Chapter 568: Chapter 418 Request for Peace_2 Chapter 568: Chapter 418 Request for Peace_2 “Damn, one step too late!”
Seeing this, General Baroque unsatisfiedly pounded the arm of his chair. Even though he didn't wholly agree with this relentless pursuit plan, the sight of the enemy escaping from his grasp still deeply annoyed him.
Hence, General Baroque quickly contacted General Kislyov, starting to complain.
“What do we do now? Kislyov?”
“Hehehe, don't worry, Baroque, we just need to watch from now on.”
“Just watch?”
As General Baroque looked puzzled, suddenly, he saw a Tribunal warship slowly move forward, coming up to the Batarei military stronghold planet. Then, a torpedo was quietly launched from it, heading for the Batarei planet.
The next moment, the whole planet was instantly covered by an explosive fire, turning into a death star in the blink of an eye.
“Hiss————–!!!”
Seeing this, General Baroque's eyes widened in shock, his body shivering. He finally understood why Kislyov insisted that they must catch up!
They were here to watch a spectacle!
Previously, the Star Union claimed that they had destroyed the Batarei home world, which raised many questions among the public and even the army — after all, they hadn't heard about the Star Union having any special weapons. Who did it?
Now, seeing this scene, Baroque understood.
It was this fleet that did it!
So that's it…
At this point, Baroque completely understood that all this from the beginning was a play, and they were all actors in this play. The objective was to stage such a war to prove the strength of the humans to all factions!
“Alright, General Baroque, it's over.”
At this point, Kislyov's voice came through.
“We should go back and pop the champagne.”
In this way, the fleet of the Star Union and the Tribunal returned in triumph, and the entire battle process was publicized by the Star Union. For a time, the citizens of the Star Union were cheering and jumping for joy, especially when the Tribunal warship destroyed the Batarei military stronghold planet with a single torpedo, it excited many people immensely.
Clearly, this demonstrated that the Star Union was telling the truth when they claimed to have destroyed the Batarei homeworld!
After this battle, the power of the Batarei people declined sharply. After that, conflicts and disagreements arose within the Batarei due to heavy losses. The previously united Batarei civilization split into several small groups, no longer having their past prestige.
Of course, this is another story, so let's not go into it now.
The battle between the Star Union and the Batarei fleet was naturally witnessed by the three major species of the Divine Assembly. If there were any doubts about the humans destroying the Batarei homeworld before, then this time, they saw clearly how the other party could annihilate a planet!
At this point, the three major species could not sit still anymore.
They knew of course that the turning point of this war was when those gigantic warships quietly appeared among the Batarei fleet. Obviously, this terrifying force had very formidable strength, easily sneaking into other fleets' patrols to launch surprise attacks. Coupled with fierce gunfire and near impassable shields, this was simply unbeatable!
So quickly, the Divine Assembly Council sent representatives again, but this time they were not here to mediate, but to seek peace!
Against such a fleet, all races of the Divine Assembly combined probably wouldn't be able to win! Not to mention, the fact that they could quietly appear in any corner without anyone noticing implies that they could potentially appear at the homeworld of other species at will… how could they fight this?
It's not the thief you should be afraid of, but the thief who desires.
There is no other way, but to seek peace.
Of course, initially, representatives of the Divine Assembly attempted to flaunt their status due to their long history as cosmic species. However, to Li Longcheng, after learning that the entire Milky Way was once the territory of the Human Empire, he did not care for their petty bourgeois pretending to be nobility.
The negotiations between the two parties essentially went like this:
Divine Assembly Representative: Our Divine Assembly member states span the Milky Way, possessing vast resources and financial trade channels. If you do not join us, you will be excluded! Completely isolated!
Li Longcheng: We have an Extinction Order.
Divine Assembly Representative: Our Divine Assembly species have tens of thousands of warships! If you really upset us, even humans will face a catastrophic disaster.
Li Longcheng: We have an Extinction Order.
Divine Assembly Representative: You humans are acting so ruthlessly and unscrupulously! Aren't you afraid of being despised by other cosmic civilizations?
Li Longcheng: We have an Extinction Order.
Divine Assembly Representative: Can't you say something else?
Li Longcheng: We have an Extinction Order.
Divine Assembly Representative: You're not done, are you!!
Li Longcheng: We have an Extinction Order.
Divine Assembly Representative: … Let's talk about specific conditions.
Li Longcheng: We have an Extinction Order.
Divine Assembly Representative: ………
In the end, the Star Union and the Divine Assembly Council reached a series of agreements, including the Star Union joining the Divine Assembly as a permanent council member and gaining preferential treatment in interstellar commerce. There were also a series of agreements regarding finance, commerce, services, trade and personnel exchanges, technology exchanges.
After lowering their stance, the Divine Assembly gave face to the Star Union, and the Star Union also didn't push the Divine Assembly too hard. Both parties reached a series of mutually beneficial agreements. Of course, the Star Union was definitely the bigger beneficiary.
After the agreements were signed, the representative of the Divine Assembly finally relaxed, but he still remembered his mission.
“Mr. President, I believe you know that there's a clause about military force limits in the treaty we signed. That massive fleet, its weight and size have exceeded the standards set by the Divine Assembly……”
“Oh, about that……”
Hearing this, Li Longcheng had a sudden realization, nodding his head.
“No problem, I can contact the representative of the Tribunal and let the two of you sit down and have a good talk.”
“………? What do you mean???”
“The Tribunal is our ally of the Star Union, but it is an independent entity.”
Seeing the confused look on the face of the representative of the Divine Assembly, Li Longcheng kindly explained.
“We have a mutual defence pact, but the fleet of the Tribunal is not subordinate to us, so… if you want to talk about military tonnage limit issues, you have to talk to them directly.”
“………”
At this instant, the representative of the Divine Assembly was so infuriated that he even considered tearing the agreement and throwing it on Li Longcheng's face.
What the hell, you're fucking toying with me?
But he couldn't…I'm so angry!!!
