"Commander, are we really going to launch an expedition to the Warhammer United States? According to the coordinates Charlotte provided, it's very, very far away from here," Lilith asked, standing next to Zhao Chen.

"Far? Can a T4 Radiant-class interstellar warp ship reach that distance?" Zhao Chen countered.

Lilith nodded: "Still within the range of the T4 Radiant-class interplanetary warp ship."

"Then it's not that far."

Zhao Chen raised his hand and opened the Warhammer's interstellar map. The interstellar map was nearly twice the size of the Star Empire, making it the largest interstellar territory among the three great empires.

However, its average level of wealth was the worst among the three great empires.

Simply put, although the interstellar map is vast, most of the star systems are resource-poor.

Lilith, certain of Zhao Chen's determination to embark on the expedition, refrained from further comment as his secretary. Instead, she explained to Zhao Chen from the side, "The Warhammer Starfleet is also divided into starfields, with a total of eighteen starfields."

However, it is somewhat different from our Starry Empire system. We have Starfield Governors, but these Starfields are controlled by individual tribes.

Some star systems may even be controlled by multiple tribes, with more than 80% of the star systems controlled by twenty major tribal powers.

These tribal chiefs are equivalent to our dukes or star field governors.

The monarch of the Warhammer Starfleet is elected every ten years by the chieftains of twenty major tribes. Currently, the chieftain is a half-dragon from one of the twenty major tribes, and has served nine consecutive terms.

"Nine sessions? That's ninety years? Is this half-dragon tribe that strong?" Zhao Chen was somewhat surprised.

"The Half-Dragon Tribe possesses two of the three T4 starships of the Warhammer Starfleet, and their star fleet accounts for 20% of the Warhammer starships. In addition, several other large tribes are loyal to the Half-Dragon Tribe."

All of these combined constitute 40% of the total number of interstellar fleets, and the fleets are of very high quality. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This established the status of the half-dragon tribe.

Of the last hundred monarchs of the Warhammer Starfleet Union, nearly seventy were chieftains of half-dragon tribes.

Among the many tribes in Warhammer, the half-dragon tribe claims to be second to none.

There was even a saying: "Where the dragon flag goes, all beasts submit!" Charlotte walked onto the bridge and appeared beside Zhao Chen.

Midel was also with her.

As a former member of the Warhammer Starfleet Union, no one knew the power of the half-dragon race better than her.

"Three T4 interstellar warships? That's one more than the Star Empire!" Zhao Chen exclaimed in surprise. In his memory, the Warhammer Interstellar United States was a technologically backward power that often relied on the number of warships to win.

Charlotte said, "Although Warhammer has three T4 starships, two of them can only be described as near-T4."

The T4 Dragon Knight-class heavy star cruiser, the T4 Ankylosaurus-class medium star frigate, and the T4 Butcher-class medium star destroyer.

The first two were developed by the half-dragon tribe, who, in addition to equipping themselves, would also sell a small number to tribes with whom they had a good relationship.

The latter was jointly developed by three other tribes and is currently the most numerous T4 starship in the Warhammer United Federation.

Of these three, only the T4 Ankylosaurus-class medium interplanetary corvette can be considered a true T4-class interplanetary warship. The other two have varying degrees of deficiencies in T4 technology and can only be considered near-T4-class interplanetary warships.

Zhao Chen nodded in understanding.

This makes sense.

Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte: "How is our fleet's preparation going?"

Charlotte instinctively straightened up and reported, "As per your instructions, the flagship for this expedition will be a T4 Suzaku-class medium-sized interstellar cruiser."

The fleet consists of one T3 Phoenix-class heavy carrier starship, four T3 Emperor-class heavy interstellar battleships, thirty T3 Blizzard-class light interstellar battlecruisers, ten T3 Phantom Assassin-class light interstellar stealth bombers, five T3 Judgement-class heavy interstellar missile ships, and two hundred T3 Triceratops-class interstellar heavy assault frigates.

It consists of one T2 Queen Bee, five T2 Lion Kings, ten T2 Snow Mastiffs, and one hundred T2 Black Rhinos.

In addition, there are one T3 Andromeda-class interstellar hospital ship, five T3 Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships, ten T3 Virgo-class heavy interstellar supply ships, and ten T3 Beluga-class heavy interstellar transport ships.

Finally, there are two Wisdom-class interplanetary jump ships.

This fleet expedition carried nearly five billion star coins in strategic resources, enough to sustain a large-scale local operation.

As he listened to the string of numbers, Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile.

That's the feeling.

Before setting off, listening to my subordinates report a series of numbers filled me with a strange sense of exhilaration.

When Charlotte heard these names, those T3 interstellar warships... she was dumbfounded.

Nearly three hundred T3 interstellar warships!

What kind of interstellar force did my sister Charlotte join, that she has so many T3 interstellar warships?

Could this man in front of me be the illegitimate son of the Starry Empire?

Charlotte continued, "In addition to the expeditionary fleet, we also left ten T3 Blizzards and fifty T3 Triceratops in the Owl Dragon and Lion King star systems."

This will ensure the safety of our territory.

Hearing Charlotte's arrangements, Zhao Chen felt truly relieved.

"Now that everything is ready, let's set off." Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, looking forward to the expedition.

This was his first real expedition since he came into this world.

"Relay the commander's order: the entire fleet prepares to depart." Charlotte began relaying the order.

After Charlotte spent several hours preparing, the interstellar warships she had mentioned earlier had already arrived and assembled in the Lion King system.

Nearly four hundred interstellar warships hovered in this cosmic space, ready for battle.

"It will take at least a month to return to our home planet from here using warp speed, and I don't know if we'll make it in time." Midel clenched her hands, somewhat worried about her loved ones far away.

Midel's starfleet remained in the Reef sector during this expedition due to its poor condition.

Midel accompanied them on their journey.

"A month? It won't take that long. It'll only take a few minutes." Zhao Chen said with a light laugh, resting his chin on his hand.

Just then, a starship slowly sailed to the front of the fleet, and then a beam of light shot out, forming a huge stargate.

Midor's eyes widened: "My goodness..."
