"The vast majority of the time it's impossible," said the Fifth Marshal of the Black God. Although he was a warlike man, he still had some sense in this matter.

He had seen those production plans, and they were extremely difficult to implement.

Therefore, the vast majority of those in charge are basically unable to complete the task.

"Normally speaking, these production plans cannot be completed."

If they fail to complete the task, these people will most likely be purged by His Majesty the Emperor.

Then these people will resort to some abnormal means.

First, they will try every means to increase production at their existing production bases and resource mining areas.

The cheapest way is undoubtedly to increase working hours and hire more staff.

Humans are devouring civilization, making them undoubtedly the cheapest form of existence.

"At that time, many people will inevitably perish here due to overwork," the Third Commander of the Black God said solemnly.

However, upon hearing this, the expressions of the Black God Marshals did not change much.

After all, here, almost no one cares about the loss of human life.

When the Third Marshal in Black spoke of these things, his tone was actually very calm.

He continued, "But this alone is not enough to complete the production plans assigned by His Majesty the Emperor."

Especially the production plans for the following months.

Therefore, they will also try to increase production in other areas.

That means expanding the production line or adding mining areas.

However, it is not possible to expand qualified production and industrial areas in a short period of time.

That means we can only temporarily set up some substandard production and industrial areas.

The working environment in this area must be extremely poor.

At the same time, in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, these responsible persons will inevitably squeeze as much as possible out of their subordinates.

Several plans may be proposed.

For example, each household must contribute a certain amount of production resources each month in order to fulfill their oath to fight. If they cannot contribute production resources, they can use crystal coins instead.

Another measure is to reduce the salaries and benefits of all staff.

And safety settings for the work environment, safety settings for personnel, etc.

In this way, cost input can be greatly reduced and output can be increased.

Only by constantly exploiting those below them can these managers be expected to complete production tasks on schedule.

Upon hearing what the Third Marshal of the Black God had said, the other Marshals of the Black God also frowned.

However, if you could see into their hearts, you would find that they were not worried about the safety of these people.

Marshal Black God Fifth expressed his concern first: "If this is the case, wouldn't it lead to a worsening of the living conditions for people in various star systems?"

This could potentially lead to some extreme events.

"But all of this is to complete the Black God Emperor's plan, and to fulfill the vowed duel thirty months later. All of this sacrifice is worthwhile."

"Those lowly people deserve to pay for this!" the Second Marshal of the Black God said dismissively.

The Third Marshal of the Black God glanced at the Second Marshal and thought to himself, "What a foolish woman."

Then he continued, "This was bound to happen."

As for the specific situation at that time, it will depend on how the local officials exploit their subordinates.

If the people under your command can't even survive on the most basic level.

It's easy to imagine what they would do.

What would you do in that situation?

So I said, the next thirty months.

The Devouring Civilization Universe will enter its most chaotic thirty months, during which various extreme events may occur in different regions.

Upon hearing the analysis of the Third Marshal of the Black God, all the Marshals present fell silent.

Even before their eyes, thirty months had already appeared the possible scenarios of the devouring of civilizations in various places, as well as the cosmic environment at that time.

Everyone will live under high pressure, and some people may even live in a living hell.

This does indeed carry some risk.

But in the eyes of those in positions of power, they were not showing sympathy for these people.

They were only thinking about the trouble these people at the bottom of society would bring them, and how to solve and deal with these troubles.

The most urgent task, of course, is to prepare for the duel they have vowed to fight thirty months from now.

None of them had any opinion on this.

Even if it meant sacrificing more than half of the lives of civilizations, they would do it without hesitation.

"Forget it, this is not something we should worry about."

Stop thinking about it.

At worst, if an extreme rebellion occurs in a certain star region or galaxy, we can simply go and suppress it.

"In our universe of devouring civilizations, who can be a match for His Majesty the Black God Emperor?" The Second Marshal of the Black God smiled dismissively.

"You say, under this preparation for war..."

"Thirty months from now, how many interstellar warships will we have recovered to?" Marshal Black God couldn't help but ask.

"At least over one hundred million ships," Fourth Marshal Black God stated bluntly.

One hundred million ships!

When I heard this number.

