Warrant Officer Yu Lian watched as the frail Kaitai general collapsed to the ground, and for a moment, everything before his eyes lost its sense of reality. He felt he should perhaps be joyful, relieved, and happy, for this was, after all, the only famous Kaitai general in later generations. It was thanks to his planning and personal command on the battlefield that the small Kaitai Kingdom managed to carve out a substantial and delicious piece of meat from the corpse of the Blue Star Commonwealth.

However, he truly couldn't feel any obvious joy.

Is this what they mean by 'imperial ambitions and grand achievements, shattered dreams turning to dust'? Warrant Officer Yu Lian felt the wheels of history Rolling over him, and over Osen Blackfin, who would never again be recorded in history or bear the nickname 'Nine-Tailed Leopard.'

...However, he truly lived up to his name. This Kaitai general, who would never be known as a brilliant strategist, still managed to outwit the Earthlings with his life in his final moments.

Tsk, if the mastermind behind this was truly Charlen Lionmane, then so be it. But now that it has fallen to a 'mere' Lieutenant General of the Operations Department, I'm afraid it will cause further complications, won't it?

Warrant Officer Yu Lian didn't feel like talking for a moment, and in the vast bridge, with over a thousand people Present, there was not a sound. But then, breaking the silence, was Charlen Lionmane, who had endured countless blows.

He dragged his heavily injured body, raging furiously, letting blood seep from beneath his bandages. His face was completely twisted, monstrous and terrifying, like the Abyssal Space demons of legend. He roared and howled madly, his bloodshot eyes devoid of any remaining reason.

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill all the Earthlings! I want them torn to shreds! Not one left! I want to personally drain their blood! Gnaw on their flesh! Fire! Fire! What are you standing around for?!"

The Kaitai people looked at each other, most of them hesitating. This group of fanatical militarists (meow) and nationalists (woo) were indeed an old-fashioned species. The outcome of an honor duel, in their culture, could even be considered sacred and inviolable.

However, a considerable number of soldiers still picked up their guns and swords. Many more fell into a berserk state similar to Prince Charlen, preparing to fight regardless of the consequences.

"Yo! Going back on your word? Then let's keep fighting!" Major Nani whistled and put his shield back up.

Colonel Chaimen then asked McMillan, "Did you get it? Did you upload it?"

"Don't worry, I got it from four angles, including that guy's insane antics. It's all been transmitted. Hyperion and lexington have both confirmed receipt. Haha, it's possible even Gibraltar Starport has received it," the Lieutenant Colonel chuckled.

"Very good, then... let's turn the world upside down! We might even be able to seize another Dreadnought and hang a prince's head on the flagpole!" Colonel Chaimen burst into laughter.

He was truly fearless. Although their side only had over two hundred people here, and the enemy had a continuous stream of reinforcements, the enemy's spiritual energy users only had the heavily injured Crimson Mane left, while their three spiritual energy users were at full strength, and they also had a 'unfathomable' Warrant Officer Yu Lian! Who's afraid of whom if it really comes to a fight? At the very least, Charlen Lionmane's life must end here.

Still want to fight? Warrant Officer Yu Lian shook his head helplessly, unhooked the grenade launcher and missile pod that had run out of ammunition, and with a sweep of his hand, used his spiritual energy to pull Shalun Baiwan's sword into his grasp, then slowly lowered his machine gun.

He had already made up his mind that once the fighting began, he would rush over to decapitate Charlen Lionmane immediately, then start cutting down the enemy's high-ranking officers from top to bottom. If a few more leaders died, even the most agitated blood would cool down.

The Earthlings were fearless, while the Kaitai people were either agitated, panicked, sorrowful, or despairing, like all the various states of the world. And so, a brutal, meat-grinder-like battle was about to erupt.

However, at this very moment, not far from the fleet, in the space tightly bordering the Asteroid Belt, a swirling spatial reaction suddenly rippled. Following that, within the vortex, faint thunder began to ripple and split, and a golden giant shadow revealed its formidable presence within the shadows, like a sun unsealed from the void's restraint.

"Front, high-quality reaction ahead!" the dedicated radar operator on the bridge shouted.

Immediately after, all communication devices within the Steel Crown Prince were taken over by an external signal with a 'zzzz' sound. Within the Dreadnought, a majestic voice then echoed:

"Cease fire! Cease fire! In the name of the Supreme Emperor of the Galactic Empire, in the name of the defenders of galactic order, I urge both sides to cease fire immediately! Any act that violates the 'Interstellar Peace Convention' is a wicked act that tramples upon the hard-won peace and stable order of the galaxy, and will be considered an enemy by the Holy Galactic Empire! Both sides, please cease fire immediately!"

This time, even the Kaitai people, who were on the verge of berserking, felt as if a large basin of ice water had been poured over their heads, chilling both body and mind. They looked around in confusion, and then saw the massive warship that had emerged from the galactic vortex outside the bridge's panoramic window.

It was a winged golden spaceship, flowing with a magnificent and noble luster, like the Dawn Angel itself. That luster became even more beautiful under the sunlight, and at the moment it leaped out of the spatial channel, it truly seemed as if another sun had appeared.

She began to advance with a serene and elegant posture, her thrusters tracing clear, water-like trails in the dark universe behind her.

