After disappearing for several years, this family will surely rise again in a short time thanks to the profits from these projects.

Therefore, Weiss is definitely going to take the blame.

And so the matter was settled, and no one would pursue it any further.

The Secretary General looked out the porthole at the starports built by the four families that were gradually disappearing into the distance.

A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

They had no idea what kind of enemies they had provoked.

That's the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Its military might makes it one of the top three most terrifying beings among known interstellar civilizations.

How dare these four families provoke such an existence? They really don't want to live long enough.

You should know that this is because of this incident.

Their chief executive of Burns, having been bitten by a snake once, was now extremely wary and issued a series of orders.

Not only did they block any news about contact with the JF-17 Emperor, but they also canceled all recent plans to send military fleets abroad.

The direction of all development has shifted from outward expansion to inward development.

Now that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has placed a pawn in the Luohe Starfield of the Cancer Interstellar Civilization Universe, who knows if there might be similar arrangements in other universes?

This time I was lucky and managed to avoid it.

What about next time?

They dared not even imagine the consequences of offending the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire if it were to declare war on the Burns Interstellar Civilization!

To prevent such a thing from happening again.

Burns, the chief executive, directly selected all factors that could lead to this situation.

...

On the other side, the four family patriarchs on the Star Harbor looked at each other in bewilderment.

They still don't understand what happened.

Why did the Burns Interstellar Civilization, which had initially agreed to everything, choose to renege on its promises and cancel all cooperation at this crucial moment?

What exactly happened?

"Old Xie, what exactly is going on?"

You've been the one connecting us all along.

We have always cooperated with you.

They also promised that once a new federal government is established, the Xie family will hold a majority stake.

"So now that he's about to pee his pants off, he's forcing us to hold it in?" The Meng clan chief waited for the Xie clan chief.

"yes.

The interstellar fleets of both sides are now positioned here.

The Kingdom of Luohe on the other side also has 100,000 interstellar warships as reinforcements.

On the other hand, the Burns Star Legion fleet, which we had agreed to leave on the spot, is now actually going to leave?

Several family patriarchs were questioning the Xie family patriarch.

Chief Xie's forehead was also covered in sweat; he himself had no idea why such a thing had happened.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You...you don't have to worry."

I'm trying to contact the people from the Burns interstellar civilization.

There must be some misunderstanding here.

There must be some misunderstanding.

After Chief Xie finished speaking, he immediately began making contacts in front of the group without saying another word.

During this period, the cooperation with the Burns interstellar civilization was facilitated by the Xie family.

But what I didn't expect was...

Subsequently, all of the communication requests sent out by Chief Xie were interrupted without exception.

He even received a message.

Some of the people from the Burns interstellar civilization who had previously been entertained in their Xie family territory suddenly left in a hurry, boarding their own starships.

When asked why they left, they offered no explanation.

His face looked extremely pale.

"How could this be... how could this happen..." Several minutes of communication had come to nothing.

This was something the Xie family patriarch had never expected.

He looked at the three family patriarchs around him with eyes that seemed to want to tear him apart.

He quickly explained, "I...I have another way. We can go directly to the Burns interstellar civilization universe."

I'll go and meet those people directly; I'm sure I can clear up the misunderstanding!

Our cooperation can continue.

"We can definitely continue!"

Before the Xie family patriarch could finish speaking, the Meng family patriarch couldn't hold back and punched the old man in the face.

"Misunderstand?

You fucking say these are all misunderstandings.

The highest-ranking secretary-general of the Burns interstellar civilization has arrived with the orders of the supreme commander.

You're still lying here.

All the Burns interstellar civilization people you were entertaining on your territory have left.

Isn't that obvious enough?

We've been abandoned!

"How could this be... The other side even has the help of the T6 interstellar civilization."

"We are no match for them at all." The patriarch of the Hu family swayed precariously, as if he might collapse to the ground at any moment.

"It's over, it's completely over."

We're all doomed.

"Those guys from the Luohe Kingdom won't let us go!" Fear filled the eyes of the Tai family patriarch.

They all knew very well that the fall of the Luohe Empire was due to the rebellion of several of their families at a crucial moment.

If their families hadn't rebelled back then, even with the decline of the Luohe Empire, they wouldn't be in their current predicament.

In addition, over the years, all four families have been suppressing the Luohe Kingdom in every way.

Therefore, they were convinced that once the Kingdom of Luohe seized the opportunity...

The four families would be the first to be eliminated.

