One after another, Zhalan civilization warships erged from the warp bubble, entering the gravity well of the Holy Star. In the Third Universe's Snow Dragon Galaxy, over a thousand warships already represented an exceptionally formidable force.
As the Fleet Commander, Lan Li, a Zhalan individual of particularly large stature, had a body as large as a cal's. Watching the Silver Feather Army's Unicorn Warships lined up in orbit around Holy Star, Lan Li said with a sneer to i Suli beside him, "After a thousand years of restriction, the Silver Feather Army poses no threat. Just a few dozen warships, though technologically advanced, are not enough. Limited by treaties, Holy Star cannot extensively build defensive facilities, and with such a setup, they won't be able to stop our invincible fleet."
i Suli nodded in agreent, "Indeed, the fruit has ripened, and it's ti for us to pick it."
"The Silver Feather Army is the most detached fiefdom under the Royal Court. Those foolish Primates have a Chancellor whom they worship like a deity, but that hasn't seed to bring them any benefit. It's precisely because of this Chancellor that the Silver Feather Army refuses to truly pledge allegiance to the Royal Court, which is why they've been a thorn in the side of successive Royal Courts. Since the Silver Feather Army is determined to die for their Chancellor, who may not have even existed, then let them die," Lan Li stated as a matter of fact.
In fact, the Zhalan civilization had no intention of allowing the Silver Feather Army to continue existing. Forty million troops of the Silver Feather Army had such strong cohesion that even if disbanded, they could potentially beco a hidden threat. Therefore, the Zhalan civilization was determined to completely resolve this issue.
"Prepare for the invasion," Lan Li said full of confidence, his snail-like eyes lifting in anticipation of an easy victory.
On the other side, the newly appointed Knight of Destiny and Governor of the Silver Feather Army, Qi Xiao, was also on the flagship of the Silver Feather Fleet, gazing at the Zhalan civilization fleet against the backdrop of the star sea.
"Once, such a fleet seed suffocating," said Qi Xiao with a hint of jest in his tone.
Left Servant Shooter Zhu Xie laughed as well, "Our ancestors once operated a grand fleet of over two thousand warships, and now His Majesty controls five strategic fleet groups. The Iridium Star United Empire, which is awaiting launch, has as many as a million warships at its disposal. A civilization like Zhalan's is not even worthy of our attention anymore."
Despite the impending battle, Qi Xiao's thoughts were on the future. He said, "In the future, I may not be able to primarily take charge of the Silver Feather Army's affairs. The Knight of Destiny must command the Empire's Army for His Majesty, and I have already petitioned His Majesty to make the Silver Feather Army one of the Military Lords and for you to succeed as the Governor-level Commander of the Silver Feather Army."
Zhu Xie was surprised, waving his hands, "I fear such a great responsibility might be too much for ."
Qi Xiao laughed, "You and Gong Yan have far more experience than , a young Governor, and have perford remarkably well. There's no problem with you taking on the role of Governor. Our Silver Feather Army is full of soldiers with an abundant source of troops. Once the Chancellor has incorporated our technological advancents, he will create a new batch of Unicorn Warships for us. Then our Silver Feather Army can beco the strongest among the five Military Lords."
Excited, Zhu Xie nodded vigorously, "I will certainly not let you down."
Qi Xiao looked ahead, quietly saying, "The battle should be starting about now."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two massive wormholes suddenly appeared to the left and right behind the Zhalan civilization fleet. Within monts, swarms of insectoid ships poured out of them, like beasts scrambling for their prey, pouncing toward the Zhalan fleet.
Qi Xiao imdiately ordered, "Full fleet charge!"
Afterward, he turned back to Zhu Xie with a smile, "If we don't make a move now, for all we know, the Zhalan people might be wiped out in the blink of an eye. If by then, we return to the Chancellor without any battle achievents, that would be rather embarrassing."
At this mont, Bai Zhongqi wasn't even paying attention to the battle. Huang Quan, who had been temporarily promoted by him, had beco the commander of this fight. It was Huang Quan's first ti commanding such a battle, and his emotions surged. However, he was also well aware that this was essentially a battle he could win with his eyes closed.
Jun Jiushao and Taschwe also stood by the side of this old comrade, providing him with strong support.
Taschwe laughed heartily, "Jiushao, how long do you think this battle will take?"
Jun Jiushao spoke in an even tone. Although she was in uniform, her black hair fell like a cascade, giving her an ethereal appearance. She said, "Seven or eight minutes."
Hearing this, Huang Quan smiled wryly, "Thank you for having even more confidence in than I do."
Jun Jiushao said without politeness, "With ten tis the enemy's troops and several tis their firepower, if you can't resolve this in more than ten minutes, I'm afraid you're not suitable to lead troops into battle as a Knight of Destiny."
Those words choked Huang Quan up, making Taschwe laugh out loud.
However, the fact proved that no matter how Huang Quan deployed his troops, the battle would not last long. Judging by the civilization rankings in the Second Universe, the Zhalan Civilization's warships were at most level 23. These warships could hardly withstand a single volley from the Swarm's warships. Not only would their shields be destroyed, but their armor would also fail, and being wiped out in one go was no issue at all.
Bai Zhongqi, after receiving the report, couldn't help but laugh. The ti it took for Huang Quan, the commander of the Second Strategic Fleet Group, to erge from the wormhole and get within firing range was longer than the ti it actually took to annihilate the enemy with gunfire.
Following this, Bai Zhongqi no longer needed the involvent of the Silver Feather Army, nor was he in a hurry to exterminate the Zhalan Civilization. At this ti, he was more eager to reboot the First Universe. There was still one last Knight awaiting his call, and he was curious about who it would be.
At this mont, Bai Zhongqi was on Earth. Since the Supre Command had been destroyed, all of Earth's systems were no longer restrained. However, precisely because of concerns that level S artificial intelligence could beco a natural disaster, Bai Zhongqi had halted all high-level artificial intelligence and bionic human manufacturing on Earth.
At this stage, the highest level of artificial intelligence allowed for production was only level C, which could not even mimic personalities. Iridium Star had already confird that level C artificial intelligence would not develop autonomous consciousness, so there was no worry of rebellion. Yet, this level was already more than capable of assisting humans in their daily lives and could recognize complex patterns and perform autonomous work just like humans.
Bai Zhongqi specially crafted a bionic human body not loaded with artificial intelligence, allowing the final Controller, Shenaita, to enter this body. Shenaita chose a female form, yet did not assign herself an outstanding face or figure, appearing very ordinary.
Similarly, Bai Zhongqi intended for her to guide out the other personalities within Xu Lanzhou's body.
