Chapter 286 279 Lu Zhao's Explosion Plan (Part 2)
The Governor of the Lvzhao Civilization's joint governing body was extremely anxious at this moment.
"Damn those Earthlings, they indeed have provoked the Teizene civilization, and the Teizenes have indeed come to deal with them. However, we are just outside the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, becoming an excellent stepping stone for them. The Teizenes will certainly not let us go," he said.
The Lvzhao civilization practiced a system of high-degree universal democracy, where the highest leadership was actually composed of three people: the Governor, the Second Governor, and the Third Governor.
The Second Governor suggested, "Why don't we take this opportunity to express our goodwill toward the Teizene civilization and propose to join them in dealing with the Earthlings? After all, we have a grudge against the Earthlings, and the vendetta of the Sixth Defense Fleet should be avenged."
The Third Governor was somewhat more sober-minded, "The Teizenes are known throughout the Galaxy for their brutality and tyranny. How could they possibly choose to cooperate with us? Moreover, they have come a long way, and nearly everywhere they go, they slaughter and eat the local population for entertainment. It's very possible that we'll be their next meal..."
When facing the Teizenes, the Lvzhao people completely lost the arrogance they had when dealing with the Earthlings. The Earthlings had given them a big setback, not to mention the notoriously fierce Teizene civilization of the Galaxy.
The Governor didn't want to take this responsibility, thus he said, "Convene the Grand Council so that the councilors can discuss how we should deal with the current situation."
The Second and Third Governors exchanged glances, both understanding that this was actually just a delay tactic. However, there was no use in delaying now; it was possible that the Teizenes would have already landed on Lvzhao star before the Grand Council could come to a conclusion.
The Governor was not foolish; he directly informed the Lvzhao Fleet not to initiate conflict with the Teizene Fleet, and if gunfire did break out, they were to evade as the main priority, forbidding any proactive shooting at Teizene ships.
This was tantamount to voluntarily castrating their own combat ability, although even if they really engaged in combat, it was unlikely that they would do much damage to the Teizene warships.
Bai Zhongqi nodded but replied, "No rush."
He appeared calm, yet in fact, he could no longer sit still; he stood before the star map, hardly blinking as he watched every second of movement on it.
At the far end of deep space, the Teizene Fleet led by the Sixteenth Prince, Su Beisi, was concluding their brief warp speed journey. The warships formed into neat formations. More astonishingly, the Teizene Fleet lacked an automatic command program; it was as if the pilots from Earth's olden days, who could fly their planes in various orderly formations. Crew members aboard thousands of Teizene vessels, entirely reliant on manual control, could align the fleet into neat arrays.
The efforts expended to achieve this were immense, further confirming why Teizene was considered a formidable military power in the Galaxy.
Lacking any streamlined or simplistic design, Teizene warships were infamous for their ferocity and complexity. Covered with all sorts of weapons that seemed discordantly jumbled, from large to small cannons and other armaments, including part of the ship designed to symbolize valor and impressive claws. When a mass of Teizene warships gathered, the oppressive force was natural, suffocatingly overwhelming.
At Changxiu Base, Xu Lanzhou and a host of Universe Army generals were also watching the same scene. The size of the arriving Teizene warships was mind-boggling. Even a seasoned Iridium Star general like Xu Lanzhou couldn't help feeling unsettled at the sight. Many officers who had transferred to the Universe Army from various nations on Earth were visibly sweating, with some even trembling.
The command center fell into silence, suffocating as it was. No one could find words to say at this moment. Even though the Star Alliance had similarly assembled a vast fleet, it had never been deployed collectively before. The mere sight of the giant, fearsome Teizene warships was enough to instill panic, and when people thought that this was merely the first wave of the Teizene's invasion of the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, any confidence in the war effort plummeted.

Xu Lanzhou was worried, fretful, and wanted to see what was happening in the command center of the Wuyagong, to ascertain the condition of her pillar of strength, the Chancellor of the United Empire.
"Your Majesty, when will you launch this sudden strike?" Xu Lanzhou wondered.
