"Reporting to the Commander, all warships of the First Legion of the JF-17 Thunder have completed their jump."

We are now on high alert. Please give us your instructions!

Lilith, acting commander of the First Legion of the Falcon.

"Reporting to the Commander, all warships of the Second Legion of the JF-17 Thunder have completed their jump."

We are now on high alert. Please give us your instructions!

Red Eyes, Commander of the Second Legion of the Falcon Dragon.

Images of Lilith, the secretary, and Commander Akame appeared before Zhao Chen.

That's right!

This is the source of Zhao Chen's confidence to pursue them all the way to the border of the Holy Glory Empire.

You could also say he was a special guest at this 'performance'.

Saint Cana, standing to the side, looked on in surprise. She had heard that the Dragon Legion possessed the technology to carry a legion fleet through interstellar travel, but witnessing it in person was still quite awe-inspiring!

"Prepare for battle! And do not allow any Holy Lance Legion starships to pass!" Zhao Chen ordered.

"yes!"

Two JF-17 Dragon Legions, six thousand interstellar warships.

At this moment, it stood like an insurmountable chasm before the Holy Lance Corps.

Commander Heller was devastated. He hadn't expected that after all his hard-won escape, the Holy Lancer Legion would only have three interstellar warships left.

Just when he was about to escape the tiger's den, who would have thought that so many Xiaolong-class interstellar warships would appear in front of him!

This is equivalent to pushing him, who had finally climbed to the top of the well, back into the abyss.

"Sir, save me! Save me!" Commander Heller looked at a video window beside him and pleaded.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." A steady male voice came through the video, and then the video window closed.

And a few seconds later.

Zhao Chen received a communication request from the Supreme Commander of the Southern Sacred Fleet Group.

Zhao Chen was somewhat surprised to see these words.

Because the supreme commander of the Southern Sacred Fleet Group is actually the Southern Star Region Governor!

"Would you like to step aside?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at Saint Cana behind him.

Saint Cana said calmly, "No need."

This stubborn girl.

She appeared on her own bridge with this identity, and she had almost wiped out the entire Holy Lancer Legion.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Actually... even if Saint Cana didn't show up, the various previous reports and information about her contact with Zhao Chen couldn't be kept secret.

However, I didn't expect Saint Cana to be so 'frank'.

Since Saint Cana didn't care, Zhao Chen didn't mind either, and simply clicked "agree".

Then, an image of a man sitting on a captain's chair made of some kind of pure white jade appeared before Zhao [N O V E L I G H T] Chen's eyes.

The two stared at each other for ten seconds, neither of them speaking first.

The other party also saw Saint Cana's presence, but seemed to ignore it.

"Yay! Commander, I blasted another one! I blasted it right through the back of that warship, and the bow came out—it was a spectacular sight!"

This atmosphere was broken by a discordant sound from outside the frame.

The governor opposite him clearly looked displeased: "Your Excellency, could you please cease the attack by your warships?"

"If you tell me to stop, I will stop."

"Wouldn't I lose face?" Zhao Chen said with a light laugh.

The governor stared at Zhao Chen: "I also know about the holy war duel between the Dragon Legion and the Holy Angel Legion."

I have great respect for Your Excellency's Dragon Legion.

"I hope that for the sake of friendly relations between our two empires, you will temporarily suspend the fighting. Any misunderstandings can be resolved by sitting down and discussing them."

"Let me take out these last two interstellar warships first, and then we can talk slowly."

"Or, you can talk to my fleet." Zhao Chen's tone even carried a hint of provocation.

The governor took a deep breath, seemingly provoked by the other party's tone.

His gaze turned icy: "Your Excellency, I currently have twenty legions of the Southern Holy Fleet Group, totaling 60,000 interstellar warships, gathered here."

I don't want anything bad to happen here!

The language itself carries a sense of intimidation.

"Sixty thousand interstellar warships?" Zhao Chen counted on his fingers: "Just now, I annihilated the Holy Lance Legion with less than a hundred interstellar warships."

So tell me, if I have six thousand interstellar warships now, can I annihilate all sixty thousand of your interstellar warships?

"How about giving it a try?"

madman!

madman!

This guy is a madman.

Saint Cana gasped inwardly, she hadn't expected Zhao Chen to be so conciliatory; he was practically stirring things up!

However, it must be said that his threats were also very intimidating.

Because the Holy Lance Corps was indeed annihilated by less than a hundred Dragon-class interstellar warships.

This is true!

Even if the Holy Lance Legion is weak, it is still one of the Holy Light Legions, and its quality exceeds that of a regular Holy Fleet!

Six thousand JF-17 Dragon interstellar warships against sixty thousand Holy Radiance interstellar warships.

I really can't guarantee what the outcome will be.

"Hahaha, another one taken down!"

Now let's see who protects you, you bastard!

Xue Xiaoxiao's voice came again.

"Your Excellency, is this a declaration of war against the Holy Radiant Empire? Isn't this going a bit too far?" the governor said in a deep voice.

"This is outrageous!"

The Holy Lance Corps has gone too far!

The Holy Lance Corps has four major sins!

Its first crime: The Holy Lance Corps sent assassins to attack me in Star City.

His second crime: He colluded with the Qian family to plunder my people in the Chuhe Star Region of the Xingyao Empire, imprisoning and oppressing them as slaves. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Their third crime: When our side organized a fleet to rescue the trapped citizens, the Holy Lance Corps deliberately obstructed us with its own fleet!

The fourth crime: I discovered that the Holy Lance Legion was engaged in military trade smuggling with the Starshine Empire rebels!

Therefore, the Holy Lance Corps has brought this upon itself, and I will surely destroy it!

"No one's words matter!" Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and recounted all the crimes of the Holy Lance Corps.

Saint Cana looked at Zhao Chen with a strange expression. This guy... what he said actually made some sense.

But upon closer listening, it's pure sophistry!

The first offense is that he claimed Star City attacked him, but the target of the attack was clearly Saint Cana; Zhao Chen was just caught in the crossfire.

The problem is that the other side cannot admit to attacking Saint Cana. After all, if word got out that they had assassinated their own legion commander, and that the Holy Light Legion at that, it would undoubtedly be a scandal!

The second charge does have some merit.

The third and fourth crimes were preemptive strikes, labeling Qin Xiaotian and his group as rebels.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chen's words focused on the Holy Lance Corps' responsibility, without reprimanding the Holy Radiant Empire at all.

That's the beauty of it.

Zhao Chen seemed to be breaking ties with the other party, but he left a loophole.

At this moment, the governor had only two choices.

Either he could openly break ties with Zhao Chen and fight him, but even if he won, the losses would be significant, and what if he lost...

Alternatively, one could swallow their anger and take the opportunity to climb down the ladder Zhao Chen had provided.

Saint Cana realized that Zhao Chen was gambling!

But Saint Cana didn't understand what gave Zhao Chen the confidence to bet that the Southern Sacred Fleet wouldn't dare to attack him.

“Your Excellency, everything I’ve said is based on solid evidence.”

"Would you like to take a look?" Zhao Chen looked at the other person with a mocking expression.
