Chapter 430: The Standoff Across the Star Gate!
On the Sea Star Mainland, on the Moon, within the top level of Noah's Ark, Im naturally saw everything. Although the formation displayed by the opposing World was indeed grand and magnificent, what concerned him more was that he still couldn't figure out what kind of World it was.
First, it seemed to be an era during or after the 'Second World War'. Although he wasn't a seasoned military enthusiast in his Previous Life, he could tell that those Heavy Howitzers and Battleships were definitely not products of the 'First World War'.
Of course, asking him to name specific models was impossible; he just found them familiar.
So, since their Technology level was suspected to be at the 'Second World War' level, they probably had Nuclear Bombs and the like, right?
Right!
Here's the Matter: what kind of World, based on these foundations, also possessed a very strong Future Sight Ability?
Im pondered for a long time but remained completely bewildered.
If it were just the former, there would be nothing to say; they would just start fighting. After all, it was only the 'Second World War' level, and there was nothing to worry about except Nuclear Bombs.
But with the addition of the Future Sight Ability, the Situation was different. Did the other side have other Superpowers?
Especially the Attack Method that ultimately killed Pulan and Bellock, it was definitely not a Howitzer!
One must know that those two possessed Observation Haki. Even they didn't react in time, or rather, they reacted but were still precisely killed. That required deep thought.
Indeed, mystery and the unknown were the biggest Matters!
At this moment, the Chairmen of the Otherworld Strategy Committee were holding an emergency meeting.
Marshal Raymond of the Army Headquarters, Sakazuki, Byrnndi World, and Officers above the rank of Vice Admiral, such as Bullet, Crocodile, and Shiryu, who had specifically rushed over from the Kabaneri World and Demon Slayer World, were also in a meeting.
In the Holy Land Mariejois, within the Room of Authority, the Five Elders were repeatedly watching every piece of Video Footage obtained at the cost of lives, especially the continuous battle formations and Barracks stretching for who knows how many miles at the end.
"The Military Strength definitely exceeds ten million, and judging by their Cannons and Warships, they are clearly stronger than the Demon Slayer World!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said with a frown.
"I never expected such a Situation to arise. This is definitely not something they prepared recently; it must have taken at least two or three years of preparation, right?"
Saint Topman Warcury sighed.
A ten million-level army, how much Manpower and Material Resources would that require? And those Trenches, Fortresses, and Railways must have also taken a considerable amount of Time to build, right?
Unless the other side also had High-Level Builders with Superpowers similar to Pica or Teach...
"This must be the combined Strength of their entire World. Their Future Sight Ability can really see far!" Saint Marcus Mars stood beside them, clicking his tongue in wonder.
One must know that the Ubuyashiki Family could only see the Future within a year, and it seemed to require certain specific individuals as a Medium. But the other side clearly didn't need these things.
Unless someone from the other side had infiltrated the Sea Star Mainland?
Thinking of this possibility, the Smile on Saint Marcus Mars's face gradually disappeared, his Gaze turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "We might have truly met our Opponent this time."
As soon as he said this, the other four fell silent. After a moment, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn spoke again. After all, Matters like War were his responsibility.
"There are three main Matters before us now."
"First, we don't Understand the other side's Background, especially the origin of their Future Sight, and whether they have other Unconventional Means."
"Second, should we still send people in?"
"Third, the Star Gate is too small."
After speaking, even the usually strong-willed Saint Jaygarcia Saturn couldn't help but sigh.
Understanding his Feeling, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter nodded and continued in a deep voice.
"The first point and the second point are actually one Matter: whether or not to dispatch higher-Rank Combat Power, such as Vice Admirals, or even Admirals. But no one knows if the other side can still kill them. If they can, the loss would be too great!"
"Then there's the third point. The Star Gate is only two meters wide and three meters high. Troops can only enter in a 'trickle' manner. But the other side already has tens of thousands of Heavy Howitzers and thousands of Large Caliber Naval Guns aimed at it. Basically, anyone from the lower-middle ranks who goes in will die!"
At this point, after he finished speaking, Saint Marcus Mars added a sentence, expressing his previous concern.
"There's another point we must be careful about: Is it possible for the other side to actively send people in?"
"That should be impossible. The Star Gate Size is not just restrictive for us. If the other side wants to come in, they also have to squeeze in little by little. Our Cannon Fire here is not to be trifled with either!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn shook his head decisively, denying his idea.
Immediately, the Atmosphere in the Room of Authority fell into Dead Silence. No one spoke again, because they were all deep in thought and hesitation. The Situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.
Im also thought of these things, so he was considering one Matter.
That was whether to upgrade this Number Three Star Gate to a Medium Star Gate. He happened to have an Authority for this now, and doing so would basically solve the Matter of the Star Gate being too small and the Efficiency of the large army passing through being too low.
One must know that a Medium Star Gate is three hundred meters high and two hundred meters wide. This large Size and space would be enough for the Giant Unit to push through!
"But if the Star Gate becomes larger, the other side can easily come in. If things go badly, it could become a Situation that's too big to handle, unless we close it directly..."
Finally, Im felt that pondering by himself was useless, so he directly transmitted the Data/Files that a Star Gate could be enlarged to the Five Elders. Let them worry about such overly troublesome Matters.
A few minutes later, the Five Elders' Expressions were all filled with shock. They hadn't expected that the Star Gate could become even larger!
"Three hundred meters high, two hundred meters wide, that's completely enough!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn stood Up excitedly, gripping Shodai Kitetsu, then looked towards the Direction of the Moon with worship, sighing, "As expected of Lord Imu! Such a Miracle, besides a True God, who else could achieve it?"
However, after they calmed down and studied it carefully, they also realized the Matter Im had thought of.
If the Star Gate became larger, it would also be convenient for the other side!
"We still need to figure out the Upper Limit of the other side's Attack Method, that is, whether they have the Ability to harm Admiral Level Combat Power..." Saint Topman Warcury sighed.
"Indeed, with the bombardment of tens of thousands of Heavy Howitzers and thousands of Large Caliber Naval Guns, Vice Admiral level Combat Power definitely can't withstand it. Sending them over would only consume a few more boxes of Cannonballs for the other side."
"But if we dispatch Admiral Level Combat Power, the Matter is, who should we send to take this risk, which has a probability of death of over fifty percent?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, as a top BOSS of Cipher Pol, placed more Importance on Intelligence. He pointed out the most difficult point.
"If this Admiral is to probe the other side's Upper Limit, they must first withstand the bombardment of tens of thousands of Cannons, fight their way into the other side's Faction, and engage in Slaughter to see if the other side has some Means that can injure or even kill them!"
"If they don't, then so be it, our Admiral Level Combat Power can all be dispatched. But if they do... then he probably won't be coming back!"
