Seeing the strange light appearing in front of him, Lin Tao's expression suddenly became strange.
The core sphere of Zhe was right beside Lin Tao, and he said, "That's strange. Of the ten ships, only six escaped, and the remaining four remained."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tao quickly asked Zeng to enlarge the image.
Zhe was very calm. He took over the detector of the nearby starry sky and quickly magnified the opponent's remaining four giant starry sky ships.
The four giant starry sky warships showed no signs of fighting. Instead, they gathered together and sent out a surrender signal.
Lin Tao frowned slightly and signaled the high-speed ship to follow behind. He then took fifty Extreme Wind Phoenixes and sent a public signal to the four giant starry sky ships.
"Is it Lin Tao's forces?"
The other party sent a message back quickly.
"I am Lin Tao." Lin Tao responded.
"You...you are Lin Tao himself?"
Several panicked voices were heard on the communication line: "Are you Lord Lin Tao? No, are you the head of the Lin Tao family?"
"Who are you?" Lin Tao asked back.
"We are the ships under the command of the Liu family." A middle-aged captain responded loudly from the opposite side. His voice suppressed the voices of others and made them quiet down.
"We have been in the starry sky and we all know that the powerful forces have betrayed the Interstellar Federation. We feel very sorry about this, but we are small and have never been able to escape the control of the Liu family."
"Master Lin Tao, we are willing to return to the Interstellar Federation. I wonder if your Lin Tao faction is willing to accept us?"
It turned out to be the captain who took the opportunity to leave the Liu family.
Lin Tao understood immediately, but he didn't dare to completely trust them now. After all, the eight major families had now left the Interstellar Federation, and he didn't know whether the other party's move was a self-torture tactic.
"Lin Tao, should we accept them?" The core ball of Zhe kept flashing light on the side.
Lin Tao frowned, pondered for a while, and then called Zheng Tuo.
"Have you reached the Liu family's territory?" Zheng Tuo was shocked when he heard this.
Lin Tao had not told Zheng Tuo the destination of this trip before, so he was very surprised that Lin Tao entered the Liu family's territory. However, when he heard that the other party's ships had surrendered on the spot, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Lin Tao, accept them." Zheng Tuo said after a while. After a pause, he quickly explained: "Lin Tao, the eight powerful families' separation from the Interstellar Federation is the idea of the powerful families. Not everyone is willing to follow them. As far as I know, in order to prevent people inside the planet from knowing about this, the powerful families have blocked the news from their starry sky. They can't even see the news before the Grand Speaker."
"Those captains must be those who were unwilling to defect with the powerful forces, but because the powerful forces were so large, they couldn't find a way to leave at once. Now that they have a chance, they didn't leave with the other party through the hyperspace channel."
"Lin Tao, what we need to do now is to recruit them, let them inform the people on the planet of the rebellion of the powerful forces, and then let them broadcast the news of the Grand Speaker. In this way, we can not only recruit these fleets, but also quickly recruit those planets together."
After listening to Zheng Tuo's words, Lin Tao nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he felt that Zheng Tuo's growth in politics seemed to be faster than his.
Perhaps, Zheng Tuo is really a person suitable for political pursuits.
After Zheng Tuo expressed his words to the captains of the four giant starry sky ships, the other party agreed on the spot. Using the advantages of the giant starry sky ships, they quickly pacified the interior of the planet.
Fortunately, since the Canglin Galaxy is also a planet with a low level of development, there are not many Liu family members left on the planet. In less than two days, the three planets announced that they were out of the control of the Liu family and were officially assigned to the Mingyuan Star forces.
As for the four ships, they will continue to stay here and wait for Zheng Tuo's follow-up arrangements.
After resolving the issue of the Canglin Galaxy, Lin Tao once again controlled the high-speed ship and headed for the next solar system. Starting from Mingyuan Star, it would take a total of three solar systems to reach the destination.
Less than half a day after Lin Tao appeared in the Canglin Galaxy, the news was transmitted back to the Liujia Galaxy.
Capital Building, conference room.
"Lin Tao appears." Liu Xuming shot out a light curtain from his watch and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Liu Zhenglin was once again ordered to strengthen the training of the human brain mecha, and Liu Zhengqi was already sitting in this conference room, next to Liu Xuming.
Hearing Lin Tao's name, Liu Zhengqi's expression remained normal, but his eyes flashed with a barely perceptible light, and his right fist was clenched into a ball.
"Lin Tao, has he finally attacked us?"
"So, he has received instructions from the Grand Speaker to officially take back those inhabited planets from our powerful forces?"
"A giant spaceship, plus a bunch of extreme wind phoenixes. If he continues like this, won't we lose all the inhabited planets soon?"
