Chapter 1211 - Beauty Trap?

“Granda sending out god-class operators also represents Granda’s stance on the war. Although Granda is the Twilight Empire’s allied nation, in reality they are just a pet Caesar was keeping on a leash. A pet that would bite whoever Caesar told them to.” After receiving the news, Lingtian Independent Army’s brigade leaders were all gathered together like usual and discussing this information.

“Although Caesar hasn’t announced that they themselves will join the war, with Granda’s appearance, it means that as long as they have fully prepared themselves, they would definitely go against the Federation,” Qi Long said with a concerned expression on his face.

“A new intergalactic war may very well be happening soon...” Han Jijyun felt the situation was dire. If the Federation’s allied nations were not in position, the Federation could easily get into a situation of facing enemies at two different fronts. The outlook of the whole situation was not too good.

“It’s not a matter of ‘may’, but most definitely happening,” Li Lanfeng said with determination. “Caesar ordered Granda to activate two of their god-class operators to probe the number of god-class operators the Federation can send in.”

“What do you mean?” Compared to everyone, Li Yingjie was a little slow on the uptake.

‘Can’t he just make it clear the first time?’ Li Yingjie despised using his magnificent brain power to think.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Lanfeng glanced at Li Yingjie. Li Yingjie seemed to feel Li Lanfeng’s mocking glare. He opened his eyes wide and glared back in full force.

This was why he hated that bastard Li Lanfeng. He had that constant scheming look on his face and was overall not a good person. What was worse was that Elder Brother Shiyu was actually fooled by that person’s fake demeanor. Shiyu actually trusted him completely.

However, he couldn’t let his Elder Brother Shiyu continue to be fooled. He would one day definitely rip that mask off the evil man. Li Yingjie made a decision in his mind. The next time they had time to go back home, he would go to the archives and investigate Li Lanfeng’s background. Li Yingjie would definitely not admit that he was jealous of Li Lanfeng.

As for Li Yingjie’s angry look, Li Lanfeng only smirked slightly and then stopped staring. However, wanting to give his dumb little brother an out on the situation, Li Lanfeng began to explain, “Let’s take a look at the Federation’s boundaries.”

As Li Lanfeng was speaking, he put up the Huaxia Federation’s star map on the large virtual screen in the back of the conference room.

“Here, here and here...” He pointed at a few points near the Huaxia Federation’s intergalactic boundary. “These points were all nations that are allied with Caesar which are also our enemies. If these nations worked together, there would be three god-class operators. However, you all know that Caesar is involved, and Caesar has 11 god-class operators, only one fewer than us.”

Everyone all nodded after hearing those words to show that they agreed with him. Li Yingjie heard the explanation and became even more confused. After adding everything up, did their number of god-class operators not match with the total number combined by all these nations?

Li Lanfeng controlled the optical supercomputer once again. Not long after, a new star map appeared on the large virtual screen.

“Now, let’s look at Caesar.” Li Lanfeng pointed at the star map and said, “Here, here, here and here, are all the nations near Caesar who are our allied nations and also Caesar’s enemy. Add them all together, they have six god-class operators in total. Then that means Caesar can only use four of their god-class operators. If they go over that amount, they would have a hard time defending against the attacks by those nations.”

“Similarly, we must be on guard against Caesar’s four god-class operators and the three god-class operators from the other nations. The number of god-class operators we can move out is five maximum. If we go past that, we would have the same concerns as Caesar and the Federation would be in danger of being invaded. The opposition used Granda, which is far from our intergalactic space boundaries, and took out two god-class operators from there. In addition to the Twilight Empire’s three god-class operators, it would put the Federation at their limit. There doesn’t seem to be any other reason other than to get one more god-class operator over the Federation’s limit to force our forces to retreat. However, let’s not forget that there’s a big problem in the Federation. That problem is whether the oldest god-class operator Supreme Dragon can join the war. Caesar is trying to probe this information.” Li Lanfeng smashed his hand onto the table, “If the Federation were to retreat because of this, then that would prove that Supreme Dragon is longer able to pilot a god-class mecha and join the war. The advantage that we have with numbers will then no longer exist.”

Li Yingjie was shocked after realizing the situation. He knew well that after Ling Xiao returned to the Federation, Caesar was kept in check because of their advantage in numbers of god-class operators. If it was confirmed that the advantage was gone... The entire galaxy would change. The neutral nations who originally sided with the Federation might become neutral once again or even perhaps side with Caesar.

“The military headquarters will be able to see through Caesar’s plan and will definitely send in god-class operators to aid the army,” Han Jijyun stared at Li Lanfeng, with his eyes full with confidence. Now that he had grown up, he no longer feared Li Lanfeng suspecting his judgment.

Li Lanfeng calmly used his hands to gesture for Han Jijyun to speak his mind.

Ling Lan, who was sitting on the main seat, saw this gesture and raised her eyebrows. She looked at Li Lanfeng with a thought in her mind.

Feeling Ling Lan’s gaze, Li Lanfeng smirked and gave a look to her telling her to praise him. This made Ling Lan become completely speechless. She just stopped staring at him. Li Lanfeng had less and less of a moral compass recently. Ling Lan missed the old Li Lanfeng who would act and perform perfectly in every aspect. Although the perfect act made her uncomfortable, it was at least better than looks he gave her that were perverse and hurt her eyes.

Of course, Ling Lan’s speechlessness in Li Lanfeng’s eyes was just coldness and indifference. He put his head down with a disappointed look on his face. In the next second, he lifted his head again and returned to normal.

If that iceberg was so easily broken through, he wouldn’t have to think so much about it and use all the tricks in the book.

Li Lanfeng made a promise to himself. If nothing else works, he will have to use his ultimate technique, beauty trap. He had always hated his face. He didn’t think that one day it would become something that would save his life. It was the first time Li Lanfeng was grateful to his parents for giving him such an otherworldly face... With his previous experiences, it would probably be effective.

Every time he showed his face, Ling Lan’s endurance against him would be lower. As expected, men all cared about looks... Luckily, Ling Lan still hadn’t forgotten this instinct.

Ling Lan didn’t know that Li Lanfeng was already out of techniques, so he only had the beauty trap left... Ugh, let us pray for Ling Lan and hope she can successfully get past the test of the beauty trap!

Han Jijyun saw Li Lanfeng’s gesture and spoke up, “If we can think of these problems, then the military headquarters’ staff officers also will be able to predict it. No matter if Supreme Dragon can join the fight, the Federation will still send a god-class operator to the frontline army attacking the Twilight Empire. That is because the war this time represents the Federation’s dignity and public image, and one that they could not afford to lose.”

After hearing those words, Ling Lan nodded. Han Jijyun, who received his Boss’s recognition became even more confident, “Intergalactic war will happen, but it wouldn’t occur everywhere in an instant. Even if Supreme Dragon cannot join, the Federation will still have enough time to handle the situation when the actual intergalactic war erupts.”
