Free Web NovelChapter 1882: Chapter 1687: Will He Be Satisfied?
"The Ocean King Star’s Eastern Sea Dragon King Star Lord? Are you his granddaughter?" Lin Mo asked.
"Yes, my father is Ao Lie, the eldest son of the Eastern Sea Dragon King. Unfortunately, ten years ago, my father went to explore a Secret Realm and met with disaster, losing his life," Ao Rui replied.
Lin Mo nodded sagaciously. At this moment, Ao Rui lifted her head and took a furtive glance at the new ’World General.’ Contrary to her imagination of a dignified middle-aged man, he looked merely like a young man, yet refined and scholarly in appearance, lacking
any oppressive aura a supervisor might carry.
Moreover, regarding cultivation, he indeed had just broken through to the Star Domain Level.
With such standing, compared with Elong, who has been rooted in the Milky Way for thousands of years, aside from the ’Rider Captain’ title granted by the Star Sky Alliance, he truly had no advantage.
Lin Mo had already researched the situation in the Milky Way. Due to certain special circumstances, the previous World General had sacrificed himself on the Star Domain Battlefield. For a long time, the Milky Way hasn’t dispatched a new World General for management, always led by the Elong Star Lord.
Regarding Ocean King Star, Lin Mo also knew a bit, aware that it was a Water Star, suitable for the Shui Clan’s survival, with its Star Lord being the Eastern Sea Dragon King.
"Why didn’t your grandfather come personally?" Lin Mo asked, looking at Ao Rui.
Ao Rui didn’t expect Lin Mo to be so direct, blushing as she hesitated, "Grandfather went to Elong Star Lord, and other Star Lords are also in his palace, so grandfather sent me to greet the World General."
"Oh, they are all at Elong Star Lord’s place. They didn’t even know I would come? No people were sent to greet me?" Lin Mo sneered. Any spaceship nearing a planet would be detected by scouts concealed nearby; at least, when Lin Mo piloted the Blood Python near Elong Star, he sensed several concealed presences that then vanished, probably to report to Elong Star Lord.
Having received the message, Elong Star Lord still made no move, intending to give the new World General a hard introduction.
Ao Rui didn’t reply, unsure of how to, but disappointment subtly etched in her heart was genuine.
Elong Star Lord is acknowledged as the foremost power in the Milky Way, and since the Milky Way is his long-managed domain, merely dispatching a ’World General’ by the Star Sky Alliance to replace Elong Star Lord’s dominant position is indeed extremely challenging.
From Ao Rui’s view, this new World General seemed too young and straightforward, questioning how he might gather other Star Lords to confront the Elong Star Lord; tackling it alone was unmistakably futile.
On the other hand, the Star Sky Alliance is immensely strict with administration; it is not permissible to slay a Star Lord arbitrarily unless the Star Lord commits grave faults, otherwise, privately slaughtering a Star Lord would incur punishment from the Star Sky Alliance.
At the least, this newly appointed World General should have yet to establish a foothold within the Star Sky Alliance; employing force to subdue Elong Star Lord is practically impossible.
"My Lord, seems like Elong Star Lord doesn’t regard you highly, perhaps even setting up a trap for you, truly vile." Yingzi’s pretty face also harbors a trace of anger.
"If he truly treats me respectfully, it might become awkward to turn hostile," Lin Mo displayed a mysterious smile, "Come, let us go and see what tricks this Elong Star Lord intends to play; if he wants to play, I am willing to join."
Upon returning to Earth, Lin Mo encountered Jia Wu, Bai Wu, and Red Scorpion causing trouble on Earth, nearly causing harm to Sima Zining at their hands. Lin Mo, during this period spent with his parents, dared not display any hostility, having suppressed for a long time.
He achieved the Rider Captain position not through mere eloquence or flattery; he walked over bones and blood beneath his feet.
Ao Rui, with a youth and a group of Shui Clan guards, followed behind Lin Mo, directly heading towards Elong Star Lord’s palace, unsure of what Lin Mo planned.
"Mistress, this new World General might disappoint the Dragon King, too young, lacking any strategy. How could he gather other Star Lords to oppose Elong Star Lord," transmitted the young man beside Ao Rui secretly.
"These matters shouldn’t concern you; be cautious not to let the World General hear," Ao Rui glared at the latter, yet her face also bore a tinge of disappointment.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King originally aimed to stand on both sides; if the incoming World General possessed supremacy against Elong Star Lord, it’d be beneficial as the Eastern Sea Dragon King could gain capital. However, now it seemed the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s well-laid plans have gone wrong.
...
Inside Elong Star Lord’s Palace.
Hundreds of Star Lords from various planets sat within the palace, chatting and sipping tea, each waiting for the arrival of the new World General while engaging in conversation with close Star Lords.
At the palace center, a group of first-class songstress danced with long sleeves, accompanied by a musical ensemble playing enchanting melodies that faintly lingered in the ears.
A guard strode into the palace, kneeling on one knee, "Lord Elong, we have detected the new World General’s spaceship, moored beyond Elong Star, and seems to be arriving soon." "Oh, the new World General is finally coming?" Elong Star Lord, seated at the highest position, curled his lips into a strange smile, "I am curious to see what trick he might play, having not sent anyone to welcome him, surely he’ll be full of fire because? Without giving him some shock, he’d truly believe in dominating the Milky Way under the name of World General."
"Lord Elong, I’ve seen a procession including the Ocean King Star’s Eastern Sea Dragon King’s granddaughter, Lady Ao Rui." The guard continued.
Below in the palace, an elderly man adorned with a crown and dressed in a Five-clawed Dragon Robe sat motionlessly as if not hearing the guard’s report.
"Oh, the Eastern Sea Dragon King also sent Ao Rui to connect with our new World General, quite considerate." Elong Star Lord’s gaze fell on the Eastern Sea Dragon King, a flicker of anger passing in his eyes.
In the Milky Way, the Eastern Sea Dragon King and Elong Star Lord shared the most conflicts, albeit fearing the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s power. Unfortunately, the Eastern Sea Dragon King has grown old, even his eldest son Ao Lie perished in a Secret Realm, declining gradually. Initially, the West Sea Dragon King kept contacting him, aiming to overthrow the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s position. Elong Star Lord felt hesitant since a camel, even dying, remains greater than a horse; to topple the Eastern Sea Dragon King, significant cost must be borne. But this time,
Elong Star Lord appeared resolute.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King remarked, "The new World General is arriving promptly; as a Star Lord, dispatching someone to welcome is standard, right, Elong Star Lord?"
"Indeed, it’s well said. Now to see if the new World General will meet the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s satisfaction," Elong Star Lord sneered.
Implying hidden meanings between them, other Star Lords glanced at each other; following Elong Star Lord, receiving many benefits, aware of the consequences of offending him, some schadenfreude or sympathetic looks converging on the Eastern Sea Dragon King. Elong Star Lord stroked the Jade armrest, "Even if the Star Sky Alliance sends a World General, the Milky Way remains mine, Elong’s territory, whoever wishes to infringe my cake must weigh their abilities, lest they choke."