Their four families had absolutely no chance against the Kingdom of Luohe!

"Report, breaking news."

The Burns Interstellar Civilization Legion fleet, which had appeared behind enemy lines, has begun its retreat!

The sudden news shattered the tranquility of the Luohe Kingdom's fleet.

"What?" General Leng Qian was shocked. She stood up abruptly: "Is the news accurate?"

"The news has been confirmed, and related video footage has even been captured."

"It's confirmed that the legion fleet from the Burns interstellar civilization is retreating!" the subordinate reported.

how so?

Aren't these Burns interstellar civilization's legion fleets reinforcements from the four opposing families?

Weren't they here to help them fight?

Why are you suddenly retreating now?

Could it be that...?

General Leng Qian suddenly thought of Emperor Xiaolong, recalling how Emperor Xiaolong remained calm when he learned that the opposing side had a million interstellar warships to support him.

She was now certain that the withdrawal of the Burns Interstellar Civilization's fleet was directly related to the Dragon Emperor.

"So this is the power of the Dragon Emperor..."

Facing a T6 interstellar civilization, to subdue the enemy without a fight. General Leng Qian's evaluation of the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Interstellar Empire rose to a new level.

Before this, all she knew was that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was a T6 interstellar civilization, an interstellar civilization with very strong military capabilities.

But perhaps she doesn't yet have a proper understanding of the military strength of this Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

The Burns Interstellar Civilization, which is a T6 interstellar civilization like the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, is very clear about what kind of existence the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is.

However, it would be extremely unwise to fight against such a powerful interstellar empire as the Dragon Emperor.

That's why we're in this mess now.

Disregarding their reputation, they immediately withdrew their entire army.

Just then, General Leng Qian received a message on her communication channel from the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.

The message was very simple.

The document simply stated that a military operation against the enemy would commence ten minutes later, in accordance with the original operational plan.

This was a battle plan she knew about beforehand.

The operation was simple; it was a conventional annihilation campaign.

Prior to this, she thought the battle plan was nothing special.

But when she learned that the Burns interstellar civilization would send a million interstellar warships, she felt somewhat uncertain.

Before this, she didn't think it was anything special even if the three opposing family legions had gathered three million interstellar warships.

The presence of 100,000 interstellar warships of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire here is enough to intimidate the enemy.

With the support of over 500,000 of their own interstellar warships, they are fully capable of fighting.

But if the enemy adds a million interstellar warships from the Burns interstellar civilization, then it's a completely different story.

At that time, she tried to contact Emperor Xiaolong.

The reply was that everything was proceeding according to the original plan, and that they would be notified promptly of any changes.

Despite her worries, General Leng Qian, who knew their current identities, could only remain silent.

Now, General Leng Qian understands that this was the plan Emperor Xiaolong had made from the beginning.

All of this was within Emperor Xiaolong's calculations.

I was overthinking it.

Having figured all this out, General Leng Qian's face was filled with excitement. She immediately began issuing orders and making battle arrangements: "Pass on my orders."

All legions and fleets of the Kingdom of Luohe have entered combat readiness.

Prepare for a flanking attack on both flanks!

...

Dragon Emperor Star Command Ship - Bridge

"Your Majesty Emperor Xiaolong, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

We never expected that it was Witz, the guy who had arbitrarily mobilized the Burns Legion fleet to participate in the Lohe Starfield campaign.

He actually mobilized the legion's fleet without authorization.

If we hadn't discovered it in time, he would have made a terrible mistake.

So I came here specifically to stop him, capture him, and bring him back to the Burns interstellar civilization for military trial.

Secretary Burns, who had previously shown no respect to the four family patriarchs, now looked at Emperor Xiaolong through the video window with a smirk.

Zhao Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, it's just a misunderstanding."

I still have faith in the sincerity of Chief Executive Burns.

Please give me your regards when you get back.

Yes, yes, yes.

I promise I'll bring it!

The communication window is closed.

Zhao Chen looked at Lilith beside him: "Judging from her attitude, it seems this really is a misunderstanding."

"At least the current result is what we wanted."

Although we are not afraid of this T6 Burns interstellar civilization, starting a war with a T6 interstellar civilization at this stage would undoubtedly be a very disadvantageous move for us.

Moreover, regarding the battlefield at hand...

The enemy has three million interstellar warships, plus one million interstellar warships from the enemy's T6 interstellar civilization.

"The 100,000 interstellar warships we've transferred here are far from enough. This means we'll need to redeploy even more interstellar legion fleets, which will inevitably affect other aspects of the battle," Lilith analyzed from the side.

