Although the third-generation ships of the vassal state slightly slowed down the fleet's subspace speed.

However, under Li Xin's control, they still caught up with the fleet of the Yelong Empire by relying on the faster subspace navigation speed.

It took Li Xin a total of nine months from the beginning of the voyage to the final catch-up with the fleet of the Yelong Empire.

If it weren't for the delay of the vassal state's fleet, Li should have caught up with the Yelong Empire's fleet in the seventh month.

But in starship warfare, of course, the greater your advantage, the less damage you will suffer from your opponent.

Compared with adding 1,500 more warships to the battle, spending two more months is within an acceptable range.

In particular, the Yelong Empire also has fourth-generation warships, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Waite C galaxy.

This is an ordinary star system that was originally unknown.

This is the same as most star systems in the universe. A medium-sized star, a few scattered stars, and a large number of meteorites and asteroids make up this star system.

At this time, the Second Fang of the Venom Family of the Yelong Empire and the Third Hard Scale Battle Group had already stopped here.

They became nervous ever since they discovered that the Galactic Defense Group's fleet was chasing them.

As the distance between the two sides grew closer, the tension grew.

Finally, when they were about to be caught up, Haywood ordered the fleet to jump out of the subspace and stay in the Waite C galaxy.

Fleets of technological civilizations can also fight in the subspace, but this kind of fighting will only lead to one situation.

That is, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will become weaker.

If the fleets of both sides were to engage in a war in the real universe, they could use void shields as a defense, diverting many of the enemy's attacks into the subspace.

However, in the subspace, the void shield is useless, and at this time you can only rely on the ship's armor to defend against enemy attacks.

This is equivalent to losing an important means of defense out of thin air. No matter how thick the armor is, it will suffer losses when attacked.

The Yelong Empire has only 2,500 ships in its fleet here, while the Galaxy Defense's pursuing fleet has nearly 5,600 to 5,700 ships. Without the help of the Void Shield, the Yelong Empire's losses will only be greater.

After the Yelong Empire's fleet entered the Waite C galaxy, all fleets quickly began maintenance to restore the warships, crew members, and soldiers to their best condition.

At the same time, all weapons were opened and prepared for battle.

A few days after they arrived at the Waite C galaxy, in the starry sky millions of kilometers away from the Yelong Empire fleet.

The real universe here began to ripple like water waves, and then dazzling subspace flashes began to appear in this area.

“Buzz!!”

Accompanied by dazzling light, a huge fleet sailed out from the warp.

Leading the way was a Xingyuan battlecruiser, followed by numerous human warships.

The steel armor reflects the cold light of metal under the shining starlight.

Ships emerged from the subspace one after another, each of them armed to the teeth.

All artillery units have been adjusted and aimed at the Yelong Empire fleet.

Sitting on the mechanical throne inside the flagship, Li Xin gave the order: "All ships immediately begin self-inspection and prepare for battle!"

"Yes! Grand Marshal!"

Orders were issued layer by layer, and almost all ships had become accustomed to these tasks.

The fleets of the Yelong Empire and the Galaxy Defense Group are about five million kilometers apart.

Using a sub-light speed engine to travel this distance, it would take at least a dozen hours to officially reach the engagement area.

The fleet of the Yelong Empire began to sail towards the fleet of the Galactic Defense Group, but since the Galactic Defense Group was not prepared to engage in battle, it was almost impossible to catch up.

The Galactic Defense Group's fleet was sailing in the opposite direction while repairing the losses suffered during the jump into the subspace.

After several days of maintenance, all ships were repaired and all soldiers and crew members were in the best combat condition.

The Galactic Defense fleet stopped sailing and turned to attack the Yelong Empire fleet.

Communications between the two sides were also established at the same time.

A holographic projection of Heywood Venom appeared in Lai Lixin's flagship.

Staring at Li Xin with a snake-like head, Heywood Venom said, "Cousin of the Galaxy Defense Group! I am Heywood Venom, the commander of this fleet."

"There is no hatred between our Yelong Empire and your Galaxy Defense Group, and there is no need for a conflict between the two sides!"

"Why is your fleet chasing ours?"

Looking at Heywood Venom who was speaking righteously, Li Xin smiled and said, "Cousins ​​of the Yelong Empire, there is really no need for conflict between us."

"But before that, you threatened our fleet at the border of the Tany Empire!"

"It's hindering our war of conquest against the Tany Empire!"

"This star region has been the territory of the Galactic Defense Group since ancient times. You have hindered the unification of our Galactic Defense Group, so you must pay the price."

Haywood Venom's pupils widened. He never expected Li Xin to be so shameless.

Haywood Venom tried hard to suppress his anger. He said, "Our fleet has already evacuated. I am also willing to apologize to the Galaxy Defense Corporation on behalf of the Yeron Empire!"

"From now on, we will definitely not interfere with your Galaxy Defense Group's unification cause!"

"Let us go."

Haywood Venom kept a very low profile, he had no choice but to be humble.

The fleet force he has now is definitely no match for the Galaxy Defense Group. The situation is really too pressing.

Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "I can let you go, but I have one condition."

Heywood Venom's heart trembled. He frowned and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "On behalf of the Yelong Empire, you will sign a treaty with the Galaxy Defense to establish friendly bilateral relations!"

"Conclude a non-aggression pact. As for the timeframe, thirty years!"

As soon as Heywood Venom heard the condition, he knew there was absolutely no chance.

Now the fleets of the royal family and the Rattle Family are on the way. Not to mention that he has no right to sign such a treaty, even if he has it, he has signed this treaty.

Their Venom family will also be reprimanded by the royal family and even deprived of their life planet as punishment.

Haywood Venom frowned and said, "Grand Marshal of the Galactic Defense Group, you should know that I cannot sign such a treaty. At least the Emperor of the Empire has such power!"

"Why don't we wait here together? I will convince the Emperor of our Yelong Empire!"
