Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Holy Elf Empire - High Council

I don't know when it started, but the most discussed topic in this place has become the Xiaolong Empire.

'Dragon Empire' has become the most frequently mentioned term here.

And today, the Flame Elf King has returned here once again.

This also raises a very important issue.

That is, the Dragon Empire sought the Holy Elf Empire to provide technological advancements related to space exploration.

Upon learning of this matter.

Many high elf councilors immediately discerned the true intentions behind the Dragon Empire's actions.

"The Dragon Empire wants to expand its territory and launch invasions against other interstellar civilizations and universes!"

"How can our Holy Elf Empire allow such a thing to happen, and even aid and abet such evil? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Not only can we not give it, we also cannot allow the Dragon Empire to have such thoughts."

As we all know, we are allies with the Dragon Empire, so wouldn't the things the Dragon Empire does implicate us?

"This will even damage the reputation of our Holy Elf Empire!"

Listening to the words of these high elf councilors.

The Flame Elf King scoffed, thinking, "They're still thinking about such trivial things. If it weren't for the Dragon Empire's victory over the Devouring Civilization this time..."

So the Holy Elf Empire is the next target. Whether we'll still be here then, nobody knows!

However, this time the Flame Elf King was confident.

She glanced at the Emerald Elf King, who was resting with his eyes closed. On this matter, she had secretly contacted some people the moment she returned to the Holy Elf Empire.

Upon learning of this, these people's first reaction was naturally to oppose it or to consider it.

However, once they learned about the compensation that the Xiaolong Empire was willing to offer, their attitudes became ambiguous.

Now, all that's needed is for her to come out, to give these guys an excuse, and to create a facade for their hypocrisy.

hehe.

How hypocritical!

But there was no other way to make the plan work.

The Flame Elf King looked at all the high elf councilors present.

She raised her hand, and the entire hall fell silent instantly.

Because of the great victory of the Dragon Empire's invading civilization fleet on the cosmic battlefield this time.

This has led to a significant increase in the Flame Elf King's prestige within the Holy Elf Empire.

He was at the height of his power, and no one dared to offend this Elf King.

"I know what you're worried about."

In the past, our Holy Elf Empire called itself the protectors of peace, and we did indeed have that ability.

But what happened next?

You all know what happened next.

The Devouring Civilization emerged, and since then, we have never stopped a war.

We even personally abandoned interstellar civilizations that were originally filled with peace.

And now, our ally, the Dragon Empire, has achieved a great victory in the conquest of civilizations while fighting alongside us.

This at least demonstrates the fighting strength of the Dragon Empire and its status as an equal to ours! The Flame Elf King paused here.

A high elf councilor with some prestige raised his hand, then stood up and objected: "I do not deny that the Dragon Empire does possess a certain level of military strength and status."

They also made great contributions and played a significant role in this war against the devouring civilization.

However, this does not mean that the Dragon Empire can launch invasion wars against other interstellar civilizations and universes.

If that's the case, then how is the Dragon Empire any different from the Devouring Civilization?

The Flame Elf King shook his head, directly denying it: "The Dragon Empire and the Devouring Civilization are not the same."

First, when the Xiaolong Empire expands its territory in the future, it will most likely use its military strength.

However, this is fundamentally different from devouring a civilization.

What is the purpose of devouring civilizations and invading those civilization universes?

occupied?

no!

It's destruction!

It uses those civilized universes as nourishment for order.

Would the Dragon Empire do that?

Of course not.

Therefore, these two are fundamentally different.

“But this is all aggression!” the high elf councilor emphasized.

The Flame Elf Queen did not deny this point; she nodded and said, "From the perspective of the matter, this behavior is indeed an act of aggression."

However, we must also see the core of the whole matter.

First of all, what is the purpose of the Dragon Empire in exploring those interstellar civilizations and universes?

Is it about enslaving the local people, seizing their resources, and destroying their homes?

No!

I can assure you of this with absolute certainty right here and now.

The Dragon Empire would never do such a thing.

Their purpose is that in the current war with the Devouring Civilization, their resources are being consumed too much, and the Dragon Empire universe alone cannot sustain such consumption.

So, if the final, arduous battle ultimately leads to the destruction of civilization, then for the Dragon Empire, it is very likely to be a Pyrrhic victory.

