Zhao Chen is truly going to let Saint Cana leave this time, and the biggest reason for this is naturally the system mission.

This tool has already completed its task, so there's no point in keeping it around.

"Dream on!" Saint Cana glared at Zhao Chen angrily when she heard him ask her to be his secretary.

During this time together, coupled with Zhao Chen saving him and Zhao Chen's astonishing strength, he had come to realize that Zhao Chen had saved him.

Saint Cana's impression of Zhao Chen changed drastically, but their positions remained fundamentally opposed.

She scoffed, "Are you planning to attack the transport fleet between the Holy Radiant Empire and Qin Xiaotian next?"

Among the intelligence we just received was information about this transport fleet; the starport that was attacked earlier was just one of them.

"Yes.

"What, are you trying to stop me?" Zhao Chen looked at Saint Cana teasingly.

"I didn't care about our empire's cooperation with Qin Xiaotian before, but after learning that Qin Xiaotian actually controls such terrifying creatures as the interstellar insect race and is even researching related technologies..."

My beliefs forbid my empire from cooperating with people like that.

So, you can destroy it if you want, I won't care.

but......"

Saint Cana squinted at Zhao Chen: "You two are still enemies. The next time I meet you on the battlefield, my Holy Angel Legion will definitely..."

Saint Cana had the words on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't finish them.

Because of these words, she herself was now somewhat skeptical.

"Anyway, if you end up in my hands, I'll let you off the hook because you saved me once."

"I could make you my secretary."

After saying that, Saint Cana looked at Zhao Chen provocatively.

The implication was simply that they could then properly torment Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen shrugged, ignoring the woman's impossible dream.

"I'll take you back to Star City first. You can try to contact your family and bring you back."

Now that the Holy Lance Corps has been completely annihilated, as for the Qian family... they will soon follow in their footsteps.

You will be safe in Star City.

However, let me remind you of something.

The situation in your empire is very complicated right now.

The fact that your Empire has mastered that Zerg technology will only cause internal strife within your Empire.

"Be careful, you might set yourself on fire," Zhao Chen warned.

"Given our positions, shouldn't you be hoping for something like this to happen?" Saint Cana said with a light laugh.

Zhao Chen looked out at the universe through the porthole: "To be honest, I don't want to fight any interstellar wars. I just hope that I and the people I protect can live a free, happy, and prosperous life."

But it's clear that your Holy Radiant Empire won't allow us to do that, which is why we have different positions.

To be honest, if your Holy Radiant Empire abandons its plans against the Starry Empire, there's still hope we can become friends.

Zhao Chen meant it sincerely.

Zhao Chen has never had any ambition to dominate; he only cares about his own little territory and the ability to protect himself.

Unfortunately, the things Zhao Chen possessed attracted the covetous eyes of some unscrupulous people, which forced Zhao Chen to gradually reach his current state.

Saint Cana was somewhat stunned by Zhao Chen's words.

A long time ago, she glanced at Zhao Chen and silently left the bridge. She needed to inform her subordinates about the preparations for leaving, as well as contact her family and make arrangements for staying in Star City.

Meanwhile, the JF-17 Thunder Legion also completed its preparations during this period.

Zhao Chen immediately split his forces into two groups.

The Second Legion of the Falcon Dragon was tasked with attacking the interstellar transport fleet of the Holy Radiant Empire, while the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon followed Zhao Chen to attack all of the Qian family's territorial planets.

Zhao Chen promised Chu Xuan that he would settle accounts with the Qian family, and this debt must be settled properly.

At the same time, this is also to sever a bridge between the Holy Glory Empire and Qin Xiaotian.

The destruction of the Qian family will inevitably affect the cooperative relationship between the Holy Glory Empire and Qin Xiaotian.

Perhaps the two sides will find another force to act as a bridge, but that will take time.

This gained time is enough for Zhao Chen to get a lot done.

More than ten hours later.

"Commander, Qian Feng, the head of the Qian family, has led the Qian family members and the remaining interstellar warships to escape from the Qian family's main star system!" Chu Xuan reported to Zhao Chen.

"They escaped? Did they think they could get away?" Zhao Chen sneered.

Chu Xuan said solemnly, "The remnants of the Qian family have fled to Star City. The First Legion of the Falcon Dragon tried to intercept them, but based on the current situation..."

It would be difficult to completely intercept the remnants of the Qian family before they entered Star City.

Currently, only a small number of star cruisers and star battlecruisers are relentlessly pursuing them.

Star City.

No wonder Chu Xuan reported this to me. If we could intercept it, Chu Xuan would have directly ordered the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon to do it.

But when it comes to Star City, it's a different story.

Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Commander, I think we should destroy all the industrial facilities in all the star systems within the Qian family's territory and take everything we can."

Take all those slaves away, leaving none for the Qian family.

This can be considered to have destroyed the foundation of the Qian family. It will take an unknown amount of time for the Qian family to restore its former prosperity.

We've achieved our goal.

Faced with the City of Stars, Chu Xuan still chose to back down.

After all, Star City represents the Star Alliance, and the Qian family hid in Star City because of this connection with the Star Alliance.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, a mocking smile on his face: "You actually hid in Star City?"

"Then we really need to thank this Patriarch Qian Feng. I was just about to doze off, and he brought me a pillow."

Chu Xuan looked at the commander with a puzzled expression, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

"Chu Xuan, I have a bad habit."

"Those I say I want to annihilate, then they must die!" Zhao Chen squinted, then decisively issued the order: "Pass on my order: the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon will proceed directly to Star City."

Chu Xuan looked at the commander in surprise. Was the commander going to directly slap the Star Alliance in the face?

That price is far too high.

If we break ties with the Star Alliance, then...

"Don't worry, we won't pay any price," Zhao Chen said calmly.

Chu Xuan swallowed hard, composed herself, and carried out the commander's orders.

In this way, the three thousand interstellar warships of the First Legion of the Dragon Fleet headed towards Star City in a mighty procession.

At this moment, the Qian family fleet is fleeing towards Star City.

Patriarch Qian Feng watched as the distance on the star map grew ever closer, and the Xiaolong Legion fleet relentlessly pursued them from behind.

He clenched his fists and reassured the Qian family members around him: "Don't be afraid! As long as we escape to Star City, the Dragon Legion won't dare to do anything to us."

As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood!
