All the security officer aircraft either fled or were destroyed. There was no longer a single battle group left in the skies above Earth City
Only the ruinous remains on the ground told the story of the terrible war that had happened.
Jia Yan and Daphne were standing together.
"I didn’t expect you to become so much stronger." Daphne smiled lightly.
Jia Yan was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head with a smile in his heart.
"All right, our next steps need to be hastened. I don’t even know what reaction the interstellar civilizations will have tomorrow."
"They won’t come tomorrow; in fact, we have at least three more days. It will take time for the news to reach them, and for those civilizations to digest it. On this planet, any move from any civilization would have repercussions like a domino effect, even the Auster civilization wouldn’t attack us without discussing with other civilizations. They will give us the time they need to free themselves, so we have at least three more days," Daphne explained.
Jia Yan has always admired Daphne for her analytical abilities. Despite arriving at the Grey-Yellow Star at the same time, her understanding far exceeded his, which Jia Yan truly admired.
Upon hearing Daphne’s analysis, Jia Yan let out a sigh of relief and was able to ask more relaxedly. "Three days are still too short. Your gravitational wave device can’t be ready, right? So, do you have any plans?"
He decided to trust Daphne a bit more. Even though she was intelligent and had made several mistakes, it was clear that she desired to cooperate with him. After all, she could not resist him once he acquired a force she could not defy.
"Yes! Some of the supplies have been damaged, and the personnel of Earth City cannot be as efficient as before. So, the device cannot be completed within three days, not even ten days." Daphne analyzed.
"My suggestion is that we cannot abandon the forces and personnel here in Earth City. Staying here, or even on Grey-Yellow Star, would be dangerous... My previous suggestion, it’s time to implement it now. What do you think?" Daphne asked Jia Yan with eager eyes.
Jia Yan was stunned, but then sighed deeply.
He knew what Daphne’s ’suggestion’ was; it was the goal Daphne had always been striving for.
Since she raised this so-called ’suggestion’ now, it was clear what she wanted to do next. Yet, Jia Yan understood the difficulty and risks of this undertaking, and he couldn’t believe that the usually cautious Daphne would choose such a path.
But at this point, if they didn’t take this measure, they would have no hope of victory against the Auster people’s retaliation in the inescapable Gold Desert...
After weighing all the pros and cons, Jia Yan accepted that there was no other option than to proceed with Daphne’s so-called ’decision’.
"Alright, let’s do as you suggested. Since this ’decision’ is bound to make us act more aggressively, it is necessary to ensure our combat power. I need to rest and recover my energy, so send me some nutrient solution."
After reluctantly agreeing with Daphne’s ’decision’, Jia Yan flew to the inner part of the Yellow Continent for rest. His former residence, the Hall of Debate, was reduced to ashes in the bombing by the security officer aircraft. He needed to find a quiet place to rest. After all, the previous battle had drained a lot of his energy.
After Jia Yan took off, Daphne, with her curvaceous figure, stood and watched his soaring body for a long time...
Then her face turned solemn. Their conversation seemed relaxed, but everyone knew how dangerous a situation they and Earth City were in at that moment!
The attack of the security officers had already exceeded their expectations. What was even more unexpected was that the Auster people would send battleships to assist in the battle. The battleship was eventually destroyed by Big Mosquito with its powerful strength, but it brought Earth City to the attention of all the forces!
What would happen next could only be a storm.
"We have too little time. I had originally thought that our actions could be carried out in a more covert manner, but I didn’t expect that we would have to directly confront the Auster civilization so soon." She sighed, then started to walk towards the temporary meeting place in Earth City, dragging her tired body after the battle.
Jia Yan was able to make excuses to leave, saying he had to restore his energy, but she, Daphne, could not do the same. After all, she had wanted to keep Earth City, whereas Jia Yan had never cared much about it.
Earth City, once a thriving and emerging force, was now in ruins. Fires were constantly burning, and the gray-yellow ancient trees that reached the sky could burn for a long time. Despite the victory over the Allied Army of the Security officers and the Auster people, Earth City was still in a state of desolation.
