Five hundred thousand interstellar warships.

Although this is a significant reduction compared to the three million interstellar warships previously proposed by Salamander the Flame Elf King.

However, this already meets the expectations of Salamander, the Flame Elf King.

When she proposed the number three million ships, she knew that this number was almost impossible to achieve.

No elven king would agree to that.

She proposed this figure because she gave the other party room for negotiation.

Salamander the Flame Elf King looked at the Radiant Elf King before him, and the Kaguya Elf King behind him.

Neither of them spoke, which was taken as an admission of the quantity.

But Salamander, the Flame Elf King's demands are far from over.

She continued, "Five hundred thousand interstellar warships are not a complete formation."

"Six hundred thousand interstellar warships, that's including my own personal guard fleet."

One hundred thousand more interstellar warships were added.

None of the many Elf Kings present had any objections.

Salamander the Flame Elf King then turned back to his throne and continued, "In addition, besides these 600,000 interstellar warships..."

The corresponding items are also indispensable.

Six hundred thousand interstellar warships represent one-fiftieth of our Holy Elf Empire.

In that case, I don't think there's any problem with me requesting that 5% of the military budget be allocated to me directly each year.

Once this budget is given to me, how I use it is my business, and you don't need to worry about it.

How I train, manage, and arrange these 600,000 interstellar warships is my own business, and you have no right to interfere.

"If you agree to these terms, I will now represent you to receive that near-T7 class interstellar warship from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire!"

"5%?" The Radiant Elf King was greatly surprised.

Keep in mind that this 5% budget is more than enough to support 600,000 interstellar warships.

This means that they either have to reduce the budgets of other legions and fleets, or the [N O V E L I G H T] Elf Kings themselves have to pay the difference out of their own pockets.

The Radiant Elf King wanted to speak again.

However, the Flame Elf King Salamander spoke first, interrupting him directly, saying, "These are my requirements, and not a single one can be less."

There's no point in discussing it like this.

Salamander, the Flame Elf King, spoke with unwavering conviction, allowing no room for doubt.

The Radiant Elf King could only look to the other Elf Kings, seeking an encounter with them.

Emerald Elf King Mansfield spoke first, saying, "I have no objection."

Now, the Emerald Elf King is only thinking about his Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

He didn't care about anything else.

"I have no objection," said Maritis, the Queen of the Azure Waters, with a shrug and indifference.

She herself had no objection to anything Salamander the Flame Elf King did, and had always maintained a neutral and slick attitude.

She agrees if others agree.

She opposes what others oppose.

Perhaps this is also why she served as an imperial diplomat, which shaped her personality.

Now, only the Radiant Elf King and the Kaguya Elf King remain who haven't made a statement.

Kaguya Elf King Onyne stared at Salamander Flame Elf King and said, "I know why you want these 600,000 interstellar warships."

I can agree to your conditions.

But I need your guarantee that, under no circumstances in the future, these 600,000 interstellar warships will ever aim their cannons at our Holy Elf Empire's interstellar fleet, nor will they be allowed to threaten our Holy Elf Empire!

Upon hearing this...

The Flame Elf King Salamander spoke almost without hesitation: "I can guarantee these things, and I can swear to the great Elf God."

Although I am now very close to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, in your eyes I have always been helping the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

However, my starting point has always been to eliminate the Devouring Civilization, a malignant tumor that threatens our Holy Elf Empire and other interstellar civilizations and universes.

At least so far, the Dragon Star Empire's actions have been aimed at dealing with the Devouring Civilization.

That's why I'm on the side of Emperor Xiaolong.

But that doesn't mean I've betrayed the Holy Elf Empire.

"I will always be the Elf King of the Holy Elf Empire, and I will never betray the Holy Elf Empire under any circumstances!"

Hearing Salamander, the Flame Elf King, speak so firmly.

The Elf King Onyne did not speak again.

Upon seeing this, the Radiant Elf King naturally announced, "Everyone has heard about this matter."

Since it was proposed in front of everyone.

The necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Regarding granting the Flame Elf King Saloman supreme independent command of 600,000 interstellar warships, and 5% of the Holy Elf Empire's annual military budget.

The High Council will now vote immediately. Those who oppose, please raise your hands.

The Radiant Elf King looked around the High Council and saw that very few people had raised their hands; they were scattered about.

