The male supporting character was actually myself.

The Luo family wants to acquire powerful weapons on the battlefield; the leverage is in their own hands!

After Luo Jiaxun left, Lin Fan hurriedly asked: System, is there any chance to kill Xia Jiangchen on the battlefield without anyone noticing?

There's no way to kill Xia Jiangchen on the starship; if he were piloting a mecha, the host could choose to exchange for the item: "Ten Thousand Mile Piercing Willow." That's a gun capable of penetrating any mecha, carrying two bullets, ensuring absolute safety. Even a super mecha couldn't protect him.

Lin Fan was overjoyed, but then forced himself to calm down and asked again: Will we be discovered?

[Given enough points, I can provide cover. Friendly reminder: The system can only guarantee undetectability without a higher-level system. Higher-level systems are beyond my detection.]

I see… Lin Fan thought for a moment and then asked: That war live streaming website that suddenly became so popular seems to be able to obtain some confidential conversations. Could it be an advanced system?

[It's not a system. I checked it; it's just a typical commercial recording bot. The classified conversations are from military communication lines that have been compromised, and no danger was detected.]

That way, everything will be foolproof!

Lin Fan pondered the matter carefully for most of the night, and finally formulated a plan to implement it.

Those beautiful ship girls will eventually belong to me!

Meanwhile, Luo Jiaxun was sitting in Commander-in-Chief Yimilu's room, the two of them playing chess intently.

"That Xia Jiangchen..." Luo Jiaxun changed the subject and hesitated, "Although General Su Lan arranged for him to be specially recruited into the army, he has never spent a single day in the military camp. He doesn't seem as reliable as one of our own people!"

Imiro raised an eyebrow and placed a chess piece down. "What are you trying to say?"

"Of course, it's because I'm worried about the war."

This free spirit, accustomed to his own freedom, does things entirely according to his own whims.

Today, they're driven by a sense of righteousness to save lives from afar; tomorrow, they might find war trivial, troublesome, and requiring them to obey orders, and in the blink of an eye, they might just turn around and sail away in a super starship.

Those seven super starships are formidable weapons on the battlefield; we must find a way to keep them here.

Have you found out Xia Jiangchen's background?

If it's a good idea, quickly bestow a military rank upon him and try to win him over.

It would be even better if we could form a marriage alliance to completely bind them together!

We can win this war now with super starships, but what about the future? What if other star systems invade again?

We should think it over carefully; it'll solve the problem once and for all!

"A marriage alliance?" Imiro grinned knowingly, making his face look even more sinister. "Your Ziyu is just the right age. So you're trying to snag a rich husband for yourself!"

Luo Jiaxun laughed and shook his head, saying, "I can't make decisions for my little one!"

She has someone she likes, so she definitely won't agree.

Otherwise... I'm actually thinking about it.

As long as we can bind the super starship to our star system, even if Xia Jiangchen is gone, we can arrange contracts with other people. With them in the star system, we can develop rapidly and surpass other star systems.

A single solution can ensure lasting peace and well-being for the entire galaxy.

"Keeping the ship girls alive is of great significance!"

After playing two games of chess, Luo Jiaxun made an excuse to leave.

Imirou leaned back in his chair, gazing out the window at the vast expanse of space, his face expressionless, seemingly lost in thought.

The next day at noon, the enemy began to probe and invade again.

This time, the live broadcast on StarNet began to be delayed.

"It's already delayed by three hours, will it even be able to air?"

"Was the signal blocked by the military? Why are there only very short videos being uploaded?"

"It looks like it's working! Time: 9:40 PM, the live stream signal is delayed by four and a half hours!"

On the StarNet, the anticipation of the entire galaxy's inhabitants reached its peak, from anxiety to fervent expectation to excitement. Even homeless people on the streets were spreading the word that they could finally watch the battlefield live!

Recording time: 1:21 PM.

The video footage shows a remote corner of the headquarters.

Luo Jiaxun looked around warily and whispered, "Are there any recording robots nearby? Speak quickly, don't let anyone see us."

"Don't worry, Mr. Luo." Lu Bote chuckled, waving the black object in his hand. "I've blocked all the signals in the vicinity. Besides, those recording robots can only film casually on the periphery; they can't get here."

I have come with a message from the Snake King.

The appearance of the super starship disrupted the original plan to attack the Serpent Galaxy, so we had to trouble Mr. Lowe.

As we agreed, we'll give you the benefits first, and now it's Mr. Luo's turn to reciprocate.

With the help of our Serpent Galaxy, the Luo family has become the dominant force in this galaxy; you must have already experienced the benefits of this.

The Serpent King promised Mr. Luo that once the matter was accomplished, this entire star system would belong to him!

As you know, we snake-like people have very high requirements for our living environment; most planets in this galaxy are uninhabitable.

