapter 447 We can't put the battlefield on Earth.
The initiation of the "Fire" agreement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
No, it's not a boulder.
It was a globally resounding, top-level alarm.
Paris, Union Western Europe Command.
The diplomat from three years ago, now the top liaison officer for Western Europe, tensed up as he looked at the flashing red police lights in his office.
In the encrypted communication channel, the weathered face of the Grizzly Bear Kingdom general appeared, against a backdrop of equally glaring red light.
"What happened? Which blind ancient god has awakened again?" The general's voice was a little hoarse.
The liaison officer shook his head, forcing himself to calm down, but his fingertips turned white as he gripped the edge of the table.
"It's not an internal problem. This alarm... came from the highest command level in China."
On the screen, the portraits of representatives from one allied country after another lit up, each with the same solemnity and doubt on their face.
Over the past three years, they have become accustomed to living under the order of China.
Although there were occasional frictions, everyone understood that it was the strength of China that allowed them to have three years of peace to study spiritual energy and cultivate extraordinary individuals.
This is the first time in three years that such a high-level alert has been issued.
"Everyone, connect to the main Huaxia channel for an emergency meeting."
As the liaison officer's voice faded, all images vanished instantly, merging into a larger virtual conference room.
At the head of the long table sat Chief Zhang.
To his left and right were Commander Qi and Sun Jiuchou, respectively.
Zhou Jue stood in front of the main screen.
At this moment, the world's top decision-makers held their breath.
"To make a long story short," Chief Zhang's voice rang clearly in everyone's ears through quantum communication.
"War is coming."
There was no preparation, no buffer.
The conference room was deathly silent.
Zhou Jue didn't give them any time to ask questions. She raised her hand and turned on the screen behind her.
That's a photo of Voyager 1.
"Voyager 1, a deep-space probe launched by the United States in the last century, was captured by an unknown civilization at 9:37 a.m. today."
The representative of the United States, an elderly man with white hair, suddenly shuddered.
The screen displays alternating images of alien text and its translation.
[Assessment Level: Primitive Civilization, No Threat]
[Recommendation: Classify as a Level D protected observation target. This galaxy is resource-poor and has no immediate development value.]
"This is part of the communications log of the enemy's advance team that we deciphered." Zhou Jue's voice was completely flat.
"Judging from planet G-581, they think we are primitive people, like interesting monkeys in a zoo."
"They don't take us seriously for the time being."
The general from Grizzly Bear Kingdom couldn't help but ask, "Temporarily? When will they take us seriously?"
Zhou Jue looked at him.
The screen switched again, revealing a dark universe with a planet silently floating in the air. The next second, a massive shadow enveloped the planet.
From the shadows, countless metal tentacles emerged and pierced deep into the planet's crust. The planet began to tremble, its tectonic plates were torn apart, and magma spewed out from the cracks.
There was no sound, only destruction.
The entire process lasted less than five minutes.
That beautiful planet has become a broken ring of stars floating in the universe.
"This is a publicly available 'resource gathering' tutorial video from their network." Zhou Jue's voice was the only sound.
"Now, to answer your question, General."
"When they feel that the monkey enclosure is taking up space they need, they will start cleaning it up."
In the virtual conference room, the white-haired representative from the United States closed his eyes and slumped into his chair.
The French liaison officer looked at the shattered star ring and felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
fear.
The opponent was able to unleash such power to wipe out a planet.
It's over! That was the only thought in everyone's mind.
"They haven't found us yet." Chief Zhang's voice pulled everyone back from the abyss of despair.
He stood up, walked to the screen, and pointed to the pulsar map that marked the location of the solar system.
"They got the map, but they haven't looked at it yet."
“They are arrogant and conceited, thinking we are insignificant. In their eyes, this is just a meaningless graffiti.”
"This gives us... our only chance."
Commander Qi stepped forward, and behind her, a map of the star system containing planet G-581 appeared.
"Their advance team is resting on planet G-581, awaiting further exploration instructions."
"According to the intelligence intercepted by General Zhou, this advance team consists of three reconnaissance ships, with conventional combat capabilities, but equipped with a simplified version of the 'collecting tentacles' we just saw."
Her gaze swept across each of the distraught representatives on the screen.
"The 'Great Wall' and 'Kunlun' deep space fleets completed their assembly half an hour ago."
“The core students of Kunlun Sword Hall, Yunlan University’s Formation and Talisman Department, as well as the elites trained by the alliance countries over the past three years, totaling three thousand cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above, have boarded the warship.”
"Our goal is not to wait."
Commander Qi's voice was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
"Instead, we take the initiative."
"Before they realize we're a threat, before they can even decipher this map, blow out their eyes, blow out their advance team!"
"We must fight in space! We absolutely cannot put the battlefield on Earth!"
The entire conference room fell completely silent.
All the representatives looked at Commander Qi as if he were a madman.
Take the initiative?
To attack a civilization that can crush a planet like a cookie?
The Grizzly Bear General was the first to react. He stood up abruptly, and the chair behind him was knocked over because of the sudden movement.
"Commander Qi! This...this is suicide!"
"Our fleet...it's simply impossible..."
“That’s right,” the American representative opened his eyes, his voice hoarse, “Our technological gap is too big. This is sending our most elite forces to their deaths!”
"To die?" Sun Jiuchou laughed. "Sit here and wait to die, or go out and find a way to survive, which would you choose?"
"We had no choice."
"Fighting might result in death."
"If we don't fight, we will definitely die, and we will die just like that planet we just saw, silently."
Zhou Jue took over the conversation.
"We have analyzed the other party's behavior patterns."
"They are arrogant, so their reconnaissance ships will not activate the highest level of energy shields."
“They are arrogant, so they never imagined that a group of people they see as ‘primitive’ would dare to attack them.”
“By utilizing these two points, we will have the opportunity to get close to them and severely damage them before they can react.”
"This is our only chance."
"It is also the only chance for all mankind."
The meeting room fell silent once again.
But this time, the silence was no longer pure despair, but a desperate madness born from being pushed to the brink.
for a long time.
The French liaison officer slowly straightened up, adjusted his collar, and bowed deeply to the screen.
"France requests to join this operation."
"We don't have starships, but we have trained an extraordinary legion for three years that can be responsible for the entire defense of Earth's orbit, so that China's fleet can have no worries!"
"Grizzly Bear Kingdom, second this! Our 'Winter General' Legion, stand by!"
"Germans, the Templar Legion, requesting permission to engage in battle!"
“American…” The white-haired representative stood up. His voice was still hoarse, but it carried a sense of determination.
"The Knights of Apocalypse are willing to be among the first to land and fight."
"..."
The voices of agreement rose and fell.
This time, there was no bargaining, no exchange of benefits.
In the shadow of destruction, everyone became a grasshopper tied to the same rope.
Commander Zhang looked at the pairs of eyes on the screen, their fighting spirit rekindled, and nodded.
"Okay." He only said one word.
Commander Qi turned around and gave the final instructions.
"Operation 'Beacon Fire', Phase One, has officially begun."
"Target: G-581 system."
"Two hours to assemble! Representatives from all countries, please assemble at Yunlan University!"
