Chapter 2032: On the Eve of the Great Battle
"Haha, even my sister thinks my suggestion makes sense!" Zhao Hu jumped up excitedly when he heard that Zhao Lili supported his idea.
"We can arrange for the Imperial Academy of Sciences to continue research in this direction." Zhao Chen didn't immediately dismiss Zhao Hu's idea, but instead had the Imperial Academy of Sciences conduct relevant research on the project.
Next, everyone discussed a few more things.
Basically, any useful suggestions were recorded by Zhao Chen and the others.
Don't let their age fool you; these three girls are still minors. Their individual talents and insights are truly remarkable in some areas.
After finishing their meal, they officially set off to prepare for their return to the Dragon Star Empire.
It was almost instantaneous.
A message rang on the handheld terminals of Zhao Chen, Lilith, and Charlotte.
Zhao Chen glanced at the handheld terminal, then looked at Zhao Bai'er and the other two: "The three of you go back to the Empire first."
Someone will arrange your life and studies afterwards.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chen and the other two hurriedly left.
Zhao Bai'er and the other two remained.
"Why are Father and Mother in such a hurry? Has something serious happened?" Zhao Hu asked curiously.
"A message that allows all three of them to receive it at the same time."
That must be very important news.
At this moment, the most likely source of information is the Three Divine Envoys.
Zhao Bai'er guessed, "If I'm not mistaken, then it should be that the Three Gods Civilization is preparing to launch a counterattack against the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."
"What? Counterattack us?"
"Now!" Zhao Hu was also startled.
"It shouldn't be now."
The Three Gods' civilization will surely prepare carefully for a period of time if it launches a counterattack against our Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
I think they must have received information about the Three Gods' civilization's plan to attack us, or some other indication.
Although these are just signs, they are enough to make the father and others take them seriously.
At this critical juncture, the Three Gods Civilization will either not start a war, or it will start a war against our Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
That would certainly surpass any war of any scale before.
And they came prepared.
Zhao Bai'er analyzed seriously, saying, "In the previous battle, although we gained the upper hand in the battle against the Holy Maiden Civilization..."
But that's because we launched a surprise attack, catching them off guard.
Furthermore, the fact that the other side was internally indecisive allowed us to seize the opportunity.
Now, if they launch an attack on us, they will definitely be well prepared.
Once this war begins, it will not end easily.
"Is it going to be another big battle?"
"It's a real pity we can't go up," Zhao Hu said with some regret.
The three siblings exchanged glances, knowing that their parents would never allow them to participate in a battle of this level so early.
They had no choice but to obediently return to the Dragon Star Empire and continue their original lives and studies.
The news of the Three Gods Civilization preparing for war against the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
It spread very quickly.
Because the three civilizations had assembled billions of interstellar warships, and their intentions were very clear, it was impossible to hide them.
Even some interstellar civilizations with limited intelligence channels received the news a few days later.
As everyone knows, the Tri-Gods Civilization is about to declare a full-scale war on the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
And they have prepared at least five billion interstellar warships.
This has drawn the attention of many people back to this place.
The mercenaries, who had finally managed to calm things down, are now envious again.
Because you should know that the bounty program issued by the Dragon Star Empire has always been in place.
However, because the Three Gods Civilization did not face any external crises during this period, it became much more difficult for them to create chaos and cause destruction.
And now, war is about to begin again.
Does that mean the opportunity to earn bounties from the Dragon Star Empire has returned?
How could this not pique their interest and draw their attention?
It's worth noting that the bounty program of the Dragon Star Empire previously made many mercenaries a fortune.
It even transformed a small interstellar mercenary group with only about thirty interstellar warships into one with over a hundred interstellar warships in a short period of time.
The number of interstellar warships has tripled, and they are all of the JF-17 series.
This is a level of development that would normally take decades to reach.
It has been completed in just one year.
It's easy to imagine how tempting these examples are when presented to you.
And now, such an opportunity is about to arise again.
Around the great battle, large numbers of vultures began to gather, ready to swoop down and pluck carrion from the chaos.
These smaller forces are paying attention, and naturally, the larger forces are also paying attention.
After all, this was the first time the Three Gods Civilization had so openly prepared for war against an interstellar civilization.
Even the conquering civilizations of the past did not receive this treatment.
"It's confirmed."
Under the leadership of the Holy Maiden Civilization, the Three Gods Civilization will inevitably launch a large-scale war against the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire in the near future.
"At least five billion interstellar warships will be mobilized." The subordinate knelt before Diablo, the God of Destruction, and reported this news.
"My lord, the Three Gods Civilization has declared war on the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire."
"Should we do anything to prepare?" a minister asked.
One minister directly expressed his thoughts.
“I think this is a great opportunity for us to get involved and cooperate with the Dragon Star Empire.”
Alternatively, they could directly attack several universes of the Tri-Gods civilization and gain control of those universes.
Just like before, the Dragon Star Empire will not allow us to be destroyed by the Tri-God Civilization.
Similarly, we will not allow the Dragon Star Empire to be destroyed by the Tri-God Civilization.
Once the Dragon Star Empire is destroyed, the Tri-God Civilization's next target will be us.
We can accept a weak and declining Jhinagon interstellar empire.
But the demise of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire is unacceptable!
No! I don't think so.
The Dragon Star Empire cannot be destroyed in the short term.
We shouldn't interfere directly now.
We should stand by and watch, reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.
We suffered heavy losses in many previous wars, and the advance on other battlefields was thus put on hold.
Our starships also require extensive replenishment and upgrades.
I believe we should seize this opportunity to properly recuperate and rebuild our lives.
