The Empire Army's fleet was assembled within a week. The largest fleet in history was eyeing the Domini Galaxy. At the same time, the Valsalrians who received the news were terrified.
Although the Valsalrian Army had been very arrogant recently, they were actually just putting on a brave front. Now that the Valsalrian Army's economy was on the verge of collapse, they were struggling to maintain the stability of their ruling areas. They did not even hesitate to implement military control on some planets, and food was distributed according to rations.
Therefore, when the empire's fleet assembled a large number of troops on the border, the Valsalrians panicked. They could not afford to fight a war now.
"Damn it! Damn it! Why did the empire have to attack at this time! "
"Hmph! Of course they're attacking at this time. Isn't our economy collapsing because of them? "
"Damn that Zhu Bide. Why didn't our assassination team have any effect at all?"
"Hmph! That guy is so timid that he refuses to leave the palace all day long. The palace is even more heavily guarded. He hired a large number of masters to protect him in the palace because he's rich. Our assassination team couldn't even get close to him before they were all killed. "
"Sigh, it seems that the problem can only be solved if a hidden master intervenes."
"But don't hidden masters have a rule that they can't participate in worldly disputes?"
"Look at the situation now! If they don't intervene, we'll all be finished! The Valsalrians' foundation will be completely destroyed! "
"Sigh! Okay, let's report this to the Elders … "
"In addition to reporting to the Elders, we can also go back and look for the Holy Arrival Messengers. Aren't they our allies? It's time to let them do something. "
"Good idea! Let's go look for them! "
…
Soon, Aino appeared in the embassy of the Holy Arrival Messengers on Mengsk as a representative.
"Dear Mr. Ambassador, I'm sure you already know the predicament we are facing now. We need your help." This time, Aino's attitude was very humble. He had to ask for help.
"Well, I already know the movements of the empire's army. I've also sent a message to our home planet. I believe that reinforcements will arrive soon." Velon continued to play his role as an ambassador.
According to the Development Team's plan, the Resistance Army would receive a large amount of aid to balance the strength of the Empire Army.
"Thank you so much. May I know when your assistance will arrive?" Aino asked.
"Very soon! You don't have to worry about that. " In fact, he looked down on Aino and the current Valsalrian Army's higher-ups. Due to the solidification of the social hierarchy, the Valsalrian Army's higher-ups were extremely corrupt. Otherwise, the Trade Federation, which was once suppressed by them, would not have been able to defeat the Valsalrian Army in such a short time after transforming into a cosmic empire.
"Thank you so much. We will always remember your support and help." At this moment, apart from saying some polite words, Aino could not offer any benefits as a reward.
"Alright, if you have the time for such pleasantries, why don't you go back and reorganize your economy? Don't collapse before the enemy even arrives!" Velon said coldly.
"Thank you for your reminder. We are studying this problem," Aino said.
In fact, the Valsalrian Army's current miserable state was not only due to the damage caused by Aurelia, but also due to the devastating economic war of the cosmic empire.
Originally, the Valsalrian Army was founded on the military. Everything they did was to serve the army, so the people's livelihood and economic system were very fragile.
However, under the tough military control, although this economic system was fragile, it was still maintained. The entire Valsalrian Army was still able to live a good life.
The main reason why they were able to maintain this fragile economic system was that the Trade Federation was still in a state of disunity at that time. The few big bosses had their own way of doing things and competed with each other, so they could not care about the Valsalrian Army at all.
After the establishment of the cosmic empire, the first emperor, Rivendell, was an extremely cautious and conservative man. He was more inclined to defend the throne under his butt, so he kept his eyes on the ministers of the empire, especially Jiang Fei, the grand marshal.
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the Valsalrian Army. As a result, the Valsalrian Army's higher-ups were completely unaware of the fragility of their economic system.
It was not until Rivendell was killed by Jiang Fei that Zhu Bide succeeded the throne and became the second emperor of the empire.
After Zhu Bide ascended the throne, Jiang Fei gave him considerable authority. It could be said that other than the army, Zhu Bide was the emperor of the empire. He personally issued all the laws and administrative policies of the entire cosmic empire.
Zhu Bide was indeed a capable man, and he was very self-aware. There was a tacit understanding between him and Jiang Fei. He would not try to meddle in the affairs of the army, and Jiang Fei would not interfere with his internal affairs.
With absolute executive power, Zhu Bide was also an ambitious monarch. Although he could not personally lead a fleet to conquer the Valsalrian Army, he could destroy the Valsalrian Army's economic system through economic warfare, causing the Valsalrian Army's economy to fall into a state of collapse.
When people did not have enough to eat, no matter how powerful your army was, you would not be far from destruction.
This was the case for the Valsalrian Army today. Under Zhu Bide's economic suppression, their fragile economic system soon collapsed. A large number of civilian factories closed down, and people lost their jobs.
When civilians lost their jobs, they lost their source of income. Without income, they also lost their purchasing power. If they could not sell their goods, their businesses would suffer losses and close down. Then, more people would lose their jobs. Under this vicious cycle, the entire Valsalrian Army was almost in a state of paralysis.
At the same time, the unemployed were also a very scary group. Although people lost their jobs and income, they still had to eat. If they could not even eat, then these people would do anything.
At first, it was a demonstration to express their dissatisfaction with the Valsalrian Army's higher-ups, asking them to solve the current problems and revitalize the economy.
Later, all kinds of violence and vandalism increased. After all, when people did not have enough to eat, many people would choose to take risks.
