Upon hearing these words from the Xie family patriarch, the three patriarchs naturally showed resentment in their eyes.

Their family has gone from betraying the Luohe Empire in their early years to building their current family empire and achieving their current status.

How could they possibly be willing to give up everything here?

"Old Xie."

I'll trust you one more time.

If something goes wrong again this time...

"Even if our Meng family is destroyed, we will drag your Xie family down to hell with us!" The Meng family patriarch glared at the Xie family patriarch.

"Well, we still have a choice now."

This is a road of no return.

"From the moment our family betrayed the Luohe Empire, it was a predetermined path." The patriarch of the Hu family sighed, wondering if he regretted his family's betrayal of the Luohe Empire.

"Then stop talking nonsense."

Get things done quickly.

We are here leading the legion fleets of four families, entangled with the enemy.

Based on the troop strength we have.

With three million interstellar warships, even if they can't defeat the enemy, engaging in a battle for thirty to fifty hours shouldn't be a problem.

"Old Xie, hurry up and contact your people in the Burns interstellar civilization," said the head of the Tai family.

"Um."

And so, the basic principles of the four family patriarchs were established.

The head of the Xie family immediately set off to prepare for a journey to the Burns interstellar civilization universe.

The remaining three family patriarchs stayed behind to fight this fierce battle.

The Xie family patriarch led thirty interstellar warships, preparing to use props for inter-universe travel from behind the battlefield.

At that moment, he stood in front of the porthole on the bridge of his flagship, looking at the starry sky in the distance, which seemed to be on fire.

His eyes were filled with fear.

What did he see?

He saw the interstellar legion fleet from the T6 interstellar civilization, which launched the first attack using a large number of interstellar heavy gunships and interstellar missile ships.

The once pitch-black starry sky is now illuminated by interstellar cannons and interstellar missiles.

Like a meteor shower, they fell upon the combined forces of the four family legions.

The scene was incredibly stunning and spectacular.

At this moment, the Xie family patriarch had an even clearer understanding of the military strength of this T6 interstellar civilization.

He swallowed hard, having already made a decision in his heart.

He should immediately issue an order to his family that if he fails to persuade the Burns interstellar civilization to send reinforcements to support them within a certain period of time...

The Xie family immediately sought a way to take all the resources they could and completely evacuate the Luohe Starfield.

He himself will never return to the Luohe Starfield.

Because he was clearly aware of this war.

Without the intervention of the T6 interstellar civilization, the outcome of this war would have been predetermined.

This Xie family fleet, carrying the Xie family patriarch who was burdened with worries, departed.

The remaining fleets of the four family alliances were enduring a scene that resembled hell.

The configuration of 100,000 JF-17 series interstellar warships.

Although it doesn't have the large-scale interstellar missile ship configuration of the Hells Angels Ace Fleet.

However, among these 100,000 interstellar warships...

It still has fifty T5 Scarlet Reaper-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ships and five hundred Hells Angel-class heavy interplanetary missile ships.

There is also a T6 Holy Blood Hell Angel-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ship!

Regarding interstellar heavy artillery ships.

It also has one hundred T5 Sinister Spear-class heavy interstellar gunships and three thousand T4 Medusa-class heavy interstellar gunships!

Under such powerful and terrifying long-range firepower.

Almost in the first round of attacks, they directly broke down the front-line defense systems of the four family legion fleets.

This resulted in massive casualties among interstellar warships.

This resulted in a very good effect for the JF-17 fleet's frontal assault.

Led by nearly fifty T6 Thunderlord-class heavy star destroyers, the remaining T5 and T4 starships rushed forward in a swarm.

There are also swarms of interstellar drones and interstellar fighters providing air combat support everywhere.

Almost from the very beginning, they overwhelmed the opposing family's fleet, leaving it completely defenseless.

Despite their numerical advantage, the enemy's attack was simply too terrifying, and the fact that they were four family legion fleets made it extremely difficult for them to organize an effective defensive system.

Once some defensive positions are about to be established, Xiong Xiangxiang's Imperial Guard fleet will appear, displaying an even more unparalleled and terrifying combat power.

Faced with a large number of T6 starships, there were almost no defensive positions or fire networks they could not break through.

This made the advance on the main battlefield very smooth, like a lawnmower, harvesting the interstellar warships of the four family legion fleets in large swaths.

The Luohe Kingdom's 300,000 interstellar warships also made their move, but they mostly maneuvered around the flanks to encircle and surround the enemy.

However, due to the rapid and powerful attack of the JF-17 fleet.

An interesting scene even emerged.

