Chapter 344 335 The Final Ultimatum of Chicken Ribs

The representatives from the Order Association dropped their ultimatum and then strode off with an air of arrogance.

But Bai Zhongqi didn't care in the least. Instead, he smiled at Xu Lanzhou and said, "Even their ultimatum is seven Lingge Star days long; these people from the Order Association really aren't resolute at all."

Xu Lanzhou also had little respect for these civilization consortia that lacked discernment, saying, "Such an interstellar civilization organization is simply incapable of achieving anything truly great. Your Majesty, what you said earlier was spot on; these cowards are simply avoiding combat with the Teizene Empire."

Zero also approached Bai Zhongqi's side and asked, "Your Majesty, should we launch an attack on the Order Association's fleet first?"

Bai Zhongqi shook his finger and said, "There's no need for that, if my guess is right, the Order Association won't make a move against us."

Xu Lanzhou agreed with Bai Zhongqi's view and said, "The second wave of the Teizene Fleet led by the Eleventh Prince of Teizene is preparing to come over as well. The Order Association must have this intelligence, so picking a fight with us now and possibly suffering losses would put them at a disadvantage when facing Teizene Fleet later on."

Zero chuckled and added, "These brainless fools, although they have fourteen hundred warships, they come from different civilizations and can hardly be unified into a single fighting force. The second wave of Teizene Fleet consists of more than two thousand warships. Facing the odds against more ships with poorer quality, how can they fight?"

Caesar actually considered taking on the Star Alliance directly, but other civilizations' representatives within the Order Association were filled with doubts. Although they did not think the Order Association would lose, taking on a civilization that also opposed Teizene and even suffering losses in the process seemed like a bad deal. Moreover, this place was an important forward base on Teizene Empire's trade routes; ultimately, the people of Teizene would make a move, and then the Earth people would not be able to hold it either.

A deadlock arose between the Star Alliance and the Order Association, but at this critical juncture, some others began to get restless. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

As Teizene was defeated and the Star Alliance took over Lingge Star, followed by an even larger fleet arriving and taking control of the outer space around Lingge Star—at least that is how some on Lingge Star saw it. After the Star Alliance pushed for Lingge Star to join the Alliance, the division of the spoils was not particularly even, especially for countries like Severi that had followed Teizene, and the terms were somewhat disadvantageous.

Even though the Star Alliance had not yet exerted any direct influence on Lingge Star's local politics, some politicians on Lingge Star believed it was only a matter of time. So, some of them began to make their moves, thinking themselves clever.

On the third day of the ultimatum period, Zero reported to Bai Zhongqi, "We've intercepted over sixty radio wave communications, all attempts by different political forces on Lingge Star to get in touch with the people of the Order Association. Not only do these include groups we have dealt with recently, but even individuals from the new regime of the Yifu Federal Republic."

Bai Zhongqi wasn't surprised, "They're trying to hedge their bets to avoid a no-win situation. At least in their eyes, the Order Association's power is overwhelming, and if we truly engage with the Order Association, the first to suffer would be the people of Lingge Star."

Zero laughed sarcastically, "Even if the Order Association defeated us, could these Lingge people go back to their old lives? The Order Association claims not to interfere with planets that haven't entered interstellar civilization, but who knows what they'll choose to do. Lingge Star has merely exchanged one master for another."
