Charlotte sat in the captain's chair, waiting for the stargate of the T4 Radiant-class interplanetary warp ship, ship number 06, to open.

In this military operation, in addition to three T4 Suzaku-class medium interstellar cruisers, the commander also specially arranged four T4 Huiguang-class interstellar warp ships for her.

In this way, even if a single ship has a week to reset its core program after using the stargate, it will be enough for Charlotte to deal with any situation.

If necessary, it can also return to the Leo system.

This time, she brought a full 30,000 JF-17 series interstellar warships.

Although the vast majority of them are T2 class, there are quite a few T2 Lion King class heavy interplanetary missile ships among them!

These were certainly not gifts from Zhao Chen for free.

Instead, after Chief Ted emptied his coffers, Zhao Chen created this legion fleet for Charlotte at a cost of selling it to her.

As for the name "Dragon Tiger Legion," it was Charlotte herself who suggested the change.

Besides that, there was something else those revolutionary army commanders didn't know.

In a secluded spot some distance away in this cosmic expanse, a dimly lit stargate stands tall!

T3 Moon-class Stargate!

Half a year ago, when Zhao Chen returned to the Lion King Star System with his men, he arranged for several interstellar industrial ships to find a suitable location and then build this stargate.

This stargate is very well hidden, and its purpose is self-evident.

It facilitates the movement of Charlotte's Dragon Tiger Legion fleet between the two locations, and also allows for the replenishment of strategic logistical supplies when necessary.

If Charlotte can establish herself in the Warhammer Starfleet Union in the future, this place can also become a 'base'.

Getting back to the main point, the most important thing now is the current crisis facing the revolutionary army.

...

Leo Galaxy

Looking at the Moon-class stargate of the Lion King Galaxy in front of him, Zhao Chen felt as if he could see Charlotte on the other side.

“You’re still worried about General Charlotte,” Lilith, the secretary beside the commander, said.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not worried, it's been more than two years."

"Even with this big white cat so far away, I still feel a kind of anxiety, like a father watching his daughter go on a long trip," Zhao Chen said helplessly.

Lilith covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

She blinked and looked at Zhao Chen: "Commander, if I were to carry out such a mission, would you be worried about me?"

“Of course,” Zhao Chen said without hesitation.

Lilith didn't say anything more, but her little tail kept circling happily behind her.

Just then, Lilith received a message.

She glanced at it, then looked at Zhao Chen: "Commander, Medusa requests to see you."

"Then let's connect it." Zhao Chen assumed it was a video call.

“No, she’s already outside in the shuttle. She wants to see you,” Lilith explained.

Medusa suddenly wants to see me?

This surprised Zhao Chen.

"Since she's here, let her in," Zhao Chen said.

A short while later, Medusa arrived at the bridge. The moment she saw Zhao Chen on the captain's chair, she suddenly leaned forward and knelt on the ground.

"Commander."

Zhao Chen was startled by this sudden action: "What are you doing? Get up!"

"I have a rather impolite request, and I hope Commander will grant it!" Medusa looked at Zhao Chen with her serpentine eyes, a hint of determination in them.

“Stand up and speak,” Zhao Chen said.

Medusa slowly rose to her feet and said, "I would like to request to join the Dragon Squad."

ah?

Zhao Chen was stunned; he hadn't expected Medusa to make such a request.

"You want to join the Dragon Legion? What made you suddenly have such an idea? You should know that you are now the ruler of the Reef Starfield," Zhao Chen said.

"I am willing to give up my current identity. You can choose someone else to be the ruler of the Reef Starfield."

Alternatively, I can resign as the chieftain of the snake people.

"I only hope you can let me join the Dragon Legion! Even if it's just starting as a lowly interstellar soldier!" Medusa looked stubbornly at Zhao Chen.

"Tell me your reasons first." Zhao Chen could tell that Medusa must have some kind of story.

Medusa took a deep breath and said, "I will seek revenge."

"Revenge? Who?"

"The Holy and Glorious Empire!"

Zhao Chen looked at Medusa in surprise. Although she was the chieftain of the snake people, compared with the Holy Radiant Empire, she was insignificant.

To be realistic, for the Holy Radiant Empire, crushing the Serpent People would be as easy as crushing an insect.

Medusa began to tell her story.

It turns out that the Serpent People were not originally in the Reef Starfield, but in a small star system on the border of the Holy Radiant Empire. They were not very wealthy, but at least they could be self-sufficient.

The snake people established their own snake-people royal palace there.

In the beginning, they maintained good diplomatic relations with the Holy Radiant Empire.

But one day, news broke that a special raw material had been discovered in the galaxy where the Snake People Kingdom was located.

The Holy Radiant Empire simply found a pretext and launched an attack on the Serpent Kingdom.

In just three days, all the interstellar warships within the Snake People Kingdom were destroyed.

There was even a planet that, due to the fierce resistance of the Serpent People on the planet, was ultimately subjected to orbital bombardment by the Holy Radiant Empire's fleet.

"They bombed for a whole day! Nearly three billion snake people on the planet were all killed." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

That planet will be uninhabitable for the next few thousand years. Medusa clenched her fists, and the small snakes on her head hissed angrily.

It's clear that she's suppressing her anger very well.

Medusa's pupils even became bloodshot, turning an eerie red.

"My parents are from the royal family of the snake people, which is called princes in your local terms."

He eventually led a small fleet and escaped with a group of snake people.

They eventually drifted to the Reef Starfield, where they settled and developed into the current Serpent People.

My parents passed away more than ten years ago.

My father cursed the Holy Glorious Empire until his death.

My mother would gaze in the direction of the Snake People Kingdom every day.

"I will never forget the scene of my people and my kingdom being slaughtered!" Medusa said angrily.

"Then what does this have to do with you joining the Dragon Legion?" Zhao Chen asked, puzzled.

Medusa looked at Zhao Chen: "I heard that you are going to intervene in those unclaimed star systems. I guess the Holy Radiant Empire will not miss this opportunity."

I know that I could never avenge the enemy nation of the Holy Light on my own in this lifetime.

Therefore, I want to join the Dragon Legion.

If one day in the future you are to go to war with the Holy Radiant Empire, I hope you will place me on the front lines!

Medusa looked at Zhao Chen pleadingly.

At this moment, Zhao ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Chen felt that the person standing in front of him was not a snake-woman queen, but a little snake-woman girl who had witnessed the invasion and destruction of her homeland when she was a child.

At this moment, Medusa's eyes were fierce and filled with murderous intent.

But Zhao Chen seemed to see in the eyes of that little snake girl, filled with incomprehension, fear, and dread.
