“A fleet from the White Chrysanthemum Star System? Why would they be here?” Qiao Rong Rong said in puzzlement from the side.
Sun He crossed his arms, his expression cold: “I think we’ll know the reason for their arrival soon enough.”
He had a hunch that the White Chrysanthemum fleet had come for him.
Otherwise, who would come to this godforsaken place?
“What do we do now?” Tang Yuan asked seriously.
“Wait and see, and have all the combat personnel prepare for battle,” Sun He said.
“Yes.” Tang Yuan clenched her fist, a sense of unease settling over her.
Then, the two Squirrel-class supply ships and the Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship retreated to the rear of the fleet, into the atmosphere of the resource planet.
The defensive forces here had been basically wiped out, and the three auxiliary starships were relatively safe here.
“Report, there is an unknown communication request to connect with us,” reported the female communications officer.
“Here it comes,” Sun He smirked, as if he had expected it: “Connect it.”
“Yes.”
A communication channel then appeared before Sun He.
On the other end of the channel was a woman in military uniform, with a face full of flesh and her left eye entirely missing. She looked very ferocious.
“Geng Jiao!” Tang Yuan and Qiao Rong Rong exclaimed in unison when they saw her.
“Seems like someone knows me. Then I guess there’s no need for introductions,” Geng Jiao looked coldly at Sun He: “So it’s a man after all. You’re the male captain of the Qing Yuan Fleet, right?”
Sun He looked questioningly at Tang Yuan and Qiao Rong Rong beside him. They both knew this person, but he had no memory of her.
A big name, perhaps?
It was also the fault of the original owner of this body, who had basically no knowledge of current events during his studies.
Tang Yuan silently walked to Sun He's side, lowering her voice: “This Geng Jiao is the commander of one of the three main battle fleets of the Jin Mian Church, one of the second-rate forces in the Galactic Alliance!
She even commanded a large-scale battle involving thousands of starships. During one battle, she used nearly 3 billion native inhabitants of dozens of planets as hostages to defeat her opponent, which earned her a reputation for cruelty throughout the Alliance.
Her ruthless tactics are outstanding even among the many commanders in the Galactic Alliance.
And she also received the title of three-star admiral from the Alliance for her valiant achievements!”
Hearing Tang Yuan’s introduction, Sun He saw three shining golden star badges on the woman’s chest, confirming it.
“Hey, I don’t like people chattering in front of me,” Geng Jiao said, her tone very aggressive.
“What do you want?” Sun He asked directly.
“The technology for this Xionglong-class interstellar fighter is in your hands, right? Hand it over. And the 2 million units of crystal ore you obtained, hand it over, not a single unit less,” Geng Jiao held up a picture of a black fighter jet.
It was clearly the Xionglong-class interstellar fighter.
Tang Yuan and Qiao Rong Rong’s pupils dilated, and they immediately became nervous.
They were indeed coming for them, and for the T3 Xionglong-class interstellar fighter.
And they even mentioned the 2 million units of crystal ore!
Wasn’t this exactly the condition Sun Li had discussed with them?
“So it’s you that Sun Li found as her new backer. I was wondering how she could easily get 2 million units of crystal ore,” a previous question was now answered.
Sun He narrowed his eyes, looking at Geng Jiao in front of him: “Sorry, I’ve already spent the 2 million units of crystal ore you want.
As for the technology for the Xionglong-class interstellar fighter, why should I give it to you?
Who do you think you are?”
Who do you think you are?
These words echoed in their ears.
Tang Yuan and Qiao Rong Rong both looked at Captain Sun He in surprise.
Geng Jiao laughed in anger, she looked at Sun He with a playful smile: “Is that your answer?”
“Yes,” Sun He smiled back.
Clap, clap, clap, clap
Geng Jiao clapped her hands, then looked at Sun He coldly with murderous intent: “Very good, very good. You’re one of the few men I’ve met who has backbone.
But men who act like this in front of me usually don’t end well.”
With that, the video call cut off.
“Captain,” Tang Yuan and Qiao Rong Rong looked anxiously at Sun He.
Sun He looked at the two women: “What? Was there something wrong with what I said?”
Tang Yuan hesitated.
Qiao Rong Rong worriedly said: “Captain, I know you’re not happy with that woman, and I’m not happy with her attitude either.
But… she’s backed by the Jin Mian Church, one of the second-rate forces in the Galactic Alliance, directly controlling a total of seventeen star systems.
Just their three most famous main battle fleets alone, any one of them has thousands of starships!
If they want to, they can assemble nearly 10,000 starships for a single battle!”
Sun He shrugged, nonchalant: “So what? Can those starships bombard me right now? Or can they surround me right now and make me surrender with my white underwear on?”
Seeing Captain Sun He’s unconcerned look, Qiao Rong Rong felt like she was about to jump, she felt like Captain didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter.
“I know what you’re worried about. They’re interested in our Xionglong-class interstellar fighter, maybe if we hand over this technology, they’ll let us go.
But there’s also a chance they’ll continue to attack us.
Rather than put my life in the hands of others’ wishes, I’d rather go against the current,” Sun He smirked, confident.
Qiao Rong Rong stomped her feet in frustration, unable to help but tug on Tang Yuan’s sleeve, hoping she would persuade Sun He.
Tang Yuan’s expression had returned to normal from her previous worry: “Captain Sun He is now the supreme commander of our Qing Yuan fleet, his words are the orders we must obey.”
Hearing Tang Yuan’s words, Qiao Rong Rong was completely helpless.
Even Vice-Captain Tang Yuan now chose to follow Captain Sun He’s crazy actions.
“Alright, instead of worrying here, why don’t we study our opponents. Report our opponent’s combat strength.” Sun He’s eyes shone with a glimmer of light.
Soon, the three fleets appeared on the radar system one after another.
Since the three fleets were sailing openly, without any concealment, the radar system could easily lock onto their approximate positions and numbers.
Moreover, the energy levels of each starship were different, so the corresponding starships could be quickly identified from the database.
“Malsas’s two fleets are approaching us from two directions, based on the direction of their arrival, we’ll temporarily refer to them as the Left Flank Fleet and the Right Flank Fleet, while the White Chrysanthemum Fleet is the Center Flank Fleet.
The enemy ships detected on the Left Flank Fleet, one En Yu-class light interstellar cruiser, three Ishta-class heavy interstellar destroyers, and eight Ishkur-class medium interstellar escorts.
The Malsas Fleet on the Right Flank has the same number of starships.”
Qiao Rong Rong then pointed to the fleet rapidly approaching in the middle on the radar, her expression becoming serious.
“The White Chrysanthemum Fleet in the center has a total of 30 starships. Twenty Guard-class heavy interstellar escorts, seven Scythe-class heavy interstellar destroyers, two Fanatic-class medium interstellar cruisers, and their flagship.
Dominator-class heavy interstellar battle-cruiser! And except for the escorts, which are T1, the other ten are all T2.”
Suffocation!
Hearing this string of data, all the female soldiers in the bridge felt a sense of suffocation they had never experienced before.
As if a giant had grabbed their throats.
