Chapter 113 107 Expedition to the Emerald Sea Star (Part 1)



Bai Zhongqi was the type to act upon his thoughts and, although the richness of Emerald Sea Star was still below the average level of habitable planets, for Bai Zhongqi, who had just truly become the Imperial Chancellor, monopolizing a planet was a novel experience, and he was thrilled with the novelty.

Previously, Earth still had various other considerations, and Bai Zhongqi did not wish to employ drastic measures to conquer Earth, because doing so would be less advantageous than his current strategy with the Star Alliance, and the destruction would be too great.

As for the civilization of Emerald Sea Star, Bai Zhongqi briefly observed that its civilizational development was quite similar to Earth's, and its culture was singularly uniform and barren, constantly in a state of chaos with incessant wars and turmoil.

If this planet were left to its own devices, he feared its inhabitants would continue wantonly killing each other for a thousand more years, without giving birth to any significant civilization.

The "mages" on this planet were an interesting group, Bai Zhongqi had a premonition that they might be Emerald Sea Star's most valuable asset.

With his plan decided, Bai Zhongqi did not wish to delay and immediately ordered Xu Lanzhou to prepare the Sacred Falcon for a personal visit to Emerald Sea Star.

The other ships in the fleet could not match the speed of the Sacred Falcon. As the main battle ship, the Sacred Falcon could achieve Warp Speed 2 and beyond, with its generated Warp Bubble capable of carrying other ships through space.

The Insight took several days to arrive at Centauri Alpha from the periphery of the asteroid belt in the Solar System, but the Sacred Falcon could reach a staggering WarpER5 speed, that is, 2.2 light-years per hour, allowing it to reach Emerald Sea Star from Earth's orbit in just over two hours.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Sacred Falcon originally had three sets of crew teams, including a reserve force. However, since Bai Zhongqi was expanding the fleet, the reserve crew had, in fact, been allocated other tasks, or were preparing to receive new ships in Ruyi City.

For the trip to Emerald Sea Star, Bai Zhongqi only took a little over a hundred Universe Army crewmembers, but there were also a significant number of bionic human crewmembers and soldiers available for deployment. Discover stories at empire

Before departing, the Marine Commander Xiao Yu came to pay his respects to His Majesty the Imperial Chancellor.

Towards this person who had once doubted him upon his arrival at Iridium Star, Bai Zhongqi did not hide his dislike. However, Bai Zhongqi could not simply eliminate him for having doubted him.

He was a descendant of the Knight of Destiny, with some influence in the Marine Corps, and a purge would most certainly destroy the Marine Corps entirely, and might even lead to hundreds of Iridium Star natives' deaths. Bai Zhongqi now regarded the life of every Iridium Star citizen as precious and naturally could not do such a thing.

These days, Xiao Yu was submissive and very perceptive, this person seemingly had no shame; every time he saw Bai Zhongqi, he would always start with excessive flattery, making him seem excessively obsequious.

"Your Majesty, as you embark on the campaign to Emerald Sea Star, the elites of the Marine Corps anticipate eagerly, hoping Your Majesty will cast a favorable eye and allow us imperial warriors to don our gear and fight valiantly to break through the enemy for Your Majesty," Xiao Yu said with an air of righteousness, but coupled with his sycophantic demeanor, he seemed almost clownish.

In reality, Bai Zhongqi had observed this guy. After being sidelined by Bai Zhongqi, Xiao Yu remained very docile on Iridium Star, with nary a complaint, as if fearful of the Chancellor's reprisal. Even when Bai Zhongqi had previously drawn personnel from the Marine Corps to establish the Orbital Paratroopers, Xiao Yu supported the decision wholeheartedly.

Unlike Xu Lanzhou, Du Peng, and others, when Bai Zhongqi proposed something, Xu, Du, and the rest might think it over for a while and then offer suggestions or even consider it unfeasible. Xiao Yu, however, would execute Bai Zhongqi's commands with absolute fidelity and never failed to sing his praises afterward.

His behavior not only earned Bai Zhongqi's contempt but also made many from the Iridium Star look down on him. After all, Xiao Yu had previously been a haughty figure within the fleet, but now he behaved like a mere servant, which many found despicable.

Bai Zhongqi had no intention of completely wiping out the forces on the Emerald Sea Star this time. The military power on the planet was at most equivalent to that of Earth in the 18th century.

He believed that sending the Marine Corps or Orbital Paratroopers, or even if he borrowed troops from Country C to form a fully equipped Army regiment, obliterating the main force of the Emerald Sea Star's military wouldn't pose the slightest difficulty.

The "Mage" worth being wary of was, after all, too few in number, and with Nan Ma in place, Bai Zhongqi was not worried at all.

Going to the Emerald Sea Star, Bai Zhongqi would certainly land and have a look himself. If necessary, he would also take military action. For this purpose, he had installed in the Sacred Falcon's hold the troop strength of more than 5000 bionic soldiers from three regiments of the assault corps.

Although the infantry of the assault corps didn't wear Tiberius Heavy Armor like the Orbital Paratroopers, they were equipped with the Empire-standard Army-Breaker Type Single Armor. With these incredibly versatile forces, capable of conquering the skies and earth, Bai Zhongqi was confident that even Earth's military might would be easily flattened by the mere 5000 soldiers of the assault corps.

Since Xiao Yu had the inclination, Bai Zhongqi also didn't want to see the Iridium Star Marine Corps fall into ruin under his command, especially since, as far as he knew, the soldiers' loyalty to the Empire and the Chancellor was beyond question. He was unwilling to vent his frustration on the entire Marine Corps just because of one man's folly.

The Marine Corps was also to recruit new soldiers from Earth in the future, to be re-expanded and retrained. After giving it some thought, Bai Zhongqi decided to pull out a platoon from the Marine Corps to serve as his personal escort. To be the force accompanying the Chancellor in person was an honor indeed.

There were only three platoons in the Marine Corps at the time, and the prospect of accompanying Bai Zhongqi in person was so enticing that they almost fought over it. In the end, Xiao Yu had the three platoons participate in a friendly match, and the second platoon, triumphing in the contest, won this precious opportunity.

The Iridium Star Universe Army was on a high level of war readiness, and Xu Lanzhou managed to complete all the preparations for setting out in less than one hour. The last one dragging their feet turned out to be Bai Zhongqi, the Imperial Chancellor, himself.

He didn't feel embarrassed by making the Empire's soldiers wait for him. For this expedition to Emerald Sea Star, Bai Zhongqi planned not only to take the Iridium Star's main force but also to bring other individuals along.

Firstly, on a more personal note, Bai Zhongqi had rather purposefully sent a message to Han Jiaxue, saying he was going to another planet and inviting his girlfriend to accompany him. After slowly coming to terms with becoming the Chancellor of the Iridium Star, Han Jiaxue took the invitation as a unique kind of date.

While other boys may invite their girlfriends to famous scenic spots, Bai Zhongqi was leading his girlfriend to an alien planet.

Then there were the individuals from Country C. Xiang Fei, a senior official responsible for liaising and cooperating with the Iridium Star, upon receiving Bai Zhongqi's invitation, immediately rushed from his office in Ruyi City to the Ruyi City Spaceport and boarded the Sacred Falcon.

Bai Zhongqi's movements were hasty; he didn't really want too many people from Country C to accompany him, but he was flashing a most tempting bait in front of them.
