Holy Radiant Kingdom, Central Star Region, Royal Capital System

This place contains the largest stargate of the Holy Radiance Kingdom, which was also built by the Wraith Dragon Empire and is under its jurisdiction and control.

Although it has been built for less than a year, it has already become the stargate with the most starship voyages in the Royal Capital System.

However, today, this stargate is under emergency military control.

All routes were suspended, and all previously booked voyages were postponed.

This news naturally alarmed the higher-ups of the Holy Radiance Kingdom.

Subsequently, the arrival of the First Legion fleet of the Dragon Empire, with its interstellar warships, made the Holy Radiance Kingdom feel as if it were sitting on pins and needles.

Some uncontrollable speculations began to surface in my mind.

Could it be that, because of the family rebellions that occurred within the Holy Radiant Kingdom, the Dragon Empire is preparing to take action against the Holy Radiant Kingdom?

If that's the case, will their family's influence be affected?

Just as these powerful families and the kingdom's high-ranking officials were in a state of panic.

Queen Saint Cana of the Holy Kingdom of Radiant Light issued a message.

From this moment forward, the Central Starfield enters a Level 2 combat readiness state, and a Level 1 combat readiness zone has been designated. All interstellar warships within this zone will be under the control of the Dragon Empire.

No interstellar warship may sail without permission.

Those who disobey orders will be severely punished.

Receiving this Queen's decree actually reassured the senior members of those families.

This indicates that the military operation of the First Legion Fleet of the Dragon Empire was not aimed at the Holy Radiant Kingdom.

Although I don't know why, it's at least unrelated to them.

They dare not provoke the Dragon Empire now, after all, that man has returned.

"I have already issued the relevant orders."

"Are there any other aspects where we need to cooperate?" Saint Cana looked at the holographic image in front of her, which was Zhao Chen sitting on the throne of the Dragon Emperor.

"That's fine."

"Leave the rest to the Imperial Fleet," Zhao Chen said calmly.

Saint Cana took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and said, "Regarding the rebellion that occurred within the Holy Radiant Empire, although it has now been contained."

However, as the Queen, I bear some responsibility for this situation and cannot shirk my duty.

I beg Your Majesty to impose punishment.

Zhao Chen remained silent for a moment.

He looked at Saint Cana and slowly said, "Since you put it that way..."

I will issue a statement after that.

Queen Saint Cana of the Holy Radiant Empire is responsible for the family rebellion caused by her lax management of her subordinates.

Queen Saint Cana is hereby punished with a week of solitary confinement.

After saying that, Zhao Chen's image disappeared.

Queen Saint Cana paused, staring at the empty space before her, listening to the farcical punishment that had just been handed down.

She couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew that it wasn't a punishment at all.

Instead, the Emperor publicly stated that he trusts Queen Saint Cana and will not hold her accountable. As for others, they should not have any wild thoughts and should continue to follow Queen Saint Cana's leadership.

What appears to be a punitive order can actually ease the tension in the Holy Kingdom caused by this incident in an instant.

The order to punish quickly spread afterward.

Furthermore, everyone also spotted the flagship of the JF-17 Emperor and the Imperial Guard fleet.

After appearing at that stargate, they sailed away from the star system together with the First Legion Fleet of the Dragon Empire.

Dragon Emperor Star Command Ship - Bridge

"Report: We are five minutes away from the point of abnormal fluctuation in Space One."

"We estimate there are still eight minutes until the enemy appears at the predicted point of spatial anomaly," an officer reported to Zhao Chen.

“Okay, keep an eye on it,” Zhao Chen said.

"yes."

Although Zhao Chen possesses the T6 Emerald Dream-class interstellar warship, which can deploy large numbers of interstellar warships directly to their destination.

However, that also requires a lot of resources. Given enough time and convenient stargate network, the most cost-effective method is naturally the one to choose.

Inside Zhao Chen's bridge, all departments were busy at work.

It's not just aimed at this battlefield.

