What was originally a short distance turned into an extremely tiring walk this time!
Soon, he stood before a magnificent desk inlaid with all sorts of precious jewels and rare objects.
A middle-aged man was working with his head down.
This is the supreme administrator of the Burns interstellar civilization.
The Burns interstellar civilization is a federal interstellar civilization that selects different levels of governors to manage affairs.
The highest-ranking governor is naturally responsible for managing the entire Burns interstellar civilization.
This is the man standing before me, Burns, the highest-ranking official.
"Why did you come all of a sudden? Is there something you need?" he asked without looking up.
"There is something very important."
I need to report this to you.
Before the Supreme Commander of Burns could speak, the Secretary General said directly, "Just now, the Lieutenant General of the Capital Star Garrison reported."
An interstellar fleet has appeared on the border of the capital star system.
They also had a video call with us.
They handed something to us.
This matter is very important, so I came directly to report to you.
The lieutenant general of the capital planet's garrison was also present.
Burns, the chief executive officer, looked up and noticed that a video communication window was always open around the secretary-general.
If anyone else did this, he would be very angry.
This is the office of the highest-ranking official; its importance and privacy are paramount.
However, the secretary-general was the person he trusted most, someone he had personally trained, so there must have been a reason for him to do this.
So instead of getting angry, the Supreme Commander Burns stopped what he was doing and looked at the Secretary General: "An unidentified interstellar fleet has intruded into the outer perimeter of the capital system."
There should be a procedure to handle this.
What's going on that makes you so rushed and disregard procedures?
Without offering further explanation, the Secretary General sent the electronic document to Burns, the Chief Executive.
"You'll know once you see it for yourself," the secretary-general said, not daring to say more.
So mysterious?
Burns, the highest-ranking official, frowned slightly, but still opened the electronic document first.
Since it was presented by the secretary-general, he wasn't worried about anything.
He became even more puzzled when he saw that it was just a picture inside.
He carefully examined the pattern in front of him.
Wait a minute... why does this pattern look so familiar?
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
Dragon pattern... dragon pattern design.
Fleet crests...
JF-17...
Burns, the Supreme Commander, suddenly stood up, staring in astonishment at the Secretary General and the lieutenant general's video window: "Is this the fleet crest of the Wyvern Legion?"
"Yes.
We also identified it as the emblem of the T6 Dragon Legion fleet from the T6 Dragon Interstellar Empire.
"Realizing that this matter is very important, that's why I've come to see you in such a hasty and impolite manner," the Secretary-General said solemnly.
"What exactly is going on?" Burns, the Supreme Commander, asked seriously.
The Secretary General looked at the lieutenant general on the other end of the video window, signaling him to explain again.
The lieutenant general then spoke up: "After we discovered the intruding interstellar fleet, we immediately followed the established procedures."
Surround, warn, inquire.
The other party contacted us proactively and sent me this document.
The person I was video chatting with was a man...
man?
"You said it was a man!" Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Supreme Commander Burns.
“I can confirm it.”
Judging from his demeanor, he should be the one from the rumors.
Although the enemy interstellar fleet's ships did not bear the emblem of the JF-17 fleet, I observed that those interstellar warships showed signs of camouflage.
They mostly operate in secrecy.
At the same time, the secretary next to that official reminded me to keep this matter a secret and to let as few other people know about it as possible.
"So I wanted to report directly to you..." The lieutenant general didn't finish his sentence, but just glanced at the secretary-general.
Burns, the highest-ranking official, looked at the secretary-general and asked, "You've seen it?"
The secretary-general immediately explained, "It happened so suddenly, I didn't know it was like this."
As the secretary-general, my duty is to be responsible for these matters, so...
"Okay, no need to say anything more."
"All I want to know now is whether anyone else besides the two of you knows about this?" Burns, the Supreme Commander, asked seriously.
"No."
"No!"
The two said in unison.
"good.
remember!
"Without my permission, from this moment on, you are not to divulge a single word about this matter!" Burns's tone was threatening.
"Understood!" the two replied immediately, their voices daring not to hesitate in the slightest.
At this moment, the Supreme Commander Burns' expression softened, and he said seriously, "Although the Dragon Star Empire has only recently risen to power..."
However, the military strength of an invading fleet that can defeat a civilization-devouring force must be superior to ours.
It could even rank among the top in T6 interstellar civilizations.
We are no match for them at all.
Such a character appears in our Burns interstellar civilization.
There must be some purpose behind it.
We must respond on a smaller scale.
However, since the other party is acting discreetly, unwilling to reveal their identity, and also unwilling to be too ostentatious.
