Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Haven’t Taken Off in 20 Years…

Lan Bo quickly stepped forward, showing a respectful smile as he saluted Huang Daoqi and Huang Yuanlang. This is the disparity of class. Even Lan Bo, a True God-level powerhouse, held no real status here. The imperial father and son were accustomed to this.

Huang Daoqi said: “Lan Bo! During the upcoming period, your most important task is to protect Lord Lan and Xiuxiu. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences.”

Lan Bo hurriedly assured him with trepidation: “Certainly, certainly. Even if we have to exhaust the lives of our entire clan, we must ensure Lord Lan’s safety.”

Lan Xuanyu felt a bit uncomfortable inside. You must know that within the Douluo Federation, True God-level powerhouses were essentially at the pinnacle. Although this True God of the Blue Sea Tribe wasn’t particularly strong, it was still of True God level! Here, however, it appeared subservient.

Is the greatest issue hampering the development of the Sky Dragon Planet or even the Dragon Horse Federation really technological and research direction? It’s probably more than that; at the root, the main cause is still the issue of class.

The clear division of classes leaves relatively weaker races no chance of emerging. Even if they manage to possess a certain degree of strength, it’s hard for them to fully show their potential. And within the Dragon Clan, are there fewer parasites?

However, these are not matters he needs to concern himself with now, as he’s not the ruler of the Dragon Horse Federation.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and Lan Xuanyu said: “Then let’s go over to the Blue Sea Tribe’s side and check out the specific situation.”

“Certainly, Lord Lan,” Lan Bo promptly replied.

Everyone stepped out and boarded Huang Daoqi’s Dragon Car. As the City Lord’s Dragon Car, it was naturally easy to accommodate a few of them. Pulled directly by lower-rank Dragon Clan members, it rose into the air and headed straight for the suburbs.

Regarding the military base, Lan Xuanyu had been here for quite some time but hadn’t personally visited yet. His divine consciousness spread out, sensing everything external.

Indeed, the Sky Dragon Planet was extraordinarily beautiful, with vast expanses of vegetation cover that filled the entire planet with vibrant life. From above, overlooking with divine consciousness, everything felt exceptionally clear. The dense essence of life rose from the ground like steam, shrouding the planet’s surface.

The Dragon Car flew for approximately an hour before starting to lower its altitude. Lan Xuanyu’s divine consciousness also detected the existence of a military base within the forest.

The Dragon Car smoothly landed on the ground, with a large presence of life forces outside.

Once the Dragon Car was stable, Lan Xuanyu requested Huang Daoqi to disembark first, then he followed suit. After all, he was counting on Huang Daoqi’s support in resource matters, and this courtesy had to be given.

Everyone disembarked in single file. Outside, squads of Blue Sea Clan soldiers were lined up neatly, each one standing tall and proud. With their blue skin and light blue uniforms, they appeared rather sharp.

At a glance, this Blue Sea Tribe Honour Guard was quite impressive; each individual was over two meters tall, spirited and robust, each exuding a considerable aura. The Honour Guard squad was approximately a thousand strong, with a formidable presence.

Using the energy intensity of a human Soul Master as a measure, the Blue Sea Tribe Honour Guard had an average standard above the level of Six-ring Soul Emperor.

One must admit, the Dragon Horse Federation’s individual combat effectiveness is indeed far superior to that of the Douluo Federation. Despite the Blue Sea Tribe being a relatively weak race, they have gathered so many strong individuals.

The dozen or so Blue Sea Tribe generals at the front displayed strong auras, with four of them reaching God Rank. However, none matched Lan Bo’s True God standard.

In unison, the generals stood to attention and saluted Lan Xuanyu and the others.

Lan Bo had already stepped ahead to the side of the generals, turning to Lan Xuanyu and Huang Daoqi, “Blue Sea Marshal Lan Bo, leading the subordinate generals, greets Lord Lan, greets City Lord. Please instruct.”

