Chapter 132: Recruiting and Joining Forces

What did you two mean just now?

"We both think Xiaolu is great."

"Honestly, you two are in such a hurry. First you asked if she had asked him out to dinner, and now you're saying you'll arrange for her to stay with us in the future."

"Big brother, didn't you see the way Xiaolu was staring at you during dinner?"

"So what? She's still a little girl, going through puberty, that's normal. We'll just let her meet more outstanding men in the future."

"You're oversimplifying things. Xiaolu has truly fallen for you."

"You two are really something. I'll try to avoid contact with her in the future. If this continues, it will definitely ruin her."

"You saved her back then, but you ended up harming her."

Zhou Yuan was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, what Wei Shan and Lefia said seemed to make sense. Whether to save her or not would be a whirlpool for Chu Xiaolu.

"Brother, you were smiling while eating. Do you have a good plan for dealing with the rebel forces of the two great civilizations, Kesman and Dolai?"

"We got the inspiration from Xiaolu. We're trying to win over these two major rebel forces to prepare for a future counterattack. The most important thing right now is how to gain their trust. We'll put on an act with them and hopefully persuade them to surrender."

"So how do we implement this plan?"

“I want to personally contact the leaders of the two major rebel forces. On the one hand, I want to demonstrate the Empire’s technological strength to give them confidence to join us. On the other hand, I want to give them some benefits. If they get satisfactory benefits, they will naturally not cause any major trouble. This is also a way to appease them.”

"I'm worried that one of them might inform on us."

"We should be careful about that."

"Brother, if only we had more time."

"Ya Mei, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"If you have enough time, you should be their leader!"

“The princess is right, you have the demeanor of a leader,” Wei Shan echoed.

"Ya Mei, I think you're more suitable."

"Haha, the three of us, what are you bragging about? Let's get the plan moving. This time, you're not going to make contact with the two major rebel forces alone again, are you?"

"Well, you two shouldn't go."

"No, we have to keep an eye on you, otherwise there will be a second Chu Xiaolu."

"Are you both going?"

"Both go."

"Ok."

Based on the information provided by Balatu and observed through the "Eye of the Stars," the fleet base began dispatching superphoton quark reconnaissance aircraft to the gathering places of the rebel forces of the two major civilizations, Kesman and Dolai, to investigate the situation of the rebel forces and gather information on their main leaders. Zhou Yuan and the others patiently awaited the reconnaissance results.

Three days later, a Hercules warship departed from the fleet base, accelerated, and began warp drive, its target being the Dolay rebel base.

Having just emerged from warp drive, the Hercules detected a massive fleet looming ahead. The Hercules immediately halted, facing the enormous fleet at a distance.

The Hercules received a periodic photoelectric signal, which, after analysis, read: "This is the interstellar territory of the Dolai civilization. I am the fleet commander Solon. Please change course immediately, or we will open fire."

“Commander Solon, hello. I am Zhou Yuan, the commander of the Earth Human Civilization. I would like to speak with your Supreme Commander, Lord Plas.”

"How do you know about our Commander-in-Chief Plath?"

"When Lord Plath was dissatisfied with the absurd behavior of the Great Wall 'Consul', he resigned in anger to uphold justice and punish evil. Lord Plath's reputation as a chivalrous man spread far and wide."

"Human civilization on Earth? I remember now. Yakshi, you're the ones who took care of him, aren't you?"

"Yes, Jacques has committed many evils."

"But you serve the consuls!"

“Commander Solon, we had no choice. To be honest, Lord Balatu did indeed give us orders to destroy you and the Kesman civilization.”

"Destroy us? What a boastful tone."

“Commander Solon, I think you’ve misunderstood. We’ve come here to negotiate cooperation with you.”

"Negotiation and cooperation?" The other party hesitated for a moment. "Wait a moment, I need to report to Commander-in-Chief Plath."

Half an hour later, the communication was restored.

"Hello, Zhou Yuan, this is Plus."

"Lord Plass, hello, I am Zhou Yuan."

"Solon said you want to cooperate with us, but I don't know what kind of cooperation this is?"

"Overthrow the Great Wall 'Consul's' rule and regime in this galaxy."

Plass was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhou Yuan, how dare you! Aren't you afraid your master will find out?"

"Lord Plass, to be honest, our goal is the same as yours, but we have infiltrated the Great Wall 'Consul' faction and are just taking advantage of the situation."

"I wonder what abilities you have that allow you to claim you can overthrow the Great Wall's 'consul' rule?"

"Lord Plath, isn't the fact that Yaxi has been dealt with enough to prove our strength?"

"I admit that your black hole weapon is powerful, but it's not powerful enough to compete with the Great Wall faction's star cluster weapon."

"I understand your concerns. Star cluster weapons are indeed powerful, but we will all have ways to counter them."

Plass remained silent for a long time before continuing, "This matter is of great importance. I want you to prove to me your great strength."

"Lord Plath, if you insist on seeing this, then we must take our leave. Please observe the fleet led by Commander Solon carefully."

Solon's fleet noticed a bright, translucent golden sphere, less than half a meter in diameter, suddenly appearing in front of them. The radiance of this translucent golden sphere gave it a sacred feel.

