Half-plane, port.

The faint buzzing sound, like the fluttering of bees, gradually grew louder until it was deafening. The warships, arranged in groups like steel whales, slowly rose into the air under the control of their pilots, spewing out beams of dark blue light. Their interiors were outlined with beautiful diamond shapes, possessing a unique beauty of energy structure.

Click!

The sky cracked open, transforming into a spatial vortex spanning the heavens with a diameter of ten thousand meters. The immense suction force formed a circular magnetic field, causing the surrounding natural elements to surge violently. Warships passed through the colorful halo formed by the elements, filed in, entered the spatial vortex, and gradually disappeared into the demiplane.

Within the flagship store.

Logo stood with his hands behind his back in front of the porthole, with the Grand Elder holding Scythe of Slaughter beside him, and the Demon Pattern Grand Duke standing respectfully behind him.

"Demon Pattern, I'm handing over full command of this campaign to you. I won't interfere, but can you guarantee we'll successfully take the Holy Knight Star System?"

As his voice faded, the Demon Pattern Grand Duke immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Your Majesty, rest assured, my greatest expertise lies in interstellar warfare. Previously, the Royal Court was weak and had no fleet for me to command, which is why my reputation remained obscure. As long as you give me a sufficient fleet, I am confident that I am no less capable than any fleet commander in the Elven Plane."

The Demon Pattern Grand Duke appeared extremely confident and radiant.

Logo glanced back at him, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Although the Demon Pattern Grand Duke was not particularly politically astute and was not good at handling affairs, his war command ability was outstanding, even among the many famous generals in the Gendaya Royal Court.

He is the kind of person who has military talent, political talent, and economic talent—a super-talented individual with exceptional abilities. Otherwise, Logo would not have allowed him to command the Royal Court's most elite Heavenly Eye Force.

Logo went to great lengths to deploy the still-weak Royal Court Space Fleet in order to achieve an extremely important strategic objective. The war must be won, and there is no room for error. Therefore, he specially transferred the Demon Pattern Grand Duke from the Heavenly Eye Force to let him do his old job as a fleet commander.

The Demon Pattern Grand Duke was overjoyed. Ground wars are so boring! If we're going to fight, let's fight a three-dimensional space war!

"Your Majesty, this old minister does not understand why you are so insistent on attacking the Holy Knight Star System. Even if we conquer it, it will only serve as an Royal Court. We will need to station troops there, which will be a huge drain on our resources. Moreover... the Holy Knight Star is a medium-magic planet, heavily defended, equipped with spatial teleportation arrays, and guarded by Demigod. If anything changes, the Radiant Empire will send even more Demigod powerhouses to arrive quickly..." The Grand Elder said with a bitter face, his words implying that the Royal Court should not attack the Holy Knight Star System; it would be too unwise.

After hearing these words, Logo was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and sent a few words to the Grand Elder.

Under the curious gaze of the Demon Pattern Grand Duke, the First Elder, who had been frowning, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, his face visibly flushed red, and his powerful aura overflowed, wave after wave, his excitement evident in his words.

"Your Majesty didn't lie to me?!" the Grand Elder asked, gripping Logo's hand tightly.

Logo smiled without saying a word, but his attitude spoke volumes.

"Good, good, good, hahaha, I didn't expect this, the Legend..." He suddenly stopped speaking, leaving the Demon Pattern Grand Duke, who had only listened halfway, somewhat dumbfounded.

What's the Legend? Just tell us! Leaving things unfinished, piquing our curiosity, and then suddenly stopping is really unethical!

"Now, does the Grand Elder still want to question my decision?" Logo Earth Dao with a half-smile.

The Grand Elder quickly shook his head, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. The decision to attack the Holy Knight Star System is truly wise. This old minister also believes that we must take this place at all costs. No matter how many resources we spend or how many soldiers we send in, it is all worthwhile!"

"?"

The Demon Pattern Grand Duke was even more confused, but he dared not ask any more questions. He could only guess in his heart what it was about the Holy Knight Star System that His Majesty and the Grand Elder valued.

transportation?

No, this place is very close to the edge of the universe, definitely not a hub.

resource?

That's possible. As a planet with medium magic power, Holy Knight Star has a considerable amount of resources.

Moreover, having a planet with medium magic power provides an extra safety net; if things don't work out on Planet Oklo, they won't have to become a nomadic race...

As for why the Grand Elder suddenly had a change of heart, perhaps there are some unknown special resources on Holy Knight Star?

The Demon Pattern Grand Duke secretly guessed, but he could never have guessed that Logo's desire to take over the Holy Knight Star System was not for a mere mid-level magic planet of lower caliber.

His real target is Golden Star!

Golden Star is located in the Karen Star System. If we simply compress three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional diagram, the Holy Knight Star System is located to the northeast of the Karen Star System. North of the Holy Knight Star System is the vast galaxy group containing Planet Oklo.

Starting from Planet Oklo, after traversing several star systems, including the Holy Knight Star System, from north to south, you will arrive at the Dragon River Star System, which belongs to the Iridescent Light Empire.

In fact, Logo's real target was not the Holy Knight Star System of the Radiant Empire, but the Dragon River Star System.

Because the wormhole leading to the interior of Golden Star is located at the edge of the Dragon River Star System.

A few years ago, due to insufficient strength, Logo could only suppress his impulses and focus on development. Now it's different. The improvement in strength gives him the confidence to take control of the Dragon River Star System and thereby completely control Golden Star.

Taking over the Holy Knight Star System would only increase our strategic buffer zone. With just the Dragon River Star System, our territory would still be somewhat limited. Moreover, the Dragon River Star System only has one low-magic planet, Dragon River Star, which is insufficient to deploy ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays.

As Holy Knight Star is very suitable in this regard. It can be used as a strategic fulcrum and transformed into a dedicated "guardian star," serving as the gateway to Golden Star.

After leaving the demiplane, the fleet initiated a long-distance jump, avoiding many prosperous star systems along the way and choosing routes with few people as much as possible, slowly approaching the Holy Knight Star System.

at the same time.

Ashes, the Star Moon mothership, blood surging within, coffins faintly floating, dense, invisible lines of cause and effect weaving back and forth as if creating an invisible net.

"The new king of Gendaya has set out; he will appear at this location..." A slightly weary voice came from the coffin, "Remember what you promised our Blood Clan..."

"Don't worry, after so many years of cooperation, you should know me well," Sylvain a smile.

The First Blood Ancestor said no more. He still believed in Sylvain's character; at least in terms of promises, this guy had never broken his word and was extremely trustworthy. As for other things... please don't forget his identity Dragon-Hunting Spider.

The blood-red light condensed into a sphere of light, gradually shrinking until it finally turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Sylvain his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "The Holy Knight Star System, what's he doing there?"

Having come up with no results, Sylvain stopped thinking about it. To ensure the operation would go smoothly, he specifically contacted Dark Moon Gelaxius and Golden Lion Jiesili of the Radiant Empire.

"Now, everything should be foolproof, right?"
