In the next few days, the Star Alliance fleet set off towards the nearby star fields of the Reims system, and went to various systems to surrender and take over these territories, and of course, with it, they were responsible for clearing the herds of beasts that were causing chaos in these places.

Originally, there were only about a thousand warships that came out of the Star Federation this time, and the strength was not strong, and it was okay to capture a galaxy with weak defenses, but it was actually a little difficult to occupy such a large star field, not to mention that there were so many beasts.

However, at this moment, the imperial defenders of the nearby galaxy have already chosen to surrender, and with Chen Chen's help, everything is not a problem.

Although there are a lot of these beast groups, their strength is very average, and Chen Chen has no interest in making a move, just sending thousands of deep cold to fight with the Star Alliance fleet, and easily repelling all the several beast groups nearby.

And these ironclad beasts seem to have come out to make trouble, and they didn't intend to use these places as territories, so they quickly withdrew after being attacked and paid a certain amount of losses, and they didn't dwell too much.

In this way, Starlink did not spend too much energy to take all the nearby star fields.

So far, this operation, the Star Federation has not only taken the main target Lance system, but also occupied a large number of nearby star fields, and the area under its control has included five galaxies, dozens of inhabited planets and resource planets, and obtained a large number of resources and population, which can be described as a brilliant victory.

Next, it is time to digest the fruits of victory.

Not to mention the problem of integrating the resources of the existing territory, the huge number of captives alone is enough to cause headaches.

For this reason, Edgar specially approached Chen Chen, on the one hand, to express his gratitude, and on the other hand, to make Starlink's affairs transparent by discussing the follow-up plan, and to show sincerity in this way.

Chen Chen didn't refuse, and before dealing with that matter, he also wanted to know about the current situation within the Babylonian Empire.

Therefore, the two went together to meet with several surrendered officers.

On the way, Edgar first talked about his next step: "After the battle of the Terro Star Cluster, our strength has suffered a huge loss, and the fleet in our hands is not much, and only about 1,000 warships have been sent this time, so I have canceled the future battle plan and plan to suspend the attack. ”

"Very wise!" Chen Chen nodded in approval: "With your current strength, it is not easy to control so many territories at once, so it will take a lot of time to digest the fruits of victory. ”

"Yes, now that you have obtained so many territories and resources, it is time to stop and rest and replenish." With Chen Chen's approval, Edgar also settled down: "The most important thing now is to rely on these resources to expand the military strength, and when the strength develops, then consider the matter of attacking the Babylon Empire, for now, it is better to put it aside for the time being." ”

"Not necessarily." Chen Chen smiled faintly and shook his head easily: "Don't forget what I said before, the domino effect, the first card is down, and the back is to follow the trend, sometimes, victory does not necessarily need to be achieved entirely by military action." ”

"You mean to negotiate directly with the top brass of the Babylonian Empire?" Edgar was slightly stunned: "The situation is not completely clear at this time, they may not accept our conditions, and negotiations must always be based on military superiority." ”

"It's not that you have to take the initiative to negotiate, at any time, the party who takes the initiative to negotiate usually has to take a step back, so they have to take the initiative to come to you and ask for negotiations, so as to obtain the greatest benefits." Chen Chen shook his head slightly, a strange color flashed in his eyes: "I thought of another possibility. ”

"Another possibility?" Edgar was stunned again, not understanding what Chen Chen was referring to.

At this time, the two had already arrived at the prisoner of war camp, temporarily suspended the conversation, and walked into the interrogation room together and sat down.

After a short time, the soldiers walked in with a few Babylonian imperial officials, and after arranging for them to sit down opposite the two, they immediately lined up on the sides of several officers, and carried out all possible changes they could.

These officers were the former Supreme Commanders who were in charge of garrisoning several nearby galaxies.

Edgar and Chen Chen glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and the conversation began.

