After this surprise.

Next, what was presented to this high elf were the ship's cannons and other weaponry of this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

"This is the electromagnetic energy main gun equipped on our Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, which also uses T6's top-tier technology."

As for whether it has reached the near-T7 level, it's hard to say, as I'm not a technical professional in this field.

Nine hundred of this type of main gun were mounted on this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

Its range is around medium, and it can sometimes be used to engage long-range targets, but its accuracy and power decrease significantly with increasing distance.

"Fully automatic high-density close-in weapon system, I don't need to explain what this is for."

Even the most powerful interstellar warships need to be prepared to defend against enemy close-range attacks, as well as interstellar fighters, interstellar drones, and the like.

With this close-in weapon system, this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought can attack from afar and defend up close.

The threat of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones.

The high elf councilors who heard this were all muttering to themselves.

When we fought against your JF-17 fleet, everyone knew that we basically had no interstellar air superiority whatsoever.

What's the point of talking about threats?

At this moment, Major General Wang Min, the captain, mentioned: "Although it is a close-in weapon system, if the distance to the enemy starship is reduced to a certain range, directly attacking the enemy's hull is also a good option."

Previously, when our two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts engaged the Devouring Civilization's... Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer, we closed the distance to a very close range and engaged in full-force combat.

These close-in weapon systems also came in handy.

No matter what, these are all weapons of T6 level or higher, aren't they?

Within this effective attack range, even a T3-class starship wouldn't be able to withstand this close-in weapon system shot.

T4-class starships themselves need to reconsider their own capabilities.

"This is our electromagnetic biological railgun."

This is a long-range attack naval gun, primarily responsible for compensating for the lack of conventional long-range firepower.

You still lack long-range firepower?

Are those interplanetary missiles just for show?

Upon hearing Major General Wang Min's words, the high elf councilors no longer even had the urge to complain.

The configuration of that starship is in a completely different league from theirs.

"Finally, this is the most powerful naval gun of our Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, and it may also be the most powerful conventional naval gun among our Xiaolong series interstellar warships."

Those super flagship models are not included; they are monsters.

Super-biological plasma pulse cannon bow main gun!

The power of this shot would be so great that even a T6-class starship wouldn't withstand more than a few hits.

You should know that our Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought has more than one main bow gun, the super-bio-plasma pulse cannon.

Instead, there are three doors.

If locked onto by these three main cannons, the only way to survive is with a chain defense matrix star shield or a starship of near-T7 level or higher.

Otherwise, any interstellar warship would be reduced to ashes before it!

When Major General Wang Min introduced the ship at this point, a proud expression couldn't help but appear on his face.

She couldn't help but feel proud.

The high elf councilors present had very complex emotions when they heard these figures.

Although they are unwilling to admit it or believe it.

But they know very well that these are the facts.

Because this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought is not just a mascot, but a genuine combat-tested vessel.

Moreover, these were the super flagships of the three kings who devoured the civilization!

Their combat effectiveness is not only in theoretical data, but also on the battlefield.

Therefore, even if these high elf councilors were unwilling to admit it, they now had to acknowledge that the value and status of this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought far exceeded any interstellar warship that their Holy Elf Empire currently possessed!

"We've basically covered everything about weapons."

Next, we'll visit the bridge.

"Please follow me, everyone." Major General Wang Min, the captain, continued to lead the way.

He seemed completely oblivious to the complex expressions on the faces of the high elf councilors behind him.

Compared to these high elf councilors.

The Elf Kings, on the other hand, were relatively calm.

The Flame Elf Queen's eyes blazed with intense heat, after all, this interstellar warship would belong to her for the next ten years, albeit only ten.

But she was already very satisfied, after all, this wasn't something that could be obtained easily.

As far as she knew, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire only had a dozen or so interstellar warships at the moment.

This clearly demonstrates the value of such a Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

Gustav, the Radiant Elf King, stood with his hands behind his back. When he saw something surprising, he would take a few more glances, but he didn't show much emotional fluctuation.

Maritis, the Water Fairy Queen, was more curious than anything else, looking around curiously.

