Even Avalon barely has any information about the alien race that were together with the Empire aside from the information they have that was given by the Fyoran Race.
After all, the Galactic Federation didn't really wage war against the other race... When the Fyorans moved to the territory of the Federation, the Khrusams no longer attacked and decided to just ally with the Empire to have an opportunity once they got into a huge war...
At the very least, the Khrusam Race still knows that it needed to respect the power of the Federation.
The extremely advanced technology of humans was something that they could not easily imitate... Aside from that, the adaptability and resourcefulness of the humans was also something to be noted since many of the alien races' technology that went into their hands became even more powerful once they decided to use them to their advantage.
"Avalon... Why are they enemies with the Fyorans anyway?" Wallace asked as he went further inside the Floating Island.
[ The Khrusam Race were previously slaves of the Fyorans before they were awakened into a mighty species. ]
"Oh... So they aren't this powerful before?" It was quite shocking…
Since he wasn't good at other race's history and focused on learning about Mech Frames and other stuff, he was quite baffled hearing that these powerful beings were slaves before.
[ Based on the records, that is right. They were slaves for more than 400 years on their own planet before one of the Khrusams discovered the hidden potential of their bodies that lead to a massive rebellion and hunting of the Fyoran Race. ]
"Four hundred years, huh… They must be really angry then." Wallace couldn't imagine the long 400 years since he wasn't that old yet.
Nevertheless, he could guess how they are treated during those times to have such a deep grudge against their whole race...
"When you said awakened, you mean their third eyes, right?" He clarified.
[ Yes... Their third eye made them see the so-called death energy that would allow them to manipulate it to do their biddings... Their Corpse Furnace amplifies this power to a large degree and it could equal the GH Drive based on the reports. ] Avalon dutifully answered his inquiries.
Wallace nodded at this. It was enough to know something about the Khrusam Race. At this point, the information that they can only use was about their third eye and physique.
He learned that they are also immune to any kind of hypnosis or perhaps spells that has similar effects…
"I understand... Anyway, send someone to these Terror Magicians, we have to make sure that they are all in good condition before we continue the war."
[ Affirmative. ]
After making an arrangement with Avalon, Wallace opened his Dimensional Storage Space... It contains many things like an inanimate bird, his Lotus Mech, a mini-Positron Impulse Cannon, a couple of the latest version of Elysiums, and many other miscellaneous things.
After a few moments, Wallace pulled out one of his suitcases...
It contains one of his Bio Armors equipped with special knives made of a meteorite or alloy that he's not aware of... He doesn't really care about its name as long as it's sharp and could slice many things.
The reason he pulled this out is simple, it wouldn't just protect his physical body but also various alien technology.
It must be remembered that this is the latest technology of the Galactic Federation before he was sent here.
He had also let Aeolia look at it to see if there's anything he can do about it. Apparently, the old man simply soaked it in a pool similar to Mana Rejuvenation Spring but this time, it was the Northern Continent's version.
"How much time do we have left, Avalon?" Wallace asked after readying the suitcase.
[ …Fifty-two minutes and forty seconds before we reach their sight. ]
"Mhmm…"
Wallace doubts that the enemy can monitor their floating islands with their Cloaking Magic Array activated…
Unless they've seen it on the horizon, they should not be capable of finding them.
"That's plenty of time. Connect me to the Kazan's Council of War or perhaps the Seiji's. Whichever you can contact…"
The young man said as he would be conducting a large-scale operation… There are three floating islands coming their way and he must inform the authorities as they might think that he's part of the aliens as well…
It would be too much work if they decided to open fire at him as well.
***
As per Wallace's knowledge, Seiji is a democratic country so he's expecting that he'll be able to reach agreements with them as long as he could sway the majority of their council.
However, as soon as he tried contacting them, he was actually denied access to their country!
The old representative of the State of Kazan even shouted at him as soon as he stated his reason.
"Hmph! They decided to land in our territory… Now, you wanted to take them away from us?!"
"Huh?"
Wallace was a bit dumbfounded at his words. He's willing to help them fight the Meredith Empire… However, they are refusing?
He looked at the long table showing on the screen. There are about 12 council members right now and all of them are nodding their heads at the old man's words.
The young man was speechless as he looked at the man seated at the end of the table. His robe indicates that he's from the Seiji… It means that this guy must have the last say on this matter. After all, Kazan is just part of their weaker allies…
The old man seems to have noticed his gaze as he similar stared at him…
"You really want me to stay away? Are you capable of fighting the Empire's soldiers? I believe that I gave you their information already…"
Wallace tried to convince them once more… He actually wanted to cooperate with them since he can't bring an army with him here…
He's planning to borrow their magicians so once he used his Floating Islands as his bombardment, their magicians would somehow clean up the remaining soldiers of the Empire for him…
But at this rate, it seems that Wallace is not welcome to do anything for them.
"The information was given by Veda… But anyway, we are thankful for your service, especially for what you've done above... However, this is our land, our planet… They may be strong in outer space but we will take care of them here on our land. Though there might be a lot of blood to be spilled, this is part of our duty…"
The old man from Seiji replied. It was followed by cheers of the other men surrounding him…
"This…"
Wallace was already thinking of just ignoring their request and continue with his plans to attack the spaceships of the Empire…
However, he suddenly heard one of them saying something in a low voice…
"Hmph… Those spaceships will be ours… You will no longer dominate the skies and moon once we get our hands on them…"
Wallace squinted his eyes after hearing this…
It is now clear to him… This is not because they are patriotic and wanted to take things into their hands, they are seeing the profit that these spaceships or aliens can give them once they managed to defeat them using their own forces…
It is their greed that would bring the downfall of their countries.
Well, it's true that Wallace would have the rights to take some of the spaceship's parts and technology if they secured it after the battle… However, he wasn't interested in that!
What he wanted is for the Empire to be completely eradicated once they entered the planet!
Taking their spaceships for himself or something like that wasn't in his thoughts at all!
'Haa~ I've underestimated them.'
The young man can only sigh after hearing this…
He ended his conversation with them as he felt that it wouldn't give him any good results anyway…
Instead, he asked Avalon for his opinion.
"What do you think we should do now… Avalon? Should I still stick my nose in this?"
[ You don't have to hurry. Let's wait for them to realize the power of the Empire. It appears that they aren't taking them seriously even after what they've seen. ]
"Does it mean that they have another trump card or something?"
[ Most likely. Seiji is a nation that even the Four Allied Countries didn't dare to provoke… If Veda assisted them in other projects, they might have something aside from these Magicians with enhanced genes. ]
Avalon replied.
Wallace took a deep breath as he wanted to think what is the best course of action right now…
He might be able to save more people if he acted with them but…
"I'm not a saint. This is the path they've chosen. I'll respect their decision as a fellow magician. Avalon, we will stop the Floating Islands for now… We will observe the situation and act after the two nations are defeated."
[ Affirmative. ]
Wallace then left the secret room of the floating islands… He informed the Terror Magicians about the decision of the council to stop him from entering their territory…
After hearing this, everyone has mixed reactions as they were torn whether they would request to return to the country or stay here with Wallace…
