Chapter 462: The Morning Star Kingdom
Chapter 462: The Morning Star Kingdom
Over the years, the Civilization Great Wall stretched from west to east, eventually encompassing the entire Celestial Disk Galaxy within its defensive range.
The captains of the Flame Warships who witnessed this grand stellar fortress spanning countless light-years for the first time were awe-struck beyond words.
However, for Song Chi, it had become a familiar sight.
...
The location chosen for this post-war summary conference was the Calamity Star Floating Land, a seventh-level floating land.
As for the attendees, the minimum requirement was to have the strength of a Deer Hunt Ship Captain, and each party could only send one representative. Only those with a fifth-rank Battleship Captain could send multiple representatives.
For sixth-rank aristocratic families like the Song family, not only could all their Intrepid Ship Captains and Battleship Captains attend, but they could also bring along multiple Deer Hunt Ship Captains.
In a short time, thousands of Deer Hunt-level and above Flame Warships gathered in the sky above the Calamity Star Floating Land, with four Star Destroyer ships at the center of the crowd.
About ten minutes after the Song family's ten warships arrived, when all the representatives from various factions had gathered, the post-war summary conference officially began.
Without any unnecessary introductions, everyone was busy, and the Star Destroyer Captains still needed to further discuss the specific garrison work on the Civilization Great Wall. So, as soon as the four Star Destroyers jointly established a magnetic wave communication group chat, they got straight to the point.
"Radiant Han - Liu Shu: This is the expansion contribution data that the Kingdom's statistical department has compiled over the past three years. Take a look, and the subsequent allocation will be based on this contribution ranking. The higher the ranking, the higher the priority in allocation and the larger the star region they will receive!"
After speaking, a detailed expansion contribution table was uploaded to the group chat.
Song Chi quickly opened it, but his eyebrows furrowed almost immediately.
Cataclysmic Expansion War Contribution Chart:
1. Radiant Han Liu Clan
2. Northern Dome Shen Clan
3. Eastern Li Xiao Clan
4. Morningstar Republic and Stark Allied Fleet
5. Profound Han Yue Clan and Bell Allied Fleet
...
The rankings on this contribution list were quite interesting. Apart from the three ancient aristocratic families listed separately, the others were all listed as allied fleets.
However, this arrangement was much more convenient, avoiding many tedious negotiations. At least, that was the case for now. Any subsequent re-divisions and negotiations within the allied fleets were their own affairs and no longer required the attention of the Star Destroyer Captains.
Excluding the three ancient aristocratic families with a heritage spanning over ten thousand years, the Morningstar Republic and Stark Allied Fleet were ranked fourth on the list.
Everyone had anticipated this.
Not only had the Morningstar Republic and Stark Allied Fleet performed brilliantly in this expansion war, but the presence of a newly promoted Star Destroyer Captain also guaranteed their position below the three ancient aristocratic families.
What puzzled Song Chi was that according to previous speculations, the Morningstar Family, as the fourth ancient aristocratic family, should have been listed separately. Why was it still grouped with the allied fleet? Moreover, the words "Morningstar Republic" were clearly marked, which stood out prominently among the various kingdom forces.
"Could it be... that Lord Rosetta wants to establish a kingdom..."
Suddenly, Song Chi realized something, and his breathing became rapid. Even his carefully controlled face couldn't hide his obvious surprise.
By his side, Song Shiyuan on the Unmoving Bodhimanda immediately noticed his abnormality, or rather, the abnormality of the entire Song family, and even the representatives of the five major powers of the republic, their faces all showed signs of excitement.
As if to confirm everyone's thoughts, Rosetta Morningstar's indifferent voice sounded in the conference group chat.
"Regarding this expansion contribution chart, all the captains of the Morningstar Republic have no objections. However, before the final allocation, I'd like to inform everyone that three months from now, the Morningstar Republic will officially hold a Kingdom Promotion Ceremony. We hope that you can all attend and celebrate with us!"
With these words, the entire conference group chat fell silent.
The promotion of a republic to a kingdom was undoubtedly a joyous occasion from any perspective. However, at this moment, the representatives of the various factions in the group chat all felt a chill. Their gazes swept over the indifferent projected faces of the three Star Destroyer Captains of Radiant Han, but no one dared to be the first to offer congratulations.
