Legacy of the Void Fleet-Chapter 320: Ch

But focusing on the matter at hand: the reason is that the Elder Council did not want word to fall into the hands of enemies who might take advantage of our vulnerability!! To prevent chaos within our borders, the information was only shared with a few people!!

That is not to say that the Elder Council was doubtful of your loyalty!! But it is simply that the more people who know a thing, the harder it is to hide!!"

"And not wanting this information to leak to our ’friendly neighbors,’ it was decided by the Supreme Elders that it would not be mentioned for the time being!! After all, it was imperative for us to hide anything related to the Holy Regions!!" Jarkon said, looking into the eyes of Mimosa, Zyth, Agronas, and the others. Seeing his gaze, they nodded thoughtfully.

They considered this a strategic move; after all, it was obvious something phenomenal was happening in this corner of the galaxy. It was more than clear that both the Azura Imperial and Genome Empires would be more than curious to investigate what was happening on this side of their border.

After all, the sudden appearance of intense mana storms where a known ’Forbidden Zone’ of the galaxy stood was peculiar!! Knowing the defeat the Minotaurs had suffered might give something away—not to mention the trouble it might attract. They were actively looking to gain the support of the Star Race and others; if things went south, it would have been deeply troublesome!! It was fortunate that nothing like that had happened, and they were even in an alliance with the Genome Empire—though a rather bleak alliance, it was still something!!

"So what changed now, Vice Admiral? Why are you actively telling us about this now??" a Minotaur spoke up with a confused expression. "I mean, what the hell? You just said more people knowing would be dangerous, so why tell us now? Isn’t that the opposite of what you just told us, huh??"

The others were exasperated seeing this fellow officer say something so stupid!! They all couldn’t help but want to slap their own foreheads!! Who is this fool? And how did he become a Captain-rank officer with that walnut-like brain? Can’t he understand the situation??

Even Jarkon was caught off guard!! He tilted his head as he looked at the Captain. The others were throwing the man looks that made him feel embarrassed—so much so that he asked, "Umm, what’s up with the looks you’re all giving me? Isn’t that an obvious thing to ask?? You’re looking at me like I’m some stupid person when I’m not??"

Hearing this, Mimosa, Zyth, and even Jarkon slapped their foreheads!! They cursed internally—what kind of joke is this!!The Captain just stood there with literal question marks appearing over his face.

Before the confused Minotaur could speak again, Jarkon cut him off. "Captain, start thinking!! The situation is special now. We are almost out of those ’dangers’ because we have the support of five Tier One powers!! Though the whole galaxy has doubts and suspicions about this place, and their attention is fixed here, we have nothing to worry about! For now, the pressure is on our ’allies’!!"

"Anyway, that isn’t what we should be concerned about most!! What we should be concerned about is how to deal with them!! Or rather, let me reframe it: how are we supposed to make those Void Humans back off??"

"Our current methods have no effect on them!! Nor would our hidden cards make any difference—believe me, I have tried!! Even borrowing the strength of my ancestors back in the Rigid Star System, I wasn’t able to defend against the Void Humans’ Super Cannon might!! and I believe this time will be no different!! The only difference is that with the support of you, Grand Admiral, and Commander Zyth, we might be able to stay standing after using every ounce of our power—instead of being laid to waste like I was!!"

"But that’s all it would be!! Our fleet would still be wiped out just like mine was... unless something changes, or someone intervenes!!" Jarkon said with all the seriousness he could muster!!

Seeing the serious face of Jarkon and how he portrayed the might of the Void Humans—though it was still unbelievable to them—they had to accept reality, no matter what!! Even if humans were fortunate enough to reach such a lucky opportunity, the fact of the matter was that power was in their hands this time, and the Minotaurs were the weaker party against them!!

But while Mimosa and the other high-ranking officers accepted this... not everyone was without questions of their own!! One among those who were still not convinced about this whole situation spoke up.

"How could that be, Vice Admiral!! I mean, yes, we could accept the fact that we are being decimated as we speak by those so-called ’Void Humans’ at this moment!! But isn’t it an exaggeration to say our hidden cards are useless? Like the Destroyer Series weapons system, which has received upgrades taking it to a level that almost borders Tier One capital-grade destructive capacity!!"

"And let’s not forget the enhancement it would go through under the supply of three World Building Realm masters!! So, how could we still be defeated with that much power? Not to mention the defensive strength we now possess along with those five mighty factions and their fleets standing in support, covering for us!!"

"How could we then be defeated by an enemy that is half our size??? This is a rather unbelievable thing you speak of!! Just because of your defeat doesn’t mean it will repeat here as well!! After all, we are not alone!! We have five giants behind us who would definitely not want us to suffer!! All we need to do is ask, and they will support us in getting rid of this enemy that has made you so dread-filled and delusional!!"

The Minotaur high-ranking official said this, not at all bothered that his tone was disrespectful, to say the least!! Not to mention his subtext, which screamed: Just because you got your ass handed to you, doesn’t mean ours will be handed to us in this place!!

To Jarkon’s ears, it was like someone was playing terrible music over and over again. He couldn’t help but feel anger building up inside him. To him, it felt as though he was being called a weakling—as if his own inability to lead was the sole reason for the destruction of his fleet!! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

That was totally wrong and completely unacceptable to him, no matter what!!