That is, the advance speed of the Luohe Kingdom's fleet, which was flanking and encircling the enemy, was actually slower than that of the Xiaolong Legion's fleet, which was charging head-on.

This scene left General Leng Qian feeling utterly powerless. Could it be a problem with their kingdom's legion fleet?

But as the commander, she knew very well that this was almost the full strength that the Kingdom Legion's fleet could muster.

To describe it in one sentence.

It's not that they didn't try; it's that their allies were too powerful!

The battle in the Luohe Starfield started suddenly, proceeded abruptly in the middle, and ended just as quickly.

From the start of the battle to the defeat of the four major family legion fleets, the entire process took less than a dozen hours.

This is also because within these dozen or so hours, the four major family legion fleets directly lost more than one million interstellar warships!

It should be noted that the four major families' legions have assembled approximately three million interstellar warships here.

In just over ten hours, more than a million interstellar warships were annihilated.

So cleaning up the remaining interstellar warships is just a matter of time, right?

In contrast, consider the number of enemies annihilated by the four major family legion fleets.

The total number of enemy ships destroyed was less than 50,000!

More than 90% of them were interstellar warships from the Luohe Kingdom's legion fleet.

The main problem was the legion fleet that General Leng Qian was responsible for surrounding. At first, things were fine, but when the four major family legion fleets began to fear the combat power of this unknown T6 interstellar civilization legion fleet...

At this point, the four major family legion fleets began to split, and even one of the family legion fleets had disagreements.

Many people believe that continuing the fight like this will only result in the needless sacrifice of their interstellar warships.

After all, this 50 to 1 casualty ratio was something that had never happened before in their military history.

This was a complete one-sided crushing defeat.

Therefore, they were already very clear that they were no match for the unidentified T6 interstellar civilization fleet on their own.

At first, it was just a dispute.

However, some encountered a tough stance from above, after long-standing resentment and witnessing too many horrific scenes of enemy interstellar fleets being destroyed.

Finally, some people broke down, and some interstellar warships began to back down and avoid battle, eventually leading to a small fleet retreating and breaking out.

From the initial small fleets, to a certain legion fleet, and then to even hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships, they all began to collapse and flee.

At this time, the Luohe Kingdom's fleet, led by General Leng Qian, which was originally responsible for the encirclement, naturally faced immense pressure.

This resulted in them suffering some battle losses, even far exceeding those of the JF-17 fleet fighting on the main battlefield.

General Leng Qian herself felt embarrassed by this.

To be realistic, the enemy's retreating and defeated interstellar legion fleet was far too large, ranging from tens of thousands at the beginning to hundreds of thousands later.

This almost exceeds the number of interstellar warships in the Luohe Legion fleet led by General Leng Qian.

Therefore, intercepting it is still quite difficult.

But as a commander, even knowing this situation...

But now that the facts are before her, General Leng Qian still feels somewhat ashamed, and even feels that she has no face to see that tyrant emperor.

Their fleet was engaged in direct combat, undertaking the most arduous tasks.

However, they themselves were unable to complete even this kind of flanking and encirclement mission.

This caused General Leng Qian to reprimand her subordinates quite a bit, making them look foolish.

Let's get back to the main topic.

With the fleets of the four major families beginning to crumble.

As expected, Zhao Chen ordered a pursuit to eliminate as many enemies as possible, and to make the battle as large as possible, because this was the founding war that Zhao Chen had arranged for the Luohe Kingdom.

Only by winning this war of founding the nation brilliantly can we lay a solid foundation for the future rise of the Luohe Kingdom!

Luohe Star Region - Half a month later

In just half a month, the Luohe Star Region has undergone earth-shattering changes.

No one expected that in just half a month...

The situation, which was originally a five-way power struggle, was suddenly brought to an end.

Moreover, it was the least favored kingdom, the Luohe Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Luohe also recovered the previously lost territories, instantly restoring it to the size of the original Luohe Empire's interstellar territory.

The speed of this revival was beyond anyone's expectations.

The day after the restoration of the original Luohe Kingdom's territory, Queen Leng Yun of the Luohe Kingdom announced that the Luohe Kingdom would hold a ceremony to announce the reunification of the Luohe Star Region and subsequent management matters.

This was a joyous occasion for the Kingdom of Luohe and its old factions.

Above the capital star of the Kingdom of Luohe

A large number of interstellar warships have gathered here, coming from all directions of the Luohe Star Region, and even from interstellar forces outside the Luohe Star Region.

On Mount Wangdian, the capital planet of the Kingdom of Luohe, everything had already been arranged in the vast mountaintop plaza.

Tens of thousands of guests gathered here.