Finally, Song Wujiang, the elder of the Song family, broke the silence with a smile:
"Good! Our Morningstar Republic has existed for over five thousand years, and now, with the emergence of a Star Destroyer Captain, we should celebrate!"
One after another, the representatives of the Jinjiao Lu Clan, the Huanghun Family, and the Xiongying Family also realized and voiced their agreement.
With the support of the republic's representatives, the kingdom's representatives naturally followed suit.
However, despite their congratulations, the representatives of the kingdom forces had mixed feelings.
The promotion of a republic to a kingdom meant a clear intention to compete for more territory under the watchful eyes of the three ancient aristocratic families of Radiant Han.
The Morningstar Republic—no, it should now be called the Morningstar Kingdom—the more resources and territories they acquired, the greater the eventual cost that would be equally distributed among the kingdom's forces.
Would the three ancient aristocratic families make up for this deficit? It was unlikely. Yet, despite this knowledge, no one dared to oppose it, not even the three Star Destroyer Captains of Radiant Han.
The four super empires of Flame Humanity strongly encouraged their subordinate forces to actively expand, especially when it came to new kingdoms. If anyone dared to cause trouble in such matters, they would immediately face the judgment of the Imperial Court.
Time passed, and after some negotiations, the expansion contribution chart was finally confirmed. Next was the official allocation of the star region spanning over 800,000 light-years, once controlled by the Calamity Star Civilization.
"Radiant Han - Liu Shu: First, the area within 300,000 light-years of the Calamity Star Floating Land will be controlled by the three ancient aristocratic families of Radiant Han!"
Naturally, the first allocation went to the three formidable ancient aristocratic families at the top of Radiant Han.
The 300,000 light-years around the Calamity Star Floating Land was an acceptable allocation for the various forces, and no one opposed it.
Although it was the most resource-rich region, it accounted for less than half the total area. Moreover, a significant portion of the Calamity Star Floating Land would be opened as a public area, making the overall allocation acceptable to all forces.
However, the subsequent allocations were not as pleasant.
"Radiant Han - Liu Shu: Next, the region from the Chaotic Star Region to the north, extending all the way to the northern Celestial Disk Galaxy of the Civilization Great Wall, will be allocated to the Morningstar Republic and Stark Allied Fleet."
"With the second division proposal, even with the consideration of Rosetta Morningstar, the newly appointed Star Destroyer Captain, the representatives of the various kingdoms dared not speak too harshly. Yet, the group chat was still filled with dissenting voices.
"The area of this star territory, which extends from the Chaos Territory all the way to the Civilization Great Wall, is likely to be no less than 250,000 light-years. How is that even possible?"
"Exactly. We can accept the Morningstar Family taking 100,000 light-years, but is it reasonable for the other families to divide 150,000 light-years among themselves?"
"No way, we disagree. There are still hundreds of us. If we calculate it this way, five families are dividing 150,000 light-years, while we hundreds are left with 250,000 light-years?"
"They have no right to do this! Absolutely not!"
...
For a moment, the group chat was in an uproar, with voices of dissent rising and falling.
As for the three Star Destroyer Captains of the Radiant Han Kingdom, though they remained silent, their gazes shifted towards Rosetta Morningstar, seemingly curious about her response.
Regarding this specific division proposal, the four Star Destroyer Captains had naturally discussed it beforehand, and the 250,000 light-year star territory was something Rosetta Morningstar had proactively suggested, so the other three were curious about the source of her confidence.
Ignoring the outsiders, Rosetta Morningstar's gaze shifted to Song Wujang, who was at the forefront of the Song Fleet.
The two exchanged a glance, and Song Wujang nodded slightly.
A familiar sound of the cabin door opening was heard, and the next second, a special battleship, tens of kilometers long and belonging to the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship, burst out.
As everyone was perplexed, this battleship, fundamentally different from the Flame Human Civilization Battleship, soared into the sky.
Once it reached a sufficient distance, the special battleship seemed to break free from its restraints, rapidly expanding in size.
Thirty thousand meters;
One hundred thousand meters;
Finally, the battleship swelled to a size of over ten thousand kilometers, making the Star Destroyers in front of it look several times smaller.
The eyes of the Flame Captains swept over the battleship, which was almost as if it could blot out the sky and cover the sun, with its incredibly durable super nuclear energy shield and the unconcealed golden star-destroying cannon at its bow. For a moment, everyone subconsciously swallowed.
