"Welcome to your safe return, everyone has worked hard this time!"
Setan.
As a spaceship landed at the docking area in Setan City, Xu Lei and other captains had just gotten off the spacecraft when they saw Qiao Xiuer and other council presidents rushing forward to greet them, their mouths full of excitement and concern.
Especially the look in Xu Lei's eyes was even more fiery.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder took over the words and echoed: "You have achieved such excellent results on behalf of Setan Planet in this crystal core resource allocation conference. You are undoubtedly the heroes of the entire Orion Spiral Arm. Please accept it."
My highest respect!”
After saying this, he immediately straightened his body and faced Xu Lei and others and performed the highest etiquette gesture of Setan.
Others responded quickly.
"The Great Elder made a serious statement. We are all part of the spiral arm of Orion. This is what should be done." Xu Lei ended the topic with a smile on his face.
Considering that he was in a public place, Qiao Xiuer soon said again: "It's getting late, let's go back to the House of Representatives first."
Because of the special characteristics of Setan, the entire planet is like an extremely huge battleship. There is no vast space like a normal planet, so the fleet can only be parked in the space port on the periphery of the planet.
Xu Lei and other captains took the spaceship back to Setan City.
Just as Qiao Xiuer said, the city spaceship parking area they are currently in is a public area, and many people gather around it.
In particular, the news that the House of Representatives was going to hold a celebration had spread throughout the planet Setan, which caused many strange faces from other civilizations to flood into the city at this time.
At the critical moment, Xu Lei's importance to Setan is self-evident, and there must be no problems.
Then the great elder also made the same expression.
"Elder Qiao Xiuer is right."
"The celebration ceremony has been prepared over at the House of Representatives. Now we are waiting for you protagonists to arrive. Everyone, please get in the car first."
Seeing the two elders of the Senate saying this, Xu Lei naturally would not delay anything at this time, and immediately replied: "That's really what I'm looking forward to!" After saying that, he followed Qiao Xiuer and the elder to the rail car that had been prepared.
go.
As for the remaining captains, they are already under the leadership of the House of Representatives, and they must obey unconditionally at this time.
Besides, this isn't a bad thing.
Not long after.
When everyone got into the rail car and headed to the House of Representatives.
The crowd of onlookers who had gathered finally gradually evacuated.
It can only be said that Xu Lei's popularity and influence in the galaxy today are no worse than those of the big-name stars on Earth in the past, and he can probably attract attention wherever he goes.
After all, the scene of subduing the star beast alone has been engraved in the minds of many people.
It is also worth mentioning that the Great Elder and Qiao Xiuer were still not idle on the rail car. When the First Elder secretly winked at Qiao Xiuer, he heard Qiao Xiuer take the initiative to ask about Xu Lei.
Want to know more important information.
"This trip to the Cygnus spiral arm will go well. It will definitely not be easy to defeat the Red Rock Galaxy."
Hearing Qiao Xiuer's words, Xu Lei couldn't help but frown secretly. It seemed like he was chatting casually about family matters, but the task assignment was broadcast live, and it was really unnecessary to ask this kind of question now.
Apparently the House of Representatives has other ideas.
Although Xu Lei didn't know what the other party was thinking for the time being, seeing that his curiosity was aroused, he definitely had to find out more.
Therefore, he did not make any nonsense, and then said truthfully: "The fleet of the Red Rock Galaxy is indeed powerful, but the sudden appearance of the star beast created a very good opportunity for us."
"Then I really have to thank this star beast." Qiao Xiuer said perfunctorily, a little out of sorts.
The next second, the other party seemed to have made up his mind and brought up a new topic again: "I wonder what you are going to do next?"
Hearing this, Xu Lei couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
Know the other person’s true intentions.
After the battle on the unknown star in the spiral arm of Cygnus, the strength of his eternal body was completely revealed. It can be said that the entire galaxy's civilization knows his strength.
But there is something rather embarrassing.
That is, Xu Lei was not born on Setan.
In this case, if other civilizations offer higher chips, it is difficult to guarantee that Xu Lei will not leave the Orion spiral arm.
Although Qiao Xiuer is willing to trust Xu Lei, he must know that unilateral trust can easily lead to very serious consequences for himself.
It would be fine if Qiao Xiuer was an individual.
