Chapter 1377: Holy Elf Empire
"The other party sent another communication request, asking to speak with our Emperor."
He sincerely apologized for his rudeness earlier.
Currently, she is the highest-ranking person on their side.
But what she had to report was indeed very important.
She requested that we consider her communication request.
"These are their exact words," the secretary reported to Charlotte.
Charlotte shrugged and looked at Zhao Chen and Lilith on the other side of the video window.
"How should we handle this?"
"Let it air out."
"You'll be having a video call with them in ten minutes," Lilith said calmly.
"Me?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised.
Lilith nodded: "Yes, it would be too much of a favor to let our emperor meet her right away, since they came uninvited."
However, we will be listening the whole time.
If things proceed smoothly, I will step in.
Zhao Chen agreed, saying, "Let's handle it the way Lilith suggested."
It was settled in just a few words.
On the other side, the so-called high elf commander was extremely anxious.
He simply could no longer sit calmly in the captain's chair.
Instead, he paced back and forth on the bridge.
If this exchange fails, they will have no choice but to return.
Although it seems to have no impact on their universe.
However, it also cannot alleviate the crisis that its own universe is currently facing.
"Has the other party not replied yet?" The female elf commander Gladys looked at her secretary, who had asked this question for the umpteenth time in the past few minutes.
The secretary shook his head helplessly and said, "No."
Has the other party really given up on negotiating with them?
The female elf commander Gladys returned to her captain's chair and slumped heavily onto it, her expression extremely solemn.
She reflected on her previous mistakes.
Looking back now, she made so many mistakes.
She shouldn't have approached the other party with such reckless behavior and attitude; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Suddenly, the secretary exclaimed, "Report! We have received a communication request from the starship that just communicated with us."
"Bring them in immediately!" the female elf commander Gladys said without hesitation.
They were afraid that if they were even a step too slow, the communication request would be canceled.
The familiar communication window appeared before my eyes, and on the other end was still that same commander.
"Um... I apologize for some of my less-than-ideal words and actions just now."
But I have come with the utmost sincerity.
"Our two interstellar civilizations can absolutely become friends." The attitude of the female elf commander Gladys was indeed much better than before.
They are completely different people.
Charlotte understood, and she said calmly, "Our Emperor also considered that you are, after all, guests."
Out of courtesy, I am still willing to negotiate with you again.
"Then...may I have the honor of meeting...your esteemed Emperor..." the female elf commander Gladys inquired tentatively.
But when he saw Marshal Charlotte frowning.
She immediately said, "If it really doesn't work, then forget it."
Please convey my personal respect and the goodwill from the Holy Elf Empire to His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon Empire.
As she spoke, the female elf commander Gladys gave a slight bow.
Sure enough, after being reprimanded, he became even more'sensible'.
"Our Emperor is very busy and it is not possible to arrange for you to see him at the moment."
But if there's anything, you can talk to me about it.
If the matter is indeed very important.
"Then I will convey these words to His Majesty the Emperor. After His Majesty understands them, he will make arrangements to see you." Charlotte said calmly.
"well.
"That's fine too." The female elf commander Gladys had learned her lesson and didn't insist too much this time.
After all, this hard-won opportunity for negotiation couldn't be wasted.
“Then let’s start with...” the female elf commander Gladys began.
Charlotte spoke first: "Let's start with your Holy Elf Empire."
After all, we need to know who is negotiating with us.
The female elf commander Gladys was somewhat uncomfortable, but still nodded and said, "That's fine too."
Let's start with our Holy Elf Empire.
In our universe, that is, the cosmic coordinates you have discovered.
Our Holy Elf Empire is the strongest interstellar civilization, and we govern dozens of lower kingdoms.
They obey us and depend on us.
Under the light of the Elf God and the World Tree, our entire universe is in a state of beauty and prosperity.
..."
Charlotte interrupted impatiently: "Get to the important part."
For example, the current level of technology, military fleet strength, and political system of your Holy Elf Empire.
Upon hearing these questions, the female elf commander Gladys paused, somewhat hesitant.
But think about it, this information isn't really confidential. Anyone from this universe could easily find out by going to her universe and doing a little probing.
Just like the information they found about the Dragon Empire when they came to this universe.
Of course, she couldn't reveal certain special intelligence information.
I sorted out my thoughts.
"Our Holy Elf Empire is currently at the sixth level of technology and is constantly striving towards the seventh level." The female elf commander, Gladys, spoke with pride.
She continued, "We have a conventional interstellar fleet of 30 million interstellar warships of all classes and types."
Within our empire, the elves are the supreme and superior race.
Among the elves, there are also different elven races.
For example, the Wind Elf race, the Water Elf race, the Moon Elf race, the Night Elf race, the Blood Elf race, and so on...
There are as many as hundreds of varieties.
Among them, there is one special case.
Those are high elves.
High Elves do not belong to any elven race; they are elves who have received the blessing of the Elven God. They will shed their original racial bloodlines and evolve into the great High Elves.
In the Holy Elf Empire, nearly 70% of the power structure is held by high elves.
Furthermore, only high elves are allowed to enter the High Council.
The High Council is the highest-ranking political council in the empire, primarily responsible for discussing various matters concerning the empire.
In addition, there are five great Elf Kings.
The five Elf Kings and the High Council formed the power center of the empire.
They led the empire to prosperity and peace!
When she mentioned these things, the female elf commander Gladys's face was filled with undisguised pride and joy, and her eyes even seemed to be shining.
