The 199th year of the wild calendar.

    Guest room of the Alliance Star Council Hall.

    Two rows of soldiers in white military uniforms stood with their hands behind their backs, serious and motionless, protecting a silver-haired young man who was also in a white military uniform, but with a more gorgeous style.

    A room where twenty soldiers were standing and one officer was sitting was surprisingly quiet. One could even hear the extremely subtle “rustling” sound of a young man turning pages of a book.

    Not long after, the door suddenly opened a crack, and then a well-dressed beta pushed the door open tremblingly. The slightly agitated sound of the door opening broke the silence in the room, and also made the soldiers behind the officer glare at the person who pushed the door in and ruined the atmosphere.

    Beta, who entered the room, was startled by the glares from two rows of guards. He stood up straight, saluted, and spoke quickly.

    “Excuse me, I’m the secretary of this Alliance International Conference, Laiyin.”

    Attracted by this breathless self-introduction, the young man sitting on the sofa opened his eyes and his clear ice-blue eyes looked over coldly. Beta’s ears turned red and he didn’t know what to do with his hands and feet, so he simply saluted again.

    This person’s look at him made him more nervous than the looks from the people in the two rows behind him.

    Who made this gentleman the Imperial Marshal Xi Nianzhou who led the Imperial Army to fight the Alliance for five years? He was a top alpha who had almost no faults except that he was not a member of the Alliance. Even in a place like the Empire with strict rules and military management, he was a legend admired by everyone.

    Xi Nianzhou’s attendance at the peace conference is of great significance to the alliance, and he must not offend anyone.

    Thinking this in his heart, Lai Yin’s voice trembled even more, “Marshal Xi ,Xi Nianzhou.”

    “It’s your turn to give the opening speech at the peace conference.”

    Xi Nianzhou closed his eyes slightly, said “hmm” softly, and stood up.

    Qi Yao, the captain of the guard behind him, took a step forward anxiously, “Marshal, you can’t go.”

    During the peace talks between the two countries, who knows what the alliance has in mind.

    Everyone else can play a hypocritical peace game with the alliance, but the marshal can’t. If the marshal goes up, he’ll stab you in the heart.

    Three months ago, the Marshal’s mecha crashed accidentally during a battle. Everyone thought the Marshal was dead. Later, they learned that Marshal Xi was captured by the Interstellar Alliance, the empire’s enemy.

    No one knew how the marshal had survived those three months. All we knew was that when he came back he was covered in wounds and was being hunted by the Allied forces. He had no memory of those three months.

    The news spread from one person to ten and from ten to a hundred.

    The general idea is that the Alliance must have tortured the Marshal.

    Marshal Xi is respected by everyone in the Empire, but how can the people of the Empire tolerate being bullied like this in the Alliance?

    Before Marshal Xi returned, the Empire was negotiating peace with the Alliance. After Marshal Xi returned, protests to interrupt the signing of the cooperation agreement were repeatedly staged on the streets of the Empire.

    Those old guys in the military who had retired from command saw that after Xi Nianzhou came back, the voices of opposition to peace talks were rising, so they came up with a shocking “good idea”. If Xi Nianzhou himself was the representative of the peace delegation, wouldn’t the opposition be suppressed?

    The opposition was indeed suppressed.

    But it is still disgusting to send Marshal Xi, a victim who had just been bullied by the Alliance, to sign a peace agreement with the Alliance on the Alliance’s territory.

    Some of the officials accompanying this time used to speak at length compared to anyone else. The marshal’s appointment came so soon this time, and who could not help but wonder what they were thinking? They must be looking forward to this carefully planned on-site execution, and it made them very proud.

    Xi Nianzhou glanced at Qi Yao, who had just become the captain of his guard team, and reminded him, “Be careful with your words.”

    Qi Yao covered his mouth.

    It turned out that he accidentally said the last words in his heart.

    Holding the edge of the book with his fingertips through his white gloves, he pushed it tightly into the empty space of the bookcase. Xi Nianzhou’s voice was as calm and peaceful as usual.

    “This matter should not be affected by personal grudges.”

    It has been nearly two hundred years since Blue Star was invaded by alien beasts and its energy was depleted. Thirty-five years ago, due to the birth of artificial planets, differences arose among humans. Some people in the Empire believed that they should leave Blue Star and explore a new home. These people are today’s Alliance people.

    The Imperials and the Alliance lost different things because of their different choices. The Imperials did not leave Blue Star, but retreated to the fortress, trying to eliminate the alien beasts and thus lost their freedom. The Alliance took the initiative to leave Blue Star, wandering in the universe and losing their home.

    Although their choices and concepts are different, they all have the same dream, which is to allow people to live peacefully in a place without strange beasts.

    On these two roads, they encountered different difficulties.

    The Empire has been purging the alien beasts from Blue Planet, aiming to rid the planet of all of them. However, the alien beasts reproduce at an extremely rapid rate, and the speed at which humans eliminate them makes it nearly impossible to completely expel them from the planet. Instead, the alien beasts are destroying the planet’s ecosystem, leading to a growing scarcity of ecological resources and increasing radiation. The remaining humans are forced to be strictly managed, with only high-quality genes remaining, and resources allocated based on contribution points.

    The Alliance has been traveling in the stars and has discovered new habitable planets. However, due to a failed space jump, they returned to the vicinity of the Blue Star. There is only one energy star around the Blue Star, so if the Alliance wants to space jump again, it must obtain energy from the Blue Star.

