Chapter 542 Three-pronged attack
On June 5th local time, which translates to June 25th, 2028 in the Earth calendar, after arriving on Roland Star for so many days, the time for their joint attack to subdue the special forces was finally determined.
According to the joint meeting held on Roland, the three planets are prepared to dispatch all available fleets and powerful individuals to completely eliminate the special forces entrenched in this star system. The time for the joint attack is set for 60 hours from now.
Now that the specific time for the attack had been determined, the representatives from the other two planets quickly returned to their respective planets to prepare for the attack. After the meeting, Queen Raymond invited Li Chenglong to the reception room at the back.
She smiled and said, "When the battle begins, you and I will ride together on the Royal Navy's flagship, and your entourage will also come with us. However, they will not participate in the battle; they can just observe. Also, I have prepared those few things you asked me to make for you."
之前李成龙将蕾娜老师送给他的200kg艾扎姆莱金属交给了蕾蒙女皇，并拿出了整整6000颗11级、600颗12级晶石、100颗13级晶石作为购买宇宙超级金属、斯美拉矿石等珍贵材料的费用，拜托女皇为云岚、李雪、韩晓玲、云昊和云曦打造一件适合他们的武器。
After accepting the crystals, Queen Raimon personally used 10 of the most precious metals in the universe, including Izamulite metal and dimensional alloys, to forge a total of 12 weapons at the Royal Forge.
The Empress smiled and said, "The crystals you gave me are just enough to buy the materials. If you want me to forge weapons myself, no amount of money will be enough. So when the battle begins, you'd better perform well."
Li Chenglong put away the 12 weapons and replied, "Of course. Special forces are the enemy of all living beings, and I will do my best."
The two briefly discussed the upcoming battle and finalized the battle plan before Li Chenglong departed. Before leaving, Queen Raymond forcibly transferred her treasured forging techniques to Li Chenglong via direct telepathic communication. Although this would cause Li Chenglong headaches for a period of time, it eliminated the possibility of leakage by avoiding paper documents or data files.
With this technology, as long as Li Chenglong practices diligently, he will be able to forge weapons or other things himself in the future.
There were a total of 12 weapons forged, including two spears, one bow, four swords, one staff, two halberds, one sword, and one dagger. However, even though they were all longswords or spears, the styles of the weapons were not quite the same, and the patterns on them were also unique. For example, the four longswords included broad-bladed swords and narrow-bladed swords, and their lengths were also slightly different.
李成龙分出1根长枪、1张宝弓、1根法杖、1把宝剑和两把战刀准备留给家里人，其他的6件武器则是准备送人。这都是极为珍贵的武器，有了这个，单人的战斗力起码能提高百分之30。
As for who to give the remaining six weapons to, Li Chenglong had a general idea. He planned to send one battle sword to Commander Chen Guoqiang, two halberds to Zhao Wuji and Nangong Yanran respectively, another battle sword to Shangguan Jingyun, a spear to Xu Qingming, and the last dagger to Zhao Liying.
It wasn't that she was being stingy; it was simply that the materials for these weapons were far too precious, often costing a fortune. If it weren't for Li Chenglong, even if someone offered him twice the amount of crystals, Queen Raimon wouldn't have used those royal treasures, much less forge them herself.
Li Chenglong plans to study Queen Raymond's forging techniques when he has time, and once he collects suitable materials, he will forge some more powerful weapons for Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, Wu Gang, and the others.
Back at the villa, Li Chenglong told everyone about the battle time and the specific battle plan. Due to the special nature of this battle, Li Chenglong did not intend to take them all with him. Apart from Zhang Yang, Nangong Yanran, and Zhao Liying, who could go with him, the other four would stay here to guard the area.
After finishing their business, the group began chatting. Zhuque excitedly told Li Chenglong, "Lord Li, Sister Nangong, Zhao Liying, Sun Menghua, and I just went for a stroll in the streets and discovered that they actually sell space-generating microparticle potions here that can give people storage space. That's amazing!"
Sun Menghua chimed in, "So what if we have them? We can't afford them. The items are good, but they're just too expensive. One vial of potion costs a level 13 crystal. I have quite a few level 11 crystals, but not a single level 13 one." Nangong Yanran added, "Me too. I only have level 12 and level 11 crystals, but no level 13 ones. And the shop selling the potions is run by the royal family; they only charge level 13 crystals."
Li Chenglong nodded, understanding the situation. He smiled and said, "Actually, there's a crystal exchange right next to us. You can exchange low-level crystals for high-level crystals. You can go and take a look when you have the chance. Last time, I got a lot of space ore from Princess Sera, intending to make space potions myself, but it's still under development and progress is very slow."
Upon hearing Li Chenglong's words, Nangong Yanran immediately stood up and said, "I'll go to the crystal exchange office right now to see if I can exchange for a level 13 crystal. I'm definitely taking the space potion!"
As the second-in-command of Southeast, Nangong Yanran must have a lot of wealth. Exchanging for level 13 crystals should be a piece of cake for her. Li Chenglong looked at Sun Menghua and Zhao Liying from his second department and said, "You two should go too. If you're short of crystals, I'll make up for it, but the money will be deducted from your salaries slowly."
The two women were excited upon hearing this and followed Nangong Yanran and Zhuque. Li Chenglong then looked at Teng Hai, Wang Zhan, and Zhang Yang and said, "Let's go together and see if there are any interesting things in Roland City that we can buy to give to our relatives and friends when we return to Earth." Everyone readily agreed and went out together.
The group of eight first arrived at the crystal exchange area, where they found that the large screen displayed in real time the prices for exchanging high-level crystals for low-level crystals or vice versa.
李成龙看了一下，1颗13级晶石可以兑换50颗12级晶石，但12级晶石兑换13级晶石则要60颗。1颗12级晶石可以兑换100颗11级晶石，但120颗11级晶石才能兑换1颗12级晶石。
There were only two level 13 staff members at this exchange point; the rest were all automated robots. Everyone spent some time operating the machines, exchanging for the crystals they wanted. Li Chenglong spent the longest time operating the machines, taking out all his low-level crystals and exchanging them for 1000 level 12 crystals and 40 level 13 crystals.
After exchanging the items, at Nangong Yanran's suggestion, the group went to the place where space potions were sold. There were five types of space potions for sale here. The higher the grade of the potion, the more expensive it was, but the larger the storage space and the higher the success rate, and the greater the stability after use.
At Li Chenglong's suggestion, everyone purchased the highest-grade space potion, each requiring two level 13 crystals. Some people didn't have enough crystals, so Li Chenglong lent them some temporarily.
In addition, Li Chenglong also purchased 10 space potions, intending to give them to some relatives or friends who do not yet have storage space after returning to Dawn City.
After purchasing the space potion, the group wandered around for a long time, buying many things they had never seen before. Li Chenglong, in particular, bought a lot of saplings and seeds of psionic fruits, as well as seeds of other psionic food crops, intending to put them into the nature section of his psionic space.
After wandering around for seven or eight hours, the eight of them finally returned to the villa. Following Li Chenglong's introduction, everyone received injections of the purchased space-age potion. After experiencing some pain, they all gained storage spaces of varying sizes. Even the smallest storage space was 400 cubic meters, a significant improvement in both safety and portability compared to the storage capsules they had used before.
At 2:6 AM local time on June 7th, Li Chenglong, Zhao Liying, Nangong Yanran, and Zhang Yang boarded the royal flagship and set off into space with the vast interstellar fleet, preparing for a decisive battle with the special forces.