Huang Daoqi gestured for Lan Xuanyu to proceed. This time, Lan Xuanyu did not stand on ceremony; for the foreseeable future, he was the commander of this army.

Lan Xuanyu stepped forward a few steps, “Greetings, I am Lan. You should be aware that during my youth, I originated from our Blue Sea Tribe. So, in this situation where war may break out at any moment, I volunteered to the Sky Dragon Assembly to lead our Blue Sea Tribe’s army. I have only one request, which is strict compliance with orders. Whether on the battlefield or during drills, I need each one of you to completely adhere to my commands. Disobeying orders is tantamount to violating military discipline.”

“Yes, we strictly comply with Lord Lan’s orders,” Lan Bo shouted, and the generals beside him instantly responded in unison.

“Good, take us to see the warship,” Lan Xuanyu said.

Lan Bo hesitated slightly, then quickly stepped forward to Lan Xuanyu’s side and asked softly, “Lord Lan, are we really going to inspect the warship?”

“Hmm? What’s the matter?” Lan Xuanyu looked at him in confusion.

Lan Bo seemed a bit awkward as he said, “Lord Lan, the Blue Sea Tribe has always been weak and overlooked. The allocation of warships was something that happened fifty years ago, and in the past twenty years, our warships have not been approved for flight. So…”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. Although he had anticipated that the Blue Sea Tribe’s fleet wouldn’t be strong, he did sense this implication from Huang Daoqi’s previous words. But he didn’t expect it to be this poor. Not launching for twenty years? Can the warships still function?

“Have our warships been maintained all this while?” Lan Xuanyu frowned and asked.

“Certainly. We, the Blue Sea Tribe, are known for our diligence. Although we are not strong and not valued, you can rest assured when it comes to hard work. And I can guarantee that your previous instructions regarding strict compliance will definitely be followed. Your orders are our ultimate directive.”

“Good, take me to see them then.” Lan Xuanyu’s expression relaxed slightly. For an army, the most crucial thing is military discipline, even more important than the warships themselves. If there’re issues with the warships, that’s something that can potentially be remedied with resources. But if an army’s discipline is lax, that’s a major problem. He doesn’t have enough time to whip an army into shape. Frankly speaking, he isn’t skilled at training troops either!

“Yes!” Lan Bo responded, and with a wave of his hand, a line of vehicles had already pulled in.

Lan Xuanyu, accompanied by Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Bo, boarded the first vehicle; Huang Daoqi and his son climbed into the second. They were originally here as companions.

Boarding the vehicle, Lan Bo ordered the convoy to move out. The entire Honour Guard stood at attention, watching them proceed deep into the base.

The Blue Sea Tribe’s base is quite expansive, and as the vehicle drove, Lan Bo introduced the area to Lan Xuanyu: “Lord Lan, our Blue Sea Tribe’s military base in Fenglong City is our only one. The most outstanding young members of the Blue Sea Tribe are sent here for military service. This base spans one hundred square kilometers. Currently, there are two million Blue Sea Tribe warriors stationed here, engaged in various drills. I believe one million of them are battle-ready. Although they cannot compare to stronger races, I can assure you that on the battlefield, they will spare no effort in executing orders.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly as he listened. The Blue Sea Tribe had a population of around ten billion, yet the military consisted of only two million; this percentage is actually not much. Considering the prosperity of the Dragon Horse Federation, this already represents a typical weaker species.

“And the fleet? What’s the number of warships? Why haven’t there been any flight drills in the past twenty years?” Lan Xuanyu inquired.

Lan Bo’s lips curled into a bitter smile, “The dignitaries say that our Blue Sea Tribe is better suited to service, not warfare. On the battlefield, we are mere cannon fodder. They claim it’s out of pity for us. The existing warships were hard-won by the King of the Blue Sea after petitioning the Sky Dragon Assembly fifty years ago. Currently, there are twelve warships in total. You’ll know their condition after you see them.”
