167: Chapter 167 The Mysterious Elmar

The western border of the Black Dragon Empire.

Over ten thousand ships from the Canglan Empire suddenly intruded!

Before the garrison ships at the western border could react, the Canglan Empire's ships launched a frenzied attack!

Boom—

Boom—

One after another, the ships of the Black Dragon Empire were continuously blown apart.

At this time, the Black Dragon Empire also reacted and immediately organized a counterattack!

Simultaneously, they immediately reported the situation at the border and sounded the war alarm!

Longshan Region of the Black Dragon Empire.

Unlike the Canglan Empire, the Black Dragon Empire is not divided into rings but into blocks.

The Longshan Region is located in the core area of the Black Dragon Galaxy.

In the imperial palace of the Longshan Imperial Planet, Great Emperor Heilong listened to his subordinates' reports with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, the Canglan Empire has suddenly launched a massive invasion of our western border. They didn't say a word; they just started killing as soon as they entered!" an official said with indignation.

"I have already communicated with Cang Yang. His excuse is that our ships are currently burning, killing, and looting within their territory. This reason is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!" Great Emperor Heilong said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Canglan Empire has always been inferior to ours. Could there be something fishy about this proactive attack?" an official stepped forward and analyzed rationally.

"That is possible. However, even if it is a misunderstanding, the Canglan Empire has already taken advantage of our lack of preparation and caught us off guard. We have already lost dozens of ships!" Great Emperor Heilong nodded, but his expression remained grim.

"Your Majesty, regardless of the reason, the Canglan Empire's proactive invasion and unilateral tearing up of our previous non-aggression treaty provides us with a reason to counterattack!" a member of the think tank suggested.

"I believe we should directly dispatch a large army to suppress the Canglan Empire and strike all the way to their home base."

"Very well. Immediately allocate ten thousand ships to the western border and beat those white devils until they call us 'grandpa'!" Great Emperor Heilong waved his hand and gave the order.

"Mander, you shall take command!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mander accepted the command loudly, his eyes filled with excitement, for this was the best opportunity to earn military merit!

While the Black Dragon Empire's support ships were heading to the western border, a fleet from the Alma Federation, located far to the northeast of the Black Dragon Empire, was rapidly moving toward the empire's northeastern border.

They had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Canglan Empire to jointly deploy troops and eliminate the Black Dragon Empire!

The Alma Federation is a federal state composed of multiple nations. Compared to the centrally governed Canglan Empire and Black Dragon Empire, their cohesion is relatively poor.

However, their strength is not to be underestimated!

Although they are far from matching the Black Dragon Empire, they are somewhat stronger than the Canglan Empire.

At this moment, inside the command ship of the Alma Federation's fleet.

"Commander Kuma, are we really going to cooperate with those white-skinned people? They have always been quite cunning." A brightly dressed Alma person was chatting with the commander.

She was Commander Kuma's personal guard, Tasha.

"Tasha, we'll head to the Black Dragon Empire's border first to observe the Canglan Empire's actual movements."

"If they truly attack the Black Dragon Empire with all their might, then we will contribute. If they are only feinting, we will retreat!" Kuma said, grinning with a terrifyingly large mouth.

"These trashy, inferior races from the remote regions of the universe—once I return to my Queen's embrace, I will surely wipe them out!"

...

The ruling race of the Alma Federation is completely different from those of the Canglan Empire and the Black Dragon Empire.

The Canglan Empire is ruled by white people, the Black Dragon Empire by black people, and the rulers of the Alma Federation are a lifeform race known as the Alma tribe.

This race is very peculiar.

First is their appearance.

Although they also have two arms, two legs, and a head, their bodies are very soft, supported not by skeletons but by a common gelatinous substance.

Additionally, they are green all over, and their heads are a flat, circular shape like a sunflower.

The edges of their heads are densely covered with thin, short tentacles!

The Alma People are also divided into male and female, but they are a typical matriarchal society; male Alma People have no social status other than for reproduction.

This is because male Alma People are too small; aside from their large reproductive organs, their body size is only half that of the female Alma People.

Whether in terms of strength or other mental activities, male Alma People are inferior to female Alma People.

Furthermore, the Alma People practice polyandry, where one female Alma person can have multiple husbands.

There are also two rather bizarre physiological structures.

First, female Alma People have multiple reproductive glands in their bodies, allowing them to be served by multiple male Alma People simultaneously.

Second, the green color across the Alma People's bodies comes from cells similar to plant chloroplasts, which can efficiently utilize solar energy from stars. If there is sufficient starlight and certain necessary gases, they only need some water to survive.

In short, whether in terms of physiological structure or lifestyle, the Alma People are completely different from humans.

They truly have that 'alien' feel!

...

On the Longshan Imperial Planet, Great Emperor Heilong heard another piece of bad news.

"Your Majesty, the Alma Federation's fleet has already entered our northeastern border!"

Hearing this news, Great Emperor Heilong laughed out of extreme anger.

"Haha, what a Canglan Empire! Still claiming that my Black Dragon Empire's ships invaded them first—what a load of nonsense!"

"Now the daggers are out; they've united with the Alma Federation to invade my Black Dragon Empire. They've calculated well, truly well!"

"Shadi, take ten thousand ships now and head immediately to the northeastern border. Slaughter those green pancake-faces for me. I feel disgusted just looking at them!" Great Emperor Heilong's gaze was cold.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

At this time, in a lawless zone outside the border of the Fifth Ring's southeastern region of the Canglan Empire, the Xia State's fleet was gathered in silence.

"Su Fan, I wonder how things are going near the western border of the Black Dragon Empire," the Great Elder remarked.

"I feel like the fighting must have started by now," Su Fan said with a smile.

"Should we send a few ships over to scout?" Xia Feifei asked.

"Not for now. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" Su Fan shook his head.

"Let's wait. It's impossible for the Black Dragon Empire's reinforcements to reach the border this quickly."

"In a few months, once the Black Dragon Empire's reinforcements reach the western border and the two fleets clash, we'll secretly send ships to scout the situation."

"When the battle is in full swing, our scout ships will be safer."

Xia Feifei nodded thoughtfully.

"Leave some people for the shifts; everyone else can go offline and go home," Su Fan ordered.

"However, even after going offline, you must not be too far from your Virtual cabins. In case of an emergency, you must be available on call!"

"Understood!"

In this way, Su Fan and the others successfully instigated an interstellar war between the Canglan Empire, the Black Dragon Empire, and the Alma Federation.

And as the instigator, Su Fan was happily busy making babies at home.

Although he was one of the top leaders of the Xia State, he did not use the back door or seek special treatment for himself, so he currently had no private land.

Now he needed to quickly produce ten children and then choose a piece of private land that could be passed down through his family!

Some people had advised him that since he held such a high position, it would be normal to have some special treatment.

But Su Fan's response was: 'If you get special treatment and I get special treatment, then all the officials in the Xia State will get special treatment! If those above do it, those below will follow, and the entire Xia State will eventually be hollowed out!'

Su Fan added and promulgated a rule for official management: no official shall receive special treatment, especially regarding land; if discovered, they will be executed immediately!

To have private land, everyone must have at least ten children!
