After calling Barnes, Shen Chengwen left. Lin Feng didn't stay, because it was best not to let the third person know about what Yang Yi was going to talk to Barnes.

"What, you fell out with the Star Soul Empress?"

"Not yet." Yang Yi smiled faintly and invited Barnes to sit down. "Your Highness must remember that before forming an alliance with the Weavers, we pinned all our hopes on the Hidden Spirits. At that time, I also traveled to the Hidden Spirit Star as an envoy of the Human Federation to enlist your support and assistance. ”

Barnes was slightly stunned, and then said, "It's all in the past, don't mention it." ”

"Your Highness, I am not accusing the Hidden Spirit Clan when I bring up the old matter, after all, it has passed, and there is no point in accusing it. I just want Your Highness to understand that for the past thousand years, the Hidden Spirit Race has been an ally of the Human Federation, and even the only backer of the Human Federation. It's a pity that this relationship didn't survive. Let's not talk about the responsibility for the time being, I just hope that Your Highness can put yourself in your shoes. The Silicon Charm army has reached the doorstep of the Human Federation, and we have hopefully begged the Hidden Spirit Clan to send troops, but we have received that result. In order to survive, to defend our homeland, to repel the invading enemy, we have no choice, no matter what civilization it is, as long as it is willing to send troops to support the Human Federation, it is our ally. It was at this time that the Weavers stepped forward. If this happened to His Highness, what choice would he make? ”

Barnes didn't speak, but he kept listening, and he listened attentively.

"Of course, what happened to me in the Hidden Spirit Star may be repeated one day in the future, but the protagonist is not the Hidden Spirit Clan, but the Star Weaver Clan."

Barnes was slightly stunned, looking surprised. It's also very puzzling.

"It's very simple, the Planet Weaver Clan is also a top-level civilization, while the Human Federation is a very inconspicuous low-level civilization." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Maybe my personal friendship with the Star Soul Empress is unbreakable, but I'm just a small soldier. The Star Soul Empress can't be the Empress of the Star Weaver Clan forever. What if one day in the future, when this prediction becomes a reality? ”

"You're thinking too long, aren't you?"

Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The Human Federation has been able to survive five wars, and the more wars are fought, the stronger it becomes, precisely because we have a serious sense of crisis at any time and are thinking about the future at any time. Although I was only a small soldier, I thought of this possibility when I met the Star Soul Empress. Even if I can't change anything. I will also do my best not to let the mistakes made with the Hidden Spirit Clan happen again. ”

Barnes sighed and smiled wryly.

"Obviously, for the Human Federation, the only way to stop making the same mistakes is to no longer rely on any top civilization."

"But ......"

"I'm talking about reliance, not utilization."

Barnes was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi with wide eyes. was obviously frightened by Yang Yi's words.

"From the beginning, we've been using the Weavers. No doubt. The Weavers are also using us, and the current situation is the best proof of this. This has nothing to do with the four corners of the Star Soul Empress, after all, the Empress's first consideration is the interests of the Star Weaver Clan, and my first consideration is the future of the entire Human Federation. Neither she nor I would put personal relationships above the interests of the entire community. ”

Barnes let out a long breath. said: "So, the alliance with the Weaver Clan is just to use the Weaver Clan? ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "We need the support of the Weaver Clan, and the Weaver Clan needs to lead this war through us." It can be said to be used, or it can be said to cooperate with each other. Just no matter what. We all know in our hearts that when the common good disappears, the relationship between the Human Federation and the Weavers will come to an end. Although it is not yet available, as long as this war continues according to the current situation, it will not be long before it becomes a reality. If we weren't prepared, what would happen when it happened? Of course, we are not going to sit still, so we can only prepare for the worst, and the only way is to strive to grow as quickly as possible, to become a force that no one and no civilization can underestimate. ”

"Do you think that's realistic?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Obviously, the problem I am worried about has already been thought of by His Highness. It's really unrealistic, and it's very unrealistic. Even if the Human Federation has rich experience in warfare, and has long been proven to be the most tenacious civilization in the Galactic Alliance, and even in the entire North and South Alpha Galaxy, what we have is only war experience, and a civilization needs more things to develop and grow. Of course, the most important thing is time, and what we lack most now is time. Without enough time, the Human Federation will not only be unable to develop and grow, but will even be able to destroy itself, because those powerful civilizations obviously do not want to see the Human Federation grow and grow, especially a Human Federation with rich experience in warfare and growing up in the flames of war. Quite simply, because such a human federation is definitely a huge threat to any civilization, especially those that dominate the Galactic Alliance. ”

"And that includes us."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "I am not telling His Highness this for anything else, I just hope that His Highness can put himself in his shoes for us." ”

Barnes sighed and said nothing.

