Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 402 - 110: Han Ling’s External Reinforcements! Seven Thousand Strongholds Descend! War Begins!

"The true Gods!"

"..."

All across the starry sky, such fanatical cries echoed.

And on the throne of the central fortress.

Han Ling finally raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

"Not bad."

His satisfaction naturally didn’t stem from the enthusiasm of his subordinates, but rather from the success of deploying those fortress battleships.

Indeed.

The situation occurring now in this starry sky is almost identical to that of the Dawn Fortress not long ago.

These extremely large fortress battleships, beyond the imagination of ordinary Star System Wasteland civilization forces, all come from the high dimension!

They are able to arrive here because they were deployed from the high dimension by someone!

Unlike Yu Jin...

The Celestial God Civilization received this batch of fortress battleships, not from Commerce Association Funi, nor through Han Ling’s own means.

But rather, through a deal.

Before long.

When the multicolored passage gradually dulled, about to completely disappear.

Swish—

A massive silhouette suddenly appeared out of thin air in the starry sky.

The silhouette was nearly as large as a half of the star realm!

He was a young man with golden hair, exuding an indescribable nobility in his demeanor, with a strong air of authority in every gesture.

"Han, remember our deal."

A faint voice of the golden-haired youth echoed in the starry sky.

And then.

Wow—

The youth’s illusion disappeared, and silence returned to the starry sky.

Only—

The countless fortress battleships quietly hovered, proving that everything that had happened was real.

"Heh—"

"Guy Nash!"

On the throne.

Han Ling’s expression turned a few shades darker after the appearance of the golden-haired youth’s illusion.

Guy Nash, the prodigal son of the Ophelia Federation’s Nash Clan, and also the next generation’s power holder of the Nash Clan.

And the Nash Clan...

As a top-tier influential family in the Federation, it was indeed Han Ling’s real partner.

Long before Athena’s arrival, Han Ling had already established a connection with the Nash Clan and earned their support.

And now?

The deployment of this batch of fortress battleships was a new term Han Ling proposed to the Nash Clan not long ago.

"I need a batch of fortress battleships to completely dominate this Star System Wasteland."

At that time, Han Ling’s original words were like this.

"Star System Wasteland?"

"What’s worth dominating in such a low-dimensional barren land?"

"Just wait a few months to get promoted to a higher dimension, and after your promotion, you still need to prepare a lot for the Cosmic Genius War!"

This was the response of the Nash Clan.

To this, Han Ling didn’t say much, nor did he reveal the information that ’Yu Jin is in this Star System Wasteland.’

Athena’s attitude toward Yu Jin made Han Ling extremely cautious.

He had no doubt—

If the Nash Clan discovered Yu Jin was also in this Star System Wasteland, they might not only support one party, but might even abandon Han Ling for Yu Jin!

But...

Despite Han Ling’s immense confidence in the Celestial God Civilization, and the fact that the civilization has subdued nearly all encountered forces, continuously expanding the number of fortress battleships in the corps.

His intuition always told him "Not enough, still not enough!"

For this reason, Han Ling opted for external assistance.

"Deal..."

"Heh."

On the throne.

Recalling the conditions proposed by the Nash Clan back then, Han Ling’s expression worsened.

As everyone knows.

Deploying fortress battleships from the high dimension to the low dimension is extremely troublesome, with exceedingly high costs.

Just like the current central fortress beneath Han Ling’s feet was a gift from the Nash Clan upon their first meeting, but it was the only one.

This time, however, Han Ling asked for ’many’!

Even if the Nash Clan chose to invest in Han Ling, supporting him, they would not engage in a losing deal.

Therefore—

The deployment of these fortress battleships, so expensive that even the Nash Clan found it painful, was backed by a promise Han Ling made.

"After the Cosmic Genius War, completely settle accounts with the Ophelia Clan!"

"After the Cosmic Genius War, join the Nash Clan and become a member of the Nash Clan!"

The former condition doesn’t need much explanation; it was the premise of the cooperation between the two parties.

The latter condition...

"Heh—"

Han Ling sneered once again.

The Nash Clan?

A mere influential family within the Ophelia Federation, even if it’s a top-tier family, is in no way qualified to associate with someone like Han Ling, a descendant of the Divine Bloodline!

Joining them, becoming a Nash Clan member?

That was even more ridiculous!

