In just a few hours, a breaking news spread to every corner of the streets and alleys in Midland.
Midzhilanda's strongest trump card, the Golden Fleet, was destroyed!
At first, people thought it was some kind of joke, or that the anchor had taken the wrong medicine and broadcast fake news, but soon, with the disclosure of the video and media reports, more and more people learned the truth of the matter.
The Space-Time Administration sent a fleet to the outside world to arrest a criminal, but it invaded the territory of another mysterious force without permission. After the warning was ineffective, the army of that mysterious force attacked the Space-Time Administration fleet. The attacked Space-Time Administration fleet was defeated and retreated, while seeking support.
As more and more dimensional warships joined in, the battle gradually expanded. Eventually, the Space-Time Administration had to send out the Golden Fleet to rescue those dimensional fleets trapped on the battlefield.
However... they were wiped out in one fell swoop by the other party.
Although after defeating the Golden Fleet, the enemy did not launch another attack on the Space-Time Administration, so the other remaining dimensional warships were able to escape the battlefield, however... things did not end there.
Because just when these remaining warships finally passed through the time and space tunnel and returned to Midland, they were horrified to find that the fleet of the mysterious force had appeared not far behind them!
And now, this mysterious fleet is heading towards Midland's capital - Mid!
"What should I do now?!"
At this moment, the Space Administration was in a state of panic. Ever since the news of the destruction of the Golden Fleet came, the top leaders of the Space Administration had already fallen into the abyss of despair and fear. When they learned that the mysterious fleet had followed their remaining warships to Midland, these top leaders were even more at a loss.
"We should immediately send representatives to communicate with the other side and choose to make peace!"
"Ask for peace? What a joke! They defeated our golden fleet, which is a clear act of hostility! Now that this fleet dares to invade Midzhilanda, they are our enemies, and we should fight to the death!"
"Even the Golden Fleet is no match for them, what can we use to resist?"
Upon hearing this, one of the senior executives slammed the table in anger.
"Haven't we already learned the specific situation from the admiral of the Fifth Fleet? The other side has issued a warning, but those idiots in the Fifth Fleet didn't take it seriously at all, and still tried to force their way into the other side's territory! What's the difference between this and an invasion?! Now that you can't win the fight, what else do you want if you don't ask for peace? Do you want to sacrifice the entire Midzhilanda?!"
Hearing this, several of the top brass who had been shouting the loudest were now speechless. After all, they had already heard about what happened from the survivors of the Fifth Fleet. Indeed, it was only natural that you had forcibly entered the territory of an unknown force and ignored their warnings, so it was considered an invasion...
Now, you've stirred up a hornet's nest, haven't you?
The only thing that made everyone feel relieved was that after entering Midzhilanda, the fleet went straight to their capital and had no intention of attacking other planets and territories. This meant that at least the other party... should not be aiming to invade Midzhilanda.
Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't choose to do so. He didn't have a good impression of the Space Administration, but he knew a few people from the animation. Considering that it was the protagonist's residence after all, Fang Zheng didn't plan to occupy territory here. Otherwise, Fang Zheng only needed to release a swarm of insects, and it would only be a matter of time before they occupied the entire Mide.
But now... for the sake of Vivio, Einhart, Corona and other little girls, I'd better let you go.
But the lessons that should be taught still need to be taught.
Sitting in the chair, looking at the Milky Way and the starry sky outside the window, Fang Zheng yawned. Around the fleet, warships from the Space Administration's Dimensional Fleet could be seen wandering around, but these warships were not stupid. After the previous battle, they did not dare to act on their own. Apart from following the fleet from a distance, they did not dare to do anything else.
"Report to the Captain."
However, at this moment, Iona, who was steering the warship forward, suddenly spoke.
"A communication request has been detected from the dimensional battleship Asra. The applicant is Lindy Hallowin."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng changed his position in the chair, thought for a moment, and gave an answer.
"Please bring it in."
"yes."
Soon, the screen in front of him flashed, and then, Lindy's face appeared in front of Fang Zheng. Seeing Fang Zheng sitting on the chair, Lindy was slightly surprised, and then quickly calmed down again.
"It is you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"Hello, Ms. Lindy."
Fang Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and nodded to Lindy.
"I never thought we would see each other again so soon."
"I didn't expect that..."
