Chapter 1831: The Plan of the Twenty-fifth Princess Mo Qi
After listening to what the princess had to say, Zhao Chen...
A basic blueprint also appeared in his mind.
"So what's your plan?"
You actually came all this way to see me.
"You must have already made preparations and plans, right?" Zhao Chen looked at the other person, waiting for their reply.
The 25th princess, Mo Qi, had indeed come prepared.
She stated bluntly, "All I need is for you to send me ten million interstellar warships."
Combined with my deployments in the Ash Lord Kingdom, I can control at least one-third of its territory within six months!
“Ten million interstellar warships.” Zhao Chen read the number aloud, then squinted at Princess Mo Qi, the twenty-fifth princess: “It seems you’ve done your homework on our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire before coming here.”
You should know that in a typical battle of this magnitude, they would seek support.
The number of those interstellar warships is at least in the hundreds of millions.
The princess only asked for ten million interstellar warships.
This means she knew the combat capabilities of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's interstellar warships.
"Yes, I wouldn't have come here to meet you in person if I didn't have a sufficient understanding of your Dragon Star Empire."
I have learned about the development history of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and the wars it has experienced.
Although you don't have a large fleet of interstellar warships, each one is elite.
Even when facing the Devouring Civilization, which is also a minion of Order, your Dragon Legion fleet can still fight against overwhelming odds.
They annihilated an enemy fleet numbering over 300 million.
The number of your dispatched legion fleet is less than one-tenth of the enemy's.
Currently, in our Ashes Venerable Kingdom...
The Conqueror civilization only dispatched one hundred million interstellar warships.
Our Ashbringer Legion fleet has 150 million interstellar warships in battle.
However, the quality of our starships is far inferior to that of the Conqueror civilization's starships, although we do have T6-class starships.
However, we lack near-T7 level interstellar warships, which puts us at a disadvantage in battlefield clashes.
Your Dragon Legion fleet even has a history of defeating the Conqueror Civilization's elite fleet with fewer troops.
I have also taken into account the current situation of your Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
The invading fleets of the Conqueror civilization still linger in your universe.
You naturally won't mobilize too many legionary fleets to support us.
Therefore, I only need ten million interstellar warships!
The twenty-fifth princess, Mo Qi, looked at Emperor Zhao Chen.
"You haven't told me your specific arrangements yet." Emperor Zhao Chen looked at the Twenty-Fifth Princess.
Princess Moqi, the twenty-fifth princess, continued, "I also have some arrangements in our Ash Venerable Kingdom and have developed some trusted forces."
Furthermore, there are currently many forces opposing the Ash Lord within the Ash Lord's kingdom.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I had already made contact with the leaders of these forces long ago.
As long as I can launch the fiercest attack on the capital planet of the Ash Venerable Kingdom, all regions will respond immediately.
At that point, we will only need to face the garrison of Wangdu Star, as well as some reinforcements that come to our aid.
As long as we can take over the capital city, and even control Ash Venerable.
Then we'll have the upper hand, and everything will be much easier from here on out!
Upon hearing about Princess Moqi's plan...
Even the nineteenth prince, Mori, standing beside him was stunned.
He never expected that his sister would actually start planning a direct attack on the capital planet!
What has my younger sister been hiding from me for the past ten years, and all those years before that?
"It seems you've really come prepared." Emperor Zhao Chen stared at the princess from a distant country.
"I came with sincerity."
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be here at all.
You should know what the consequences would be if someone of my status were discovered leaving their own civilization.
Such cooperation would be of great help to you.
I know that you and the Order are now mortal enemies.
This is actually the same situation as that of the conqueror civilization.
Do you know why the conqueror civilization keeps invading other civilizations' universes?
Because they are in a distant cosmic cluster, and have been engaged in a millennia-long war with the Order and its henchmen, the enforcers of the Order.
The conqueror civilization had no other choice.
Therefore, they can only continuously wage wars against other countries, turning the universes they occupy into breeding grounds for future growth.
A continuous supply of blood to the battlefields of the conqueror civilization.
For over a thousand years, conqueror civilizations have been constantly at war.
More than half of their local children go on to take up military-related jobs after adulthood, while the remaining 30% participate in second- or third-tier military-related work.
The last 20% will do things that have absolutely nothing to do with military matters.
The Conqueror Civilization is now entirely a military empire.
Since they have already made enemies of your Dragon Star Empire.
Then they won't let you and your empire off easily.
Can't these two convince His Majesty the Emperor?
Furthermore, there's your current situation.
If you don't move forward, you'll drift backward.
"For no other reason than the Venerable Civilization Universe Cluster, don't you want it?"
As the twenty-fifth princess, Mo Qi, spoke, her tone gradually became uncontrollable.
Because this is practically her only chance right now.
She had to seize this opportunity.
"I need to think about something this important," Zhao Chen said calmly.
Princess Mo Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed her head respectfully: "Time is very important to us. I hope His Majesty can give me an answer soon."
"I see.
"You may leave now." Emperor Xiaolong dismissed the two.
Princess Moqi, the 25th princess, and her brother walked out of the palace.
"Mo Qi, how many things are you still hiding from me?" The nineteenth prince, Mo Li, looked at his sister and felt that she was a complete stranger to him.
He acted as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him at all.
"Brother, I know."
You'll find it unbelievable when you hear what I'm saying.
Will they think I'm crazy?
However, this is a dream I've had since I was a child.
In the past, they all called me princess, saying that I was noble.
But more often than not, I feel like I'm just a mascot, there to appear at banquets and for people to see.
Later, I arrived at those planets.
