"A detailed star map of the Reef Starfield? That's not a difficult task; I can find one for you right here." The hot woman quickly found the detailed star map Zhao Chen had requested.

While it was called a detailed star map, it wasn't actually very professional.

However, it could roughly identify the location of each Star System and some information within them.

"Annie, take a look. Where is your hometown?" Zhao Chen showed the star map of the Reef Starfield to Annie.

Annie stood on her tiptoes to look at the star map.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen adjusted the position of the holographic projection downwards to make it easier for Annie to see.

"It's right here! It's right here! Annie's home is right here!" Annie suddenly pointed excitedly at a location on the star map.

Zhao Chen recorded this location.

"You are planning to go to the Third Planet of the FY Star System, right? Then I advise you to be careful; I heard that there is a war going on there." The hot woman beside them spoke up.

"A war?" Zhao Chen displayed a surprised expression.

Annie, standing nearby, immediately became worried, her face filled with concern.

The hot woman didn't speak for a moment, and seeing this, Zhao Chen took out a small bag of crystals and tossed it to her.

The hot woman immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "I only heard about it too. Three months ago, a mineral vein was discovered on the Third Planet of the FY Star ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) System, containing a large amount of special mineral resources.

Although it might not compare to those mineral resources outside, in our Reef Starfield, this thing counts as a gold mine.

And the Fire Lizard Tribe, who have always regarded the FY Star System as their territory, threatened the indigenous people on that planet three months ago to leave, claiming the planet was the private property of the Fire Lizard Tribe.

But how could such a demand be fulfilled?

I heard that the main race on that planet is the Dwarves, and they protested strongly.

Afterwards, the Fire Lizard Tribe began to mobilize their Starfleet and laid siege to the planet, about a week ago.

I heard that the few Starships of the Dwarves on that planet have all been destroyed and fallen, and now the Dwarves can only carry out some counterattacks on the planet's surface.

But facing the Fire Lizard Tribe, defeat is only a matter of time."

Hearing that her hometown was under attack, that the Starfleet had all fallen, and her people were caught in the flames of war, Annie looked panicked and instinctively grabbed the corner of Zhao Chen's clothes.

She didn't know when it started, but she had begun to subconsciously trust and rely on the man beside her.

"Can you provide me with detailed information about the Fire Lizard Tribe? The more detailed, the better!" Zhao Chen took out another bag of crystals.

The hot woman, seeing money, immediately got to work.

In a short while, she had prepared the intelligence Zhao Chen needed.

"Thank you for the information." After thanking the hot woman, Zhao Chen returned to the elevator with Annie.

The elevator returned to the Starship, while the freight elevator next to it began to continuously transport the goods Zhao Chen had ordered.

"What happened?" Charlotte saw Annie tugging at Zhao Chen's clothes, her eyes red.

Before Zhao Chen could speak, Annie, unable to hold it in any longer, pleaded with a sobbing voice, "Commander... Commander, please... help... help save Annie's people...

Annie will definitely work hard in the future... Annie can... Annie doesn't need those meals... eating... eating nutritional meals is fine...

As long as... as long as... Commander can save Annie's people... Annie... not eating is fine too..."

Annie, whose heart was in a panic, was already starting to ramble.

Zhao Chen patted Annie's head. "Silly girl, if you don't eat, how can you work for me? Listen to me, you are not allowed to cry now. As long as you stop crying, I will find a way to save your people."

Upon hearing this, Annie immediately stopped sobbing, but snot ran down her little nose. She didn't dare to make any moves, looking so aggrieved.

"You've become a little snot-nosed brat. Go wash your face properly. I'll discuss with Charlotte how to save your people." Zhao Chen pinched Annie's cheek.

"Mm..." Annie nodded, then walked towards a restroom near the Bridge, looking back every three steps.

Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen raised his hand and opened the data the hot woman had just given him.

"This is a local interstellar force in the Reef Starfield, with the Fire Lizard Tribe as the main body. The FY Star System where Annie is located had always been under the control of the Fire Lizard Tribe.

Before this, on the planet where the Dwarves lived, the Dwarves exchanged part of their income regularly for the protection of the Fire Lizard Tribe.

But three months ago, a mineral vein was discovered on the planet of Annie's people, and the Fire Lizard Tribe wanted to take it for themselves.

They recently launched an attack on that planet, having already wiped out the Starfleet of Annie's people, leaving only the Dwarf troops to put up some resistance on the planet's surface." Zhao Chen introduced the current situation to Charlotte.

Then he pointed to the intelligence on the Fire Lizard Tribe in front of him: "This is the relevant intelligence on the Fire Lizard Tribe."

After listening, Charlotte began to carefully examine the intelligence on the Fire Lizard Tribe.

The Fire Lizard Tribe controlled several Star Systems in the Reef Starfield, and the FY Star System was one of them.

They claimed to the outside world that they had a Legion Fleet of over three thousand Interstellar Warships.

In reality, 80% of them were T1-level Interstellar Warships.

The number of Interstellar Warships that could truly be called the combat power of the Fire Lizard Tribe was only over five hundred.

And among these five hundred-plus Interstellar Warships, there were five T3 Interstellar Warships, and the rest were T2-level Interstellar Warships.

It was precisely by relying on these five t3 level Interstellar Warships that the Fire Lizard Tribe possessed the ability to control these Star Systems.

And they were also able to become a small hegemon in the Reef Starfield.

"Do you think we can handle it?" Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte raised her hand, opened the virtual projection of those Star Systems, and marked the Star System where Annie's tribe was located.

"According to the information we have now, the Fire Lizard Tribe has mobilized a total of three hundred Interstellar Warships to participate in this battle to besiege the planet of Annie's tribe.

Among these three hundred Interstellar Warships, the only ones that pose a threat are sixty T2-level Interstellar Warships and one t3 level Interstellar Warship.

Although the quantity is large, generally speaking, our T3 Blizzard can completely handle it." Charlotte said confidently, "But one problem that exists is that the Fire Lizard Tribe will likely send reinforcements later.

If they mobilize half of the Interstellar Warships under their command.

If we engage in a protracted battle with the enemy, it's not a big problem. The problem is, if we also need to protect Annie's planet at the same time, it will be very tricky."

If the Fire Lizard Tribe's Interstellar Warships were to bypass the T3 Blizzard and attack Annie's planet, there would indeed be a great risk.

"Try to contact Lilith." Zhao Chen said with a serious expression.

These Dwarves were the 'treasures' he had his eye on, and he would not allow any mishaps.

And it seemed the system thought so too, as it had already issued a system mission.
