Chapter 696: War Suspicion
"Delta, are you sure what you saw was really one month later?"
Bai Qi sat on Delta's head, looking at the coastline that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance, and asked.
Bloopers.
(The scene Delta saw was very brief, but from the perspective of time perception, it should have been a month later.)
Delta nodded slightly and said.
"You saw one month, and Tarot Crow saw half a month... Could it be that you saw two different wars?"
Bai Qi stroked his chin, thoughtfully.
"Brother Qi, could it be that the Tarot Crow made a mistake?"
Bai Yuxiao expressed her opinion.
"It shouldn't be. After all, the Tarot Crow is a legendary creature, and this is an official notice from Bureau Thirteen, so it must have been verified."
Bai Qi shook his head. A few days ago, the teacher received a notice from the Thirteenth Bureau, requesting the teacher to go to the west to help the army prepare for war, so the teacher left in a hurry.
Since the Thirteenth Bureau has invited the teacher to take action so formally, there must be nothing wrong with it.
However, Bai Qi didn't think that the information Delta saw was wrong. It couldn't be false if it could move the river of time.
"That is to say, the war between the Federation and the tribes will last at least half a month. This is getting serious..."
Bai Qi rubbed his brows. Although the beast tides in various places have been increasing in scale and frequency during this period, the fact that they have lasted for half a month is self-evident.
The peace period that had lasted for more than twenty years between the Federation and the tribes was officially declared over.
"But since we knew about the war in advance, the initiative is in our hands, and the losses should be kept to a minimum."
Bai Qiucha's eyes were firm as he said, "The current federation is no longer the federation that needed to rely on sacrifice to protect the majority of people."
"Indeed."
Bai Qi smiled and looked at the Ice-footed Sea Lice King and the Thirteen Guardians who were following them closely on both sides, and behind them were densely packed huge sea beasts.
"With the help of the sea, the Federation's numerical disadvantage has been eliminated."
The image Delta saw was too brief to determine the tribe's specific attack location, but the image Tarot Crow saw was very clear, and the location was in the west.
Bai Qi and others were not at all surprised by this. After all, with the successive defections of the Borg family and the Sima family, the West had become the weakest region in the Federation, and it was reasonable for the tribe to choose this place as a breakthrough point.
It is for this reason that, due to the alliance agreement, and also in order to further strengthen its influence in the Deep Sea Alliance, West Sea readily sent reinforcements to assist the Federation in fighting against the tribes.
The war was about to break out, and as a legend, Bai Qi had no choice but to go to the front line. However, he was a few days late because he needed to lead the sea beasts.
"I hope the sacrifices can be minimized this time."
Zhuge Chen was a little sad. Although he had never experienced war, he still knew some of the situation because of his second uncle who was in the military.
Not to mention the past two years, even the previous twenty years, the so-called peace period of the Federation was achieved at the cost of the continuous sacrifices of countless soldiers.
Now that the war has restarted, even if the Federation has made early preparations, sacrifices are probably inevitable.
“So, for the sake of peace, let’s do our best~”
Bai Qi let out a long sigh, patted Zhuge Chen on the shoulder, and said, "But Zhuge Chen, are you really sure you want to go to the front with us?"
"Of course. I have mastered the ability to fight now. I just can't hide behind and enjoy your protection."
Zhuge Chen's face was serious. Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao beside him also nodded, obviously they had the same plan.
"Well, I'll think about how to arrange you after I meet with the teacher."
Bai Qi nodded helplessly upon seeing this. Bai Qiucha was fine, after all, he was a sixth-rank beastmaster, with the two great talents of bondage spell and psychic, his combat power could not be taken lightly.
As for Bai Yuxiao, although he is only at the fifth level, he has been trained in the Wall of Desolation. Zhuge Chen's actual combat experience is pitifully little. Although he has successfully contracted the Ice Fang Sea Lion and awakened the fifth bond curse, Bai Qi is still unsure about letting Zhuge Chen participate in the war.
If something happens to Zhuge Chen, Zhuge Xu will probably fight him to the death, right?
…
Britta family port.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, Legend of Bai Qi."
Charles Britta had a smile on his face and walked quickly towards Bai Qi. After seeing the dense group of sea beasts behind Bai Qi, the smile on his face became even brighter.
The sea is synonymous with endless resources.
The Deep Sea Alliance is the only entity qualified to control these resources today.
Bai Qi is currently the only person at the helm of a non-governmental organization that can cooperate with the Deep Sea Alliance.
In fact, in Charles' eyes, Bai Qi's identity is more important than his current legendary strength.
Perhaps one day, the Britta family will be able to connect with the Deep Sea Alliance through Bai Qi's connections. By then, their Britta family's maritime business will be unimpeded.
