Chapter 515: Change of Heart
"Huh? The Kodis Royal Family is here? This is the fleet of the Kodis Royal Family?"
"No! This... This... These are top-quality battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization?"
"Heavens! There are so many top-quality battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization!"
Soon, other forces also discovered the fleet of the Kodis Royal Family, and some people expressed surprise, especially after some of them recognized the rank of the Kodis Royal Family's fleet, they were all shocked.
Thirty-five top-quality battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization, had they seen it wrong... was this really the fleet of the Kodis Royal Family? Could it be that the emblem of a high-ranking civilization's force was similar to the Kodis Royal Family's emblem?
Only those from the Kodis Empire who brought seventh-level technological civilization battleships had a very heavy mood.
The battleships of the Kodis Royal Family were similar to those they had bought, even identical, how could they not know that this was the fleet of the Kodis Royal Family?
For a while, they had been receiving news that someone in the Kodis Royal Family was selling a large number of battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization, which included battleships of extremely high quality. At first, they didn't quite believe it.
Purchasing battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization was always the prerogative of the Kodis Royal Family.
Not until when someone approached them and displayed the battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization in front of them did they believe it.
They were all excited, and subsequently, they pooled all their resources to buy a batch of battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization.
They began to be confident...
They believed that their strength, even in comparison with the royal family, wouldn't be much less.
The royal family, which always boasted of its cultivators, only had one cultivator in the Mid Term Realm. They thought that as long as they sent a top-quality battleship of a seventh-level technological civilization, they could easily deal with it.
Battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization, it was rumoured, were very few in number in the royal family and, moreover, most of them were not particularly high-grade. The royal family didn't necessarily have a top-quality battleship of a seventh-level technological civilization.
Who knew...
The Kodis Royal Family actually had so many top-quality battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization?
How could they not feel disheartened?
Upon seeing the appearance of these battleships, most of them could guess how the Kodis Royal Family had obtained these battleships.
"Duke Karl, King Yannan, I didn't expect you guys to be here too..."
Seeing the suddenly quiet fleets, within a battleship of the Kodis Royal Family's fleet, Emperor Bo gave a slight smile and greeted first.
The action this time was actually personally led by the Emperor of the Kodis Empire himself.
The existence of the Heavenly-luck Flower was known to the Kodis Royal Family for a long time. Even Black Skeleton could find out about its effect, so the Kodis Royal Family, which frequently communicated with other sixth-level civilizations and the seventh-level Tongtian Dynasty, could naturally find out as well.
Moreover, they found out the exact flowering time of this Heavenly-luck Flower and purposely rushed over at the last moment.
In this way, even if some forces knew that they had no hope of acquiring this Heavenly-luck Flower and even if they spread this information, other forces wouldn't have enough time to arrive even if they rushed over.
Emperor Bo well knew that this was a great fortune.
If they succeeded in obtaining it, it could even let their country's power increase by a noticeable margin.
However, even so, he originally didn't plan to come personally for this matter, but this time, the Kodis Royal Family lost too much. They not only emptied the national treasury but also overdrawn a lot from various aspects.
They urgently needed this Heavenly-luck Flower to replenish their national treasury. There was no room for loss.
These force's fleets, which were originally still restless, suddenly quieted down, not even daring to budge an inch. Clearly, it was because of their arrival. Seeing this scene, Emperor Bo was very satisfied in his heart.
At this moment, he truly felt that the battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization that they had bought were utterly worth it. They had not bought these battleships for naught.
"However, this Duke Karl and King Yannan have also bought a large number of battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization, including a significant number of top-quality battleships of a seventh-level technological civilization. They clearly have malicious intentions..."
Next, Emperor Bo looked at the fleets of Duke Karl and King Yannan, and a trace of chill flashed across his eyes as he spoke in a low voice.
Of course, he didn't let these words get out.
He incessantly contemplated how to coax these two individuals into handing over these tier-seven technocivilization battleships to the royal family. How much confidence did they have in taking out these two fleets? What would the losses be? What was the probability of the other party surrendering?
"Your Majesty!"
"Imperial Brother!"
Hearing Emperor Bo's voice, at the core of the two fleets, Duke Karl and King Yannan were startled. They hadn't expected Emperor Bo to show up in person. Seeing the emperor greet them, they felt uneasy.
It was truly an awkward situation. The emperor greeted them, should they respond or not?
Should they seize the Heavenly-luck Flower, or not?
That was a rare priceless treasure from nature, worth at least tens of trillions of Spirit Crystals, or even more...
They had already asked Master Ming.
If they had sufficient funds in the subsequent period, they would likewise be able to purchase tier-seven technocivilization battleships.
No Spirit Crystals? Other resources, other heavenly materials, and earth treasures would do.

If they obtained this rare gem of nature's treasures.
Supplement it with those economical tier-seven technocivilization battleships, their power would scale rocket-like.
Such a tremendous temptation.
Silence.
In the end, they chose to remain silent.
At this moment, they even regretted displaying their identities on their fleet vessels.
It was solely due to their impulse, thinking they had the upper hand with such a powerful fleet, moreover, believing their current power level was not inferior to that of the royal family, that they behaved thus.
Regret was futile now.
They yearned to acquire the Heavenly-luck Flower, but without their power being significantly enhanced, they were unwilling to antagonize the royal family.
They could only pretend to be deaf and mute.
Once they spoke, they would be out of excuses.
"Now, Emperor Bo shouldn't dare lay a hand on us…"
"We'll rush to seize it at the moment the flower blooms. Then, the battleships won't come in handy, we have to rely on us cultivators. The most powerful cultivator from the royal family is only in the Mid Term Realm. However, the royal family is a prominent target; everyone will be watching them, not necessarily letting them approach. That moment will be our opportunity…"
"We also have top-level battleships of tier-seven technocivilization. Once we seize it, we will leave. Their fleets might be numerous, but their speed is the same as ours and might not necessarily be able to catch up with us…"
Uncertainty was written across the faces of Duke Karl and King Yannan.
"Keeping quiet?"
Seeing that no one responded, Emperor Bo narrowed his eyes, and his expression quickly darkened.
"Duke Karl, King Yannan, how dare they not respond to His Majesty's query? They are so bold! Are they planning a rebellion?" A cultivator at the tenth level next to Emperor Bo scoffed and said.
"Their insignia is on those two fleets. They should be onboard. But, the fact that they privately purchased tier-seven technocivilization battleships indicates they harbor rebellious intentions. This behavior collectively isn't surprising.
In my opinion, Your Majesty, we should annihilate them with a lightning-fast strike to warn any potential rebels, then discuss the ownership of the Heavenly-luck Flower with other powers…" another cultivator at the tenth level nodded and said.
"Wait." After a moment of silence, Emperor Bo finally shook his head.
Being the emperor of the Kodis Empire, he naturally possessed a certain degree of wisdom. He knew that this was not the right time to strike.
Especially since he had specially inquired on his way that Master Ming and his group were not far away.
Duke Karl and King Yannan purchased a large number of battleships of tier-seven technocivilization. These battleships looked similar to those they purchased. Nine times out of ten they were linked to Master Ming's group.
If they were driven to despair and passed the information here to Master Ming and his group, it was not too late for Master Ming and his group to rush here.