When I handed over things that I could easily obtain to those people, they looked at me with the same eyes that looked at a god.
I think I've found the meaning of my life.
After my mother passed away.
If I had to say what the meaning of my life is, I guess this would be it.
No matter how it ends, I want to give it a try!
The nineteenth prince, Mori, looked at his younger sister.
For some reason, all he felt was heartache.
He placed his hand on his sister's shoulder and said firmly, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be your brother!"
The twenty-fifth princess, Mo Qi, turned to look at the majestic hall, her voice trembling slightly.
"Do you think... His Majesty the Dragon Emperor would agree to cooperate with us?"
——————
After the meeting ended.
Zhao Chen immediately contacted the Supreme Secretary Lilith and Grand Marshal Charlotte via video.
Inside the holographic room.
The three sat around a round table.
"There is something I need to tell you."
"Is it about a princess and a prince coming to speak with you?" Lilith's secretary asked.
Zhao Chen looked at Lilith's secretary with some surprise: "Are your information channels so well-connected?"
It feels like I have absolutely no secrets from you.
Secretary Lilith rested her chin on her hand, looked at Zhao Chen with a grin, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to keep a secret..."
First and foremost, you need to take full responsibility for everything that is your responsibility.
Instead of dumping most of the work on me.
You dumped all those tasks on me, and all your subordinates come to me to report things, so do you think you still have any secrets from me?
So, what do you think?
Zhao Chen immediately said, "I think you are my secretary."
It doesn't matter whether I have any secrets from you!
joke.
He wants to halve his current workload.
If he had to pick up those jobs again, he'd rather quit right now.
"That's roughly how it happened..." Zhao Chen relayed what the twenty-fifth princess, Mo Qi, had said to the two women.
The two women listened very attentively.
More than half an hour later.
I listened to the whole thing.
"So now I'm asking for your thoughts and opinions."
After all, supporting a distant cosmic battlefield is too risky for us.
But to be honest, the benefits that the princess mentioned are indeed real. After saying this, Emperor Zhao Chen of the Dragon Emperor essentially passed this difficult problem on to them.
Next, they began to discuss this issue.
"First of all, we can't easily believe what they say. They just say they are from this Ash Venerable Civilization Kingdom."
What if it's a trap set by the conquerors?
We need to send our own personnel to the Venerable Civilization Universe Cluster to investigate the situation.
"And then there's the actual situation of their battles with the conqueror civilization."
We cannot completely believe what they say.
They said there were 100 million interstellar warships in the Ashbringer Kingdom, but when we get there, we find out there aren't 100 million.
Is it 150 million ships, or even 190 million?
In times of war, there's no turning back once the arrow is released.
"We also need to determine whether the Venerable Civilization Universe Cluster is worth developing for us."
"In addition, our original plan."
After a period of rest and recuperation, they launched a final attack on the conqueror civilization that occupied our universe.
Drive them out of our universe completely.
But now, if we want to open a front, we need to send ten million interstellar warships there.
This has a significant impact on our plans.
"You know, we've already promised the Black Goddess Empress to support the battlefield in the Black God Universe."
"And then there's this battlefield. The opposing Venerable Civilization Universe Group involves more than a dozen different kingdoms, making the forces quite complex."
There will be many unexpected situations when dealing with this, and the risks are considerable.
"Furthermore, this is a war across universes, a war across universes. We have never had a similar experience before."
At the same time, we do not have space delivery equipment that allows us to travel across universes.
In this way, the movements of our fleet are completely out of our control, posing a significant risk.
...
Emperor Zhao Chen of the Dragon Emperor heard the various opinions and discussions of the two women.
They are basically all aimed at the drawbacks of this matter.
After listening, Zhao Chen looked at the two women and said, "So your opinion is that we cannot get involved in this matter."
Charlotte and Lilith fell silent again at this moment.
After a moment of silence, Lilith's secretary spoke first: "We're not going to kill this plan outright."
What we just talked about was risk.
However, interests also exist.
That princess was right about one thing.
War is always the fastest way for a civilization to develop rapidly.
As you can see, the development speed of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, which initially relied on war and now relies on investment, is completely different.
The former is fast and efficient, but it carries risks.
While the latter is not as efficient, it is more stable. Although it may not yield returns in the short term, it can provide stable and lasting benefits once the relevant construction plan is completed.
However, currently, in our universe...
The situation has stabilized, and it is no longer possible for us to plunder those interstellar civilizations through war.
The news of this Venerable Civilization brought by the princess, however, turned out to be a good external option.
At this point, Grand Marshal Charlotte also spoke up: "Regarding the inter-universe group war..."
This is something we'll have to face sooner or later.
This applies to both conqueror civilizations and the minions under the control of order.
We all need to make the necessary preparations.
It would be risky to confront them right from the start.
But if we can try it out on other battlefields first, it will help us accumulate experience.
Furthermore, does this princess possess inter-universe cluster delivery technology to be able to come to our universe cluster?
If such a thing existed, could it be of use to us?
Zhao Chen listened as the two women explained the benefits involved.
They did not reject the plan because of the risks involved.
Instead, it takes a multi-faceted and multi-angled approach to this issue.
As Zhao Chen listened to their words and analysis, he also analyzed the pros and cons of the matter in his own mind.
This is something that needs to be considered carefully before a decision can be made.
This will directly affect the future development and survival of the Dragon Star Empire.
The current Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is walking on a precipice, and the slightest misstep could plunge it into an abyss and shatter it to pieces.
Time passed little by little.
Some are anxious, some are worried, and some are pondering.
