After discussing with the Flame Elf King.

Zhao Chen, on the other hand, was not idle.

Even if the Flame Elf King's side and the High Council and several Elf Kings of the Holy Elf Empire agree to this cooperation.

However, Zhao Chen also needs to make corresponding preparations.

Even if a new universe were to appear before Zhao Chen, he would still need to have sufficient ability to explore it and to deal with any possible situations.

Regarding this matter.

Zhao Chen specially invited Charlotte and Lilith to a meeting to discuss the matter.

“If we can indeed obtain resources from other new universes, it would be a tremendous help to our current situation in the Dragon Empire,” Lilith nodded and said.

She then added, "But there is also a problem with this."

That is, what attitude will the civilizations in the new universe have towards our arrival?

The conclusions can only be in a few possible directions.

The first scenario: The other party is initially friendly towards us and willing to engage in peaceful communication and contact.

If that's the case, then it's actually the most acceptable situation for us. In this way, we can get the greatest benefit with the least cost.

We can engage in trade with their interstellar civilizations, providing them with the resources they need in exchange for the supplies we require.

In this way, our trade volume will double, which will also be a way to strengthen our Dragon Empire.

Zhao Chen nodded. He knew very well that war was always the worst means. If one could get what one wanted without war, that would be the best strategy.

However, such situations are extremely rare.

"The second scenario is that the other party is wary of us. They may want to contact us, but they will keep their distance. In this case, our cooperation will be very troublesome and difficult."

After all, we don't have much time right now to work things out with them and get them to accept us little by little.

In such a situation, the actual circumstances would be quite complex, and there could be many ways to deal with it, including the possibility of war.

The third scenario is that the other party resists or even is hostile to our presence.

In this situation, we may need to resort to force to persuade the other party to dissolve and understand the situation with us.

The appropriate level of force to be used will depend on the specific circumstances.

At this moment, Charlotte added, "If we are to use force, we need to first understand the strength of these interstellar civilizations and the level of force required."

After all, we are still at war with the interstellar fleet that is devouring civilizations.

It would be difficult to spare additional troops to wage war against other interstellar civilizations.

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I have considered this point, so my idea of ​​expanding outwards is currently just a concept."

If we really want to get to the bottom of things, the first thing we need to do is end this war, or at least reduce the level of this war to some extent.

So, I'm just here to share this idea of ​​mine with you all.

Charlotte nodded, then continued, "Even if the war stops, we cannot use too many troops."

After all, such a large-scale operation as attacking other interstellar civilizations would inevitably be detected by the Devouring Civilization.

If our Dragon Empire universe becomes militarily weak as a result, they are very likely to launch an invasion against us at this time.

"If we don't have enough troops to cover both ends, then this plan will be like shooting ourselves in the foot."

Zhao Chen nodded, and said with a serious expression, "I've thought of all these issues as well."

This whole plan is actually very risky.

However, this is also to ensure that our Dragon Empire has more leverage in the face of future dangers.

The path that must be taken.

Otherwise, if we continue to entangle ourselves with the devouring civilization as things stand, our development will actually be slowed down to some extent.

Charlotte and Lilith both agreed with this idea.

Lilith then said, "Actually, as we just said, external development doesn't necessarily rely on war."

If we encounter certain situations, we can certainly use some methods.

In essence, these are universes, but simply put, they are nothing more than two forces.

Two empires, two star systems.

Actually, there isn't much difference.

At that time, we can divide our targets, offer them some incentives, or support and assist some interstellar forces that are willing to accept us.

This can reduce the pressure on ourselves.

Lilith's idea is also very good.

Zhao Chen and his two companions discussed things in secret, and they would write down any good ideas they came up with.

We chatted for almost an hour.

Zhao Chen glanced at the time.

Then he looked at Charlotte: "We have five hours left out of the seven days we were given."

Are you prepared on the battlefield?

Charlotte nodded and said seriously, "You can rest assured, we are ready on every battlefield."

