Of the five T2 Moose-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ships he brought, Zhao Chen ultimately only arranged for two of them to transport the fifty thousand Dwarves, while the remaining three were to stay on standby.

Over these three days, the fifty thousand Dwarves, bringing their families and even some of their few belongings, had continuously boarded the T2 Moose ships via unmanned cargo shuttles.

Inside the modified cargo holds of the T2 Moose, across three levels, areas were divided into individual berths.

In addition, large communal hibernation pods were specially prepared for group dormancy; while not as comfortable as the single pods Zhao Chen had used before, they could at least be used for the final leg of the journey to the Owl Dragon Star System.

At this moment, there were five connected berths.

Annie had a sack in her left hand, a box in her right, and a backpack on her back that was three times her height.

At this moment, it fully showed that the meals Annie ate were not for nothing.

Her strength and endurance were truly great.

"Hoo!" Annie settled all her belongings and looked at her mother and five siblings: "You all rest well here. It'll probably only be about half a month until you reach the Dragon Owl Territory.

Although I haven't been there yet, you must believe Annie! Commander will not lie to us. Once we get there, we won won't have to endure hunger, starvation, and fear anymore."

"Sister... aren't you coming with us?" Annie's second younger sister, a Dwarf, looked at her sister nervously.

Annie patted her sister's head: "Nana, when I'm not here, you're the oldest child in the family. Take good care of Mom and your younger siblings.

Sister will be back very soon."

Nana, who resembled Annie somewhat, nodded heavily: "Sister, don't worry, Nana will definitely take good care of Mother and my younger siblings!"

Annie took a few lollipops from her pocket and gave them to her younger siblings, then pointed to the large bundle: "At the very bottom of the bundle, I've prepared some food for you. You can eat it on the way.

Once you reach the Dragon Owl Territory, you'll have the chance to eat this kind of food every day!"

Seeing the snacks in Annie's hand, the little Dwarves all showed expressions of joy.

"Annie, you've really grown up," her mother said, stroking Annie's head.

Annie grinned and said: "Mom, don't worry. Annie has a job now, and I can support you all!"

After seeing off her mother and siblings, Annie left the T2 Moose and returned to the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser.

Afterward, the T3 Blizzard escorted these two T2 Moose ships to the Star Gate.

As long as they passed through the Star Gate, left the Reef Starfield, and entered Starlight Empire territory, these two T2 Moose ships would be safe.

After seeing off the T2 Moose, the T3 Blizzard returned to the space outside the Dwarf planet.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, looking at the planet before him, and the uncleaned remains of the battlefield.

He had already arranged the affairs on the planet, and the Interstellar Transport Ship had also been sent off. Next was to wait for the Fire Lizard Fleet to arrive.

As for ruling this Star System, Zhao Chen only needed to achieve a splendid victory at that time, and let the indigenous people on those planets see it.

At that time, establishing prestige would be relatively much easier.

"All we can do now is wait," Zhao Chen said, sitting in the captain's chair and looking at the Dwarf-inhabited planet behind him.

"Commander... Annie... Annie can repair the hull armor of the T3 Blizzard!" Annie raised her hand at this moment.

Zhao Chen looked at Annie with a bit of surprise; she actually volunteered for work.

"There are no Interstellar Industrial Ships or Starport facilities here," Zhao Chen said.

Annie replied: "I asked my father to prepare some simple equipment for me. I can wear a space work suit and go outside the hull to repair the damaged hull armor.

Although the efficiency is slower, the quality is definitely no worse than what an Interstellar Industrial Ship or a Starport can provide!"

"Won't that be too dangerous?" Zhao Chen looked at Annie.

Annie said firmly: "I used to do this kind of work when I lived here, even before I became an adult, following my father to repair the Dwarves' Interstellar Warship. There's no danger or difficulty.

Commander, let me go."

Thinking about it, in such a barren planet, Starports were considered a luxury, and the prices of various raw materials were much higher than in the Starlight Empire.

Things that could be done by oneself were naturally done by oneself.

Seeing Annie's rare determined expression, Zhao Chen finally allowed it.

It seemed this child had grown up after seeing her own people.

"Um... Commander... I... I couldn't resist and used my previous meal allowance to buy some food and snacks for my younger siblings...

There are still three to five days until the end of the month... Could you advance me some money...? Otherwise, Annie... will be hungry..." Annie suddenly turned around, looking at Zhao Chen with a wronged expression.

Zhao Chen retracted his thoughts; she was still a silly girl.

"Just follow me then," Zhao Chen said, waving his hand helplessly.

"Thank you, Commander!" Annie bowed to Zhao Chen, then happily left the Bridge and began her work.

For the next week or so, Annie could be seen wearing a space work suit, holding tools, and patching up damaged areas on the T3 Blizzard's exterior.

At meal times, she would immediately rush to Zhao Chen's side, blinking her watery big eyes at him, like a kitten waiting to be fed.

...

Salamander Tribe Headquarters

The Salamander Tribe directly controlled five Galaxies, possessing three thousand Interstellar Warship, and even five T3 Interstellar Warships. Relying on this power, the Salamander Tribe became a second-rate force in the Reef Starfield.

They were just one step away from being a first-rate force.

Unexpectedly, when they were sleepy, someone delivered a pillow.

A mineral vein was actually discovered on the FY Star System Third Planet, which they controlled and had always been unprofitable!

Initially, the Dwarves proposed that they could mine it and then sell it to the Salamander Tribe at a low price.

How could that be possible?

Such a large gold mine, how could it be handed over to those shorties? Of course, it had to be kept in their own hands.

He even felt it was necessary to drive away all the residents on that planet, otherwise, those guys would definitely steal his wealth!

This led to the later events of expelling the Dwarves and ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ engaging in war with them.

In the Fire Lizard Clan Leader's view, the Dwarf's Starfleet had little combat power.

He sent a T3 Arkham and an Starfleet of three to four hundred Interstellar Warship, which was enough to settle the Dwarf matter.

But he never expected to receive news of the demise of the T3 Arkham-class Medium Interstellar Battleship.
