On April 25, 7,939 in the interstellar calendar, only a few months after entering the Tianhua Star Domain, the Emperor of the Starlight Empire once again led his army to the expedition, officially starting the journey of competing for the hegemony of the Star Sea!

Due to various considerations, Yun Haoyu made some adjustments to the front-line troop allocation after Tian Xuanhao and Guo Qiuxian's headquarters arrived in the Shangyu Galaxy! The defense of the borders of the Yilong Empire was taken over by Tian Xuanhao and Guo Qiuxian, and Yang Wentao's troops were all transferred to the Prison Soul Star Sea to support the alliance of the five major forces and serve His Majesty the Emperor!

The total strength of this expedition to the Prison Soul Star Sea has exceeded four million fleets and nearly three hundred ability legions; There are twenty-four mobile star-fortresses, and all of them are the latest models that have been modified, and they can fully keep up with the marching speed of the main fleet.

After the continuous investment and cultivation of massive resources, the proportion of high-level abilities above the seventh rank in each standard ability legion has reached a staggering twenty percent! You know, even the elite legions of the Gnaslok Empire are only five percent of the percentage! Coupled with the number of holy tiers and the advantage of equipment, the actual combat power is even higher!

Not to mention, there are also a large number of elite legions organized by Cangling, and the Xiao family has also taken out a lot of strength to go out with the army! All in all, the empire's military strength is extremely strong! Even if the Tiroa Empire has already invested in the Hellsoul Star Sea, it may not be the opponent of the Starlight Empire!

On the way, Yun Haoyu also received good news: the Yanyue Organization has officially split! Glistov, the supreme ruler of the Order, and his family have renounced their support for Ulyonov IV, and have instead sent someone to contact him to discuss the relocation of the family to the Starlight Empire. In this regard, Yun Haoyu of course did not refuse to come, and gave an extremely enthusiastic response!

A few days later, the envoy of the Celestian Organization also arrived, and after a detailed discussion with the emperor, although he did not immediately express his position, the envoy had a very good impression of the young monarch, and promised to help him say things for him in front of several supreme leaders when he returned, and try his best to promote the cooperation between the organization and the empire!

In this way, one of the four major super organizations in the human world already has semi-comprehensive support for the empire, and another is also under consideration. The Starlight Empire, which has many advantages, is already confident enough to include at least half of the Prison Soul Star Sea into the empire's territory within the year, thus paving the way for the empire to compete for the hegemony of the Star Sea!

In Feng Lanxi's opinion, the Starlight Empire was born from the Prison Soul Star Sea, rose, and then expanded all the way, until it won the Shuofeng Empire, and then it could be regarded as having the capital to compete for the hegemony of the Star Sea with other powers!

The Shuofeng Empire is located at the northern end of the entire Star Sea World, adjacent to the former Gardley Federation and Xuanluo Federation, rich in products, large population, and strong national power! When the Starlight regime enters the imperial capital, it can use it as a strategic base to plot the hegemony of the entire Star Sea World from north to south!

The goal of this first step is the Hellsoul Star Sea! Although it is located in the hinterland of the human world, due to the containment and obstruction of the surrounding powers, it has not been able to appear a unified and stable country for thousands of years.

The territories directly controlled by these five forces add up to more than two thousand star fields, all of which are the most resource-rich areas in the Prison Soul Star Sea! Together with dozens of medium-sized forces, this temporary alliance could control more than four thousand star fields, accounting for about three-quarters of the entire Hell Soul Star Sea!

In terms of resources, population, and military strength, the alliance is far superior to the Tiloa Empire, but it is an old superpower with unity and stability and a high concentration of power, while the alliance has many political departments, and the leaders of those forces have their own thoughts, and they may not be willing to use their strength! Thinking that once you can't resist it, you will simply abandon your weapons and surrender! Anyway, he is not an important person, and the other party will not kill him!

For this reason, the five bigwigs had to work hard and walk on thin ice carefully! Secretly check all suspicious objects, so as not to be calculated by the Tiroa Empire without even noticing!

The war has continued until now, and on several occasions, the sudden defections of several middle-class forces have almost destroyed the entire alliance! Fortunately, the five bigwigs reacted in time and took decisive measures to prevent the situation from worsening!

However, the league is still losing ground in general! More than 700 resource-rich star fields have been planted with the Empire's Flaming Golden Lion Banner! Emperor Philosis, who had tasted the sweetness, naturally mobilized his troops and generals, striving to completely defeat the alliance on the opposite side as soon as possible, so as to truly grasp this vast cornucopia in his hands!

Fortunately, Yang Wentao had already led the fleet to arrive in the territory of the Seton Federation of the Five Great Forces Alliance more than ten days ago, and the situation would soon be stabilized! Just wait for His Majesty the Emperor's army to arrive, accept the allegiance of the alliance of the five major forces, and then you can unify the deployment of the battle against the empire! ――

Xuanluo Federation, Winelk Star Field.

In the emperor's camp, a military meeting was being held. After several high-ranking generals had spoken, a senior officer in charge of intelligence affairs began to inform the ministers of the changes in the situation inside and outside the empire.

