Chapter 52 Imperial Envoy
After 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the Xuefeng successfully wiped out the Imperial Fleet.
What surprised the captains of the Xuanwu Federation was that the Xuefeng, which had suffered so much artillery fire, still had its outer armor intact after the battle.
"What kind of magical warship is this?" Liu Jun stared at the Xuefeng infatuatedly, his saliva already soaking his clothes.
"Under such concentrated artillery fire, nothing happened?" Liu Jun's adjutant also shouted in surprise.
"Oh my God... where is he going?"
Before Liu Jun had time to establish contact with the Xuefeng, Qi Yiming ordered the navigator to drive the Xuefeng into the jump acceleration state.
Qi Yiming's purpose was very clear. Since he had killed the invading enemy, the next thing to do was to deal with the inner ghost.
At this time, in the Song family's territory, Song Xingang, the head of the Song family, was receiving a special envoy from the Empire.
"Mr. Envoy, you must say a few good words for our Song family in front of His Majesty..."
"Of course...Of course..."
Everyone seemed to have no interest in the ongoing war, and no one mentioned any news about the war.
Only two soldiers in imperial uniforms standing in the corner of the cocktail party were whispering and exchanging news about the war.
"I heard that Major General Hongshan will be promoted to Lieutenant General after completing this mission..." The person who spoke said to his companion next to him with envy.
"What strong enemies can there be in the Xuanwu Star Region? Hongshan is just here to gild himself... In order to be promoted to Lieutenant General, he gave a lot of benefits to the big men in the military department to get the position of commander-in-chief of this expedition fleet." Another person in military uniform made a contemptuous expression when mentioning Hongshan.
"These things are not something that a small captain like us can control. Let's do a good job of escorting this time."
The two raised their glasses to signal each other, and then drank it all.
But what they didn't expect was that Hongshan had died in the battle not long ago, and his body might not be found. After all, the energy generated by the explosion of his ship was too strong, and Hongshan's body might have been vaporized.
All the information on the battlefield had not yet been transmitted to the Song family under Qi Yiming's planning, so the atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm.
The head of the Song family was glad that he did not follow those idiots to get involved in the federation, but wisely joined the Wanluo Empire.
The imperial envoy came here under the escort of a battlecruiser. It can only be said that the empire really went to great lengths to demonstrate its national strength.
While the empire and the Turing Republic were still at war, they actually pulled back such an important combat force as the battlecruiser to perform this seemingly unimportant task.
Song Xingang looked at the battlecruiser with mixed feelings.
The good thing was that he really didn't expect the Wanluo Empire to have such a strong strength that a battlecruiser was sent to escort an ordinary envoy.
What worries him is that some of the conditions he proposed may not be met. Given the current situation, it is a blessing to be able to keep his own territory.
Just when Song Xingang was toasting with the imperial envoy, Qi Yiming's Xuefeng had already appeared on the outer defense line of the Song family.
What surprised Qi Yiming was that the Song family, which was in a state of war, did not increase its combat readiness level.
Several warships on the outer defense line were still safely moored at the temporary berths on the defense line.
Qi Yiming would certainly not be polite. It would be a waste not to eat such meat that was delivered to his mouth.
After easily taking down the first line of defense, Qi Yiming was too lazy to do the demolition work. Because he had seen the fleet of the Xuanwu Federation follow him to the territory of the Song family.
"Liu Jun, the demolition task is handed over to you... Make sure to demolish the giant buildings on the defense line."
"No problem..." At this time, Liu Jun had been completely convinced by Qi Yiming's combat power. Now even if Qi Yiming asked him to be the vanguard to attack the second defense line of the Song family, Liu Jun would rush up without hesitation.
Without waiting for Liu Jun to flatter him, Qi Yiming's Xuefeng entered the jump mode again.
The Song family's response mechanism was not bad. Although the first line of defense did not last even 10 minutes, it still gave the second line of defense a certain amount of preparation time.
The news that the territory was suddenly attacked had already reached Song Xingang when Qi Yiming appeared outside the first line of defense.
Song Xingang's facial expression froze at first, and then he looked at the envoy from the Wanluo Empire with pleading eyes.
The envoy smiled and comforted Song Xingang: "Mr. Song, don't worry, this must be the remnant fleet of the Federation making a dying struggle... I guess the Empire's fleet should be not far behind them."
"Mr. Envoy... There is no trace of the Empire's fleet behind them..." The messenger did not give the envoy any face at all.
The envoy's mouth twitched at first, then he continued calmly: "Ah... don't worry, I'll ask someone to call the Imperial Fleet for help..."
"Mr. Envoy... we lost contact with the Imperial Fleet half an hour ago, and it hasn't been restored yet!" The messenger didn't seem to care about the face of the Imperial Envoy at all.
The imperial envoy reacted strongly this time. He stared at the messenger and snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Don't I still have my escort warship? That's a battlecruiser!"
"Mr. Envoy..." The messenger was about to speak.
"Enough..." The imperial envoy interrupted him angrily: "Can you tell me all the news at once? Don't I have any face?"
Song Xingang hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "My subordinates have never seen the world, please don't be angry, Mr. Envoy!"
"Hmph..." The imperial envoy snorted coldly, then smiled at the head of the Song family: "The battlecruiser that escorted me has made great achievements in the war with the Turing Federation. If it hadn't returned to the rear to rest this time, I would have licked my face to beg His Majesty. How could these heroes of the empire come to your remote place?"
The envoy seemed very polite on the surface, but his words were soft and sharp.
Song Xingang is now in a dilemma and can only bite the bullet and deal with the imperial envoy, hoping that he can order the battlecruiser to set sail to intercept the fleet of the Xuanwu Federation.
It's not that Song Xingang doesn't want to send his own warships, but in the battle of the siege of the Wang family a few weeks ago, almost all of the main battleships of their Song family were lost. After the battle, only a few of the more than 20 warships returned, and they were all injured.
"Don't worry, this battlecruiser has set a brilliant record of sinking 25 enemy ships in a single battle. It's not easy to deal with a few monkey-version warships, but the conditions you proposed..." The envoy's face changed again, looking at Song Xingang sinisterly.
Song Xingang made up his mind: "As long as we can keep the territory of my Song family, we will agree to any conditions."
"Don't worry, the empire doesn't care about this small territory of the Song family. As long as Mr. Song surrenders to my Wanluo Empire on behalf of the Xuanwu Star Region, the empire will fully support Mr. Song in other matters."
Song Xingang's face was gloomy. The condition he proposed at the beginning was that the Xuanwu Star Region would be attached to the empire as a vassal state, and the empire would send troops to help him unify the Xuanwu Star Region, but now he has to surrender to the empire.
Song Xingang wanted to refuse, but he had no choice in the current situation. In order for the Song family to keep their territory, he could only pinch his nose and accept it.
"This is a wise move. Giving away the benefits that have not been obtained, Mr. Song has not suffered any loss..." The special envoy said with a smile and waved to the captain of the battlecruiser to come over.
"Captain Zhang... There are some small troubles that need you to deal with now." The special envoy briefly introduced the current situation to Captain Zhang. Zhang Kunyu stood at attention and saluted and quickly left the banquet hall.
