T5 Hades-class Starship Dreadnought - Bridge
"What is the situation on each local battlefield?"
"Everything is proceeding smoothly according to Saint Cana's plan, very smoothly."
"Those members of the Imperial Senate and nobles probably never expected this to happen and were caught completely off guard," Lilith, the secretary, said, standing next to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Yeah, who would have thought that our base would be raided?"
However, this is also thanks to Saint Cana's plan.
This commander of the Holy Angels Legion is not as simple as she appears. Although she looks like a righteous and innocent young girl, she has actually built her own network of connections long ago.
Come to think of it, people from such large families are rarely kind.
"So, what are your plans for dealing with this mess that is the Holy Radiant Empire...?" Secretary Lilith emphasized the last three words.
What a mess...
Indeed, the Holy Glory Empire may appear glorious on the surface, but internally it is already rotten and corrupt due to various problems.
It's like a dam that's been hollowed out.
It could collapse at any moment, flowing out in a torrent.
Calling it a mess is probably an understatement.
Because of the existence of that Level 5 permanent cosmic wormhole, the Holy Radiant Empire is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Zhao Chen covered his head with a wry smile.
Unfortunately, he couldn't let the bomb explode.
It's like Zhao Chen's territory is a village right next to the Holy Glory Empire's dam.
If the dam collapses, the resulting floodwaters will also affect Zhao Chen's village.
As the saying goes, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well.
What else could we do but defuse the bomb?
Who told me to end up with such a neighbor?
"Sigh..." Zhao Chen rubbed his temples.
There are Zerg here and Demons there.
The problem is that there is still no way to close this cosmic wormhole. In other words, as long as this cosmic wormhole exists, a large number of interstellar Zerg will pour out of it, and a T5 worm mothership will also emerge from time to time.
On the other hand, the Demon race, although not a continuous threat, no one knows when they will pounce and bite you, given the current strength and resources of the Wraith Dragon Legion.
They are completely incapable of undertaking an expedition to wipe out the demon race.
This is so worrying!
"Report, General Saint Cana and her men have arrived at our ship's hangar and are awaiting your instructions," a subordinate reported.
"Pull up the surveillance footage of this hangar for me," Zhao Chen said.
Lilith quickly brought up the view of the hangar.
Zhao Chen watched as more than a dozen shuttles were parked in the hangar, with hundreds of people crammed together, and a team of crew members outside staring at them with laser guns.
These people who were once high and mighty in the Holy Glory Empire were now like pigs and sheep penned together, trembling in fear, as if they would be dragged out and slaughtered at any moment.
"Let Saint Cana choose for herself who she brings to see me."
"The rest of you stay here and await further instructions," Zhao Chen said, turning off the surveillance camera.
He still needs to figure out how to deal with the mess he's in right now.
This is awful. I miss my big white cat's fluffy head and tail. They feel so good to the touch, a real stress reliever!

hangar
Saint Cana also received instructions from Zhao Chen.
She went up to her father, along with Consul Gilbert and Consul Melissa, and asked them to follow her to meet Zhao Chen.
Then he looked at the consuls Ernest and Andrew in the corner.
“Gilbert, please escort these two men with us,” Saint Cana pleaded.
“Alright.” Without a word, Consul Gilbert picked up the two consuls, one in each hand, and followed Saint Cana out.
Seeing that Saint Cana was about to leave with a few people, they left them there and were guarded by a group of armed soldiers.
This caused panic among many people.
"Why...why are we being placed here?"
"Lady Saint Cana, why are you leaving? Please don't leave us here. Our family is willing to pledge our loyalty to you!"
"Are they going to execute us? Ahhhh... I don't want to die!"
"Brother, niece... please don't leave me here."
At first, there were only a few people, but this kind of emotion is contagious, and soon more and more people became panicked.
They even wanted to catch up with Saint Cana and the others.
bang bang bang bang
Several bullet holes emitting black smoke on the ground instantly brought the group to their senses.
"Everyone stay where you are and don't move, or you'll face the consequences!" the squad leader roared.
At this moment, a raised hand appeared very abrupt.
Uncle Er pointed at the group of people who had already walked out of the hangar with a wronged look on his face: "I am also from the Holy Angel family. I am Saint Cana's second uncle!"
But at that moment, several laser guns were already aimed at Uncle's head.
"Those who weren't called by Miss Saint Cana just now, stay here."
"Anyone who disobeys orders may be killed on the spot!" a sergeant shouted angrily.
This time, the second uncle finally behaved himself, shrinking back into the crowd, but still muttering, "I...I'm her second uncle...second uncle..."
While this group of people were in a state of panic.
Saint Cana and her group have arrived at the bridge of this super starship.
After entering the bridge, Governor Melissa's eyes never stopped scanning her surroundings.
In contrast, Consul Gilbert, a former military officer, appeared very serious.
Chief St. George was extremely nervous, constantly swallowing hard.
Finally, the group saw the man lounging comfortably on the sofa.
This scene is probably quite different from what many of them had imagined.
However, Saint Cana wasn't surprised, since she had interacted with this man before and knew his personality and temperament.
“I’ve brought him here, this is...” Saint Cana was about to introduce him when Zhao Chen interrupted her.
"I know him."
Zhao Chen stood up, smiled, walked up to Chief St. George, and extended his hand: "Hello, Chief St. George."
"You...you...hello." Chief St. George immediately grasped Zhao Chen's hand, his tone somewhat excited.
"You have a very outstanding daughter," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
“Where...there...I have never seen such an outstanding young man as you,” said Chief St. George.
Zhao Chen looked at the beautiful woman behind him.
"Governor Melissa, I have long admired your beauty," Zhao Chen said with a smile, looking at the beautiful governor.
However, what happened next was something no one expected.
Governor Melissa bowed slightly, took Zhao Chen's hand in hers, and brought it to her lips, lightly touching it with her red lips.
This scene left everyone who witnessed it dumbfounded.
Zhao Chen was also taken aback.
"Ah... Was I being rude? I heard that in your Starry Empire there is an ancient custom of kissing the other person's hand."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," Governor Melissa apologized repeatedly, looking ashamed.
This woman is so dramatic.
Others might speculate whether Melissa genuinely intended to use this gesture to express her respect for Zhao Chen.
But Zhao Chen was well aware of this woman's ulterior motives.
If you say it's a hand-kissing gift, then it's a hand-kissing gift.
Why are you still licking it?
From then on, Zhao Chen labeled this beautiful female governor.
'Glib and smooth-talking'.
