Listening to Lilith's reports.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "Now it seems we can only hope that those demons will delay their antics."
Both sides are now building up their strength.
Nobody knows who will make the first move.
However, Zhao Chen was confident that the longer this time dragged on, the more advantageous the Xiaolong Legion would become!
The JF-17 Legion is currently lacking time.
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned.
Time flies, and it's already the end of March.
When Zhao Chen's quarterly tasks did not refresh for a long time, a task pop-up appeared.
【Quarterly Task Update】
Please select the method of providing military assistance to the Machine Race and the Angel Race within the next three months.
1: Military aid,
2: Weapon aid,
3: Financial assistance
4: Waving flags and shouting.
Note: Please be aware that once the corresponding assistance method is selected, the task will automatically fail if you use other assistance methods.
Option 4 yields three T6 combat-type starships; Option 3 yields two T6 combat-type starships; Option 2 yields one T6 combat-type starship; Option 1 yields one near-T6 combat-type starship.
Zhao Chen frowned. The appearance of this quarterly mission at this time basically meant that the Demon Race was about to launch an attack on the Machine Race and the Angel Race.
The requirements for this task are indeed a bit excessive.
Option four needs no further explanation.
But the rewards for this mission are really tempting.
The highest reward is three T6 interstellar warships, but that means Zhao Chen cannot provide any assistance to the Angels and Demons.
"Does that mean I can't fulfill these military procurement orders either?" Zhao Chen wondered.
【Military procurement orders fall under this category of weapons and equipment assistance. If you choose assistance methods 3 and 4, you will no longer be able to provide weapons and equipment assistance; otherwise, the mission will be considered a failure.】
Sure enough, there were no bugs causing me to get stuck.
Zhao Chen rubbed his chin.
To be honest, he really wanted to choose option four.
However, judging from a probabilistic point of view, since the Demon race dared to launch an attack on the Machine race, it means that they had their own confidence.
I won't be able to provide any support within those three months. Who knows what might happen?
Moreover, it would severely damage his relationship with the Machine Race and the Angel Race.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Chen had to give up these three T6 treasures.
Next to give up were the two T6 gems in option three.
After all, do the Angels and Machines lack funds for financial aid?
Are you kidding me!
If they were short of funds, they wouldn't have asked JF-17 to purchase interstellar warships.
Not to mention the Mechanical Race, a powerful and wealthy group.
That leaves only options one and two.
Of these, option two naturally offers the best reward, as it at least provides a T6 starship to choose from.
Zhao Chen does not currently possess a T6 combat-type interstellar warship.
If the JF-17 can manufacture and put into service a T6 combat-type interstellar warship at this time, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to its own strength.
With a thought, a gold frame appeared on option two in the quarterly tasks, indicating that the task option had been selected.
"The quarterly task will only be implemented at the end of March, and the task period is three months."
"April will be here in just a few days. Does that mean we'll have to carry out two quarters' worth of tasks at the same time?" Zhao Chen thought of this rather strange situation.
Never mind, it's a system task anyway, I'll just do it.
However, we need to keep a close eye on the movements of the demon race.
Just as Zhao Chen was thinking...
Charlotte then contacted Zhao Chen.
"Commander, the latest news has come from the Angel race's front lines!"
"The demon fleet is making a move!" Charlotte's holographic image said.
"Explain in detail!" Zhao Chen asked seriously.
Charlotte began to explain the situation in detail.
Several hours ago, a fleet of one million Demon Starfleets arrived at the border between the current territory and the Angelic-controlled area, indicating a strong inclination to wage war.
On the angelic side, the King of War Angels and the King of Holy Angels have also ordered all angelic legion fleets to enter combat readiness!
"So that means they haven't started fighting yet?" Zhao Chen asked suspiciously.
"Yes, the latest news is that the two sides are still in a standoff."
The Angel race has 600,000 interstellar warships, while the Demon race has 1 million interstellar warships, although there is a difference in numbers.
However, since the Angel race has already equipped themselves with a considerable number of our Dragon-type interstellar warships, and the Angel-type interstellar warships themselves are not bad either, the current situation on the battlefield should be considered evenly matched. Charlotte offered her analysis.
"Something's not right." Zhao Chen frowned at this moment.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Charlotte asked, puzzled.
Zhao Chen squinted: "I've studied the demon race's combat style. Once they choose to attack, they won't drag it out."
Moreover, when dealing with the Angel race, the usual approach is to directly engage in battle with a large army charging forward.
Their current stance seems to suggest they're merely putting on a show for outsiders.
"Just for show?"
"Then what are they after?" Charlotte asked, puzzled.
At this moment, Zhao Chen thought of something and immediately asked, "Is there any news about the Machine Race?"
Charlotte shook her head and said, "The Machine Race's territory is too high; we don't have enough manpower to monitor it."
However, I can try to contact the stealth reconnaissance ships hidden within the Demon race's territory to see if I can detect any unusual actions by observing the Demon race fleet's movements.
Zhao Chen nodded and said seriously, "Pay close attention, especially to the mechanical race."
I'll also contact the Machine Race.
"OK."
After ending his communication with Charlotte, Zhao Chen immediately contacted her using the fast communication channel he had previously established with the mechanical beauty, Ah Yin.
"What is it?" Ah Yin asked coldly.
"The demon race has started another war against the angel race."
But I'm worried that their real target is you.
"Therefore, I hope you can strengthen your defenses!" Zhao Chen reminded them solemnly.
Ah Yin continued coldly, "The demon race would never dare to offend our mechanical race."
If you're trying to use this to get our Mech Race fleet involved and help you deal with the Demon Race...
I advise you to reconsider this idea.
My master said you have to deal with the demons yourself.
We, the machine race, will no longer provide any assistance.
If there's nothing else, let's leave it at that.
Don't contact me unless it's something important.
After saying that, the mechanical beauty on the other end hung up the communication.
"This woman!" Zhao Chen never expected that his well-intentioned reminder would be misunderstood as having ulterior motives.
The other party is uncooperative, so it seems we can only leave it to fate.
