1745 What Can You Block With?

Chu Nan was not as optimistic as these people from the Declan Empire.

The reason why he formulated this plan was that even if it was much more difficult than directly killing and annihilating, he still had to capture a few Star-Grade Martial Artists of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance alive. Of course, it was not a last-minute thought, nor was it for the sake of creating captives. He purely wanted to study it.

He wanted to know why so many powerful martial artists so young and strong enough to reach the level of a Star-Grade Martial Artist had suddenly appeared in the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance.

The results of the research shocked him.

According to the careful investigation of these seven Star-Grade Martial Artists of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance who had been captured alive, Chu Nan confirmed that the seven of them were basically the same as the five Star-Grade Martial Artists he had encountered on Planet Bardi from the perspective of their cultivation methods and the exact situation inside their bodies.

The difference was that regardless of the physical condition of these seven people, the circulation of the cultivation method in their bodies, or their control and use of spatial energy, they were clearly much stronger than the previous five.

After interrogating these seven people and knowing that they were only ordinary Heaven Control Martial Artists two years ago, Chu Nan was even more certain.

Clearly, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance had improved greatly in using their unique biological genetic technology to complement the cultivation method studied by Feng Mingxi. It had even reached the extent of forcefully increasing an ordinary Heaven Control Martial Artist to a Star-Grade Martial Artist.

Although this Star-Grade Martial Artist seemed to be a little strong on the outside but weak on the inside, Star-Grade Martial Artists were still Star-Grade Martial Artists. They might not be able to defeat any Star-Grade Martial Artist in the Declan Empire in a one-on-one battle, but if they faced any other low-level martial artist, they would definitely crush them without a doubt.

Most importantly, they had the same strength as Star-Grade Martial Artists and could completely face other Star-Grade Martial Artists on the battlefield.

Then, with their complete numerical advantage, it was naturally impossible to resist.

It would be fine if that was all. After all, the numerical advantage could be exhausted through tactics like this battle. In the end, there was still hope of reaching a balance.

However, what shocked Chu Nan and the other higher-ups of the Declan Empire was that according to the information provided by these seven people, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance had really achieved mass production of Star-Grade Martial Artists like them!

They were only the second batch of Star-Grade Martial Artists who had been successfully “created”. After them, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance would only “create” more and more Star-Grade Martial Artists.

In fact, according to the higher-ups of the alliance, they were confident that they could transform every Heaven Control Martial Artist who met the requirements into a sufficiently powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist.

Although not all Heaven Control Martial Artists could meet the conditions, there were more than hundreds of thousands of Heaven Control Martial Artists in the Perseus Arm controlled by the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance. Even if only a tenth of them met the conditions, there were still tens of thousands.

If that was the case, it almost meant that the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance might “create” tens of thousands of Star-Grade Martial Artists.

This was a terrifying number.

Even if the strength of these “created” Star-Grade Martial Artists was much inferior to ordinary Star-Grade Martial Artists, as martial artists of the same level, they had ten times or even dozens of times the number advantage. This could not be considered a crushing strength advantage that could be completely ignored.

Facing such a terrifying difference in the number of top-notch personal combat strength, the entire Declan Empire that knew the news was almost in despair.

The three great factions of the Milky Way had always dreamed of clearly having enough Star-Grade Martial Artists to crush the various countries and become the overlord of the entire Milky Way.

Now that the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance had achieved this goal first, it meant that the fragile balance between the three great factions had been completely broken. It also meant that it was very likely that the Declan Empire that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years would be destroyed.

Of course, not everyone was completely in despair.

After obtaining enough information from those seven captives, Chu Nan boarded a spaceship of the Declan Empire’s military and brought the seven captives to Planet Lantis, the capital planet of the Declan Empire, accompanied by two high-level officers.

Ten days later, he successfully asked to see His Majesty Lekas.

“You think we still have a chance?”

It had only been less than a year since he last saw him. The current His Majesty Lekas looked much older and haggard than the last time Chu Nan saw him.

His eyes which had always seemed to be filled with vitality and spirit were also covered in a layer of shadow. His entire body was no longer as high-spirited and carefree as the first time Chu Nan saw him.

This was not only because of the pressure brought about by ascending the throne, but also because of the huge pressure brought about by the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance in the past year.

“Of course. Why not?” Chu Nan smiled, “Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but if even you lose your confidence, the Declan Empire will really be finished.”

This was a private meeting specially arranged by His Majesty Lekas at Chu Nan’s request. He was not worried that his words would anger others.

“I’ll only do this in front of you and others. I still have to maintain the dignity and powerful confidence of the ruler.” His Majesty Lekas smiled bitterly, “I only understand now why Gremayne was so straightforward when he handed over the throne. Even I’m in so much pain in this position. With his personality, he was even more unsuitable.”

Chu Nan could not help but roll his eyes.

The throne of the emperor of the Declan Empire was the highest position that almost everyone in the entire Milky Way was extremely envious of. In the end, not only did His Majesty Gremayne abandon it, but the current His Majesty Lekas also expressed extreme pain about this.

Of course, he did not believe His Majesty Lekas’ words.

Although he spoke as if he was in pain, it was only because the pressure brought about by the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance was too great recently.

Otherwise, why had he not expressed that it was very painful to be an emperor a few years ago?

“Alright, tell me, where do you think our chance is?” After all, His Majesty Lekas was not an ordinary person. After sighing, he quickly returned to normal and continued to ask Chu Nan, “According to the information, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance has already sent another 5,000 Star-Grade Martial Artists to the battlefield of the Sagittarius Arm. The Noctem Chamber of Commerce can no longer block their attack. There’s also information that shows that after a period of time, the same number of Star-Grade Martial Artists will join the battle with the empire. What do you think we can use to block them?”

Before Chu Nan could answer, His Majesty Lekas added.

“There’s also another piece of news. You might not have the time to pay attention to it on the way here. The Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance has already sent an announcement to the entire Milky Way, indicating that they have the ability to advance any Heaven Control Martial Artist who meets the requirements to a Star-Grade Martial Artist in a short period of time.”