But with the Setan Star behind it, this matter must be clarified.
That's why he asked Xu Lei about his plans for the next time on the way back to the House of Representatives, just to make sure whether Xu Lei would leave the Orion spiral arm. Only by getting an accurate answer could he feel completely at ease.
Of course, Xu Lei was not dissatisfied with Qiao Xiuer's approach. After all, if he were in that position, he would probably adopt the same method.
But I have to say that Qiao Xiuer's worries are unnecessary.
As long as the solar system is still within the Orion spiral arm, it is impossible for him to defect to other civilizations.
So in order to completely reassure Qiao Xiuer and the great elder next to him, Xu Lei said directly: "The solar system I am in is still relatively weak. I will continue to stay in the solar system in the future to help civilization develop and progress rapidly."
First of all, he really doesn't have any urgent goals now. Of course, he wants to take advantage of the hard-earned free time to enjoy life and accompany his parents, lover and daughter.
There was also a reminder from the inspector Uma when he came back.
Since Umadu has made it clear that Red Rock Galaxy may take action, it is basically a certainty.
In this case, he must stay and take command and control the overall situation.
Otherwise, I really don’t worry.
You must know that unlike the previous threats from the Pioneer Empire, the Red Rock Galaxy is the most powerful civilization in the Milky Way. Coupled with its own strong influence, if it uses tricks secretly, I am afraid that the solar system will not be able to resist it at all.
Fortunately, after this period of hard work, especially the construction of the Star Gate and the support of Setan, the production efficiency of the Titan Shipyard has been greatly improved.
With a large supply of crystal cores, medium-sized battleships are being produced continuously.
In addition to being able to arm the alliance fleet, the key is the influence it brings. Based on the tens of millions of influence given by each warship, I believe that it will not take long for his total influence to exceed hundreds of millions.
At that time, you can exchange them for new third-level civilization exhibits in the Science and Technology Museum.
And this is also his trump card against the Red Rock Galaxy.
Qiao Xiuer, who was originally looking solemn, suddenly had a smile on his face after hearing the answer given by Xu Lei.
Obviously very satisfied.
"Don't forget to nurture your own civilization. This is indeed what you should do. Setan will continue to increase its support for the solar system." While answering, he also made a new commitment.
And judging from the fact that the great elder turned a blind eye, he obviously agreed.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Xu Lei works for Setan or not, because the solar system belongs to the Orion spiral arm. No matter which civilization develops rapidly, the civilizations in the entire Orion spiral arm will ultimately benefit.
Besides, Qiao Xiuer was the first to come into contact with Xu Lei and knew Xu Lei's character very well. He knew that using coercion would only be counterproductive.
So for Setan, it only needs to be firmly bound to the solar system.
But when the topic came to this matter, Xu Lei suddenly felt that he should let them know about the Red Rock Galaxy, so that if something happens later, they can take timely measures.
To avoid getting into panic then.
Thinking of this, he organized his words a little and then immediately said: "By the way, there is one more thing I need to remind you of."
"Oh, what is it?" Qiao Xiuer asked slightly confused.
"Although we successfully defeated the Red Rock Galaxy this time with the help of the uncertain factor of star beasts, we also had a grudge with the Red Rock Galaxy, especially their battleships that suffered a lot of damage. I'm afraid this debt will also be counted on us.
superior."
Almost as soon as Xu Lei finished speaking, the great elder next to him suddenly said: "Are you worried that Hongyan Galaxy will retaliate?"
"Of course I'm not worried about Planet Setan, but I'm just worried about the other side of the solar system..." Although Xu Lei didn't finish his words, the Great Elder and Qiao Xiuer already understood the meaning, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
Because if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a problem that needs to be solved.
After about ten seconds of silence, the Great Elder said in a deep voice: "Although the solar system has become a second-level civilization, its heritage is indeed much worse than that of other civilizations. If the Red Rock Galaxy intends to suppress it, I am afraid that it will not work with the outside world."
Many of Star's businesses will suffer."
At this point, there was a tactical pause for two seconds, and then he added: "But don't worry, no matter what happens to the solar system, Setan will be your strongest backing."
"I am measured." Xu Lei nodded with a fierce look in his eyes: "They are not the first civilization to have ideas about the solar system."
…
It didn't take long when the railcar arrived at the House.
