After climbing out of the medical pod, Leona immediately brought up a mirror to check her reflection.

My face, which was originally swollen like a pig's head, has finally recovered and I can show my face in public now.

"Your Highness, your injuries this time are quite severe."

He has thirty-nine fractures, including three comminuted fractures, three internal organ ruptures, and two major hemorrhages...

If this were an ordinary dragon warrior, he would probably be dead by now.

"What happened to you?" the attending physician asked curiously.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

"Don't say things you shouldn't say." Leona glared fiercely at her attending physician.

The attending physician immediately shut his mouth, realizing that he had gone too far with his question.

He was also very curious about who could have injured the princess so badly.

Leona walked out of the infirmary with a gloomy face, and her adjutant, who was waiting outside, immediately followed.

"Your Highness, have your injuries fully healed?"

"Do you need to rest a little longer?" the adjutant asked with concern.

Leona stopped and stared at her adjutant, saying coldly, "Remember, this matter must not be told to anyone."

"You know what to do if anyone dares to say a word."

The adjutant trembled and nodded obediently to show that he understood.

Leona continued walking, asking as she went, "How's the handover going?"

"The handover of 400 billion Star Coins is 70% complete, and the remaining 30% will be completed in ten minutes."

"But what they're asking for is 410 billion star coins, 10 billion more than that... They also said that if we have any questions, we can ask you directly." The adjutant looked at Princess Leona with a puzzled expression.

Princess Leona shuddered, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

She stopped again, took a deep breath, took out a crystal card from her pocket, and handed it to her adjutant: "This is my account, with a savings of 10 billion star coins."

Forward this to the Dragon Squad.

"Okay...okay." The adjutant was curious as to why she would have to pay an extra 10 billion, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She could only obediently accept the crystal card containing 10 billion star coins.

But she noticed that the princess was holding the crystal card firmly, showing no intention of letting go.

“Princess...” The adjutant looked at Leona in surprise.

"Take it..." Leona said, but her eyes were still reluctant to leave her crystal card.

That was her secret stash of money.

This is the little savings she has painstakingly accumulated over the years.

I never imagined that I would have to give it away to that damned man for nothing.

The thought of all this made her feel like her heart was bleeding.

In the end, the adjutant drew the crystal card from the princess's hand.

At that moment, Leona felt as if a piece of her heart had been emptied.

"There is one more thing."

When we tried to return using the stargate of the first star system in the Black Tiger Starfield, the stargate management demanded that we pay a usage fee...

As you know, the Dragonkin's 10th Fleet has 30,000 interstellar warships, all of which are combat-type interstellar warships.

"This usage fee isn't cheap," the adjutant whispered.

Leona clenched her fists, the cunning man's smile flashing before her eyes.

That guy is a shrewd businessman! A money-grubber!

“Let my dear uncle pay for this!” Leona said through gritted teeth.

Her uncle couldn't afford the ransom of over 400 billion.

However, his uncle's secret stash should be able to cover the cost of using the stargate.

In short, don't expect her to spend another penny now.

"Also, please tell my dear uncle."

I am very concerned about his safety, so please make sure he comes to see me. Leona said this in an unfriendly tone.

The adjutant still didn't understand what this meant.

Leona added, "When my uncle came, he took me straight to the dueling arena."

She suffered a severe beating and bled profusely.

It's all because of this uncle, how could Leona not find a chance to vent her anger?

“Achoo.” Robert’s body trembled. He looked at his niece’s fleet in the distance and felt a deep sense of affection.

Finally, I can leave this awful place.

At the same time, he also received an invitation from his niece.

See, it's my niece who cares about me the most, and even asked me to go over there.

After the Dragonkin 10th Fleet left the Black Tiger Starfield, the situation in the Warhammer Star Federation suddenly calmed down.

Although in private, each tribal fleet is accelerating the construction and procurement of its own interstellar warships.

However, there was no open fighting whatsoever.

This lasted for a full month.

Time flies, and it's already the end of August.

Although no conflict broke out during this period, to outsiders, it felt like a bigger storm was brewing.

The longer this calm lasts, the bigger the storm that will follow.

During this time, Zhao Chen was not idle either.

Privately, he had already signed contracts with several major tribes.

The first group included the Spider Queen tribe and the Harpy tribe. The Spider Queen Elise didn't even appear when the contract was signed; instead, she delegated all authority to her subordinates.

As for herself...

They are currently at the industrial base in the Xiaolong system, immersed in the manufacturing of new technologies, and have long forgotten about home.

After that, the second batch of people who signed contracts with Zhao Chen were the Fox Clan, the Frostwolf Clan, the Siren Clan, and the Bear Clan.

As for the neutral factions, the Golden Leopard Clan and the Hound Clan, they have been in a state of flux.

Judging from their posture, they are preparing to observe the next phase of the battle before deciding which side to take.

Zhao Chen didn't pay any attention to this.

Anyway, once we put 'collars' on these lackeys, they'll still have to work for us obediently.

As long as they have the 'gun' in their hands, they will fawn over them.

During this time, Zhao Chen also received some good news.

The first T5 Creator starship has been completed and is currently undergoing sea trials.

It is expected to be officially put into use as early as the beginning of September.

Lilith has already begun planning nearly one hundred planets in the Xiaolong system as the first batch of planets to be terraformed this year.

By then, the prosperity of the Dragon Galaxy will reach an unbelievable level!

However, compared to the completion of the T5 Creator starship.

Zhao Chen was more concerned about another child.

According to the information reported by Annie, this child will also be decommissioned within the next month.

As for why it was so fast, it must be said that the Spider Queen's operational skills were quite strong.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chen had also issued a secret order to the Xiaolong Galaxy well in advance.

This secret order is closely related to the child who is about to be born.
