However, after saying all this, Zhao Chen's murderous aura vanished instantly, replaced by an aura of leisurely ease. He chuckled and shrugged, saying, "However, our current deployment is naturally not intended to take the path of starting a war."
While this path can lead to rapid growth, it also carries significant risks.
It's somewhat similar to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; it might fill your stomach in the short term, but it can't last.
In comparison, the current development model is more suitable for our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
By leveraging shared interests, we bind interstellar civilizations to the chariot of our Dragon Star Empire.
With such immense vested interests at stake, if anything were to happen to our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, it would be like an avalanche, swallowing up all the surrounding interstellar civilizations.
Everyone will sincerely help us.
Of course, all of this is predicated on our ability to demonstrate sufficient strength, advanced technology, and a powerful military fleet.
Without these, people would naturally not be willing to follow the Dragon Star Empire.
Furthermore, this method, while not allowing access to all the resources of those interstellar civilizations' universes in a short period of time.
However, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and then trying to raise another chicken would take a lot of time, and that chicken might even become resentful.
And like we are now, through cooperation, we've made this chicken willingly lay eggs for us.
Although the process may be a bit slow, we can improve the chicken's production efficiency by playing music and adding some technology.
In the long run, this approach actually allows us to acquire more resources.
Zhao Chen explained his thoughts.
Actually, there was another thing Zhao Chen said to Lilith's secretary at the time, but he didn't bring it up publicly.
That was a secret project carried out by Lilith's secretarial department.
That is, within ten years, to cultivate a large number of leaders who are close to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and infiltrate the upper echelons of these interstellar civilizations.
They even became their leaders.
In this way, these interstellar civilizations and universes can be made to obey the orders of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.
"So, what you mean is..."
This conqueror civilization is following the path you envisioned.
"Conquer everything, sustain war through war," said Onyne, the Elf King of Kaguya, in a deep voice.
"If the information you provided is correct, then that should be the case."
Moreover, it is clear that their own universe is no longer sufficient to meet their war needs.
They need to conquer more universes and acquire more resources.
Unfortunately, our universe cluster has been targeted by this conqueror civilization. "Zhao Chen said.
The Azure Water Elf Queen, Maritis, subconsciously said, "Since this conqueror civilization is so powerful, why isn't there any possibility of cooperation?"
"That's impossible!" Zhao Chen and the Elf King Onyons exclaimed almost in unison.
Onyne, the King of the Kaguya Elves, glanced at Zhao Chen, then gave a cold look to Maritis, the Queen of the Azure Water Elves, and said in a cold voice, "We, the Kaguya Elves, will never associate with enemies who have slaughtered our star system home."
I haven't found a way to do it yet, but once I have the chance, I will take revenge on this conquering civilization.
I will make them pay for the crimes they have committed!
It's clear that the Elf King Onyne is completely unable to let go of what happened in the Nightfall Galaxy.
Zhao Chen then spoke up, saying, "If we seek cooperation with the Conqueror Civilization, it would be like asking a tiger for its skin."
It's important to understand that an interstellar civilization is accustomed to killing, to conquering, and to rapidly acquiring the resources of a universe.
Then they will no longer do peaceful things.
For example, if a tiger is used to eating meat, can you make it eat grass?
If I'm not mistaken, the conqueror civilization was permeated with a plundering character from top to bottom.
Their purpose in attacking me this time was probably to find out the current strength of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire through some means.
Therefore, they were unwilling for the Wyvern Interstellar Empire to continue its development and wanted to nip this interstellar civilization, which could potentially hinder them, in the bud!
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's description...
Before the eyes of the Azure Water Fairy Queen Maritis, it seemed as if she could already see a beast, a beast whose body was not covered with scars from battle, and whose mouth even contained unswallowed corpses.
His entire body was filled with an aura of killing intent.
"Now that we know that such a conqueror civilization exists..."
But how did they get to our universe cluster, and what are their plans next?
We have absolutely no way of knowing.
"How should we deal with this?" asked Maritis, the Queen of the Azure Waters, in confusion.
Zhao Chen also fell silent at this moment, because this was indeed the problem they were facing now.
The enemy can see them, but they can't even see their own enemy now.
“Perhaps their ambush on you this time is an opportunity for us to find them,” said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chen asked with interest.
"You said before that they sent 100,000 interstellar warships to ambush you, and that they were all elite fleets."
Therefore, it is highly likely that they utilized a large white hole that recently appeared within the territory of the Majas Interstellar Empire, or that their technology for deploying legion fleets has undergone a significant upgrade.
Only then can a fleet of 100,000 elite ships be deployed.
The appearance of a large white hole also makes it easier for us to find traces of it.
In this way, perhaps the other party will leave some clues. "King Onyne of the Kaguya Elfs had a hint of excitement in his eyes.
It's clear that Onyx, the elf king who seems uninterested in other matters, harbors genuine hostility towards this conqueror civilization.
"Do you need our help?" Zhao Chen asked.
Kaguya Elf King Onyne looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen continued, "No matter how you see me, or how you see the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."
But at least on the issue of this conquering civilization, we are in the same trench.
If we cooperate, we might be able to pinpoint this conqueror civilization more quickly, and we might even join forces to fight it in the future.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, the Kaguya Elf King Onyons didn't stand on ceremony any longer. He said solemnly, "Next, I will personally go to the Mahasman Interstellar Empire and lead a special team with relevant equipment to investigate this matter."
Although our Holy Elf Empire possesses sufficient prestige.