"Your Highness thinks that in this case, what should we do?"

Barnes said with a wry smile: "Obviously, I don't know, because I've never had a problem like this, and I've never thought about it. ”

"Well, think about it now."

"If there's anything, just say it." Barnes let out a long sigh, and he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Yang Yi at all.

"Quite simply, we need to grow and grow, and at the same time we must not be a threat to other civilizations, at least not be seen as a threat by other civilizations." Yang Yi paused slightly, and then said, "The problem is that the known star fields are already known to have their own names, and the resources of the North Fourth Region are too poor, and they have vital strategic value. Obviously, on the existing basis, it is simply impossible for the Human Federation to develop and grow. Fortunately, there is still a star field without an owner, although it is very barren, and there are not even many planets that can allow us to live, but in this star field, we at least do not have to worry about posing a threat to a powerful civilization because of its growth and growth. What's more, if this step goes out, then at the end of this war, the Human Federation will become the key force of the two alliances left and right. Even if it is still not powerful, as long as it can influence the strategic balance, the Human Federation will have a foothold. ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, the Greenwich Meteorite Belt."

Barnes stared at Yang Yi dumbfounded, as if he didn't know him.

"Surprised?" Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Actually, other people, like you, were shocked after hearing my idea. ”

"Are you crazy?"

"Of course not, does Your Highness think I'm joking?"

Although Yang Yi said it seriously, Barnes was still shocked and didn't seem to come back to his senses.

"That's right, there's nothing in the Greenwich meteorite belt, but there's something we need most, something that can't be exchanged for any resources."

"What?"

"Safety."

"Do you think that sandwiching between two alliances will end well?"

"It depends on whether we're strong enough. If so, even if it can't be compared to the two alliances, as long as our inclinations change the strategic balance, it will be safe enough. Obviously, by the end of this war, there will be at least a few hundred years of peace. If we can seize this opportunity, we will be able to thrive before the next war breaks out, at least so that neither side dares to act rashly. ”

"You ......"

"Obviously, this is not a bad thing for the Galactic Alliance, because it means a long, even permanent, peace."

Barnes understood, but shook his head with a wry smile.

Yang Yi didn't continue, and Barnes understood that it was enough.

It was a long time before Barnes said, "Why did you tell me?" ”

"If I say that I am courting His Highness and seeking His Highness's support, does Your Highness believe it?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "So, will Your Highness let me down?" ”

Barnes also smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of being rejected by me when you tell me this?" Also, aren't you worried that I'm going to take action on you right away? ”

"Of course I'm worried, but I believe that His Highness doesn't have the strength yet."

Barnes was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi carefully.

"In the future, we can learn from each other when we have the opportunity. Although I can't guarantee that I will be able to defeat His Highness, I will definitely impress His Highness. ”

"Really?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and didn't explain much.

Actually, there is no need to explain.

When Yang Yi said the opening sentence, Barnes was sensing the original energy fluctuations emanating from Yang Yi, and to his great shock, there was nothing. It seems that Yang Yi is just an ordinary person, not a soldier at all, and he does not have the holy weapon of the Hidden Spirit Clan on his body.

Obviously, this is not possible!

Of course, Barnes also thought that Yang Yi is definitely not as simple as it seems.

This is that if Yang Yi's strength is worse than him, even if it is only the original body level below him, the resulting original energy fluctuations will be perceived by him. He couldn't perceive the fluctuation of the original energy on Yang Yi's body, which was equivalent to saying that Yang Yi's strength was not worse than him, at least the original body level was not below him.

Arguably, this is the key.

Don't forget, Yang Yi has the Hallows of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the level of the Hallows is determined by the user's Origin level. If Yang Yi's original body level is not below Barnes, then the holy weapon he owns, that is, the level of the "Source of Life", is also not below the holy weapon owned by Barnes. Barnes is a royal-level powerhouse, so Yang Yi is also an emperor-level powerhouse. Besides, if Yang Yi is not an emperor-level powerhouse, why provoke Barnes?

Thinking of this, Barnes calmed down.

Yang Yi is not only an outstanding commander, but also a strong soldier, and people like him naturally have self-confident capital! (To be continued.) )
