Chapter 882: Chapter 456: Actions of the Holy Revolution Army

"Hmm?" Clyde was a bit puzzled, "I have no intention of becoming President, I just want these people to have a place to settle."

"If you’re not planning to, then why are you on the path of personal worship?" the old man retorted.

"What personal worship?" Clyde was confused.

The old man shook his head, "You can’t fool me, face your heart..."

As the words fell, Clyde was stunned, his expression became dazed, murmuring, "I don’t want to be President, I just want these people to live in peace and prosperity..."

The old man’s expression became uncertain, scanning Clyde up and down, his face growing inexplicably.

Clyde returned to his senses, still unaware of what had happened, glanced around, and only then did he realize that fully armed soldiers had already surrounded them layer by layer.

"Stop!" Suddenly someone shouted, and a high-ranking officer with a solemn face came out from behind, "Put down your guns!"

"General Ron..." Clyde was even more confused, while the other party quickly stepped forward, whispering, "This is the envoy of the Holy Revolution Army—Lord Florian, who just arrived not long ago."

"Envoy of the Holy Revolution Army?" Clyde looked at the old man in surprise.

Florian had not yet spoken, his face moved slightly, an energy shield popped out, encapsulating the two but isolating the high-ranking officer outside.

Subsequently, he took out an intelligent terminal, vibrating incessantly, and after connecting, came a rough voice filled with anxiety and restlessness:

"Lord Florian, Saint Saunders and Saint Fenite were killed three hours ago."

Saints?

Clyde was stunned, this name was not unfamiliar to him.

Rumor has it that the saints of the Holy Revolution Army are at least S level life forms, a level only the strongest in their Federation Republic could attain, capable of inflicting devastating damage to a planet.

"Such quick action?" Florian’s face slightly changed.

The voice on the other end carried grief and anger, "The High-level Life Form Alliance, once they strike, it’s a thunderous blow, and many civilizations use them as mercenaries, and they are mercenaries who cost nothing."

"Many civilizations were unprecedentedly proactive, applying for military aid, providing intelligence support."

"In just a few months, many resistance organizations have been severely suppressed, and it won’t be long before people’s hearts will scatter."

Florian pondered, "Give the order to continue gathering."

"Still continue to gather?" the voice couldn’t help but say, "This High-level Life Form Union, once they made us their target for establishing dominance, are we really going to comply with the Empire’s intentions?"

"Otherwise, do you want to fight?" Florian retorted, "The High-level Life Form Union plus the Empire, along with the proactive efforts of various civilizations, how do we fight?"

"But just hiding like this..." the voice unwillingly said, Florian frowned, continuing to ask, "What are the internal thoughts?"

The voice showed slight hesitation before stating, "Split and win over, according to the information, there were two abstentions in the voting at that time, one being Divine Craftsman Azure Dragon, and the other Star Gate Master Anduin."

"The internal opinion is to first win over Star Gate Master Anduin..."

Before the words were finished, Florian interrupted, "Why woo Anduin? And not Azure Dragon..."

The other party immediately explained, "Azure Dragon’s situation is somewhat complex, on one hand, his own strength performance is quite a bit lacking compared to Anduin, and the force under his command is only the Mechanical Court on the surface."

"On the other hand, due to the issues with the Mechanic Association, he is already overwhelmed, even if wooed, there isn’t much use."

Clyde’s eyes flickered, these names were not unfamiliar to him, all were major figures disrupting the interstellar realm, each very formidable.

"What do you think, if you agree, we’ll prepare to act." the other side asked again.

Florian pondered but did not answer, instead looked at Clyde, slowly asking, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Clyde was stunned.

Florian smiled, his attitude becoming much more gentle, "Tell me, I want to hear your perspective."

"Who are you talking to?" the voice in the intelligent terminal was puzzled.

Clyde hesitated, "I think wooing external aid is normal, but the one who needs to be wooed isn’t the Star Gate Master, but Divine Craftsman Azure Dragon..."

"Oh?" Florian seemed to gain more interest, "Go on."

Clyde pondered, "This Lord Azure Dragon, on the surface, he doesn’t seem to be very noticeable, but he is not only one of the founding ten of the High-level Life Form Union, but also a Divine Craftsman of the Mechanic Association, this organization is nearly spread across interstellar civilizations."

"It’s even said he has a vaguely good relationship with the Empire, serving as a hub for uniting various parties."

"And, he has a good reputation, though the Star Gate Master is formidable, cooperation with him would go against the principles of the Holy Revolution Army."

Florian nodded, seeming more and more satisfied, and said, "To you, someone like Azure Dragon is too high a position, but you seem to know quite a bit about him."

Clyde smiled wryly, "Figures like these, a slight movement in the interstellar realm could have a great impact on us, impossible not to keep an eye on."

"For instance, the recent turmoil in the Mechanic Association, several nearby civilizations’ mechanics stopped working, causing us to go without updated weaponry for a long time."

"But after recent negotiations ended, nearby mechanics are preparing to resume work, we’ve just placed an order, to be delivered in three months, although the price increased by 35%."

He sighed, the battles of major figures, for them, are an unbearable weight.

Florian smiled before finally speaking, "Did you hear that, Azure Dragon’s value far exceeds Anduin."