After hearing all this...
Behind the scenes, Zhao Chen and Lilith basically understood the prototype of the Holy Elf Empire.
Zhao Chen had already seen that Lilith had drawn up a framework for a pyramid structure.
At the very top are five Elf Kings, with a question mark next to them, meaning that the status of these five Elf Kings is yet to be defined.
Below that is the High Council, and next to it is a question mark. This question mark means that it remains to be defined whether the High Council truly possesses sufficient power.
Below that is the High Elves tier, which Lilith explained as 'Imperial Nobles'.
When Zhao Chen saw this explanation, he really thought it was very vivid.
However, Zhao Chen was puzzled because, according to the female elf, these high elves had evolved from other forms of life.
evolution?
Could it possibly transform? That would be beyond Zhao Chen's understanding of biological science.
However, it cannot be completely ruled out.
After all, concepts like Order, Undead, Zerg, and even time travel have all appeared before.
Can Zhao Chen guarantee that 'evolution' won't happen?
Even if you told him the next second that you had discovered the M78 Nebula, Zhao Chen would probably only be surprised and wouldn't have any doubts.
Next, Charlotte asked some more questions, and the other party only answered the ones she could, and evaded the ones she couldn't answer.
After the inquiry ended.
The female elf commander Gladys looked at Charlotte: "Marshal, can we continue our conversation now?"
"You mean that danger that's about to happen in our universe?" Charlotte asked, looking at the other person.
The female elf commander Gladys nodded and said, "Yes."
This matter is very important.
I hope that Your Excellency the Marshal will convey to His Majesty the Emperor of your side what I have said today, verbatim.
This concerns the safety of your universe!
"Go on," Charlotte said, waiting for the other person to continue the story.
"Your side has used cosmic probe scanning equipment many times, so you must have already gained some understanding of the surrounding cosmic realm."
Have you ever wondered why there are only three universes in such a vast universe? The female elf commander Gladys paused deliberately at this point.
Zhao Chen was startled.
The other party deliberately threw out such a statement; it was definitely intentional.
Why is that?
Could it be that it's not a coincidence that only three universes exist within this cosmic realm?
But is there some other reason?
Actually, a long time ago.
There are at least three more universes surrounding this cosmic realm.
"But now they've all vanished," the female elf commander Gladys said in a deep voice.
“Disappeared? How could the universe possibly disappear...” Charlotte suddenly realized something, and her words trailed off.
"Order, you must have already encountered it, right?" Gladys the elf's eyes held a complex expression, a mixture of anger and fear.
Charlotte's head.
"Order is a level seven technological civilization whose existence is to conquer other universes."
In this process, some interstellar civilizations realized that they could not escape the fate of being invaded by the established order.
They chose to negotiate with the order.
I don't know what methods those guys used, but they actually managed to persuade the authorities.
They survived the engulfment of order, but from then on they became its pawns.
Their technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have also acquired a very special kind of technology.
They began to actively invade the interstellar civilizations in the surrounding universes.
Invasion, massacre, plunder.
After plundering their prey's entire universe, they began their true atrocities.
Using some kind of technological device that resembles the power of order, they actually managed to dismantle the universe from within.
Although the efficiency is not very fast, it can take anywhere from one year to ten years.
A universe vanished into nothingness.
It is said that it is some kind of technological device that can extract energy from the universe.
The vast majority was handed over to the order, while the rest was taken by the invaders.
In this situation, the surrounding universes are destroyed one by one.
"As of now, only three universes remain in this cosmic realm," the female elf Gladys said solemnly.
"Those damned invaders, they call themselves the devourers of civilization."
Because of your previous explorations, they have already discovered your existence.
If I'm not mistaken, their starfleet is already preparing for an expedition!
Charlotte frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Ask her why, geographically, this devouring civilization is closer to their Holy Elf Empire's universe.
The Holy Elf Empire, however, remained unaffected. Lilith's voice rang in Charlotte's earpiece.
Charlotte relayed Lilith's question.
The fairy Gladys replied, "That's because in the earliest times, when we were invaded by the Order."
We used our technology to protect our universe.
This allowed our universe to survive the hunt by the order.
At the same time, we also have enough strength to deter the Devouring Civilization from having any designs on us.
"But things have changed now?"
This civilization that devours civilizations has also begun to covet your universe.
"You sensed the danger, so you wanted to join forces with us," Charlotte said.
Gladys the elf did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "That's how it is."
My purpose in visiting your universe this time is partly to learn about your interstellar civilization.
On the other hand, we are trying to find a way to unite with you and jointly resist the invasion that devours civilization.
They've become complete lunatics.
They will destroy any universe they find.
Furthermore, they now possess the strength and means to threaten our Holy Elf Empire.
to be honest.
If it weren't for your actions this time, the Devouring Civilization would have discovered you.
Then their next target will definitely be us.
If war were to break out in our universe, it would be a catastrophe.
We do not want to see such a disaster happen.
We also do not want to see such a disaster happen in your homeland.
"So let's unite and fight these damned creatures together!" Gladys the elf's tone grew increasingly agitated.
She had completely lost that elegant and proud air she once possessed.
At this moment, she was like a warmonger.
It seems she truly hates that civilization that devoured her.
Charlotte fell silent at this moment.
This is indeed a very big matter.
She glanced at Zhao Chen and Lilith, who were silent on the other side of the video window.
We await their next steps.