In fact, most of the people present know these things in their hearts, but just seeing where the problem is, does not mean that they can come up with corresponding solutions! After years of conquest, the empire is desperate to not have enough strength to deal with the attack of another superpower! Even with the help of the Bojan people!

Ji Yuxuan sat on the throne, looked at the group of imperial elites below, and sighed secretly.

The war with the Xuanluo Federation has reached the most critical moment, and there are even two high-ranking families within the other party who have begun to secretly send people to contact him to discuss the secret surrender matter! It can be seen that they have indeed reached the point of exhaustion! Just keep going for a few more months and you're done!

At that time, the relieved empire will be able to calmly digest the results of the battle and deploy the next strategic expansion plan at the same time!

However, providence did not favor him! The one from the Starlight Empire made rapid progress, and it only took half a year to take down a superpower! And when the results of the battle were far from being consolidated, they began to mobilize heavy troops on the border between the two countries, made frequent movements, and put on a posture that could attack at any time!

In order to avoid a fire in the backyard, he had to order the same action, transferring a large number of elite regiments to the border between the two countries to guard against a possible attack by the other side! As a result, the offensive against the Federation had to slow down!

However, according to the latest information, the Starlight Empire's next strategic move does not seem to be here, but is eyeing the vast sea of Prison Soul Stars!

This made him a little confused! Yun Haoyu sent a fleet of the same size to the Prison Soul Star Sea, but at the same time, he carried out a large-scale change of guards, and arranged Tian Xuanhao to the border between the two countries.

The civil and military ministers under his command were thus divided into two factions, one faction believed that the main direction of attack of the Starlight Empire was in the Prison Soul Star Sea, and the actions on the border between the two countries were just a bluff, so there was no need to care too much! We should concentrate on destroying the last resistance of the Xuanluo Federation as soon as possible, and take the entire territory of the Federation into our hands, so that we can calmly deal with the Starlight Empire!

But the other faction thinks that Yun Haoyu should be preparing to attack the Yilong Empire! Otherwise, he would not have sent his number one henchman here, and there were more than two million fleets, even if it was acting, the danger to the empire could not be ignored! Once they decide to do the fake show, the pressure on the Yilong Empire will be very great!

Therefore, for the sake of the stability of the rear of the Empire, the offensive against the Federation should be suspended, and the main forces should be transferred to the border between the two countries, and after the attempts of the Starlight Empire are thwarted, continue to deal with the Federation!

The courtiers of the two factions have their own opinions, and they can list a basket of truths to support their views, and they quarrel with each other! In the end, the decision on this matter was handed over to His Majesty the Emperor!

Such a decision is not easy to make, and if you misjudge, the fate of the empire will be changed by it! With the current situation in the Star Sea, if such a strategic mistake is made, there will be no room for remedy!

In desperation, he once asked Yu Xinzhe's opinion, and the famous general's opinion was simple and straightforward: first, Yun Haoyu's real goal was the Prison Soul Star Sea; Second, the Elon Empire should make a truce with the Federation and sign a peace treaty! Then concentrate all the elites and take the initiative to attack the Starlight Empire!

"This emperor, who has just risen for less than a few years, has such a foundation, and has posed a mortal threat to us! We must kill him as soon as possible while we still have the ability to deal with him! Otherwise, the glory of the empire will end in his hands completely! He said to Ji Yuxuan.

The Emperor didn't understand this: "Since his main target is the Prison Soul Star Sea, why should we take the initiative to attack him now?" When the Federation has not yet been resolved, it is not a good thing for the Empire to provoke such a strong enemy and fight on two fronts! ”

Yu Xinzhe persuaded: "Your Majesty, they have calculated this point, and it is expected that we will not dare to start a war on two fronts!" Only then do you dare to lay out so unscrupulously! Let's get the whole federation without any problems! And they can plot against the Prison Soul Star Sea with peace of mind! ”

With the Xuanluo Federation as the center, the east and north are the Barbarian Star Field, and the south and east are the Shalestins Alliance and the Surya Republic, and now they are inseparable from the Gnaslok Empire! Therefore, none of these directions are suitable as the next expansion target of the Yilong Empire! Only the Shuofeng Empire in the west and the Hellsoul Star Sea in the southwest are the most suitable choices!

If the Starlight Empire is allowed to expand and the Prison Soul Star Sea is smoothly incorporated into the empire's territory, it will completely block the development path of the Yilong Empire! Even if you can get the entire Xuanluo Federation, you are already at a strategic disadvantage!

Therefore, Yu Xinzhe proposed to immediately stop the war with the Federation and form an alliance with it, even if it was to return a part of the territory to them! Just convince them to send troops together and attack the Starlight Empire together! In addition, it is necessary to send special envoys to establish relations with the Tiroa Empire, and it is best to form an alliance with each other, and the two sides will advance and retreat together and support each other! to avoid being completely trapped by this powerful opponent in the future!

It's just that the top brass of the empire is generally unwilling to give up the tempting goal of unifying the entire federation! Therefore, Ji Yuxuan finally had to refuse the famous general's reasonable suggestion!

One wrong step, one wrong step! As a result, the Elon Empire lost its last chance to truly rise, and was eliminated early in this unprecedented competition!

(The next one is a little later!) ）
