When Zhao Chen saw Saint Cana again.

He found that this fleet commander, who was once like a jewel in a crown, was now like a pearl covered in dust, and it was hard to see her former brilliance.

His eyes were somewhat dim, and his expression was somewhat helpless.

His overall mental state was very bad.

The moment Zhao Chen's image appeared, a slightly different look appeared in his eyes.

"Miss Saint Cana, how have you been lately?" Zhao Chen asked as if he were an old friend.

"Your Excellency... does your previous promise still stand?" Saint Cana gazed at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen shrugged in confusion: "Miss Saint Cana seems to have some misunderstanding. I have never made any promises."

If you're referring to our previous conversation, that was just a suggestion I gave Miss Saint Cana, a suggestion from an old friend.

"Stop beating around the bush."

"I don't have much time left, and neither do the people here..." Saint Cana suddenly shouted, her emotions somewhat out of control.

Zhao Chen frowned slightly: "It seems that the situation of the Holy Radiant Empire is not optimistic."

"Don't your henchmen sent to the Holy Radiant Empire know what's happening here?" Saint Cana said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Zhao Chen shook his head: "I did send some people to the Holy Radiant Empire to deliver messages to me."

However, due to my recent involvement in the Warhammer campaign, I haven't been paying much attention to the Holy Radiant Empire.

So there are many things... I only know the basics.

"Those bastards, they actually abandoned... abandoned three star systems, and abandoned a total of one hundred trillion lives there!"

How dare they make such a decision!

"How dare they..." Saint Cana gritted her teeth, trying to control her emotions, as if she would collapse at any moment.

"Just today, they also established something like... a migration plan..."

Are they prepared to abandon trillions of lives in the Holy Glory Empire this time?

"They betrayed the Holy Light! They...they have no Holy Light in their hearts at all!" Saint Cana roared hysterically.

"Could you... take your time?" Zhao Chen suggested.

He needs to sort through the intelligence he knows.

Saint Cana gradually calmed down, and she explained to Zhao Chen the great catastrophe that was currently taking place in the Holy Radiant Empire.

That's right, it's the Great Cataclysm.

Within half a month, the wormhole that appeared in the Holy Radiant Empire could no longer be kept secret from the public.

While causing panic, it also gave rise to the term 'Zerg Cataclysm'.

This is the name given to this disaster.

It all started with the last operation to encircle and destroy the T5 Zergling mothership.

After that encirclement and suppression operation failed.

Two factions quickly emerged within the Imperial Senate.

One group, known as the Exiles, is a portion of the current population of the Holy Radiant Empire, along with all its technology, that has embarked on an interstellar exile.

They have even found a region of stars suitable for settlement.

Located at the other end of the Mech race, it is also a channel cleared by the Mech race's withdrawal.

It only takes about six months of sailing to reach the target star system.

At that time, the exiles can establish a new Holy Radiant Empire there.

Opposing the exiled faction are naturally the pro-war faction.

The pro-war faction is determined to fight the interstellar Zerg to the death and defend this empire until the very last moment.

Because of the conflict between the two factions, the Imperial Senate was unable to establish any new battle plans.

The invading interstellar Zerg also began a large-scale invasion, like a prairie being set on fire.

But as if no one was controlling it, the fire began to spread wildly, and the speed of its spread increased.

It even threatened the most densely populated area of ​​the Holy Glory Empire, which consisted of three star regions. Although not the most prosperous star regions of the empire, they were the most populous, with a total of one hundred trillion people!

What does one hundred trillion people mean?

Before the civil war, the Starry Empire's population at its peak was only a little over three hundred trillion.

This means that one-third of the Star Empire's population is concentrated in these three star regions.

Whether the Zerg sensed the abundance of food in the area or not, they suddenly launched an attack on three star systems in that direction.

Like a fire sweeping across the grassland, suddenly met by a strong wind, the fire gained momentum from the wind and swept across the area.

In this direction, there are actually multiple Imperial Legions stationed, with at least 100,000 interstellar warships, and even several Holy Light Legions that have withdrawn from previous battles to rest and recuperate.

The Imperial Senate discussed this situation for dozens of hours.

The final conclusion was to abandon these three star systems.

All Imperial Legions and the Holy Light Legion retreated.

The pro-war faction was naturally furious about this, but they were powerless to change the fact.

Because it was during this meeting that the Saints family proposed withdrawing their troops and abandoning these three star systems.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen took a deep breath. In fact, he had known about the Imperial Senate's decision to abandon three star regions immediately. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He also felt sorrow for the trillions of lives that had been abandoned.

He could even picture the scenes after those planets had been conquered.

At that time, the battle with the Demon Clan fleet had just ended, and the Dragon Legion needed to rest and resupply strategic materials.

Zhao Chen himself was not confident that he could stop the interstellar Zerg.

He couldn't possibly send his fleet to its death just because of his sympathy.

"So you didn't come to me then, but you're coming to me now."

"Is it because they've already decided to abandon the Holy Radiant Empire?" Zhao Chen looked at Saint Cana.

He understood this woman's character; she wouldn't give up her original beliefs unless she was driven to utter despair.

"Their biggest mistake was fleeing alone, abandoning the hundreds of millions of people in the empire!"

"I absolutely will not allow this to happen," Saint Cana said through gritted teeth.

The Imperial Senate and the Saint Family have crossed Saint Cana's line.

That is the people, that is the Holy Spirit race.

"So what do you want from me if you contact me now?" Zhao Chen stared at Saint Cana and placed his last piece.

He needs to completely shatter Saint Cana's defenses.

Let her take that step herself.

Only in this way can the diamond on the crown of this sacred and glorious empire be completely integrated into oneself.

Saint Cana clenched her fists and stared at Zhao Chen: "I need your power."

Change everything that is happening in the Holy Radiance Empire and save the Holy Spirits who are about to lose their homeland in the Great Cataclysm.

I am willing to pay any price for this.

Even if it means surrendering to the devil.
