Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 411 - 114: Han Ling Forced to Self-Destruct? Yu Jin: Roll Out the Gundam! (2)

"..."

On the throne, Han Ling listened, his expression finally easing slightly.

He actually already had a rough understanding of this information.

But...

Hearing it from his subordinates always made him feel a bit more comfortable.

Additionally, it can also stabilize military morale.

If this young man were not indeed a subordinate he was accustomed to using, those dispiriting words he uttered earlier would have already led Han Ling to eradicate him completely.

Of course.

Even if the Evolvers of Dawn Fortress were at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Celestial God Civilization.

But...

As this Legion Commander said.

In interstellar war, even if the opponent hides within the Fortress Battleship, as strong as the Celestial God Civilization, they have no viable solutions.

The only solution——

Is to deplete the opponent’s Fortress Battleships through warfare.

Until the final moment, when it would evolve into a ’close-quarters combat’ fought by the Evolver Corps.

And now the problem is...

The warship corps of Dawn Fortress is more than three times that of the Celestial God Civilization.

On the throne.

Han Ling’s slightly eased expression turned gloomy again upon realizing this issue.

Han Ling did not speak.

The high-ranking officials below the throne remained silent as if in extreme cold.

Time passed gradually.

Finally, Han Ling made a decision.

"Self-destruct."

He spat out these two words.

Below the throne.

The high-ranking officials, including the Supreme Legion Commander, all widened their eyes and gasped in shock.

Self-destruct?

The self-destruction Han Ling referred to was naturally not the Evolvers, but the Fortress Battleships!

"Master, Master!"

"If we self-destruct..."

"Even if we eventually win the war, the Celestial God Civilization will suffer heavy losses, or even..."

The young commander dared not continue his words in the end.

Because he noticed that Han Ling’s face was once again covered with frost.

"Remember——"

"This is an order."

"I am not negotiating with you, nor have I given you the authority to refute."

On the throne, Han Ling’s voice was extremely indifferent.

To him——

Whether it was the Celestial God Civilization, his subordinates, or even billions of citizens, they didn’t matter.

All he cared about was Yu Jin, just killing Yu Jin, eliminating Yu Jin.

And this step——

Even someone as strong as Han Ling couldn’t bypass twenty thousand Super Large Fortresses to directly strike at the opponent’s head.

So...

Sacrifice was necessary, absolutely necessary.

"Understand?"

Han Ling spoke again.

In the conference hall, the high-ranking officials, their faces pale, still responded respectfully.

"Understood!"

On the throne, Han Ling withdrew his gaze.

"Dismiss the meeting!"

As his words fell.

Swish——

Swish swish——

The figures in the hall disappeared uniformly as Han Ling waved his hand.

And on the throne.

Han Ling began contemplating another matter.

"Should we strive to secure more Fortress Battleships from the Nash Clan?"

...

...

Dawn Fortress.

Tower of the Sky, at the top.

The Lord’s private area.

On the luxurious hundred-meter bed, Yu Jin sat cross-legged in the center.

And around the bed, there were many beautiful women.

Of course, Yu Jin wasn’t engaging in any grand harmony of life.

On the contrary.

He was having a meeting, just like Han Ling, conducting a high-level meeting.

The only peculiarity——

All the attendees of the meeting were women.

And they were all female Evolvers at the Tier Nineteen Limit.

Yin Yao, Naiya, Neil, Nasha, Dongfang Li...

Even the relatively weaker Yu Pan’Er had, under Yu Jin’s tireless efforts over the past half-month, successfully broke through to the Tier Nineteen Limit.

It’s no exaggeration to say——

All the Tier Nineteen Limit Evolvers of Dawn Fortress are present.

As for the other high-ranking officials, like Old Cui, Brother Gang, and his younger brother Yu Chen...

In the past half-month, they have also improved through crystal consumption, but since Yu Jin didn’t personally infuse them with energy, their tiers still lagged behind the women present.

Other than Yu Fei reaching Tier Nineteen, the others were temporarily stuck at Tier Eighteen, needing some more time to break through.

"Supreme Lord!"

"The situation on the battlefield is like this..."

At the front of the bed.

Carol, who carried an air of righteousness, seemed different from the others, respectfully said.

Just now.

As the Chief Commander of the Corps, she had clearly reported to Yu Jin the situation of the battlefield over the past three days.

This not only included the strength of the Fortress Battleships of the Celestial God Civilization but also the battle losses of the past three days and the advantages and disadvantages analysis of both sides in this war.

