As a newly established country, the Skerta Empire was obviously lacking in both defense and military power. In the eyes of the Xing Dao, it was a huge piece of meat that they liked to take a bite out of whenever they had time.
This was also the reason why the Crown Prince Sgeta spent a lot of money to train the Mecha Squad. Although there were no results, His Majesty Anta didn't stop it either.
At this moment, the starship that appeared in the sky was getting closer and closer to the ground.
The peculiar design of the starship in the style of the space pirates and the flag of 'Blood Dance' that was waving in the wind could be seen clearly even without binoculars.
His Majesty Anta, who was originally smiling, suddenly had an ugly expression on his face.
The Blood Dance was undoubtedly the Xing Dao organization that the people of the Galaxy hated the most.
Just like its name, the space pirates of this organization committed all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing, and plundering. All of them were wanted criminals in the Star Alliance and were also targets that some small countries were afraid of.
For example, Planet Sgeta had already been robbed by the Blood Dance many times.
In the beginning, the Sgeta Royal Family resisted. They lacked high-end combat power, so they hired bounty hunters to help them. However, they found out later that —
The loss of the commission and the robbery were about the same. Even if they hired bounty hunters, they couldn't completely defend against it.
Thus, the Skerta Empire laid low for a while.
They paid a certain amount of "protection fees" to the Xing Dao every year to seek peace and develop their military power.
Although it was humiliating, it was indeed the best choice at the time.
At first, everything was peaceful and calm on the surface. However, the Blood Dance suddenly asked for more money.
This amount had already exceeded His Majesty Anta's psychological threshold — they actually wanted a battleship!
With the overall strength of the Skerta Empire, they couldn't get a slot or a discount from GAL. They could only buy it at a higher price through other channels.
Wouldn't it be better to use this money to arm his own country?
Thus, even if he knew that it would anger the Blood Dance, His Majesty Anta still refused this unreasonable request.
After all, His Majesty Anta had been secretly developing for so long. He was confident in his country's military power. Even if the Xing Dao attacked again, it shouldn't be as bad as before, right?
However, he didn't expect that the Xing Dao would choose this day to attack when Sgeta was welcoming the Roland Empire's ambassador!
This was simply arrogant and rubbing the Sgeta's face on the ground!
His Majesty Anta angrily gave the order to the army, then looked at his eldest son and said in a deep voice, "Uta, now it's time for you to show your results!"
Wu Ta hurriedly stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "This son accepts the order!"
The battleships at the port had already set off. The shuttles that had just entered the port also took off after receiving the order. They flew towards the Xing Dao's battleship in the sky.
Facing the invading Xing Dao, the soldiers of Planet Sgeta chose to fight without hesitation!
The hundreds of mecha troops under the command of Crown Prince Sgeta also flew into the sky.
The battle was about to start.
In the Starship, Vir and the others who were about to disembark were forced to stay in the ship.
Compared to the unfamiliar Planet Sgeta, the Starship gave them a sense of security. The Roland guards were worried, while the players who wanted to see the world burn were just waiting to watch the show.
This time, there were only five players in the diplomatic team. They were the highest ranked players in the Roland faction reputation leaderboard. They were all experienced players in the closed beta.
Regardless of how loyal they were to Roland, at least the cost of changing factions was much higher than normal players. That was why they were able to gain Xu Sili's trust.
And during this diplomatic mission, the five players had indeed played a significant role in it.
During their occasional conversations, some of their thoughts gave Vir some inspiration. Furthermore, every brave player had a very sharp sense when it came to distinguishing between friend and foe.
With the existence of the Favorability System, it was hard not to be sharp.
At this time, the players also saw the comments of the people of Sgeta about the Roland Empire from the posts on the Starship Forum. They were poor, weak, and came to ask for money again.
It was like jumping on the nerves of the people of Sgeta!
No matter how poor and weak Roland was, it was still the country that they worked so hard to protect. Now that they had land in Roland and built houses in the future, that would be their home in the Star Age.
These short-sighted, ungrateful aliens didn't know what was good for them! If the map of Planet Sgeta was released, they would definitely be the first to conquer it!
It could be said that the people of Sgeta had unknowingly offended the players, causing their Favorability towards them to drop to the lowest point.
Even if there was a chance to change factions in the future, not many players would want to do so.
After all, in order to obtain a residence permit on Planet Sgeta, one had to work hard to mine for a month. On the other hand, in Roland, not to mention the various benefits, just the friendly NPCs were much better than the arrogant people of Sgeta!
"They're fighting, they're fighting! Who do you think will win this battle? "The five players squeezed together and watched the battle through the camera.
"I think they're Xing Dao, right? Do you think the power of a country can't beat a bunch of bandits? "
"That's true."
"I wanted to see them get beaten up, what a pity."
"I think the result is more uncertain. If they weren't confident, would Xing Dao choose to fight the Skerta Empire head on?"
"That makes sense, then let's make a bet!"
While the players outside were watching the show, Vir was talking to His Majesty Anta in the command room of the Starship.
"Princess Vir, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. Don't worry, we'll get rid of these lawless people as soon as possible. You can stay on the ship for now to avoid any accidental injuries."
"Okay, His Majesty Anta."
Vir exchanged a few words with King Anta and quickly ended the call.
She looked at the battle in the sky worriedly. Xiao Qiong stayed beside her and also stared at the battle intently.
