That's the hegemonic power, and it's not so easy to fight them. Although the current strength of the Santan Empire is not what it used to be, it is still far from being compared to the orcs.

"I won't let you fight alone, I will help you, it's just that your own mentality has to be adjusted, and you have to think about it or not!" Lin Yifan said.

Lin Yifan negotiated with him very calmly, without a hint of threat. The Goth General could naturally feel Lin Yifan's sincerity, and at this time he realized that he still underestimated the young man in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, the Gothic general discussed with the city lord for a while, and then said, "Good! I agree to your request, for the sake of the people of the Santan Empire, and for the sake of my family, I am willing to cooperate with you! ”

"Excellent! I hope I haven't lost my eyes, the people of the Santan Empire are all up to you! Lin Yifan nodded and said.

"Come on, I hope we have a happy cooperation!" Goth raised his glass and toasted Lin Yifan.

"Hmmm! Happy working together! Lin Yifan also raised his glass and responded politely.

Lin Yifan and the Gothic general had a smooth conversation, everyone chatted while eating, and the two sides discussed the next plan in detail again.

Goth was responsible for inquiring about the specific whereabouts of the Protoss in the military department, so as not to transfer them to the royal family of the Santan Empire in recent years.

In addition, Goth is also responsible for providing detailed information on the hostile forces of the Santan Empire, and telling Lin Yifan about the current problems that the Santan Empire urgently needs to solve.

There were three rival forces in the Santan Empire, and although they did not make a big move under the rule of the overlord, those small battles did not stop.

The three rival factions are Sonny, Quinlan, and the Divine Court, of which the Sunny Empire was a branch of the Sontan Empire many years ago.

Because of the remoteness of the star field, and the fact that the rulers of the Santan Empire were very brutal at that time, the consul of Sunny's star field rebelled and set himself up as king.

Of the three hostile forces, only the Sunny Empire does not bully the weak, and their lord is not bad. The other two empires, on the other hand, were brutal by nature and often bullied other weak civilizations.

After years of fighting everywhere, I don't know how many living beings have died in the war. The Kunlan Empire and the Divine Court Empire and the Santan Empire have the greatest contradiction, and the strength of these two empires is stronger than the Santan Empire.

Especially the Divine Court, it can be said that it has reached the strength of a quasi-overlord. Also because of the strength of the Divine Court, he often plundered the mineral planets around the Santan Empire.

For the Divine Court Empire, the lord of the Santan Empire has a great headache. The Divine Court Empire does not confront the Santan Empire head-on, they fight guerrilla warfare with the Santan Empire, and when the main fleet of the Santan Empire arrives, the plundering team of the Shenting Court has long disappeared.

However, with the current strength of the Santan Empire, it cannot compete head-on with the Divine Court Empire. It's just that everyone else has come to their own homes, and if they don't make a move, the morale of the soldiers will plummet.

The main enemy of the Santan Empire now is the Divine Court Empire, and recently there has been a war report on the border, and the Divine Court Empire is even more crazy than before, plundering several mineral planets at the same time.

For this reason, the lord of the Santan Empire was furious, and while urging the generals of the empire to crusade against these bandits, he also issued a high bounty for those mercenary groups to deal with the plundering teams of the Divine Court.

Don't say it, the trick of offering a high bounty really works. Those mercenary groups had a better record than the main fleet of the Santan Empire, and they had rich combat experience and raided many plundering teams.

The warships of the mercenary regiment are modified and have special properties, which are not comparable to the main warships.

Although this kind of battleship cannot fight the main battle, the modified battleship is very maneuverable, and it is very suitable for fighting guerrillas.

It was precisely because of this that the plundering team of the Divine Court Empire suffered heavy losses. These mercenary groups came and went without a trace, making the people of the Divine Court Empire scratch their heads.

As for the Kunlan Empire, they plundered the mineral planets of the Santan Empire less often, while the caravans of the Santan Empire were very frequent.

Whether it is a civilian caravan or an official caravan, they all plunder, especially the official caravan, which is loaded with huge quantities of supplies, and is the first target of their plunder.

The lord of the Santan Empire also wanted to plunder their supplies, but the two empires were very close to the Santan Empire, and the Santan Empire was caught in the middle, so he did not dare to transfer all the fleets out.

The lord of the Santan Empire really has no choice but to continue to use that trick and offer a bounty for the mercenary group to plunder.

For the mercenary group, this is a great thing. Looting can get a lot of supplies, and there are rewards for successful looting.

For these mercenaries, money is more important than life. As a result, many mercenary groups joined in, and Kunlan and Shenting suffered a lot of losses in the early stage.

But then it didn't work, Shenting and Kunlan increased their border defense, and also added a special force.

This special force is equipped with high-mobility small warships, specially designed to eliminate those mercenary groups.

Those mercenary groups went a few times, not only did they not get a bargain, but they also suffered heavy losses, and after that, no mercenary group dared to go.

The lord of the Santan Empire was very helpless, facing two empires that were stronger than himself, his troops were seriously insufficient, so that he had no confidence to lose his temper.

The continuous plundering of mineral planets on the border has caused heavy losses to the Santan Empire and a serious economic decline, and it is because of this that they have sent fleets to other river systems to plunder supplies there.

The fleet that was intercepted by Lin Yifan before took a small transport convoy. After learning the inside story of the Santan Empire, Lin Yifan understood why they chose the distant river system as their target.

If the two empires continue to plunder like this, the military of the Santan Empire will be dragged down, followed by the economy.

In fact, the economy is not the point, for interstellar civilizations, they can already control the economic system of the empire.

However, the Santan Empire has a large population, and the daily consumption of supplies is an astronomical amount. The frequent plundering of mineral planets will gradually reduce the supply of the Santan Empire.

The reason why the two empires of Kunlan and Shenting did not attack head-on was that they wanted to use this method to encroach on the Santan Empire little by little.

When the plundering reaches a certain amount, the armament of the Santan Empire will decrease, and at that time, when a frontal attack is launched, Kunlan and the Divine Court will divide the Santan Empire.

The situation of the Santan Empire is in crisis, and the upper echelons of the empire only think about having fun, and do not think about these issues at all.

In the war, the first unlucky ones were the people, and the second was generals like Xiang Goth. As for those high-level who only know pleasure, they will turn back or flee the Santan Empire at the critical moment.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Santan Empire is very strong, but it is not. Under the continuous plundering of those two empires, the Santan Empire began to decline.