After all, just from its exterior, the deterrence of this Tri-Eye Royal House Dominant Flagship was even more formidable than the four Star Destroyers present.
This super battleship undoubtedly possessed Dominant Power, and while its exact strength was unknown, it was certain that it could be associated with the word 'Dominant'.
This was the thought that arose in the hearts of all the Flame Captains present.
However, before they could think further, a calm voice emerged from the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship.
"Now, is it enough?"
No one spoke up, but all the previous voices of dissent had completely dissipated.
"I thought Rosetta's confidence came from somewhere, but it turns out it's a Tri-Eye Seventh Rank Flagship. What good luck!"
"Yes, sir!"
The several Star Destroyer Captains of the Radiant Han Kingdom had seen much, and they immediately recognized this special battleship. Knowing he couldn't hide it, Song Wujang nodded in acknowledgment.
After that, no one spoke up in opposition, and Liu Shu proceeded with the allocation of the subsequent teams.
Seeing that the result was basically settled, Song Wujang on the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship maintained his composure, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Strictly speaking, having an additional Dominant Power should be something the three Star Destroyer Captains of the Radiant Han Kingdom would welcome, as it could effectively alleviate the pressure of their future defense at the Civilization Great Wall.
With the Celestial Disk Galaxy now entirely under the jurisdiction of the Flame Human Civilization, things were different from before. Without the Cataclysmic Tribes Civilization as a buffer, the Radiant Han Kingdom was now directly connected to the Eight-Armed Serpent Civilization, and every additional Dominant Power meant an extra layer of security for the Celestial Disk Galaxy.
However, Song Wujang wasn't confident that the three Star Destroyer Captains would recognize it as a legitimate Star Destroyer beforehand. At this moment, taking advantage of Rosetta Morningstar's opportunity to establish a national territory, the formal recognition of this Tri-Eye Royal House Dominant Flagship by the two great kingdoms would have a significant impact on the future development of the entire Song Clan.
Not to mention, at the very least, the Anchor Sea Song Clan could now call themselves a semi-Immortal Clan. Even if outsiders didn't acknowledge this title, during the subsequent reallocation of the Morningstar Kingdom's territory, it could bring tangible benefits to the Song Clan.
Suppressing his excitement, Song Wujang's thoughts suddenly shifted, and he ordered the Tri-Eye Royal House Dominant Flagship above to quickly retract and be retrieved back into the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship.
As for the concern that this Dominant Flagship might be taken away, he had no such worries.
First, the Tri-Eye Royal House Flagship, which inherently possessed Dominant Power, wasn't something that could be taken away just by saying so. Second, even if a captain could do it, they would never dare to act here.
Joking aside, there were so many people watching, and even those unseen, including members of the Immortal Qin Ying Clan, were present. If anyone dared to make a move here, they would undoubtedly become the target of everyone's wrath.
After this interlude, the post-war summary conference continued for several more hours. However, even after the allocation was completed, the conference didn't end.
There were still the lists of high-rank resource points on various continents and the list of penalized forces that had privately exploited certain resources to be announced.
Both lists were extensive, involving a vast number of resource points and penalized forces, to the point of being somewhat intimidating.
Initially, there wasn't much reaction, but as time passed, people began to complain in the group chat, and the complaints grew more intense.
It wasn't that the several Immortal Clans lacked deterrence, and the listed resource points were all extremely valuable. The resources that needed to be compensated for were also of the same caliber, and these rare resources were crucial for Tier 4, Tier 5, and even ordinary Tier 6 Clans.
However, when Liu Shu personally stated that these orders came from the Immortal Qin Dynasty, the entire group chat fell silent once more.
They might dare to complain about the several Immortal Clans of the Kingdom, but this was the Immortal Qin Dynasty, the very heavens of the Flame Human Civilization.
The Song Clan, on the other hand, remained calm throughout, as they were not on any of the lists.
Song Wujang and Rosetta Morningstar had a deep cooperation, and with the protection of the Morningstar Family, a newly established Immortal Clan, the Song Clan would keep all the territories, continents, and resources allocated to them without having to pay tribute.
With that, the post-war summary conference came to a close, and the representatives of the various clans dispersed, with thousands of high-rank battleships quickly disappearing into the sky of the Calamity Star Floating Land.
