The Starfleet's speed gradually decreased, covering a distance that would normally take ten minutes.
At this point, they had been sailing for nearly half an hour.
At the very last point, very close to Luna, most of the Imperial Guard's starships, along with the majority of the Elven King's accompanying starships, anchored in the outer interstellar anchorage under the guidance of a pilot ship.
The number of ships in Zhao Chen's fleet suddenly decreased by thirty.
However, all thirty of these interstellar warships were T6 interstellar warships!
Thirty interstellar warships and the starships of the two Elf Kings sailed on the empty channel, with some interstellar warships with very ornate paint schemes hovering on both sides of the channel.
Then, one light and shadow device after another was projected out, forming various colors of light and shadow on the waterway, giving people a beautiful feeling.
This was the welcoming ceremony prepared by the Holy Elf Empire for the arrival of Zhao Chen, the Dragon Emperor.
Next, naturally, we headed towards that lunar satellite port.
That is the most luxurious starport in the Holy Elf Empire, and also the only starport outside of Luna Star that connects to Luna Star.
This is enough to show its special nature.
Guided, the starships of the Dragon Empire were led to various starport berths.
Zhao Chen's flagship was naturally placed in a special interstellar berth.
This berth is clearly different from other starport berths; it's not just a simple place to dock a starship.
Gladys explained it.
This is a starport berth specifically used to welcome important guests; even the Elf King's flagship wouldn't dock here.
Prior to this, the guests received were all visiting fleet flagships from other cosmic civilizations.
It has been over a century since this Star Harbor berth was last used.
Through the porthole, Zhao Chen could see that the flagships of the two Elf Kings who had accompanied him were docked in the adjacent starport berth.
The flagships of these two Elf Kings are easily identifiable.
Since a ship's hull is entirely painted green and features numerous plant patterns, it is naturally the flagship of the Emerald Elf King.
The other ship was painted entirely in red, although it also had some plant patterns on its hull.
But weapons are often accompanied by red plants, such as a bow and arrow wrapped with red thorns.
It gives people a feeling of elegance, yet also dignity.
This is naturally the flagship of the Flame Elf King.
Zhao Chen had also learned about the flagships of these two Elf Kings from Gladys and had searched for some information on the network of this universe.
This is a near-T7 level interstellar warship, and its numbers are extremely limited.
It is known as the Luna Shadow-class heavy interstellar battleship.
The flagships of these Elf Kings were modified based on this design. According to the needs of each Elf King, modifications were made not only to the appearance but also to some internal modules.
There is no detailed information regarding the exact number of these interstellar warships.
Some say there were only a dozen or so.
However, some claim that the Holy Elf Empire possessed as many as a hundred of these interstellar warships.
These data all need to be verified.
However, it is highly likely that this interstellar warship is currently the strongest interstellar warship in the Holy Elf Empire.
I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to board this interstellar warship and see it for myself.
"Report, starship has docked."
"We're connecting the walkway." Xiong Lulu reported from the side.
Gladys immediately looked at Zhao Chen.
"Prepare to board the ship."
"I'll leave the arrangements after we land in port to Miss Gladys." Zhao Chen looked at Gladys beside him.
Gladys immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty Emperor Xiaolong."
Everything that followed was arranged.
I guarantee you'll have a great trip!
"Okay." Zhao Chen nodded, then glanced at Xiong Lulu beside him: "I'll leave the fleet matters to you."
Contact me again if anything important comes up.
"Yes," Xiong Lulu replied.
Zhao Chen turned and walked towards the bridge gate, while personnel from a pre-prepared department quickly followed.
Leopard Woman stood behind Zhao Chen with several bodyguards, followed by diplomats dressed in the civilian military uniform of the Xiaolong.
These people constituted Zhao Chen's 'diplomatic mission' for this occasion.
Gladys led the way beside Zhao Chen.
They also occasionally introduce some of the unique features of Luna.
Soon, Zhao Chen arrived at the jet bridge of the starship docking port.
The entire covered bridge is arranged very naturally and elegantly, and there are even flowers. These flowers are not decorations, but real flowers.
