Zhao Chen looked at Zhong Xiaoxia, noticing her still-admiral rank, and said, "Originally, according to custom, you are now in charge of an elite fleet group, so you should be promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal."

However, considering the special nature of the elite fleet, your promotion will be postponed for the time being.

However, you possess power equivalent to that of an Imperial Marshal.

The Ghost Scouts, this elite fleet, is entirely under your command, except for myself and Grand Marshal Charlotte.

Apart from that, no one can interfere with your work.

I believe that you will soon become a true Imperial Marshal.

Zhong Xiaoxia knew very well that this was actually a test for her.

The title of Imperial Marshal is not easy to obtain.

Which Imperial Marshal today didn't get his position based on his military achievements?

None of them are just sitting around doing nothing.

If Zhong Xiaxia wants to become the marshal of the empire, she needs to make her first contribution with her Ghost Scout Ace Fleet!

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will absolutely not let you and the Grand Marshal down."

Although our Ghost Scouts are not starships designed for frontline combat.

"But we will still fulfill our duties, complete all tasks, and play the battlefield responsibility that our Ghost Scout Ace Fleet should have!" Zhong Xiaxia said solemnly.

"I have always believed in the saying, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.'"

Intelligence is crucial for an army and for a war.

Our Xiaolong Legion is like a ship sailing in a storm on a vast ocean, and the intelligence you have given us is directly related to whether our ship can successfully navigate the storm and welcome the sunset! Zhao Chen stood up and patted Zhong Xiaoxia on the shoulder.

At that moment, Zhong Xiaxia felt that heavy responsibility.

Zhao Chen continued, "As you probably guessed, we are about to carry out an important mission."

Charlotte will inform you about the relevant matters when the time is right.

Therefore, you need to hurry and get the Ghost Scout Ace Fleet into effective combat capability as soon as possible.

Zhao Chen stared into Zhong Xiaoxia's eyes: "I'm asking you, how long do you need?"

Zhong Xiaxia paused for a moment, then said seriously, "The Ghost Scout Ace Fleet will be fully constructed by the end of February."

"We are capable of carrying out any combat mission without any problem!"

"good!

I trust you.

I look forward to your outstanding performance in your first mission with your Ghost Scout Ace Fleet.

"I'm also waiting to personally pin that rank of Imperial Marshal on you, and to congratulate your Ghost Scout Ace Fleet Group on your first achievement!" Zhao Chen said.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Our Ghost Scout Ace Fleet will never disgrace our Wraith Dragon Legion Fleet!" Zhong Xiaxia shouted.

After that, Zhong Xiaoxia said goodbye and left.

After this work report, Zhong Xiaoxia felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders, but she felt no pressure; instead, she was excited.

This means that Emperor Xiaolong attaches great importance to their elite interstellar stealth reconnaissance fleet, and does not regard them as just a small auxiliary fleet responsible for reconnaissance!

Therefore, Zhong Xiaxia will never betray the trust of His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong.

Absolutely not!

Not long after Zhong Xiaxia left.

Zhao Chen's Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship bridge welcomed its second guest.

"Come over in person."

"It seems you have something very important to tell me?" Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte, who had walked into the bridge and was standing in front of him.

Because of Charlotte's access privileges, Zhao Chen only learned of her arrival when Charlotte's shuttle entered the hangar of the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.

Anyone else, even an Imperial Marshal, who wants to board the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship needs to submit a report and apply.

Only after approval can the shuttle be used to board the ship.

Currently, only Charlotte and Lilith have the ability to use the feature that does not require an application.

Lilith, who was standing nearby, also cast a glance at them.

"The specific attack time has been determined."

"But there are some things that, after much discussion, we think you might need to take charge of personally," Charlotte said seriously.

Zhao Chen asked with interest, "What time? What's the matter?"

"The time is tentatively confirmed to be in mid-March of the Galactic Calendar 3040. The exact time is uncertain, but it will not be more than three days before or after March 15th."

That is between March 12th and March 18th.

Zhao Chen drew a line in his mind.

It seems Charlotte was aware of the Ghost Scout Ace Fleet's situation and gave them ample time to train and familiarize themselves with it.

After all, the Ghost Scout Ace Fleet Group's combat mission is of paramount importance in this operation.

It is crucial to the success or failure of this military operation!

"So what do you want me to do?" Zhao Chen asked.

“Bring in allies,” Charlotte asked directly.

"You mean the Holy Elf Empire?" Zhao Chen guessed a little.

