"Grandpa? Is there still no news from Zhao Chen?" Chu Xuan asked anxiously in a video window.
Chu Changhe opened his mouth, but still didn't speak.
Chu Xuan understood what her grandfather meant.
She bit her lip lightly, then resolutely said, "I will lead my army to the Azure Star Region to find Zhao Chen!"
"No! Before Zhao Chen left, he specifically instructed us that no matter if it is our Chu Family Legion, the North Wind Legion, or the Imperial Princess Fleet Group, none of us are allowed to leave the area we are responsible for defending!"
"Nobody knows what kind of conspiracy Qin Xiaotian is plotting behind all this!" Chu Changhe interrupted.
Chu Xuan retorted, "Zhao Chen hasn't contacted us yet, which means he's in danger."
He has helped us many times. Even in this civil war, if it weren't for his Dragon Legion stepping forward, our Chu family would never be where we are today.
Even if you won't let me take the Chu family fleet to find him, fine! Then I'll go by myself!
Even if I had to pilot the shuttle myself, I would still go!
Looking at his granddaughter's emotionally distraught {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} expression, Chu Changhe sighed inwardly. His granddaughter had previously said that she and Zhao Chen had no relationship whatsoever and that they were innocent.
Now his granddaughter is even willing to venture into the Azure Star Region alone for Zhao Chen, and she says that she doesn't have Zhao Chen in her heart. He would never believe it.
But given his granddaughter's current situation, he knew her personality; since it was her decision, no amount of persuasion would change anything.
Unless I put her under house arrest right now.
Even if she's under house arrest, she'll still try every means to escape and find Zhao Chen.
"Report! News from the Dragon Legion!" a communications soldier suddenly shouted.
At this moment, Chu Changhe looked at the young communications soldier and felt that the kid was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.
"Quick! Bring it to me!" Chu Changhe ordered, looking at his granddaughter. "Look, the Xiaolong Legion has sent word." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
I told you, that kid's tough as nails, he'll be fine.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and see what's going on!" Chu Xuan rolled her eyes and urged her grandfather. Right now, she really couldn't stop thinking about Zhao Chen.
Especially when she heard that Zhao Chen had gone missing, she felt as if she had lost half her life.
Seeing his granddaughter like this, Chu Changhe could only shake his head and sigh, "She's really found a lover and forgotten her grandfather."
"If you keep nagging, believe me, next time I'll shave all your beard off after you fall asleep!" Chu Xuan threatened bluntly.
Chu Changhe immediately became obedient, because this aunt had indeed done such a thing before, and his subordinates had all been trying hard to suppress their laughter when they saw it.
He immediately ordered everyone to shave their beards!
Let's get back to the main topic.
The communication with the JF-17 Legion has been established.
Zhao Chen appeared in the video window.
"Zhao Chen!" Chu Xuan couldn't help but call out Zhao Chen's name. When Zhao Chen saw her, her ears even turned red.
Chu Changhe looked at the young couple. Was it over already?
With such a great opportunity, can't we be more proactive?
He now understood that Zhao Chen was a total straight man, and his granddaughter was shy and stubborn. Given this situation, he didn't know when he would ever be able to hold his great-grandson.
It seems I need to think of a solution.
"Chu Xuan is here too? How are your defenses in various places? Has Qin Xiaotian made any moves against you?" Zhao Chen asked.
"What's wrong with you, kid? You suddenly disappeared, making Xuan...we were all so worried."
"I've also heard that an unidentified fleet has attacked the Xiaolong star system? What exactly is going on?" Chu Changhe asked.
Zhao Chen recounted what had happened to Chu Changhe and Chu Xuan, including the Zerg fleet and the Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg hive mothership.
That's pretty much the situation.
Now it seems this wasn't an operation targeting my sister's Imperial Princess Fleet, but rather a diversionary tactic.
I was the big fish Qin Xiaotian wanted to catch, but unfortunately his fishing rod was flimsy. He almost drowned himself instead of catching me.
"The situation in the Xiaolong Galaxy has basically stabilized, and there haven't been any major losses," Zhao Chen said.
"That kid Qin Xiaotian actually has the technological means to control the Zerg hive mothership? And he even has a Leviathan-King-class Zerg hive mothership that's almost T5 level?"
No wonder this kid dared to kill Qin Ming and declare himself emperor.
"It seems this is his trump card." Chu Changhe frowned and said, "Now it seems that attacking the Imperial Capital Star will not be a simple matter for us."
Moreover, Qin Xiaotian has many things we don't know about, such as a long-range troop deployment method similar to your T4 Huiguang-class interstellar warp ship.
If we don't figure these things out, and we put all our forces on the front lines, what if Qin Xiaotian launches a surprise attack on our base?
Even if we use your T4 Radiant-class interstellar warship to directly attack the Imperial Capital. freewebnovel.cσ๓
But we don't know how many Zerg warships Qin Xiaotian actually has. You predicted less than 200,000. You killed quite a few this time, but there were still more than 100,000. What if... I mean, what if Qin Xiaotian still has some?
And that Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg mothership you severely damaged, it was practically a Tier 5 Zerg mothership. If there's a second, or even a third one...
If we act rashly, we could very well make things worse and give the enemy an opportunity!
Chu Changhe was very cautious, but what he said was not without reason.
They dared to go all out against Qin Ming because they knew how much wealth Qin Ming had.
But what about Qin Xiaotian?
Besides what he has shown so far, who knows if he has any other trump cards up his sleeve?
Interstellar war is a high-stakes gamble, and one that cannot be lost.
Chu Changhe dared not be careless.
Zhao Chen nodded: "I understand what you mean. Actually, this is also part of my thinking."
Given the current situation, we cannot act rashly, but we also cannot remain inactive.
Therefore, my idea is that we should conduct localized wars within our control.
"While constantly probing Qin Xiaotian's trump cards, I can also use this time to further expand my Dragon Slayer Legion and gather more combat resources."
Chu Changhe nodded; he shared the same thought.
He found himself increasingly admiring Zhao Chen. If he didn't know it was impossible, he would even suspect that Zhao Chen was his lost grandson.
“I can agree to all your plans, but I have one request.”
"Please speak."
"I hope that Chu Xuan can join your Dragon Legion and learn from you."