She was probably the least interested Elf King present in this interstellar warship; she was more curious, especially considering the previous conflict between the Wyvern Interstellar Empire and the Devouring Civilization.

They had heard quite a bit of related intelligence.

Especially regarding this quasi-T7 class interstellar warship, the mass-produced version of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, there is no shortage of combat news from the battlefield.

Naturally, this also aroused her curiosity.

Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, had a cold expression, as if he were expressionless, and it was impossible to see any emotional changes or fluctuations on his face.

Among them, the Emerald Elf King Mansfield was the most excited and asked the most questions, while constantly coming to observe every aspect of the interstellar warship.

He was so serious, just like a student.

Soon, they arrived at the bridge gate.

This visit left the high elf councilors with very mixed feelings.

The Emerald Elf King was very excited at this moment, because just one visit had given him a lot of ideas.

If he could learn some of the technical details, the Emerald Elf King would probably spend the next few years immersed in his research lab.

The other high elf councilors were naturally shocked and envious, then shocked and envious again.

The technology on such a starship is something that their Holy Elf Empire currently has no way of accessing.

Even the Elf Kings were well aware of this.

The light gate on the bridge opened.

Led by Rear Admiral Wang Min, the group entered the bridge.

The bridge is large, but it seems very 'empty' at this moment.

Because this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought is not currently at full capacity; it only has the necessary personnel to ensure navigation and a working group from each department.

Therefore, the actual number of personnel on the bridge is less than one-tenth of the full capacity.

This naturally made the entire bridge appear spacious and quiet.

"This is the bridge of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought. Its function and purpose need no further explanation."

"Everyone is welcome to visit here, but please do not touch the equipment. If you have any questions, please ask the bridge crew around here," said Rear Admiral Wang Min, the ship's captain.

These words were spoken.

The Emerald Elf King was the first to rush out, and he was studying the bridge section of the starship very carefully.

To outsiders, the bridge may not appear particularly special.

After all, any interstellar warship can exist without interstellar missiles, main guns, or bow guns.

But it will definitely have a bridge.

What difference could there be? They're all pretty much the same.

However, in the eyes of the Emerald Elf King, one of the most important core parts of a starship is actually the bridge.

The bridge is the brain of this interstellar warship. Its design, deployment, and the technologies used directly affect the warship's combat capabilities and efficiency in battle.

It's possible that just a difference in a minor design detail could make such a huge difference in the combat capabilities of this interstellar warship.

Most importantly, they already knew that this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought used a very high level of artificial intelligence.

That will definitely be reflected on the bridge, which may be one of the reasons why there are so few people on the bridge.

Everyone is very curious about this place.

"Major General Wang Min, you and your soldiers."

During your stay in the Holy Elf Empire, I will provide you with the same benefits as our Holy Elf Empire's highest-level fleet.

If you need anything, I will arrange for someone to accompany you; you can just tell her.

We will do our best to meet any of your needs.

Upon hearing these words from Salamander, the Flame Elf King...

Major General Wang Min, the captain, quickly replied, "No need for that. His Majesty will arrange our salaries."

We also received additional subsidies for our trip to the Holy Elf Empire.

As for living conditions, the supplies carried on our Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts are more than enough to last for months, even years.

The Flame Elf King immediately feigned seriousness and said, "What your emperor gave you is different from what I gave you."

In short, since I'm giving it to you, then you should accept it.

Don't be shy with me!

Now that you've come here, you are my guests.

Then I will naturally take good care of you.

"Then...we shall respectfully comply."

On behalf of the crew, I thank Lord Flame Elf King. Rear Admiral Wang Min, the captain, is not one to be stubborn.

From then on, she was essentially under the command of this Flame Elf King.

Since it's something they offered to give me, I'll accept it for now.

At worst, I can report to my superiors after I get back.

Most of the higher-ups wouldn't care about such trivial matters; it's also a way to benefit the soldiers who are 'on business' with them.

...

After touring the bridge, the Elf Kings led the reluctant Emerald Elf King away from the bridge and headed towards the starship's dining hall.

They will then enjoy a welcoming banquet on this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought before departing.

