"Didn't we tell them to leave long ago? Why are they here? Who told them to return?"
The Kunde Race leader stood up in shock and anger.
At this moment, all the upper echelons present could no longer sit still. They felt that the situation was completely out of their control.
The migration fleet was the last hope of the Kunde Race, and it was their weakness. The reason why they dared to start a war in their territory was because they had sent all their members away. Now that they saw their members return, all the upper echelons began to panic.
Buzz!
Right at this moment, a virtual screen suddenly popped up on the conference table, and a figure wearing the uniform of a high-ranking dynasty officer appeared.
The gazes of all the upper echelons of the Kunde Race were attracted over.
This figure stood with his hands behind his back, and his voice was old but powerful.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Tarrokov, the Marshal of the Red Empire's exploration army. I am the one who has been fighting with all of you."
Seeing this scene, everyone present understood what was going on.
They had originally thought that the enemy had only eavesdropped on their intelligence, but it seemed that it was not as simple as that. The enemy was actually able to casually send out messages, and there was an eighty percent chance that they had already taken control of their network.
This was the worst possible situation, and everyone's minds went blank.
Tarrokov looked at the Kunde Race leader with a calm expression. "All of your intelligence is in our hands. We have already cut off the communication between your command center and the outside world. The reports that you have received during this period of time were all fabricated by us. In fact, less than a tenth of your troops are still alive, and they have all been wiped out.
Don't have any unrealistic hopes. We have already seen through your plan and completed the final assault a few days ago. You no longer have any strength to resist. "
This heart-wrenching speech crushed the confidence of most of the upper echelons present. All of them were dumbfounded and slumped onto their chairs.
"Y-you …" The Kunde Race leader's body trembled.
Tarrokov did not even blink as he calmly said, "Right now, I represent the Red Empire to give you an ultimatum. Our long-range psionic weapons have already been deployed and locked onto your migration fleet. I will give you five minutes to consider. If you choose to resist … exterminate your race! If you try to contact the migration fleet … exterminate your race! Cut off the quantum network … exterminate your race! If you do not reply after five minutes … exterminate your race! As long as you choose to surrender and unload all your weapons, we promise not to open fire. Your fate will be decided by you. "
His tone was as calm as when he went out to buy groceries in the morning. For a senior commander of the Imperium like him, wiping out an entire race would not even blink his eyes.
However, in the ears of the upper echelons of the Kunde Race, every word was filled with cruelty.
The dynasty secretly recalled the migration fleet of the Kunde Race, and another goal was to destroy the fighting spirit of the core fleet of the Kunde Race. When the survival of the entire race was placed on the other end of the scale, the enemy would always crumble. This was the experience of the dynasty.
Compared to the exploration era, the three Universal Civilizations no longer slaughtered civilians who could not resist. Otherwise, they would not have given them a choice. Their confidence in being lenient came from their overwhelming strength.
After issuing the ultimatum, Tarrokov's figure disappeared, and the screen turned into a five-minute countdown.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"We shouldn't have started the war! Look at what we've done!! "
As the seconds ticked by, most of the upper echelons present broke down in despair.
It was not that they did not consider the situation that they were in, but before the butcher's knife fell, they all held some hope in their hearts.
In front of them was a chaotic meeting room, and all the upper echelons had lost their cool. Looking at this scene, the Kunde Race leader sat on his seat and slowly said, "There's no hope. Surrender."
"You finally know how to surrender? What were you doing earlier? " The upper echelons that respected the leader all went all out and pointed at him. "If not for your foolishness and radicalism, would we have fallen to such a state?"
"That's right! If we didn't start the war from the start and fled, we wouldn't have fallen into such a state! "
"That's right. This is all because of your wrong decision! You're the sinner of our race! "
Looking at these upper echelons who had more or less sucked up to him venting their anger, the Kunde Race leader sneered.
Those who ran were always the smartest.
Not only did they have to give up their home, but they also had to run far away and not cause trouble for the invaders. How generous was that?
The entire race was forced to leave their homeland. Everyone was confused and panicked. If we ran away without fighting, the dignity of our race would be shattered, and it would be impossible to rebuild it again … If we could kill enough enemies or sacrifice enough soldiers, perhaps our race would be able to get rid of this decadent mentality of a loser. We would be motivated to unite against a common enemy and usher in a new golden era. Unfortunately …
In the end, he did not say anything.
…
The war ended with the Kunde Race surrendering. It did not take long, and it only took three to four months from start to end.
Compared to his previous life, the Red Empire had taken less than half the time to end the war.
The source of this change was Han Xiao's contribution. Providing the coordinates allowed the dynasty to save the effort of searching for the enemy's base, and controlling the enemy's quantum network allowed him to crush the enemy in terms of intelligence. These two important reasons greatly accelerated the progress of the war.
