"You said before that you joined the Beast Alliance."

Instead of my JF-17 Legion.

There's no need for me to tell you about the military deployments of my Falcon Legion.

Zhao Chen shrugged nonchalantly, then said with a slight smile, "As for the cooperation between the Dragonkin tribe and the Holy Radiant Empire..."

They were just two defeated opponents.

If I can deal with them once, I can deal with them twice.

"If we can destroy 50,000 to 60,000 of their interstellar warships, we can destroy 500,000 of their interstellar warships."

Chief Drake was not angered by this. He knew that his question had indeed crossed the line, but at the same time, he was also somewhat skeptical of the man's words.

Although his JF-17 Legion is very strong, where does he get the confidence to deal with an enemy fleet of nearly 500,000 ships?

"Alright, we've finished discussing the important matters."

"Everyone, continue eating and drinking as usual." Zhao Chen picked up his chopsticks and began to enjoy the meal.

Mermaid Chief Heina and Chief Drake exchanged a glance. Seeing that everyone else had started to sit down and enjoy their food, they didn't stand on ceremony.

The main reason is that even as the clan leader, they rarely get to enjoy these delicacies.

"Oh, right, we also have some plans and suggestions for your future development, you can take a look."

"Of course, none of this is mandatory; everything is based on your own willingness." Zhao Chen chewed on a lamb leg while gesturing to Chief Huya beside him to hand them a document.

Chief Foxya is gradually taking on the role of secretary, and in the future, most of the internal affairs of Warhammer will be handled by her.

So during this time, she would stay by Zhao Chen's side.

Chief Huya quickly sent two pre-prepared documents to the two people opposite him.

Both documents are very simple; they are just some talent recruitment plans.

They specifically recruited talent from these two tribes based on their various talents, including recruiting female Frostwolf tribesmen into the Wraith Dragon Legion and male Frostwolf tribesmen into the Dragon Tiger Legion, as Zhao Chen had just mentioned.

Drake was amazed the moment he saw them.

They had only just joined the Beast Alliance, yet General Charlotte's most elite Dragon Tiger Legion had already opened its doors to them.

He even stated that if Drake himself wished, he could directly enter the ranks and serve as the commander of a legion fleet, commanding three thousand T2-level interstellar warships and possessing a T4-level flagship!

Furthermore, after a period of assessment, there is even a chance to enter the leadership of the Dragon Tiger Legion.

Moreover, the benefits offered surpass those of the best-paying Dragonkin fleet in Warhammer, which is the Dragonkin tribe!

The salaries for skilled workers in other support industries are also very high.

Furthermore, there were a few clauses that greatly appealed to the two clan leaders.

For example, if a tribe has a high contribution value, it can be rewarded with a T4-level starship!

Or it could be a habitable planet, one that can be modified to suit different needs!

The last item really struck a chord with the mermaid clan leader, Heina.

After that, everyone ate and chatted, and before they knew it, they had finished talking about all sorts of work-related matters.

During this time, Chief Drake leaned close to his niece, watching her eat and drink heartily, and whispered, "Does your lord like to discuss matters in these kinds of settings?"

According to Chief Drake's thinking, formal meetings like this should only take place in important settings like conference rooms.

They were quite surprised when they were brought here.

I originally thought we would have dinner first and then discuss other matters.

But now it seems that the matter was discussed right there at the dinner table.

Wolf Girl Snow White swallowed the food in her mouth and said directly, "Yes, this is a custom of our Xiaolong."

Our lord said that when discussing matters with outsiders, it should be done at the negotiating table.

But when we talk business with our brothers and friends, it happens at the dinner table.

Food is the best weapon in the world to bring people closer together!

What a strange culture.

Chief Drake looked at the abundant food on the table, but he still quite liked this cultural custom, mainly because the food was really delicious!

————

It was the seventh day after Leona and Zhao Chen reached an agreement on the ransom terms.

Stargate in the First Star System of the Black Tiger Starfield

Under the 'escort' of the Dragon Legion, the 30,000 interstellar warships of the Dragonkin 10th Fleet have arrived here.

Of course, regarding the Dragonkin fleet's abandonment of its comrades, those 20,000 tribal interstellar warships were still under the control of the Wraith Dragon Legion.

Zhao Chen also allowed the tribal forces behind these interstellar warships to ransom them.

However, compared to the wealthy and powerful Dragonkin tribes, the smaller tribes could hardly come up with so much money at once and could only keep trying to negotiate with the Wraith Dragon Legion.

Inside the hangar of a T3 Beluga-class heavy interplanetary transport ship belonging to the Dragon Legion.

Zhao Chen looked at the dragon princess Leona who was getting off the shuttle.

He looked at the hostile dragon princess in front of him with slight surprise and teased, "I didn't expect you to actually come to the appointment in person."

Aren't you worried I'll detain you?

"We, the warriors of the Dragonkin tribe, will not cower in fear."

If you're the kind of person who doesn't keep promises, then you can detain me right now.

"But I will look down on you." Leona said arrogantly, her eyes full of provocation.

"Then why are you so determined to see me?"

"Could it be that she's fallen in love with me?" Zhao Chen teased.

The next second, Princess Leona flapped her wings and rushed towards Zhao Chen at an extremely fast speed.

boom

"Do not fire."

Zhao Chen spoke up.

At that moment, all the movements on site seemed to freeze.

Zhao Chen's personal guard, Leopard Girl, stood in front of him with an energy shield, while Leona, who was about to unleash a punch, was facing him.

It can be noticed that the small energy shield in the leopard woman's hand is flashing red as an alarm, which means that the attack it just suffered has already made it unable to hold on for much longer.

Meanwhile, the laser guns in the hands of the surrounding guards were all aimed at Leona.

If Zhao Chen hadn't spoken up, Leona would have been attacked by now, either dead or crippled.

I really don't know what this dragon girl is doing?

"What? Is Lord Xiaolong just a guy who likes to hide behind women?" Leona withdrew her fist, twisted her neck, and looked at Zhao Chen provocatively.

They were not afraid of the threats from the surrounding Dragon soldiers at all.

"So, you want to fight me?" Zhao Chen looked at the cautious look on the leopard woman in front of him. Her arm holding the energy shield was trembling, and her feet on the ground were also shaking.

Although the energy shield had withstood Leona's attack, the terrifying impact still put a lot of pressure on Nidalee's body.

"I heard that you previously launched a holy war duel against the Holy Radiant Empire."

I also really enjoy dueling, and we have a dueling culture in Warhammer, but not dueling between starships, but between two individual beings.

"So, do you dare to fight me?" Leona looked at Zhao Chen provocatively, completely disregarding the dangerous situation she was in.

During this time, she dreamed of beating the man in front of her, especially the way he smiled.

"What can I get if I fight you?" Zhao Chen asked casually.

Leona thought for a moment, but probably couldn't come up with anything, so she simply said, "I lost, I am your prisoner."

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "How about this?"

Your uncle's ransom was five billion stars, right?

As a princess of the Dragonkin tribe, you should be worth at least two or three hundred billion star coins.

If I lose, I will waive this portion of the ransom; if you lose, you must immediately pay your own ransom.

I don't want to keep any prisoners; judging by your appearance, you probably consume a lot of food."

"Then let's bet 10 billion star coins."

"What? You think you're only worth 10 billion star coins?"

"I only have 10 billion Star Coins."

"..."

Looking at the somewhat straightforward dragon princess in front of him, he agreed to the duel worth 10 billion star coins.
