Chapter 1800
1800 Sky-Supporting Pillar
This was because the Red Dragon Army controlled the most powerful force in Dragon City, apart from the superhumans.
To avoid friction and even conflicts with the armed superhuman forces loyal to the nine mega corporations, they had always been silent and conservative.
However, a lot of young officers in the Red Dragon Army had gradually taken over the important positions from the bottom to the core in the past decades of battles.
These young military officers were orphans of war raised by Battle God Lei Zongchao. They were children of poor families who were sponsored and proud students whom Lei Zongchao had taught.
!!
To a certain extent, Battle God Palace, which was founded by these young men, could replace the Red Dragon Army to obtain the benefits that they deserved and the power that they yearned for and had to obtain.
Meng Chao was also a member of Battle God Palace.
Through Battle God Palace, Superstar Company had also reached a strategic collaboration with the Red Dragon Army, and it became one of the army’s most important logistics contractors.
The Red Dragon Army’s support was indispensable for Superstar Company to rise from an ordinary harvesting team to an emerging force that could be compared with the nine mega corporations in just a few years.
Meng Chao had escorted Lu Zhongqi and Yun Feidian’s corpses all the way back to the surface. Before dawn, he had been with “Railway gun” Long Feijun and the other young officers who were both from Battle God Place and the Red Dragon Army. They discussed Dragon City’s new structure after the chaos of the Blood Alliance.
The two of them welcomed the nine mega corporations’ three statements.
However, in the near future, what form would the nine great mega corporations exist in? They would still be firmly controlled by a cultivation family with an astonishing size, great power, and private armed forces. Their sphere of influence would span across Monster Mountain Range, and they would occupy the mountain and become kings in places beyond Dragon City’s reach. They would then establish their own businesses.
The strict Anti-Monopoly Law was also implemented to restrict and divide the nine mega corporations into dozens or even hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises. This would eliminate the possibility of an individual, including Deity Realm warriors, having too much power, authority, and resources. Even if a brand-new super enterprise was to be established, it should belong to all the citizens of Dragon City, and at most, it should be managed and operated by a peerless powerhouse.
The decision was too important. It was not something that Meng Chao and Long Feijun, the new generation and the young generation, could make in a few hours.
Nevertheless, the two of them could agree on some things on behalf of their respective forces.
No matter how complicated the differences and even conflicts between the various interest groups in Dragon City were, they should not use force to solve the problem.
Dialogue and cooperation were the common demands of all classes and major forces in Dragon City.
How one would rise in the future did not depend on the Deity Realm warriors of the older generation who still had great power, or on the new generation of experts like Meng Chao, who had an unstoppable momentum like the rising sun.
Instead, they had to listen to the voices of all the citizens and even hold an unprecedented public meeting to make a decision.
As for the person who called for and hosted the public assembly, or rather, at that moment, the only person who had enough power and prestige for all the forces to accept him to stabilize the situation in Dragon City was not Meng Chao, who had just returned.
It was the name that they had mentioned many times, Battle God Lei Zongchao!
Since the destruction of the Blood Alliance decades ago, Lei Zongchao, the number one master in Dragon City, had unexpectedly chosen to give up all his power when the highest power was just at his fingertips. He lived in seclusion, devoted himself to research, and did his best to expand the path of spirit energy cultivation.
In the beginning, some people suspected that he was hiding his strength and biding his time. He was trying to build a huge interest group in addition to his tyrannical individual combat power. Once his wings were fully grown, he would then seize the control of Dragon City from the hands of the nine mega corporations.
However, Lei Zongchao spent nearly half a century, or rather, he spent more than half of his life proving that he was truly not interested in fighting for power.
At this moment, Lei Zongchao, who had reached the end of his life, was suffering from the backlash of spirit energy because he had spread the Kindling of his cultivation to thousands of households through his hard work. He could no longer appear in public and be exposed to the intense sunlight and air that was rich in impurities like normal people.
He could only live at the top of the Supernatural Tower, in Battle God Palace, which had been built with special crystal materials. Occasionally, when he wanted to leave the Supernatural Tower, he had to wear a medical suit that looked like ancient heavy armor.
He obviously would not pose too much of a threat to the major interest groups in Dragon City.
As such, he won the respect of all parties from the bottom of their hearts, becoming the “greatest common variable” that was acceptable to all.
Meng Chao also felt that getting Battle God Lei Zongchao to help Dragon City survive the most dangerous and chaotic period was the best choice.
In his apocalyptic nightmare, Lei Zongchao’s old injuries relapsed, and he, unfortunately, died without his help.
Without the Battle God’s control, the nine mega corporations would develop in an abnormal way, and they might even become the dominant force.
This time, Meng Chao believed that the secret technique from Picturesque Orchid Lake would help Lei Zongchao extend his life. It would allow him to continue protecting Dragon City civilization until he saw the dawn of victory.
As for Lei Zongchao’s personal opinion, Meng Chao and Long Feijun both agreed that it was not a problem.
One should know that the great Battle God loved his home and compatriots very much. He had fought for the Dragon City civilization all his life.
In the past few decades, he had not been willing to leave the mountain, just because he did not want to have any conflict with the nine mega corporations.
However, at this critical time, Meng Chao and Long Feijun believed that this respected master would not just sit back and do nothing.
As long as he was still breathing, even if his cells were suffering the pain of burning his spirit energy, Battle God Lei Zongchao would step forward and build his body into a pillar that supported Dragon City.
Long Feijun had been stationed in Dragon City for the past year and had been with Lei Zongchao at all times. He knew the Battle God’s current situation better than Meng Chao, so he volunteered to go to the Supernatural Tower and report what had happened last night to his master. He also invited Lei Zongchao to take charge of the situation on behalf of all Battle God Palace members.
Meanwhile, Meng Chao received news from Ai Lei.
Even though she was just an ordinary tabloid reporter, Ai Lei and her peers had played a crucial role in yesterday’s battle.
Sneaking online and spreading the news of Meng Chao’s shocking adventure in Picturesque Orchid Lake, as well as his grand return, was only one aspect.
More importantly, through her various network channels, she had grasped how the more than ten million Dragon City citizens truly felt about the current situation and their future!