At this moment, the Emerald Elf King naturally couldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, so he stayed close to the Flame Elf King.

"Saloman, can you let me stay on this starship a little longer?"

"I'll just look around, look around." The Emerald Elf King stared longingly at the Flame Elf King, his eager expression revealing his impatient desire to board that interstellar warship.

The Flame Elf King shrugged and said calmly, "I only have the right to use this interstellar warship. This interstellar warship must be returned to Emperor Xiaolong in ten years."

If you keep touching this and that, you might break it.

How am I supposed to compensate them then?

"How could I possibly damage such a large interstellar warship by just looking at it and touching it?"

Salamander, I've helped you a lot in the past.

If you want those advanced starship technologies, I will prioritize taking care of your fleet.

"This time, I've gone to great lengths to ask you for help, and you can't even grant me this small request?" The Emerald Elf King looked like he was ready to throw a tantrum if she didn't agree.

The Flame Elf King could tell that the Emerald Elf King was perfectly capable of doing something like this in order to explore the technology of interstellar warships.

They hadn't allowed him to go to the Dragon Star Empire before, which was perhaps understandable; he could have just put up with it.

Right now, the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought he had always dreamed of was right in front of him, and he still refused it.

He simply couldn't accept it.

The Flame Elf King hesitated for a moment, then looked at Major General Wang Min, the captain who had been following him.

Major General Wang Min, the captain, said with a smile, "His Majesty the Emperor gave instructions before we came."

During this period, we and this interstellar warship will be entirely at the command of Lord Flame Elf King.

That's giving them plenty of face.

The Flame Elf King looked at the Emerald Elf King with feigned helplessness, then shook his head and said, "I really can't do anything with you."

Oh well.

You can stay on this starship, but no one else is allowed to board without permission.

I will also arrange for a few people to accompany you. If you need anything, just tell these people.

Then any information you record must be reviewed by us before it can be used.

Furthermore, whether you can go to certain places depends on our permission.

If you can agree to these things, then I will allow you to stay here.

The Emerald Elf King no longer cared about these conditions; all he wanted now was to stay and study the interstellar warship, so he agreed to everything without a second thought.

The Flame Elf King didn't say anything more.

In fact, she granted the Emerald Elf King these permissions after considering many factors.

Since Emperor Xiaolong didn't interfere and boldly sent over this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, it means he's not afraid of them studying it.

That would be a good opportunity for me to do someone a favor.

Moreover, the Emerald Elf King possessed many of the top technologies of the Holy Elf Empire, and he also had some technologies that only he knew about but had not yet been revealed to the world.

This is a good opportunity for her to find out more about this old man.

Who knows, we might find something!

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

In the Starship Restaurant

The food that Rear Admiral Wang Min prepared for the Elf Kings and High Elf Councilors was naturally geared towards the Elf people's taste.

Moreover, the food used was cultivated by the most advanced Eden-class starships.

These delicacies would be priceless even in the Holy Elf Empire.

Therefore, even the Elf King and several high elven councilors, who were very careful to manage their own desires, were tempted by these delicious dishes.

The Azure Water Elf King was quick to act, exclaiming as he ate, "Wow, the food on your Dragonflight interstellar warships is so delicious!"

This is much better than the food in my ship's mess hall.

To outsiders, the Azure Water Elf King appears to be a simple, pure, and ascetic person.

But you should know that she is in charge of foreign affairs.

And those responsible for diplomacy between intergalactic civilizations naturally cannot avoid banquets.

Therefore, the Azure Water Elf King developed very high standards when it came to food.

Unlike ordinary elves, she doesn't care about food because of the needs of diplomatic occasions. She occasionally tastes food from other civilizations, even if it's not plant or fruit.

But in her heart, what she likes most is the eating habits she developed from childhood.

When visiting other interstellar civilizations, the local officials would naturally take into account the elven people's dietary habits.

In order to make a good first impression.

Those were all carefully prepared.

Although the Azure Water Elf King always said good things on such occasions.

But in reality, none of them gave it a very high rating.

Those foods were far inferior to those of the Holy Elf Empire.

The food on this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought is far superior to that of their Holy Elf Empire.