She was about to enter the battlefield, yet she still moved like a noble princess dressed for an outing, stepping lightly and gracefully, slowly advancing. The human and Kaitai fleets, currently fighting, seemed like a group of brawling bandits before her.

Or rather, she was a lion... no, a giant dragon draped in golden Dawn Angel scales, elegantly dancing its wings, looking down upon the hyenas tearing at each other.

She certainly had such qualifications. Because her existence, in this universe, represented invincibility, the ultimate artificial creation possessed only by the two poles.

"A Ti-Titan? From the Empire?" Colonel Chaimen was stunned.

"She's so beautiful..." Major Nani exclaimed.

The Titan, Dawn Angel. With a mass of 8.5 million tons, designed and built by the Royal Hand of Glory Shipyard, she is the 4th ship of the Majestic Angel-class Titan. She officially began sea trials in Galactic Commonwealth Year 829, which means this giant warship, destined for great future achievements, was still in her sea trial period.

She was also that person's flagship. That person who would be at the center of the future tumultuous era.

The Earthlings had decided to stop. They knew that the moment this Titan appeared, there was no longer any point in continuing the fight. But then, they heard Charlen Lionmane roaring again: "Do it! Quickly! Can't you hear me?!"

He must have gone completely mad. Even the Empire's appearance couldn't calm him down. Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, the deranged prince simply snatched a gun from a nearby Guardian and fired at Warrant Officer Yu Lian. His action was like a signal, causing the surrounding Kaitai people, who also had little capacity for thought left, to instinctively follow suit.

Though the Earthlings were a beat slow, they naturally wouldn't just take the hits. They immediately drew their guns and retaliated. And so, bullets flew and flesh splattered once again on the bridge.

Meaningless, foolish battle! Warrant Officer Yu Lian was enraged. He raised his blaster and fired a burst of energy beams in the direction of Crimson Mane, instantly knocking down several Kaitai soldiers, but the real target had already been pulled by his Guardians behind a makeshift cover—a pile of tables and sofas. Even so, that guy was still shouting, "Kill them! Kill them!"

Warrant Officer Yu Lian spat, and used a spiritual energy pulse to pull down a chandelier, throwing it towards Crimson Mane's direction, but it was blocked by a spiritual energy coming from the opposite direction. Looking closely, it was indeed Crimson Mane, the only Kaitai spiritual energy user on the Steel Crown Prince. He was certainly not lightly injured, but now he could only barely manage to strike, and his expression at this moment must have been quite something.

Major Nani and Colonel Chaimen, however, had already charged, pouncing towards Crimson Mane's direction, one after the other.

They knew very well that to stop this meaningless battle immediately, they had to quickly eliminate the culprit.

Oh, you two big fools, your shells haven't run out yet, why not just fire two shots over there? Warrant Officer Yu Lian shook his head. To get these idealist idiots, who preferred close-quarters combat with knives, back on track, it truly was a long and arduous journey!

Of course, the charge of two combat-oriented spiritual energy users was not something ordinary people could withstand. Crimson Mane's Guardians were scattered, and Major Nani, in just a few steps, broke through to the cover, raising his battle-axe and shouting, "Prince Charlen, you will be held responsible for everything here!"

But at that very moment, a halo suddenly unfolded there, and a crimson Emblem Machine inlaid with Imperial dragon patterns flashed forth from within, appearing abruptly on the scene like a god descending from heaven. It deftly parried Major Nani's battle-axe with a horizontal sweep of its long spear, then with a push and a smash, directly sent the Major, along with his Emblem Machine, flying backward.

"Clang!" Major Nani flew nearly twenty meters, crashing to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The crimson Emblem Machine bowed slightly, its long spear in hand shifting and extending, smoothly changing its stance, directly thrusting towards Colonel Chaimen, who had just charged up. The spear tip was like a hunting viper, swift yet precise, passing directly through the Colonel's guard, lightly tapping his abdomen, and then flicking upward.

The Colonel's Emblem Machine was sent flying backward as if it had been hit head-on by a Titan, crashing into Major Nani.

The crimson Emblem Machine's technique was refined and agile, with no redundant movements whatsoever. It didn't even use any spiritual energy skills, nor did the light spear in its hand 'unsheathe,' yet it instantly knocked down a Two Rings and a Three Rings spiritual energy user.

No one Present doubted that if it wished, it could have taken both their lives in an instant.

"Earthlings! We have already warned you to cease fire! Why do you continue to attack those who have laid down their weapons! Do you have no sense of honor at all?!" To everyone's surprise, behind the red armor, the voice was that of a young woman.

Warrant Officer Yu Lian, however, was not surprised at all. Just by looking at the dizzying red color of the Emblem Machine, he could confirm the identity of the newcomer, and naturally knew it was 'she' and not 'he'.

He looked at his two elder brothers who had been knocked to the ground, confirming that their lives were not in danger. This red-armored female knight, as rumored, was indeed a very virtuous person.

However...

Warrant Officer Yu Lian shifted the chandelier's direction and slammed it directly towards the red-armored female knight.

"Boom!" The chandelier shattered against a spiritual energy shield about a meter away from the female knight. She looked in Warrant Officer Yu Lian's direction, the two gems on her ornate faceplate, replacing her eyes, seemed to be emitting a light of astonishment.

"Apologize!" Warrant Officer Yu Lian raised his sword and pointed it at the other party, shouting.