Although we cannot annihilate the enemy completely, we are prepared to deal with any possible actions they may take next.

Even if the enemy launches a new offensive, we are fully capable of handling it!

Charlotte was very confident.

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "We gained the advantage in this war by using seven supernova ultimate bombs."

This weapon is very powerful, but its construction cost is also extremely high.

We only had ten in our hands during this period, and now we've used seven of them at once, leaving us with only three left.

Furthermore, with the current shortage of raw materials, the desire to mass-produce the Supernova Ultimate Bomb will inevitably squeeze the production of combat resources and interstellar warships.

Therefore, these three supernova ultimate bombs may be among the few cards we have left in our hands for a long time to come.

But, after we use it this time...

It's like telling the Devouring Civilization that we have this trump card, but they don't know how much we still have left.

Therefore, the timing and context in which these three supernova ultimate bombs are used are extremely important.

Charlotte also strongly agreed with Zhao Chen's view.

These three supernova ultimate bombs are the key to deterring and devouring civilizations for the Dragon Empire for a long time to come.

"We have five hours left, so let's call this meeting to a close for now."

Charlotte, return to your post and take charge of matters on the battlefield.

If you need anything or have any questions, please contact me and Lilith directly.

"We will provide you with the greatest possible assistance from the rear!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes," Charlotte replied, and her holographic image disappeared.

Now, only Zhao Chen and Lilith remained.

"Let's not just sit idly by."

We also need to be fully prepared for these five hours.

Those guys might really go crazy and do something drastic.

We have now committed almost all of our forces to seven interstellar battlefields.

If, at this moment, the Devouring Civilization were to send another interstellar fleet to our space territory to establish other interstellar battlefields, it would be an enormous pressure and disaster for us!

This is the worst-case scenario.

"Although... we may not be able to stop it, we must find a way to minimize the danger as much as possible." Zhao Chen looked at Lilith seriously.

Lilith nodded: "The arrangements for the rear have always been explained."

Our Dragon Empire is in a state of first-level war across the country, although these are all second- or third-line fleets.

But if they were to encounter an interstellar fleet capable of devouring civilizations, at least delaying them for a while would be possible.

Hearing what Lilith said...

Zhao Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and rubbed his temples: "We are still too weak."

That's why we need to worry about these things.

I really hope this damn battle ends soon.

When will that damned order be completely eradicated?!

As long as order is not destroyed, Zhao Chen's Dragon Empire will never have a day of peace.

Order was like a guillotine hanging over Zhao Chen's head, ready to fall at any moment and destroy Zhao Chen and everything he possessed.

Zhao Chen would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

He had sworn that he must protect everything he owned.

Even though he no longer has the system, even though he may not be the chosen one.

But at least for now, everything he wants to protect is here!

Five hours.

It passes by little by little.

Zhao Chen wasn't the only one on edge; the Holy Elf Legion fleet fighting in the Dragon Empire was also tense.

The Flame Elf King is also closely observing these events.

She did not rush back to the Holy Elf Empire to discuss the matter with the High Council and the Elf Kings after the previous meeting.

After all, if the Devouring Civilization intensified its attack on the Dragon Empire, and was willing to do anything to destroy the Dragon Empire.

Even if the Dragon Empire possessed the ability to search for the coordinates of other interstellar universes, it wouldn't have the resources to travel to those universes.

Therefore, the key to everything lies in the present moment.

The Flame Elf King sat on his throne, a faint anxiety on his face.

This was the first time she had prayed for a force or people that were not part of the Holy Elf Empire.

Whether from the perspective of the Holy Elf Empire's interests or from her personal perspective.

She didn't want to see Zhao Chen and his Xiaolong Empire perish here.

She was also very clear about one thing in her heart.

Devouring civilizations is not the real enemy.

Order is what matters.

Even if a 'devouring civilization' is destroyed, order can still cultivate a second and a third 'devouring civilization'.

Only by completely destroying order can they have true peace.
