After arriving at Lieque Star, Bai Zhongqi brought together high-level officials from the Star Alliance government and the Universe Army for talks with the Silver Feather Army.

The Silver Feather Army was loyal to the Chancellor, but they strongly rejected direct command from the Star Alliance or members of the Iridium Star.

"The Silver Feather Army is part of the Star Alliance. The Chancellor has specifically granted you independent administrative powers to implement your customary laws on Lieque Star. This is a favor to you. The Silver Feather Army must accept orders from the Universe Army and comply with the decisions of the Supreme Command," Xiao Yu shouted, pounding the table.

This was already the fourth day of ongoing talks. Bai Zhongqi had remained a mere observer the entire time, while the Silver Feather Army was very firm, directly opposing Xiao Yu. The main point of contention between the two sides was the deployment during the war.

The Silver Feather Army was actually very pleased with the existence of the war, as it enabled them to demonstrate their loyalty and bravery to the Chancellor, crushing any enemy for him. However, since its inception, the Silver Feather Army had been formed as the Chancellor’s personal troops and therefore scorned engaging in battles where the Chancellor did not participate directly.

Clearly, Bai Zhongqi could not be involved in every Star Alliance battle, and the Silver Feather Army’s stance was straightforward. Battles without the Chancellor’s involvement held no value for them, and they refused to obey the orders from the Supreme Command of the Universe Army to engage in combat.

Nian Deng responded coldly, "We only take direct orders from the Chancellor, not assignments from anyone else. If the Chancellor commands us to fight, we will fight. Placing the Silver Feather Fleet under the Star Alliance Universe Army is absolutely unacceptable."

Xiao Yu was furious, puffing his cheeks and glowering. His significant intent in coming to Lieque Star was to unify the command systems of the Silver Feather Army and the Universe Army, bringing the Silver Feather Army under the leadership of the Supreme Command. Xiao Yu knew this would not be easy, but he had not anticipated Nian Deng’s resolve to be so firm.

On this matter, Bai Zhongqi remained detached. He was aware of the friction between the Silver Feather Army and the descendants of the Knights of Destiny, particularly with Iridium Star. As the Silver Feather Army was not constrained by the Universe Army’s jurisdiction, it posed no significant obstacle to him. All military equipment throughout the Universe Army was directly controlled by the Supreme Command, and the Silver Feather Army’s loyalty to the Chancellor was unquestionable, so Bai Zhongqi actually preferred to keep the systems separate.

Seeing that neither side could agree, Bai Zhongqi naturally introduced the next topic.

"Alright, let’s discuss the further strengthening of the Silver Feather Army. I understand that the situation with the Silver Feather Army is quite unique, and it’s hard to increase the population quickly. However, at this stage, the Star Alliance faces threats from three enslavers, and we need more warships to protect our territories. The Silver Feather Army has already started building their own shipyard on Lieque Star, and I would like to hear about your detailed plans for expansion."

The Silver Feather Army was essentially in a state of total mobilization, with no distinction between men and women, old or young; anyone could contribute as a force on a warship during combat. The combat readiness of the Silver Feather Army was incredibly strong. Each Silver Feather Army warrior had undergone rigorous training and possessed a resolute will to fight, and above all, their loyalty to the Chancellor was beyond question.

However, the Silver Feather Army had high requirements for its own purity, not allowing immigrants to join, so the Silver Feather Army could only be composed of self-propagating descendants formed over a long period of cultivation. The population of five million in the Silver Feather Army could indeed equip more warships, but this was clearly not in line with developmental norms.

"Chancellor, the Silver Feather Army has already issued a new policy encouraging childbirth. We require our families to have at least four children each, as a future combat force reserve for the Silver Feather Army. Although there won’t be any effects in the short term, and it might even consume some of our labor force, in the long run, it is absolutely necessary. For this, we request that the Star Alliance support Lieque Star in childcare services, and we need more bionic humans to take up this responsibility,"

Bai Zhongqi nodded and said, "There are no problems with that."

"As for the construction of the fleet, we have also developed a new plan, planning to build 46 new Unicorn Warships within three years, including three main battleships. Technically and in terms of construction, we adhere to the Silver Feather Army’s own style, but we still need resource support from the Star Alliance."

This was also within Bai Zhongqi’s expectations; the Silver Feather Army insisted on their own military technological style and rejected the direct introduction of technology from Iridium Star for improvement. In terms of building capabilities, albeit unique in some aspects, the Silver Feather Army still fell short compared to Iridium Star, which had mastered atomic substance construction. It took their shipyard an average of 8-12 months to build a warship, and even more time for a main battleship.

When settling on Lieque Star, the Silver Feather Army began building their own shipyards. Constructing 46 warships in three years seemed quick to many civilizations, but it was nothing to the Star Alliance.

Although the Silver Feather Army now had more warships than the Universe Army, it wouldn’t be long before they were surpassed and their proportion within the Star Alliance’s total number of warships would gradually decrease.

Nian Deng was aware of this fact; however, he believed that the Silver Feather Army always followed a path of elite troops and could not compete with the Universe Army in terms of scale. With more than two thousand warships, the Silver Feather Army was more for self-preservation amidst the diversities of the universe. If not for the current needs of the Chancellor for such a number of ships, the Silver Feather Army might even reduce the number of operational warships.

It should not be ignored that the Silver Feather Army was not actually an interstellar fleet but originally a cavalry force. This also meant that the Silver Feather Army was not greatly interested in expanding their fleet but rather in rebuilding a massive terrestrial army.

They refused to accept the warship technology from Iridium Star, yet they referenced various technologies from Iridium Star for manufacturing vehicles and powered individual armor. At this moment, Nian Deng proudly stated, "Chancellor, the Silver Feather Army has preliminarily completed the formation of the first interstellar cavalry corps. This star-level cavalry corps, comprising over three thousand personnel, is equipped with the Silver Feather Army’s most cutting-edge weapons and is capable of successfully fulfilling various combat missions, whether in cosmic space or within the atmosphere, we are confident in defeating any enemy."

For a long time, the Silver Feather Army did not differentiate between crew members and the Army, as they needed to possess combat skills whenever there was a need, allowing essentially all members of the Silver Feather Army to transform into Universe Army or mobile infantry.

Bai Zhongqi was somewhat resigned to such organization by the Silver Feather Army; in actuality, in the conflicts between universe civilizations, if it came down to the power of terrestrial forces, it generally meant that the conflict was near its end, with war mainly relying on fleets. But the Silver Feather Army, with such historical roots, favored becoming a terrestrial combat corps more.
