Chapter 476: The World Government's Strategic Depth!
"What?!"
"Lord Imu got married!!!"
In the Room of Authority at the Holy Land Marie Geoise on the Sea Star Mainland, the Five Elders completely disregarded their status, staring at each other with wide, disbelieving eyes and mouths agape.
"And the object is a queen from another world..."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn murmured in disbelief. The others also looked like they couldn't calm down for a while.
It was simply too shocking.
Over the past thousand years, countless generations of Five Elders had come and gone, but none of them had ever encountered a situation where Lord Imu took a consort. Over time, they had subconsciously come to believe that Lord Imu was 'without desire'.
"What kind of magic does this Eldian Queen Historia possess to make the great Lord Imu's mortal heart stir?"
Saint Nasujuro tightly gripped the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand, feeling as if he hadn't woken up and was still dreaming. He had always regarded Im as a pure Swordsman who wouldn't be swayed by women.
So, what now?
They could only adapt.
"It seems we'll have to treat those Eldians better from now on. But why didn't Lord Imu directly order the exemption of their judgment and punishment?"
Saint Marcus Mars stood with his long legs straight, hands in his Pocket, asking in confusion.
"Hmph, that shows Lord Imu wasn't truly captivated by that Woman. The handling of the Eldians is Lord Imu's Will, how could it change overnight?"
Saint Nasujuro lifted his chin, answering him somewhat proudly, while thinking to himself, "Lord Imu is indeed still Lord Imu. Perhaps this time was just a stir after prolonged stillness."
He could only comfort himself this way.
Just then, Saint Topman Warcury, sitting beside Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, looked at the Document in his hand and spoke in his steady, hoarse voice.
"Speaking of which, Stussy's Report states that with Lord Imu's help, Queen Historia has obtained the Strength of all 'Titan Shifters', meaning she has become an 'Ultimate Giant' like Eren Yeager."
"So, can she also control 'The Rumbling'?"
This Report was not an arbitrary action by Stussy, but a necessary notification process. Otherwise, how would the World Government arrange various Treatment?
Saint Topman Warcury's words invigorated the other four. They had deeply experienced the Value of 'The Rumbling'.
"Certainly. So, from now on, we can also use an endless Giant Army to trample hostile Civilizations!"
Saint Nasujuro laughed excitedly.
Immediately after, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter frowned and said, "Then won't the Army's large force become useless?"
Indeed, 'The Rumbling's nearly infinite 'Wall Titans' could be considered the most perfect ground assault Troops. There was no need for Living People to fight; they could just wait to take over the trampled Territory.
"Hehehe, you're overthinking it."
Saint Topman Warcury shook his head, scanning them helplessly, and said, "Do you still remember how tall and wide the 'Wall Titans' are, and how tall and wide a Small Stargate is?"
"Uh----"
The Smile froze on Saint Nasujuro's face. Only then did he remember the Limitations of Small Stargates. Using Medium Star Gates so much these past few days had made him get used to them.
Saint Topman Warcury continued.
"Lord Imu said before that upgrading a Small Stargate to a Medium Star Gate requires several years of preparation from him. So, at least the next Otherworld's Stargate will definitely be a Small Stargate. 'The Rumbling' simply cannot enter!"
"So, we have 'The Rumbling' but can't use it?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's Expression turned unpleasant.
This Feeling of having something good but being unable to use it was truly difficult to bear.
"Not necessarily."
Suddenly, a Radiance of reason and Wisdom shone in Saint Nasujuro's Eyes. As the Supreme Leader of the World Government Military, his Ability was certainly not to be underestimated when he started thinking seriously.
"Before, when 'The Rumbling' advanced towards our Homeland, This Old Man thought about how to minimize the occurrence of such a Situation in future Wars."
"At that time, This Old Man thought of pleading with Lord Imu to move our Stargate location to a large, uninhabited Island. This way, even if a similar Situation arose in the future, the Great Sea surrounding the Island would still trap the opponent's large force."
Because Saint Nasujuro suddenly became serious, the other four also subconsciously treated the topic with solemnity.
"Indeed, the current Star Gate Bases are all located on the Red Line. Once Otherworld Troops break in, both Mary Geoise and the World Government Headquarters will be directly threatened!"
Saint Topman Warcury deeply agreed with Saint Nasujuro's statement.
Previously, because they continuously encountered weak worlds like the Kabaneri World and the Demon Slayer World, which lacked the Ability to push the front line to their Homeland, they overlooked this Hidden Danger.
But future Otherworlds would definitely have Civilizations Stronger than the Titan World, so they had to Plan ahead.
"Then what do you mean?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's Gaze focused on Saint Nasujuro. Saint Nasujuro looked pensive as he gazed at the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand.
"This Old Man is thinking, can we open future Stargates directly inside the 'Titan' World? This way, even if the enemy Troops break in, the Battlefield won't be on our Sea Star Mainland."
"If we encounter an Opponent we temporarily cannot Resist, we will have enough strategic depth. If necessary, we will also have ample Time to ask Lord Imu to close the Medium Star Gate connecting to the 'Titan' World."
Upon hearing this, Saint Topman Warcury, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Saint Marcus Mars, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and the others all felt a sudden realization. The more they pondered it in their Mind, the more they felt this Method was brilliant!
"Excellent Method! We can directly transform the 'Titan' World into a Frontline Base Camp, and from now on, the Three Forces Troops can directly enter Otherworld Stargates from the 'Titan' World!"
"Moreover, the Stargate in the 'Titan' World is a Medium one, which is very beneficial for transporting Military Sources and various Resources from the Sea Star Mainland!"
Saint Nasujuro nodded and continued.
"The key is, if a Situation truly arises in the future where the opponent's Troops break into the 'Titan' World, Queen Historia can completely summon 'The Rumbling' on the spot as the final Defense Line!"
Since he couldn't temporarily use 'The Rumbling' as an Attack Method, he directly converted it into their own Defense Means, thus utilizing 'The Rumbling'.
Indeed.
The other four were all amazed by his genius idea, casting admiring Gazes towards him.
Seeing this.
Saint Nasujuro also admired his own thoughts. This brought him more confidence and more Inspiration. He took a deep breath, and after a few breaths, said excitedly.
"Furthermore, on this basis, we can continue to further develop this Plan. For example, placing the Medium Star Gate of the 'Titan' World inside the 'Demon Slayer World'."
"This way, after the opponent's large force enters the 'Titan' World, we can ask Lord Imu to close the Stargate connecting to their world!"
"Then their retreat will be cut off, and they will be completely trapped in the 'Titan' World, and there will still be a world's worth of strategic depth between them and our Sea Star Mainland!"
"Or, open the Stargates of other conquered worlds in the 'Titan' World as well, forming a Situation where Troops from multiple worlds surround and attack!"
"What?!"
"Lord Imu got married!!!"
In the Room of Authority at the Holy Land Marie Geoise on the Sea Star Mainland, the Five Elders completely disregarded their status, staring at each other with wide, disbelieving eyes and mouths agape.
