Chapter 2024: The Saintess’s Holiday
While Zhao Hu was enjoying his internship...
Zhao Bai'er wasn't idle either. The fleet she led also participated in a mission during the Black Legion's attack on the Black Great Wall defense line.
Although there are only 300,000 interstellar warships.
There was also no support from quasi-T7 starships.
However, relying on his superb command skills, Zhao Bai'er still achieved amazing results on the defensive line he was in charge of.
Originally, after learning Zhao Bai'er's identity, although they had some respect for this princess of the empire, many people still thought that she might be here to gain prestige.
But to their surprise, the eldest princess's command skills on the battlefield left them all in awe.
Some subtle deployments and arrangements have even significantly altered the course of the battle.
The three deputy commanders of the corps were secretly impressed, realizing that their combat skills were superior to those of the three officers who had years of combat experience.
Could this be His Majesty the Emperor's bloodline?
"Pay attention to the defense of this area."
The enemy may intensify its offensive against this area.
Also, pay attention to these areas.
The giant eggs hurled by the enemy caused considerable trouble for our Black Wall defenses.
Try to clear these giant eggs before they land on the Black Wall defenses.
..."
Zhao Bai'er handled every problem on the battlefield with clarity and speed.
One day, two days, three days.
Zhao Bai'er hardly got any rest, and didn't even leave the bridge.
He would take a short rest, lying on the captain's chair.
Even the slightest noise around her would instantly wake her up, prompting her to ask if anything unusual had happened.
"M-Commander."
You should take care to get some rest.
In the past 72 hours of combat, you have only rested for less than eight hours.
Regardless of your current status, you are now the commander of this fleet.
You must take care of your health.
If you don't get adequate rest, it could lead you to make wrong judgments on the battlefield!
"You really need to rest." The vice commander looked at Zhao Bai'er seriously and made this point.
Others also stepped forward to offer their support.
He noticed that his subordinates were concerned about his rest status.
Zhao Bai'er knew at this moment that it was time for her to rest.
Her mind was clearly not working as fast as before, and in this state, although she really wanted to continue fighting here.
But she was also well aware that if she continued to persist, even the slightest mistake would come at a great cost.
"I see.
I will go down and rest for six hours.
During these six hours, command will be in your hands for the three of you.
If there are any problems, the three of you can discuss and resolve them.
If we cannot reach a consensus, let me know immediately.
"If anything serious happens, you must tell me!" Zhao Bai'er reminded him.
"clear."
The three deputy commanders of the corps agreed.
Zhao Bai'er glanced at the bridge, then dragged her weary body away without returning to the dormitory prepared specifically for the captain.
Instead, they went directly to the temporary rest area inside the bridge.
Although it's a temporary rest area.
But there is a bed and a shower here.
It can meet the basic need for rest.
Zhao Bai'er took off her military uniform, which she hadn't changed or washed for three days.
She saw a bathtub in the shower room and instructed the robot to fill it with water for her.
Then she went into the bathtub and enjoyed a comfortable rest.
During this time, she turned on her handheld terminal and looked at the messages that contacted her.
There were messages sent to me by my parents.
not much.
They didn't seem to care much about her current situation, but Zhao Bai'er knew that it was because her parents didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
More information came from her classmates.
A close classmate sent me photos of herself swimming and sunbathing by a lake at a resort in her family's property.
There are also photos of people traveling and exploring in interstellar space.
There are also some special cases among them.
For example, there's a photo of someone who signed up for a Starship competition and won a top-three finish.
After she shared these things, her friends asked her how her holiday went.
Zhao Bai'er replied to each of her friends' photos.
Then she thought about it for a moment, and finally she submerged herself in the bathtub foam from the neck down, leaving only her face above her nose exposed.
Then I took a selfie with her.
Then I sent it to my friend.
"I just finished exercising and am taking a shower now."
"I'm so tired." Zhao Bai'er added a cute message at the end.
A reply came quickly.
Some people asked where Zhao Bai'er was now, and others asked what activities Zhao Bai'er was participating in.
Zhao Bai'er gave ambiguous answers to all of them.
It's estimated that no one would expect that Zhao Bai'er is currently on the battlefield at the front line of the Black Great Wall defense line.
Soon, the drowsiness brought on by the bath swept over her mind.
She fell into a deep sleep in the bathtub.
Fortunately, the bathtub has a smart system, so there won't be any situation where someone drowns while sleeping in the bathtub.
Just then, the door to the lounge opened.
A figure walked in.
The figure walked into the shower room and looked at Zhao Bai'er, who was fast asleep.
Zhao Bai'er's ears twitched slightly. Normally, if someone appeared beside her at this time, she would definitely wake up in fright.
But for some reason, she felt at ease at that moment.
Even when this person picked her up, she only curled up her body.
Because of this aura... it really made her feel at ease.
They cleaned Zhao Bai'er's body, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
After standing there and watching for a while.
Turn off all the lights in the room.
She then walked out of the lounge.
Outside the lounge on the bridge, there were sounds, but they were all sounds of work being carried out; there were no other sounds.
What's strange is that the tone and volume of these voices are extremely precise, as if they were deliberately controlled.
They tried hard not to let their eyes wander, but sometimes they couldn't help but look over.
Because... the person who came to their bridge was really too special.
"If she doesn't ask, don't tell her I was here."
The visitor gave instructions to the three deputy commanders of the corps.
"yes."
The three answered immediately.
Then, the man left.
After the man left, it took several minutes for the atmosphere on the bridge to truly ease.
"Holy crap, I didn't expect this esteemed person to actually come!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen this sir in person."
"I'm so lucky, so incredibly lucky."
The three deputy commanders could not hide their excitement, but they quickly regained their composure.
