September 15, 3034 (Galactic Calendar)
The situation within the Warhammer Starfleet Union, which was originally embroiled in fierce fighting, suddenly took a complete 120-degree turn.
First, the Holy Glory Empire Expeditionary Force withdrew.
At first, the withdrawal was carried out in an orderly manner, but later, due to an emergency order suddenly issued within the Holy Radiant Empire.
The speed of the withdrawal increased several times over.
The Holy Radiant Empire Expeditionary Force withdrew from the Warhammer United States in less than a fifth of the time it would have taken to arrive.
Of course, they didn't leave unscathed.
One of the two Legions of Light, the Holy Wings Legion, remains forever in Warhammer.
The other team managed to escape.
The remaining 300,000 Holy Radiant Empire expeditionary fleet suffered a loss rate of nearly 20%, losing almost 50,000 interstellar warships in just a few days.
Half of the lost interstellar warships were rumored to have been slaughtered by a legendary starship.
Later, in the memoirs of a certain White Wolf general, she regretfully stated that her original objective was the remaining Holy Light Legion, and that she would also annihilate at least 100,000 interstellar warships of the Holy Radiant Empire.
But who would have thought that a sudden change would cause this operation plan to fail?
As a result, General White Wolf often cursed and yelled at later dinner parties, saying that the cooked duck had flown away.
And after the Holy Radiant Empire Expeditionary Fleet withdrew from the Warhammer Star Union.
The Warhammer Alliance and the Beast Alliance, formerly known as the Revolutionary Army, which were originally hostile parties, suddenly ceased hostilities.
Without any public announcement.
The Warhammer Alliance withdrew entirely from the areas prioritized by the Beast Alliance, and even relinquished all the star systems in the Black Tiger Starfield that had just been conquered.
In particular, the entire dragonflight fleet withdrew to the dragonflight tribe's territory.
An eerie silence fell over the entire Warhammer Alliance leadership.
It wasn't until later that the Warhammer civilians learned what had happened.
Regarding the retreat of the Warhammer Alliance, the Beast Alliance and the Wyvern Legion did not attack them while they were down, but instead watched them retreat quietly. However, they suspected that some of the retreating Horde fleets might have some dirty tricks up their sleeves.
That will naturally teach them a lesson and make them pay a price.
And since the Dragonkin tribes, the main backers of those tribal fleets, had completely withdrawn their troops, these guys naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
After one of them was singled out as a typical example, they all became very obedient and withdrew very readily.
Amidst the eerie atmosphere, various factions within the Warhammer StarCraft Union are also stirring up trouble.
First, the high-ranking members of the Dragonkin tribe held a special meeting.
"Revenge! We must have revenge!"
That demon race fleet dared to invade our dragon race, and even... even... murdered my father!
They must pay a bloody price! Leona was furious, her eyes bloodshot, and her emotions running high.
The high-ranking members of the dragon tribes present remained silent in response to Princess Leona's suggestion.
Seeing that no one was on her side, Leona slammed her hand on the table, pointed at the group of guys, and shouted angrily, "You are all elders and nobles of our dragon tribe!"
My father's body is barely cold, and you have no anger at all?
Don't forget how much my father valued you when he was alive. Have you lived up to his expectations?
"Your Highness...we also want revenge."
However... the reality is that this time the enemy is very strong!
With only 30,000 interstellar warships, they almost completely annihilated our five dragon-man fleets, which consisted of 150,000 interstellar warships. Despite the vast difference in the number of starships, they only inflicted a loss of 3,000 interstellar warships on the enemy.
The casualty ratio reached an astonishing fifty to one!
"Acting rashly now is highly inappropriate," a dragon-human tribe elder said in a deep voice.
Leona wanted to say something more.
I was interrupted by a voice.
"Leona, that's enough."
Blanche stared coldly at her sister.
"Leona, I understand how you feel."
But don't forget, you are the princess of the Dragonkin tribe! Your father... is gone...
Do you want the dragon tribe to be put in danger because of your recklessness?
If that's the case, even if Father were still alive, he wouldn't approve of your actions.
Leona clenched her fists, suppressing her anger, and asked through gritted teeth, "Then tell me, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) what should we do now!"
Blanche looked at Leona, who had temporarily regained her composure, and then turned to the people in the meeting room: "I would like to introduce someone to everyone now."
As she spoke, Blanche pointed to the conference room door.
The gate opened.
A deer-headed orc slowly walked in.
Everyone recognizes this person.
Because he was one of the leaders of the previous Warhammer rebels, the Deer King.
"I think everyone recognizes this person, the Deer King Chieftain."
His previous role was as one of the leaders of the rebels.
But now is a critical moment for the Dragonkin tribe, and I hope everyone can put aside some of their previous prejudices.” Blanche stood up and walked to the side of the Deer King Chieftain.
He personally helped the Deer King Chieftain to a prepared empty seat and respectfully said, "According to the decree left by our father, the Deer King Chieftain is now one of the advisors of our Dragonman tribe."
"How come I didn't know that Father Emperor left such an edict?" Leona looked at Blanche suspiciously.
Blanche tossed out a video storage device: "Because your father knows your personality, he would never carry out his orders if you acted impulsively."
And the Emperor's final decree is all in here, and I am the first to announce it.
"Father also said that Chief Deer King can represent us in facing this threat from the demon race," Blanche explained.
Leona grunted, picked up the video recording device, turned it on, and saw that it was indeed left behind by her father.
"Chief Deer King, please just say what you want to say."
"At this critical moment, we urgently need to formulate a plan of action for the Dragonkin tribe." Blanche looked respectfully at the Deer King Chieftain.
The Deer King Clan Chief nodded, looked at everyone present, and said calmly and respectfully, "You must all be wondering why the Dragon Emperor would entrust me with this important task."
I'll keep it brief.
Before this, I had taken my men to the Demon race and knew of the threat they posed. At that time, I set off back to warn Warhammer.
But when I returned, I was intercepted by the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor talked to me a lot. In fact, the Dragon Emperor had known about the existence of the Demon Race for a long time, but according to his plan, he wanted to first unify the resources of the various tribes of Warhammer.
Unfortunately, it now appears that the plan has failed.
Later, the Dragon Emperor placed me under house arrest, but during that time he also talked to me a lot, especially about the demon race.
Also, I have something important here.
Chief Deer King took out a data chip, placed it on the conference table, and pushed it forward.
"Actually, I was present when the Dragon Emperor personally led five dragonman fleets to fight against the demon race fleet."
However, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor guessed that the battle was unlikely to be won.
So I was asked to make arrangements outside the battlefield in advance, to record the details of the battle, and at the same time... before the Dragon Emperor's flagship fell.
"Transmit all the battle reports from the five dragonkin fleets to me."
The Deer King patriarch paused, his voice choked with emotion.
Everyone understood what this was.
This is the enemy fleet's combat data that the Dragon Emperor obtained in exchange for five dragon-man fleet groups.