However, considering what happened before, it is highly likely that the Conqueror civilization has planted spies among the high-ranking members of various interstellar civilizations in our universe cluster.
Therefore, I hope that my actions this time can be carried out as discreetly as possible without attracting outside attention.
Therefore, the best solution is to leverage the current intergalactic trade capabilities of your Dragon Star Empire.
Furthermore, the Mahas Star Empire owes your Wyvern Star Empire a debt in this matter.
We will certainly agree to your requests.
Zhao Chen understood what Kaguya Elf King Onyne was thinking.
He thought for a moment and said, "Going through the channels of our Dragon Star Empire will still attract some attention."
Let's do this.
I have connections with the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group. I'll have Huaya Lanlan, the person in charge of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, contact you. You can do so through the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group's channels.
Send you and your team to the Mejas Star Empire.
Furthermore, they possess sufficient capabilities and resources to ensure your work can proceed within the Majas Interstellar Empire.
Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, nodded and agreed to the proposal.
At this moment, the Azure Water Elf Queen Maritis said with concern, "Onyons, you are, after all, the Elf King."
Wouldn't it be too risky for you to investigate this matter yourself?
"Since that conqueror civilization dared to attack the Dragon Emperor, who dares to say they won't do even more insane things?"
In response to the concerns of the Azure Water Elf Queen Maritis, the Kaguya Elf King Onynes calmly said, "My intuition tells me that this is the closest I have ever been to seizing this crucial clue about the conqueror civilization in hundreds of years."
So no matter what, I will investigate.
If they really dare to lay a hand on me, I'd be happy to see it.
The closer they get to me and the more they do, the more clues they leave for me.
As for my identity and my departure from the Holy Elf Empire...
Perhaps you've forgotten.
Among our five Elf Kings, the Kaguya Elf King is specifically responsible for clandestine matters, and she is also the only one with the authority to leave the Holy Elf Empire at any time without prior notification.
Maritis, the Queen of the Azure Waters, was speechless. This was indeed the right of Onyne, the Queen of the Kaguya Elfs.
Like the other Elf Kings, anyone who needed to leave the Holy Elf Empire had to inform the other Elf Kings and obtain permission.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are Elf Kings, the supreme rulers of the Holy Elf Empire.
But at the same time, they are also being watched by countless eyes, and the other Elf Kings will also be watching them.
On the contrary, it leaves people with very little'space to move around'.
If it weren't for the fact that Queen Maritis of the Azure Waters was in charge of diplomacy and trade, she wouldn't have been able to leave the Holy Elf Empire so easily.
Even with this business, the Azure Water Elf Queen Maritis still needs to inform the other Elf Kings of her every trip.
However, because of her identity, people don't pay much attention to her schedule.
Unlike the Emerald Elf King Mansfield, who hasn't left the Holy Elf Empire for countless years.
The high command of the Holy Elf Empire has always paid close attention to his itinerary.
Because he was not only the Elf King, but also the chief scientist of the Holy Elf Empire, possessing mastery of numerous technologies.
Then there's the Flame Elf Queen, who is considered the Grand Marshal of the Holy Elf Empire's army, so naturally she can't act arbitrarily either.
Furthermore, the newly revealed special relationship between her and the Emperor of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has further hampered her actions.
The remaining Radiant Elf King, Gustav, appeared to be old and highly respected.
However, he has also not left the Holy Elf Empire for many years.
The identity of the Elf King is a shackle imposed on them.
At this time.
After this discussion, Zhao Chen and Kaguya Elf King Onyons formed a'small alliance'.
At least that's the case with the conqueror civilization.
What's remarkable is that after the negotiations, the Elf King Onyons of Kaguya specially invited Zhao Chen to stay for dinner.
This is the private courtyard of Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
There is only one house and one small courtyard. The house is not tall, only one story. There are no towering walls around the courtyard, only a layer of green plants about half a person's height as a barrier, defining the space of this courtyard.
When he entered the house, Zhao Chen glanced around briefly.
The overall situation is now clearly visible.
In human terms, it's like a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom apartment.
One of the rooms with the door closed is probably the master bedroom, and the other room with the door half-open reveals a wooden table and some cabinets; this is likely the Elf King's treehouse.
There is also a bathroom and a kitchen.
Zhao Chen and the Azure Water Elf Queen Marytis were in the living room.
This living room also serves as a dining room, and there is an open 'door' on one side of the living room.
This door is special; it's a curtain formed from a plant.
When Zhao Chen walked in, the curtain was still there, and at first glance it looked like a green wall.
But for some unknown reason, the Elf King Onyne activated some kind of mechanism, and the green wall folded inwards to the sides, revealing a door leading to the outer courtyard, allowing the gentle breeze from outside to blow in.
It was only then that Zhao Chen realized that there didn't seem to be many technological items in this room, not even a temperature control system, giving it a very natural feel.
The wooden table in the living room wasn't large; it was square and could seat four people.
Zhao Chen was somewhat surprised when he saw the simple environment.
He knew that some high elves preferred the natural environment and used plant technology in their daily lives.
However, such a natural environment as that of the Elf King Onyne was completely unexpected.
Those who didn't know better might mistake this for an ordinary courtyard belonging to a recluse.
Because there is no trace of technology in this environment, and it is not luxurious at all.
This suggests that the living environment of ordinary elves is probably much better than that of the Kaguya Elf King Onyons.
Previously, I only thought that the Kaguya Elf King Onyne was just cold and aloof.
Now it seems that he really was without desires... except for the hatred he couldn't let go of in his heart.