Special staff departments were also set up in the other four battlefields to provide remote guidance and assistance, and Zhao Chen was given first-hand information.

The Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship is the brain of the empire, capable of controlling any legion fleet of the Dragon Empire.

"Your Majesty, we have just received a communication request from Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen of the Angel Clan," Lilith's secretary reported from the side.

Zhao Chen had anticipated this contact from the King of Angels.

Zhao Chen glanced at the time.

"Battlefield command is entirely handed over to Shen Bing of the First Legion Fleet Group."

"Our main role is to supervise and assist," Zhao Chen instructed.

Then he said, "Let's arrange for me to meet her here."

It's not anything important anyway.

This wasn't a very important thing to Zhao Chen.

However, in the eyes of the opposing angel race, it concerns the fate of the angel race.

Holy Angel Galaxy, Mount Temple

A holographic image appeared in the temple.

When Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, saw the person appear, she immediately bowed, using the most noble etiquette of the angel race.

Zhao Chen looked at the Angel King, who was bowing his head and bending over, who was also the only king of the Angel race at present.

“Raise your head,” Zhao Chen said.

"This sinful subject dares not," said the Holy Angel King.

Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly. This woman, who was rumored to be pure and innocent, actually had quite a few thoughts of her own.

And in his very first sentence, he put himself in a very humble position.

He is not an angel king, but a sinner.

"I'm telling you to raise your head." Zhao Chen's voice was authoritative without being angry.

At this moment, Angelia, the Queen of Holy Angels, finally raised her head.

Although I've seen her many times, I have to say this woman is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

"I heard you want to see me," Zhao Chen said.

Angelia, the Queen of Holy Angels, suddenly knelt on one knee, her pure white feathers on her back pressing against the ground.

"What are you doing? You are the Angel King of the Angel Clan," Zhao Chen said coldly, but he didn't mean to let her get up.

Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, bowed her head and said, "The ceremony just now was to welcome His Majesty the Emperor."

This is to show the highest courtesy of the angels.

Now, this kneeling.

We beseech Your Majesty to forgive the angels for their sins this time.

I, Angelia, am willing to bear the punishment in place of the angels, without complaint or regret.

Zhao Chen didn't speak, but slowly walked up the steps of the temple.

There stood the throne of the Angel King. Zhao Chen turned around and slowly sat down.

Although it is just a holographic image of light and shadow, it is as if there is really someone sitting there.

It's fortunate that it was in this temple, otherwise such a good effect could not have been achieved.

"According to the information I have received."

This rebellion of the angels was orchestrated by Wells, the King of War Angels, who had previously imprisoned you.

You were completely unaware of this during this period.

"It was only after the King of War Angels, Wells, committed suicide that the angel warriors rescued you." Zhao Chen squinted at Angelia, the Holy Angel King, who had turned around and was still kneeling before him.

"Yes...yes."

Zhao Chen's voice was icy: "But, I feel..."

Wells, that guy, he's not imprisoning you.

Or is it to protect you?

Angelia, the Queen of Holy Angels, felt a chill run down her spine.

He is leaving an opportunity for the angels.

If his rebellion fails, you can step forward and once again pledge allegiance to the Dragon Empire.

Therefore, he cannot let you die.

Because if you die, and his rebellion fails.

"Then the angel race has absolutely no hope." Zhao Chen said coldly.

"This sinful subject...this sinful subject was unaware." Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

You probably don't know this.

Because he couldn't possibly tell you these things. In the course of his actions, he even killed some of your most stubborn and resistant subordinates.

Of course, those who did not put up a stubborn resistance were simply imprisoned.

This also indirectly illustrates this point.

He is protecting your trusted followers.

So, you should be able to guess it.

After all, you are also an angel king.

Am I right?

"Angel Queen Angelia." Zhao Chen rubbed his chin, staring at Angelia, whose head was hanging even lower.

"Or rather, you guessed it from the very beginning."

You deliberately cooperated with Wells.

Be prepared for both scenarios.

The rebellion was successful.