Zhao Chen nodded in agreement.

Then, Zhao Chen looked at Xiong Xiangxiang and another commander in the video window.

This commander is Zhong Xiaoyun, the deputy commander of the Ninth Fleet Group of the Falcon 9, an Imperial Lieutenant General.

The human race, born in the former Starshine Empire, are officers of the Falcon Dragon system trained by the Falcon Dragon Military Academy (a Goddess Academy-class starship), and are also known as the fourth generation of officers of the Falcon Dragon Interstellar Empire.

Basically, the fourth-generation officers of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire are all orthodox Xiaolong system personnel, and the vast majority of them were trained by the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's own military academy system.

Her older sister was the deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet Group of the Falcon 100, which was under Xue Xiaoxiao's command.

The 100,000 ships that Zhao Chen mobilized this time were Leona's Fifth Legion fleet, which was originally assigned to activities in the Cancer interstellar civilization universe.

The person in charge of these 100,000 interstellar warships is Lieutenant General Zhong Xiaoyun.

"Next, we will proceed according to our original plan."

Xiong Xiangxiang and Zhong Xiaoyun, you two will be in charge of commanding the battle.

Because the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship is quite special, having it join the battle could increase the risk of exposing our JF-17 Thunder fighters.

Therefore, the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship should be avoided as much as possible.

End this battle in the shortest possible time.

In the shortest possible time, with the most ferocious supply, inflict as many casualties on the enemy as possible.

Although I don't expect you to annihilate the enemy completely.

However, this was a crucial moment for the Kingdom of Luohe to seize control of the Luohe Starfield in a single battle.

"If this battle is fought well, it can play a very important role and greatly save the Luohe Kingdom's future time in the Luohe Starfield." Zhao Chen looked at the two commanders.

"Understood," Xiong Xiangxiang and Zhong Xiaoyun said in unison.

"Then command is handed over to you."

"I only care about the results." Zhao Chen waved his hand.

"yes."

At this moment, Xiong Xiangxiang and Zhong Xiaoyun took over command of the battlefield.

However, Zhao Chen would still supervise their battle command as an observer, in case there were any problems with the battlefield command.

Zhao Chen will also intervene immediately.

But such a thing usually doesn't happen.

Zhong Xiaoyun and Xiong Xiangxiang already knew about the operation process beforehand, and naturally had already discussed several operation plans in advance.

"We will proceed according to the first operational plan that we agreed upon earlier."

My legion's fleet will launch the first attack, launching a strong assault on the enemy from the front.

Then your Imperial Guard fleet will carry out a decapitation strike against the enemy's elite fleet.

"As for the Luohe Kingdom's legion fleet, let them proceed according to the original plan, maneuvering around the battlefield to encircle the enemy and help us eliminate them more effectively," Zhong Xiaoyun said solemnly.

“That’s settled then.” Xiong Xiangxiang nodded.

In terms of status, Xiong Xiangxiang is actually above Zhong Xiaoyun.

However, when it comes to commanding large-scale battlefields, Zhong Xiaoyun, as the deputy commander of the legion fleet group, is undoubtedly more experienced.

In addition, she brought those 100,000 interstellar warships with her, and as the deputy commander, she had even more experience in operating them skillfully.

Xiong Xiangxiang did not vie for command; she only needed to be responsible for commanding her own three thousand Imperial Guard fleets.

Combat deployment complete.

The next step, naturally, is for the battle to begin.

While the four opposing family legion fleets were still in a state of chaos and confusion, completely unaware of what was happening,

The 100,000 interstellar warships of the Fifth Legion of the Xiaolong took the lead, forming a line and pressing forward in full force.

All interstellar warships have entered combat readiness.

This action, of course, could not be kept secret from the four family patriarchs on the other side.

But right now, they're still arguing about the current situation, and there's no consensus yet.

Furthermore, with three million interstellar warships gathered in one place without a unified command, it would be complete chaos.

"All you do now is try to shift the blame onto me."

You're asking me what to do?

What can I do now?

I was unable to contact the people from the Burns interstellar civilization for a short period of time.

Is this my fault?

All of our Xie family's belongings are here.

"If I didn't want to win, would I be here gambling with you guys?" The Xie family patriarch was getting impatient as the three people in front of him kept scolding him.

He pointed at the three people in front of him: "Now that there's a problem, you're all trying to shift all the blame onto me, aren't you?"