The eyes of the Fifth Marshal of the Black God were shining brightly.

A fleet of one hundred million ships—that's unprecedented in its ability to devour civilizations.

It's not that the previous Devouring Civilization couldn't produce so many interstellar warships.

Instead, they only devoured so many resources from civilized universes, and because of the Great Order, most of the interstellar civilized universes they invaded were devoured by the Order itself.

They can only obtain the portion of the wealth looted during the invasion.

Therefore, they cannot maintain that many interstellar warships.

It should be noted that the Holy Elf Empire, whose military strength was comparable to that of the Devouring Civilization, only managed to maintain 30 million interstellar warships.

Prior to this, the Devouring Civilization's standing military force consisted of 80 million interstellar warships.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to maintain another 20 million interstellar warships for the purpose of devouring civilizations.

This is why the Black God Emperor chose to increase production.

Otherwise, they would have a very difficult time maintaining the demand for 100 million interstellar warships, as well as their resource consumption on the battlefield.

That would be a huge number.

"One hundred million interstellar warships, that means each of us will have twenty million interstellar warships."

Each of us can command 20 million interstellar warships.

Just thinking about it makes me unable to resist.

We suffered heavy losses in our previous battles with the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

I can remember this humiliation forever.

With these twenty million interstellar warships, if I ever encounter the Dragon Star Empire's fleet again, I will definitely avenge my previous defeat.

Make them pay for what they've done!

When the mention of the Xiaolong Legion fleet came up, the Black God Marshals all fell silent.

Because in previous battles, they had all witnessed the terror and power of the Dragon Star Legion fleet.

They were arrogant before, but now they dare not underestimate the Dragon Star Legion fleet.

However, their arrogant attitude also made them eager to avenge their previous humiliation.

We await our vow to fight the Dragon Star Empire thirty months from now!

——————

The Black God Emperor walked down a gloomy corridor, illuminated only by some kind of dark crystal on either side, and the corridor seemed to lead downwards.

He walked for a long time before finally leaving the corridor.

What came into view was a scene resembling a cave, and the surroundings were also very dark, with crystals on the walls of the cave providing illumination.

However, because the cave is so large, these crystal lights alone are simply not enough to illuminate it.

Therefore, there are several candlesticks in the grotto. The candlesticks do not contain candles, but rather some shapeless and intangible object that emits a faint blue light.

It provides the main lighting for the entire grotto.

These dark blue candlesticks are arranged around an altar-like structure in the center of the grotto.

The altar is higher than the ground inside the cave, and it is circular in shape. There are some strange patterns on the altar.

Although I can't understand what these textures are, just staring at them makes my head feel like it's about to explode.

Even the Black God Emperor, after entering the cave, did not dare to look at the patterns on the altar, but kept his head down as he walked.

It would be hard for outsiders to believe that this noble Black God Emperor would walk with his head bowed in humility.

This is simply unimaginable.

The Black God Emperor did not walk onto the altar, but stood below it, and then he began to slowly remove his armor.

The black armor on his body began to be removed little by little.

It is estimated that very few people in the entire Devouring Civilization have ever seen the face beneath the Black God Emperor's armor, because in the eyes of the world, the Black God Emperor has always been depicted wearing this armor.

There are even rumors that the Black God Emperor would wear this armor even when he was resting and sleeping.

And now, here, the Black God Emperor is actually beginning to dismantle himself.

The last thing to be removed was his helmet.

After removing his armor, the Black God Emperor's aura weakened considerably, and even his figure appeared smaller.

He knelt on the ground with great devotion, his hands pressed forward and his face close to the ground.

Then a language he had never heard before began to flow from his mouth, as if it were some kind of prayer.

The entire process lasted for more than half an hour, and this string of prayers was practiced countless times.

It was as if they were summoning some kind of creature.

Throughout the entire process, the Black God Emperor maintained this posture.

It's clear that he now truly resembles a devout believer.

Finally, the patterns on the central altar lit up, and then an indescribable black shadow appeared on the altar.

The Black God Emperor then changed his posture, his head still touching the ground, but his hands were now facing upwards.

“Great being, your servants are here to welcome you.”

"Your servant is here, begging for your favor," the Black God Emperor said in a very humble tone.

