Where some are sad, others are happy.
"Hahahaha... Well done! Beautifully executed! You've really shown our might!"
Xuan'er, take a look at this battle report.
A casualty ratio of nearly 30 to 1!
That's no ordinary legion fleet on the other side, it's the Holy Angel Legion!
They actually managed to achieve such a record.
"How wonderful! How wonderful!" Chu Changhe was overjoyed, as if he himself had won the battle.
This prompted Chu Xuan, who was standing to the side, to roll her eyes.
"Grandpa, you received this message more than half an hour ago."
You've said these words several times already.
"I can almost recite it from memory," Chu Xuan said helplessly.
Chu Changhe laughed heartily and said without any hesitation, "What? Tired of hearing it!"
Xuan'er, let me tell you something.
Even if it wasn't Zhao Chen, if it were anyone else who could achieve this result, I, Chu Changhe, could brag about it for three days and three nights!
In this way, we can avoid the suffering of being attacked from both sides in this civil war of the Starry Empire.
That Zhao Chen kid is something else!
"Well done! No wonder I personally chose this grandson-in-law!"
His grandfather's high regard for Zhao Chen was practically to the point of recognizing him as his own grandson.
Chu Xuan was used to hearing the old man's words and did not directly refute them.
And to be honest, she was worried about Zhao Chen's holy war duel before, but she didn't expect Zhao Chen to produce such an excellent result.
It made her feel proud of that man.
It can be said that after this battle...
The Dragon Legion ranks among the top three of the Galactic Alliance Legion's fleets!
It can be said that he became famous overnight!
"However, will the Holy Radiant Empire really abide by this three-year non-aggression treaty?" Chu Xuan asked with some concern.
"Yes, but no," Chu Changhe said.
Chu Xuan was taken aback and looked at her grandfather with confusion.
Chu Changhe explained, "The Holy War Duel is a sacred and inviolable ritual for the Holy Glorious Empire."
Even the Imperial Senate dared not overturn this result, after all, they ruled by religious beliefs, and their system would collapse instantly if they violated the rules they had established.
Therefore, they will not do anything that would backfire.
However, they won't simply remain completely uninvolved.
“But if they can’t send their legion fleets into the Starshine Empire, what else can they do?” Chu Xuan had just finished speaking when an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
She exclaimed, "Could it be... that the Holy Radiant Empire will use other means to interfere with the Starry Empire?"
"Yes." Chu Changhe nodded: "I can think of at least three."
For example, supporting an interstellar power and secretly providing assistance to help it win the civil war in the Star Glory Empire, or even maintaining the chaos in the Star Glory Empire for three years if all else fails, would be an excellent option.
Alternatively, they could hire a large number of space pirates and mercenary fleets to enter our Starshine Empire and cause all sorts of destruction, thus delaying the development of our Starshine Empire's civil war and dragging it out indefinitely.
The two options above are relatively low in cost-effectiveness.
If it were me, I would directly choose to cooperate with the weaker side in the Star Empire's civil war and provide them with interstellar warships and other related assistance.
Then demand that the other party sign some treaties, such as ceding a certain star system, etc.
Chu Xuan frowned: "You mean... if we gain the upper hand in the civil war of the Starry Empire, the Holy Radiant Empire will contact the Princes' Party and provide them with assistance."
Then have the princes sign some treaties...
But... ceding a star field would be an act of national humiliation and loss of sovereignty.
Would the princes really dare to do this? Isn't Qin Ming worried about being scorned by everyone in the Star Glory Empire?
"Nailed to the annals of the Starshine Empire!"
Chu Changhe looked at his granddaughter and laughed, "Xuan'er, you're still too naive."
If the princes' faction were to truly reach that point, they might very well do something like that.
After all, history is written by the victors, and only by surviving can one become the ultimate victor.
If it really comes to that, they will not hesitate to sell out some of the Starry Empire's interests in exchange for the Holy Radiant Empire's aid.
Chu Xuan fell silent.
Yes, some people have bottom lines, like her grandfather.
But some people have no bottom line. Just think, Qin Ming dared to kill his own father, what else wouldn't he dare to do?
If you really push him to the brink, who knows what crazy things he might do.
"What should we do then?" Chu Xuan asked, somewhat worried.
Chu Changhe shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it."
"Huh?" Chu Xuan looked at her grandfather in surprise.
Chu Changhe laughed and said, "There's really nothing we can do. If they've really signed some kind of agreement, there's nothing we can do."
They had no choice but to continue fighting the princes' faction, even if it meant facing a tough situation.
Although this situation is unfavorable to us, it is still a very good situation compared to directly facing the interstellar legions of the Holy Radiance Empire.
If the difficulty we were facing before was nightmare-level, then it's now at least hard-level.
Chu Xuan nodded, agreeing that this made sense.
"Oh right, that kid Zhao Chen also proposed to supply us with 30 billion star coins of raw material resources every month."
I never expected this kid to actually manage those resource-rich star systems so well, producing such a large amount of resources in such a short time. Not bad at all!
"In that case, we don't need to worry about combat resources for the time being, and we can continue to compete with the Prince Party!" Chu Changhe said with a sneer.
I was initially worried that the resources would be exhausted.
But now Zhao Chen has come up with a solution to break the deadlock, directly overcoming the six-month restriction.
Then Chu Changhe would have no worries about the future.
"Oh right, I also heard that during this Holy War duel, that kid Zhao Chen even brought out a T4-level interstellar heavy battleship called something like Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
This kid secretly managed to build a T4-class interstellar battleship on his own.
No wonder he was unwilling to use my T4 North Wind God during the Holy War duel.
Chu Changhe stroked his stubble, squinted, and said, "Xuan'er, I think this kid promised us the technical blueprints for the T4 interstellar destroyer before the end of the year."
That's completely misleading us.
At his speed, I estimate he could hand it over to us right now.
Go and urge him on!
Don't think that 30 billion star coins of combat resources per month can satisfy this old man.
The technology for the T4 star destroyer—that's something he promised!
Chu Changhe is still thinking about his T4 interstellar destroyer.
“Okay, I’ll contact him.” Chu Xuan nodded.
"Contacting them is useless."
Since the fighting on the main battlefield has calmed down recently, you can go see him in person.
"If he doesn't hand you the technical blueprints for the T4 Star Destroyer in person, you'll throw a tantrum in front of him," Chu Changhe said with a wicked smile.
Chu Xuan had a speechless expression.
At this moment, Zhao Chen was checking the rewards for the quarterly tasks he had completed.
Unexpectedly, debt collectors have already started coming to their door.
