Chapter 1174: Strategic Maneuvers and Power Struggles

Yes, the addition of three beast puppets could make that much of a difference.

In fact, Major General Rafiq was likely underestimating their impact.

Two beast puppets alone had been enough to help them conquer Planet Teutonia.

With a third beast puppet, if they still failed, they wouldn’t have the face to meet Amalia again.

Before handing them over, Amalia replaced the spirit stones inside the beast puppets.

This was already the third time she had done so.

During the previous two battles, although the beast puppets hadn’t unleashed large-scale attacks frequently, the continuous output of energy had still consumed a significant amount.

After swapping out the spirit stones, Amalia handed the beast puppets to Major General Rafiq.

"This time, Kenny Lin will be going with you."

"Ms. Amalia, aren’t you coming with us?" Major General Rafiq asked in surprise.

While Planet Teutonia was important, it wasn’t as critical as Planet Gallia.

If they could take Planet Gallia, the entire force would likely relocate there.

"You all are more than enough. There’s no need for me to go."

The truth was, Amalia had already asked Officer Khan about the situation on Planet Gallia.

Although the aliens had taken control of the planet, the circumstances weren’t as dire as they had been on Planet Teutonia.

The aliens had valued Planet Gallia greatly, deploying significant forces there.

In the end, they hadn’t had to expend much effort to seize the planet.

There were still many humans on Planet Gallia who, for the moment, were not in immediate danger.

The aliens were sending humans to the Solvaris Star System, but the back-and-forth process took a long time.

As a result, there were still over a billion humans left on Planet Gallia, suffering under brutal alien rule.

"Alright then. As for the remaining wounded soldiers, we’ll have to trouble you to look after them, Ms. Amalia."

"General, there’s no need for courtesy. As long as I am here on Planet Teutonia, I won’t let the aliens harm them."

Hearing this assurance, Major General Rafiq finally felt at ease.

Just moments ago, he had been worried—if the aliens attacked Planet Teutonia while they were fighting for Planet Gallia, cutting them off from behind, their entire force would be in grave danger.

This wasn’t an impossible situation.

As long as the aliens were well-informed, originally he had been worried about needing to speak up, but unexpectedly, Amalia had decided not to go, which actually eased his concerns.

As the cosmic battleship moved toward Planet Gallia, the aliens were not idle either and finally discovered the coordinates of the battleship.

Although they hadn’t provided support for Zesch’s Planet Teutonia, that didn’t mean they would allow Aelra’s battleship to be left unchecked.

The fact that he had been able to conquer Zesch’s Planet Teutonia meant he could also turn his forces toward them.

Besides Prince Ceodore, no one else had military power as strong as Aelra’s, especially now that they knew Aelra had recently collected an energy star.

The day after they learned that Zesch’s Planet Teutonia had completely fallen and Zesch himself had already died, the alien high-ranking officials once again convened through the holographic virtual network to exchange information.

"According to intelligence sent back by our people, Aelra’s battleship is currently located at a coordinate not far from Planet Teutonia, and we’ve also discovered something interesting."

General Goltron, who was speaking, glanced lazily toward the disinterested Prince Ceodore Ceodore, who seemed to have little concern for the matter.

"What interesting thing?" another general asked.

"It seems Aelra’s next target is the Prince’s Planet Gallia," General Goltron replied, with a tone of unmistakable schadenfreude.

Another general quickly chimed in, "No way, who doesn’t know that Planet Gallia has Prince Ceodore’s most formidable military force? Aelra just took over Zesch’s Planet Teutonia, and now he thinks he can attack Planet Gallia? Who gave him the guts?"

"It doesn’t matter who gave him the guts, according to the information we’ve gathered, it should be true," General Goltron said, looking at Prince Ceodore. "It seems that it’s no longer possible for the Prince to remain neutral. I have a good suggestion. I wonder if the Prince would be interested."

Ceodore glanced at him, narrowing his long eyes. "Speak."

Although General Goltron didn’t like Ceodore’s tone, he could only endure it in order to draw him into the plan. "To attack Planet Gallia, Aelra will have to use all of his forces, otherwise he won’t be able to take the planet. After all, Prince Ceodore’s powerful general, Loune, is also stationed there. If that’s the case, the Planet Teutonia they just conquered will surely be left poorly defended."

"So, my suggestion is this: We can first concentrate our firepower and recapture Planet Teutonia. By blocking their retreat route, we can then encircle Aelra’s battleship from behind. Taking them out would only be a matter of time. What does the Prince think?"

Prince Ceodore sneered, "General Goltron, are you suggesting that my subordinates should draw all of Aelra’s battleship fire while you take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters?"

"Of course not, I thought I made my point clear enough," General Goltron replied, knowing what Ceodore was implying. "Considering that the Prince’s forces may be contributing more, after we take down Aelra’s battleship, the Prince will receive 40% of the resources. What do you think?"

"Forty percent is what you think will satisfy me? I want Aelra’s battleship," Prince Ceodore said, with no room for negotiation.

"Impossible. The Prince already has one battleship. If Aelra’s battleship falls into your hands as well, the Monarch of other star systems will not look kindly upon it."

A cosmic battleship represented confidence, and Ceodore had been able to dominate the Erythar Star System because of his battleship.

Without it, his military strength wouldn’t surpass theirs.

So, no matter what, Goltron and the others would never allow Aelra’s battleship to fall into Ceodore’s hands, even if it meant a complete fallout.

However, Prince Ceodore didn’t truly believe that, just because his forces were the strongest, these people would have no choice but to yield to him.