At this point, Lindy's mood was also extremely complicated. In fact, after learning that the dimensional fleet of the Space Administration was attacked, Lindy thought that this might be the work of Fang Zheng, after all, he had warned her at the beginning. But Lindy did not expect that Fang Zheng would play so big, directly escalating a local conflict to the level of war, and even defeating the Golden Fleet in one fell swoop!
Now even Lindy herself doesn't know what to do, but...she's going to give it a try anyway.
"I admit that the Space-Time Administration was at fault this time, but Master Fang Zheng, aren't you going too far with what you're doing now?"
"Excessive?"
Hearing Lindy's protest, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Ms. Lindy, I remember I told you before that if you dare to enter the Tiandao Palace's territory without permission again, you will bear the consequences. I believe that you should have conveyed my meaning to you, but even so, your Fifth Fleet of the Space Administration still tried to forcibly invade our sphere of influence and completely ignored our repeated warnings. So... do you think our Tiandao Palace is so easy to bully?"
"That's not what I meant..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's cold question, Lindy was speechless for a moment. The whole thing, in the final analysis, was because the Space-Time Administration was too arrogant and did not take the Tiandao Palace seriously, which eventually brought them into trouble.
"I will not attack civilians. After all, they are innocent."
Fang Zheng stared at Lindy, and after a moment he continued.
"But I think the high-ranking officials of Meade need to learn some lessons. You must know that this universe does not belong to you. Just because you call yourself the Space-Time Administration, you cannot manage anyone... You must know that in this universe, there are beings that are far more powerful than you. If you don't know how to position yourself correctly, then I don't mind teaching you the correct way to communicate."
"Wait, Fang..."
Hearing this, Lindy's face suddenly changed. However, when she opened her mouth to say something, she saw Fang Zheng waving his hand, and the next moment, the connection between the two sides was severed.
For a moment, the entire command room was dead silent.
"Captain...what should we do now?"
After a long while, Krono asked helplessly, and Lindy sighed deeply.
"Let's go back to Mead first... In any case, I hope the Administration Headquarters and the Council won't cause any more trouble!"
Watching the Asura turn around and leave, Fang Zheng snorted.
Just as he said to Lindy, he needed to teach Mead a lesson, but Fang Zheng knew that people are very forgetful. Sometimes a simple lesson can't change anything.
So he also has his own plans.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
“Swish!”
The next moment, he disappeared from the battleship and appeared in a strange space.
There were all kinds of panels everywhere, and on the largest platform, there were three oval nutrient chambers, in which three brains could be seen suspended in nutrient solution, bubbling from time to time. In front of these three brains, a long-haired woman was standing on the platform, tapping something from time to time. When she saw Fang Zheng suddenly appear, the long-haired woman was immediately startled.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
However, just as the woman finished her words, Fang Zheng suddenly swung his hand, and the next moment the huge black sword pierced through the long-haired woman's body, nailing her to the ground. Then bright red flames suddenly erupted, and accompanied by screams, the long-haired woman was completely burned into a pile of charcoal.
"Who are you……?"
However, at this moment, an old voice sounded. Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng glanced at the three brains in front of him.
"You are the three old guys who secretly control the Council and the Spacetime Administration, right? Well, it seems that I have found the right place... Let me introduce myself. I am Fang Zheng, the supreme ruler of Tiandao Palace. I am here to negotiate with the Midzhilanda Spacetime Administration for its unauthorized invasion of our Tiandao Palace."
"negotiation?"
At this moment, another voice sounded, with a hint of urgency and uneasiness.
"If you mean..."
"Oh, but this has nothing to do with you."
However, Fang Zheng was obviously too lazy to listen to what the three brains had to say and just waved his hand.
"The so-called negotiation is just a formality. To be honest, I personally have no interest in Midzhilanda, but I am worried that you will have some bad thoughts about our Tiandao Palace, so I plan to strike first..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his hands.
"Please, Midzhilanda, become a vassal territory of our Tiandao Palace."
"What did you say?"
"This is simply wishful thinking!"
Hearing this, the old voice suddenly became angry.
"We will never agree to that!"
"No."
However, facing the rebuttal of the three brains, Fang Zheng shook his head.
"You will agree..."
As Fang Zheng spoke, several amoebas emerged from his shadow, and then sneaked into the nutrient tank through the pipes. The next moment, these amoebas tightly wrapped around the brain suspended in the nutrient tank.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"From now on, you belong to the Swarm."
