Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Look, this is the demeanor of a strong person!

At the same time, he also felt that his question was really stupid.

That's so stupid.

What kind of place is this?!

A higher-level star system.

A single major power possesses several terrifying holy lands that dominate star systems!

The Transdimensional Sphere is a massive force with operations spanning the entire star system. How could an old rabbit like him, who is far from even reaching the Grandmaster level, possibly have the face to ask if he could help?

I should just wash up and go to bed.

The Grand Elder watched as An Ran departed.

His eyes held a hint of reverence.

He thought An Ran was incredibly talented, and that such a remarkable young woman should become his granddaughter's idol!

Although An Ran is currently only the head of the transdimensional mining team, the Grand Elder believes that An Ran will be promoted one day.

As for An Ran's promise, after the previous battle, the Grand Elder has no doubt about it now.

Why would someone with such a powerful influence bother lying to a nobody like him?

So, this must be true!

An Ran never expected herself to be so tall.

She had the rabbit-eared people teach magic to the sea people because the sea people were the most loyal NPCs under her command. If she didn't cultivate "great loyal subjects," why would she cultivate those "great filial sons"?

She's not brain-damaged.

Moreover, if the Sea People become stronger, it will be easier for them to work in the future. Anyway, it's not a loss, since it's the Rabbit-Eared Tribe's time and effort that's being spent.

By any measure, Anran profited.

10 month 21 day.

The fighting in the Selene military industrial zone remains intense.

After capturing several individual weapon manufacturing bases, the Second Prince's advancing forces encountered the fiercest resistance in the Kadomo region, which is oriented towards Aix.

The fourth prince set up a massive space fortress here, creating a "Great Wall" that stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

This is practically a third of their savings, a gamble with their lives against the Second Prince.

In order to hold (occupy) this strategically vital location, most of the army in the Selene region was moving towards the Cadomo region.

Apart from the troops protecting the flanks, both sides began a desperate struggle here.

According to sporadic reports from the Covenant, the fighting on the battlefield has not stopped for a moment.

Just like the Battle of Verdun between Germany and France.

This place has been completely turned into a meat grinder.

The reason why both sides are so fixated on the Kadomo region is simply because there's nothing that can be done about it.

The Cadomo area was placed directly in front of the most important part of the Selene military industrial zone.

Behind it are military factories, research institutes, and a mining area with extremely rich resources.

Once you cross this mountain, you'll see the land of the Golden Kingdom!

Other routes to the rear are too complex to transport a large number of spaceships at the same time.

Before the arrival of the Fifth Expeditionary Force's aid, their aim was twofold: to preserve their gains and to break through the obstacles ahead of time.

"They won't be able to hold on! As long as we persevere, we will definitely be the winners!" The Second Prince said confidently.

This is a test of perseverance!

He is very confident now because his side is united in purpose.

Even though the Fourth Prince has temporarily reached an agreement with the Third Prince, he still faces the counterattack of the Imperial Guard and internal imbalances.

Visa frowned.

He felt that the second prince was too confident.

It appears that he is fighting for what he wants, but in reality, this is a large-scale investment by the imperial nobility.

The nobility was not a monolithic entity; even among established noble families, there were differing demands.

The situation looks good now, but if something unexpected happens, the nobles are very likely to be betrayed. Can they stop eating meat just because there's a new leader?

He also felt a vague dissatisfaction with some of the Second Prince's actions.

Visa initially chose to side with the second prince because he felt that the prince's political views were somewhat to his liking.

Support the common people and appropriately weaken the power of the nobility.

Committed to changing the fundamental national policy of establishing merit through military achievements, and adopting a more moderate approach to alleviate internal conflicts.

After a major conflict, we need to recuperate and rebuild.

Visa thinks Star Alliance does a very good job in this regard.

Despite having roughly the same land area, the Covenant has far fewer internal conflicts.

However, it seems that the Second Prince has changed.

He became a supporter of the nobility in exchange for their support.

If this is a temporary compromise, that's one thing, but it's very problematic that he turns a blind eye to and tacitly approves of some obviously unreasonable measures.

For example, when the Wang family issued a mission to assassinate the time-traveling ANR, the Second Prince condemned it but did not take any substantial action.

