Chapter 882 - 461: [Chenxing Kingdom]
In a few years, the [Civilization Great Wall] has finally extended its reach from west to east, successfully encompassing the entire Heavenly Disk Galaxy within its defensive range.
For those Torch Ship Captains who saw the Starry Sky Great Wall that spans endless light-years for the first time, the shock was indescribable.
However, for Song Chi, it had become somewhat commonplace.
…
This summary conference was taking place atop the Robber Star Floating Land, a Seventh Level Floating Land.
As for the attendees, the least powerful among them were those with the strength of a Zhulu Warship Captain, and each faction could only send one representative unless they had a Fifth Rank Battleship Captain, in which case they could send several representatives.
A Sixth Rank Gate like the Song Family could not only send all their Fearless and Battleship Captains, but they could also bring multiple Zhulu Warship Captains with them.
The firmament of the Robber Star Floating Land, in a short time, thousands of Torch Warships of Zhulu-class and above gathered, naturally, the four Star-Annihilating Starships were the center of attention, surrounded by all the others.
About ten minutes after the ten warships of the Song Family arrived, when representatives from all sides had gathered, the post-war summary conference officially commenced.
Without any superfluous opening remarks, everyone was busy. The Annihilation Starship Captains still had to further discuss the specific details of the continued guard duty at the [Civilization Great Wall], so the first sentence spoken in the magnetic wave group chat formed by the four Star-Annihilating Starships went straight to the point.
“Yaohan-Liu Shu: This is the data on the contribution to the expansion compiled by the subordinate statistical department over the past three years. Take a look, everyone, the following detailed distribution will be based on this contribution ranking. Those higher up not only have the priority in the distribution but will also get larger areas of the Star Domain!”
After speaking, a detailed expansion contribution data chart was uploaded to the group chat.
Song Chi quickly clicked to open it, but soon his brow furrowed.
[Robber Star Expansion War Contribution Rankings]
[First: Yaohan Liu Family]
[Second: Northern Sphere Shen Family]
[Third: Dongli Xiao Family]
[Fourth: Chenxing Principality and Stark Combined Fleet]
[Fifth: Mysterious Han Yue Family and Bell Combined Fleet]
…
The rankings listed on this contribution chart were quite interesting; besides the three Immortal Clans listed separately, the others on the list were all notably combined fleets.
However, this also made things a lot easier, avoiding many unnecessary disputes, at least for the time being. As for the future re-distribution and disputes within the combined fleets, that was their own affair, and the Annihilation Starship Captains need not concern themselves with it.
Aside from the three Immortal Clans with legacies spanning over ten thousand years, the Chenxing Principality and Stark Combined Fleet in which the Song Family was a part ranked fourth on the list.
This was expected by everyone.
Not to mention the Chenxing Principality and the Stark Combined Fleet’s impressive battle record during the expansion war, but solely the fact of a newly recognized Annihilation Starship Captain determined that their place could only be below those three longstanding Immortal Clans.
What made Song Chi puzzled was that according to his previous conjecture, the Chenxing Clan, as the fourth Immortal Clan, should have been listed separately. Why were they still included within the combined fleet?
Even more puzzling was that the words “Chenxing Principality” were clearly labeled, which was quite an eyesore to other Kingdom forces.
“Could it be… that Lady Rosetta is planning to establish a kingdom…”
Suddenly, Song Chi thought of something, his breathing rapid, and even his controlled composure showed a clear stir of emotion.
Beside him, inside the Immovable Ming King, Song Shiyuan was the first to notice his abnormality, or rather, not just Song Chi’s but the entire Song Family and all representatives of the five major powers of the Principality who showed up at the conference, as their faces revealed excited expressions one after another.
As if to confirm what everyone was thinking, at that moment, a detached voice from Rosetta Chenxing suddenly resounded in the conference group chat.
“As for this list of expansion contributions, all captains from the Chenxing Principality have no objections. However, before the final allocation, I would like to give all present a heads up, in three months, the Chenxing Principality will formally hold a [Kingdom] ascension ceremony, and we hope for your attendance!”
As these words were released, the entire conference chat fell silent for a moment.
The ascension from a Duchy to a Kingdom was undoubtedly a joyous occasion, but at this moment, the hearts of the representatives from various factions in the group chat all tightened as their gazes scanned over the indifferent faces of the three Annihilation Starship Captains from the Yaohan Kingdom, and nobody dared to be the first to extend congratulations.
Ultimately, it was the old ancestor of the Song Family, Song Wujiang, who smiled actively breaking the deadlock:
“Good! The Chenxing Principality has been established for over 5,000 years, and now that we finally have an Annihilation Starship Captain, this is indeed an occasion for celebration!”
With these words out, representatives from the Golden Corner Lu Family, the Dusk Family, and the Eagle Family quickly caught on and voiced their agreement in response.
Once the major factions of the Principality gave their consent, the representatives from the Kingdom followed suit.
While they offered congratulations with their words, the hearts of the representatives from the Kingdom factions were a mix of feelings.
The Duchy ascending to a Kingdom meant, unmistakably, that they aimed to compete for more territories right under the noses of the three established Immortal Clans of the Yaohan Kingdom.
And this Chenxing Principality… no, it should now be referred to as the Chenxing Kingdom, the more resources and territories that Chenxing Kingdom was allocated, the more it would ultimately cost the other forces of the Yaohan Kingdom.
