Chapter 566: The Empire Goes to Full-Scale War!
Four days later, the entire Imperial Capital, within a ten-thousand-square-kilometer Zone centered around the Imperial Palace, had been transferred to another Dimensional Space by the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock'.
However, due to the presence of the Phantom Image, it looked no different from the outside. But if you walked into the area, you would find that aside from the Ground, there was no longer any substantial Substance here. Regardless of what Building or Wall you encountered, you could pass through them without Obstruction.
At the same time, the eight Light Gates of different colors located in different Directions were surrounded by Small City Walls that had been urgently built. Outside were large numbers of Army holding Automatic Firearms, while inside were the Disciples of Imperial Fist Temple and Imperial Arms Users from the Imperial Guard Unit, strictly prohibiting unauthorized personnel from approaching within three hundred meters.
At this moment, the Sky in the other Dimensional Space was golden yellow. Although there was no Sun, it was illuminated by the ubiquitous faint Golden Light. The only drawback was the absence of Night.
In the Southeast direction of the Imperial Capital that had been transferred in below, there was a sudden expanse of lush green Grass Court, where various Danger Beasts resembling Sheep, Horses, and cattle were freely moving about.
This was because of the several small Spaces within the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock: Ghost Valley Spring and Autumn'.
Since being designated a 'Strategic Class Imperial Arm' by the 'Holy Emperor' six hundred years ago, it had been continuously developed by successive Emperors.
Aside from the 'Death Gate', which was abandoned because it contained nothing but Magma and a Sea of Fire, the Environment of the other seven Gates' Spaces each had their drawbacks, but ways were still found to utilize them.
Among them, the Environment of the 'Life Gate' was the most beautiful. Not only was the Climate warm, but the Soil was extremely fertile, and large areas of Herbaceous Plants grew there, making it extremely suitable for Livestock and planting.
Successive Emperors of The Empire, holding the mindset of preparing for the worst, developed this place as the Imperial Family's final granary.
This way, no matter what happened in the future, even if it was National Destruction. As long as the family members successfully escaped with the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock', they could live very comfortably even if they lived in anonymity.
The only problem was ensuring that the Imperial Arms User of the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock' was an Imperial Family Member or someone loyal to the Imperial Family. This was very difficult. But it wasn't impossible...
Besides this, the other 'Strategic Class Imperial Arms' were actually the same: the 'Dimensional Array: Shangri-La', the 'World Book: Rongo Rongo', and 'Asklepios'.
They were collectively known as the 'Four Great Strategic Imperial Arms'!
Inside the Swearing Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor, Bud, Najenda, Saul, Ezra, Doctor Stylish, and others gathered together again, but the Atmosphere was unusually oppressive and solemn. Everyone was frowning deeply, looking with stern expressions at the five lifelike Screen Feeds on the tabletop.
The Screen Feeds showed the entire process of Bullet combining with the Snow Mountain to become a 'Thousand-Meter Giant', and then directly blocking the 'Five Paths Revolving Furnace'.
"General Bols, can you... deal with this kind of Monster?" Governor Saul couldn't help but raise his head and ask in a deep voice. General Bols took a deep breath, shook his somewhat stiff Neck, and said in a low voice, "I can't do it. Blande, Esdeath, they can't either..."
"This should be the Admiral Level Combat Power mentioned by those Captives. I heard that each of their Three Great Military Branches has three Admirals, plus the Fleet Admiral, that's four. Adding them up..."
Najenda's Expression was very grim, and she couldn't bring herself to say the rest of the words, as that number was simply too Despair-inducing!
"As expected of a terrifying Influence/Power capable of launching Wars of Conquest across Worlds..." Finance Officer Ezra said, shaking his head rather pessimistically. He already had the thought that they were simply no match for the World Government.
"But I think we are not without the Strength to resist. Look at the degree of Destruction caused by the 'Five Paths Revolving Furnace' in your images. If we had fired two in Rapid-fire at that time, we might have been able to directly kill him!"
The Emperor picked up the fifth drawing and shook it, his stern Expression transforming into a gentle Smile.
"But His Majesty, although the 'Five Paths Revolving Furnace' can be mass-produced, with the output from our Academy of Science, we can only manufacture one per year. Including the five... oh no, four in our current Inventory, we can use a maximum of five this year."
Doctor Stylish stroked his chin and said softly.
"Five. If two can eliminate one of their Admirals, then we now have the Ability to kill two of their Admirals. Plus my Imperial Arms, that's three Admirals!"
The Emperor slowly stood up, his Gaze scanning the several important ministers present, and said with a firm Gaze, "I believe this gives us the leverage to negotiate with them. I doubt even the World Government would easily lose three Admirals, right?"
"Indeed." Governor Saul expressed agreement. If they could bring the other side to the negotiation table, their side should have this Strength.
Bud, Najenda, and the others nodded one after another.
But what they didn't know was that the Emperor's final Trump Card in his Heart was not what he said, but the biggest Trump Card the 'Holy Emperor' six hundred years ago had secured for The Empire.
"Moreover, although the number of 'Five Paths Revolving Furnace' is not large, we have many Conventional Missiles, Rockets, and Howitzers. We can completely give them a carpet bombing!"
"We also have so many Three Military Branches' Troops, Imperial Arms Users, Imperial Fist Temple, Danger Beast Unit, the Technology from the Academy of Science, the Fleet, plus the East and West Countries that are about to unite!"
The more the Emperor spoke, the more Confidence his Tone carried, finally saying loudly with an extremely inspiring demeanor.
"Everyone, although that World Government has already conquered multiple Worlds, we can completely make them break their teeth here, in our World, and then scurry back to their own World with their tails tucked, never daring to step foot here again!"
"Yes, His Majesty!" Bud, Najenda, and the others knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison.
The next day.
The Emperor officially issued an Imperial Decree, announcing the information about the World Government to the entire Empire, and simultaneously issued the Order for a full-scale War against the World Government.
Army General Blande in the West and Marine Admiral Esdeath in the East also began to Mobilize Troops and Fleets towards the Northern part of The Empire.
And in the Mountain Ranges on both sides of Magu Highland, Ballistic Missiles equipped with Conventional Shells were being pulled out by the Soldiers of the Missile Force using strong and powerful Danger Beasts.
At the same time.
The Alchemy Kingdom in the West also dispatched a Large Force led by State Alchemists to advance towards the Plato Region in the Northeast, while the Shenhe Island Nation was still hesitating and in discussion.
This World, given the Code Name 'Imperial Arms' by the World Government, finally produced an intense Reaction to the appearance of the World Government.
At the Star Gate.
The five Great Divisions and their ten Brigades, which had just been reorganized into the 'First Main Combat Army Corps', were also transporting the sixty thousand Large Army and fifty thousand Auxiliary Army, like black water, day and night with the magical effect of the 'Shrinking Tunnel'!
"The fourth Otherworld..."
This day.
A man over three meters tall, with a muscular build, wearing a red Suit and a Black Coat, emitting a chilling Aura from his entire body, walked out of the Biochemical Safety Station alone.
"Admiral Akainu!" Bullet stepped forward to greet him expressionlessly. Behind him was a group composed of Vice Admirals, Rear Admirals, and Commodores.
"Hmm, you did quite well." Sakazuki also had a stern Personality, so he only praised him in a calm Tone. Immediately after, while walking forward, he asked Bullet, who was following behind him.
"How is the Giant Villa I asked you to prepare?"
"It's ready!"
