Chapter 1445: The Decision of the Canaan Star Alliance

Yingxin tilted her head and asked.

"Brother Guilliman? What's wrong? Your complexion isn't very good. Are you too tired from work? Try this dessert; it's sweet, and you'll feel better after eating it."

She lifted the lid of the dish, which contained a bowl of mushy dessert. It was light purple in color, with an uneven surface and some granular things in it.

The mush was sprinkled with a layer of something unrecognizable, with black, yellow, and green bits.

Guilliman looked at the bowl of mush, then looked at Yingxin.

"Xiaoxiner, what is this?"

Yingxin said.

"Purple sweet potato and taro ball sago soup. Even though it looks like mush, it tastes great! Try it!" She held the bowl and offered it forward.

Guilliman took a step back and saw that Curze was already bent over with laughter, one hand covering his mouth and the other bracing against the wall.

Well played, Curze, gloating, are we?

Guilliman smiled and said to Yingxin.

"Oh, right, Xiaoxiner, I think I saw where Curze is."

"Where?"

Guilliman stepped aside, clearing the corridor behind him.

"Over there, at the corner, someone just passed by, it looks like Curze."

Curze's smile froze on his face, and he sprang out from the corner.

"Guilliman! You..."

Guilliman looked at him.

"Curze, so you're here. My little sister is looking for you."

Curze opened his mouth, unable to speak.

He looked at Guilliman, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seriously, brother? Where is your integrity?

After handing Curze over to Yingxin, Guilliman walked toward the end of the corridor.

"I still have things to do, you two chat."

Guilliman ignored Curze's gaze and strode away.

Yingxin's voice came from behind.

"Brother Curze, hurry and try it! I spent a long time making it!"

Curze's voice trembled.

"Xiaoxiner, I... I'm not feeling well today, I can't eat sweets."

"What a coincidence, this time my dessert is spicy."

"... Alright, I'll try it."

Guilliman walked past the corner, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He had almost been caught by Yingxin just now; the stuff in that bowl didn't smell right at all.

Forgive me, Brother Curze, a strategic retreat is the right move.

Guilliman quickened his pace; he still had many things to do.

The mobilization of the Fengqi, the progress of the Orc farms, and the inspection of the cannery.

Canaan Star Alliance Capital Star, Supreme Council Chamber.

The atmosphere in the chamber was oppressive now; every Canaanite present knew that their power was not worth mentioning in front of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance.

Speaker Viridius sat at the head of the long table, with several encrypted reports spread out before him.

He had been working continuously for an entire night.

He hadn't closed his eyes since the news of the fall of the Broken Bone Empire arrived.

It was said that the Orc prisoners were being transported to an unknown planet to be turned into canned goods.

The battle reports on the holographic screen were still flickering.

The fleet of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance had appeared simultaneously at the capital stars of three powers.

The Sargon Free Territory, the Zelar Commercial Alliance, and the Viridian United Kingdom.

They had wiped the capital stars of these three powers off the star map.

Morax sat to the right of Viridius and spoke.

"Speaker, the Broken Bone Empire has fallen. The capital stars of the Sargon Free Territory, the Zelar Commercial Alliance, and the Viridian United Kingdom have also disappeared from the star map. The military power of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is already strong enough to fight multiple opponents at once.

We previously estimated the size of their fleet, but their efficiency in actual combat far exceeds our estimates. One of their Space Marines can fight a hundred of ours. One of their warships can fight ten of ours."

Tailesi sat opposite, head lowered, staring at the tabletop.

"The Broken Bone Empire's Rune War Colossus, intelligence said it was sixteen meters tall and covered in runes, supposedly a great killer on the battlefield. And the result? It was dismantled piece by piece by the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance's Knight Mechs. Their Knight Mechs are only ten meters tall, shorter than the Colossus, but they won."

The military representative, Selephon, had only exhaustion in his eyes at this moment.

"Intelligence shows that the Sons of the People Chapter cleared out the main force of Orcs on Iron Tooth Star in less than three hours. The Tailin Knight House provided support, with zero casualties, and the Orc prisoners are being transported to the farms; they intend to raise the Orcs like livestock."

There was dead silence in the Meeting Room.

Speaker Viridius spoke at this time.

"If the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance attacks us, we won't be able to stop them at all."

Morax said.

"Speaker, the speed at which the Broken Bone Empire fell was far faster than we anticipated. We thought it would take at least a few months, or even years, but instead, it took days. Their Emperor doesn't just talk. He said the Broken Bone Empire must disappear, and the Broken Bone Empire disappeared."

Tailesi raised his head.

"We previously expressed our willingness to join the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, but later... we wanted to drag it out a bit longer. We wanted to see the situation and wait for the reactions of other powers, but now, the situation is clear."

Selephon looked at Tailesi.

"Delay? To what extent do we still want to delay? Wait for the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance's fleet to strike our Capital Star? Wait for their Titans to land on our plaza? Wait for their Space Marines to storm into this hall?"

Speaker Viridius closed his eyes.

"Selephon, you tell me, do we still have a choice?"

"We have no choice; the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance won against the Broken Bone Empire, and it is precisely when their morale is at its highest. The Emperor's mood should be good, or at least it is not a time when he is angry.

Taking advantage of this time to join, they will be more likely to accept it. If we wait for them to come looking for us, it will be different."

Morax said.

"The Broken Bone Empire is an example; Gokazi issued statements, provocations, mockery, and refused to recognize the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance. And the result? By the time the Emperor responded, the fleet had already departed, and the Broken Bone Empire had already entered the countdown to extinction."

Tailesi said.

"We previously expressed our willingness to join the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance. Guilliman's reply was, 'We can talk, but the terms are set by us'."

"At the time, we felt the terms were too harsh: Secondary Citizen status, Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance garrison, trade restrictions, technology blockades. Looking at those terms now, they are not harsh; they are merciful."

"The Orcs of the Broken Bone Empire did not even have the chance to become Secondary Citizens; they were transported to farms and became livestock."

Speaker Viridius opened his eyes.

"So, what is our decision?"

Morax said.

"Join, join immediately, do not delay any longer!"

Tailesi said.

"I agree, join the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance and accept all their terms."

Selephon said.

"I also agree, the sooner the better; it is best to send the application for joining today. Once the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance's fleet finishes refitting and frees up their hands, we won't just be applying to join, we will be begging for mercy."

Speaker Viridius looked around at all the Canaanites present.

"Are there any objections?"

No one spoke.

Speaker Viridius pressed the Communication Device on the table.

"Connect me to the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, Guilliman's office."

The communication request was sent.

The waiting time was very long.

No one in the council hall spoke; everyone was waiting for the other side's communication to connect.
