"Um."
Looking at Veronica who was smiling in her arms, Soshiyang also smiled, lowered his head and kissed the other person's forehead lightly.
Veronica still maintains the queen's outfit, and is still beautiful and charming, with bright eyes and white teeth, but her outfit has changed a little. Her hair is high behind her head, her slender neck is surrounded by a towering vine-patterned collar, and her round shoulders are exposed. Under the light green skirt with her waist, the slim and slender but flexible body curves are very clear. Then, between the hems of the two skirts, one in front and one in the back, a pair of slender jade legs are faintly visible. Translucent crystal shoes are wrapped around the slender jade feet, and there seems to be a little starlight.
The moment he saw his wife, Soshiyang's gloomy mood suddenly became much clearer and he hugged the other person gently.
"Of course the surprise."
"I was insincere...what happened? I was frowning again? Didn't I win?"
Veronica reached out and pinched Soshiyang's face.
"If you continue to worry about becoming an old man~ just like that Laishande."
"Ha, let's not talk about this, when will you come back?"
"About...2 hours ago? I also looked at the report on this period."
Veronica turned and pointed to the data board on the table.
"It's not easy to win."
"Yes, the sacrifice is also great, and many soldiers were seriously injured... It may be necessary to ask for your help. After all, losing such soldiers is important now. It is better not to enter without fear."
"No problem, anyway, the matter on my side has basically ended, and Valzhiyou has been transported away through the Internet... I will go and see the situation of the wounded later, and I have also seen the casualties. I didn't expect that this battle is so dangerous, and the counterattack of the Red Pirates should not be underestimated."
"Well, this expedition is not that easy to end. Is it so fast on your side? I thought it would be transported back slowly."
Seeing Soshiyan's surprised expression, Veronica poked the other person's head with her slender fingers.
"It's so strange. Val Zhiyou could move quickly through the Internet. It's time-consuming to confirm a safe route. Fortunately, Ji Lan's Internet access point is not difficult to walk. However, Doraulqing still left a fleet in the Great Whirlpool, ready to seize Val Zhiyou in the hands of the Red Pirates at any time. In addition, there were two Ji Lan who arrived in the Ark World a few days ago. I met with their Prophet Council. They were both craft worlds that had drifted on the edge of the Galaxy. They had always lacked troops to defend themselves and were often attacked by forces from all parties. They hoped to get shelter from the royal court. Some representatives of the Virgin World also came to Ji Lan. They hoped to rebuild the Isa shrine in their homes and were willing to provide regular tributes, warriors, and some local specialties alien beasts, but I want to deal with these things when you go back."
The two of them said, walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down.
"Craft World? Is there such a division in the Ark?"
"Of course, not all Ark worlds are... the highly militarized world of Beyetan. Many Ark worlds were already active before the Great Descent. They performed the initial tasks of trade and civilization transmission. The Ark was full of artists, scholars and diplomats. Even after the Great Descent, they were not able to cultivate so many warriors, so they could only stay away from chaos as much as possible. These worlds often produce a lot of exquisite crafts and artworks, and they would trade with most races. Of course, they were communicable races, exchanged for their special resources, or rare minerals, gems, crystals, etc. In addition, they would also collect various rare plants and animals."
Soshyan thought for a moment and said:
"They meant...to completely abandon the wandering life and join the royal court? Or just saying that they hope to get the protection of the royal court army and exchange it with tribute or taxes?"
"It should be the latter."
"That's a vassal. The two craft worlds with rich resources are really attractive. The new construction of the Wangting does require a lot of materials and wealth. However, I have no time to rectify the military power of the Wangting. I am not sure how many troops there are now. I guess... it shouldn't be much. Do you have the spare time to protect the two craft worlds in the distant craft world?"
"ha?"
Veronica frowned slightly, sat in Soshiyang's arms, and pinched the other's nose.
"My dear Lord Phoenix, do you ask me about these things?"
"Oh, it seems that you can only wait until the expedition is over and go back to the royal court before handling it. Do you still need to go back?"
"No need for the time being. After discovering the trace of Val's fortune, I will need to command it myself. After all, besides you, I have the only way to control that thing. There is another thing, well... it is also the suggestion of Doralqing. He hopes to invite the World of Yemlock Ark to the Great Vortex to use their power to seize Val's fortune in the hands of the Red Pirates."
"Yemlok? What's the situation?"
"This is the only known small ark world that believes in Val. It is active on the periphery of the old home (the name of the Bean Sprout is called the Misty Star Domain). Although it is not large in scale, the casting level of this world is extremely high. It has a lost technology called the Soul Furnace, which can cast many military equipment from the Old Empire era. Therefore, it can send a large number of heavy vehicles and war machinery in battle, not the kind of the Netherworld Monarch. I heard that it is a war machinery that is not controlled by soul stones. In addition, their craftsmen can also create a very powerful engine of destruction that can completely destroy a continent in a short time. According to Doralqing, they have been looking for Val's blessing. As long as they tell them that the royal court has these ancient fortresses, they will definitely be willing to surrender."
“Um….”
A Ark World came to the Great Vortex, and Soshyan silently estimated the risks, but he realized that Doral proposed this plan was indeed valuable, because the royal court's troops are not sufficient now, and even fewer people can perform tasks in the Great Vortex. As important as Blackstone, Huron must deploy heavy troops to defend, and there is indeed more confidence in one more reinforcement.
Although there is a risk of being discovered by the Empire, it is undoubtedly worth taking advantage of the risk compared to seizing a Blackstone Fortress and weakening Huron's trump card. Moreover, the military affairs of the Great Vortex are now controlled by him, even if there is a little news, it can be covered up.
Finally, he nodded.
"Doral's opinion is feasible, but you should pay attention to acting invisible."
"Then I told him to do this?"
"Um."
After Soshiyang snorted, he hugged his wife in his arms tightly. Neither of them spoke, as if he was enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
Although surrounded by the chaotic and dark galaxy, at least at this moment, Soshyan felt true tranquility and peace, allowing him to temporarily forget those responsibilities, obligations, secrets and unbearable empire status.
Suddenly, a pair of small hands quietly crawled into his robe...