The fact that Han Ling agreed, was just an empty promise.

After all...

The immediate concern is Yu Jin, the biggest nuisance.

Han Ling must eliminate Yu Jin as a threat before promoting to the high dimension.

Only by doing so would he become the sole hope and seed for the Ophelia Federation!

"Yu Jin’s mother..."

"Has been found by Athena on a certain Star System Wasteland server, and is now returning to the Federation Central Star Realm with Athena..."

Han Ling recalled another piece of crucial information revealed to him by the Nash Clan.

"Hah——"

Han Ling let out a long breath.

And at this moment.

Below the throne, the Commander-in-Chief standing at the forefront also timely spoke, reporting the information just gathered.

"Lord!"

"This time..."

"Our Celestial God Civilization has newly added—"

"Super Large Interstellar Fortress: 5000 units!"

"..."

"Our Celestial God Civilization originally had—"

"Super Large Interstellar Fortress: 2108 units!"

"..."

"Now our Celestial God Civilization accumulatively possesses—"

"Super Large Interstellar Fortress: 7108 units!"

"..."

The Commander-in-Chief spoke one number after another.

Whenever a new number was uttered, the smiles on the faces of the high-ranking members of the Celestial God Civilization became even brighter.

"Super Large Interstellar Fortress!"

"Seven thousand units!"

"Who else?"

"Who else dares to look at our Celestial God Civilization!"

Such thoughts almost filled everyone’s mind.

They even wished to immediately ’fly’ to the T-1001 Star Realm to battle against the arrogant ’Yu Jin’!

They wanted to use a full seven thousand Super Large Fortresses to utterly crush the opponent’s army!

And at this moment.

Han Ling on the throne couldn’t help but feel the same.

The addition of five thousand Super Large Fortresses, along with warships and spaceships numbering several times that of the original Celestial God Civilization, steadied his previously uneasy heart.

"Such strength is enough!"

Han Ling rose from the throne.

His mouth uttered such a statement.

"Enough!!!"

Below the throne.

The high-ranking commanders shouted in unison.

"Deliver my order!"

"Effective immediately—"

"All of Celestial God Civilization, advance at full speed towards T-1001 Star Realm!"

"No, not just advance..."

"All Fortress Battleships, in the neighboring star realms, find stars to charge and prepare for a full warp shuttle!"

"Target—"

"Arrive at T-1001 Star Realm within three days!"

Han Ling’s voice echoed through the central fortress, across the starry sky, and throughout the Paxton Star Realm.

And in the next moment.

Boom—

Rumble—!

All fortress battleships of the Celestial God Civilization began to mobilize.

...

...

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

T-1001 Star Realm, Southeast Outpost.

This was the outer realm outpost established not long ago by Dawn Fortress Corps Commander Carol.

Its purpose was to monitor any anomalies near the star realm.

At this moment.

In the starry sky area of Code DN-09 Outpost.

Inside a Super Large Interstellar Fortress coded S-1889.

The young commander Ye Ye was gazing together with Laya at the distant starry sky.

"Ah Ye..."

"Are they about to arrive?"

Laya stared at the starry sky, lost in thought for a long time, and suddenly uttered this sentence.

"Yes, almost there."

Ye Ye replied solemnly.

His face showed increasingly less youthful innocence, replaced by maturity beyond his years.

"Do you know them?"

Laya, gazing at Ye Ye’s profile, couldn’t help but ask.

This question had been festering in her mind for a long, long time.

Ten days ago, when she followed Ye Ye to this starry region to take charge of the outpost, she heard Ye Ye say, "My teacher told me: They’re strong, even we in the Dawn Fortress must remain vigilant."

Laya knew the ’teacher’ Ye Ye referred to was Commander Tang Yunxuan.

But she didn’t know who ’they’ were.

Or rather.

Almost everyone in the fortress was clueless.

People only knew—

Not long ago, Lord Yu Jin personally announced to all subordinates that a formidable enemy would arrive at Dawn Fortress in the future.

But who the enemy was, where they came from?

No one knew.

"They—"

Ye Ye had just begun to speak when he was suddenly interrupted.

[Beep—!]

[Beep beep—!!]

It was the urgent mechanical alert sounds from the fortress-wide control center that interrupted him—

[Warning!]

[Warning!!]

[Detected extremely high quantities and specifications of energy fluctuations in the starry sky ahead!]
