In the Luohai galaxy.

After more than a hundred trains were deadlocked for most of the day, the bosses finally held a meeting.

Seng: "It's not a good idea to waste time like this. The star network can't detect clearly in some places. I suggest sending a fleet into the star system for a thorough investigation. What if the energy crystal is hidden?"

Kaiden: "Is it possible that the rebels took the energy crystals away after defeating the official army?"

Terra: "Impossible. The news clearly states that after the official defeat, the warship transporting the energy crystals fled the scene and eventually hid in the Luohai system."

Chen An: "I agree with Sengge's proposal. Regardless of whether it's true or not, we should search the entire galaxy first. If we find nothing, we'll leave."

Ten minutes later, each train dispatched its own reconnaissance ship to conduct a detailed investigation of each section, leaving no corner untouched.

The investigation lasted three hours, and no third-grade energy crystals were found, only first-grade ones.

After summarizing and calculating, the total amount of first-class energy crystals is 700,000 units, which is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

"We can't find any scientific and technological data either. How can we contact the Empire? We'd better ask clearly."

"The news comes from the officials of Heron Star. We must go there to inquire."

The trains returned, but halfway through, Chen An's star network detected several sneaky spaceships hiding in a very distant galaxy, almost at the end of detection.

"My intuition tells me that there's something wrong with those spaceships. Fuyao, jump immediately and intercept them."

Chen An acted decisively. He just told the other trains and jumped over.

Seeing the train suddenly appear, the pilot in the spaceship stopped abruptly in fright.

Chen An ordered: "Bring them in."

There are only three spaceships, and they are just ordinary reconnaissance ships.

They wanted to escape, but were surrounded and forced into a dead end.

More than ten minutes later, three spaceships entered the train and the soldiers inside were taken out for interrogation.

After using various interrogation methods, Chen An obtained important information.

"So the Empire is trying to eliminate us. The Levi Star army will be leaving at any moment. Return!"

The Fuyao train returned to the main force, and Chen An made the interrogation process public, causing unanimous anger among the train conductors.

"Damn, I really thought the Empire was friendly, but it turns out they've been preparing to deal with us all along."

"Go to Levi Star now and kill them all."

"Don't worry, we will return to the Heron Star Region as planned and take control of the planet first. Perhaps we can get more information."

Two hours later, 185 trains surrounded Heron, and the world was in panic.

The military sent a questioning message, but it was directly cut off.

At this time, regardless of whether they were from the military or the rebels, all trains were bombed first.

After the carpet bombing was over, the trains sent soldiers to land and take complete control of the planet.

"As expected, it can be seen from the orders received by the military. They can abandon the resistance and attack us at any time."

"Why? Just because of these millions of frightened soldiers?"

"If they want a landing operation, millions of soldiers would be helpful. The order is clear: their emperor wants trains."

"And to deal with us, they're even willing to give the Heron Star Region to the rebels, as long as the rebels don't interfere. Is the emperor crazy? Did I fuck his ancestors?"

After a long quarrel, Chen An's words put an end to the chaos.

"How about declaring war on the Empire?"

The train conductors present had all killed their way here, and it was unknown how many civilizations they had destroyed.

When they heard Chen An's proposal, they immediately found the right direction.

"Yeah, fuck him."

"Trade? It's better to just trade or rob openly."

"All of our trains will unite to defeat the empire and divide its resources equally."

The blood in the star domain network is boiling. No train conductor is a coward. They are all fearless.

Chen An proposed: "We come from different places and have even been enemies before. If we want to cooperate, we must sign a strict contract. If anyone violates the contract, the other trains will jointly punish them. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No problem, it's safer this way."

"During the validity period of the contract, no internal fighting is allowed. Even the biggest grudges must be temporarily put aside."

No one expected that all the trains would be temporarily united for this reason.

Next, the train conductors signed a cooperation agreement, which Fuyao had drafted not long ago.

In fact, when Chen An discovered that the empire might be plotting a conspiracy, he already had this idea, but the fuse was not enough, and if he brought it up casually, he would be suspected.

But enough is enough now, for the Empire's actions have unleashed the wrath of all trains.

Fei Yi: "Brother, why don't we just leave? It's not good for us to be stuck in the quagmire of war, right?"

Chen An rubbed Fei Yi's little head and praised: "Our little cat has learned to use his brain. Qianqiu, do you know why?"

Qianqiu was currently sitting on top of the train, wiggling her feet, showing her excitement.

"Burn, kill, and loot!"

Chen An laughed heartily: "You make me sound like a bad guy. Feiyi just thinks too much. He should just think simply like Qianqiu about this matter."

Resources are secondary. Chen An wants passengers and technology.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to steal something before leaving the empire, but since the empire gave him the opportunity, he decided to go with the flow.

Fei Yi: "But what if we can't win?"

"Haha, what could be worse than the Death Star Sea? Honestly, after surviving the Death Star Sea, I feel like attacking the Sun Worship Empire is a piece of cake."

At this time, Fuyao reminded that the cooperation contract had been signed.

Chen An opened it and took a look. It had the signatures of all the train captains and the train names, which would be displayed in the most conspicuous position on the star domain network.

"How do we fight? Where do we start? We need a detailed plan."

Tiejian interrupted: "We'll talk about this later. We need a commander-in-chief and can't just do things randomly. I nominate Chen An as the commander-in-chief."

Terra: "I also recommend Chen An."

The train conductors of different alliances will definitely elect their own leaders, causing chaos in the network.

Chen An finally suggested: "There is no need for a general commander. Just select three commanders. This will make combat more convenient."

If Chen An were really to be the commander-in-chief, he might not be able to command the trains of other alliances.

His proposal was unanimously agreed by Senger and Kaiden.

So the three of them became temporary commanders and would fight together.

The details of the war were then discussed.

"If we want to conquer the Empire, we must attack the Empire's home, the Sun-Bai Star System. From here, the route is through the Heron Star Region, the Moro Star Region, and the Sun-Bai Star Region."

"There are currently two strategies. One is to attack along the way and flatten the Levi Star first. The other is to go straight to Huanglong, penetrate into the Sun Worship System, and attack the Sun Worship Star."

The train conductors discussed for a long time and finally decided on the first option.

Because there is a problem, they currently don't know how powerful the Empire's weapons are.

You can first test the true strength of the empire by advancing step by step, but don't be reckless.

After the meeting, all trains left the Heron system and headed towards Levi.