    The Alliance wants to seize the Empire’s energy.

    This battle lasted five years.

    Only recently has peace been possible.

    Because the Alliance was willing to tell the Imperials about the information of new habitable planets, the Imperials finally had the idea of ​​going out.

    Xi Nianzhou walked out of the lounge, passed through the winding corridor made of white metal, and headed towards the terrace for the speech.

    The Alliance’s “Star Chasing Terrace” is located in the center of this artificial star. It consists of a long ladder extending upward and a circular platform in mid-air. There are flying cameras in all directions around the terrace, and the content of the cameras will be projected in real time on the holographic projection surrounding the circular platform.

    It is impossible for people who give impromptu speeches here to cheat.

    Of course, Xi Nianzhou didn’t need it at all.

    Standing on the terrace, the handsome silver-haired alpha’s fingertips lightly touched the oath, and a clear voice came out from the microphone, reading out something from a formal book like the Empire’s Code of Integrity. Although there was no emotion in his voice, it was more beautiful and natural than the male voice reciting affectionately on the radio, with a natural sense of abstinence. I wished he could say a little more so as not to waste his good voice.

    After the required oath-taking part of the process was over, Xi Nianzhou stopped looking at the oath and raised his head slightly, looking at the flying camera closest to him. His indifferent gaze passed through the screen and immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.

    [Wow, he looked at me, he must have looked at me, how foul. It makes me want to commit treason.]

    Staring is undoubtedly the action that is most likely to make people have the illusion of love. Some netizens exaggeratedly commented that at that moment at least one-third of the omegas were in heat.

    Under the dual buff of his bewildering beauty and his clear, ethereal voice, time passed without any warning. The alpha, whose every move was filled with unparalleled charm, had finished his impromptu speech and made his final closing remarks.

    “Humans born in this generation have seen countless robotic satellites, but have never seen a true ocean, grassland, or blue sky. I have always firmly believed that hidden in the distant galaxy are a few stars that carry our ultimate vision. Atoms and elements similar to ours, the light emanating from those stars, will travel billions of light years across the silent universe and eventually fall into our sight. That is our new home.”

    [At this moment, I actually started to envy the stars.]

    [Don’t let the stars fall into your eyes, just let me fall into your eyes, okay.]

    [Wow, wow, wow, the Marshal is so beautiful. Stop talking about love, there are more and more people trying to steal my wife.]

    [Is that your wife? Don’t you have a wife? Are you trying to steal my wife?]

    At first glance, you can see that people who speak online all have the suffix “alliance” following their name.

    It’s not that there are no Imperials watching the live broadcast, but they are really invisible under the suppression of the Alliance army.

    Both the Empire and the Alliance have accounts on the Star Network, but because of their different national temperaments, the Alliance has always been more active than the Empire. The network base is much higher, and the Empire’s own people pay more attention to etiquette and rules. This is their own marshal, who is in a high position and powerful, and they respect and fear him, so he can’t say so many dirty words.

    It was not until he was furious at the Alliance’s fantasies about their marshal that he roared in a corner of the Star Network.

    [The Marshal is not your wife! Who would marry an alpha? You wishful Alliance members!]

    Then it was drowned out by the shouts of the alliance members calling for their wives.

    Xi Nianzhou didn’t know that he would become the popular figure of the alliance just because he came to the alliance as an ally for the first time in his life. After all, he didn’t go online, and the imperial people around him didn’t go online either.

    Looking at the extremely excited audience, the entire guard team was a little confused and afraid that Xi Nianzhou would be offended, so after Xi Nianzhou finished his speech, they immediately sent Xi Nianzhou down the terrace and back to the corridor they came in through.

    Those who can give speeches on the Star Chaser Terrace are all important figures in the interstellar world. When designing this speech venue, the Alliance took many safety issues into consideration. The entrances and exits are designed with identical corridors on all sides, so that one can enter and exit from anywhere. With this design, in the event of an accident, different routes can be chosen to interfere with the enemy’s eyes and ears.

    So when the Imperial Guards encountered the opposing team head-on, they all felt incredibly unlucky. They must have forgotten to check the almanac before leaving the house. Otherwise, with so many roads to choose from, how could they have run into them?

    A group of alpha soldiers, dressed in black uniforms with gold trim, came towards them in a bustling crowd. These soldiers did not line up in formation and walked quite casually. However, among all the alphas, the one walking in the middle, who was much taller than the other alphas, still stood out from the crowd and was obviously their leader.

    The extremely eye-catching alpha was tall and had an extremely impressive aura. A few strands of black hair were not combed back in his hairstyle, but were tucked under his military cap, falling above his golden eyes that seemed to have locked the morning light. Those amorous eyes seemed to reveal some deep affection when they looked at everyone, but if you looked deeper, you would find that it was just an appearance, and in fact, there was a locked madness inside.

    But for such a handsome man, no matter how crazy he is, it cannot diminish the fact that he is a charming alpha.

    The betas and omegas passing by all looked at the man with admiration.

    It was not surprising to encounter such a look in the Alliance, but all the imperial soldiers present were gritting their teeth in hatred.

    After all, he was the guy who held the marshal captive for three months and almost made them think that the marshal was dead.

    The saying “enemies often cross paths” is true!