This was the first time the young boy came into contact with an interstellar battle. He was shocked and amazed by the battle in the sky, but he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he was filled with fighting spirit.
He would definitely protect his mother and everyone on the spaceship! These bad guys can't hurt them!
At this time, the small robot's voice sounded.
"Warning, warning. According to the analysis of the battle strength of both sides, the Stagg Empire has an 88% chance of losing. This is a great threat to the Starship. Activate the defense system immediately!"
Vir was stunned. Although she was worried about the battle, she was actually leaning towards the Skerta Empire to win.
After all, before she went into hibernation, the Sgeta Empire was already developing well. They couldn't have not improved in 10 years and still be beaten up by the Xing Dao, right?
"Rumble — — Rumble — —"
Amidst the deafening explosions, the Sgeta Empire's mecha team faced the Xing Dao Empire head-on.
"Hahahaha, these lowly Sgeta Empire's people, no wonder they're so tough now. They think that they can beat us just because they have a mecha team?"
Yelena sat in front of the command console and laughed maniacally.
"Brothers, teach them how to operate a mecha. Don't come out and embarrass yourself after learning some basic skills!"
The Xing Dao Empire's mocking laughter sounded in the command channel. "Hehe, let them broaden their horizons!"
Yelena reminded them in the channel, "Don't go overboard. Be careful not to kill anyone from the Sgeta Empire. Otherwise, we won't be able to get any money!"
"Understood. Do you even need to say this?"
Thus, the mecha team that Crown Prince Uta was so proud of was defeated in less than two rounds by the Xing Dao Empire's battle-hardened mecha team.
In the hands of the Xing Dao Empire's mecha team, those big guys were as agile as their own bodies. In front of these warmongers, the mecha team that Crown Prince Uta trained was as weak as a three-year-old child holding a toy weapon.
Yelena looked down at the capital of the Sgeta Empire, her eyes full of greed and cruelty.
Last time, she had been chased away by the Saint Rus Empire's army. When she finally managed to shake them off, her Voyager was already damaged beyond recognition. That time, not only did she not get any benefits from the Fox Empire, she also suffered heavy losses.
However, she heard that although Mu Xingzhou was healed, they had lost their headquarters. She felt much better after hearing that.
In order to make up for this loss, they naturally targeted these small countries whose economic development was good but whose military power could not keep up with the pace.
For example, the Skerta Empire was a sheep that they had been rearing. Once they were fat, they would obediently let them slaughter them.
However, this time, the Skerta Empire did not want to be slaughtered? Naturally, they had to let them see the consequences of resisting. Otherwise, what if other small countries followed suit?
Of course, she was cautious enough to bring half of the Blood Dance Empire's forces. However, even with this half, it was enough to crush the Skerta Empire!
The citizens of the Skerta Empire who were watching the live broadcast were all dumbfounded.
Even if they did not understand war well enough, even if they did not have enough experience, they could see that the Sgeta Empire's army was being suppressed.
Anger and panic spread among the citizens watching the live broadcast.
Originally, there were not many people watching the live broadcast of the welcoming ceremony of the Roland Empire's ambassador. However, in just a few minutes, the number of people watching the live broadcast increased by more than ten times, and it was still increasing.
The person in charge of the live broadcast was so shocked that he forgot to cut off the live broadcast.
His Majesty Anta's expression was extremely ugly. As for the Crown Prince Uta, he watched as the mecha warriors he had painstakingly trained fell one after another. His face was drained of blood, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Although the armies from all over the country were on their way to help, it would take time.
At this rate, by the time the Xing Dao finished killing all the soldiers in the capital and massacring all the citizens, the local armies would not have arrived.
"Father … should we surrender?" asked the Crown Prince Uta in a choked voice.
Although he was arrogant, he still cared about the civilians. According to his experience, if he surrendered as soon as possible, the space pirates would not listen to him when they were too bloodthirsty to listen to him.
However …
Looking at the only black spaceship that was still docked at the port, the Crown Prince Uta could not help but feel aggrieved.
This battle could be considered as a complete joke!
Just as His Majesty Anta was trembling and wanted to escape with the Xing Dao, his communication device suddenly rang.
His Majesty Anta glanced at it and saw that it was Princess Vir of Roland.
He sighed and finally chose to answer the call.
A beautiful silver-haired woman appeared on the screen. Anta smiled bitterly and was about to speak, but the woman on the other side spoke first.
"His Majesty Anta, do you need help?"
He was stunned for a moment and did not understand. "What?"
"The situation is critical now. I should not ask too much, but as the ambassador of the Roland Empire, I still need to ask, do you and the people of Sgeta need help now?"
Anta looked at her, then looked at the sky and nodded subconsciously.
The woman on the other side smiled as if she was relieved of a burden. She said, "Then, please allow my spaceship to use its armed forces in your country."
Looking at her determined eyes, His Majesty Anta could only nod.
Crown Prince Uta on the other side heard everything and could not help but frown. Although he did not think that Roland could help now, he was still quite touched that they were willing to help at this time.
Then, he saw the ordinary-looking black spaceship suddenly start moving. It drove out of the port and headed towards the battlefield.
What could such a run-down and ordinary-looking civilian spaceship do in this battle?
However, to Crown Prince Uta's surprise, the Xing Dao that was originally suppressing the Sgeta army suddenly seemed to have gone crazy. Not only did they not continue to fight, but they also began to retreat.