"Stop talking nonsense and do your job well!"
"yes!"
The battle along the Black Wall defense line proceeded as if it were a routine task.
On the other side.
Another storm is brewing.
The Saintess Civilization, on a planet in a star system.
A woman was standing on the back of a giant beast.
The beast was covered in wounds and marks from being pierced by various weapons.
Finally, the giant beast collapsed to the ground and lost its breath.
The woman landed steadily.
"Your Holiness." A servant immediately handed over a towel that had been used to wipe her face.
This is the War Saintess.
She wasn't wearing the special attire of a saint; instead, she was wearing a soldier's combat uniform.
This form-fitting combat suit accentuated her figure even more.
She removed her weapons and equipment and stretched.
Then he took the towel and wiped the monster's blood off his body.
But after wiping it a few times, she gave up.
The monster's blood was so thick that it couldn't be wiped clean.
"I remember there was a lake in that room?" The War Saintess gazed at the blue sky in the distance.
"Yes."
"Walk."
As soon as the War Maiden spoke, several maids followed with their equipment.
We walked to the lakeside.
The War Saintess pressed a few buttons on her combat suit, and the suit automatically disintegrated.
At the same time, she walked step by step into the lake.
The maids stood on the shore, guarding the war saint.
The war saintess bathed her body in the lake.
But just then, a figure appeared from the sky.
It even stirred up a whirlwind.
The servants on the ground immediately became alert.
But when I saw that figure, I wasn't too worried.
But they still stand guard beside the lake.
That was a shuttle.
It bears the emblem of the Order of the Saints.
The shuttle landed smoothly, and the hatch opened.
Several beautiful figures dressed in saintly robes walked down.
"You old woman, you really know how to enjoy life."
Someone came here to enjoy life, leaving us with this mess.
"Do you know that the Holy Maiden Society has been in complete chaos lately?"
"How about we both hide here?"
Those trivial matters are none of our business.
The War Saintess looked at the several old friends who had suddenly come to visit.
Among them, one is also a titled saintess, and the other two are great saintesses.
She had a good relationship with all three of them.
“I have been deprived of my rights.”
Where else can I go if I don't stay here?
Or are you three here to arrest me?
Has the Holy Maiden's judgment on me been handed down yet?
"Is it permanent imprisonment or the death penalty?" The War Saintess asked with a calm smile, as if she were talking about something that didn't concern her personally.
"Are you kidding me? Death penalty?"
"Unless you, old woman, betray the Holy Maiden Society, even if you spread the news that those old women are dating male models, no one will dare to sentence you to death," a young woman joked.
"Are those girls really dating male models?" another seemingly innocent saintess asked in surprise, as if she were hearing this news for the first time.
"Alright, you two, stop talking about these unrelated things."
"We didn't come here just to chat." The titled saintess looked at the two of them helplessly.
He probably regrets bringing his two lovable clowns along as persuaders.
She looked at the war saintess who seemed to be swimming freely in the lake like a fish.
"war.
I've come to ask you to go back.
Our Holy Maidens Society is in dire straits right now; it is arguably the most dangerous time since the founding of our Holy Maidens Civilization.
You're right.
During this period, the military strength of the Dragon Star Empire is rapidly recovering.
Their T7 starships are being mass-produced at an increasingly rapid pace.
Last time, only a few dozen ships appeared on the battlefield.
If this continues, we might face hundreds of ships next time!
In addition, there are messages sent back by our undercover agents planted in the Dragon Star Empire.
It's possible... it's possible that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has developed a second mass-produced T7 interstellar warship, but so far we have no accurate information about this second mass-produced T7 interstellar warship.
Regardless, this demonstrates that the Dragon Star Empire is making rapid progress in the field of T7 technology.
After several discussions with the other two divine messenger civilizations.
They've all decided they can no longer let the Dragon Star Empire go unchecked.
We must eliminate the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, our greatest threat, as quickly as possible.
The War Saintess lay supine on the lake's surface, where the water shimmered.
She said with a smile, "Now you know it's time to make a move?"
I said before that we should have made a final decision in the Jade Dragon Universe, so why did you keep ordering me to withdraw my troops?
Do you regret it now? Do you realize it's too late?
This caused you to waste more than a year of your time.
You might think that a year or so is not a long time.
But then came the time to prepare for and launch another war.
Then another year will pass.
Two years!
Two years is nothing to other interstellar civilizations, and it's nothing to the conqueror civilization either.
However, for the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire...
Two years is enough time for them to grow to a higher level.
Previously, I thought that our Holy Maiden Civilization and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire were at most a 60/40 split.
Don't get me wrong, they're the six, and we're the four.
"Right now, relying solely on our Saintess Civilization and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire, I believe the odds are 0-10."
10-0?
The three saintesses were somewhat taken aback when they heard this number.
They knew that the Dragon Star Empire was very powerful now, if the intelligence was accurate.
The Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has mastered the technology for its second mass-produced T7 interstellar warship. Once it rolls off the production line and enters service, its strength will be elevated to another level.
However, they did not think it was as bad as 10/10.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, the War Saintess sneered, "Look at your expressions now."
You still don't believe it.
Even you don't believe it, do you think those foolish women of the Holy Maiden Society would believe it?
No, they haven't completely given up hope yet.
Even if what you said is true.
But this time, it is the combined efforts of our three divine civilizations.
Both the Enforcer Civilization and the Soul Apostle Civilization have stated their willingness to deploy their full forces.
Jointly attack the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
In this way, we can assemble at least five billion interstellar warships!
Five billion interstellar warships.
When I heard this number.
The War Saintess's expression softened slightly.
But she still coldly said, "Five billion interstellar warships."
In my opinion, at best they're only on par with the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