But it's important to understand that the real enemy has never been the one that devours civilization, but rather the order that operates behind the scenes!

The atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to become much more somber when the word 'order' was mentioned.

Even though many years have passed, the fear of order still lingers in everyone's hearts, far exceeding the fear of being devoured by civilization.

They might still have the ability to fight against a civilization that devours others, but what about order?

How many people are still willing to fight against order?

"I know that we can now be fearless of order."

But will the order let us off the hook?

If they can cultivate one devouring civilization, then they can cultivate a second, and a third devouring civilization.

In time, we will be destroyed by these puppet civilizations supported by the established order.

Therefore, what we truly face from beginning to end is the unsung boss behind order!

Upon hearing this, none of the high elf councilors present uttered a sound.

How could they not understand this matter?

But understanding and doing are two different things.

Most of them are actually avoiding this issue right now.

Because it was so difficult to fight against the order, many records describe that period of time, during which the Holy Elf Empire paid a heavy price in its struggle against the order.

That was undoubtedly a dark age for the Holy Elf Empire!

No one wants to give up their current life and go back to that dark era.

"I know what you're thinking right now."

You're all cowards, thinking you can keep running away forever.

But if you can run away, can your children run away?

Are you planning to leave this to your children?

Let your descendants face this axe that could fall at any moment!

No!

I don't want to see this happen. I don't want our descendants to say, when facing the final disaster, that their ancestors didn't have the courage to face order.

"I don't want to be despised by my descendants!" The Flame Elf King's tone grew increasingly forceful.

Some of the high elf councilors lowered their heads, perhaps with some shame.

The Flame Elf King paused for a moment, then continued, "In comparison, I see in the Dragon Emperor Empire the Holy Elf Empire of yesteryear, or rather, the youngest, proudest, and most fearless Holy Elf Empire of that time."

How much of this spirit can we still see in ourselves now?

They dared to confront threats to order, and they never considered running away.

Even while they are still fighting against the devouring civilization, they are also considering how to establish order in war and achieve complete peace in the future!

Instead of... hiding in a shell, barely surviving.

Everyone knows perfectly well who the Flame Elf King is alluding to in those words.

"Alright, Salamander, let's get down to business and not bring up anything else," said the Radiant Elf King.

This was a scandal for the Holy Elf Empire, and naturally no one wanted to mention it.

The Flame Elf King's goal this time was not to reopen this old wound.

She said in a deep voice, "Going back to what I said before, the Dragon Empire must first defeat the Devouring Civilization before challenging the Order."

That would require sufficient resources.

Currently, the resources of the Dragon Empire universe alone are completely insufficient to support a military force capable of confronting the Order.

Given the current situation of the Dragon Empire, it is already very difficult to maintain a war for even a few months.

In this situation, expansion is the only option.

Hearing the Flame Elf King's explanation, some high elf councilors understood the reason behind it.

Seizing the opportunity, the Flame Elf King continued, "And I have spoken with the Dragon Emperor."

His plans for future expansion actually involve several aspects.

As the Emperor of the Wraiths, his greatest desire was not to wage war against other countries, but to make full use of the resources of other interstellar civilizations with minimal sacrifice.

On this point, the Dragon Emperor promised that as long as the other party does not resort to violence, the Dragon Empire will not enslave the local people, and will even do its best to ensure the local people's living order.

Through a peaceful transaction and mutual cooperation, the Dragon Empire can obtain everything they desire.

Of course, this is the best outcome.

If an unavoidable war were to occur, the Dragon Empire would have no choice but to respond with force.

However, Emperor Xiaolong also assured that all acts of war would only be used when necessary, and that all acts of war were solely for the purpose of strengthening the Xiaolong Empire and opposing the established order.

They will not kill or persecute innocent people without cause.

In these areas, I have investigated the history of the Dragon Empire from its inception to the present.

The Dragon Empire itself was established primarily by humans.

In addition, it has incorporated other interstellar races.

Aside from some necessary armed conflicts at the beginning, the Dragon Empire has never persecuted these other interstellar races after accepting them.

Even the locals are more satisfied with their current lives.

These are all supported by facts.

Therefore, I believe in Emperor Dragon's promise!
