In a secret conference room. The five bigwigs sat together again and exchanged views on the situation in the Star Sea in the recent period!

Wilbert was the first to speak: "Everyone! You all know the movement on Ximeng Xingyuan's side, right? What should you do next, you might as well talk freely! ”

The army of the Tyroan Empire he spoke of suddenly suspended all military operations, and the whole army shrank its defensive line, and there was nothing to hide.

Of course, this is by no means the sympathy of Emperor Philosis for the soldiers, but a more feasible breakthrough plan! Only then did all the regular forces withdraw from the battlefield.

According to the news secretly transmitted by the spies sent by several forces, the empire secretly sent several groups of special engineering ships, and they were escorted by a large number of experts with special abilities. I don't know what kind of killer moves I'm planning!

De Veria said: "Maybe they have recently come up with some powerful means, and they plan to move out and experiment with it, maybe they can make a safe passage!" ”

"It's possible!" Baudelaire nodded in agreement, "However, I believe it was the Cham Shadow Clan!" Those mercenary volleyballs, out of nowhere, have suddenly come running to sell us those powerful weapons and equipment! In the past, they would never have sold these weapons in large quantities that could hurt them! ”

Xia Qiying said: "Since they can sell things to us, of course they can also trade with other forces!" As long as you can make money, it's not surprising! ”

Defray said with some annoyance: "A few days ago, we were still happy that we had a batch of powerful equipment! I thought that this time I could better consolidate the defensive line, and I could even consider taking the initiative! But if the Empire gets the same thing, then we still can't take it lightly! Hey! These shrewd guys! ”

Xia Qiying sighed: "This is the shrewdness of that group of volleyballs!" Both warring sides paid a huge amount of source crystals to buy their equipment, but in the end, they found that the strategic balance of power between the two sides had not changed in the slightest! The only ones who benefited were the guys who counted the money and had cramps! ”

"Emperor Philosis doesn't know how much he paid in exchange for some of the technology of the Zhanying Clan to open up a safe corridor in the Ximeng Star Abyss!"

Duveria asked, "So what now?" Do you let them mess around? ”

Xia Qiying shook her head: "Of course not!" The Empire will not get its way! In fact, the volleyball team cares more about the safety of this defense line than we do! ”

"What do you mean......" Wilbert asked, as if he had guessed a little why, in an uncertain tone.

"Let's get enough source crystals, everyone!" She smiled wryly, "This group of volleyballs will soon be sold to us, some technology and equipment that can curb the Empire's actions!" ”

"This group of ** raised!" Baudelaire finally understood, and scolded angrily!

The Zhanying clan is not very interested in territory, and they have no intention of asking about the regime change in the human world, their biggest pursuit is Yuanjing! Playing a balance between several forces is just about making as much profit as possible!

It's as if this time, in order to curb the ambitions of the empire, the five major forces will have to feed them with a large amount of source crystals again!

Then, when the empire finds that it still can't achieve its goal, another volleyball will run away and continue to sell them something new, fooling them into paying for it again!

And so on and so forth! Until the oil and water on both sides are squeezed dry! But nothing will change! And this group of cunning volleyballs is hiding in their lair, counting money while laughing at stupid humans!

And, even if you see their insidious intentions, there's nothing you can do! Only obediently pay for it! Otherwise, you wait for the defenses to be breached, and the army of the Empire rushes over and steals everything you have!

"Perhaps, we can try to talk to the old emperor!" "He's not stupid," Wilbert suggested, "and he should know that it doesn't do anyone any good to spend like this!" Except for the cheap bunch of aliens! ”

"You can try it!" De Vlay was helpless.

This method, not to mention seeking skin with the tiger, is actually not far away, no matter what, Emperor Philosis wants the entire Prison Soul Star Sea! For this reason, he will do whatever it takes, even if he knows that the volleyball players have bad intentions, he is unlikely to give up easily!

Several people were silent for a while, and Wilbert said again: "Okay! Let's put this aside for the time being, and let's talk about the kingdom to the east! ”

"You mean Starlight Kingdom?" Baudelaire asked, puzzled, "Isn't the Empress already killed?" The Shuofeng Empire has changed, and it is said that the new ruling queen mother has a very unfriendly attitude towards them! This kingdom is no longer dangerous to us! ”

Wilbert said, "That's right! The situation in that superpower is now very unstable, and the newly acquired southern Xinjiang region is in fact in a state of division! There is not much threat to the Hellsoul Star Sea anymore! ”

But that's not the point! That Starlight Kingdom doesn't seem to have declined because of the loss of reinforcements! On the contrary, the young Majesty still leads his fleet to battle! In a few months, more than fifty star fields were taken! ”

"Not long ago, his fleet has been assembled on the western border of the kingdom, and it seems that there is a tendency to come to our side!"

