In a slave settlement square, Chu Xuan stood on a floating disc, hovering above everyone's heads.

This allowed hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the square to see Chu Xuan.

This slave settlement has the largest population in the Chuhe Starfield, and nearly 80% of the hundreds of thousands of people below were captured from the Chuhe Starfield.

Looking at the people of the Chuhe Star Region, Chu Xuan saw that they were all emaciated, covered in dust, and barely clothed.

Some even had obvious signs of torture on their bodies.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Chu Xuan bit her lip and bowed deeply to everyone.

A few simple words caused the entire square to lose control of its emotions, with men, women, and children alike breaking down in tears.

"Please rest assured, everyone. I, Chu Xuan, am here today to take you all home."

I've arranged for an interstellar transport ship to come and pick everyone up soon.

"When the time comes, everyone can board the interstellar transport ship and return to the Chuhe Starfield, back to your home," Chu Xuan said.

Many people were overjoyed.

But some people were filled with sorrow.

A man roared in anguish, “Where is our home now? These beasts attacked our town and burned it to the ground.”

All those who resisted were slaughtered.

We...we have no home to go back to.

Chu Xuan clenched her fists and said with a firm gaze, "Please rest assured, everyone, as long as you are still alive, as long as my Chu family still exists."

Destroyed homes can be rebuilt, and we will meet all your needs.

At the same time, our Chu family fleet will swear here that those bastards who set foot on our homeland, I, Chu Xuan, will settle this score with them bit by bit!

"A fight to the death!"

With Chu Xuan's promise, the emotions of the people from the Chuhe Star Region were brought under control.

But those who were not from the Chuhe Star Region were now worried, and some of them knelt on the ground, praying to the heavens.

"Please, sir, take us away."

“We can’t survive here. Those beasts don’t even consider us human.”

"We'll do anything you ask as long as you get us out of this hellhole."

Chu Xuan looked at these people who were not from the Chuhe Star Region. In fact, Chu Xuan had already received orders to settle these people.

"Please rest assured, we will take all the people on this planet with us today."

However, you are not going to the Chuhe Star Region, but to the Xiaolong Star System. There is a lord there who will take care of you and settle you in.

As long as you follow the Lord's arrangements, I believe you will live a comfortable life.

At the same time, the Dragon Lord also promised that if you wanted to leave, he wouldn't stop you; you could leave on your own. Chu Xuan read out the order Zhao Chen had previously given.

Although the Chuhe Star Region has many planets, it doesn't have enough manpower, material resources, and financial resources to accommodate and settle so many slaves.

And all of these exist in the Xiaolong Galaxy.

Coincidentally, what Zhao Chen needs right now is manpower.

Not only is the Xiaolong star system short of manpower, but the five resource star regions outside are also short of manpower.

If we take these slaves of the Qian family back, as long as we guarantee them a basic standard of living, the vast majority of them will be willing to stay in the Xiaolong Galaxy!

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, the people were relieved and obediently waited for their arrangements.

Chu Xuan visited several slave settlements in the Chuhe Star Region. Upon seeing the conditions of the people in the Chuhe Star Region, her anger towards the Qian family almost reached its peak.

If the Chu family army were here, Chu Xuan would not hesitate to attack the Qian family!

It's a pity this is the Star Alliance, not the Star Empire.

After searching around, Chu Xuan returned to the bridge of the T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyer.

Chu Xuan walked onto the bridge, went to the captain's chair, looked at Commander Zhao Chen, saluted, and reported: "Our statistics are complete."

There are a total of 30 billion slaves on this planet.

Five billion of them are citizens of the Chuhe Starfield, mostly from small planets on the border of the Chuhe Starfield. Because of their remote location, they have little contact with the core area of ​​the Chuhe Starfield.

Furthermore, these bastards are adept at hiding their tracks, which is why they were able to abduct the inhabitants of these planets and enslave them.

"Three hundred billion?" Zhao Chen was greatly surprised. He had not expected that such a small, barren planet would be home to three hundred billion people.

Zhao Chen originally predicted that under normal circumstances, this planet would be lucky to have a population of one billion, because the living environment was just too bad.

But unexpectedly, it amounted to 30 billion.

Now that I think about it again, I understand.

The Qian family didn't arrange for these people on this planet to live in peace and prosperity; they just made them work for them. So, their living conditions are probably terrible, with everyone living in crowded settlements.

Moreover, large numbers of slaves died every day.

With 30 billion people allocated, there's no need to worry about personnel losses; if someone dies, just replace them.

"In addition, we obtained another piece of intelligence from several slave interstellar transport ships."

These slave interstellar transport ships are responsible for transporting the corpses of slaves, or slaves who do not meet labor standards, to designated locations.

Each transport mission is carried out in a highly secretive manner, and all flight data is deleted after each mission is completed.

"But we're lucky. There just happened to be a slave interstellar transport ship that had just started its transport mission, entered its navigation coordinates, and hadn't had time to delete them!" As he spoke, a navigation map appeared in front of the two of them.

Chu Xuan then looked at Saint Cana beside her.

Sensing Chu Xuan's gaze, Saint Cana paused for a moment, then quickly walked up to Chu Xuan.

Looking at Chu Xuan's navigation map, Saint Cana showed an expression of disbelief, even... horror.

"Is this the territory of the family behind that Holy Lance Legion?" Zhao Chen asked casually.

That's roughly the answer; otherwise, the Holy Lance Legion wouldn't have marched into the Star Alliance at this time.

“No...” Saint Cana whispered.

Zhao Chen looked surprised: "It's not the territory of the family behind the Holy Lance Legion? Then where is this place?"

Saint Cana remained silent, her expression suggesting she was unwilling to believe the evidence.

Chu Xuan understood immediately and began investigating the coordinates, which she found very quickly.

"This coordinate location is within the territory of the Saint Family... a military restricted area..." Chu Xuan also showed a surprised expression at this moment.

"The Saint Family? That name... I think I've heard it before..." Zhao Chen looked thoughtful.

Saint Cana then spoke up: "The Saint Family is the strongest family in the Holy Radiance Empire, and two of the current five Imperial Governors are from the Saint Family."

Another teacher came from a family of saints.

More than half of the seats in the Imperial Senate are influenced by the Saints' families.

And the Holy Lance Corps... was actually trained by the Saint Family. Although they bear the title of Holy Lance Corps, the higher-ups within our Holy Radiance Empire know that they are merely a hunting dog of the Saint Family.