Among them.

Carol also directly pointed out that Dawn Fortress is at a huge disadvantage compared to the Celestial God Civilization in terms of the Evolver Tier.

Of course, the Evolvers mentioned here are just ordinary Evolvers, not the top combat force.

In terms of top combat force...

Among these ten or twenty Tier Nineteen Limits present, they are absolutely the most terrifying powerful beings at the pinnacle of the Star System Wasteland!

"What do you think?"

"Or rather..."

"Does anyone else have any thoughts?"

Yu Jin listened to Carol’s report, not surprised, but instead threw out the question.

"Hmm..."

"I think..."

"The current battlefield situation is favorable to us."

"What we need to do is continue to maintain it, trying to limit the war to between fortress warships, without involving the Evolvers..."

Naiya was the first to propose a thought.

As those words fell.

Several Moore Star little girls beside Naiya nodded in agreement.

"What about you, senior?"

Yu Jin looked over at Yin Yao.

"I think Naiya is quite right."

"But..."

"The Celestial God Civilization should be able to think of this as well."

"I’m worried they’ll use special plans to break the current war situation."

Compared to Naiya, Yin Yao clearly thought more deeply.

"For example?"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, pressing on.

"Self-destruction."

It wasn’t Yin Yao who spoke, but Carol.

Her tone even carried a strong certainty.

"Oh?"

Yu Jin was somewhat surprised.

This possibility hadn’t occurred to him.

After all...

Even as the fortress lord, throughout the war, he has mostly played the role of a hands-off boss.

In terms of actual war command and strategy, he might not even be as knowledgeable as some of the newly appointed commanders in the fortress.

"Hmm?"

Carol was preparing to answer Yu Jin’s question.

Immediately following, however, Liu Mei furrowed her brow.

Even though she was stationed at the rear, as the supreme commander, she received reports from the frontline...

"Lord!"

Carol took a deep breath, addressing him.

"Speak."

Yu Jin nodded.

"Alright."

Upon getting Yu Jin’s permission, Carol waved her hand, revealing the communication panel visible only to her in front.

On it was precisely the recent scene from the stellar battlefield.

That was...

The fortress warship of the Celestial God Civilization, bursting like fireworks.

However...

This firework was not caused by an attack from Dawn Fortress, but rather initiated by the enemy.

In other words...

"Self-destruction?"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t expected that just after Carol mentioned the term, it would immediately be confirmed on the battlefield.

"Yes."

Carol responded gravely, not showing any excitement or pride from the guess being validated.

Quite the opposite.

Carol’s face was filled with concern.

"Supreme Lord..."

"The self-destruction of fortress warships is extremely powerful..."

"Under this near-suicidal war strategy, even if our fortress warship numbers are superior, over time we may still be dragged into a ’mutual destruction, exhaustion’ situation."

"As it stands, the enemy has not launched a large-scale self-destructive assault, likely still evaluating the benefits..."

"If they truly decide to launch large-scale, or even full-on self-destructive assaults..."

"The war among fortress warships could end in a very short time..."

"After that, it would be direct engagement between the Evolver Corps, and in this arena, we do not hold an advantage..."

Carol voiced her thoughts.

Yu Jin listened, nodding silently.

"So?"

Yu Jin adhered to the philosophy ’let professionals handle professional things’, hoping more to find a suitable solution from Carol, the legion commander.

"..."

Carol did not answer immediately but instead fell into silence.

Time slowly passed by.

Yu Jin did not urge her.

Yin Yao, Naiya, and the others, while waiting quietly, all furrowed their brows in contemplation.

About ten minutes later.

Sigh—

Carol took a deep breath, breaking the silence.

"Supreme Lord..."

Carol looked up, facing Yu Jin, her eyes firm.

"Carol requests to fight!"

As these words came out.

Everyone present was slightly taken aback.

But they quickly understood Carol’s meaning.

Yu Jin’s face broke into a smile.

Rubbing his chin, he did not respond directly to Carol’s request.

Instead...

A thought crossed his mind.

Whoosh—!

Above Dawn Fortress.

A red, white, and blue Freedom Gundam pierced through the void, appearing!

Yu Jin himself felt a bit of itchiness to join as well.

Since Carol proposed this plan.

Then...

Yu Jin decided to once again be the pilot of the Assault Freedom Gundam, personally entering the fray, to engage in a hearty and exhilarating interstellar war!
