The smile on Chu Changhe's face disappeared.

Zhao Chen sighed deeply. Some things that need to be said must be said; some things that need to be faced must be faced.

"I think you should know that I've had some contact with the Machine Race during this period, and we've even collaborated on some projects." Zhao Chen poured Marshal Chu Changhe a cup of tea.

Chu Changhe remained silent.

Zhao Chen's interstellar industrial ships have been constructing stargates within the territory of the Machine Race for over half a month now.

With such a huge commotion, Chu Changhe couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

These are all facts.

To be precise, I met with a member of the Machine Race who claimed to be their supreme leader.

"She wants to recruit me," Zhao Chen said bluntly.

"You agree?" Chu Changhe's face was expressionless.

“I neither agreed nor disagreed,” Zhao Chen said.

Why?

"Because of the current situation, we have no choice."

The machine race is far more powerful than we imagine.

Marshal, you have been fighting against the Machine Race for many years.

"You must know a lot about the Machine Race," Zhao Chen countered.

Chu Changhe snorted coldly: "What I have most of is information on the Mechanical Race fleet."

"Then may I ask, before the Great Retreat, what level of the most advanced interstellar warships that the Machine Race fleet dispatched to the former Galactic Alliance side were?"

"Naturally, it's a T4 interstellar warship."

Zhao Chen said seriously, "But some time ago, I went to the Angel Clan."

In the other part of the universe, separated from the territory of the Machine Race, interstellar civilizations there also suffered invasions from the Machine Race. However, the strongest Machine Race interstellar warships that appeared there were not T4 level!

It's a T5-class interstellar warship!

Upon hearing this...

Chu Changhe frowned: "What you mean is that the Mechanical Race didn't actually use their full strength in their battles against us over the past thousand years."

Zhao Chen nodded and then said, "I don't know why either."

My intuition tells me that the Machine Race is very strong, at least beyond what the current Falcon Legion can contend with.

Previously, the million-strong Demon Starships had already caused our Xiaolong Legion to suffer considerable casualties.

The strength of the Machine Race allowed them to maintain a balance between the two regions and the major interstellar powers at their peak!

Who knows how strong the Machine Race is now, or how many T5 interstellar warships they actually possess?

Even... the T5 starship isn't their strongest starship.

Chu Changhe's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Zhao Chen stared at Chu Changhe: "Marshal, I know that you have a deep-seated hatred for the Mechanical Race because Chu Xuan's parents sacrificed themselves in the early battles against the Mechanical Race."

I neither object to nor will I stop you from seeking revenge.

But I can't let you go to your death.

Not to mention the 30,000 Chu family army fleet you currently command, or the 200,000 border imperial army fleet you secretly control.

That's all, not to mention the Mech race.

Even the entire army of the Holy Radiant Empire might not be able to defeat them.

How to fight against the machine race!

"Do you want Chu Xuan to watch her grandfather die before you're satisfied?"

After hearing Zhao Chen's words, Chu Changhe remained silent for a long time.

Chu Changhe sighed: "So, what exactly are you trying to say with all this rambling?"

"Make it quick!"

"I will not stop you from taking revenge."

Actually, I am also wary of the Machine Race. In the future, the Machine Race will most likely become our enemy.

However, we must be clear about our own strength.

We should not declare war on the enemy until we are absolutely certain of defeating them.

If one day in the future my Dragon Legion has enough strength, I may even accompany you on an expedition against the Machine Race!

You can take your revenge when the time comes, and I'll do my thing.

"So, I hope you won't do anything foolish right now," Zhao Chen said seriously.

Zhao Chen's intelligence department within the Xiaolong Galaxy Interstellar Group had actually discovered Marshal Chu Changhe's movements during this period long ago.

He appeared to have retired, but in reality, he had been preparing for a revenge expedition.

He was waiting for things to settle down on the Xiaolong Legion side before Old Master Chu Changhe would go and do that thing.

Unfortunately, various things have happened in this small area recently.

Demons, Zerg, and so on.

This forced Chu Changhe to repeatedly postpone his expedition and revenge plan.

Zhao Chen was also well aware of this thorn in Marshal Chu Changhe's side.

Rather than keeping it hidden and risking hurting this old man someday, it's better to have a frank conversation now.

"You little rascal, why are you suddenly talking to me so bluntly?"

I'm not used to it anymore.

"Do you still remember when you cooperated with our Chu family? We were both up to our own agendas." Marshal Chu Changhe looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, as if he were looking at his own grandson, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Zhao Chen said with a smile, "At that time, we probably had our own purposes."

But now, we are in the same boat.

I can assure you that as long as the Chu family doesn't abandon you, and as long as the Dragon King exists, your Chu family will prosper!

Marshal Chu Changhe didn't say much on this issue. The reason he was willing to help Zhao Chen before was actually because he had been observing the young man during that time.

Ultimately, I chose to trust this kid.

He even sent his granddaughter to the Xiaolong Legion.

All of this indicates that Old Master Chu Changhe had already made his choice.

"Although I am old, I am not stubborn."

I can promise you that I won't do those things for now.

As for your dealings with the machine race, I can't be bothered with that, nor can I.

Hearing Marshal Chu Changhe's promise, Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, you never let me do anything."

"I'm such a bored old man." Marshal Chu Changhe suddenly changed the subject, spreading his hands.

Then he looked at Zhao Chen with a smile and said, "Why don't you hurry up and give me a great-grandson so I can enjoy being a grandson?"

A few black lines appeared on Zhao Chen's forehead. How did this old man suddenly bring up himself in the middle of the conversation?

"Cough cough cough... This... This matter... can't be rushed... Besides, Chu Xuan and I... it's not even close to being settled yet." Zhao Chen said somewhat guiltily.

What's more, he already has two on his side now.

Chu Changhe squinted at this moment: "This old man of mine is a bit emotionally unstable."

Without the little one by my side, I might get into a bad mood, and who knows, one day I might lead our fleet into some kind of trouble.

This old man was actually threatening people in his words!

Zhao Chen immediately said, "Let's talk about this again."

By the way, it's been a long time since you've seen your granddaughter, hasn't it?

That's perfect, I'll take you to your granddaughter's place.

"Let Chu Xuan give you a proper tour of this Dragon Emperor."

After saying that, Zhao Chen immediately gave Lilith an order.

They teleported to the location of Chu Xuan's fleet and then teleported Chu Xuan there.

Chu Xuan, who was busy with her own affairs, felt somewhat at a loss when she saw her grandfather and Zhao Chen appear in front of her.

"Why did you suddenly call me here? I'm busy over there."

Before Chu Xuan could finish speaking, Zhao Chen pulled her in front of Old Master Zhao.

"I'll assign someone else to handle your matter."

Tell me, how long has it been since you spent time with the old man?

While you have this time, spend some quality time with the old man and let him tour the Dragon Emperor starship.

That's decided!

I can't stay in front of this old man for too long, so I can only pass this troublesome matter to Chu Xuan.
