"Captain, the morale in all departments of our starship is not quite right right now."

Although all departments were brought under control in time, and were explicitly prohibited from viewing the surrender notices issued by the JF-17 fighter jet team.

"But some people are still watching secretly." The vice-captain said, looking at the captain with a worried expression.

The captain said in a deep voice, "Hmph, it's just some empty propaganda."

What are you afraid of? Just say it's all fake!

Going there would be suicide.

I simply don't believe the Dragon Empire would treat us surrendered people so well. Not sending us to the mines for the rest of our lives is already a miracle."

"Something terrible has happened!" Just then, the secretary ran over, her face full of anxiety.

"What's wrong?

"Aren't we resting in the rear?" the captain asked, puzzled.

At this moment, his starship was resting at the rear of the fleet, and theoretically, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"This is not a matter concerning our starship."

"It's...it's the enemy's surrender notice!" the secretary said breathlessly.

The captain snorted coldly: "Look at you all, so spineless."

"The surrender notices have been out for days now, what other tricks can they possibly pull?"

"They really did come up with something different."

It's a video about the subsequent resettlement of those who surrendered.

It's playing now.

This news spread throughout our fleet, causing another wave of surrenders! The secretary said decisively.

The captain frowned slightly.

This time, the secretary directly pulled up the relevant video.

The three of them looked at the video together.

The video was shot from multiple angles.

It has both close-up and long-range views, just like a surveillance channel.

The footage taken from a distance clearly shows a city.

At this moment, there is a constant stream of people coming and going in the city.

In those close-up videos, you can even hear the voices of people walking by.

"The food in the cafeteria today was really delicious!"

"That's right, it's so much better than the food on our previous starship. Compared to this, what we ate before must have been dog shit!"

"Unfortunately, we only have three months to enjoy it for free."

"What are you afraid of? We can find jobs!"

You used to be a bridge officer, and I used to be a senior armory manager.

Still worried about not finding a job?

Do you remember that blond kid who had dinner with us the day before yesterday? He was just a mid-level starship manufacturing technician, and he's already received his job offer!

"A month's salary, and that's the amount!"

Most of the people coming and going talked about things like food, life, and work.

They seemed to be in a hurry, but everyone's face was filled with a happy and fulfilling joy.

And the appearance and race of these people are all clearly from the universe that devoured civilization.

Therefore, the identities of these people are quite obvious; they are the ones who surrendered to the Xiaolong Empire in the past few days.

And these are just the tip of the iceberg.

"What's that?" The captain noticed a selection option in the video window.

The secretary explained from the side, "Those are the live streaming channels that you can choose to view."

The Dragon Empire directly provides over a hundred live streaming channels like these.

It includes the entire process of receiving and settling the surrendered personnel, as well as all video footage from the ongoing work phase.

Sweat beaded on the captain's forehead.

"And these videos are being streamed live 24/7, so you can watch them anytime," the secretary added, delivering another blow.

The captain swallowed hard.

"We...we're on board..."

"Someone's already checking, it's completely impossible to stop it, Captain," the secretary said helplessly.

The captain sat in the captain's chair, his expression somewhat bewildered.

"Our starship itself migrated from other interstellar universes that were invaded by the devouring civilization to the universe of the devouring civilization."

Although people don't say it, most of them still remember what happened back then.

It's fair to say that each of us has, to some extent, a few relatives or friends who died in the invasion wars that devoured civilization.

And now, we are invading other people's home universes, just like those who invaded our home back then.

This in itself keeps our crew under constant pressure.

In this situation, the Dragon Empire offered them another option.

This is like casting a ray of light into their originally dark hearts!

Add to that the current situation on the battlefield.

"It's only a matter of time before chaos breaks out on our starship!" the secretary whispered, his eyes darting around.

The captain didn't speak, his head bowed.

The vice-captain noticed the secretary's gaze at that moment. He glanced around and quietly activated the jamming function.

Then he whispered, "You mean...we should also pledge allegiance to the Dragon Empire?"

Taking advantage of this, the secretary laid his cards on the table and said, "To be honest, this is one of our options!"

It's also the only option for survival right now.

Given the current situation on this battlefield, how long do you think we can hold out at most?

I can say this: no more than five days!

If our homeland and our hometown are behind us, then I have no regrets about fighting to the death.

But let us die here, wearing this skin.

"I have no face to see my relatives and friends!" The secretary tugged at his clothes.

The captain immediately stood up, grabbed the secretary's clothes, and pressed him down into the captain's chair: "Do you know what you're saying?"

I could easily shoot you right here.

Furthermore, all legion commanders issued orders that anyone found harboring desertion intentions should be shot on the spot!

"Then just kill me."

Anyway, I have absolutely no desire to fight this war.

Even if you're alive, so what?

Go back to the universe that devours civilizations and become a lackey?

Under the control of a former enemy?

In the past, we had no choice; no one could resist the invasion that devoured civilizations.

But now we have a choice. The strength of the Dragon Empire is right in front of us. It may not be stronger than the Devouring Civilization, but it is at least capable of challenging the Devouring Civilization. There is also the Holy Elf Empire, which has always been regarded as a thorn in the side by the Devouring Civilization.

This is our opportunity!

Moreover, the Dragon Empire offered such favorable terms.

We have no reason not to choose it!

If, Captain, you remain obstinate...

Then you can shoot me right now.

But I can say this out loud: very soon, the vast majority of people on this starship will be thinking about surrendering.

"I hope your gun won't shake when the time comes, Captain!" The secretary looked directly at the captain with neither servility nor arrogance.

The vice-captain, standing to the side, was in a state of utter confusion, unsure of whom to help.

The captain's expression was complicated. He looked at the live broadcast footage and then at his comrades in front of him.

He closed his eyes: "Then... let's... lower... the price..."