As the main force in overthrowing the Dragon Empire, your Angel race has made a great contribution, whether it was your own rise or in the eyes of your new master.

From the very beginning, you put your eggs in two baskets.

Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, had beads of sweat on her forehead.

She hadn't expected the emperor to have such a strong will.

"Tell me, how much do you know?"

"You only have one chance to speak now," Zhao Chen said coldly.

Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, was silent for a moment before slowly raising her head and saying, "Actually, I had heard some things about Wells's actions before."

At that time, it was because... His Majesty had not appeared for a long time, and because of those rumors.

This caused a pre-existing ideology within the angel race to resurface.

The Angel race is inherently proud, and their joining the Dragon Empire's system has caused many to feel dissatisfied.

However, since everyone had witnessed the combat power of the JF-17 fleet, although they were dissatisfied, they did not protest too fiercely against this decision.

But because of His Majesty... this idea began to emerge.

This situation is most prevalent among the King of War Angels.

After all, most of the War Angel King's subordinates are warlike people who crave to demonstrate their superiority through war.

It has always been like this.

Now, it is the military might of the Dragon Empire that has brought them to submission.

This has always been a heavy burden on their hearts.

Now that there's finally a chance to knock down this rock, the reaction is naturally very strong.

With the proliferation of this ideology, there is even a possibility that it could get out of control.

At this point, War Angel King Wells began to actively contact these people, forming a faction centered around him.

When I went to see him, I was actually worried that he might do something out of line, and I wanted to dissuade him.

Unexpectedly, he had already planned it all along.

I was even imprisoned because of it.

Then what happened next occurred.

Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, looked at Zhao Chen and pleaded, "Your Majesty."

I know that the Angels bear a significant responsibility for this rebellion.

However, the Angel race can be changed. Not everyone craves war. I can make them behave themselves as Angels under the command of the Dragon Empire!

I promise this will never happen again.

Her voice was truly pleading.

Because she knew very well that the military power of the Dragon Empire was now beyond the reach of the Angel Race.

What's more, there's this man here too.

Zhao Chen squinted.

He felt that there must be an underlying connection to order, and that those warlike angels might have been influenced by ideas of order.

It's worth noting that back when the Machine Race existed, Order was able to influence a group of mechanical lifeforms to become believers in Order.

Even mechanical life forms can do that.

Not to mention these angels.

As for whether Wells, the King of War Angels, truly launched this rebellion from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Chen thought it was hard to say.

Perhaps he was just protecting the angels in his own way.

He didn't want to see internal strife within the Angel race.

Since that's the case, let's vent this anger.

Even when facing the Dragon Empire.

But knowing it was a dead end, he used his own death to extinguish the flame that should never have burned.

"Your Majesty, I have a list here."

It is a list of diehards who followed Wells in launching the rebellion.

"If you wish, I will deal with these rebellious angels in the shortest possible time." Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, then produced an electronic list.

The electronic list appeared before Zhao Chen's eyes.

There are thousands of names on it.

Without exception, they all held high positions among the angels, and three-quarters of them were descendants of the King of War Angels.

“I can forgive the angels this time,” Zhao Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Angelia, the Queen of Holy Angels, was overjoyed.

"But from now on, the Angel race's military forces will be directly under the control of the Dragon Empire."

Furthermore, the angel race only allows one angel king to exist.

As for who will become this angel king.

"The Empire has the final say," Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.

Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, was startled; she felt as if an iron chain had been fastened around her neck.

She knew very well that if she followed these instructions...

From then on, the Angel race was like a dog tethered to the Dragon Empire, with no further possibility of development.

After all, even the military fleet was controlled by the Empire, let alone anything else.

But now, does she even have a choice?

"yes.

"I obey Your Majesty's command." Angelia, the Holy Angel Queen, bowed her head.

Don't worry.

Aside from those on the list, I will not pursue the responsibility of other angels.

You just need to obey.

"You have always been the Angel King of the Angel Clan," Zhao Chen said calmly.
