Chapter 438, Battle Between the North and South Galaxy
Zi Shi and his party did not have to wait too long. After receiving the news, Archipard, the emperor of the Kolov Empire, almost immediately boarded the warp engine spaceship purchased from the Milky Way to welcome Zi Shi and his party.
In an empty void, space battleships gathered in the void, and huge spaceships were neatly arranged in the void. All the battleships and spaceships formed a very spacious starry sky avenue in the void.
A large number of space battleships and spaceships were neatly arranged in the void, just like welcoming the God of the Universe, and a "red carpet" of the interstellar era was laid out in the void without any direction.
At the end of this road, there were space battleships of the Purple Wheel Eye civilization that had stopped moving and were waiting in the void. This was the Kolov Empire using the highest standard of etiquette in the interstellar universe era to welcome the most distinguished guests.
"It's quite grand, haha. Such etiquette is usually only enjoyed by the leader of a civilization when visiting another friendly civilization. I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to enjoy it once."
Ziyun looked at the welcome ceremony held by the Kolov Empire in the void and smiled with satisfaction. He was just a small figure in the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, a very ordinary government official. How could he have enjoyed such treatment?
"That's necessary. Although we are just ordinary people in the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, for these Level 3 cosmic civilizations affiliated with our Purple Wheel Eye civilization, we are big figures that are out of their reach."
Zishi smiled when he heard Ziyun's words. He didn't seem surprised by all this. As an official who manages thousands of affiliated cosmic civilizations, he can basically receive tributes from the Level 3 cosmic civilizations under his command every once in a while. Originally, it was completely possible to use quantum communication to transmit a message. There was no need to come here in person. The reason why he came here was actually to enjoy this feeling of being a superior person.
The Kolov Empire prepared the most grand and high-level welcome ceremony for the arrival of Zi Shi and his party. At the same time, they specially selected a planet on the other side of the starlight that best suited the living environment of the people of the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, and quickly built a very large and luxurious palace on this life planet.
The temporary luxurious palace, all the design styles, decorations, etc. are in accordance with the artistic habits of the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, and the Kolov Empire has used all the exotic flowers, plants, stones and trees collected from various civilizations in the Orion Arm, which is extremely luxurious.
"Lord Zi Shi, I don't know if you are satisfied with this place. If you are not satisfied with anything, I will immediately ask someone to modify it."
In the luxurious palace, Archipard, the emperor of the Kolov Empire, followed Zi Shi very respectfully and served him carefully. He knew that the person in front of him controlled the life and death of countless people in the Kolov Empire. The other party must have come here for that matter. As long as he could please the person in front of him, his empire would suffer less losses.
"Well, it's OK, so-so, let's just leave it like this, anyway I won't live here for long."
Zishi walked casually in the palace, nodded slightly with satisfaction. Even if this palace was placed in the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, it was only owned by the truly wealthy and powerful. It was not something that an ordinary official like him could own. He dreamed of owning a luxurious palace of his own.
However, on the surface, Zishi pretended to be ordinary. The arrogance of the people of the Level 5 Universe Civilization Purple Wheel Eye Civilization must be shown, especially in front of the Level 3 Universe Civilization under his jurisdiction.
The grand reception began to be held grandly under the careful preparation of the Kolov Empire. The Kolov Empire took out all the good things that its civilization could take out to entertain Zishi and his party. There was no need to talk about food, wine, beauties, etc.
"Lord Zishi, this is a small gift from our Kolov Empire to you. Please accept it."
After a round of toasts, Archipard took out a card with some pain. This card was issued by a very famous bank in the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, and it already had a large amount of money deposited by the Kolov Empire in advance.
As a subordinate cosmic civilization of the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, it is not easy for the Kolov Empire to earn some foreign exchange from the Purple Wheel Eye civilization. There is definitely no market for technological products. There are technologically advanced civilizations in the center of the Milky Way, and various technologies are emerging in an endless stream.
If you want to earn foreign exchange, you can only rely on selling some local specialties on the Orion spiral arm. In addition, the Purple Wheel Eye civilization deliberately squeezes these subordinate level 3 cosmic civilizations, so this foreign exchange is definitely not so easy to earn. It can be said that every bit of foreign exchange is slowly accumulated by the Kolov Empire with blood and sweat.
