"I told you, it was all a misunderstanding."
"You saw it too, my pants are covered in her vomit." Zhao Chen changed into a new pair of pants, walking while glancing at the leopard woman who was trying not to laugh as she followed behind him.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding." The leopard-woman guard nodded, unable to suppress a smile, but her eyes held an unspoken ambiguity.
Zhao Chen was too lazy to explain; after all, he had nothing to fear.
"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly come to see me?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Secretary Lilith said she has something very important to report to you. She wants you to go to the bridge immediately." Only then did the bodyguard, Leopard Girl, remember her mission.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly. If Lilith wanted to talk about something in person, it must be very important.
This prompted Zhao Chen to quicken his pace.
We boarded the floating elevator and quickly arrived at the bridge.
"Commander."
The bridge gate opened, and several crew members who happened to be walking by immediately greeted the commander.
Zhao Chen nodded slightly, then walked to an area behind the bridge command platform.
That was a 'work area' specially prepared for Zhao Chen by Lilith's secretary, while the command platform was naturally handed over to Xue Xiaoxiao.
"Commander." Lilith saw Zhao Chen arrive and brought up several data windows.
"What happened?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Look at these, these are things recorded in some confidential documents from the Saint Family and the Imperial Senate that we obtained through Saint Cana."
"We've discovered that the Saints' family has actually established contact with the Angels!" Lilith said seriously.
Zhao Chen was taken aback. The Saint Family actually had connections with the Angel Clan?
Zhao Chen originally asked Lilith to collect this information in order to investigate the mysterious doctor who might be cooperating with the Saints family. Who would have thought that they would uncover such a big secret?
Moreover, Saint Cana hadn't mentioned this to him.
This means she probably didn't know either, otherwise she would have no reason to deceive herself.
Angels... Zhao Chen had heard of this interstellar race, especially after encountering the demon race, and learned more about them.
If we were to compare the universe as Zhao Chen currently understands it to a balance scale...
The machine race was in the middle, the Galactic Alliance's territory was on one side of the scale, and the angels and demons were on the other side.
The Angels and Demons have always been in a state of struggle. In the early days, the two sides were evenly matched, and the Angels were even able to gain the upper hand in some local battles.
However, when the demon race developed life energy technology, they overturned the balance and gained the upper hand in their confrontation with the angel race.
This is the relevant information Zhao Chen learned.
At the time, I was thinking that if I could establish contact with the Angel race, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I could use the Angel race to restrain the Demon race.
However, there was no way to contact them.
Unexpectedly, the Saints family has now prepared a gift for me.
"How did they communicate? What is their relationship?" Zhao Chen asked.
Lilith began to answer Zhao Chen's questions based on the declassified documents.
All of this actually stemmed from the withdrawal of the Machine Race.
Using the analogy of the balance scales, the machine race is positioned in the middle, blocking the passage on both sides.
But now that the machine race has withdrawn, a shipping lane has been opened up at both ends.
One of the shipping lanes through which the Demon Race attacked Warhammer.
The Angel race and the Holy Radiant Empire established contact through another sea route.
Furthermore, it was the Angel race that took the initiative to establish contact with the Holy Radiant Empire.
Just a few months after the Machine Race withdrew their troops, an Angel fleet visited the Holy Radiant Empire. Unfortunately, it happened to arrive in the star system territory controlled by the Saint Family.
The Saints' family made contact with the Angel Fleet and discovered that the Angel Fleet's technology far surpassed that of their Holy Radiant Empire.
They possess a full complement of T4 and T3 class interstellar warships, and it's even rumored that they have T5 class interstellar warships!
Furthermore, the Angels' interstellar warships were beautiful. According to the records, the person who received them described them as works of art that he had never seen before.
The ship's hull is painted entirely in pure white, and its beautiful streamlined shape makes it look like a holy maiden.
However, it seems that the Angel race does not have a large number of interstellar warships, and they follow the route of elite fleets, with each interstellar warship having a very high construction cost.
Following that secret meeting, the Saint Family, representing the Holy Radiant Empire, established basic diplomatic relations with the Angel Race.
"It seems that the angels are still somewhat wary of them."
They tried several times to have technical exchanges with the Angels, but were refused each time. Zhao Chen pointed to the document that recorded the meeting process.
“After all, they’ve discovered that their starship technology is more advanced, so why would they let you conduct a technical exchange for no reason?” Lilith said.
What followed was the interstellar catastrophe of the Zerg.
It was at this time that the Saints family proposed the migration plan, the destination of which happened to be the Angel race.
"I said, how could the Saints family suddenly discover a safe star system suitable for living?"
So this guy is planning to bring his whole family to become someone else's lackey! Zhao Chen saw a record.
After realizing that the Zerg crisis was beyond their control, the old patriarch Andrew contacted the Angels, requesting their support and assistance.
However, the Angel race refused. Zhao Chen could guess the reason: they themselves had to face the vicious Demon race fleet.
I don't have time to care about you guys.
However, after several rounds of negotiations by Chief Andrew.
Finally, the Angel race accepted Chief Andrew's request to lease several star systems as their living areas.
Furthermore, the citizens of the Holy Radiant Empire who fled for refuge must become vassal tribes of the Angels and obey their arrangements.
The star systems that housed them were simply those vacated by the withdrawal of the Machine Race.
Because the Angel race itself doesn't seem to have a large population, they need to rely on other races to develop these star systems.
The Holy Spirit race has a decent reproductive capacity. Although it cannot compare to the human race and the orc race, it is much better than the angel race and other rare races.
Besides the rent, those star fields weren't just for the Saint Family and others to live in for free. After developing the star fields, a portion of the resources produced had to be handed over to the Angel Race.
Isn't this just a typical wage earner?
"These saintly families are really something, going all that way to work for someone else." Zhao Chen shook his head with a smile.
"So what do we do now?"
According to the latest news, the Angel race will send a fleet to meet again in about three days to finalize the relocation plan. "Lilith said.
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Then let's proceed according to plan."
This time, however, the representatives they met with were different.
