Zhao Chen rushed back to his own Xiaolong Galaxy from the Imperial Capital Star without stopping. It must be said that his status as an Imperial Marquis is still very useful nowadays.
When using those star gates, Marquis Zhao Chen has priority and has unimpeded access.
The return trip took half the time compared to the trip to the Imperial Capital Star.
"Report, our ship has released the warp sailing mode. It has now returned to the Xiaolong Galaxy and is expected to enter the Xiaolong Base in ten minutes." The captain of the T3 Snowstorm reported to Zhao Chenhui.
"I'm finally back." Zhao Chen stretched.
Five days ago, Zhao Chen ordered his Xiaolong Legion to go to the Cangyue Star Territory to rescue his eldest sister Zhao Ruyue.
As soon as the rescue operation was successfully completed, Zhao Chen actually received 'feedback'.
That is naturally a reminder that the task is completed.
The reward for this mission is relatively simple.
10,000 system points, 50 mission points and the technical drawings of the T3 Templar-class medium-sized starfighting mecha.
The star battle mech may not be as important as the star battleship, but it is an indispensable part of the interstellar war.
Originally, Zhao Chen was planning to exchange for a T3-level starfighting mecha and equip it for his own starship.
It's okay now. If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
As we get closer and closer to Xiaolong Base, in the image on the bridge, the T3 Phoenix-class heavy aircraft carrier starship appears in the distance.
Zhao Chen stood up and looked at the reluctant female captain next to him: "I have to go back. It's been a nice trip."
The female captain looked at Commander Zhao Chen's leaving figure, and all the female soldiers on the bridge looked heartbroken.
I don’t know if I will ever have this kind of opportunity to spend a long time with the Commander again in this life.

Zhao Chen looked at the familiar crimson hull painting, and the crew members stood up to say hello when they saw the commander.
"Welcome back, Commander." Secretary Lilith looked at Zhao Chen with a smile. Next to her was the captain's chair that had been prepared.
Zhao Chen returned to his familiar position: "Because we were all in a hurry, I didn't learn more about your battle situation in the Cang Yue Star Territory.
You can report to me now."
"Okay." Secretary Lilith raised her hand, called up several data panels, and said: "This rescue operation.
We mobilized almost all our troops, relying on the newly commissioned second T4 Huiguang-class interstellar jump ship. The cooperation of the two T4 Huiguang ships allowed us to quickly withdraw after completing the rescue mission.
During the battle, we faced an interstellar legion fleet of nearly 10,000 interstellar battleships headed by Qin Hu, the third prince of the Xingyao Empire. Their combat effectiveness was equivalent to that of the second-tier imperial army.
The battle cost approximately one billion star coins, and resulted in the loss of three T3 Triceratops-class interstellar heavy-armor assault frigates, five T2 Black Rhino-class interstellar heavy-armor assault frigates, and a certain number of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones.
There were three hundred and twenty-three casualties.
Enemy annihilation data: The battle lasted one hour and fifteen minutes, and nearly 3,000 enemy interstellar battleships were annihilated."
Zhao Chen looked at the loss data and said: "This is not a small loss for us. It can be regarded as the largest loss among all the battles we have experienced."
"Yes. Mainly because this time the enemy is the strongest we have ever encountered.
Ten thousand star battleships of the Star Empire Imperial Army are only the combat power of the second-line Imperial Army, but such a number still causes us a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, we were only conducting rescue operations. We evacuated quickly after rescuing the target. Deputy Commander Charlotte said that if we continue to fight with our current strength, we will definitely lose.
Moreover, the enemy also had a T4 Borei class heavy interstellar battleship, and we had two T3 Triceratops class interstellar heavy assault frigates that were hit and fell by the attack of the T4 Borei class heavy interstellar battleship." Secretary Lilith
The official said.
The opponent in this battle.
Although the number is similar to the three legion fleets that the United Warhammer Star Wars fought against before.
However, the form of combat is completely different, so the difficulty is completely different for Xiaolong Legion.
When facing the three legion fleets of the Warhammer Interstellar United States, they adopted warp speed interception and ambush operations to catch them off guard.
Some Warhammer enemy ships were destroyed without even deploying their star shields.
At that time, the Xiaolong Legion had an absolute advantage.
This time, the 10,000-ship imperial fleet of the Star Glory Empire remained in combat mode.
Although the Xiaolong Legion still made a surprise attack, this time the opponent was prepared and their formation was relatively loose.
After paying such a minimum of casualties and battle losses, achieving the strategic goal of annihilating 3,000 enemy interstellar battleships and rescuing the princess's royal fleet is already a pretty good achievement.
But this sudden rescue battle also illustrates one point.
That is the lack of strength of the Xiaolong Legion.
The Xiaolong Legion is still unable to engage in large-scale head-on battles with equally matched opponents. Once the battle lines are stretched and a large-scale interstellar battle begins, even if the Xiaolong Legion ultimately wins, it will most likely be a tragic victory.
This is the difference in background.
"How are the arrangements for the princess's royal fleet?" Zhao Chen asked about the spies he had rescued.
If the current senior officials of the Xingyao Empire knew that the little princess was in their hands, the princes who were really in power would never let Zhao Chen go.
"According to your previous instructions, the Princess Royal Fleet has all been arranged to the Lion Galaxy and is under closed management. No interstellar warships are allowed to leave the military control zone of the Lion Galaxy without permission." Secretary Lilith replied.
Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction.
After rescuing the little princess, to be honest, Zhao Chen hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet.
No matter what, I can't expose the news that I have the little princess at the moment, so I will first arrange them in the Lion King Galaxy.
"How many interstellar battleships are there in the Princess Royal Fleet?" Zhao Chen asked.
"This time we rescued a total of 832 interstellar battleships, but one-third of them were seriously damaged.
If it weren't for our Huiguang-class interstellar jump ship, those interstellar battleships would not even be able to sail at warp speed and would not be able to escape at all.
The remaining two-thirds of the star battleships also suffered varying degrees of damage.
Among the two T4 Borei-class heavy-duty star battleships, one was seriously damaged and may be difficult to repair.
There is only one ship left, which is the little princess's ship, which is relatively good, but only relatively speaking." Secretary Lilith reported one by one.
"Where is my sister? Where is she now?" Zhao Chen asked.
"During your absence, Miss Wan'er accompanied your eldest sister to wander around the Xiaolong Galaxy.
According to your permission, Miss Zhao Ruyue is granted first-level permission to enter all interstellar battleships." Secretary Lilith said.
Zhao Chen nodded, it was time for him to meet his eldest sister.
"Let's make some arrangements. I want to see my eldest sister."