As the surrounding cannons roared, Queen Leng Yun of the Luohe Kingdom walked out of the palace and stood at the highest point at the front of Luohe Square, where everyone could see this valiant and heroic queen.

There were two people beside her.

They are the two marshals of the kingdom.

Originally, there should have been three marshals, but as everyone knows, one of the marshals betrayed the Luohe Kingdom before the recent changes in the Luohe Starfield.

Right now, there are only these two marshals.

One is the old marshal of the kingdom, and the other is naturally the marshal Leng Qian who has been in the limelight recently!

All eyes were on the three of them.

As the cannon salute subsided, the melodious music of a band began to play in the distance.

At this moment, holographic projections of the scene at the Royal Capital Star Plaza appeared on all the major planets in the Luohe Starfield.

Trillions of people in the Luohe Starfield are watching the Luohe Queen.

Queen Leng Yun swept her gaze across the tens of thousands of people in the square. She slowly spoke, and her voice, amplified by the loudspeaker, resounded throughout the entire square, the capital star, and the Luohe Starfield.

"I am Leng Qian, Queen of the Kingdom of Luohe."

We hereby announce that after hundreds of years of decline, the Kingdom of Luohe has finally returned to its former glory, and we can confidently tell our ancestors about it.

We have now reclaimed everything that belongs to us.

The Luohe Starfield belongs to us again!

Those who betrayed us have already paid a heavy price.

Several video feeds appeared on screen while Queen Leng Qian was speaking.

The footage, taken over the past two weeks, shows the Luohe Kingdom clearing out the remaining forces of the four major families. All the footage captured is of the Luohe Kingdom's own legion and fleet.

None of them are related to the JF-17 Thunder Legion fleet.

This is naturally for reasons of confidentiality.

These images captured scenes of the attack on the capital planet of the Mon family.

In addition, direct members of the four major families were arrested and their related assets were confiscated.

And the scene of the trial of the direct descendants of the four major families.

There are even scenes of the patriarch of the Hu family, one of the four great families, hanging himself, and the patriarch of the Tai family being sentenced to treason by the military court of the Luohe Kingdom and publicly executed.

Upon witnessing these sights, the old nobles of Luohe in the square were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, cheering the names of the Luohe Kingdom and Queen Leng Qian.

After a reading.

Queen Leng Qian paused, waiting for the surroundings to quiet down.

She continued, "From this point on, our Luohe Kingdom has entered a brand new chapter."

Therefore, the Kingdom Council made a decision after discussion.

From this day forward, the Kingdom of Luohe will be renamed the Duchy of Luohe, and I will assume the title of Queen of the Duchy of Luohe.

............

What followed was the reading of some articles of association concerning the Duchy of Luohe.

The establishment of the Duchy of Luohe was actually discussed within the original Kingdom of Luohe.

Most people would certainly disagree. Although 'duchy' is just a term, in the public's perception, its level is the same as that of a kingdom, but lower than that of an empire.

Many people hope to rebuild the Luohe Empire.

However, those who knew the truth were well aware that they would never establish the Luohe Empire.

After all, they have the Dragon Star Empire behind them.

Although it has not been publicly acknowledged, and the agreement signed with Emperor X-Dragon states that the two parties are equal allies.

However, everyone knows in their hearts that the Duchy of Luohe is a vassal state of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. As a vassal state, you are just like your overlord state, both becoming empires.

Is this appropriate?

Although Emperor Xiaolong did not speak.

However, they were still very clear about their identity and status, so they renamed the Kingdom of Luohe as the Duchy of Luohe.

Some people may still wonder why the original kingdom title wasn't retained, as the Luohe Kingdom sounds much better than the Luohe Duchy.

This was during a discussion between Queen Leng Yun and General Leng Yun.

It is generally recommended that, in order to distinguish it from the previous humiliating history, the title of "Kingdom" should not be continued.

The reason for choosing the duchy was that Queen Leng Yun and General Leng Qian had a secret plan.

That was based on the future development plan formulated for them by Emperor Xiaolong.

According to the plans made for them by the Dragon Emperor, their territory will not be limited to the Luohe Star Region, but may even control most of the Cancer Star Civilization universe in the future.

At that time, the Duchy of Luohe will become the Grand Duchy of Luohe!

These were their thoughts.

This led to the current plan to establish the 'Luohe Duchy'.

With these two speaking, the Kingdom Council, which was merely a mascot, naturally agreed unanimously.

"Two individuals stood out in this battle in the Luohe Starfield."

Therefore, I hereby announce the commendations for the two of them.

First and foremost, there was Marshal Zhou Xiong.

Marshal Zhou dedicated his life to the revival of the Kingdom of Luohe. Before that, he led the First Legion Fleet of our Kingdom of Luohe in battles against several rebel families on the border for many years, winning several close calls.