This war will allow the Dragon Star Empire and the Tri-God Civilization to sustain themselves for at least three to five years.
We can just wait three years.
Over the course of these three years, we rapidly restored our starships and expanded our Star Legion fleet.
Then wait until the Tri-God Civilization and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire are both severely weakened.
If we intervene at that time, we can not only hunt down the Three Gods Civilization, but we can also swallow up the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire in one fell swoop.
Killing four birds with one stone!
By then, we will be the undisputed number one interstellar civilization among these many universes!
Soon, the ministers began to argue about these two ideas, each expressing their own opinions.
It's clear that their ultimate thoughts are largely the same: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
However, the difference lies in the timing and the extent of intervention.
Some, for the sake of caution, believed that it was not advisable to break ties with the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire so quickly.
We should deal with the Three Gods Civilization first.
However, some believe that the Three Gods Civilization and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire should be taken down in one fell swoop.
Under these two conflicting views, the two sides argued endlessly.
Diablo, the god of destruction, sat there with his eyes closed, like a stone statue.
He was also thinking about how to handle the situation.
On the other side.
The Venerable Civilization Alliance.
The four venerable masters gathered here.
The discussion naturally revolved around the Three Gods Civilization's plan to wage a full-scale war against the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
"In any case, we cannot accept the defeat of the Dragon Star Empire."
Let's not even talk about whether the Triune Civilization or the Conqueror Civilization would let us go if the Dragon Star Empire were to fall.
Can we withstand the invasion of these guys?
This includes our current trade relations with the Wyvern Star Empire and other cooperative projects.
It's growing rapidly every month.
If these problems arise, the Dragon Star Empire will perish.
Our economy and industry will also be greatly affected!
"I have emphasized before that we cannot have too close a cooperative relationship with the Dragon Star Empire."
Now look, we've already boarded the pirate ship of the Dragon Star Empire.
If we jump now, we'll be completely disoriented!
"Hehehe, now you're saying all this."
If I remember correctly, your team signed the most cooperation agreements with the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire last month!
"Alright, there's no point in arguing about this now."
The first thing that can be confirmed is that we are now on the same ship as the Dragon Star Empire.
This ship can be slower, it can be a bit broken.
But we absolutely cannot sink, at least not before we get ashore.
We cannot simply sit idly by and do nothing.
However, we cannot give it our all right away.
I believe that we can provide some military support to the Dragon Star Empire when necessary.
But it must be emphasized that this support is definitely not free.
We need to extract some benefits from the Dragon Star Empire.
After some discussion, the four high-ranking venerable ones unanimously approved this idea.
Other interstellar civilizations, however, have largely maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
After all, these are some of the most powerful figures in the world, and they are not people they can easily mess with.
In this game, most of them didn't even have the right to play.
Once they inadvertently step into the game, they could become the pieces themselves.
No one wants to become a pawn that anyone can manipulate at will.
And inside the JF-17 universe cluster.
Unlike previous external threats, this time within the Dragon Alliance, there is a greater sense of unity against external threats.
Other sounds are almost negligible.
The most common feedback was caution and warnings.
There is absolutely no intention of surrendering.
After several impressive victories in external campaigns, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire gained confidence.
They won't be so frightened by the news that the Three Gods Civilization is going to send billions of interstellar warships to invade them that they would wave a white flag and surrender.
In their view, these interstellar civilizations that could be brutally beaten by the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire were nothing special.
They now also have JF-17 series interstellar warships, although they are not the most advanced.
However, it is more than enough to deal with the conventional interstellar warships of these interstellar civilizations.
This kind of thinking even led to the emergence of some pro-war factions within the Star Alliance.
"Because everyone's thoughts are similar."
I've summarized everyone's thoughts.
Several points were established first.
First, we are not afraid of war, and we have made all the necessary preparations for it.
All parties must seize the time to prepare for this defensive battle.
All combat units have increased their training and patrol frequency.
It's not just about our homeland defense; it's also about the X-Dragon Interstellar Empire whenever it needs to.
We must also exert all our strength to fight this battle well for the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
The Dragon Star Empire will definitely not let us down.
Secondly, it is important to maintain order in various cosmic regions and to be careful not to let war lead to chaos.
Life and work continue as usual, prices remain stable, and we ensure that even if war breaks out in our universe, we remain safe unless we are in the heart of the war.
Otherwise, life will continue as usual.
Especially in the area of industrial production and interstellar transportation.
One thing is crucial: only when these systems are functioning flawlessly can our war machine continuously fire upon the enemy!
"Thirdly, I know that there must be some other ideas among us."
You can have ideas, but you're not allowed to express them or say them out loud.
The high command of all civilizations should also take note: our current unified stance is that any foreign interstellar fleet appearing here is our enemy.
The enemies of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire are our enemies!

Dragon Star Empire - Dragon Star Region
Chang'an City
Zhao Chen looked at the messages compiled by the intelligence personnel.
"Four billion to five billion interstellar warships?"
"That's right, this is only the number of interstellar warships that have been confirmed so far."
We predict that this number will continue to increase in the future.
Seven billion or eight billion is possible.
After all, this is the civilization of the Three Gods, and their potential still exists.
"We cannot afford to underestimate this," Grand Marshal Charlotte said solemnly.
"When do they plan to attack us, and where do they plan to attack?" Zhao Chen asked.
Secretary Lilith shook her head and said, "We don't know that yet."
The opposing high command did a very good job of keeping these operational plans secret.
We are currently unable to gather accurate information on this matter.
But our intelligence personnel will continue their efforts.
We will report any valuable clues immediately!