Therefore, we only plunder, not enslave.

All you have to do is lend a hand; and contribute the produce of one or two planets every fifty years. How about that? Isn't that a great deal?

"Ha!" Luo Jiaxun sneered, "So you mean you treat this place as your Serpent Star System's breeding ground, with all the planets as livestock to be slaughtered at your mercy?"

Lu Bote grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. "Even in a breeding farm, Mr. Luo is the manager."

We helped you swallow up the Xia family back then, and we can help you swallow up any family in the future.

Mr. Luo is in charge of the entire galaxy.

We only need a little bit of benefit.

This collaboration was initiated by the Serpent Galaxy, and you have already seen the returns. Whether to continue the collaboration now depends on Mr. Luo's decision.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Unspeakable Secret

Luo Jiaxun's expression was uncertain. After a few seconds, he lowered his voice and asked, "What should I do?"

“It’s simple! Turn on the power source for the headquarters.” Lobot’s face was full of greedy smiles. “Then, our secret weapon will be deployed, and the galactic energy shield will be blown apart!”

Even with super starships, it won't stop us from landing anywhere else!

This galaxy will then be Mr. Luo's for the taking.

Once we have acquired the necessary resources, we will help you rebuild the energy shield.

After all, protecting your assets is protecting our assets; we have a win-win partnership.

"Okay." Luo Jiaxun hesitated for a moment before agreeing, then glanced at his watch and said, "At two o'clock sharp, you're responsible for creating chaos. I'll turn on the energy source. Five minutes at most. If you can't carry out the plan, don't blame me for not cooperating."

Lu Bo nodded, "Two o'clock sharp!"

After they finished their secret plot, the two secretly parted ways.

When this scene was broadcast on StarNet, everyone was stunned!

It's almost 10 p.m. now, and their conversation took place nine hours ago. Doesn't that mean... if the plan succeeded, our galaxy has already been defeated?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that the prestigious Luo family of the main star would actually collude with the Serpent Star System!

But the shocking news didn't stop there. Before everyone could react, the scene changed, and the broadcast time suddenly changed to 2 PM!

The screen is divided into two parts.

The small window in the upper right corner shows the location of the energy source where Luo Jiaxun sneaked into the headquarters during the chaos and turned on the switch at the exact time;

Meanwhile, the mech warriors fighting on the front lines were blinded by a bright light.

A clear and authoritative female voice came through the communicator, "Captain, the enemy is drawing energy from the entire star system and using powerful penetration techniques to try to break through the energy protection layer."

This type of attack requires a unified, powerful energy source to activate from both inside and outside the system. Once it explodes, the entire galaxy's protective shield will instantly become ineffective!

"So the Serpent Galaxy has such a means of defense. No wonder they're so eager to invade. If the galaxy weren't facing energy depletion, they wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure." Xueye's voice was icy cold.

Fei's lively voice quickly said, "No wonder we're needed to stop it! The galaxy itself definitely couldn't stop it!"

"Is there any way to stop them?" Jiang Chen asked calmly as he piloted his mech at the forefront.

A few seconds later, Amy's gentle voice came through, "We need to merge into the Goddess, and then control the Goddess to completely split into tens of thousands of single-function defensive aircraft, which will then combine to block and deflect the explosion."

The massive energy surge may cause discomfort to the captain.

We will do our best to protect you and prevent you from getting hurt.

If successful, the rebounding impact would be enough to destroy the enemy army and the star system's protective layer.

This is a decisive battle; it's either them or us.

Captain, our mission is to protect the galaxy.

If the defense fails, please retreat immediately. With the JF-17 protecting you, you will be safe and sound.

The sound from the communicator paused for a few seconds.

"If it comes to the final moment..." Clearly, the ship girls had already merged, and the ship girl named Goddess had a majestic and ethereal voice that seemed to come from another world, "We will choose to self-destruct, and let the entire Serpent Star System be buried with us."

Please pray for us, Captain.

I hope we can still travel together among the stars and the sea…

The Goddess has begun its dismantling.

Small defensive aircraft, like butterflies fluttering in the air, rushed toward the outer edge of the energy protection layer without hesitation, their pale golden light shimmering on the vast battlefield!

One; two; three...

Countless butterflies dispersed at equal intervals, linking together to form a pale golden energy line.

One; two; three...

Countless energy lines intersect at equal intervals, forming a giant golden net that stretches to the horizon, protecting the energy shield behind them.

At this point, the fighting between the two sides had ceased.

Success or failure hinges on this moment; all the soldiers of this star system stand inside the protective shield, watching the giant golden net.

The enemy troops stood outside the protective shield, fervently hoping that a violent explosion would win them the war of aggression.

The light gradually dimmed, eventually shooting out as a straight black line!

At the crucial moment, no one noticed Lin Fan.
