Chapter 1059: Displaying Military Might Across Domains
Chapter 1059: Displaying Military Might Across Domains
Feng He Shou of Lang Tao Guan, Hu Kan of Yuan Yang Kaiuo Group, and a martial artist from Canglong Company were all present on the airship.
However, the real reason was to intentionally showcase Daxun's combat capabilities deployed in the outer seas, with the aim of deterring the Federation from investing its forces in the outer seas.
The three martial artists, along with these troops and the unmentioned Active Mindsayer, and more importantly, the utilization of Horizon, meant that as long as this forward pivot point could hold out for a while, continuous support from the rear could be sustained. This made the ambition of expanding into the outer seas without resorting to war an impossible endeavor.
Chen Chuan emerged from the airship cabin and stepped onto the open platform, gazing at the airship squadron in the sky.
Upon seeing Chen Chuan, Feng He Shou's expression turned solemn. He gripped the hilt of the long sword at his waist and bowed slightly.
Hu Kan, on the other hand, grinned and clenched his fist towards Chen Chuan. Even the martial artist who had never met Chen Chuan before displayed a very serious demeanor and respectfully saluted in his direction.
At that moment, Wang Tongshan and Bian Zhijie also stepped out from inside, while Gui Zihan from Haidongdao appeared on another airship.
Although Gui Zihan was in his twenties, he looked very young, like a teenager. He was not tall and even seemed a bit short for a martial artist. He held an ancient sword in his arms and exuded an aura that warned others to keep their distance.
After they came out, they witnessed this scene. With their keen perception, they sensed an indescribable aura emanating from the three martial artists, distinctly different from their own. After a moment of contemplation, they immediately understood that this was something only experienced by martial artists who had gone through life-and-death battles.
This was acquired through life-and-death battles with other martial artists or by entering the Rongjiaodi to hunt down those super-limit beings. In contrast, they had been focusing on cultivation and had not gone through such experiences.
This was quite normal. Firstly, they were relatively young and had not yet reached that stage. Moreover, martial artists would not easily waste the energy within their bodies, whether towards their allies or enemies, unless it was a senior willing to sacrifice for them. As a result, it was rare to find someone willing to spar and hone their skills with them.
The Capital was different from other places, as it also had domain resources that martial artists could utilize. However, these resources were limited, and they did not receive much of them. Furthermore, using these resources would also consume their energy, so their actual combat experience was quite limited.
However, if one were to talk about truly experienced martial artists, it would probably be that one person.
Unconsciously, their gazes shifted towards Chen Chuan. They had all seen Chen Chuan's publicly available information, and even that was enough to surpass many other martial artists.
Initially, they had only known of Chen Chuan through these records, but upon seeing him in person, both Wang Tongshan and Bian Zhijie felt a shiver run down their spines, their hair standing on end. Even Gui Zihan instinctively tightened his grip on the ancient sword.
This was an automatic reaction to encountering extremely dangerous entities. Although Chen Chuan did not project his domain outwards, as martial artists, they could perceive things that ordinary people could not, thus triggering their innate stress response.
Chen Chuan nodded slightly to Feng He Shou and the others, then glanced around before returning to the cabin. Meanwhile, the airships and vessels from Haidongdao were arranged on both sides, maintaining an escort formation, with the warships below leading the way.
Gui Zihan remained silent for a moment before turning back to his cabin.
Wang Tongshan and Bian Zhijie exchanged a glance and then turned back as well. Once they reached the main cabin, they both exhaled a sigh of relief.
Bian Zhijie still felt a bit shaken. Recalling the oppressive feeling he had experienced when he first laid eyes on Chen Chuan, he hesitantly said, "This person's strength is so formidable. Perhaps only Mr. Fan can compare to him."
"Yes, probably," Wang Tongshan agreed, regaining his composure. "But he should still be no match for Mr. Fan."
Bian Zhijie nodded in agreement.
After all, Mr. Fan was sent by the Capital as the chief security advisor for the first diplomatic mission. The Federation was not Daxun, and its environment was complex and ever-changing, with numerous dangers. Without sufficient military might, it would be impossible to ensure the safety of the entire diplomatic team.
Furthermore, they had heard that Mr. Fan had been listed as a candidate for the reserve pool of the highest advisory group. He was indeed a figure worthy of admiration.
Over the past two years, some of the hawkish figures within the delegation had been removed from their positions or recalled to their home country.
One of them was named Cai H Montana White, and the other was named Olin Blackwood. They were typical federal officials, with neatly trimmed hair, always presenting a healthy image. They embodied the typical style of the East Coast Party.
Cai H Montana White said, "Horizon has demonstrated its immense advantages, connecting the originally dispersed Central City. The federal government also needs to improve its systems and laws to integrate the various dispersed states into a more cohesive whole."
Olin agreed with him, "Daxun's maritime armed forces have already taken shape. Unless we engage in a full-scale war, it will be impossible for us to reclaim the Oceanic Archipelago. The West Coast Party's plan to support proxies has failed, and after twenty years of effort, we have gained nothing. We should not invest more. The strategy of the Executive Officer is correct. Our focus should be on competing with the Yinuo Continent for the unclaimed areas of Samawdжа, and also..."
He did not finish his sentence, but Cai H Montana White understood his meaning and nodded slightly, saying, "This time, when we return, the West Coast Party will definitely try to cause trouble."
"In this regard, we can trust our friends."
Olin appeared optimistic, "Their security investment is substantial, and with Mr. Prabhakar here, my friend, we can rest assured."
Cai H Montana White, however, maintained a more cautious attitude. "The West Bank Party wouldn't dare to openly attack the delegation, but they might seek out those fanatics. I think we should communicate amicably with Daxun on this matter, especially with this one..."
He tapped on the Boundary Talisman, and Chen Chuan's figure appeared on the screen.
"According to our insider information, this person is likely a Martial Artist who has reached the Sacred Text level. If we can get his personal assurance, the Executive Officer is waiting for us to return. We shouldn't let him down, right?"
Olin took a look and said, "My friend, your suggestion is very reasonable. We should indeed take responsibility for our own safety. However, I think to win the commitment and friendship of such a powerful Martial Artist, the price won't be small."
"Nothing is more important than our safety."
"Yes, yes."
Olin didn't tap on the Boundary Talisman but instead walked to the side and picked up the airship's receiver. "Get Pros on the line. Pros? We need you to do something..."
After speaking, he put down the receiver and said, "My friend, you also need to go and explain to Master Prabhakar that we are not disrespecting him; we are just adding an extra layer of insurance."
"You always think so thoroughly." Cai H Montana White put on his top hat and said jokingly, "At your service, my Court Steward."
Olin played along and bowed slightly, returning a courtly gesture.