He is a great contributor to our Duchy of Luohe.

I hereby announce that Zhou Xiong is granted the title of Honorary Marshal of the Duchy, and the hereditary title of Prince (not of the same surname).

Marshal Zhou Xiong bowed slightly beside him, expressing his gratitude for the reward: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

"In addition, General Leng Qian played a pivotal role in this Luohe Starfield campaign, leading the legion fleet to conquer and recover the territories of four rebel families."

I hereby declare that General Leng Qian is hereby granted the title of Honorary Marshal of the Duchy and Supreme Commander of the Duchy's Armed Forces. Without my order, she may directly command the entire Luohe Army.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty." General Leng Qian also stepped forward to express her gratitude.

It seems that the two men's rewards were roughly equal.

But anyone with discerning eyes can see that the reward given to Marshal Zhou Xiong was more of a hollow honor.

Although there are only two Honorary Marshals in the Duchy of Luohe right now, besides Leng Qian, it's him.

But it's just a title; it doesn't grant any real power.

The only useful thing is the hereditary title of prince from another family.

This is also the only prince from a different surname in the Duchy of Luohe to date.

This can be considered as providing Marshal Zhou Xiong with a guarantee. From now on, the Zhou family will be the largest family power in the Duchy of Luohe, apart from the royal family.

As long as they don't overstep their bounds, the Zhou family will enjoy eternal prosperity!

This can be considered a promise made by the Queen of Luohe to Marshal Zhou Xiong.

General Leng Qian, on the other hand, received a genuine reward.

He holds the title of Grand Marshal of the Duchy's entire army and has the right to command the entire Duchy's army without the Queen's orders.

He was second only to the emperor and above all others within the Kingdom of Luohe!

This is a real reward.

The remaining rewards were mostly mentioned only briefly, or were simply left to the departments below to bestow them themselves.

...

At this moment, in an open area outside the capital planet, the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship is hovering.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, holding a chicken leg in his hand, while watching the transmission screen of the Duchy of Luohe.

"Leng Qian and Leng Yun are indeed quite capable."

"We've completed the unified recapture of the Luohe Star Region a week ahead of the promised month." Zhao Chen glanced at Lilith, who was also enjoying her meal.

Lilith said, "These two have been very efficient lately."

One approach is both literary and military, employing a two-pronged strategy.

With our support, General Leng Qian led the legion fleet and, after the previous decisive battle, directly divided her forces into four groups and wiped out the strongholds of the four families.

The remaining remnants of the four major families are all easy to deal with.

Although many members of the four major families escaped from the Luohe Starfield during this period, it was all insignificant.

Meanwhile, Queen Leng Yun was not idle either. She released relevant information to the public, stating that the noble forces under the rule of the four families could now choose to submit to the Duchy of Luohe.

As for the previous events, the Luohe royal family will no longer pursue them unless they are not very serious, and those who perform well will be given important positions after the new order is established.

This led to many families directly defecting to the Luohe royal family, and these families played a crucial role in the subsequent cleanup and pacification of the Luohe star region.

This ensures that even though the Luohe Star Region has just finished a battle, it won't descend into chaos.

Based on our assessment, the Luohe Starfield should be able to recover to its pre-war level in at most another month.

Of course, this is without taking into account the development zone we established for the Duchy of Luohe.

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction: "It seems that the agent we chose this time is quite good."

How's the construction progressing in the special economic zone?

Lilith brought up some video footage.

You can see a large number of industrial facilities under construction.

Stargate, starport, industrial factory, etc.

A scene of bustling activity and great success.

In addition, there are several signed agreements and contracts.

The two parties involved in the above cooperation are the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and the Luohe Principality.

"We have signed many related agreements, collectively known as the Xiaolong Aid Luohe Construction Project."

In addition to technical support, there is also financial support.

Of course, these funds accrue interest and will be repaid in various equivalent forms in the future.

The projects we invested in and constructed were basically the ones we had agreed upon.

We also provided them with export-grade JF-17 interstellar warships!

The first phase of construction is expected to take two months to complete. At that time, the Duchy of Luohe will have its own military-industrial complex and will be able to build T5 and below interstellar warships.

Of course, for each ship built, we will be paid a related technology licensing fee.

Furthermore, the core modules of the T5-class interstellar warship need to be procured from our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

The production time required for this core module accounts for less than 1% of the entire starship, but its importance accounts for more than half of the entire starship!

"With this arrangement, even if the Duchy of Luohe becomes powerful in the future, it will not be able to escape our control," Lilith said.

Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly; this was his previous thought.
