Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women
Chapter 761: ransom?
beep beep beep
Just as the Dragon Emperor was discussing the next steps with his two beloved daughters.
The Dragon Emperor received a message.
After taking a look, he instantly exploded with anger.
The two daughters could see the anger in their father's eyes.
"Father? What happened?" Blanche asked.
The Dragon King presented an electronic report to Blanche and Leona.
"See for yourselves, the Dragon Legion is going too far!"
Blanche and Leona had completely opposite expressions as they looked at the electronic report.
Leona was even more furious than the Dragon Emperor. She roared with wide eyes, "How dare they threaten us?"
Using that fleet of 30,000 dragonmen to blackmail us?
Who gave them the audacity?
Father, please give me three Dragonman fleet groups. I will go and rescue the Tenth Dragonman Fleet Group right now!
I'd like to see who can stop our dragon-human fleet if it wants to leave!
Blanche rolled her eyes at Leona and said calmly, "Then let me ask you, why did you do this?"
With four Dragonman fleets, how many are you confident you can bring out under the bombardment of the Dragon Legion's interstellar missiles?
Haven't we learned enough from the previous two Dragonman fleets being completely annihilated?
Is it not enough to just throw in one of the Dragonkin 10th Fleet Groups? Do you want to throw in three more?
Have you considered who will benefit from the significant loss of strength to our Dragonman tribe?
Can you stop focusing solely on fighting and broaden your perspective a bit?
"You!" Leona glared angrily at Blanche.
Deep down, she agreed with Blanche's assessment, but her personality made her unwilling to admit defeat.
In verbal sparring, she could never win against her half-sister.
Blanche glanced at the electronic report again.
The electronic report is mainly divided into two parts.
One section is a report from the Dragonkin Tenth Fleet to itself.
Originally, this was because the Black Tiger main star was breached, and the Black Tiger star field was completely lost.
The Dragonkin 10th Fleet Group, which rushed to provide support, and the 20,000 tribal interstellar warships that accompanied it were in a very awkward situation.
After Blanche proposed a strategic plan to cooperate with the Holy Radiant Empire, the troops naturally withdrew.
Although there is no stargate available, it is still possible to evacuate using warp drive.
But to everyone's surprise, the Falcon Dragon Legion fleet used five Falcon Dragon Legions to block the retreat route of the Dragon People's Tenth Fleet Group.
At the same time, a large number of warp interceptors were deployed in advance in all directions of navigation.
All of the above information was directly communicated by the Dragon Legion to the Dragon People's Tenth Fleet Group.
They openly boasted that if the Dragonman 10th Fleet Group dared to make any rash moves, the Dragon Legion would dare to annihilate the entire Dragonman 10th Fleet Group here with interstellar missiles.
The other half of the message is in the electronic report.
The Dragon Legion is demanding that the Dragonkin tribe pay a 'ransom'.
Indeed, according to the description of the Dragon Legion, the 30,000 interstellar warships of the Dragonman fleet and the 20,000 interstellar warships of those tribes have become prisoners of the Dragon Legion.
This is an insult to the dragon people tribe.
This is why the Dragon Emperor was angry just now, and why Leona volunteered to fight!
This is a provocation!
"Ransom! The Falcon Dragon Legion is delusional."
"Our dragon race has never paid a ransom!" the Dragon Emperor declared resolutely, brandishing his fist.
"The Dragon Legion knows we won't pay the ransom easily, but they still sent this message."
"They're definitely not just doing this to humiliate us." Blanche suddenly remembered something: "Father, who is the commander of the Dragonkin's Tenth Fleet?"
The Dragon Emperor suddenly thought of something.
At this moment, a figure appeared outside the main hall.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Then, a woman dressed in Jin Shanshan's clothes, who looked very similar to Leona, walked in.
"Mother, what brings you here?" Leona looked at her mother in surprise.
This is Leona's mother, a pure-blooded dragon, and also the Dragon Emperor's nominal empress.
When Blanche saw the person who came, she also bowed her head in greeting.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to save my brother!" The Dragon Queen knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Blanche's expression remained calm, as if she had already seen through everything.
“This...the commander of the Dragonkin Tenth Fleet...could it be...” Leona realized something and looked at her mother in surprise.
"You all knew, didn't you?"
I just received news that Leona, your uncle's Dragonkin Tenth Fleet is currently trapped in the first star system of the Black Tiger Starfield and is in imminent danger.
You must save your uncle.
"You only have this one uncle." The Dragon Queen pleaded.
Leona's expression was as if she had eaten shit. She subconsciously looked at Blanche next to her, who had a calm expression. She could tell that Blanche already knew how things were going to go.
They could have chosen to ignore the Dragonkin 10th Fleet.
Although the loss of 30,000 interstellar warships was heartbreaking for them.
However, for the sake of the Dragonkin tribe's dignity, and also to allow the Dragonkin Tenth Fleet to weaken the Wraith Dragon Legion's strength, it was worth the effort.
But now things are complicated.
She never expected that her uncle would be the commander of the Dragonkin Tenth Fleet.
Her uncle was her mother's only brother, a man with absolutely no leadership skills but who desperately wanted to show off his abilities.
Normally, someone like him wouldn't be able to serve as a fleet commander, but his special status makes it impossible.
In addition, his family is one of the most powerful among the dragon tribes, and the Dragon Emperor's rule has benefited greatly from the support of this family behind the scenes.
This is why Leona's mother could become queen; it's definitely not just because she was a pure-blooded dragon.
The Dragon Emperor now understood the extraordinary nature of this matter. He sighed deeply, whether for his daughter's uncle or his wife's brother.
Just the support from that spendthrift family alone is enough reason for him to stand by and watch him die.
“Blanche...no, you need to handle the affairs of the Holy Radiant Empire.”
Then Leona, you'll be in charge of this matter.
You negotiate with the Dragon Legion. As long as the conditions aren't too unreasonable, we can agree to this ransom...
If all else fails, we'll just need to save your uncle.
"At the same time, secretly contact the Dragonkin's Tenth Fleet to see if there's any hope of organizing a small fleet to break through and send the main commanders out," the Dragon Emperor instructed.
The significance of this key general is self-evident.
Originally, the Dragon Emperor would have preferred to let Blanche handle these kinds of negotiations.
But right now, Blanche's more important business is with the Holy Radiant Empire.
We had no choice but to settle for second best and leave the matter to Leona.
"Blanche, you can give Leona a few words of advice."
She doesn't have much experience in negotiation. "The Dragon Emperor couldn't help but offer a few words of advice at this point.
