Chapter 1067
“Cultivators of the Silver Fang!” Prospero projected his voice across the enemy fleet. “We have come to discuss terms of peace! If you negotiate in good faith, no blood need be spilled today!”
Hoyt grinned slightly. “You think it will actually work out like that?”
“That depends entirely upon them,” Prospero said. “Even if nothing is accomplished, we must take the steps.”
A few moments later, there was a response from one of the Silver Fang. “Have your fleet maintain that distance, and we shall meet personally between our fleets.”
“Very well,” Prospero agreed. He then called out to their fleet. “Scarlet Alliance, match velocity!”
It was quite pleasing to see their own ships move in synchrony, while the enemy ships staggered. They clearly found it more difficult to reduce their forward momentum, with each ship performing differently. But with a bit of twisting and turning, the fleets ended up immobile relative to each other some hundreds of kilometers between them.
“Should I come with you?” Hoyt asked.
“Just remain on guard,” Prospero said. “It appears my counterpart is moving alone as well.”
Hoyt nodded. “Good fortune to you.”