"Please." Gladys walked ahead to lead the way for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen and the others slowly walked up the corridor.
The corridor is very long, spanning nearly several hundred meters.
However, there are suspended platforms in the corridor, which allow you to move to the other side of the corridor by standing on them.
Even from a distance, Zhao Chen could see the crowd welcoming them on the opposite platform.
At a glance, there were at least nearly a thousand people greeting them.
Thus, it is clear that although the Holy Elf Empire has an arrogant nature, it still attaches great importance to the visit of the Dragon Empire delegation.
Soon, Zhao Chen and the others had passed through the entire corridor.
As Zhao Chen walked down the steps of the corridor.
Then some kind of music started playing around them, and at the same time, small creatures that looked like fireflies or butterflies were flying around in the sky, dancing gracefully to the music.
It must be said that this scene truly possesses a natural beauty.
Then, surprisingly, singing began to play around us, not the kind of recorded singing, but live singing.
On both sides of the welcoming party, Zhao Chen could see elves, like a choir, singing.
Zhao Chen had learned some things beforehand. Besides liking natural plants, being a bit arrogant, pursuing spiritual things, the elves also loved music.
Music holds a completely unique place among the elves.
Various kinds of music will appear on all kinds of solemn occasions.
At this moment, several elves dressed in completely different styles of clothing slowly walked towards Zhao Chen.
Gladys stepped aside and bowed her head slightly.
It's clear that these people who came over are not ordinary individuals.
Some of them were acquaintances of Zhao Chen.
The Emerald Elf King Mansfield had a cold and indifferent expression.
Salamander, the Flame Elf King, whose red eyes shone with curiosity and boundless energy.
From the moment Zhao Chen stepped onto this spot, the Flame Elf King's gaze had been fixed on him.
If it weren't for this special occasion, she probably would have already come up to Zhao Chen and chatted about all sorts of things she was curious about.
In addition, there were three other elves who appeared to be of very high status.
When all five of them stood in front of Zhao Chen.
One of the elves, who appeared to be the oldest and had the appearance of an old man, stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Chen, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Emperor Xiaolong, welcome."
I am Gustav, the Radiant Elf King of the Holy Elf Empire.
Zhao Chen smiled and returned the courtesy of the Xiaolong Empire.
"It's an honor to be here in your country," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Chen had naturally learned about this Radiant Elf King when he was researching the Holy Elf Empire.
While the Radiant Elf King may not be the strongest or highest-ranking among the five Elf Kings, he is certainly the one with the most noble status.
Because he is from the race of light elves.
Regardless of the current strength of the Light Elves, no one would dare to show any disrespect for their existence.
Because when the Elven race was still on Luna, it was the Light Elves who led the Elven race into the interstellar age.
The first interstellar fighter to enter interstellar space was developed and manufactured by scientists of the Light Elf race.
When the Holy Elf Empire was established, the first person to be recognized as the Elf King was the Elf King from the Light Elf race!
Therefore, the status of the Light Elf race was thus established within the Holy Elf Empire.
Throughout history, other Elf Kings may have changed among several Elf races.
But the one thing that remains unchanged is that there has always been a place for the Light Elf race.
The Radiant Elf King before them was the oldest of the five current Elf Kings, and naturally, he was the one with the highest prestige.
This time, he was also the Elf King in charge of welcoming the Emperor of the Wraiths.
It is said that it was at the request of the Radiant Elf King that the Emerald Elf King agreed to appear alongside the Flame Elf King to welcome the arrival of the Dragonflight Envoy's fleet.
Only the Radiant Elf King could command the Emerald Elf King.
The Radiant Elf King turned to the side and pointed to the four people beside him.
"Your Excellency Emperor Xiaolong, let me introduce myself to you."
You have already met these two: Emerald Elf King Mansfield and Flame Elf King Saloman.
These two are representatives of the High Council.
Andrew and Calemoni.
The four looked at Zhao Chen and bowed to him one by one.
The next two members of the High Council.
Zhao Chen had also learned some information.
The High Council is an organization within the Holy Elf Empire that discusses imperial affairs, and its members typically number around sixty.
