After ending the call, Clive shook his head: "Li Xin from the Galaxy Defense Group is still too concerned about his reputation."
"What good is fame? Only the power in your hands, only the more galaxies you control, that's real!"
Then, Clive said to his adjutant, "Immediately, use all channels to spread the news that I am communicating with the Galaxy Defense Group."
"I want others to know that war is not the only way to get what you want."
The adjutant quickly retreated and handed the news to the department responsible for propaganda.
Soon, the news spread everywhere.
Duncan and Irving also knew the news.
This scared them both. Not to mention Irving, he already had a replacement on Li Xin's side, and that was Adams.
If Li Xin wants to get him, after getting Irving, there is still Adams to replace him. Even at worst, Benson can be brought out for use.
Benson also came from Lidadas Capital. If Lidadas Capital was divided, this guy would also have legal inheritance rights.
Irving was so nervous, and Duncan was even more nervous.
Irving was just worried that after Duncan knew about it, he would want to run away with the fleet.
Duncan didn't know much about the Galaxy Defense Group, but he knew something about Clive. This guy would do anything to achieve his goals.
Duncan hurriedly found Clive and asked, "Master Clive, do you really want to negotiate with the Galaxy Defense Group?"
"Then what should I do?"
Clive laughed and said, "Look, you're anxious again."
"Our consultations with Galaxy Defense have just begun, and nothing has been finalized yet."
"How did you know this news?"
Duncan said, "Don't worry about how I know this now. What do you want?"
Clive smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you long ago that I want the Xilin Seat and the Tianlu Seat?"
"Look, I'm currently stationed at Xilin, and Tianlu is in the hands of the Galaxy Defense Group. Even for Tianlu, I will do my best to drive the Galaxy Defense Group out."
"By then, without the Fornax, you will be able to easily crush Owen, and I will also help you fight Owen."
Duncan sighed, "I agreed."
Clive immediately burst out laughing and said, "Just agree to it. You know what kind of person I am."
"After we agree on a price, I will still abide by the agreement. I will definitely win this war for you, drive out the Galaxy Defense Group, and beat Owen to pieces before you!"
Duncan felt helpless, but still said: "I hope this day can come sooner."
Clive smiled and said, "Don't worry, this day won't be too far away."
"Let's go, sign the contract and then spread the good news. I believe our fleet's morale will soar after receiving this news!"
Duncan shook his head and sighed, but he had already embarked on a path of no return and had absolutely no other choice.
If he had not signed these humiliating terms with Clive, his fate might have been even worse.
A castrated version of Lidadus is better than having his head sent to the guillotine. The psychic core is used to build a dreadnought.
Soon, Clive and Duncan signed a psychic contract and sold the Xilin Seat, and the Tianlu Seat was almost sold.
After the news spread, it caused an uproar within Lidadas Capital.
Some planets that were originally erratic are now showing off their true colors.
Duncan is a big idiot!
On the other hand, Irving, who received these messages continuously, was extremely panicked.
He now wants to call Li Xin "Dad" like Li Chengjin and Li Chengxi.
Owenfa on the front line couldn't help but dared not continue to lead the fleet forward. Instead, he led the fleet back to Adams' fleet.
He communicated with Adams here and asked Adams' opinion: "What do you think of the current situation? Clive and Duncan signed that kind of agreement, and Clive also communicated with the Galaxy Defense Group."
Adams sighed and said, "Since both of you invited allies, powerful ones at that, this war has become like a spaceship out of control. You and Duncan alone can no longer control its direction."
"Clive and Li Xin, they are both giants to us now. The difference is that one eats in a ferocious way, while the other pays attention to etiquette."
"Duncan has been eaten by the ferocious Clive. Do you think Li Xin, who is so particular about etiquette, is hungry?"
Adams seemed to be standing aside. He patted Owen on the shoulder and said, "If I were you, I would go see Marshal Li Xin of the Galaxy Defense and satisfy his appetite as soon as possible."
"Don't let this giant who still has some civilization learn from Clive, a barbarian."
Owen sighed and said, "You're right!"
Owen then returned to Fornax alone.
Owen found Li Xin and said respectfully to him, "Lord Li Xin, Duncan and Clive of the Oort Cloud Hegemony have signed a strict contract."
Li Xin smiled and said, "I have received this news."
"What do you think?"
Owen said nervously, "Duncan is truly too bold. He's sabotaging Lidadas Capital. Now all the galaxies affiliated with Lidadas Capital, as well as many planetary governors, are speaking out against Duncan."
Li Xin nodded and said, "This is indeed good news. It means that as long as we can withstand Clive's counterattack, Duncan will be dead."
Owen said, "Yes, Lord Li Xin."
He asked hesitantly, "Do we... also need to discuss what the Galaxy Defense Group needs to gain after victory?"
Li Xin looked at Owen and couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He comforted Owen and said, "Don't be nervous. Clive and I haven't reached any agreement to divide Lidadas Capital."
"I'm bringing a fleet as your reinforcements, so I won't choose to harvest you halfway."
"Don't worry."
"The news Clive released was only intended to alienate our relationship and coerce Duncan into ceding the Xilin and Tianlu constellations."
After hearing Li Xin's words, Owen felt much more relieved.
Owen pondered for a long time before saying, "Lord Li Xin, you and the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet have come across the vast galaxy to support me. I cannot bear to see your soldiers shed their blood and sacrifice in vain."
"I am willing to lease the Forge to the Galaxy Defense Corporation for a period of five hundred years."
Li Xin looked at Owen and said, "You and I are allies, so it shouldn't go this far."
Owen said seriously and respectfully, "I have considered it all. Lord Li Xin, please agree to my request."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, as he clearly no longer had this idea.
But to appease Owen, he said, "Then I'll take it."
