Chapter 219: The Secret of the Conqueror Empire
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The rest of the people in the Milky Way were still living their daily lives. Other than the increasingly fierce online scolding war, there were no actual fluctuations due to the rise of the war between the two civilizations.
The native civilizations would ignore the conflicts between the same species even before the completion of the planet’s unification, let alone the interstellar civilizations that were even more estranged from each other.
The Conqueror Empire had made good use of their vassal civilizations to create a huge public opinion attack.
A large number of video clips and expert explanations were taken out of context. The most eye-catching one was naturally the reagent bottle containing the white powder.
The image of the vassal civilization’s representative holding the small bottle and passing by was widely reposted, and rumors of the so-called weapons of mass destruction were also spreading like wildfire.
After all, the caterpillar fungus disease was still one of the painful history of the Milky Way. Many families were still falling apart amidst the spreading fungal spores.
After that crisis, there were even some extremists who had serious prejudice and discrimination against the fungus civilization in the Milky Way. They believed that those intelligent fungi would be inspired by the crisis and become a threat to the Milky Way someday in the future.
Although this fungi threat theory was despised by rational people, it could still be seen that the people were afraid of approaching the threat.
It was also because of this that when the news that the Pyro Alliance was developing weapons of mass destruction suspected to be fungal spores spread from an authoritative organization like the Galaxy Community, what greeted them wasn’t doubt, but verbal abuse.
There would always be people who would only want to see what they wanted to see. Even if there was 99% evidence that the Pyro Alliance had nothing to do with this matter, those people would still only believe the 1% evidence.
This group of people often had the advantage in public opinion battles because they were more eloquent and had excellent storytelling skills.
However, the truly wise ones were unwilling to argue, which made this group of people seem to represent everyone.
But in fact, the civilization government did not change because of the pressure of these people. Diplomacy was still a game of art.
In the Milky Way, the most popular voice was still hoping to sit down and negotiate peacefully, resolving the dispute through diplomatic means.
The only real war that broke out was when the Pyro Alliance led their protected natives to fight against the Conqueror Empire and their vassal civilizations.
The Star Alliance, which had always been on the same side as the Pyro Alliance, did not intervene. The Conqueror Empire used diplomatic means to force some civilizations to exert considerable pressure on the Star Alliance.
Although the Star Alliance declared their neutrality on the surface, they still established a secret supply line for the Pyro Alliance in the name of native relief supplies.
Hence, for a period of time, the Pyro Alliance and the Conqueror Empire, who had used the excuse of mediating the war to participate in the war, won and lost. However, the Conqueror Empire, which had a stronger foundation, mostly won.
This veteran interstellar space empire relied on sucking the blood of its vassal civilizations to maintain a considerable amount of production capacity. Even with the support of the Stars Alliance, the Pyro Alliance was still somewhat powerless.
Compared to the proper interstellar civilization vassals under the Conqueror Empire, it was very difficult for the native civilizations under the Pyro Alliance’s protection to play a role in this kind of interstellar war.
Among them, those with better development could still take on a portion of the Pyro Alliance’s calculation tasks. As for those native civilizations that were still in the steam era or even lower-level primitive eras, there was no hope at all.
A large portion of the Pyro Alliance’s current battlefront was maintained by a race that had once received their guidance and ascended to interstellar space.
The civilization of this race had been accompanied by a huge space behemoth when they were born. After a long period of development, they gradually learned how to talk to that space behemoth.
That space behemoth was called a space dragon. As its cubs were hatching in the hands of that civilization, it would now obey certain orders and go to the Pyro Alliance’s territory to destroy the invading Conqueror Empire battleships.
Meanwhile, this space dragon’s powerful combat strength could finally allow the Pyro Alliance to maintain the stability of the battle line, allowing them to temporarily stand on par with the Conqueror Empire.
However, everyone knew that this was not a long-term plan. In fact, as long as the Pyro Alliance was dragged into the quagmire of war, the Conqueror Empire’s goal would be achieved.
The trapped Pyro Alliance would have no time or ability to take care of the Galaxy Community. This period of time was enough for the Conqueror Empire to complete many of its goals.
Therefore, in the absence of the Pyro Alliance, another meeting of the Galaxy Community was convened.
In this meeting, only two of the four Council Civilizations came. All the representatives knew the reason why the Pyro Alliance didn’t come. As for the other Servant Paradise, they were already used to it.
“Time’s up. The remaining absentees will automatically be considered to have abstained from voting in this meeting.”
The representative of the Conqueror Empire suddenly spoke when the clock pointed at a specific time. He quickly stood up and walked to the front of the stage.
“According to the on-call schedule, the Pyro Alliance should be the host this time. However, due to well-known reasons, they can’t come. Therefore, the host’s order has been postponed according to the program.”
“In that case, on behalf of our great Emperor, I hereby announce that this galaxy meeting has officially begun!”
His words drew a round of applause. This group of representatives was not usually so enthusiastic. Perhaps this was already proof of the Conqueror Empire’s diplomatic strength in this meeting.
“They’re determined to achieve their goal. 1 wonder how much diplomatic support they’ve spent. Perhaps all the favors they’ve accumulated have been used here…”
The representative of the Star Alliance thought to himself. He felt that he had a great responsibility this time.
After the applause, the representative of the Conqueror Empire spent a long time making a supreme etiquette similar to pilgrimage, which meant that he was equivalent to the Emperor himself.
“His Majesty has brought his decree. He has seen through the nature of the struggle in the galaxy and found a solution to the disagreement.”
“It’s the best and most useful way to bring glory to the entire Milky Way. The Community is loose and inefficient. Only by focusing on one body can we help the entire Milky Way advance.”
“Therefore, my first topic is to abolish the Galaxy Community, and establish the Galaxy Imperium’!”
As soon as the Conqueror Empire’s heavyweight proposal came out, it did not cause a huge commotion. It seemed that many civilizations had already colluded in this matter.
The representative of the Star Alliance was also in disbelief because the Conqueror Empire skipped the Galaxy Community Reform that was once conceived and directly advanced to the Galaxy Imperium, which was totally unexpected.
What he could not understand even more was why such a proposal was approved by so many civilizations. Logically speaking, no matter how big the favor was, it was impossible for civilizations to give up their sovereignty, right?
The representative of the Star Alliance instantly realized that the Conqueror Empire must have some kind of secret that was enough to make people submit to them. Only then could they force the other civilizations to acknowledge them.
Meanwhile, in the parent galaxy of the Conqueror Empire, a strange barrier planet was revolving around the star as usual.
It was one of the treasures of the Conqueror Empire. They had spent a long time and effort to finally obtain a portion of it.
It was a strange battleship made of irregular metal structures..
