1651 Civil War

Dong Fang flew over at a speed Chu Nan had never seen before and hugged him before shouting.

“I knew you wouldn’t die so easily! That’s great!”

Chu Nan finally broke free from his overly enthusiastic embrace and glanced at the group of people walking over behind Dong Fang. He discovered that their faces were also filled with shock as they looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

In addition, from the clothes of those people, most of them clearly belonged to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. The other small group had the symbol of the Seres Security Company on them. It seemed that they were with Dong Fang.

“Hey, Dong Fang, why are you here? Also, the person who fought with you just now should be from the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance, right? Why did you fight them here?”

“It’s a long story. Tell me how you survived first?” Dong Fang waved his hand and still looked at Chu Nan excitedly.

Chu Nan rolled his eyes.

“There’s even less for me to say. In short, my cultivation method is special and I won’t die so easily. Come, tell me what’s going on here first?”

Seeing that Chu Nan did not seem to plan to elaborate, Dong Fang nodded and did not ask further.

“It’s very simple. Because those fellows from the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance have attacked. In order to restrict them to the Sapphire Star Field first, we cooperated with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to fight them. Apart from here, the Sapphire Star Field is filled with the fleet of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance. To be honest, if you hadn’t suddenly appeared, we wouldn’t have been able to hold on just now. I’m discussing with Captain Klein how to retreat.”

Chu Nan turned to look at a middle-aged uncle in the uniform of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s guard team on the other side. He should be the commander of the combat fleet sent by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing Chu Nan’s gaze sweep over, he wanted him to nod and smile, “Hello, Mr. Chu. I’ve already sent the news that you’re still alive to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. I believe the Chamber of Commerce will definitely be very happy to know that you’re still alive, especially if Lord Elkart knows. He’ll definitely rush over to see you immediately.”

Chu Nan nodded and greeted him before turning to ask Dong Fang, “Why are you and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce fighting with those fellows from the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance here? Where are the people from the Declan Empire? The Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance has already come here, but they actually don’t care?”

“The Declan Empire?” Dong Fang and Captain Klein revealed strange expressions at the same time, “Heh, they can’t even take care of themselves, so how can they care about this?”

“Why? What’s wrong with the Declan Empire?”

“Because they’re fighting a civil war.”

“Ah?”

Under Dong Fang’s explanation, Chu Nan finally slowly understood the current situation.

About a year and a half before Earth, the royal family of the Declan Empire suddenly announced to the public that in view of His Majesty Gremayne’s own will, he had chosen to abdicate from the throne of the Declan Empire. Through the research and decision of the Declan Royal Elder Council, according to the rules of the royal family and the rules of the empire’s throne inheritance law, they elected Prince Lekas to take over and become the new emperor of the Declan Empire.

Then, a large-scale protest erupted in the Declan Empire, indicating that His Majesty Gremayne had not personally announced his abdication. Prince Lekas’s throne had come from an illegitimate source, and there was clearly a conspiracy. Some people even directly accused him of secretly joining forces with the Elder Council to kill His Majesty.

After two months of argument, a rebellion began to erupt in the Declan Empire. The great nobles everywhere supported the descendants of the royal family who originally had the inheritance to inherit the throne and refused to acknowledge the orthodoxy of Prince Lekas’s throne.

Therefore, a civil war erupted.

The Declan Empire was too vast, and because of political factors, the various nobles under them had extremely powerful autonomy and armed forces. The inheritance process of Prince Lekas’s throne was indeed suspicious and lacked the support of many of the Declan Empire’s military. Therefore, although Prince Lekas led the royal guards ordered by the Elder Council to have the advantage in absolute strength, it was extremely difficult to completely calm the chaos.

There was chaos in the Declan Empire. Just as the battle was at a stalemate, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance suddenly moved.

Three months after the civil war erupted, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance suddenly sent three full fleets to forcefully pass through the cross-spiral arm stargate and jump into the Orion Arm Sapphire Star Field.

Coupled with the more than a hundred powerful Star-Grade Martial Artists sent by the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance, it only took less than four months to approach occupying the entire Sapphire Star Field. At the same time, they continuously added troops to the Sapphire Star Field and stationed more Star-Grade Martial Artists.

After occupying the Sapphire Star Field, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance expanded. The countries neighboring the Sapphire Star Field on the Orion Arm were all threatened. Among them, the United States of Melaita was the most threatened and suffered the strongest attack. Although they were encouraged to resist, it was still difficult to resist the powerful attack of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance. Up until now, three star systems had actually been occupied, and the cosmic territory of more than a hundred light-years had been occupied.

Although the Earth Federation was more than a thousand light-years away from the Sapphire Star Field, because the Kingdom of Kexley, which was closer to the Sapphire Star Field, had only fought for a week before announcing a complete surrender, it was now under the control of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance, causing the Earth Federation to be threatened and had already begun to prepare to resist the invasion.

Of course, if not for the Noctem Chamber of Commerce gradually providing a large amount of help to the various countries outside the Orion Arm after the war began, especially the Earth Federation, they would have long been completely occupied like the Kingdom of Kexley.

After hearing Dong Fang’s explanation, Chu Nan could not help but be stunned.

What the heck?!

Although his physical rebirth had taken a long time, it had only been two years. Why did the situation of the entire Milky Way change so exaggeratedly?!

Prince Lekas had actually ascended the throne? The Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance had actually invaded the Orion Arm again? The Kresh Kingdom had already defected?

What the heck was this?!

Even Chu Nan’s powerful brain that was equivalent to an A.I. still fell silent for a few seconds after receiving such shocking information.

Then, he suddenly thought of a problem.

“That’s not right. Since the Sapphire Star Field has been occupied by those fellows from the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance, how did you come here?”

Dong Fang and Captain Klein looked at each other. Captain Klein nodded at Dong Fang before he turned to look at Chu Nan with a strange expression.

“It’s your credit that we were able to break through the seal of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance from the outside and come here.”

“Ah?”

Chu Nan was even more puzzled.
