In a certain Star System of the Reef Starfield, a woman with a human body, a snake tail, and hair made of small, hissing snakes was chatting with a human woman on a video call.
“Medusa, are you sure you want to cooperate with that Interstellar power from the Lion King Star System?” The human woman looked at the leader of the Snake People, who was called Queen.
Medusa stroked the small snakes on her head and said indifferently, “Cooperation is only limited to powers of equal strength.”
“Just say you want to use them,” the woman chuckled.
“But what about you? As a neutral trade group in the Reef Starfield, you actually took the initiative to inform me of this news.
Aren’t you worried that if this matter gets out, the Star Gates you control will be taken back?” Medusa looked at the woman opposite her.
Although the other party’s strength was not as good as hers, she was also the leader of the Thorn Free Trade Group, one of the three Interstellar trade groups in the Reef Starfield.
She controlled nearly 30% of the market share in the Reef Starfield, as well as 30% of the Star Gate control.
Coincidentally, the control of the Star Gate in the Lion King Star System was in this woman’s hands, and it was she who informed Medusa of the detailed events happening in the Lion King Star System.
Ultimately, she decided to execute this plan.
“What did I do? I, Red Rose, just had a casual chat with my good friend.” Red Rose bit her red lips lightly, feigning a delicate and weak appearance.
But no one would believe that this woman was truly weak; weak creatures could not survive in the Reef Starfield.
“Those people must have touched your interests,” Medusa said bluntly.
Red Rose lit something similar to a cigarette, put it in her mouth, took a puff, and exhaled red mist.
“I don’t care what those people want to do in the Reef Starfield.
But they dared to cross my bottom line and snatch people on my territory!
Do they really think I, Red Rose, am just a decorative vase?
Actually, many forces in the Reef Starfield have long been unhappy about those people; if it weren’t for their fear of their strength, they would have flipped the table long ago.
I originally thought of telling you this news to hear your plans.
I didn’t expect you to prepare to act directly.” Red Rose’s beautiful eyes stared at Medusa: “As expected of Your Majesty.”
Medusa snorted coldly: “Rather than being slowly boiled like a frog by those people, it’s better to tear that paper directly.
Let those people know that this is not their empire; this is called the Reef Starfield!”
“Alright, alright. Then I’ll wait for your good news, but don’t end up killing yourself. It’s really not easy to find a good sister in this hellhole.” Red Rose winked at Medusa.
Medusa watched the video window close, and the next moment, a message popped up.
Seeing the content of the message, Medusa revealed a hunter-like expression.
...
The Snake People
are a major leading force in the Reef Starfield, possessing twelve Galaxies and nearly five thousand Interstellar Warship!
They are an existence that second-rate forces like the Salamander Tribe cannot compare with at all.
Zhao Chen was currently examining the information of the Snake-people family.
Just now, he had agreed to have a conversation with the other party and was now waiting for their reply.
Soon, a communication window application popped up.
After Zhao Chen clicked “agree,” a beautiful woman appeared on the other side.
Her appearance had significant differences from humans.
Her skin was as fair as the moon, several small, flicking snakes adorned her head, and she wore a fiery scale armor, revealing an incredibly eye-catching slender waist.
According to the description of the Snake-people family, there should also be a snake tail in places Zhao Chen could not see.
Although her appearance differed greatly from humans, her aggressive gaze and her curvaceous figure were extremely appealing.
Zhao Chen had no aesthetic barriers whatsoever!
“Are you the Commander of the Lion King Fleet?” Medusa asked first.
Lion King Fleet?
Right, his publicly announced identity in the Lion King Star System was the Lion King Fleet.
“It is I. Here, I would first like to thank Your Majesty for the intelligence you provided us; that intelligence was very helpful to us,” Zhao Chen said thankfully.
Although the other party was very likely using him, he still thanked them; after all, it was just a sentence and wouldn't cost him anything.
“Let’s not beat around the bush; let’s get straight to the point.
I want to cooperate with you,” Medusa said directly.
So direct?
“May I ask, Your Majesty, how do you wish to cooperate?” Zhao Chen inquired.
Medusa’s beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Chen. It must be said that her gaze was incredibly oppressive; if it were the old Zhao Chen, he would probably be groveling by now.
“The forces behind the Salamander Tribe are my enemies, and they are now preparing to act against you.
And I want to retaliate against them.
When those people’s Starfleet attacks your Lion King Star System, I hope you can delay them for at least five hours.
During these five hours, I will arrange for my Starfleet to attack the Galaxies of the Gaibo Clan, the Black Pig People, and the Salamander Tribe.
At that time, we will split the plundered resources fifty-fifty.
We can also equally divide the Galaxies we seize.
What do you think?”
“Your Majesty, your sincerity is not enough. My fleet will be fighting desperately on the front lines.
Your fleet will be raiding others’ homes from behind. So, I’ll do all the hard work, and you’ll get all the benefits.
That’s not how you use someone as a pawn.” Zhao Chen shook his head slightly.
Medusa frowned slightly, and the two were silent for a few seconds.
Finally, Medusa spoke first: “This matter is not bad for you. Do you think your Starfleet alone can handle the fleets organized by the Salamander Tribe?
As long as I launch a surprise attack on their Galaxies, I can definitely throw them into chaos, and then you will have a chance!”
“Who said my Starfleet can’t handle these scoundrels?” Zhao Chen smiled as he looked at Medusa.
Dealing with three thousand Interstellar Warship with less than twenty Interstellar Warship?
Although he had heard that this guy’s Lion King Fleet had fought a beautiful battle before.
But this time is different from that time. Before, there were only two T3 Interstellar Warships, but this time there are ten T3 Interstellar Warships.
But looking at the man’s confident eyes, it seemed he wasn’t bragging.
“Tell me, how will you cooperate?” Medusa finally relented. She had finally caught an opportunity to target those people, and if she didn’t seize it, it would leave a bitter taste in her mouth, and she would truly be unwilling.
“I can do as you just said, but I require you to send a fleet to support me.” Zhao Chen held up five fingers.
“Five hundred Interstellar Warship, of which at least one hundred must be t2 star battleships.
They must be at my disposal; even if I tell them to die, they must do it!” Zhao Chen’s tone gave a sense of undeniable authority.
Finally, he added: “If they do not obey my command on the battlefield, then I might not be able to stop those three thousand Interstellar Warship.”
After a moment of contemplation, Medusa agreed: “Alright, I will give you five hundred Interstellar Warship! I hope you can do as you say, otherwise...”
Zhao Chen ignored Medusa’s threatening words. He held up another finger: “I have one more condition.”
Medusa frowned. This man was a bit too greedy, but Zhao Chen’s next words surprised her.
“I don’t care what you do, but the main base of the Salamander Tribe must be left to me,” Zhao Chen said with a slight smile.