Upon seeing this, the Radiant Elf King immediately announced: "The vote is over. Less than 10% of people oppose this proposal."

Therefore, I hereby declare that this proposal has been passed.

From this moment forward, the Flame Elf Queen Saloman has supreme command over these 600,000 interstellar warships. She can issue any combat orders to these 600,000 interstellar warships without threatening the Holy Elf Empire.

In addition, 5% of the military budget is allocated to the Flame Elemental King Salamander annually. The use of this military budget is to be decided by Salamander himself, and no one, including the High Council, has the right to interfere.

After saying this, the Radiant Elf King looked at the Salamander Flame Elf King, his eyes seeming to say something.

Are you satisfied now?

Salamander the Flame Elf King did not speak, but stood up and walked outside again.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you up to now?" The Radiant Elf King looked at the Salamander Flame Elf King.

"Aren't we going to see that near-T7 class interstellar warship of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire?" Salaman, the Flame Elf King, blinked and looked at the group.

The Radiant Elf King was taken aback, then reluctantly followed.

The other Elf Kings followed suit.

Emerald Elf King Mansfield was the fastest, almost right behind Salamander Flame Elf King.

The Radiant Elf King and the Dark Elf King walked at the very back.

As for the high elves, although they followed, it was hard to say whether they would be able to board that golden scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

But at least they can catch a glimpse of this legendary interstellar warship, which is close to T7 class.

The long corridor seemed to stretch on endlessly to the Emerald Elf King Mansfield, who began to mutter to himself.

Why is this road so long? It would be great if it could lead directly to the shipyard of that starport on the outer planet.

The Radiant Elf King at the very back looked at the Kaguya Elf King walking beside him, who always had a blank expression.

The Radiant Elf King spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "What did you mean just now?"

It was you who suggested that Salamander be dealt with in response to this incident.

"After hearing about that incident, were you the first to stand up and say that the punishment should be cancelled?"

Kaguya Elf King glanced at Radiant Elf King beside him and said calmly, "Because the situation is different now."

I previously suggested disciplining Salamander, the Flame Elf Queen, because she had indeed made a mistake at the time.

Without our consultation, they dispatched the Holy Elf Legion fleet to fight across the universe, and even to support the battle in the home universe of the Devouring Civilization.

This kind of thing must be dealt with. If we tolerate it, will other commanders do the same thing in the future?

This would disrupt the order and peace of the Holy Elf Empire.

The Radiant Elf King nodded; he had the same idea when he wanted to deal with the Salamander Flame Elf King.

The Elf King Kaguya continued, "As for my change of attitude just now, it's because of the Golden Scarab-class Heavy Interstellar Dreadnought that happened."

The Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought is the only mass-produced near-T7 class interstellar warship known in the universe.

Moreover, it has just undergone battlefield testing, confirming that this interstellar warship does indeed possess near-T7 level combat capabilities, and is not just a gimmick.

If our Holy Elf Empire could possess such an interstellar warship, it would be of great help to us.

Although it was only a ten-year lease to us.

However, over the next decade, we can arrange for our researchers to study and explore this near-T7 class interstellar warship.

Although by then, we may not be able to fully understand the technology of this near-T7 class interstellar warship.

However, if we can understand even a part of it, it could lead to a huge breakthrough in the technology of our Holy Elf Empire.

In this regard, the Emerald Fairy King Mansfield would certainly be very interested.

For a long time, our Holy Elf Empire has been stuck at T6 technology due to legacy issues from the past.

To be honest, I've always wondered if it's really a good thing that our Holy Elf Empire has been stuck at the T6 technology level.

Let's set aside the threat of it swallowing up civilization and order.

The Xiaolong Interstellar Empire alone, which is now catching up, already possesses technology that surpasses ours. Although they are not as well-established as us in terms of imperial foundation, given their current rate of development...

They will surely surpass us in the near future.

I have a feeling that if our Holy Elf Empire continues to stagnate, then the Wyvern Interstellar Empire will be the first interstellar civilization to surpass us, but it will definitely not be the last.

The current JF-17 interstellar empire is not hostile to us, but who knows what the future holds?

Or perhaps other interstellar civilizations or empires surpassing us, who might harbor hostility towards us?