Noticing that several officers were a little uneasy, as if they were worried, Edgar smiled kindly at the moment, and said with a pleasant expression: "Don't be so nervous, you took the initiative to follow the general trend, chose to change banners, and avoided the deaths and injuries of soldiers on both sides, this is a great achievement, after our investigation, several of you and your soldiers have not killed slaves and civilians in the jurisdiction in the past, so we will not embarrass you too much." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Hearing Edgar say this, several officers were obviously relieved: "Actually, we also have a lot of dissatisfaction with some of the military's actions, but the internal system of the empire is very strong, and we really can't help ourselves. ”

"We can understand all of this!" Edgar smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, you treat your slaves well, and this time you take the initiative to surrender, we will definitely deal with it as appropriate." ”

"Starlink is really righteous!" After receiving this assurance, several officers also sighed with emotion: "No wonder you won in the end, the empire lost the hearts of the people, in fact, you should have known that defeat is inevitable." ”

"We did not raise our troops for ambition and plunder, but for the sake of the brutal Babylonian dynasty, not only to save ourselves, but also to save thousands of Babylonians." At this time, Edgar naturally picked up the good words and said: "If more Babylonians take the initiative to give up the fight like a few others, I believe that peace will come sooner." ”

"Your Excellency the Chairman of the Board of Directors, this is really something we are extremely ashamed of!" Several officers glanced at each other and said, "Your Excellency is looking for us this time, I don't know what you have to say?" If there is anything we can do, we must do what we can. ”

"Actually, it's nothing." Edgar waved his hand to signal that a few people were at ease, and then asked: "The main thing is to understand the current situation within the Babylonian Empire. ”

"The situation?" Several people glanced at each other and smiled wryly at the same time: "What else can be the situation?" Marshal Auden is dead, His Majesty has been heard from again, and the empire has fallen into chaos. ”

"In the royal family, several princes only care about fighting for power and profit, a group of ministers are also taking the opportunity to expropriate and extort, and the high-level and middle-level officers are leaderless to take care of themselves to protect themselves, as for those of us below, we don't know what to do at all."

"No one can step up and preside over the big picture?" Hearing this, Edgar couldn't help but be stunned.

"Who can there be?" Several officers shook their heads with a wry smile: "The king thinks that the galaxy is invincible, and his longevity is the same as that of the moon, and he has always held great power, so he has never thought about what to do in such a situation, maybe he thinks that such a situation will not occur at all!" And the people within the empire are also accustomed to looking at the first place, and no one will think about what to do if he is not there one day. ”

Hearing this explanation, Edgar and Chen Chen glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

Things are already very clear!

Sure enough, the Nether King never considered a contingency plan, never named a temporary replacement in his absence, or even an heir.

In the past, he has always been a monopoly on power, perhaps he thinks that he is outstanding and will not be threatened by anything, and his lifespan is thousands of years, and his rule is naturally thousands of generations.

This time this situation suddenly appeared, he was hit hard and could not return to the empire, and the empire would inevitably fall into chaos, and it was inevitable that they would fight for power and profit.

And people at the bottom, like the few officers in front of them, have no idea what to do, they can't see hope or the future, and they have witnessed the collapse of the huge political system one by one.

The dissatisfaction accumulated in the past naturally completely erupted at this moment, just when the Star Alliance army came, and there was another beast riot, they no longer had any choice but to turn their backs.

"The bigger the thing, the more violent it will be when it collapses!" Chen Chen said this sentence coldly, which actually represented the real situation of the current Babylonian Empire.

Hearing this, several officers could only sigh.

"It's pretty much understood." At this time, Chen Chen thought of another thing, turned his head to look at a few officers, and said, "There is one thing that needs to be done by a few of you, and this is a thing that is beneficial to all the citizens of the Babylon Empire." ”

"What's the matter?" Several officers couldn't help but be curious.

"I believe that there are many people like you in the Babylonian Empire, who also have the same thoughts as you in their hearts." Chen Chen's fingers tapped the armrest rhythmically, and Zhengse said: "I want to let you go, and let you go to various galaxies, find people you knew before and can rely on, and persuade them to let them also give up meaningless resistance, and turn against each other like you!" In this case, I believe that the war will end soon, and both the Star Alliance and the Babylonian Empire will be able to avoid unnecessary casualties! ”

Hearing this, several officers couldn't help but fall silent.

And Edgar on the side looked at Chen Chen like a monster.

It turned out that the "other possibility" he mentioned before actually meant this matter, releasing the prisoners of war in his hands, and letting them influence more Babylonians to surrender, and so on and again, like a spark on fire, quickly bringing down the Babylonian Empire.

Domino effect!

As long as the first card falls, the latter will follow the trend, find the right focus, and you can surrender without a fight!

This kid, at the moment when these people surrendered, he had already expected these things in the future, and the Babylonian Empire, which was once like a behemoth, could not escape his calculations in the end, and it was effortless to destroy it like a withering and decaying one.

Judging by this posture, it will not be long before the Babylonian Empire does not surrender. (To be continued.) )
