Dragon Star System - T4 Reborn-class Clone Starship

This interstellar warship was kept secret from its construction to its commissioning.

Very few people know that such a starship exists, and to date, only Zhao Chen is fully aware of its functions.

Even the crew members working on it didn't know what kind of interstellar warship they were working on.

At that moment, a slight ripple appeared on the previously ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) silent holographic screen within the starship's terminal processing equipment.

The screen displayed the names and information of fifteen female soldiers who had died in battle. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Life signal received from the crew member of the JF-17 Thunder fighter jet. Reception complete... Please issue instructions from highest authority..."

The T4 Reborn-class clone starship is special; it can only proceed with the next step of the operation with Zhao Chen's personal permission.

At this moment, although Zhao Chen's heart had also flown back to the Xiaolong Galaxy, he still had to finish dealing with the matters at hand first.

Serpent Galaxy

"In this battle, because we did not set up defenses on other planets except for the Serpent King Fortress, the enemy fleet came directly towards our Serpent King Fortress to fight us."

Therefore, apart from the battle itself, no other losses were caused.

In this battle, our Starfleet lost 6,000 Starships, not counting other Starships that were damaged in scattered locations.

"Only ten thousand interstellar warships remain combat-ready," Medusa said to Zhao Chen opposite her.

This is a virtual network conference room.

Zhao Chen sat in the main seat, with Lilith and Charlotte sitting on either side of him.

The other two are Medusa of the Snake-People tribe and Red Rose, the head of the Thorn Group.

"Although we won this battle."

But the crisis in the Reef region is not over yet.

As Medusa said before, our only way is to unify the Reef Sector and then join the Galactic Federation as an independent entity.

"This is the only way to protect ourselves right now," Zhao Chen said.

Medusa nodded in agreement. Compared to the civil war in the Reef Starfield, the greater pressure actually came from the regular armies of the two great empires, which were the real interstellar fleets!

It's not something that the half-baked Reef Starfield can match.

"The regular army of the Starshine Empire is relatively close to the Reef Starfield, only a three-day journey away, but for some reason their speed has been slowing down."

On the contrary, the Warhammer Starfleet, which is farther away from the Reef Starfield, has been accelerating its approach to the Reef Starfield and is expected to arrive within a week! "Red Rose said from the side.

"Miss Red Rose seems to know quite a lot." Zhao Chen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with interest.

Red Rose smiled charmingly and said softly, "We businessmen, especially those in places like the Reef Starfield..."

Naturally, one must have one's own methods for intelligence gathering, otherwise, one won't even know how they died.

Zhao Chen nodded in agreement.

The reason why the Battle of Snake King Fortress went so smoothly was...

One reason is the powerful interstellar warship system of the JF-17 fleet.

On the other hand, it was also because of the intelligence system established by T3 Silver Rat that the enemy fleet had no secrets from Zhao Chen.

"So what are your thoughts on what's next?" Zhao Chen posed this question to Medusa and Red Rose.

Medusa said helplessly, "Originally, we were thinking of taking advantage of the fact that the Starshine Faction Starfleet and the Warhammer Faction Starfleet were both exhausted and trying to seize a chance."

But who would have thought that we would end up becoming the target of everyone's criticism?

The battle at Serpent King Fortress disrupted all the established procedures.

What happened next completely slipped out of our control.

We...don't know what to do next.

Red Rose, on the other hand, looked at Zhao Chen and said with seductive eyes, "My lord, you are now the leader of the independence faction. I think you should have made proper arrangements and plans."

We will naturally follow your will.

This woman is very smart.

Zhao Chen had a clear assessment of this red rose in his mind.

Compared to Medusa's strong female character, this Red Rose is more like Li Yaqi, but Li Yaqi is too naive.

As a fellow businesswoman, Li Yaqi's thoughts were like those of a kindergarten child when faced with Red Rose.

Medusa also realized what was happening and looked at Zhao Chen.

According to the previous agreement, Zhao Chen's intervention this time also means that the independence faction will join Zhao Chen's system.

In this battle, Zhao Chen has demonstrated his abilities and methods, and he is fully qualified to contend for the throne of the Dark Reef Starfield.

“If I can protect the Reef Starfield, then what we agreed on before...” Zhao Chen squinted at the two women in front of him.

Red Rose placed her hand on her chest and said respectfully, "As long as you can fulfill your promise, my Thorn Group will be your most loyal subordinate!"

This woman is very decisive.

Medusa hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "As long as the safety of my people can be guaranteed... I'm willing..."

Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he made a gesture to Charlotte beside him.

Charlotte began, “Our plan is to first take control of the Reef Sector before the regular armies of the two empires arrive.”

That means we need to get this done within three days!

However, considering the Starshine Empire's unusually fast marching speed, we can estimate this time to be at least seven days later, which is the time it will take for the Warhammer Faction's starfleet to arrive.

"Don't even mention three days... seven days would be too rushed," Medusa said with some concern.

Charlotte continued, "Our idea is that all fleets should rest for a day."

The next day, they launched an expedition against several forces in the Dark Reef Starfield that supported the Starshine Faction, aiming to eliminate those forces as quickly as possible.

Then, they turned their attention to several interstellar factions that supported the Warhammer faction.

“What if... the two great empires exert pressure while we are taking these steps?” Medusa asked.

“Then let’s fight!” Charlotte said bluntly.

"Fight the regular armies of two great empires?" Medusa was startled.

Lilith added from the side, "Although both empires want to control the Reef Starfield, their target this time is not only the Reef Starfield, but also many other targets."

The fleet dispatched to take over the Reef Starfield was actually quite small.

Zhao Chen tapped his fingers on the edge of the table and said calmly, "To gain people's recognition, you need strength."

Strength is earned through fighting.

Moreover, these are several empires; only if you possess the strength to command their respect can you have the right to exist independently.

Red Rose's eyes lit up. Her new 'master' was truly courageous and daring to think and act.

He also possesses a powerful interstellar fleet.

Perhaps, he really can make the Reef Starfield a special existence.
