Chapter 587, Supreme Mother

In the Spider Web Universe, Millennium Star Field, on the Iron Armored Corps' flagship, 'Steel Body', Humphrey Paul was talking to the great sage Varuk in the Alfonzo Star Field.

"Alfonzo, is the situation boiling over?"

Varuk's mechanical face was emotionless: "It's basically true. After the fleet led by Dubo was destroyed in the Proud Claw Star Field, the Imperial faction within the sect began to regain the upper hand. They strongly questioned the sect's strategy of participating in the war, attributed the destruction of the fleet to the sect's decision to go to war, and began to question the sect's cooperation with the Iron Armored Corps."

To others, this might be exerting pressure.

But Paul didn't think so.

His expression did not change, and he didn't even doubt Varuk's position at all.

He just sighed and said: "I have never underestimated the Alliance. Back then, when Erso was still alive, I advised him not to act rashly and that the Alliance needed to be taken seriously. He did not listen to me completely, so he lost his life in the south."

"I also tried to win them over. Even if they were unwilling to stand on our side, I hoped to persuade them not to stand on the opposite side. But unfortunately, they also failed to listen to my enticement. I had too few chips to pay."

"I was mentally prepared and had to go to war with the Alliance. So, I let Paulitus lead all the Furies and added a New World Torch to let them defend the Alliance's attack in the south."

"But their performance was still It exceeded my imagination. A few years ago, they were just very promising. But after just a few years, they not only fulfilled this potential, but also became stronger than we imagined. "

"Paulitus is a very capable person, but he failed to do what I expected. It's not his fault. Even though I asked for your help, Sage Dubo personally led the team and encountered a greater failure. I really didn't expect that your participation in the war was one of the trump cards I prepared. Alfonzo's fleet was originally a force that could change the entire war. "

"The alliance not only forced this force out, forcing me to let you leave early, but even destroyed your fleet in the south..."

"I am very angry, There was even some fear. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, should the original strategy be to attack the south? That might not be able to shock the empire, but it could eliminate a major enemy before their strength was as strong as it is now, and it wouldn't be so difficult now. "

The great sage Varuk, who had been listening silently, spoke calmly: "That's unrealistic. If you did that, the current situation might be worse."

Humphrey Paul was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Indeed, as you said, the result is likely to be worse. I couldn't abandon the core area that was not completely settled at the time and go straight to the south; and when I had time to decide the main direction of attack, if I chose the south On the other side, the alliance may be destroyed by me and will never realize their war potential, but they may also hold me back in the ruins. At that time, the princess may still be able to resist on the north side, but on the west side... we will be killed by the phoenix. "

Varuk said: "Yes, we have talked about this topic in the past, and there is no need to talk about it again. It is meaningless to lament how powerful the alliance is. We need to think of ways to confront and solve them, and at least stabilize the southern front. "

"As you said, I think I need to talk to the princess again."

Varuk reminded: "Communicating with the princess may not be enough, you may need to have this conversation with the queen. "

This time, it was Paul who hesitated.

"If that happens... things may be irreversible. We may not be ready yet..."

"You need to make up your mind, Paul." Varuk's voice was still emotionless, "There is no such thing as preparation or not, and this matter should not be decided by you. Pray to the Queen, let Him make the decision, and we just need to obey."

Humphrey Paul waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it... Let me think about it again."

As he spoke, his eyes began to turn purple, and a patch of purple blood vessels suddenly appeared on his skin, and then disappeared, leaving only the fangs exposed when his mouth opened and closed.

Varuk gave the final warning: "Hurry, as soon as possible. You are preparing, our enemies are also preparing, and the Queen's patience is limited. What's more, the imperial faction within Alfonzo has been boiling after Dubo's failure. I will do my best to control the situation, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the Alfonzo star field in the future."

"I know."

After cutting off the call, Humphrey Paul stood there and thought for a long time.

He finally seemed to have made a decision.

He blocked everyone, and he was the only one in the battleship's throne room. He took out something that was hard to describe. It looked like a piece of meat, the size of a palm, but it was always squirming, as if you could see the purple blood flowing inside.

He swallowed it in one gulp, and after a moment, a purple light burst out from his eyes.

In an instant, he seemed to have communicated with a supreme will.

There was a voice that was so majestic that it made people kneel down, and so gentle that it soothed people's hearts like a mother.

At this moment, Humphrey Paul wiped out all struggles and resistance, and communicated with this will in the most respectful, humble and fanatical manner, in the mode of high-energy information.

They may have communicated a lot of content, but in fact the whole process only took a moment.

When Humphrey Paul opened his eyes again, he seemed to have been drained of most of his strength. His body couldn't help but step back several steps, but he couldn't hold on and knelt down.

Gasping for air, Paul felt dizzy and had a strong nausea.

He forced these discomforts down.

Opening his eyes again and standing up again, he returned to being the leader of the Iron Armored War Corps and the ambitious and tyrant who set off a great rebellion that affected the entire eastern border of the empire.

Sitting back on his throne, Paul passed out one order after another in an orderly manner.

Soon, his army set out.

Some eagerness even made many people below feel uneasy, not knowing what was going on.

But Paul knew it himself.

The Supreme Mother mercifully granted his request and gave him one last chance.

He needed to seize it.