…
A group of senior executives discussed anxiously.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet." Liu Xuming raised his hand and stopped everyone, restoring the silence in the conference room. He turned around and looked at Liu Zhengqi: "Zhengqi, tell me, what action should we take now?"
Swish! The eyes of the senior executives fell on Liu Zhengqi. They knew in their hearts that Liu Xuming wanted to test Liu Zhengqi's ability.
Liu Zhengqi pondered for a moment, then used his watch to shoot out a light curtain. The content of the light curtain was a star map centered on Mingyuan Star.
"Besides our Liu family, there are several other wealthy families' planets near Mingyuan Star. He chose our Liu family as the first target of attack, most likely because of the incident on Mingyuan Star."
"Perhaps, after Lin Tao snatched Ming Yuanxing from us, he felt that among the many wealthy families, our Liu family was a soft persimmon and was easier to control."
After Liu Zhengqi finished speaking, his eyes swept around the senior executives present. Seeing that everyone's faces instantly turned red and they looked furious, he continued, "The Canglin Galaxy is closest to Mingyuan Star, so it will be attacked first. This should be within our expectations."
Everyone nodded, but they were treated as a soft persimmon, and they were immediately furious. Although the Liu family could not be ranked among the big wealthy families, it was ranked first among the small wealthy families.
He ignored the other wealthy families and specifically picked on the Liu family, which showed that he looked down on them.
Thinking of this, all the senior executives, even Liu Xuming, were filled with resentment towards Liu Xiantai, the original person in charge of Mingyuanxing. If Mingyuanxing had not been lost in his hands, how could their Liu family have ended up in such a state?
"If Lin Tao wants to destroy our Liu family, they will definitely move in this direction and head towards our Liu family star system."
As Liu Zhengqi spoke, he operated his watch and the light curtain synchronously formed a route.
"However, Mingyuan Star is too weak now. Perhaps their goal is not to attack our Liu Family Star System directly, but to gradually erode our territory and plunder our resources to produce more mechas."
"So, there are two other possibilities for their next route."
As he spoke, Liu Zhengqi formed routes No. 2 and No. 3 on the light curtain. However, no matter which route it was, the final destination was still the Liu Family Galaxy.
This woman is indeed suitable to be the future head of the Liu family.
Liu Xuming nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied with Liu Zhengqi's performance. The Liu family executives present also nodded, and were equally impressed in their hearts.
"Then what action should we take next?" Liu Xuming asked.
"We need to wait now." Liu Zhengqi said in a deep voice.
"wait?"
"Why wait?"
"If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Lin Tao will devour our planet completely."
…
The Liu family's top executives couldn't help but talk about it.
Seeing the meeting room become chaotic, Liu Zhengqi frowned and raised her hand on the spot, wanting to quiet everyone down. However, her position in the Liu family had not yet been stabilized, and she was unable to completely stop the voices of the senior executives present.
Seeing this, Liu Xuming frowned slightly and took action on the spot to restore silence to the meeting room.
Unable to fully control all the senior executives, Liu Zhengqi looked a little unhappy, but she did not express it. Instead, she continued, "We need to wait for a while to see Lin Tao's next destination before we can formulate a battle plan."
"Lin Tao's ship has the Extreme Wind Phoenix. Last time, they relied on the Extreme Wind Phoenix to capture two thousand spaceships of our powerful forces in one fell swoop. If we make a hasty move now, we will only suffer the same fate, so we need to wait now."
I see.
The senior executives all understood, and Liu Xuming nodded: "Immediately give orders. No matter which solar system Lin Tao appears in, once he is found, all fleets will immediately use the hyperspace channel to return."
Although the Starry Sky Giant Ship will be sunk by the mecha of Lin Tao's forces, at this stage, only the Starry Sky Giant Ship has the ability to travel through time and space, and losing too many Starry Sky Giant Ships will also affect the subsequent battles.
Time flies and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
The high-speed ship has ultra-long-range shuttle capabilities, coupled with its own super-fast speed, it appeared in the next solar system belonging to the Liu family - the Mingwang system - in just a week.
In the Mingwang system, there is only one inhabited planet.
However, according to data, this is an inhabited planet with relatively rich resources. Not only that, because this solar system has thirteen planets, four of which are pure resource planets, it can be regarded as a resource-level solar system.
Therefore, this inhabited planet is not only highly developed, but also has an astonishing number of defense fleets, reaching nearly two hundred ships.
These ships were originally used to prevent space pirates in normal times.
Although there was an attack on the capital planet, the number of fleets in this solar system has not changed much and still remains at around 200 ships, which shows how much importance the Liu family attaches to this star system.
"Two hundred spaceships may be able to test the shadow chip."
Lin Tao looked at the image captured by Zeng.
