Revenge Battle for Queen Holy Keisha

When he heard they were going after the Taotie Civilization, his expression finally improved. They couldn't beat the Demon Civilization, but taking on the Taotie should be a piece of cake. And they'd be setting out alongside the Angel army, so even if they ran into some larger mecha Taotie, the Angels could help.

"Looks like you've finally learned to handle problems on your own. So, are you ready to head to Earth?" Su Xinghe stepped forward, casting a glance at the Yiren Civilization representative as he did.

"We're almost ready. The Holy Expeditionary Army will set out with us. You can say a few words to them. It's a joint force formed by more than a dozen Aerospace-Class civilizations under the Angel Civilization, with the Yiren Civilization at its head."

Su Xinghe nodded. The Yiren Civilization was the top Aerospace-Class civilization in the Super God Universe. Its conventional weapons could overwhelm the Taotie through sheer technological superiority. The only difference was that, because of the Angels' restrictions, the Yiren Civilization had no soldiers equipped with Void Engines like the Taotie Civilization did.

So he remembered this civilization fairly well. Unfortunately, after entering the Milky Way Galaxy, they'd never appeared again. Who knew where they'd gone off to fight?

"You're only going out to fight one battle. Once it's over, you can come back with me and return to your civilizations. Make sure you're ready to defend yourselves. More dangerous wars are still to come."

"Of course, given your limited combat strength, we'll protect the weak by not requiring you to send troops. You'll only need to provide some resources."

He couldn't be certain of victory against Hua Ye in the future, but there was no way he could conquer Merlot Heavenly Court in just a few years as before. He didn't expect these subordinate civilizations to send troops; that would just be sending them to their deaths. As long as they didn't betray the Angels, providing some of the resources needed for war would be enough.

"We thank His Highness the Prince for his consideration toward the subordinate civilizations. The Holy Expeditionary Army has been formed to fight our enemies in this Revenge Battle for Queen Holy Keisha. We will do everything in our power to strike the Taotie Legion."

Since they didn't have to risk their lives, shouldn't they show their loyalty to the Angel Civilization?

To be honest, the subordinate civilizations weren't all that convinced by Angel Yan. He didn't know what the others thought, but that was how the Yiren Civilization saw it.

"Then get ready to set out. Holy Keisha may be temporarily offline, but I think certain people had better put those thoughts out of their minds."

"Neither Skybase King Hexi nor King of Apocalypse Liangbing is much weaker than Holy Keisha overall. Since you chose to follow the Angel Civilization and enjoy its prosperity, you have to pay a price, too. When it's time to contribute, you need to step up."

Watching the Holy Expeditionary Army representatives turn to leave, Su Xinghe's lips curled upward. Many of them, like the Yiren Civilization, had been Aerospace-Class technological civilizations for a long time.

They depended on the Angel Civilization because Holy Keisha was powerful and the Angel Civilization was wealthy.

"You should stay in Angel City. I'm only going to Earth, and I'll be back in a few days. As for the subordinate civilizations, you need to grow into your role quickly. Many of them follow the Angel Civilization because Holy Keisha is so powerful."

"Hexi and Liangbing are still here for now. But if something happens one day and none of the Three Angel Kings are around, do you think you can keep those subordinate civilizations in line?"

Angel Yan: ...

She was crushed. This King of Angels was, at the end of the day, someone hastily pushed into the role before she was ready. Even during the more than four thousand years she'd served as Left-Wing Guardian, she'd barely ever visited the Yiren Civilization.

"These civilizations really do seem like fair-weather friends. The Angel Civilization has treated them well all these years." Angel Yan weighed the interests involved. Once this war was over, it would be time to clean house among the subordinate civilizations.

"How should I put it? I'm Hexi's boyfriend, and Hexi is Keisha's best friend. Since you're Keisha's student, that makes me something like an elder to you. The Shenhe Civilization's influence still carries weight."

"Now that you've taken the position of God King, you can keep the Order of Justice you hold dear as your faith. But a king has to act like one. The position of God King matters far more than any faith, because you bear the lives of hundreds of thousands of Angels on your shoulders. They may be willing to sacrifice themselves for the justice they believe in, but you must never let them die for nothing."

There were only Su Xinghe, Angel Yan, and a few Angels from the Guard Legion present. Su Xinghe didn't spare Angel Yan's feelings at all; he confronted her directly. Her fighting style was too aggressive, and it would cost the Angel Civilization far too many lives. With Hexi still around, he needed to help correct her approach to battle.

"Under Queen Holy Keisha, I've always been an executor, not a thinker. Please give me some time. I can prove that I'm capable of leading the Angels toward a better future. I'll await His Highness the Prince's triumphant return in Merlot Heavenly Court."

[Energy levels sufficient. Initiating wormhole jump. The Holy Expeditionary Army fleet will enter the Milky Way Galaxy in coordinated groups and immediately assist in striking the Taotie Legion in the Solar System.]

[Heavenly Blade Seven will serve as the flagship's escort, monitoring the Solar System for any possible Sky Scum Legion movements and coordinating with the Prince's unified command.]

"Activate the Space-Time Shield and provide the Holy Expeditionary Army vanguard ship, Dandong, with a scan of the area."

"His Highness the Prince, according to a report from the Merlot Heavenly Court monitoring division, the Taotie Legion in the Solar System accounts for 3% of the Taotie Civilization's total military strength."

"What?" Su Xinghe was stunned when he heard Keira's report. Only 3%? Did they think so little of Earth? He'd thought the Taotie forces in the Solar System made up 30% of their total strength. With the Holy Expeditionary Army, they could wipe them all out there, easing the pressure on the Angels in the future.

But it was only 3% of their forces. No wonder, when he'd read the original story, he'd gotten the impression that no matter how many Taotie died, there were always more.

"Once the vanguard enters the Milky Way Galaxy, have them spread out. Don't let the Taotie and Giant Wolf forces concentrate their fire on them. Wait for the reinforcements to arrive before launching a full attack. Contact Zhixin and tell the Xiong Bing Lian on Earth to bring up every usable ship they have. They'll join us in surrounding the Taotie and Giant Wolf fleets."

"Prepare to enter the Solar System. Guard Legion, stay alert in case Sky Scum Hua Ye appears!"

Earth. Black Great Wall, temporary conference room.

"That's everything for today's meeting. We're focusing on the Taotie and the so-called 'New Human' demons outside Huaxia that are entrenched in the Solar System. Does anyone have anything to add?" With the demons gone, Earth's main threats were the Taotie and the Giant Wolf Fleet. Since the Xiong Bing Lian had been scattered, Lian Feng had gathered everyone currently available to reorganize their forces.

"What about you, Zhixin? As an Angel, you have extensive experience in interstellar warfare. Could you share your thoughts?"

"Oh, one moment. I've received a communication from the Angels." Zhixin glanced at Lian Feng, then answered the call. She'd planned to return to Angel City with the other sisters in the Guard Legion, but Zhao Xin had worn her down with his persistent pleas. In the end, she'd applied to stay on Earth as the liaison between the Angels and Earth.

"Understood."

"Earth's military officers, Prince Xinghe is bringing the Guard Legion, two Heavenly Blade Battleships, and the Holy Expeditionary Army—a force assembled from civilizations under the Angel Civilization—to wipe out the Taotie in the Milky Way Galaxy. He's requesting that Earth send all available personnel and warships into space to fight alongside them." Zhixin relayed the message to everyone representing Earth's factions. The representatives from Huaxia, including Elder Huang, had no idea what was going on.
