"Will that cost a lot of money?" Askari asked softly; she didn't have much money.

"Recruiting strong subordinates will inevitably cost a lot," Ifrivi replied earnestly.

Askari frowned, her delicate, jade-like face contorted in anguish. Her Askari Legion was still in its infancy. Although she had received initial funding from the Sephiria Force, since she wanted to forge her own path, she was also responsible for resolving any problems that arose later. Askari was unwilling to seek help from the Sephiria Force for everything.

"How about we set up a trading planet too?" Askari asked, tilting her head.

"The situation we face is different from what happened on Planet Vine. Due to the previous wars, the surrounding forces are already quite wary of us, which caused us to miss the opportunity to establish a trading planet. Besides, without attractive goods, the success of Planet Vine is not so easy to replicate." Ifrivi shook her head, acknowledging that the rise of Planet Vine had a lot of luck involved.

If it weren't for the help of the Lannaian in contacting the Galactic Business Headquarters, and their possession of scarce resources like Saibaman Seed, Planet Vine would not have developed.

"Then there's nothing we can do..." Askari lowered her head dejectedly, looking listless.

A glint of clear light flashed in Ifrivi's bright eyes. "Isn't there another Devil's Den Force right next to us...?"

"Go conquer it!" Askari roared without hesitation.

Ifrivi, amused by Askari's imposing manner, said, "Your Highness, what nonsense are you spouting? Have you forgotten that the leader of the Devil's Den Force is also a member of the Queen's Elite Guard? They've been providing us with considerable covert assistance. My point is to borrow some manpower from them, and then return them once we've overcome this current difficulty."

Askari tapped her head and chuckled, "Oh right, I forgot they're on our side."

"Okay, do as you wish. I'm going to cultivate now."

After saying that, she jumped off her seat before Ifrivi could react and ran off to the backyard. Ifrivi was stunned for a moment when she saw Askari run away, and then chuckled softly.

Princess Askari is so cute.

As the future successor to the Sephiria Force, it's naturally best for Askari to focus solely on increasing her strength. For Saiyan, power is always paramount; while developing power is important, one must not let trivial matters interfere with training. Ifrivi was assigned by Sephiria to assist Askari not only because of her outstanding abilities but also to encourage Askari's training.

According to Sephiria, Askari must spend half of her time training, or she will not be allowed to venture out into the world.

"... There shouldn't be any problems with Lulu. Once we have enough manpower, the Askari Legion can expand further, which will also increase the sphere of influence of the Sephiria Force. Let's discuss this with Ufia first."

Ifrivi thought to herself as she walked out of the main hall.

Askari's training ground.

The majestic mountains stood tall against the blue sky and white clouds, their peaks piercing the clouds, their steep, winding slopes resembling ancient, powerful trees. At this moment, within the lush forest, Askari's young body radiated light. Opposite her were four Saiyan Clones with vacant stares, their fighting power exceeding 100,000. Facing the attacks of the four clones, Askari calmly swung her arms, deflecting each attack one by one.

Bang!

The force of the punch created a violent shockwave, causing the steep cliff to shake violently. The intense shockwave compressed the air, producing a series of creaking sounds.

With a hiss, several afterimages flashed before Askari, all attacking her simultaneously.

Askari's face flushed red as she felt a sudden surge of pressure, causing her body to fly backward uncontrollably.

With a snap, she landed and bounced up, cracking out in a dense web of fissures centered on the point of impact. The violent impact instantly destroyed the mountain. At that moment, Askari roared, her hair slightly raised, her body filled with a powerful vortex. The surrounding pebbles floated slightly, defying gravity.

Askari frowned, her rosy cheeks flushing red, and then she suddenly threw a series of punches.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With several consecutive blasts, the bodies of the four Saiyan Clones were blasted away. A storm suddenly arose, and huge clouds of dust swept out like a desert storm. Askari looked at her attack with satisfaction, sat down heavily, and began to pant with her hands on the ground. A few strands of hair stuck to her small face with beads of sweat.

At this time--

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky and launched an attack while Askari was resting. The attack seemed weak, but it instantly disintegrated the energy storm that Askari had created.

Faced with the enemy's attack, Askari leaped up from the ground with a "whoosh" and swung her fists to bombard the opponent.

Click! Her small fist was caught by a hand, and then the world spun around her. Askari felt as if her vision had been flipped several times.

With a loud thud, his body was deeply embedded in a crater ten meters in diameter.

"Hmm..." Askari murmured, her dark eyes darting across the blue sky.

For a moment, I didn't realize what was going on.

"Girl, how much longer are we going to stay in this pit?" A gentle voice asked, and Roland was seen squatting over the pit, picking up a pebble and throwing it down.

"Dad!" Askari exclaimed in surprise, then snorted, clearly displeased with Roland's sudden attack.

Roland smiled and stretched out her palm towards Askari. Instantly, a peculiar spiritual force pulled her small body out of the soil, gently brushing off the dust. "Alright, don't be angry. I came here with your brother to see you."

"Brother?" Askari blinked.

"Lily, we've come to see you." Tights and Luo Fei approached.

"Auntie..." Askari called out to Tights. Although she knew that the other was her father's wife and that she should call her mother, she couldn't stand Tights's attitude of treating her like a doll. In addition, the only mother she recognized was Sephiria, so she only called Tights Auntie".

"Also, call me Askari, not Lily."

Askari glanced at Luo Fei, who was a bit older than her, and frowned slightly. Although the two were not much different in age, Luo Fei was Half-Saiyan, and his physical growth was obviously much faster than hers, making him look several years older than her.

"This is my brother? He looks so weak."

Luo Fei was greatly discouraged. To be fair, he wasn't exactly weak... well, compared to this younger sister, he was a bit lacking.

"Hello, I'm your Luo Fei."

When Luo Fei first met his younger sister, he wasn't prepared. After searching through his pockets for a while, he finally pulled out a Capsule and handed it to her, saying, "This is a delicious treat I specially brought from Earth. It's for you."

"Delicious?" Askari hesitated for a moment, then looked at Roland.

Roland laughed and said, "Just accept what your brother gave you. Earth's cuisine is unparalleled in the universe, even better than that of the Planet Sadala."

Askari's eyes lit up immediately. Having experienced hunger and hardship, she had absolutely no resistance to food. This older brother seemed to be of some use, Askari thought to herself.