They are usually representatives of various elven races, and among these sixty-odd people, leaders of some large races naturally become leaders in the High Council.
These two are examples of that.
One is from the Earth Elf race, and the other is from the Gale Elf race.
Both of these elven races are major clans within the Holy Elf Empire.
"You must have had a long and tiring journey to come here this time."
Although the banquet is scheduled for tomorrow.
"But now, we have specially prepared a welcome feast for you." The Radiant Elf King said with a smile.
As an elder, he was still very kind to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen naturally had no reason to refuse the invitation.
So he agreed.
Afterwards, Zhao Chen, led by these high-ranking officials of the Holy Elf Empire, entered the lunar satellite port.
This welcome banquet was arranged in the most luxurious restaurant in this Star Harbor.
Only after the meal is finished can we take the interstellar elevator into the planet Luna.
Many of the foods served at the banquet were unfamiliar to Zhao Chen, but most were vegetarian.
But there were several meat dishes in front of Zhao Chen.
They probably prepared these dishes because they thought Zhao Chen's diet might be different from theirs.
Zhao Chen had never eaten these foods before, so he found them somewhat novel.
However, it's just a novelty; the taste is really not as good as the ingredients from the Dragon Empire.
Even fruits and vegetables.
Perhaps it's because the ingredients Zhao Chen ate were all cultivated by the T6 Purple Gold Eden-class starship.
Far exceeding these kinds of ingredients.
However, if the seeds of these special fruits and vegetables of the Holy Elf Empire were brought back to the Dragon Empire and cultivated using the breeding environment and technology on the Purple Gold Eden-class starship...
Zhao Chen is confident that he can cultivate the best of this type of fruit and vegetable!
At this moment, Zhao Chen had an idea.
The elves of the Holy Elf Empire primarily eat fruits and vegetables.
High-ranking elves, in particular, often take pride in being able to eat the highest quality fruit, which is a hot commodity for them.
If I cultivate these plants and fruits to their best quality, I can then sell them to the high-ranking elves of the Holy Elf Empire.
On the one hand, it can bring the two sides closer, and on the other hand, it can earn some 'foreign exchange'.
These high-level elves all seem to be quite wealthy, and they would probably be willing to spend a small amount of money for their favorite food.
With this in mind, Zhao Chen's gaze toward these high-level elves became even more 'merciful'.
This made the Elf Kings and high-ranking elves feel strange.
Why does this Emperor of the Dragon Empire have such a strange look in his eyes?
Is this some kind of habit of theirs?
Do you like to stare at others like that while eating?
Zhao Chen was naturally unaware that these high-level elves had misunderstood him.
After enjoying this delicious meal.
Zhao Chen and the others were now truly preparing to enter Luna Star.
Because the Moon holds a completely special significance for the Elven race, no spacecraft are allowed to fly outside the Moon's atmosphere.
Even flying within a planet has extremely high requirements.
The goal is to preserve this planet in its most pristine state as much as possible.
Any technological advancement could potentially alter the aura of this lunar planet.
It's a bit like those extreme pilgrims, and this planet is their place of faith.
Soon, Zhao Chen and the others boarded the interstellar elevator.
Admiring the beautiful view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the interstellar elevator, I have to say that this planet is truly beautiful, with everything exuding the charm of nature.
"Your Excellency Emperor Xiaolong".
A soft sound came from beside me.
Zhao Chen looked over and saw that it was actually the Flame Elf King.
At this moment, Zhao Chen also noticed the other people chatting nearby, but he didn't pay attention to them.
As for the other members of the Dragonflight delegation and the elven entourage, they naturally stood at a distance so as not to disturb them.
"Your Excellency Flame Elf King, what brings you here?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at the Flame Elf King.
Although I had some affection for this Elf King, due to the limited space, we never had a proper conversation.
"That's right, I'm very interested in your Dragon Empire's interstellar warships and your battles with Order."
You mentioned earlier on the starship that you were willing to discuss this.
"I wonder if we could schedule a time?" the Flame Elf King said to Zhao Chen expectantly.
Is this Elf King really that direct?