When I invited you to participate in this collaboration before, none of you had this attitude.

So you guys aren't willing to take any risks at all, are you?

If you have the ability, go and recruit reinforcements from the T6 interstellar civilization yourselves.

If you can secure this deal, I have no objection to giving you the lion's share of the pie in the Luohe Star Region.

If you don't have the ability, then you'd better shut up now!

Seeing the Xie family patriarch being pushed to the brink, the other patriarchs also fell silent.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that this matter was probably not the responsibility of the Xie family patriarch.

Something must have happened on the Burns interstellar civilization's side.

As for what exactly this change is, they have no way of knowing at this moment.

But there's definitely no way to solve this in the short term.

As for asking them to recruit reinforcements at the T6 interstellar civilization level, they naturally do not have that capability.

There are very few known T6 interstellar civilizations, while they appear to be T5 interstellar civilizations. However, it's important to know that the number of T5 interstellar civilizations is hundreds of times less than that of T6 interstellar civilizations.

Therefore, the two are not even in the same league.

This is why they acted like lapdogs when they saw the T6 interstellar civilization.

Indeed, the difference between the two is enormous.

"So what do you suggest we do now?"

We don't want to start arguing.

"But now that we've all reached this point, we can't just leave everyone in a bind, can we?" the Meng family patriarch said with dissatisfaction.

Just as everyone was about to start discussing what to do next.

The four clan leaders received the message from their own people almost simultaneously.

"Reporting to the clan leader! The Kingdom of Luohe has made a move!"

"Report: 100,000 enemy interstellar warships have launched a frontal attack."

"It's bad, Chieftain! The enemy's interstellar fleet will be within firing range in five minutes!"

"Chieftain, breaking news."

The enemy has launched a military operation; their starships are advancing rapidly. What should we do next?

Has the Kingdom of Luohe launched an attack?

The four family patriarchs were stunned when they heard the news.

They did not expect that the Kingdom of Luohe would launch an attack first.

This put them on the brink of a crisis, where they had to make a decision in the shortest possible time.

"Those guys from the Kingdom of Luohe are really underestimating us."

Although they have the help of a T6 interstellar civilization behind them.

"But after all, there are only 100,000 interstellar warships, while we have at least three million!" The patriarch of the Meng family looked furious.

The patriarch of the Hu family said with some concern, "But the enemy is, after all, a T6 interstellar civilization."

Although there are only 100,000 ships.

But don't forget, those three thousand interstellar warships were enough to threaten our legion fleet of three hundred thousand interstellar warships.

Right now, 100,000 interstellar warships are facing off against our 3 million interstellar warships.

The difference in proportion is even less than when there were 300,000 starships against the enemy's 3,000 starships.

"You can't say that."

My people have observed that the quality of those three thousand interstellar warships is several levels higher than that of the current one hundred thousand interstellar warships.

Those three thousand interstellar warships should be the elite fleet dispatched by the T6 interstellar civilization, while these one hundred thousand interstellar warships are the regular legion fleet.

"Their combat strength is naturally not on the same level," the Tai family patriarch said seriously.

At this moment, the Xie family patriarch, who had always been the leader, firmly said, "We actually have no other choice now."

That T6 interstellar civilization was clearly helping the Luohe Kingdom.

Is there any possibility of us negotiating our relationship with the Kingdom of Luohe?

Whenever we seize an opportunity, we are eager to get rid of the other party as quickly as possible.

Needless to say, the hatred the Kingdom of Luohe harbors towards us is even greater.

Therefore, our only hope is to continue fighting.

Furthermore, as Lao Tai just mentioned, the combat power of the enemy's 100,000 interstellar warships is different from that of their 3,000 interstellar warships.

We have three million interstellar warships, giving us a significant advantage in terms of sheer numbers.

It's not that there's no possibility of a war.

This can also buy us time.

During this time, I can personally go to the Burns Interstellar Civilization. I believe that with the connections I have built up there, I can definitely persuade them to support us again.

There must have been some misunderstanding about what happened before!

Upon hearing these words from the Xie family patriarch...

All three family patriarchs fell into deep thought.

The Xie family patriarch immediately continued, "Don't hesitate, this is our only option now!"

Do you have any better options?

oh.

Yes, there is.

That means you should lead your families and flee the Luohe Starfield like stray dogs right now, abandoning everything here.

You might survive that way, but you will become a family of refugees, no longer possessing your current status and everything.

Are you really willing to give up everything you've built up here over so many years?
