Chapter 759: Chapter 5 Kings Meeting [Part 2]

Hartman, determined to eliminate the Martial God at the earliest opportunity, pushed a fleet operating in deep space into a planetary gravity well at all costs.

For the deep space fleet, the most critical attributes were "power of the main gun," "range," and "thrust." As long as the ratio of thrust to weight went up, then giant warships could intuitively fly faster than smaller spacecraft.

For the deep space fleet, "counteracting atmospheric drag and planetary gravity" were not necessary considerations. For the most part, only the planetary defense forces of solid planets and the aerospace fleet of gaseous planets needed to consider these factors.

"The military" is a highly specialized collective, with different parts having different functions and specializations.

The primary purpose of a deep space fleet is generally not to engage in ground combat. Its existence is meant to destroy satellites and space cities in cosmic space, severing connections between planets, allowing planetary troops to attack the ground without reservations.

Once the colossal deep space warships entered the planetary gravity well, the celestial gravity would uniformly act on every part of the warship. Limited by the level of material science, some deep space warships might even deform due to inadequate shear resistance if they moved too swiftly.

It’s not that the deep space fleet is incompetent. In the old days, no one thought that "aircraft carriers can’t fight land battles" was a flaw of aircraft carriers.

But Hartman’s move to push the deep space fleet into a synchronous orbit was seen by the Kings as a less than clever play.

Due to Earth’s gravity, the Sky Star Fleet could only retreat slowly. If it rashly turned, it would expose its vulnerable rear to potential ground attackers.

The Sky Star Fleet could not withdraw for the time being.

At this time, the Sky Star Fleet could only maintain a retreating posture until it reached near the Lagrange Point, where it could move swiftly.

Alternatively, a planetary troop could occupy a near-Earth orbit and counterattack any daring enemies.

And the Heavenly God King was very dissatisfied with this.

Space within the Parsifal Satellite Group was limited; a large fleet could not act freely.

At this time, the best solution was to dispatch an elite fleet or send the strongest team of Martial Artists to execute a decapitation strike on the White Fleet Prosthetics Followers.

As long as the White Fleet Prosthetics Followers was crushed, the Red Star Prosthetics Followers positioned on the Parsifal Satellite Group could only await their end.

King Aqini always believed that the threat from Xiang Shan was greater than the battle situation in Jupiter’s universe.

The chaos in Jupiter’s universe was also a chain reaction incidentally caused by the resurrection of the Martial God. As long as the Martial God was eliminated, many problems would be solved. Therefore, he would try as long as there was a sliver of possibility.

And the Heavenly God King simply did not care about the overall situation, only about the losses on his own record.

—Master Hartman, in pursuit of that woman, could even throw the Old Celestial Fleet in front of the Sixth Martial God. He truly didn’t care about "recorded achievements."

—Speaking of this "solution"...

Romance King Zhuan Leibin’s gaze turned toward the head of the conference table.

It was a very vague figure. The King of Godspeed had only utilized the most basic digital modeling, a blue, hair-detail-lacking male human figure.

Sensing Zhuan Leibin’s gaze, the King of Godspeed shrugged, "I’m not interested. Unless there is a direct command from Father, I have no interest in participating in battles within the Solar System."

—As expected...

Zhuan Leibin shook his head.

The King of Godspeed, Haya Veight, the adopted son of His Majesty. He was also unique among the Kings.

The King of Godspeed was the only one among the Kings who did not have a fleet. Even if the Brave King’s domain was inside Jupiter’s atmosphere, he also had some deep space warships to protect his satellites, spacecraft, and spaceports. But the King of Godspeed did not.

The "Swift Corps" under the King of Godspeed, in terms of scale and positioning, was merely equivalent to the Royal Guards of other Kings.

But no one dared to underestimate the King of Godspeed for this reason.

The martial arts of the King of Godspeed had already reached the Divine Realm, and even the reincarnated Martial God was inferior to him.

The Swift Corps were also among the elite of the elite, each of its members, placed in other military forces or in Jianghu, could become a greatly famous master.

The King of Godspeed could directly execute decapitations against any fleet, directly disrupting the command system. However, other than internal exercises, the King of Godspeed had only demonstrated this capability during the period of the Seventh Martial God’s insurrection.

According to the schedule previously announced, Godspeed Court had already ended the acceleration phase and just passed beyond Jupiter’s orbit. If the King of Godspeed wished, he could reverse course with the Swift Corps and strike at both the White Fleet Prosthetics Followers and Red Star Prosthetics Followers within Jupiter’s universe.

Yet the King of Godspeed seldom fought. He almost never engaged in fleet combat. Only after receiving rescue signals involving "small numbers of elite troops invading critical areas," would he decide to act according to his mood, and whether or not he would kill the enemy depended entirely on his personal likes and dislikes.

The Kings did not appreciate this attitude. But the true duty of the King of Godspeed was only "to guard the Godspeed Court." He could just keep circling the Solar System with that colossal entity, and no one else could complain.

Furthermore, no one dared complain.

The Father of All Machines did not have offspring related by blood, having adopted only one child. Although their relationship could not be described as harmonious, it was not bad either.

The conversation between Zhuan Leibin and the King of Godspeed had caused King Aqini to turn his attention their way. King Aqini was merely a cylinder, but the Romance King could feel the signal of "attention."

King Aqini asked, "Your Highness Romance King, can your Svalbard Corps arrive in Earth’s universe on schedule to coordinate with the Sky Star Fleet for withdrawal?"

More gazes focused on Zhuan Leibin.

Zhuan Leibin then began to consider.

The Kings indeed had different levels of closeness. The King of Godspeed did not associate with others, while King Aqini was the most loyal supporter of the Father of All Machines. The three replacements formed their own faction, while the remaining six also had subtle differences in stance.

The Heavenly God King and Brave King, being too close, had quite some friction between them. But on this issue, they were united in needing to quickly resolve this matter.

They, undoubtedly, were the most eager for the Svalbard Corps to free the Sky Star Fleet.

But not everyone hoped for this.

And Zhuan Leibin sadly discovered that these differences in stance among the Kings seemed to be exactly what the Father of All Machines expected. The Father of All Machines did not expect loyalty or unity from the Kings.

He said, "According to the positions of the stars, the newly established Mars Defense Corps can also carry out this task. The Human Gene Bank is the most crucial location and must not be compromised. I cannot deploy the entire Svalbard Corps."