The change in the storyline was extremely obvious. In the records of his previous life, the Kunde Race had caused quite a bit of trouble for the dynasty. However, with Han Xiao's help, the Kunde Race did not cause any trouble for the dynasty. They were completely suppressed by the dynasty from start to end, unable to retaliate at all.
The dynasty took over the remaining fleet of the Kunde Race and sent everyone on their return journey.

"It's finally over. The efficiency is pretty high." Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
Although he did not personally participate in the battle this time, he still managed to get a Perfect Mission Rating with the help of the intel.
The rewards were not bad. Although the Experience could not be compared to the Beyond Grade A Boss mission, the players would not be able to complete the Beyond Grade A Challenge Mission. The 4,000,000,000 Experience was already a huge reward for the players in the later versions. Han Xiao was not picky about his food. He was mainly slacking this time, and the rewards were basically free.
The four Random Rewards were definitely good stuff. He would continue to store them and wait for an auspicious day to do ten consecutive draws.
7,500 Dynasty Contribution Points was quite generous. The Kunde Race was only a native civilization and did not pose much of a threat to the dynasty. Han Xiao guessed that a portion of these Contribution Points came from him sharing the information about the Spacetime Splicing Technology.
Although he had already learned all the Ultimate Knowledges, the Dynasty Contribution Points were still very useful. He could exchange them for all sorts of rare resources or military support from the dynasty. Furthermore, if a Beyond Grade A was willing to serve the army one day, he might even have to spend Contribution Points to exchange for Ultimate Knowledges of other systems.
Ultimate Knowledges were monopolized by the advanced civilizations. Without a specific reason, Beyond Grade As were not allowed to exchange for Ultimate Knowledges of other systems, even if they had sufficient Contribution Points. Using Ultimate Knowledges to attract talents for their own organizations was equivalent to stealing business from the advanced civilizations. Thus, the Beyond Grade A allies had a tacit understanding and would not share Ultimate Knowledges with each other.
Only with Beyond Grade A officers under their command would they have the authority to exchange for Ultimate Knowledges. Of course, such exceptions were extremely rare. After all, most Beyond Grade As were not willing to submit to others.
Han Xiao had a deep impression of the [Civilization Destroyer] milestone. In the explored universe, all civilizations at the Star System level and above were protected by the 'Peace Treaty', and there would almost never be a war that could wipe out an entire race. Usually, only players from the Chaotic Evil Faction would have the opportunity to activate this milestone.
The effect was not bad. When wearing the [Civilization Destroyer] milestone, all types of damage would be increased by six percent, attack range would be increased by twenty-five percent, and there would be an aura of deterrence.
However, the price to pay to obtain this milestone was extremely high. One would have to participate in or even initiate a war of life and death with a Star System civilization. This opportunity was extremely rare, and there was a high chance of being hunted after the war.
Being in the Lawful Faction, the chances of obtaining this milestone were even lower. However, the good thing was that one would not be hunted, which gave legitimacy to one's evil deeds.
Not having any Political Assets was within Han Xiao's expectations. The weight of the Kunde Race was still a little lacking, and it was not important to the dynasty whether they were eliminated or not. However, it did increase the favorability of the upper echelons of the dynasty.
Apart from Old Tower and the Ruler, a large number of future dynasty generals, including Teny, had their favorability increased as a reward for fighting alongside him.
The final Dungeon, [Kunde Race War], was like the secret war and the Germinal Organization. It was a series, and the various battles could be cut out to form individual Dungeon Crystals.
Because the Kunde Race was a group of younger brothers, only the battle of the fleet would be considered as the difficulty. Thus, the difficulty level would not be high, but the rewards would not be low.
After calculating the rewards, he closed the interface and let out a sigh of relief.
Perfect Mechanical Sense, Spacetime Splicing, and mission rewards. The rewards this time were extremely bountiful. The Kunde Race was the only obstacle. After dealing with them, the second exploration phase would be able to proceed smoothly … Han Xiaoxin pondered.
Because of his interference, the outcome of the Kunde Race had changed.
In his previous life, because the dynasty had spent a lot of time exploring, the Kunde Race's migration fleet had enough time to move too far away, and the Kunde Race army was not caught off guard like now.
As they did not understand the map, the dynasty was delayed for a long time by the strategic depth of the Kunde Race's territory, which gave the Kunde Race more time to study the dynasty's strategy. As a result, when the dynasty infiltrated the Kunde Race's command system, the Kunde Race was not kept in the dark. Instead, they discovered some suspicious points and led the battle into an even more troublesome game.
Thus, the Red Empire did not choose to persuade them to surrender but directly wiped out the Kunde Race.