A sound came from the shadows.

"What is it that you summoned me?"

The Black God Emperor replied in a low voice, "The great being previously instructed his servants to eliminate an interstellar civilization called the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire."

The servant immediately devoted himself to handling the matter.

They dispatched a legion fleet to attack this interstellar civilization.

However, I didn't expect that the military strength of this Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was very strong.

It possesses a large number of T6-class interstellar warships, and even near-T7-class interstellar warships.

The servants were incompetent and failed to eliminate this interstellar force.

However, the servants did not forget the command of the great being, so they swore an oath to fight this Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.

They agreed to a decisive battle in the Zaun universe thirty months from now.

However, the servants are not strong enough, especially in the area of ​​near-T7 interstellar warships.

Therefore, I pray for the help of the great being.

The Black God Emperor briefly recounted this story.

“Xiaolong...Xiaolong...” the shadowy figure kept repeating the name.

"Those who violate order must be eliminated..."

"Order must exist."

"The JF-17... must be eliminated..."

The voices from the shadows were intermittent.

Then, the voice from the shadows continued, "I... still have some things to... take care of..."

Unable to be there in person...

But...I...will send other servants to support...your vowed duel.

JF-17...must...die...

After saying this, the shadowy figure disappeared.

But the Black God Emperor remained kneeling on the ground for a full hour before standing up again and putting his armor back on.

It reverted to its previous form as the Black God Emperor.

The Black God Emperor glanced at the altar, then retreated until he was out of the cavern, at which point he turned and walked into the corridor.

After walking out of the corridor.

He glanced at the starry sky outside.

His expression relaxed considerably.

Although the great being cannot personally provide support.

But since the great being is willing to let his followers help, that is enough.

Those guys, I can't control them with my words alone.

But when given a command from a great being, they can only obediently follow the arrangement.

This is why the Black God Emperor needed to establish a connection with the Great Being; he required this decree from the Great Being.

The Black God Emperor then walked towards a secluded side hall behind another palace.

The side hall was small and rather monotonous.

It was just something that looked like a conference table.

The conference table was already set with chairs, exactly four chairs in total.

The Black God Emperor sat silently in one of the chairs, then sat there as if in deep meditation.

Time passed little by little.

Perhaps several hours have passed, or perhaps several days have passed.

Finally, the lights in the middle of the conference room came on.

Light and shadow also appeared on the remaining three chairs.

For some unknown reason, the shapes and shadows on these three chairs were indistinguishable, making it impossible to discern their appearance or human figures.

"It's been a long time, everyone. Order shines upon us." A woman's voice rang out.

From the left side of the Black God Emperor, although the appearance was not clear, it was a white figure, seemingly wearing some kind of white clothing.

"Hmph, to actually trouble a great being to personally issue an order."

You're such a useless piece of trash.

"Unable to fulfill the decree issued by the Great Being, if it were me, I wouldn't have the face to contact the Great Being at all; I would have committed suicide long ago to atone for my sins." A deep male voice rang out, and it was clearly clear that he was speaking to the Black God Emperor.

If it were a universe devouring civilizations, no one would dare to treat the Black God Emperor with such an attitude.

However, the Black God Emperor made no response to this person's arrogant attitude, which is enough to show that those who contacted the Black God Emperor must have very special identities.

The last, most indistinct sound came from a most indistinct shadow on the chair, a shadow that could not even be described as human.

“Master...you want...us...to...assist...you...what...do...we...need...to...do......”

The voice was intermittent, and it was clear that he was imitating the language people were speaking, but he wasn't very proficient at it.

The Black God Emperor saw that everyone had arrived.

He then spoke, saying, "It has been a long time since our Four Divine Envoys civilization has gathered here together."

This time, I have gathered you all here by taking advantage of the opportunity presented by this great being.

You should now have a general understanding of the situation.

Here exists an interstellar civilization that opposes a great being, named: the Dragon Owl Interstellar Empire.

This interstellar power possesses extremely advanced technology; recently, they have even acquired mass-produced near-T7 level interstellar warships.

There are dozens of them.

This is why we failed to achieve victory in the war against the Dragon Star Empire.

