Chapter 858: Chapter 858 You’re So Cunning

“Today, the interstellar joint fleet launched an attack on the Endless Asteroid Zone, and both sides have engaged in fierce combat within the asteroid passage.”

“The interstellar joint fleet suffered heavy losses and has retreated to the defensive lines set up by the Lei Meng Duchy, Silver Star Free Federation, Flame Dragon Duchy, and Nanyan Duchy.”

“The Galaxy Federation in the Southern Wilderness Star System has demonstrated exceptional strength this time. According to reports from the frontline, the Galaxy Federation has fully assembled elite fleets whose strength is beyond everyone’s imagination.”

This news spread across the interstellar network at lightning speed, reaching every empire, kingdom, and duchy, causing widespread shock.

How could the native planets within the Southern Wilderness Star System be so formidable?

Qin Hao and Lan Xin also saw the news within their spacecraft. Lan Xi exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t Earth just a life-supporting planet? How could it have such strong military power?”

Qin Hao replied, “Military technological strength has nothing to do with the size of a planet. As long as this technology is developed, the vast and resource-rich Southern Wilderness Star System can easily mass-produce various warships.”

If Qin Hao’s planet was in the interstellar region and its surrounding resources were plundered, he would have no way forward. But now, Earth is in the Southern Wilderness Star System, surrounded by many planets that have not yet been exploited, allowing him ample resources to develop military strength.

Lan Xin mused, “Are the people on Earth naturally very smart? Otherwise, how could you develop so many powerful weapons?”

Qin Hao chuckled dryly, “It’s alright. Humans are the same everywhere. The main factor is the development of genetic drugs. Our genetic drug development is quite balanced, covering various aspects.”

Lan Xin held onto his arm, “Do you think my father will send a fleet to invade you?”

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, “Probably not, unless the Eight Major Empires reach a unified strategic cooperation and deploy fleets together. A single empire’s fleet wouldn’t be able to defeat us. Moreover, without corresponding interests, they wouldn’t dispatch their armies.”

Lan Xin nodded slightly, “The Eight Major Empires mistrust each other, making unified collaboration difficult. Once you show off your strength, you can then align with several empires to divide them.”

Elf Queen Yun Ya and several others were resting on the floor not far away. The spacecraft was originally meant for a few people, but now with so many onboard, the sleeping areas were limited to only one bed, forcing Yun Ya and others to rest on the floor. Thankfully, there were carpets, making it clean and comfortable.

Over ten days later, in the Lei Meng Duchy, several hundred miles from the territory of the White General Star.

Qin Hao, Lan Xin, Elf Queen Yun Ya, and others stood inside the spacecraft. Lan Xin spoke, “Ahead is the territory of the Lei Meng Duchy. On the other side, the Interstellar Federation has established a defense line. We won’t be able to break through.”

Qin Hao said, “No problem, head towards the Lei Meng Duchy’s defense line. There are my people on Nanming Star.”

When Qin Hao left Nanming Star, the Li Family in Zhudao City of Nanming Star had sworn allegiance to him. Now, the Li Family is extremely powerful, with F-grade mechas aiding them. No family on Nanming Star can oppose the Li Family.

The Li Family seized this opportunity to greatly expand, annexing several families and becoming one of the prominent families on Nanming Star.

The Shui Family, with Shui Huilan, is also on Nanming Star. Following Qin Hao’s orders, they have transferred most of their assets there. With the support of the Li Family, the Shui Family has also become a prominent family on Nanming Star.

Two hours later, the spacecraft reached the orbit of Nanming Star. After communicating with Shui Huilan, the spacecraft flew directly to Nanming Star and landed in the Shui Family estate.

When Shui Huilan saw Qin Hao again, her eyes were somewhat complicated. Qin Hao smiled and said, “You can call me Qin Hao or Xiao Hao.”

“I’ll call you Xiao Hao. You sure know how to hide,” Shui Huilan said, looking at him with a coquettish smile, her eyes filled with longing.

Lan Xin, seeing this, pinched Qin Hao hard. This guy really knew how to leave affection everywhere.

Arriving at the Shui Family courtyard, Qin Hao said to Yun Ya and the others, “You should rest here for a few days, and then we’ll return to the Southern Wilderness Star System.”

“Alright, Mr. Qin.” Yun Ya and the others nodded.

Shui Huilan directed the servants to take Yun Ya and the others to their rooms, while Qin Hao, Lan Xin, and Shui Huilan went to the living room.

Shui Huilan smiled at Lan Xin and said, “Princess Lan Xin.”

Lan Xin replied, “You know me?”

“I used to be a subject of the Nolan Empire, so of course, I recognize the beautiful and lovely Princess Lan Xin,” Shui Huilan smiled.

Qin Hao asked, “What is the current situation here?”

“The fleets of the four duchies and the Interstellar Federation have set up a defense line within a few hundred star miles of the Endless Asteroid Passage to prevent the Galaxy Federation from breaking through. However, it seems they won’t be able to hold back the Galaxy Fleet. The Galaxy Fleet is too powerful. What the Galaxy Fleet will do next is yet to be seen,” Shui Huilan explained.

After understanding the situation, Qin Hao smiled and said, “Let’s go rest.”

Lan Xin and Shui Huilan paused, exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Qin Hao.

The interstellar society is quite open. Many family heads have multiple wives, and sharing a husband among several women is also common.

The three of them entered Shui Huilan’s bedroom, and soon Lan Xin’s voice was heard from the room…

The next morning.

After breakfast, Qin Hao activated the communicator and called Wei Yingrui of the Lei Meng Duchy. The call was quickly connected, “Mr. Qin, what’s the matter?”

Wei Yingrui now knew Qin Hao’s identity, and his tone was less than friendly.

No wonder Qin Hao had so many high-tech weapons; he turned out to be Qin Hao, the leader of Earth’s forces in the Southern Wilderness Star System.

Hearing Wei Yingrui’s tone, Qin Hao chuckled lightly, “Prince Wei, why change your attitude after buying weapons?”

“Mr. Qin, I don’t believe we have anything else to discuss. It’s best we stay out of each other’s waters,” Wei Yingrui responded coolly.

The formidable strength of the Galaxy Fleet made nearby countries tremble. If the Galaxy Fleet attacked, they would be unable to resist.

Qin Hao said, “It’s not up to you now. Come to Nanming Star immediately.”

“Nanming Star? You’re on Nanming Star?” Wei Yingrui’s eyes widened, a sharp gleam flashing in them.

If he could kill Qin Hao here, the Galaxy Fleet might disband on its own. But it could also provoke the Galaxy Fleet to invade the interstellar regions in fury.

Qin Hao replied, “Hurry up, I don’t have time to waste.”

By the time Qin Hao finished speaking, Wei Yingrui found himself suddenly covered in mecha gear. The mecha launched into the sky, carrying him towards Nanming Star.

Wei Yingrui was terrified, “What’s going on? I didn’t activate the mecha!”

Is there a backdoor control program within the mecha? Qin Hao, you’re so cunning.