Xu Lei and others got off the carriage and before they reached the door, they saw a familiar figure among the welcoming crowd.
He immediately quickened his pace.
After walking to the other party and standing still, a bright smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xishuo, I haven't had time to contact you during this time. I'm really sorry."
Yes.
The acquaintance Xu Lei mentioned was Xi Shuo, the head of the Qianxing City Security Bureau.
For Xi Shuo, Xu Lei's success in condensing an eternal body undoubtedly made up for the regrets in his life.
Coupled with the relationship between the two, they naturally won't care about such trivial matters.
Then Xi Shuo took the initiative to reach out and pat Xu Lei on the shoulder, and said proudly: "It turns out that I was not wrong about you at the beginning. Thank you for helping me solve this biggest regret in my life."

"Brother Xishuo, you are really breaking me. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have the chance to condense the eternal body." Feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders, Xu Lei said gratefully.
In the following time, the two exchanged a few words with each other and walked into the chamber together.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of what happened in the past, Xi Shuo did not have much favorable impression of the House of Representatives. This time, he mainly congratulated Xu Lei and only went to the House of Representatives to give Qiao Xiuer face.
He originally wanted to return to Thousand Stars City after saying hello to Xu Lei, but in the end Xu Lei forced him to stay for a while.
It can be considered that I participated in the entire celebration ceremony.
Xu Lei mentioned his plan on the way back to the Senate. Now that everything has been settled, there is no reason to continue to stay on Setan.
You must know that he has not interfered with the Pioneer Star for a long time.
In addition, the Earth Star officially has a star gate, and mankind's first appearance on the big stage of the Milky Way requires more attention from him. Therefore, he is eager to return to the solar system to witness the changes in human civilization with his own eyes.
Under such circumstances, the Great Elder and Qiao Xiuer did not try to persuade him to stay.
After confirming that the two parties would be in close contact with the Star Gate through the Management Bureau platform in the future, they watched Xu Lei and Xi Shuo return to Thousand Star City together.
Directly reach the solar system through the third-level star gate of Thousand Star City.
While Xu Lei was returning to the solar system, the civilization of the red rock star system far away in the Perseus spiral arm was immersed in a serious atmosphere.
Mass pride is at an all-time low.
At the same time, Hongyan Civilization also convened a federal meeting as quickly as possible to try and punish those who caused the incident. In addition to Ba Jun, who was primarily responsible, Longshan, a federal congressman, was also involved.
Due to the system of Hongyan Civilization, members have higher rights.
To put a member on trial, in addition to the highest-level federal meeting, all members must participate.
It can be said that Ba Jun took advantage of Longshan this time.
Otherwise, as the leader of the fleet, he might not be qualified to be tried by so many congressmen.
But for the Red Rock Galaxy, this is a scandal after all, especially during the current period of low morale. If it is made public, I am afraid it will have an even worse impact.
To a certain extent, this approach can be regarded as preserving the dignity of Longshan and Bajun.
——
"As the most elite fleet commander in our Red Rock Galaxy, you have caused a lot of damage to the battleships due to your negligence, and you have failed to obtain the highest share of crystal core resources for our Perseus spiral arm. Do you admit your guilt?
"
Perseus spiral arm.
Red Rock Star.
Central Special Zone.
In the Federal Building, which is the seat of the highest authority in civilization, one of the members who also serves as the judge sat in the round table council and questioned Ba Jun in front of him.
At this time, Ba Jun had already taken off his uniform and was simply wearing ordinary clothes.
Although he was not wearing any shackles, his whole body was lifeless, as if he was an eggplant beaten by frost.
There is no fighting spirit at all.
If Xu Lei were here at this time, he would definitely be very surprised, because compared to when he was near the Nameless Star that day, he is simply a completely different person.
Ba Jun is able to serve as the leader of the most powerful fleet in civilization, so he is naturally proud of it.
But the result of this mission completely destroyed his pride.
Therefore, let alone being tried by the federal government, even if he continues to be the person in charge, it will be difficult for him to perform at his original level.
So when he finally faced the MP's question, he didn't have any objections and just condensed all the anger in his heart into a request.
"I plead guilty, but I implore the Federation to wash away the shame of the Red Rock Galaxy and let some weak civilizations know that a single fluke can prove nothing!"
