Losi tapped her fingers on the table. One planet was one thing, but now four Imperial Planets' warships had arrived. They must have ulterior motives.
She quickly issued instructions to various departments, while Pada worriedly asked, "Are they going to attack us?"
Losi typed quickly, replying without looking up: "Most likely, Planet Ifka's strength is only slightly above average among the Imperial Planets. Now that Losi hasn't returned yet, and with so many energy gems consumed, they might think they have an opportunity to take advantage of us."
They might not win if one planet attacked them, but what about four or more?
Planet Ifka is a highly coveted prize, especially since controlling it would allow them to blackmail Loxi. With the right methods, what does it matter if she's the Empress? She'd still have to obediently become their tool.
As Rossi issued her orders, the ministers assumed they were from Pada. However, Pada had indeed handled some urgent matters when the Queen was away for over a year, and she always handled them very well according to her instructions.
Everyone accepted her instructions without question and immediately began to deploy defenses and attacks.
Planet Ifka entered a state of emergency preparedness, with combat ships taking off one after another and soaring into the sky.
Air raid sirens sounded, and people entered air raid shelters one after another under the escort of police.
In reality, given the current level of technology, the probability of being destroyed while hiding in an air-raid shelter is still quite high, although it is much sturdier than an ordinary house.
"All residents of Ifka City have been evacuated, and the defense mother device is ready."
"All residents of Doro City have been evacuated, and the defensive sub-devices are ready."
"All residents of Shaxi City have been evacuated, and defensive sub-devices are ready."
"Cocoa Seasons..."
Reports came one after another, and the entire population of Planet Ifka was evacuated within three hours.
Losi lowered her voice slightly: "Start it."
Her voice reached the ears of the leaders in each city, and everyone pressed the activation device the moment they heard it.
beep--
Streaks of energy rose from the city center into the atmosphere and dissipated.
Five minutes later, the energy in the air spread out completely and came into contact with the energy of other cities, gradually forming a protective shield that completely enveloped Planet Ifka.
This is the most powerful defense on Planet Ifka. This energy shield must be maintained; if it is destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At the same time, the activation of the energy shield also signifies the completion of the final preparation.
The special communication device that Losi wears now allows her to communicate with heads of various departments and cities simultaneously, enabling her to dispatch resources immediately.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar to everyone, but Queen Loxi had indeed not returned yet. They were puzzled but did not raise any questions. This person's command was personally granted by Pada, and they could only obey.
Just as Losi was about to leave the palace, Pada's eyes, filled with a myriad of emotions, condensed into a single sentence: "Be careful, take care of yourself."
“Alright.” Losi had already changed into her black and white fitted combat uniform. The moment she stepped out of the palace, the servants outside paused for a moment, then knelt on one knee in salute: “Your Majesty…”
As their voices faded, Losi disappeared into the horizon.
The attendants slowly rose to their feet and looked up at the sky: "When did Her Majesty the Empress return?"
The group exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
Losi went directly to the outer reaches of space, where all of Eveka's combat ships were stationed outside, protecting the planet behind them.
She is small and difficult to spot in space unless you get close, and since she is standing at the back of the spaceship, no one has noticed her yet.
The four nearby planets also entered a state of emergency preparedness and dispatched many spaceships to guard their respective planets.
The more distant planets were the first to detect the enemy and immediately relayed the information.
"35 Tier 1 combat ships, 270 Tier 2 combat ships, 510 Tier 3 combat ships, and roughly estimated Tier 4 and 5 ships exceed 1,500."
Upon receiving this unfortunate news, Losi frowned. A Tier 1 warship was equivalent to 500 Tier 4 warships, while his side only had 5 Tier 1 warships, 15 Tier 2 warships, 120 Tier 3 warships, and 2000 Tier 4 and 5 warships. The gap was too large.
This is even with only a small portion of each of those planets being affected.
While attacking Ifka is important, it's also necessary to reserve a large portion of your own planet to protect it from any underhanded attacks.
Half an hour later, everyone finally saw what those spaceships looked like.
All the Ab-series imperial stars, except for A1, A2, b2, and b3, have arrived.
This also includes C1 and C2, totaling 18 imperial stars.
The two sides were locked in a standoff, with the other side surrounding the entire planet Ifka but not immediately engaging in combat.
Through special equipment, the two sides connected their signals, and Losi received their message.
I am communicating with B1 on behalf of the 18 Imperial Planets. If we give up resistance, we will not destroy a single inch of Planet Ifka.
Losi spoke to her supervisor on the communication device: "Ask them what their purpose is."
We sent it over quickly and received their reply.
Planet Ifka, including all its subordinate planets, is shared by 18 imperial planets, including Empress Loxi. If you do not submit, we will fight until the day you are willing to submit.
This is like taking food, taking things, and even serving the pot! Losi had her people relay a message: "Aren't you afraid Losi will come back and cause trouble for you?"
18th Emperor Star: We control the lives of trillions of you. If she dares to fight, everyone will die because of her.
Based on Loxi's actions after taking power, the people of the 18th Imperial Star believed that she was a saint and would definitely be soft-hearted and unwilling to sacrifice so many lives.
Losi couldn't help but sneer. What did she mean by dying because of her? They were the ones from the 18th Imperial Star who were clamoring about harming and killing people.
Before she could reply, another message came in.
Surrender! You can't win. If you surrender, not a single one of you will die. Your empress won't be back for at least another two weeks. There's no hope.
"I don't have to die for now," the messenger thought to himself.
Losi didn't say anything, but simply told her men to stall them for time.
The person in charge was sweating profusely, pondering what to say in response.
Losi, who was hiding behind the spaceship, took out a stone.
"Let's go to the biggest one first."
Stone: "OK, watch my spatial jump!"
The universe is vast and empty. Although the two spaceships may not seem far apart, it would still take Losi several minutes to travel at her fastest speed, even with her latest upgrade.
Short-distance spatial jumps are a piece of cake for Stone; he could jump continuously for an hour without any problem.
Then the people on the Ifka warship saw that the enemy's ships, which had been so arrogant, were slowly falling or drifting one after another, as if they had lost power and were being carried away by the flow of space.