De Vlay was a little unimpressed: "As long as he doesn't have the support of that big country behind him, we don't have to be afraid of him!" Even if he wanted to expand his territory? Can a kingdom with shallow roots be compared to us? ”

The western border of the Starlight Kingdom is dotted with dozens of small and medium-sized forces; Further west are more than twenty major forces with an area of more than fifty star domains, and to the west of these major forces is the territory of the alliance of the five major forces!

In terms of distance, the Starlight Kingdom is still more than 100,000 light years away from them! It won't be a threat to them at all!

The reason why the previous alliance of the five major forces was wary of this country that had only been established recently was mainly because of the power of the Shuofeng Empire! Now that the marriage has been canceled, the throne has changed hands, and the kingdom has no backer, no matter how hard it jumps, it can't change its shallow foundation and weak national strength!

No matter how much territory that country lord grabs, it is impossible to create a strong country that poses a sufficient threat to them in the short term! This is the unanimous opinion of several of you on the Starlight Kingdom!

Duveria said, "Your Excellency Wilbert, I think you're a little too worried! Although the Starlight Kingdom has been in the limelight lately, it is not enough to pose a threat to us! If you want to become a strong country, it is not enough to have territory! Resources, population, technology, industrial base, military power, etc., there are so many things that are needed! And none of this is a problem that can be solved in the short term! ”

"What if he doubles the size of the country? Those poor and backward places, although they have more populations, are all inferior people who have not done some first-level genetic optimization! The resources are sufficient, but the related mining and smelting industries are extremely backward, and there is almost no foundation, and it is a burden for him to get it! ”

"These territories, if they are given to the Shuofeng Empire, which has a strong industrial base, will have significant benefits for the improvement of national strength! But for this impoverished kingdom, for a long time, it will only become a burden for them! It doesn't play a role in strength bonus at all! ”

Xia Qiying said: "With such a vast territory, at least enough strategic maneuver space can be added, right?" ”

"That's the benefit!" Baudelaire nodded, "But for a country that has just been established, unless he has a lot of money and technical foreign aid, don't want to develop it in the short term!" That lord of the kingdom is so reckless, one day he will exhaust his already modest family wealth! Eventually lead to the bankruptcy of the country! ”

Wilbert sighed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with your point of view, which shows the greatest weakness of a nascent regime!" That's what I thought before! But now I realize that we were all wrong! ”

"The hole cards of this nascent kingdom are not just the support of the Shuofeng Empire! It was able to rise so fast, and there was a credit to that Cangling organization! ”

"What?" All four of you have changed their faces!

Wilbert took out a large-capacity chip, embedded it in the light brain on the table, and then said:

"This is some information that I have secretly sent out recently to collect from the territory of the Starlight Kingdom! Let's take a look, everybody! ”

In the huge three-dimensional image, the recent situation of the major star fields in the kingdom is presented!

The footage is incoherent and is spliced together by multiple videos, but it can also be seen that the development of this kingdom is far from what they thought it was!

Cities, mines, energy bases, large industrial areas...... Almost every star field, every ecological planet, there are countless large-scale projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood are under construction! Many of these projects have been completed and are starting to operate normally!

And it can be seen that the technical level of these projects is first-class! A large number of automated machinery and equipment are also extremely advanced models! Some equipment may not even be available on the territory of these five major forces!

But that's not the most surprising part! Those frighteningly large military bases, giant spaceports under construction in synchronous orbits of major administrative planets, and super military fortresses that are under construction near the mouth of wormholes! It all sends chills down their hearts!

Defray let out a long breath: "Oh my God! Is this the atmosphere that a newly established kingdom can have? With so many projects, how many source crystals do you have to burn! ”

"If you want to say that these images were obtained from the territory of some superpower, I will not doubt it!" Baudelaire smiled wryly.

