Chapter 1089 - 990: The Best Opportunity! (Two Chapters in One)_2

This is an ancient nation that has dominated Aquablue Star for thousands and tens of thousands of years. It is said to be rich in treasures from the ancient Martial Dao civilization period, with an incredibly deep heritage and undoubtedly powerful hidden strength.

Faced with such a country, even things that seem completely nonsensical and illogical should not be taken lightly.

Any country's leader with a functioning mind would not focus solely on appearances.

At this moment, at the Skyhawk Empire Military Defense Base.

A blond, blue-eyed, middle-aged military man wearing a green uniform and appearing to be in his forties or fifties had a serious expression; he was the commander of this military base, named Dunnis.

He is a renowned general of the Skyhawk Empire, once leading a million-strong army in direct combat against the Dragon Country. At that time, Dragon Country had a Saint and three Innate Grandmasters, as well as many weapons comparable to the Skyhawk Empire's technological level.

The battle was extremely arduous, but Dunnis managed to repel the Martial Dao Saint of Dragon Country and even killed an Innate Grandmaster!

Besides this, he has also led many spectacular battles that could go down in history.

Currently, Dunnis is analyzing the motive and purpose behind Empress Taiyang's strange statement at this military base, and listening to him are generals with illustrious achievements in this era of war.

They are all capable of leading tens of thousands of troops anywhere, but in front of Dunnis, these people are very respectful; no one dares to be presumptuous.

"General Dunnis, what do you think about Dragon Country's Empress Taiyang and this matter?" one officer pointed to the analysis chart and materials on the table and said: "Empress Taiyang of Dragon Country is said to have reached the peak level of a Saint, and could be called a Saint Lord, possessing power and a body that far surpass us mortals. Do you think her statement this time holds some deeper significance?"

"At Empress Taiyang's level, ruling a nation as a Martial Dao Saint Lord, her actions surely have a deep meaning," Dunnis nodded slightly, speaking thoughtfully: "To analyze her true purpose, we need to consider various aspects, such as the global situation."

"The global situation?" Another officer seemed to suddenly understand and said: "Could it be because this world war has lasted too long and now is subtly stuck in a state of stalemate, where each day of continuation causes massive losses to the participating countries? Is Dragon Country unable to hold on?"

"Impossible, Dragon Country's main power lies with Martial Artists, whose losses should be far less than ours. Even if Dragon Country's technological level is slightly inferior to ours, their endurance in terms of resources should be much stronger than ours," Dunnis shook his head in denial, then added: "Since it's not a matter of losses, it implies Dragon Country could entirely accept continuing this stalemate state. So why would she hastily release a statement that provokes the whole world, given there's no necessity for Dragon Country?"

"General Dunnis, you mentioned there's no necessity for Dragon Country, but what if it's necessary for Empress Taiyang herself?" said an officer listening around the table: "Normally, Empress Taiyang making such a statement now seems an impossibility. As a head of the nation, she wouldn't be unaware of the consequences such actions could bring.

Yet, under such circumstances, she still issued the statement, challenging all countries and people of the world. It's unreasonable, and she has no motive, so I suspect this might have been forced upon her."

Forced!?

Once this speculation was voiced, people around fell silent, and all eyes turned to him, as if under a spotlight, focusing wholly on this individual.

In disbelief, utterly shocked expressions gazed at him like he was a madman.

What did he just say!?

Empress Taiyang was forced!?

How could that be!

She's a Saint, not an ordinary one, but a Saint with power refined to the pinnacle, reaching the apex of Saint levels, strong enough to be called a Saint Lord!

A Saint of such caliber, her own power could annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops, and even overturn a medium-sized country. If desperate, she could severely damage a nation like the Skyhawk Empire!

Who could threaten such a powerful individual?

Even if using Dragon Country's fate as leverage, it's improbable to coerce such a powerhouse!

"It's a nice thought, indeed possible, but very impractical," Dunnis laughed, shaking his head to dismiss this speculation, then adding: "But this does offer a perspective, which is that the statement is extremely necessary for Empress Taiyang, allowing her to obtain something she covets from this act."

"Could it be the chance to breakthrough to become a Great Saint!?"

"Would Empress Taiyang really have found the opportunity to become a Great Saint? How is that possible!?"

"If she becomes a Great Saint, then our Skyhawk Empire..."

People around began discussing worriedly, knowing although the Skyhawk Empire primarily develops technology, being inhabitants of Aquablue Star, they understand Martial Dao thoroughly and realize the terrifying strength of a Great Saint!

A power the current technological weapons cannot withstand, able to move mountains and fill seas, break rivers and stop streams, akin to a force of nature, making any nation or coalition seem fragile as ants before a Great Saint.

If Empress Taiyang truly becomes a Great Saint, there would be no suspense in Dragon Country unifying the globe, not even needing Empress Taiyang to take action; most nations around the world would choose to submit to Dragon Country.

Great Saint!

Unbeatable!!

Panic and fear spread throughout the military base, with many people's faces slightly pale, hearts filled with unease.

"If that's really the case, I think I know what Empress Taiyang intends to do," Dunnis laughed, untroubled, saying: "The so-called destruction of the Platinum Humanity Alliance and Black Gold Humanity Alliance, uniting the globe, should just be a facade Empress Taiyang pulled out."

"A facade?"

"What does it mean!?"

"Mr. Dunnis, what are you saying?"

"I don't quite understand."

Confused expressions faced Dunnis, seeking answers from him.

"After Empress Taiyang issued this statement, there's no turning back for her, meaning she has only one path forward, which is breaking through to become a Great Saint. Her current actions suggest she is fully confident about accomplishing this!"

Dunnis displayed a knowing expression, saying: "However, she's afraid that during her breakthrough, our two main alliances might interfere, causing failure, so she issued this earth-shattering statement, making us speculate and hesitate to act recklessly."

"Then are you suggesting?" everyone looked at Dunnis.

"What I mean is..." Dunnis revealed a slight cold smile and said: "Now is actually the best time to attack Dragon Country; pass my order, soldiers of the Platinum Humanity Empire, full-scale attack, strike Dragon Country!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!!"

...

Meanwhile, in a grand Golden Palace of the Black Gold Humanity Empire.

Individuals with dark skin dressed as shamans, wearing animal skin clothes and hats made of bird feathers, were kneeling respectfully before a king clad in golden armor.

"Noble king, the emperor of Dragon Country is reckless; should we wage war against her?" the leading shaman spoke: "Her statement defies your majesty and disregards your nobility; please allow us..."

Boom!!

At that moment, a deafening roar shockingly came from the skies above the Black Gold Humanity Alliance.

The ground shook and mountains quivered!

As if the sky was collapsing!

Meanwhile!

A bright light descended from heaven, utterly dazzling!

In an instant!

It enveloped an area spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers!!