Charlotte nodded, then said seriously, "For this military operation, we will mobilize all of our nearly six million interstellar warships."

Although we are conducting a blitzkrieg, the difficulty and pressure will be greatly reduced if we can have other allies participate in this operation.

"But if this ally were the Holy Elf Empire, the Devouring Civilization would certainly be extremely wary."

Zhao Chen nodded, but said in a deep voice, "I can take care of this."

However, I cannot guarantee that the Holy Elf Empire will provide assistance.

You should know what those guys from the Holy Elf Empire are like.

Their vision is very short-sighted; they may not be willing to participate in such a risky military operation.

Charlotte was not discouraged by this, but continued, "We also considered this point during the meeting."

Therefore, we have three contingency plans.

The best outcome, of course, would be for the Holy Elf Empire to be willing to support us with about half of their interstellar warships, which is 15 million interstellar warships.

If it could really be like that.

In this military operation, we will not only be able to blitz the enemy, but also cripple the Devouring Civilization!

However, this possibility is unlikely.

After all, as you said, those guys from the Holy Elf Empire don't have a long-term vision and might not be willing to take such a big risk with half of their forces.

The moderate scenario is that they are willing to cooperate with us, but the number of interstellar legion fleets that are affected may not exceed five million interstellar warships.

It is estimated that there will be between two million and five million ships, with a high probability of three million interstellar warships.

Although this number has decreased significantly, their willingness to participate in this military operation would still be a form of assistance to us.

Hearing this plan, Zhao Chen nodded.

This moderate scenario is the most likely.

"The worst-case scenario is that the Holy Elf Empire is unwilling to provide us with any substantial assistance."

In this situation, we hope you can try your best to persuade the Holy Elf Empire.

Even without providing any interstellar fleet military assistance.

But at least they can cooperate with us to make that kind of appearance, such as conducting a few military exercises to show that they are going to support us.

As a result, the Devouring Civilization will also experience some anxiety regarding its military deployments due to its fear of support from the Holy Elf Empire.

This kind of help is better than nothing, at least.

I think the Holy Elf Empire wouldn't refuse such 'aid.' Charlotte's tone at the end was tinged with helplessness.

Zhao Chen chuckled and shook his head: "If the Holy Elf Empire really is only willing to go to the worst possible level."

Then we really need to consider future cooperation with the Holy Elf Empire.

After all, a short-sighted person is not suitable as a long-term, in-depth partner.

Charlotte nodded, and then added, "But you don't need to rush this."

It would be best if you contacted the Holy Elf Empire before we took action.

Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte: "Are you worried that the Holy Elf Empire will leak our operation plan?"

"One should always be wary of others. Moreover, the Holy Elf Empire has spies and moles among the Devouring Civilization. Who knows if the Devouring Civilization doesn't have any among the Holy Elf Empire?"

Therefore, informing them of our action plan the day before the operation is most appropriate.

"Even if the Devouring Civilization's spies lurking within the Holy Elf Empire did find out about this, it would be very difficult for them to report it across universes in a short period of time," Charlotte explained.

“You’re very cautious,” Zhao Chen said.

Charlotte said seriously, "Our military operation this time is very important. We cannot afford any mistakes in any link. Once a problem occurs..."

That could lead to the failure of this military operation, and could even cause us to suffer enormous losses!

Zhao Chen nodded knowingly: "I understand, I will do as you instruct."

Charlotte's head.

After discussing some preparations and other matters, Charlotte left.

For the next month, the Dragon Star Empire appeared remarkably calm.

However, at the end of February, no one knew that in a military star system of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire...

One unit has already begun carrying out their combat missions.

Ghost Scout Ace Fleet - Flagship

Zhong Xiaxia looked at the six video windows in front of her. On the other side were a group of JF-17 officers, all of whom were at least Imperial Lieutenant Generals.

These are the battalion commanders of various reconnaissance squadrons within the Ghost Scout Ace Fleet.

"I have already informed you about the combat mission we are about to carry out."

You ten ghost scouts will depart from here and quietly infiltrate the Devouring Civilization Universe.

Together with their comrades who are already lurking in the Devouring Civilization Universe, they will conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the Devouring Civilization Universe.

Especially for those designated strategic target locations, it is essential to have a clear, detailed, and timely understanding of the intelligence.

And most importantly, before Marshal Charlotte and her team carry out the 'Avengers Plan', you must not reveal your whereabouts and avoid alerting them!

Therefore, your responsibilities are very important!
