Light Fortress

Chapter 1857: Chapter 452: Torch of Love

Within the Spirit Sea Domain of the Array Box.

Turing squinted at Gu Shen and smiled as he asked, "Do you want to bring over the ’Initial’ as reinforcements?"

"Why not?"

Gu Shen said, "The war in the Five Continents at this moment, to the Starship Civilization, is no more than child’s play... If the Initial is willing to intervene, even though it’s just a discarded airship, it would be enough to change the entire course of the war."

"Your plan is clever."

Turing shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, you don’t understand Alf."

Gu Shen was taken aback.

"The Initial will not participate in this war."

Turing said blandly, "Unless the Lord of Melting Iron is alive, do you think such a thing... could happen?"

...

...

In the depths of the sea, a beam of red light locked onto Bai Xiu.

After the latter hurriedly explained, the red light gradually dissipated... but Bai Xiu saw very clearly.

When he first reported Gu Shen’s name, the red light had no intention of moving, only when he mentioned "Gu Xiaoman," the hostility contained in the red light vanished.

"So it’s Xiaoman’s teacher..."

A youthful voice emanated from the Deep Sea.

"Bai Xiu, I’ve heard your name."

As this voice spread, the supermassive warship, like a steel island, slowly began to operate, the bronze door opened, Bai Xiu did not hesitate, and the Thunder Realm Walker carried the airship into it.

Behind the bronze door, floated a small shiny white cube.

Alf "squinted" at the young man in front of him, and the Thunder Realm Walker holding the Black Silver Airship.

It was willing to allow passage just based on these few words.

One was because Gu Xiaoman had mentioned Bai Xiu’s name before.

Two was because it saw that the Black Silver material of this airship was all from the Initial.

Combining these two points, Alf knew the young man was telling the truth.

Seeing the slow flying posture of the Thunder Realm Walker, Alf couldn’t help but say, "Over all these years... this is the first time I’ve seen someone like you piloting an airship."

"..."

Bai Xiu could only remain silent.

Indeed, the journey from the Northern Frontier to here was far, and he dared not recklessly use source matter, for fear of not being able to find the East Sea landmark.

"It was Gu Shen who sent me..."

Bai Xiu set down the airship and then said, "Something happened there at the Northern Frontier..."

He briefly introduced the situation occurring at the Northern Frontier.

But Alf showed no reaction.

The small square floating in the air remained very calm.

It didn’t care at all about the generals at the Frontier or the wars in the Five Continents...

In Alf’s eyes, what was happening in the Five Continents essentially had nothing to do with it.

The Initial is the Initial, the Five Continents are the Five Continents; these are two independent civilizations. Its meaning in life is to wait for the "master" to return or to find the relic the "master" left behind. This is why it has been submerged at the bottom of the Ice Sea for so many years, it does not care what the outside world becomes.

War, peace, they are all just waves in the river of time.

Seeing Alf’s reaction, Bai Xiu sighed lightly.

From the start, he had noticed something was off...

This small square AI didn’t seem impressed by Gu Shen’s name.

But before his departure, Gu Shen had anticipated this situation, he was quite self-aware.

Gu Shen told Bai Xiu, if he couldn’t persuade the intelligent AI called "Alfred," to invoke Gu Xiaoman, as her name would work better here on the Initial side.

"Currently, the wars of the Five Continents are directed at the Central Continent... Incidentally, at the moment, Gu Xiaoman is in the Central Continent."

Seeing this, Bai Xiu decided not to beat around the bush.

He directly brought up the most crucial person.

"Gu Xiaoman is in the Central Continent? Isn’t she together with Gu Shen? Didn’t Gu Shen protect her?"

Upon hearing this, Alf’s reaction was indeed different.

"This matter is a bit lengthy to explain."

Bai Xiu took a deep breath and sincerely requested, "If possible, I hope this massive warship can sail north. With your assistance, this war can certainly end quickly, and Gu Xiaoman will surely be unscathed..."

Upon hearing this, Alf’s tone changed once again.

"So—"

It coldly asked, "Are you here hoping the ’Initial’ would intervene in human warfare?"

"..."

Bai Xiu was speechless.

But... yes.

That’s precisely what Gu Shen meant.

After being bombarded by Chanyi City, Gu Shen had already sensed trouble; if the Deep Sea fully controlled the inland and Transcendent wars broke out... then relying solely on the power of the East Continent and North Continent, could they truly resist the Deep Sea?

The answer was no.

Gu Shen’s most optimal solution was to employ magical artillery.

If the power of the East Continent and North Continent wasn’t enough, then seek external help!

The "Initial," resting quietly in the East Sea, was Gu Shen’s ideal backup choice!

The "Red Shadow Robots" inside the Initial, if they could join the war, then these Red Shadow Armies could effortlessly destroy an entire Cloud Ship Fleet. As long as the Divine Throne and Origin Strong People didn’t show up, these Red Shadows would be invincible, after all, the civilization of the Lord of Melting Iron completely crushes the current Five Continents!

Bai Xiu softly spoke, trying to persuade, "It’s not as though you would intervene in warfare. If the ’Initial’ sets out from the East Sea, skirts around the inland, and proceeds along the northern edge of the land... it could reach the northern part of the Fortress. No need for you to fire a shot, just arriving there would grant the North Continent considerable powerful deterrence."