Although a decision has been made to go back and eliminate the transdimensional world, the two sides are still in a cooperative phase at least for now. Even if it's just for show, it has to be done properly, especially at such a critical time. The normal practice is to avoid all unexpected factors.

For example, after occupying part of the Selene military industrial zone, some officers from noble families in the army went out to seek pleasure, and the second prince did nothing about it.

It's truly frustrating.

Perhaps the second prince has changed his mind (just kidding), or perhaps his heart has never been with Vesa (just kidding).

It's a truly sad story.

Visa decided to trust the second prince one more time.

After all, he doesn't have many choices now, as he silently follows behind the Second Prince.

As it turns out, being a simp never ends well!

Perhaps we need to change our mindset and find a new way out.

"We've already recruited quite a few people, but it still doesn't feel like enough. Besides that planetary mothership, the remaining battleships are also difficult to deal with."

Hey.

An Ran sighed. If only she could get Night Owl to join forces with them now.

The morale of the Sixth Expeditionary Force, which was blocking the gate, has been low recently, and there have even been desertions.

The group of players that Anran sent to chant sutras were all sent back, but those seemingly meaningless shouts did have a real impact on the mentality of some soldiers.

Unfortunately, even with its cautious and methodical approach, the Night Owl was still unable to break through the defenses.

Even if the Sixth Expeditionary Force were to suddenly withdraw at this point, Night Owl would most likely not launch a long-distance raid.

"We can only do our best."

Composing myself, I calmly began preparing for the upcoming surprise attack.

This time, she doesn't plan to bring any other NPCs besides Ella.

This is too dangerous.

In fact, she didn't plan to rush to the front. Being far away, coupled with the speed of the flying star ship, she could run away immediately if she found the situation was not good.

However, just three days before her departure, Anran met an unexpected person.

Ai Leixi traveled all the way from Ai Xing to come here.

After passing through layers of guards, the first thing he said to An Ran was, "An Ran, your chance has come!"

"What opportunity?"

An Ran appears very enthusiastic on the surface, but she is actually quite wary inside.

Based on the inside information she knew, she had good reason to believe that the Royal Knights had secretly played a significant role in shaping the current situation of the Empire. It was worth analyzing how much of the blame should be placed on the Royal Knights.

"The war in the Selene military industrial zone is unlikely to end anytime soon. The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince have been dragged into this quagmire, and soon the Third Prince will also be forced to send reinforcements to the Selene military industrial zone. This is our opportunity!"

An Ran looked bewildered.

"This is our only chance to cripple the Empire!" Eresh said confidently. "If the Empire hadn't been engulfed in internal strife, our chances of success would have been infinitesimally small; if the strife had continued for another year or two, it would have been too late for us to make a move. Only now, the Imperial family and those nobles have staked most of their fortunes on the defense of the Selene military industrial zone."

They are so weak now, so weak that even just the two of us could tip the scales in one direction.

"What's your breakthrough point?" An Ran pretended to be a good student and "complained," "Actually, I've been troubled by this problem lately. Although I reached an agreement with the Second Prince some time ago, he seems to have the idea of ​​breaking the agreement. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have also come to me."

An Ran did almost nothing to hide from Ai Leixi, so as not to make her suspect that she had "changed her mind".

The main problem was that she had no way of knowing how many Royal Knights spies were on the planet Baplo.

Even with her reconnaissance skills, she couldn't possibly see everyone on the planet.

"The Fifth Expeditionary Force is coming from the rear!"

An Ran nodded: "According to what you said, if everything goes smoothly and the Second Prince is defeated, then it should be the Third Prince's turn to unify the six kingdoms..."

“No,” Eresh interrupted Anran. “It is precisely the Second Prince’s defeat that is most advantageous to us. I have already obtained evidence that the Third Prince directed his subordinates to attack the Royal Council Hall. As soon as the Selene War ends, we can immediately disclose the evidence.”

"..."

You're so ruthless!

An Ran strongly suspects that the Third Prince was not the one who did this.

Although he is a suspect.

The giant star beast that emerged from the cave also seemed to be the work of the Hunter family.

But... normally, he shouldn't be that brain-dead, right?