However, we still swore an oath to fight them, agreeing to a final battle to the death in our Zaun universe thirty months from now.

There are no restrictions on the two factions participating in the duel.

Therefore, I am seeking your help.

Together, we will destroy this interstellar force that is trying to oppose the Great Being.

Serving and being loyal to a great being, dedicating everything we have, has always been our mission.

I believe none of you would reject the opinion of a great being.

The Black God Emperor didn't forget to throw a final message at the three of them.

“Naturally...for...master...we are willing...to dedicate everything...” the strange light and shadow spoke first.

A deep male voice spoke up at this moment: "Tell me, how much help do you need?"

However, the distances between us in space are extremely far, and you should be aware of the cost of long-distance deployment of legion fleets.

So don't expect us to be able to send too many legions or fleets over."

"Tell us what you want us to do," the woman's voice said.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was so direct, the Black God Emperor didn't mince words anymore.

He stated directly, "The military strength of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is considerable. With an interstellar legion fleet of equal size, none of our interstellar civilizations can match them."

Therefore, we need to have at least a ten to twenty-fold advantage in the number of interstellar warships, and naturally, the more the better.

Based on the intelligence information we have received so far.

The current number of active interstellar warships in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was six million before the war.

They possess strong military industrial capabilities and advanced technology, and their development speed is very fast.

Therefore, within thirty months, we speculate that the number of interstellar warships of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire may exceed twenty million.

Just in case, we set the target number at 30 million interstellar warships.

According to our plan, we will need to deploy at least 300 million ships.

Within these thirty months, our Devouring Civilization will expand its military and prepare for war at all costs.

According to my plan, by then we will have at least two hundred million interstellar warships when we devour civilizations.

Upon hearing the numbers announced by the Black God Emperor.

All three people present were visibly startled.

The implication of these words is undoubtedly that they hope the three civilizations can fill the gap of at least one hundred million interstellar warships.

"Does dealing with such an interstellar civilization require 300 million interstellar warships?" the sullen boy asked with some skepticism.

"I know that you look down on us Devouring Civilization because of this incident, and you have some criticisms of us Devouring Civilization."

If you don't know the military strength of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, how could you not know the military strength of our Devouring Civilization?

We, the Devouring Civilization, believe we need this many interstellar wars to deal with the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.

If it were possible, do you think I would seek the help of a great being?

You should know that seeking the help of a great being is undoubtedly leaving a bad impression on that great being.

If they weren't forced to, who would willingly do something that would backfire on them?

you?

Or is it you?

The Black God Emperor countered with a question to the person before him.

No one spoke. They all understood the meaning behind the Black God Emperor's words: their current status and everything they possessed were actually dependent on the great order of existence.

Therefore, leaving a bad impression on the great order of existence is undoubtedly the worst thing.

Nobody wants this to happen.

But none of the three spoke for a long time.

The Black God Emperor then spoke up directly: "Each of you should send 40 million elite fleets to support our battlefield."

"I will repay you for the raw materials and resources consumed in deploying the legion's fleet within the next fifty years after the war."

When they heard the number of forty million ships, the representatives of the three parties were clearly not very happy.

But when they heard that the Black God Emperor was willing to cover the round-trip 'travel expenses', they were somewhat tempted.

"What about the resources consumed by the war?"

"It was an interstellar warship that perished in battle." A deep male voice came from behind.

The Black God Emperor's heart sank. These guys.

While they will carry out the orders of the Great Order, they will also try to gain benefits for themselves from it.

The Black God Emperor said, "Take the war resources with you. I will repay you over the next fifty years."

As for the interstellar warships that perished in the battle.

I can cover half of the construction costs for you.

Surely you can't have done absolutely nothing in serving the Great Order!

The last sentence was the Black God Emperor's reminder to these people not to go too far.

The three of them were silent for a moment.

Finally, the female voice spoke first: "I can dispatch forty million interstellar warships for you."

It is expected to be in place by the 25th month from now.

A deep male voice said, "I can do that too."

However, there is an additional requirement: since you say that this Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is very strong, possesses advanced technology, and even has mass-produced near-T7 level interstellar warships.

At that time, all the technology acquired from this Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire must be shared.
