With trepidation, Blanche and Leona walked across the glass-like walkway in the middle and arrived at the central bridge platform.
"Greetings, Lord Dragon Lord." Princess Blanche knelt on one knee without hesitation, using the highest etiquette of the dragon people, with her hands on her chest, her tail close to her body and the ground, her dragon wings close to her back, and her head facing the ground.
Leona was taken aback when she saw Blanche's manners.
But soon, she followed suit and bowed as well.
Zhao Chen himself was a little surprised that these two dragon princesses were so 'polite', kneeling on one knee as soon as they met.
Secretary Lilith, standing to the side, smiled slightly. She thought the two princesses' actions were actually quite wise.
With the two women kneeling, the future of the Dragonman tribe was saved.
"Get up and talk." Zhao Chen sat on the specially made sofa.
Although there was the captain's chair of this T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought not far away, Zhao Chen still felt that this sofa was more comfortable.
For Zhao Chen, it's all about doing whatever makes him comfortable.
It doesn't matter who sits there.
The two princesses stood up straight.
"Then let's get right to it."
"Your two fleets should have already tallied the casualties from this war, right?" Zhao Chen asked directly, getting straight to the point.
Princess Blanche replied, "Our fleet that came to provide support suffered very few casualties this time, thanks to the Dragon Legion taking on the main offensive role. We only lost five thousand interstellar warships."
In fact, Blanche's report was not important at the beginning.
Zhao Chen's gaze fell on Leona.
Leona lowered her head, biting her lip, and said with a regretful tone, "Because of my previous arrogant behavior, I led 300,000 Warhammer Starships to attack the Demon fleet without authorization."
This led to us being ambushed by... other demon fleets.
If...if...if it weren't for the timely support of the Dragon Legion, the fate of our 300,000 interstellar warships would be unimaginable.
On behalf of my fleet soldiers, I would like to express my gratitude once again to Lord Dragon Lord...
Princess Leona was speaking when she prepared to kneel down again.
Zhao Chen said helplessly, "We are talking about serious business now, don't keep kneeling here."
Let's not say any more words of thanks.
I just want to know your battlefield reports.
Do you understand?
Leona was somewhat surprised by the man's calm words.
She had thought that this man would treat her and her fleet as saviors because of this rescue operation.
But now it seems that this man thinks this rescue operation is nothing special, and he downplays it as if it were an ordinary thing.
"Leona, just answer whatever the Dragon Lord asks," Blanche whispered to her.
Leona composed herself and then recounted the details of her fleet's losses.
Among the 300,000 interstellar warships led by Leona.
It is divided into a fleet of 200,000 Dragonkin tribes and a fleet of 100,000 other tribes.
The 200,000-strong Dragonkin fleet suffered over 50% casualties, with 100,000 interstellar warships destroyed. Of the remaining 100,000 Dragonkin interstellar warships, 30% were severely damaged, making repairs difficult and time-consuming.
The remaining 70% were also injured to varying degrees.
The other 100,000 tribal fleets suffered an even more terrifying casualty rate of over 80%, because these tribal fleets themselves were composed of individuals with varying combat capabilities.
When the demon fleet ambushed them, they immediately lost their composure.
Compared to the Dragonkin tribe fleet, which had slightly higher combat quality, many of their losses were actually completely unnecessary.
Unfortunately, this has already become a reality.
The final result was that of the 300,000 interstellar warships under Leona's command, 180,000 were directly lost, and more than 50,000 were severely damaged.
More than 80 million space soldiers have died.
The lost interstellar warships included 123 T4-class interstellar warships, and this statistic also covers the two near-T4-class interstellar warships.
After saying all this, Leona once again lowered her usually arrogant head in frustration.
"In other words, this battle."
"Your Dragonkin tribe has essentially lost a third of its total fleet," Zhao Chen said calmly.
“You could say that,” Blanche nodded in agreement.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly and said, "In that case..."
The number of Dragonkin fleets stationed in the border territories of your northern Dragonkin tribe will be greatly reduced.
The demon fleet, having experienced this battle, may not launch another attack in the short term.
However, once a second attack is launched, its combat power will undoubtedly far surpass that of this battle.
Blanche nodded; this was also a problem that was currently troubling her.
As far as she knew, the JF-17 Legion had used almost all of its trump cards in this battle.
Even the T5 super starship made an appearance.
After learning about the combat strength of the Dragon Legion, the Demon Clan will definitely assess the Dragon Legion's combat strength and dispatch a Demon Clan fleet that they believe is sufficient to destroy the Dragon Legion.
Blanche doesn't even want to imagine that scene now.
This is a major crisis that was destined to come.
"I will find a way to get the military factories within the Dragonkin tribe's territory to go all out in production."
"Fill these gaps as quickly as possible!" Leona promised directly.
She was desperate to atone for her sins.
Zhao Chen suddenly changed the subject, coldly saying, "What's the use of building more starships like your Warhammer?"
"Trade another 150,000 interstellar warships for the 3,000 interstellar warships of the Daemon race?"
These words undoubtedly reopened old wounds for the dragon people.
In the past, Leona would have definitely glared at Zhao Chen and argued with him.
But now, her eyes are also filled with confusion.
During the battle with the demon race, she also felt the gap in starship technology between the two.
Even among interstellar warships of the same class, it often takes several times the number to have a chance of inflicting the loss of a single enemy interstellar warship.
This left Leona feeling powerless.
Seeing the change in Leona's eyes, Zhao Chen knew that the fish was already in his arms.
"In the battle just now."
The clash between our Xiaolong-class interstellar warships and the Demon race's interstellar warships.
You've all seen it, haven't you?
Zhao Chen raised his hand, and holographic projections of various interstellar warships appeared before the two princesses.
There are even T4-class interstellar warships among them.
"What if I were willing to help you produce these interstellar warships?"