That at least shows that their purpose in coming here was not to be our enemy.
However, we cannot let our guard down when dealing with powerful civilizations of this level.
The slightest misstep could plunge our Burns interstellar civilization into war.
The secretary general and the lieutenant general both nodded in agreement.
"Is this fleet still on the outskirts of our capital star system?" the Supreme Administrator of Burns inquired.
"Yes.
"Our people have been monitoring us the whole time," the lieutenant general explained.
After a moment's thought, the Supreme Commander of Burns immediately said, "Announce to the public that we are conducting military exercises in this area and no interstellar warships are permitted to enter."
You are responsible for monitoring this JF-17 fleet's interstellar fleet, cutting off their communications with the outside world, and allowing them to contact you and me directly.
"If we wait until this matter is over, we must thoroughly investigate all these individuals, thoroughly examine all their personal devices, and place them under close surveillance for the next three years."
"Understood." The lieutenant general replied without changing his expression or hesitation.
They didn't care at all that the fleet being 'monitored' was their own.
When something like this happens, you can only say they're unlucky.
The fact that the Supreme Ruler allowed them to live is already considered merciful.
If some unscrupulous leaders knew about this, they would be in even worse shape.
"Arrange my meeting with them next, and ensure confidentiality," the Chief Executive, Burns, instructed the Secretary-General.
“Okay, I’ll take care of it,” the secretary-general said.
All three people present had very serious expressions on their faces.
They were well aware that although this may have seemed like a simple meeting, its importance was no less than that of a war.
If not handled properly, anything can happen!
...
Soon, a short message was sent to the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.
Lilith checked the information and then looked at Emperor Xiaolong: "The Supreme Commander of Burns has invited you to a video conference."
Zhao Chen stretched and yawned: "It's alright, I didn't have to wait too long."
Let's make some arrangements.
"yes."
Soon, on a certain channel.
A conference room with a network holographic image.
Zhao Chen and Lilith appeared, and two people were already waiting on the other side.
The participants for this meeting were selected in advance, with two representatives from each side.
Zhao Chen's gaze swept over the two people, and based on their identities, a name immediately came to mind.
Burns, the chief executive officer, and his secretary.
He is currently at the pinnacle of power within the Burns interstellar civilization.
Meanwhile, the two people opposite them were also sizing up Zhao Chen and Lilith.
"Let me introduce myself."
Halisaca, the 139th Supreme Administrator of the Burns Interstellar Civilization.
"This is my secretary, Bekas," the Supreme Commander of Burns introduced himself, bowing to Zhao Chen, with his secretary following suit.
Since the other party was so friendly, Zhao Chen saw no need to put on airs. After giving a military salute, he said, "Zhao Chen, the first emperor of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."
This is my secretary, Lilith.
It really was this person.
Emperor Zhao Chen!
Although there had been speculation before, the confirmation of this fact shocked both Chief Executive Burns and his secretary.
After all, this Dragon Emperor has a great reputation in many universes.
Even if you haven't seen it, you know about the battle between the Dragon Star Empire and the Devouring Civilization.
It is also known that the Dragon Star Empire has a close relationship with the Holy Elf Empire.
Being able to become an ally of the Holy Elf Empire is extremely rare!
"Emperor Xiaolong, I have long admired you."
"May I ask what brings you to the Burns Interstellar Civilization from so far away?" the Burns Supreme Governor asked politely.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly, but what he said next really startled the other party.
"I came here specifically this time."
"I just want to ask, does the Burns Interstellar Civilization intend to wage war against our Wyvern Interstellar Empire?"
If it weren't for the fact that the highest-ranking official, Burns, was somewhat erratic, he would have already risen to prominence.
He suppressed his surprise and astonishment.
Burns, the Supreme Commander, asked in bewilderment, "What makes you say that, Emperor Dragon?"
We have no enmity between us, so why should I go to war with the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire?
Are you kidding me?
How powerful is the Dragon Empire? How foolish must their Burns civilization be to start a war with the Dragon Empire at this time?
Isn't that just courting death?
"Is that so? Then why? I have a fleet report to give."
"Are you, Burns Interstellar Civilization, going to take action against them?" Zhao Chen asked, squinting his eyes.
ah?
Seeing Emperor Xiaolong's attitude.
At this moment, even the highest-ranking official, Burns, began to have doubts.
Is there really such a thing?
Logically speaking, if the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was deliberately targeting the Burns Interstellar Civilization, there would be no need to come up with such a lame excuse.
But if such a thing really exists...
Burns, the Supreme Commander, swallowed hard, wondering why his neck felt a little cold.
