Chapter 636: The Shadow Behind Them

Among all the countries in the Orion Arm, the Declan Empire was undoubtedly the strongest. Moreover, it was so powerful that it was almost impossible for other countries to compare.

However, if they put aside the Declan Empire and discussed which other countries were the strongest, at least half of the people would think that the United States of Melaita was the strongest.

This territory stretched from the outside of the spiral arm to the location near the silver heart. It covered a country more than 3,000 light-years away. It was one of the rare countries on the Orion Arm that focused on high-tech development. The strength of its martial artists was not weak at all.

Currently, there were already 108 Star-Grade Martial Artists who were clearly known in the United States of Melaita. Even compared to the other large country known for its martial artist strength, the Mortier Alliance, they were not much inferior.

Compared to the United States of Melaita, the strength of a small country like the Earth Federation outside the spiral arm was undoubtedly far inferior.

Now that they heard Bruce say that he actually saw the shadow of the United States of Melaita on the enemy, Uncle Mu Luo and the others were naturally surprised.

“How can you tell?” Uncle Mu Luo asked after thinking for a moment.

Bruce turned to look in the direction where the three remaining low-altitude shuttles had retreated with a strange expression.

“Our Chamber of Commerce has done some business on the border of the United States of Melaita in the past. I once had some conflict with their border guards and am relatively familiar with the regular army of the United States of Melaita. If I’m not wrong, many of the armed low-altitude shuttles in that fleet are the military models of the previous generation of the United States of Melaita Army.”

The expressions of the few Void Break Martial Artists from the Silisus Chamber of Commerce did not change, but the expressions of the people from the Seres Security Company were slightly strange.

Although Bruce did not say it clearly, they knew very well that the “business” he spoke of was some shady business that was similar to smuggling. Otherwise, why would he fight with the border guards of the United States of Melaita?

Uncle Mu Luo frowned, “Just this alone can’t determine that these enemies are related to the United States of Melaita. Perhaps they bought these weapons that have been eliminated by the military of the United States of Melaita from other channels.”

“Yes, that’s possible. However…” Bruce smiled bitterly, “Armor can be bought, but formations and attack patterns can’t. Although the performance of that fleet just now was not good, their formation and attack pattern are definitely identical to the low-altitude shuttle brigade of the United States of Melaita.”

Hearing the last sentence, Uncle Mu Luo and the surrounding Void Break Martial Artists of the Earth Federation fell silent.

Indeed, if even the formation and attack pattern of the low-altitude shuttle brigade were the same, it was difficult to say that they were directly bought.

This could only prove one thing. The enemy they encountered now was definitely related to the United States of Melaita. Moreover, it was very likely that it was a force directly trained and secretly funded by the United States of Melaita.

As for the goal…

The bitter smile on Bruce’s face deepened.

“It’s not the first time the United States of Melaita has done this. They have always had designs on the Sapphire Star Field. The first person they want to control is naturally our Planet Leppler. However, in the past, they would at most do some small things, but this time, they’re so ruthless.”

At this point, Bruce looked at Uncle Mu Luo and the others strangely.

Could it be that the sudden change in style of the United States of Melaita was because of the appearance of these Earthlings?

Thinking about it this way, it made sense.

This caravan from the Earth Federation had come here to seek cooperation. In the eyes of the United States of Melaita, it was very likely that the Earth Federation wanted to interfere in the Sapphire Star Field. That was simply like fighting for control of this Star Field with the United States of Melaita. The United States of Melaita naturally could not tolerate it.

However, this way, the facts hidden behind this conflict were too terrifying.

Although the Earth Federation was more than a thousand light-years away from the Sapphire Star Field and it was impossible for them to really invest much strength here, if this place really became the battlefield of two countries, it would definitely be a huge disaster for the Sapphire Star Field.

Uncle Mu Luo did not notice the change in expression on Bruce’s face. After hearing his answer, he pondered for a moment and said to Bruce seriously, “Mr. Bruce, in view of the unknown situation of the enemy, we’ve decided to pause the pursuit plan and retreat to Nightclub City. What about you?”

Bruce looked around and smiled bitterly, “Even if I want to do something else, I can’t.”

“Yes, good. There’s no time to lose. Let’s go save the fleets of the other chambers of commerce first and retreat together.”

“Okay.”

After the leaders of both sides finished discussing, Chu Nan had already treated the injured Void Break Martial Artists of the Silisus Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the two fleets gathered and set off together.

Knowing that Uncle Mu Luo and Bruce had actually decided to retreat, Chu Nan was a little disappointed.

He had finally perfected his cultivation method this time and was just thinking of fighting a huge battle and enjoying himself, but from the beginning to the end, he had only killed a few low-level Void Break Martial Artists.

Although he had easily suppressed it and verified that his strength had indeed increased compared to before, because he had not encountered a true expert, he felt that it was not enough.

However, he had signed a contract with the Seres Security Company after all, so it was not good for him to publicly violate Uncle Mu Luo’s orders. He could only obediently retreat with him.

Of course, it was not completely impossible to fight.

Next, when the two fleets went to save the fleets sent by the other large factions, they still encountered some Void Break Martial Artists sent by the enemy.

This time, Uncle Mu Luo did not deliberately order Chu Nan to stay behind and directly let him participate.

However, they had gathered the Void Break Martial Artists from both sides. In total, there were nearly 20 of them. Their numbers had already surpassed the enemy by a lot. Coupled with the already Void Break Martial Artists in the rescued fleet, they easily defeated the enemy and did not need Chu Nan to do anything.

Moreover, when he saw that the enemy’s Void Break Martial Artists were all low-level Void Break Martial Artists and no true experts appeared, Chu Nan was not too interested and simply focused on healing the injured.

It had to be said that his work was effective.

Under his hard work, no matter how injured the injured people in the few fleets were, as long as they did not die on the spot, Chu Nan could quickly save them.

After this trip, more than 30 people escaped death under Chu Nan’s hands, including six Void Break Martial Artists.

This was because countless people had recovered from their serious injuries.

In the end, when the alliance fleet gathered and returned, Chu Nan, who had not done much, obtained the highest reputation in everyone’s hearts. Almost everyone looked at him with gratitude and… surprise.

What magical cultivation method did this young kid learn? He could actually do such a magical thing?

With all kinds of strange emotions, the fleet returned safely.

As soon as they entered the range of Nightclub City, the fleets of the five great factions dispersed. The fleet of the Seres Security Company also returned to the temporary camp outside the city. Only Uncle Mu Luo brought his two subordinates and Chu Nan to find Dong Fang.

As soon as he saw Dong Fang, Chu Nan punched his chest without holding back.

“Damn, are you kidding me?”
