"Hey, watch your analogy. You're making it sound like I'm some kind of evil."

Zhao Chen rolled his eyes: "I don't use any coercion here, it's all based on the principle of voluntariness."

“I...” Saint Cana then realized that what she had said earlier was indeed inappropriate because she was affected by her emotions.

"No need to say more."

Now that you've made your decision, let's get straight to the point.

First of all, I am willing to send troops to help you.

But everything must be under my command and guidance.

In other words, even if I issue an order like abandoning three star systems, you must carry it out. Zhao Chen looked at Saint Cana seriously.

Saint Cana's expression changed slightly.

"But I can assure you, I will prevent this disaster from happening."

At least I can give you back your home, unlike those hypocritical cowards who only know how to run away.

Saint Cana nodded: "You don't need to tell me any more. I'm a soldier, and I know when to make a decision."

Zhao Chen also believed in Saint Cana on this point; she wasn't the kind of person who acted impulsively.

Otherwise, when the Imperial Senate abandoned three star regions, they would have contacted Zhao Chen.

At the time, she still hoped that this was just a delaying tactic, until the Imperial Senate actually made the decision to abandon this homeland and carry out the relocation plan.

Saint Cana then learned that the Imperial Senate and the Saint Family had long since betrayed their oath to the Holy Light to protect this place forever.

"Furthermore, let me be frank with you."

I won't do business that loses money.

If our cooperation goes smoothly, I will support a group of family forces within the Holy Glory Empire that are pro-our.

Furthermore, we must maintain control over at least 70% of the resource-producing regions of the Holy Glory Empire for one hundred years.

"Do you agree?" Zhao Chen stated his conditions.

Saint Cana had anticipated all of this before making this communication.

She nodded: "I can promise you all of these."

But you must promise me that you will not enslave the people of the Holy Spirit race here.”

Zhao Chen spread his hands: "You still don't trust me. You can go and see the Reef Starfield that I've already taken control of."

That place has long been under my control. What it is like now will determine what your Holy Radiant Empire will become in the future.

Saint Cana had also heard of the Reef Starfield, which was one of the reasons why she was willing to trust Zhao Chen.

"So, can we talk about the assistance you can provide me now?"

The Holy Radiant Empire is in a very bad situation right now.

"The Zerg..." Saint Cana said urgently.

Zhao Chen raised his hand, signaling Saint Cana to calm down: "The threat from the Zerg in the Holy Radiance Empire is indeed very significant right now."

However, I think the most urgent task is not dealing with the threat of the Zerg.

Instead, we need to form a united front first.

Saint Cana looked at Zhao Chen with a puzzled expression.

"You have already abandoned three star regions, and the situation in those three star regions is beyond redemption. Even if I send out all of the Dragon Legion now, I cannot save those three star regions."

"I think you, as the commander of the Holy Angel Legion, should be aware of this," Zhao Chen said.

Saint Cana nodded.

"And the interstellar Zerg completely devoured these three star systems, according to our calculations."

It will take at least a month.

This month is precisely the time for us to clean up the remnants within the Holy Radiant Empire.

As I just said, the first thing to do in order to completely deal with the Zerg is to eliminate any lingering concerns.

"Does this mean that while we're fighting on the front lines, there's a bunch of people dragging us down, or that they're taking all the resources with them?" Zhao Chen's words were loaded with meaning.

"You mean... deal with the Imperial Senate and the Saints' family first?" Saint Cana asked.

Zhao Chen nodded: "The Holy Glory Empire is currently afflicted with serious illness."

There are both external and internal injuries.

To cure this illness, one must first heal the internal injuries and regulate the body's constitution.

I'm giving you a month to settle things with the Imperial Senate and the Saints' Family.

I need it in a month.

There is only one voice throughout the entire Holy Glory Empire.

That's your voice, Saint Cana!

Zhao Chen pointed at Saint Cana.

Saint Cana hesitated for a moment.

But Zhao Chen's next sentence completely dispelled her hesitation.

"If you are worried about the Holy Spirits people who are threatened by the Zerg."

Then try to think about it from a different perspective.

As long as you handle the matters concerning the Imperial Senate and the Saints' family as quickly as possible.

"Does that mean we can free up resources to deal with the interstellar Zerg sooner?"

Saint Cana took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Chen firmly: "Okay, let's deal with the Imperial Senate and the Saint Family first."

However, it would be difficult for my Holy Angel Legion to accomplish this alone.

"You don't need to worry about that."

You just need to make a plan and send it to me.

"As long as I get through this, I will provide you with any assistance you need!" Zhao Chen said.

"Okay, I'll start preparing now."

Saint Cana was not willing to waste any more time as she prepared to close the communication window. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She looked at Zhao Chen: "I hope you won't make me regret the decision I've made."

Zhao Chen smiled slightly but did not say anything.

Time will give her a satisfactory answer.

The video call has ended.

"Commander, do you really trust her that much?" Lilith had witnessed the entire process from the side.

It's hard to believe that a short video call could determine the future fate of an empire.

"I have always had great confidence in my ability to judge people."

"Otherwise, how could I have found such a good housekeeper?" Zhao Chen teased, looking at Lilith.

Lilith rolled her eyes at Zhao Chen and went about her business, but when she turned around, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

——————

On the other side, Saint Cana finalized a series of plans in the shortest possible time.

"Miss...you haven't eaten all day," the maid called out as she knocked on the door.

"Put it outside the door," came Saint Cana's voice.

If it weren't for the fact that she could still hear her mistress's voice, the maid would probably have gone to call for help and forced her way into the room.

Inside the room at this moment.

The lighting was dim, with only a little light coming from the desks, from the electronic screens.

Saint Cana looked at the plan she had finalized, a crazy smile spreading across her face.

It's hard to believe that she would actually destroy the empire's political system with her own hands.

But she felt no guilt at all, perhaps because she already believed in her heart that the Imperial Senate was a corrupt and decadent entity.

Saint Cana turned on her communication device and contacted someone.

"Tell the Saints' family that our Holy Angels family agrees to the relocation plan."

However, we must discuss the detailed plan again.

The location... is probably the Imperial Senate.

"Have all families who have agreed to the relocation plan participate."

After the communication was disconnected, Saint Cana, shrouded in darkness, stood like a statue for a long time.