Because the infiltration had been seen through, and the long journey had given them more time to react, a portion of the immigrant fleets had managed to escape, unlike now where almost all of them had been caught by the dynasty.
However, this was not a good thing. What Han Xiao did not know was that the new home chosen by the Kunde Race was still within the Flickering World. After all, they did not have the concept of a Star Field. Following the exploration, the dynasty discovered the new home of the Kunde Race. At that time, the dynasty had already placed great importance on the Spacetime Splicing Technology. Thus, the new home of the Kunde Race became dust in the universe, and they were secretly executed.
Now, fate had reached a new fork in the road.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and entered the quantum network, projecting toward Planet Lighthouse. He planned to see how the dynasty was going to deal with the Kunde Race this time.
…
In the Planet Lighthouse Commander's office, two figures were seated and standing. The one standing was Tarrokov, and the one seated was Uranril's projection.
The war had ended, and the dynasty had captured a large batch of Kunde Race mantis shrimps. What they had to worry about now was how to deal with them. Whether to kill them or rear them, the Ruler and the upper echelons had to make the decision.
Tarrokov was currently reporting to Uranril and brought up the issue of the captives.
"… The escort team is estimated to arrive at Planet Lighthouse in seven days. Your Excellency, how should we deal with this batch of people?"
Uranril crossed her arms and said with a deep voice, "The upper echelons have already discussed this. Some of them are in favor of exterminating the Kunde Race, while others feel that we should rear them and educate them. The final decision has not been made yet. Do you have any suggestions?"
Tarrokov stroked his beard and said, "The war went very smoothly. Since the enemy has chosen to surrender, I feel that there is no need to kill them. We can choose a few planets in the dynasty's territory for them to settle down in and guard them strictly. We will not allow them to enter the galactic society for the time being.
If the results are good, we can turn them into our vassal civilization. At that time, we will release the restrictions on them entering the galactic society. "
During the war, he was decisive and would not blink no matter how many enemies he killed. However, after winning, he was not bloodthirsty.
Uranril pondered and said, "If that's the case, we will have to divide their thoughts and require their leader to do something for us."
"That's right. I will be preparing to interrogate their leader from afar later. By the way, our people have conducted a comprehensive check on the upper echelons of the Kunde Race and discovered that there are some abnormalities in their mental state. It seems like they have been affected by the Psychic Current, which magnified the areas in their brains that control their anger and impulsiveness."
Upon hearing that, a cold light flashed through Uranril's eyes.
"Ah, it's the doing of those Supercluster Civilizations again. Not only did they throw away their technology, but they also secretly released the Psychic Current. If not, they might not have been so aggressive. Who was the one most affected by the Psychic Current? Their leader, right?"
"Oh, you guessed wrong. The Kunde Race leader was the least affected."
Uranril shook her head helplessly and said, "That's rather interesting. Is this the difference in logic between different species again?"
Beep beep!
Right at this moment, the communicator on the table rang. Tarrokov pressed on it, and his secretary's voice sounded.
"Chief commander, Black Star is online. Should we connect to his remote projection?"
"Why is he here at this time?" Tarrokov shook his head and said, "I am currently reporting to the Ruler. Get him to wait online for a while …"
At this moment, Uranril waved her hands and said, "There's no need. Let him in. He is not an outsider."
"Alright."
Since the Ruler did not mind, Tarrokov did not mind.
Very quickly, Han Xiao's remote projection appeared in the room, and he immediately saw Uranril.
"Your Excellency, you're here as well."
"Black Star, I heard about your contributions to this war. You have done well." Uranril nodded with gratification.
"I only did some insignificant work."
Han Xiao said humbly and looked at the two of them. "What are the two of you talking about?"
"Nothing much. We are just discussing how to deal with the Kunde Race. There is no conclusion for the time being …"
Uranril repeated the conversation and casually asked, "Black Star, do you have any suggestions?"
"I don't have any opinions. I am also here to ask how the dynasty is going to deal with it."
Han Xiao raised his brows.
"Not having any opinions is also an opinion."
Uranril narrowed her eyes and did not say anything.
She then turned around and gestured for Tarrokov to continue reporting, expressing that she did not mind Han Xiao listening in.
After listening to the report, Uranril gave the two of them a few words of encouragement before going offline to meet Li Wanji.
After sending the Ruler away, Tarrokov turned around and looked at Han Xiao with a smile.
"I am going to interrogate the upper echelons of the Kunde Race. Since you are here, shall we go together?"
"Oh, I am very busy."
Han Xiao scratched his chin and said half-jokingly, "But since you invited me, I will reluctantly go with you."
He was interested in leaders who were at the end of their rope and felt that he might be able to trigger a special mission, just like the Dark-star leader in the past.