This made the Azure Water Elf King begin to envy the Flame Elf King in some ways.

This is her future starship, which means she can freely enjoy these delicious foods.

It seems I'll have to make time to come and find the Flame Elf King in the future.

At this moment, while enjoying the food in front of him, the Azure Water Elf King was already making plans in his mind.

at the same time.

The usually taciturn Elf King Kaguya spoke up, addressing Major General Wang Min directly: "Major General Wang Min."

Did you participate in the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire's campaign against the Devouring Civilization?

"As the captain of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, it's only natural that I participated in this world-renowned battle," Major General Wang Min replied with a smile.

Her face beamed with pride when she spoke of the battle.

The only force capable of launching two counterattacks against the home universe of the Devouring Civilization and severely damaging two super flagships of the three monarchs of the Devouring Civilization is their Dragon Legion fleet.

No one but them can possess this kind of pride.

They deserve it.

"Then, I wonder, what is Major General Wang Min's assessment of the interstellar legion fleet that devoured civilizations during this war?" The Kaguya Elf King Onyons took a small sip; although the food was delicious, he was the one present who was best able to control his desires.

He looked calmly at Major General Wang Min opposite him.

The Flame Elf King squinted at the guy, wondering why this usually taciturn fellow, who was even quieter than the Elf Kings, was suddenly striking up a conversation with the Dragon's officer.

There must be some ulterior motive behind this.

"As for my evaluation..." Major General Wang Min thought for a moment, then calmly replied, "My impression of the Devouring Civilization is that they possess advanced interstellar warships and technological weapons."

It also possesses a large number of interstellar fleets.

Therefore, they have a huge advantage in combat.

However, their fighting spirit was not actually that strong, except for the direct fleets of the three monarchs.

Other interstellar fleets might be because their original identity was that of conquered beings, alien races that had defected to devour civilizations.

Most of them joined the Devouring Civilization only out of necessity.

Therefore, they don't actually have much of a sense of belonging to the civilizations they devour.

It would be good to win the war, as it would bring benefits.

If we're going to lose, it won't be a fight to the death.

Upon hearing Major General Wang Min's evaluation...

The Flame Elf King nodded silently beside him.

Long ago, she had the privilege of clashing with interstellar fleets that devoured civilizations on several other interstellar battlefields.

Therefore, she knew that Major General Wang Min's words were correct.

This is pretty much what an interstellar legion fleet that devours civilizations looks like.

The reason for this is quite obvious: many of the interstellar legions that have devoured civilizations have actually come from interstellar civilizations conquered by the Three Kings.

Although most of them actively sought refuge.

But they were, after all, the conquered, while the three kings were the invaders.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of these alien interstellar legions do not actually have a strong sense of belonging to the civilizations they are devouring.

Naturally, there would be no fighting spirit to speak of.

If this were like before, where all the battles were won and all the victories were crushed, then it would be fine.

However, once setbacks are suffered, such as being overwhelmed by the JF-17 fleet on the battlefield this time, these shortcomings and weaknesses will be exposed.

"As for the situation in this battle..."

How much more do you think your JF-17 fleet could have?

You are confident that you can annihilate the entire fleet of the Devouring Civilization in one fell swoop and take over the Devouring Civilization's universe!

As soon as the question was posed by the Fairy King Onyne, almost everyone present perked up their ears. Even the Azure Fairy King, who was enjoying her meal, noticeably slowed down her eating.

Major General Wang Min smiled slightly and replied, "I am not the overall commander of the battlefield, so I am not very familiar with some battlefield data."

But based on the battlefield data I have access to...

In my personal opinion, this time our JF-17 Legion fleet deployed more than six million interstellar warships.

To completely annihilate all the legion fleets of the Devouring Civilization and conquer its entire territory, one must...

Without taking into account reserve war resources.

Fifteen million JF-17 series interstellar warships would suffice.

However, relatively speaking, it is well known that our Wyvern Legion fleet consumes a great deal of combat resources in battle. Therefore, this means that the war resources we need to prepare are likely at least five times more than those of other civilizations' legions and fleets.
