After the 1650 ships were raised, the 350 ships seemed to become a small number. But back on the Black Sword, Chen You, who was thinking calmly, found that it was still a big challenge to recruit the remaining ships.

After thinking for a long time and struggling for a long time, he finally sent a call request on the holographic table in the captain's room.

There are some default rules for remote communication within the Gawain Association, for example, when talking to people with more important status, it is best to use the hologram mode, and appearing in front of the other party as if it were a real person is a kind of respect.

The holographic call was quickly accepted, and a corner of the room in front of Chen You appeared in front of him, which was quite arranged in the style of Tibetan rites, and the king of Fusang stood in it, wearing a dark green robe, his face was plain, but his bearing was still peerless.

"Chen You." Zao bowed slightly, "How are you doing?" ”

"I'm fine. There's a lot of stuff to do, try your best to do it. After hesitating for a moment, Chen You still asked, "Is Lily of the Valley okay?" I, as the captain, didn't contact her after that happened—because I really didn't know how to tell her. ”

Zao seemed to sigh softly, "We were all very sad when we learned the news, let alone you.

"This incident is a very big blow to Lily of the Valley, she is still gradually recovering, but she will survive, don't worry."

The bitter water of self-blame rose in his heart again, and Chen You pressed it down: "Your Majesty the King of Zao, this call with you is actually something to ask for......"

Chen You informed Zao of the fact that the evil fleet controlled by the entertainer had set the first target of invasion on Earth, and that he was actively raising a defense fleet.

As the leader of the Tibetan civilization, Fuso Zao had some questions in his mind. The Zangyi civilization is the weaker tier of the second-level civilization, and the number of warships is very limited, even if all of them are combined, it will not exceed the combat power of a hundred mainstream ships, and this meager combat power will still have to keep the Zangyi Star, and it is impossible to join Chen You's Earth Defense Plan. But Chen You contacted him, it seemed that he intended to recruit the defenders, and the king was already a little embarrassed in his heart, but he could only listen quietly to Chen You continue to speak.

“…… I don't know if you've ever heard of the term 'starship finance'," Chen You continued, not seeming to ask Zangyi to send troops, which made Zao breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've heard of it. The captain of the well-known starship in Unai can obtain huge loans from various sources, and the loans can be freely used for various purposes. ”

"Indeed, to tell you the truth, I have just borrowed five billion parliamentary dollars from the Gawain Merchant Alliance Bank - these are turbulent times, and interest rates have risen, but they are still tolerable."

Somewhat surprised, Zao asked, "Why are you borrowing so much money?" ”

Chen You continued to say calmly: "I want to hire a fleet as the last part of the defenders. ”

Zao's heart suddenly brightened, but five billion, for an independent captain, is still a somewhat exaggerated number: "This loan is a lot of pressure, have you already thought about how to repay it?" ”

Chen You shrugged his shoulders lightly: "Please rest assured, before signing up for the loan, I have signed a series of agreements with the Business Alliance, and after the war, I will ride the Black Sword to carry out some paid tasks, or directly complete the bounty task to repay the loan is also a good choice."

"Besides," Chen You stood with his head held high, quite proud, "participating in the gladiatorial tournament can also easily earn bonuses for me - I don't have any pressure to repay the loan." ”

Only then did the king of Fuso remember Chen You's performance in cutting off the brilliant angel in space and fighting Dante on the evil planet - for him, with such strength, money is indeed not a problem.

"I see, it's a way to recruit defenders. Gawain's several mercenaries are all good in combat, and their cooperation is also guaranteed. But how can I help you in this matter? ”

Chen You said respectfully: "You are the head of civilization, and there will be no restrictions from now, so you may not know - only in the name of civilization can you hire a regular fleet." ”

"Understood." Zao nodded, "You want to be able to hire fleets in the name of the Tibetan civilization. ”

"Yes."

With little hesitation, Zao replied, "Yes." You once rescued Lily of the Valley for me, this favor, I have to help no matter what. ”

After such a smooth negotiation, Chen You's heart was full of joy, and he was about to say thanks, but he heard a knock on the door next to the king of Zao.

"It's lily of the valley." After Fuso sensed it with his soul power, he turned around and said, "She hasn't come to me for a long time, I don't know what's going on, so I'll talk to her first." ”

Zao was just about to cut the call, but Chen You hurriedly said, "If you can, let me meet her too." ”

"Absolutely." Zao gave the order with his soul power, and the guards opened the door.

Wearing a slim moonlight dress, Lily of the Valley's short hair has grown to the shoulders, and she is still as beautiful as an elf, but she has lost a lot of weight.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Lily of the valley gave a salute, and in a blink of an eye saw Chen You who was on a holographic call.

"Chen You!"

Chen You, who just wanted to apologize to Lily of the Valley, saw that Lily of the Valley saw him and approached excitedly.

"I've seen Shang Zhengyu!"

Chen You couldn't bear it in his heart, and said gloomily: "Lily of the valley, Zheng Yu is already dead. ”

"No!" Lily of the Valley's expression looked very serious, so serious that Chen Youdu felt a little heartbroken, "He's not dead yet!" ”

Zao can sense the state of Lily of the Valley through her soul power, and now her mind is clear, and there is no magic obstacle in her soul power, it doesn't seem like she is talking nonsense, so she just listens quietly.

Chen You was speechless, his throat moved, and he was still thinking about how to persuade Lily of the Valley to accept the reality, but his ears were buzzing by her words.

"He's in the anti-universe now!"

Anti-Universe!

Lily of the valley would never know that when the soul of Absinthe was assassinated, the ghost energy dagger and the soul power of Absinthe were stirred, causing the ghost energy to go out of control, forming an entrance to the nether world like a green cat pupil.

It's just that the entrance quickly collapsed, and the energy released also completely blew away Shang Zhengyu's body.

Chen You always thought that Shang Zhengyu was dead, but if he shuttled into the anti-universe, it would make sense.

The most important thing is that Lily of the Valley didn't know about the situation that night, and it was impossible for her to casually tell his whereabouts!

"Where is he? How did you meet him? Is he okay? Will he be able to come back?! Chen You's series of questions frightened Lily of the Valley, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, you can talk slowly." ”

"My call with him didn't last long, and it seemed that the conversation through the gap was very physically demanding for him."

Chen You and Fusang Zao both listened quietly to what Lily of the Valley said.
