The soldiers and horses haven't moved, but the provisions come first. Since it's decided to insert an eye here, Duanmu Huai definitely needs to find a territory. But he finds it troublesome, so he directly asks the Interstellar Peace Company where there is a galaxy that meets the Tribunal's requirements.

For Duanmu Huai to actually come directly and ask, the Interstellar Peace Company is also quite speechless... What else can they do? At least he's not here to pick a fight.

However, Duanmu Huai's request did indeed surprise the people at the Interstellar Peace Company a bit.

"You mean... a star system without any life forms, relatively deserted?"

The representative from the Interstellar Peace Company standing in front of Duanmu Huai is pale, sweating profusely, but still forces himself to ask.

"That's right, preferably with no property disputes. I'm not interested in getting involved in a bunch of trivial troubles."

"Hmm, if those are your only requirements, then how about Ophiuchus?"

"Oh?"

"Although it's located on the rather remote edge of the Outer Star System, only a resource-depleted planet is here, with no mineral resources around. So, there are no gold diggers nor places for criminals to hide here; it is certainly deserted…"

In plain terms, the place is like a desert, extremely barren, and not even criminals would want to come.

For Duanmu Huai, it's naturally the best case scenario.

"Then this place it is. By the way, you don't mind if I use your network to run an advertisement, do you?"

"Advertisement?"

"That's right, the Tribunal is opening for business, posting an advertisement with a 50% discount… any problem?"

"No, no, no, of course not. If you need, the Interstellar Peace Company is willing to provide comprehensive services for you!"

Although the Tribunal and the Interstellar Peace Company had a fight, their relationship isn't particularly bad. The reason is simple: within the Interstellar Peace Company, factions are rife; several departments can't see eye to eye with each other. Initially, it was the Market Development Department that got on Duanmu Huai's bad side, but later, the representative negotiating with the Tribunal came from the Strategic Investment Department.

Compared to the Market Development Department, the Strategic Investment Department's attitude towards the Tribunal is extremely enthusiastic—it's apparent that the relationship between the two departments isn't great.

After all, the Market Development Department messed up the relationship with the Tribunal. If the Strategic Investment Department can make amends, doesn't that show it's stronger than the Market Development Department?

For this reason, when Duanmu Huai contacted a representative asking for the Interstellar Peace Company's services, the latter was highly proactive—when Duanmu Huai led the fleet to Ophiuchus, not only did people from the Interstellar Peace Company arrive, but they even brought an entire media team.

According to the representative, this media team included news media from TV, radio, and internet, and they even brought a high-power broadcasting satellite system to ensure the news of the Tribunal's opening could reach any civilized planet—including those yet to leave their home planet. As long as they had signal-receiving technology, they could receive the Tribunal's advertisement!

Tsk, this thing is pretty good.

I have to admit, Duanmu Huai was tempted by what he heard. After all, the Tribunal has always first sought out troublesome civilizations to help them and then put down roots locally. It's like door-to-door sales; though they can find clients, it's relatively slow. But now, if they had this system, they could just advertise and let clients come to them, isn't that better than anything?

Maybe have a chat with the Interstellar Peace Company about buying this system and going to spread the word at any galaxy; it would be much faster than promoting door-to-door.

While Duanmu Huai was contemplating, the nearby host, who was also accompanied by a drone camera, approached, looking at the towering Duanmu Huai, sweating coldly. By right, such work should be given to Smart Machinery. However, the Tribunal strictly forbids the appearance of The Evil Intelligence, so this unlucky guy had to take on the task of interviewing Duanmu Huai.

"You, Hello, respected Great Judge Your Honor."

The host swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcing a smile while looking at Duanmu Huai.

"May I ask why you chose the Ophiuchus Beta Star System?"

"Oh, it's simple. It's quiet here, not much going on, so we plan for the Tribunal to open here."

"Open? Do you plan to sell something?"

"Safety."

"Safety?"

"Exactly, the Tribunal's duty is to protect humans and eliminate any threats to them at all costs. Therefore, as long as a human civilization faces threats or crises, they can seek help from the Tribunal, which will tirelessly eliminate enemies threatening human civilization."

"I see."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the reporter quickly searched his mind about the current situation in the Outer Star System and then breathed a sigh of relief. From the Tribunal's human standard, most civilized races in the Outer Star System are either humans or subhumans, with only the Smart Machinery being particularly dangerous. Aside from that… hmm… they should be okay.

"With the Tribunal here, I suppose the Outer Star System will be safer and more peaceful… But… are you planning to station the fleet here? But there's really nothing here?"

In the Outer Star System, many civilizations have reached the interstellar era, and naturally, many conventions have formed. For example, the reason no one pays attention to the Ophiuchus Beta Star System is that aside from a burning star and a barren planet orbiting it, there is truly nothing. Although people have seen the Tribunal's warships, very strong and powerful indeed, even the Interstellar Peace Company Market Development Department was chased away by their tails, but the problem is that these warships also need supplies and maintenance.
