The meeting has ended.
Ultimately, under Zhao Chen's orders, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth Xiaolong fleets, along with two special operations fleets, will head to two border star systems in the northern territory of the Dragonkin tribe.
The Sixth Legion of the Falcon Dragon is responsible for the defense of various regions.
"Are you just kicking us out like this?" Zhao Wan'er put her hands behind her back, pouting as she looked at Zhao Chen, who was announcing the end of the meeting.
Zhao Chen was taken aback, then laughed and said, "What, you guys want to freeload a meal here?"
Zhao Wan'er rolled her eyes and affectionately pulled her brother's arm: "Our Xiaolong is the first active T5-class interstellar warship."
"Aren't we allowed to go up and take a look?"
Zhao Chen noticed that Charlotte and the others also had expectant expressions.
Indeed, who wouldn't be interested in a T5 starship?
Moreover, due to the previous tense war, they had only seen the T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought in pictures and images.
"You should contact Xue Xiaoxiao directly."
She is now the acting captain of the T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought. Zhao Chen shrugged.
"Let's go! Let's go see this legendary T5 interstellar warship." As soon as Zhao Chen agreed, Zhao Wan'er immediately took the hands of the others and walked outside.
Xue Xiaoxiao did not attend the meeting because she is not currently the commander of the legion fleet.
But for her, no meeting is more important than her Pluto-chan. Recently, she has even been eating, drinking, sleeping and using the toilet on the bridge of the Pluto.
It felt like a newlywed couple who didn't want to get out of bed for seven days and seven nights.
"Aren't you going?" Zhao Chen noticed that Chi Tong hadn't left.
A hint of anticipation flashed in Akame's eyes, but she then said, "I have something to report to you, Commander."
"Is it about the demon race?" Zhao Chen remembered.
Akame nodded.
"Go ahead and say it," Zhao Chen nodded.
Akame began to recount the information she had received about the demon race from her elders on the planet where her people now resided.
It turns out that Akame's clan was originally a large clan among the demons. It was because of a certain evil technological development that Akame's ancestors chose to leave their homeland.
They crossed the territory of the Machine Race and fled to the Galactic Alliance.
They eventually settled on a remote planet, living a secluded life, which they still do today.
"My father wasn't a witness to what happened; he learned about it from my grandfather."
At that stage of technological research and development, secrecy was required.
Aside from some of the 'living energy' being captured alien slaves... the gap was actually a secret capture of some low-level demons for live experiments.
They even went so far as to find a few unimportant planets... as breeding grounds.
My grandfather opposed the development of this technology at the time, believing that it was too evil and would inevitably backfire on the demon race itself in the future.
However, other demon race leaders were obsessed with the future prospects of this technology.
Because of ideological differences, my grandfather's ethnic group also began to be oppressed.
My grandfather sensed something was wrong and concluded that if things continued like this, his people would be persecuted.
However, at that time, the vast majority of the demon race's high-ranking officials supported the development of that technology, so there was no chance of resistance.
"The only remaining option is to escape," Akame said.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly: "About how long ago was this?"
"It was almost a hundred years ago."
My grandfather is no longer alive, so now only some elders in the clan know about these things.
"I don't know much either," Akame replied.
One hundred years ago...
That means they don't know how far the demon race has developed.
But knowing is always better than not knowing.
"How many fleets did the Demon Race have a hundred years ago? What were their military strength, industrial strength, and territorial extent? And what was their political system?" Zhao Chen asked.
Akame seemed to have asked the elders in her clan about this issue, and quickly gave an answer.
"According to the elders of our tribe, when we fled from the demon race at that time..."
The highest-ranking member of the demon race is the Demon King, who has twelve demon commanders under his command. This is roughly equivalent to the status of a five-star marshal, duke, or star field governor in the Starry Empire.
The entire Demon race possesses thirty-six star systems, with a total territory equivalent to half of the Galactic Federation.
"At that time, the Demon Race was said to possess six million Demon Warships, with extremely powerful industrial capabilities. A hundred years ago, they already had a large number of T4-class interstellar warships that they could manufacture," Akame replied.
A hundred years may not seem like a long time, but for a civilization that has mastered a revolutionary new technology, a hundred years is enough to change a lot of things.
Six million interstellar warships... If they were to launch an expedition against them, the current JF-17 fighter jets simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"However, there is good news, which is on the other side of the Machine Race's territory."
The demon race has been at war with the angel race for thousands of years, engaging in an interstellar war.
"So they probably won't launch a large-scale expedition against us anytime soon," Akame added.
Angel race?
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is indeed good news. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
This angel race might be Zhao Chen's opportunity to resolve the threat posed by the demon race.
Even if this threat cannot be completely eliminated, at least it can buy time for us to develop the JF-17 Thunder.
Once Zhao Chen fully unlocks the T5 series store and builds a sufficient number of T5-level interstellar warships, even if the Demon race possesses a large number of T4 Demon interstellar warships, they will not be a threat.
"Your intelligence is extremely important to us," Zhao Chen said, patting Akame's shoulder encouragingly.
Akame revealed a happy smile.
"Also, regarding my transfer of you back to Xingyao..." Zhao Chen casually mentioned something, but was interrupted by Chi Tong.
"I'm not going back," Akame said firmly.
Zhao Chen looked at Chi Tong.
Akame said earnestly, "I understand the commander's concern for me."
I am from the demon race. Putting aside the fact that my people have already fled the demon race, from the demon race's perspective, we are traitors.
Now I am the commander of the Dragon Legion, and from the moment I officially stepped onto the Dragon Starship, I have been fighting only for it.
Moreover, I ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) have always been in command of the Second Legion of the JF-17 Thunder, and no one knows them better than me.
At a time like this, how could I let them face the threat alone while I cowered like a coward?
"Please allow me, Commander, to continue commanding the Second Falcon Army Corps in combat!"
As Akame spoke, she raised her fist and slammed it onto the owl-dragon emblem on her military uniform.
Zhao Chen looked at Chi Tong with relief: "I understand. I won't ask you to go back to Xingyao."
Lead your Second Dragon Legion into battle!
"Thank you, Commander." Akame said excitedly.
"If your people are not living on a good planet, you can consider having them migrate to the Xiaolong system."
I can arrange a habitable planet for them.
"Of course, this is just my suggestion, not a requirement," Zhao Chen said suddenly, looking at Chi Tong.
Akame was taken aback, then looked at the commander with gratitude: "I will convey your words to my people!"