"Zhou Yuan, what are you planning to do? You're not saying that tiny round ball might be a powerful weapon for you, are you?"

“Yes, Lord Plath. If you don’t believe me, you can give Captain Solon the order to have the fleet attack it at will.”

"Solon, can you hear me?"

"Commander-in-Chief, I heard you."

"Attack it freely, by any means necessary."

"As ordered!"

All the fleet's warships unleashed their full firepower, unleashing a torrent of powerful energy beams towards the translucent golden sphere. The bombardment lasted a full fifteen minutes.

"Cease fire," Solon ordered.

To the astonishment of Plath, Solon, and the others, the translucent metallic sphere remained motionless in its original spot, still gleaming brightly, as if the fierce attack on it by the warships had never happened.

"Okay, I admit its energy shield is powerful, and we can't hurt it. But it's only for defense; can it actually attack?"

"Lord Plath, you must observe carefully. Commander Solon, I apologize to you all."

The Solon fleet immediately detected the anomaly: an unknown, powerful gravitational force was forcibly and rapidly pulling all the warships directly towards the translucent golden sphere. Back at the base, Plas was astonished to find that the Solon fleet vanished into thin air in less than two seconds. This disappearance was too sudden, without warning, without any spatial curvature effects, without the light-speed dragging effect, and without any gravitational anomalies.

Plath immediately contacted Zhou Yuan, "What happened to Solon and the others? A whole fleet, how could they suddenly disappear?"

"Lord Plath, the Solon fleet is inside that golden sphere, fifty centimeters in diameter."

"impossible!"

"Lord Plass, observe more closely, the Solon fleet will appear soon."

Sure enough, less than two seconds later, Solon's fleet reappeared in the same spot.

Commander Solon had barely caught his breath when he received a communication request from Plath.

"Solon, what happened? You all just disappeared."

"Commander-in-Chief, I don't know what's going on either. I feel there's something strange about that translucent golden sphere."

"Zhou Yuan said you were inside that little ball just now, do you think that's possible?"

"Commander-in-Chief, I think it's impossible."

"Zhou Yuan, can your warships come to my base? I want to see the supernatural powers of that little ball again. Solon, please do your best one more time."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

"Lord Plass, please grant us permission to enter the base."

"I have already given the order to allow you to enter. Come on in."

"As you wish."

The Hercules warship quickly arrived at the base and docked at a designated space berthing area.

The Hercules battleship is right at the base. The small golden sphere and the Solon fleet are still quite far from the base.

"Zhou Yuan, we'd like to see the ball game performance again."

"it is good."

The message had barely been sent when, less than two seconds later, Solon's fleet vanished once more. This time, Plath and the others were dumbfounded. Plath had previously thought that Hercules was behind it all, so he had ordered Hercules to stay away from Solon's fleet and remain at the base to confirm that Hercules was not making any moves.

The base's various equipment were naturally aimed at the Hercules warship, the Solon fleet, and the small golden sphere, conducting meticulous observations and reconnaissance. The Hercules, of course, detected nothing, and the golden sphere seemed normal. What was unusual was that the Solon fleet had suddenly vanished.

This time, the golden sphere did not release the Solon fleet, but instead traveled at near-light speed, directly reaching the edge of the base. Many warships at the base rushed to meet it, activating all their shields and weapons, and entering a state of combat readiness.

The translucent golden sphere stopped immediately and then emitted a bright light. This time, the Solon fleet appeared near the escorting warships.

The small golden sphere withdrew its light, then disappeared, and flew directly towards the Hercules warship, entering it.

"Zhou Yuan, I am willing to cooperate with you." Before Zhou Yuan could even speak, Plass led a group of senior commanders in expressing their willingness.

"Lord Plass, to be honest, we have a more powerful golden sphere to deal with the heavy weaponry of the Great Wall 'Consul's' Star Cluster. Please rest assured about that."

"I'm very sorry for my earlier offense. But if we're going to cooperate, what should we do?"

"Pretend to submit and be granted amnesty, and obey the rule and jurisdiction of the Great Wall 'consuls'. I will speak well of you in front of the 'consuls' and ensure that you are not humiliated. In return for your offerings, we will secretly provide technological support to help you complete your mission. Of course, you cannot complete the mission too quickly. Try to make the 'consuls' feel that you are doing your best to complete the mission."

"clear."

"I'm going to Kesman later. The three of us will unite to overthrow the Great Wall 'Consul'."

“That’s good. If the three of us join forces, our chances of winning will be much greater. Kesman and our Dorley have always been small-time players who have never amounted to anything.”

"Yes. Unite all forces that can be united."

“I will write a ‘letter of repentance’ and a ‘letter of surrender’ later, and please submit them to Balatu.”

"Okay. From now on, let's work together for the common good."

"To work together for the well-being of all."

"Lord Plass, I will give you ten long-range communication devices later to facilitate our communication and discussions."

"it is good."

Under the watchful eyes of the base officials, the Hercules set sail and quickly disappeared from sight.

The Hercules' target was naturally the base of the Kesman rebels.

The process of recruiting and uniting was similar to that of the "rebel forces" camp base of the Dolai civilization, and Kesman was also won over by Zhou Yuan.