"Mr. Charles, thank you for making such a special trip."
Bai Qi jumped off Delta's head, glanced at the neatly lined-up soldiers around the port, and said.
In order to accommodate the sea beasts that came to support, the Britta family's port was also requisitioned by the military, but looking at Charles's expression, he seemed to be quite looking forward to it.
"No trouble, everything is for the Federation."
Charles's face straightened, his eyes swept across the back of Bai Qi's left hand, and a smile appeared on his face again, saying: "I haven't had time to congratulate Bai Qi for becoming a legend yet. He was promoted to a legend at such a young age. He is definitely the first person in the history of the Federation."
"Mr. Charles is overrated."
Bai Qi said: "By the way, although many of the sea beasts that came this time are amphibious creatures, they are relatively large in size, so we still need to trouble the Britta family to make some arrangements."
"Don't worry, we are ready."
Charles nodded slightly, pointed to the ports that had been cleared, and said, "This area, including the dozen or so ports around, all belong to our Britta family. They have all been cleared out to accommodate everyone from the Deep Sea Alliance."
"That's good."
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.
"Bai Qi Legend, thank you for your hard work!"
A loud voice came into Bai Qi's ears. Bai Qi looked and saw a man in a navy uniform walking up to him and saluted seriously.
"Admiral Huang Yuan, on behalf of the entire navy, thanks Bai Qi Legend for his help!"
"Hello, General Huang."
Bai Qi returned the greeting, then looked at the Ice-foot Sea Lice King and said, "Then I'll leave the coastline to you."
"Don't worry, with us here, the tribe will never be able to get close to the inland from here."
The Ice-footed Sea Lice King patted his chest confidently, and the Exploding Killer Whale next to him showed a ferocious smile, obviously looking forward to the upcoming war.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Bai Qi nodded slightly. Judging from the intelligence sent by Bureau Thirteen, many of the tribes bordering the western part of the Federation were aquatic creatures, so they had every reason to believe that the tribes might launch an attack together by water.
Although the Federation is now very powerful, the tribes have a huge numerical advantage, and it will still be difficult for the Federation to disperse its military forces.
So this time, the Federation specifically asked its allies for help to protect the coastline together and ensure that there is no worry in the rear.
With the sea beasts and the navy working together, it is basically difficult for the aquatic creatures of the tribe to get close.
"General Huang, I still have to go to the border to check, so I'll leave first."
After exchanging a few polite words with Huang Yuan, Bai Qi expressed his intention to leave. Huang Yuan did not stop him and personally sent Bai Qi to the car.
The legendary beastmaster was definitely the Federation's most important force in the fight against ferocious beasts. This had nothing to do with age, Bai Qi's strength was enough for Huang Yuan to treat him this way.
"Mr. Charles, can you tell me what's going on?"
Once in the car, Bai Qi went straight to the point.
"Just as the government announced, a large number of ferocious beasts have gathered outside the western border. The tribe has no intention of hiding it and is obviously very confident in itself."
Charles finally showed a trace of worry on his face, and said: "From the looks of it, the tribe may have completed its integration."
"That should be it."
Bai Qi frowned slightly. In fact, it was not just the west. Other parts of the federation had also received news of the tribal gathering. Although the scale of other places was not very large, the meaning of such a unified action was quite obvious.
"They came together so suddenly. Could it be that the black dragon defeated the old wolf?"
Bai Qi fell into deep thought. He had personally experienced the horror of the Black Dragon. Add in the fact that the Black Dragon was in collusion with the Round Table of Death, it might really be possible.
If these two forces collude, this war may be more difficult than they imagined.
"No, I have to talk to the teacher."
Thinking of this, Bai Qi no longer wanted to take the car. He directly summoned Delta, tearing through the void and heading towards the border.
"Mr. Charles, please send them to the front line. I have something to do and need to leave first."
"Brother Qi, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
The abandoned Bai Qiucha and the other two looked at each other, and Bai Yuxiao was even more confused.
"Didn't the war start in half a month? It won't take a little while, right?"
"Bai Qi must have thought of something and wanted to prepare early."
Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, "Although the Federation will definitely be fully prepared, war cannot tolerate mistakes. Avoiding risks in advance is the safest behavior."
As he spoke, Bai Qiucha glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, and seemed to have sensed something was happening. He suddenly stood up, opened the skylight on the top of the car, jumped out, and summoned a bone dragon to chase after Bai Qi.
"Is it really okay for you to be so curry..."
Bai Yuxiao and Zhuge Chen looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this, wanting to chase after them, but as they watched the two men disappear in an instant, they sat back silently.
Let’s forget about chasing these two beasts…
"Mr. Charles, thank you for taking us there..."
"It's my job."