"These are just some of the information gathered from public sources!" Wilbert said in a deep voice, "Their security department is very tightly guarded, and my people don't dare to make too big a move!" But it is conceivable that there are still many terrible things that we do not know where our eyes cannot reach! ”

Xia Qiying said: "It seems that this kingdom is far from being as simple as we imagined! After losing the support of the Shuofeng Empire, there are still such abundant financial and material resources to carry out such large-scale construction! It can be seen that in addition to the support of the Cangling organization, there must be other powerful hole cards! ”

In this way, the problem is serious! The sense of danger brought to them by the Starlight Kingdom, which is not bad for money, has been raised by several levels! It's even close to the last time the Empress of the Shuofeng Empire visited!

If the young lord continues to expand endlessly, one day it will be difficult to control and fight all the way to their doorstep!

What to do?

There was a long silence in the conference room!

In the end, Xia Qiying spoke: "Everyone! I have a proposal, I don't know if it's feasible! ”

"Tell me about it!" Everyone was in good spirits and immediately asked in unison.

"In the current situation, blind containment is no longer a feasible solution! Those small and medium-sized forces can't stop their offensive at all, and those big forces that are not far from him, most of the troops are now guarding the defense line together, and they really can't spare much strength to fight with him! Xia Qiying analyzed, "Therefore, there is only one way left, forming an alliance!" We sent messengers to negotiate with him and explain to him what was at stake! Let him do it in moderation! ”

"Will he listen to us?" Wilbert was not hopeful about the proposal.

Xia Qiying said: "As long as he is willing to agree!" We will throw all the more than 30 small and medium-sized forces that can't be on the table to him! In total, there are hundreds of star fields! You should be able to feed him, right? ”

"What if he is not satisfied?" Defray asked.

"Then we'll let him understand that if it's because of him, the defense line will collapse! The army of the Tyroa Empire rushed in! Everyone has to be finished, and no one can run! Xia Qiying said coldly, "As long as he still has a little bit of IQ, he won't fail to see this!" ”

Several people thought about it for a while, but there was no better way, and finally agreed to give it a try according to her idea! ——

The Court of the Shadow of Cham.

"So to speak! Has the Kotila tribe been destroyed? ”

On the tall throne, the round body of the Zhan Ying King trembled slightly, and the golden clouds of light filled the surroundings, and the golden magnetic field vibrated rapidly, showing that its mood at the moment was extremely uncalm!

"Great Your Majesty!" An elder respectfully said, "After a long period of secret investigation, the clansmen we sent out can basically confirm the authenticity of this news!" ”

"The Sea of Stars has been attacked by unknown forces, and the two Brilliant God Kings, including the Patriarch of Kotila, and a large number of strong people have all been killed! Not a single one survived! ”

"Can you find out what forces are doing it? Miliam? Or the Yanwei Tribal Alliance? Or maybe it's the Pojang Empire? King Zhan Ying asked coldly.

"Unfortunately, it's neither!" The elder replied, "We asked some of the Kotila tribesmen who were traveling at the time of the incident, and they don't know what happened!" But one thing is certain, that is, their tribe did not have a conflict with these civilizations before the accident! ”

"I have met the emissaries of these civilizations individually, and they have all assured that there will be absolutely no hostilities against our people! According to past history, such examples are almost non-existent! So you can be sure that their words are credible! ”

"Could it be a human hand?" Another elder asked.

"Humans? Do they have the strength? The elder who spoke earlier said disdainfully, "Not to mention that they don't have a strong person who can fight against the Gloomy God King at all, even the location of the Sea of Stars, with their skills, it is impossible to find it!" ”

"Could it be that there is still a civilization that we don't know about intervening in the strife in the Star Sea World?" King Zhan Ying asked slowly.

"When it first appeared, it wiped out a large tribe of our people! And do it quietly! What do they mean by that? Demonstrations? ”

Sensing the anger hidden in its words, several elders did not dare to say anything!

"Alright! Since conventional means can't find out! Then turn on our artifact 'Celestial Dial'! Turn back time! See what it is! Dare to challenge the dignity of the ancient and noble Zhanying clan! King Zhan Ying announced.

"But! Great Your Majesty! One of the elders said tremblingly, "Activating the 'Celestial Dial' requires an unimaginable consumption of life energy!" There will be a lot of damage to His Majesty's strength! Why don't we do it for you? ”

King Zhan Ying pondered for a moment and said, "In that case! Let's have all the elders above the fifteenth rank participate in the opening ceremony! On average, the loss is not unacceptable! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise! ”