When Archipard took out this card, he felt a pain in his flesh, as it contained tens of billions of Sharingan civilization currency. Perhaps for a civilization, tens of billions did not seem to be a big deal, but in order to obtain these tens of billions of foreign exchange, the Kolov Empire would have to transport materials as huge as several planets from the Orion Spiral Arm to the Sharingan civilization to sell them.
Usually Archipard would not even be willing to use foreign exchange to buy some things for his own enjoyment, but now, he had to take it out, because the person in front of him had to be pleased.
"Well, your Kolov Empire is also thoughtful."
Zi Shi took the card naturally. The portable biocomputer had already checked the funds in the card. The huge amount made Zi Shi very satisfied.
"Archipard, since you are so sensible, I will tell you directly. I think you should have been prepared and guessed why I came to the Orion Arm this time."
Zi Shi received Archipard's tribute, and the Kolov Empire served him very well along the way, so he didn't mean to drag it on. Anyway, he had to tell it sooner or later.
"Is it really going to start?"
Archipard nodded slightly and asked.
"Well, it's going to start. The North-South War, which happens once every 10,000 years, will start soon. I came here this time to convey the order to your Kolov Empire."
Zi Shi nodded, and when he mentioned the North-South War, he became serious.
The so-called war between the South and the North is a very long tradition in the Milky Way. We all know that the Milky Way is a stick-shaped river system. A long stick runs through the middle of the Milky Way, which divides the Milky Way into two parts, the north and the south. As for how to distinguish the north and the south, this is quite complicated. The location of the Orion spiral arm is on the side of the northern Milky Way.
Since ancient times, wars have been constantly erupting between the Southern and Northern Milky Way galaxies, and both want to compete for each other's territory and resources. In the end, a routine has gradually formed. Every 10,000 years or so, a war will break out between the civilizations of the Southern and Northern Milky Ways, a war that sweeps the entire Milky Way.
In this war between the North and the South, almost all civilizations in the entire Milky Way participated, of course, except for the 1st and 2nd level cosmic civilizations, because the level of these civilizations is too low, and the level of technology is quite limited. Even if they participate, they are not even cannon fodder.
Level 3 cosmic civilizations can barely be considered cannon fodder, while level 4 cosmic civilizations are the real main force, and level 5 cosmic civilizations are the key to victory or defeat. Therefore, the lowest civilization participating in the North-South War is level 3 cosmic civilization, and it is also the most powerful level 3 cosmic civilization among the level 3 cosmic civilizations.
The Kolov Empire is also a powerful civilization among the level 3 cosmic civilizations, and it has occupied the Orion spiral arm. In addition, it is also a subsidiary cosmic civilization of the Purple Wheel Eye civilization, so it must also participate in the North-South War. Of course, the army of the Kolov Empire is also the lowest level of cannon fodder in the North-South War. All civilizations in the war are at least at the same level as the Kolov Empire.
Basically, in every North-South War, the army of the Kolov Empire has gone without return, or died, and only a very few very lucky fleets can survive the cruel North-South War.
Therefore, the Kolov Empire was very afraid of the North-South War that happened once every 10,000 years, because every time the Kolov Empire would be seriously injured, and the army that had been painstakingly built would have to be sent to the battlefield of the North-South War as cannon fodder.
But even if it was seriously injured, the Kolov Empire did not dare to violate it in the slightest, because this was not only the will of its suzerain country, the Purple Wheel Eye Civilization, but also the result of the consensus of many civilizations in the entire Northern Milky Way. If it did not send troops to participate, the Purple Wheel Eye Civilization would destroy the Kolov Empire in return.
"Lord Zi Shi, I wonder how many troops our Kolov Empire needs to send to participate in the North-South War this time?"
Archipard sighed slightly in his heart, but asked with an expectant look on his face. There is no doubt that in the North-South War, the Kolov Empire naturally hopes to send as few troops as possible, because the Kolov Empire has long been aware of being cannon fodder, and fighting against the powerful civilization in the center of the Milky Way is simply seeking death.
"Archipad, originally your Kolov Empire needed to send 350,000 fleets to participate in the war, but since you are so sensible, within my authority, I can reduce 50,000 fleets. Your Kolov Empire only needs to send 300,000 fleets. I will let other level 3 cosmic civilizations gather the other 50,000 fleets."
"Of course, all the galactic fleets in your Kolov Empire must be sent out."
Zishi reported the number of 300,000 fleets lightly.
"300,000 fleets? How can there be so many?"
Archipad jumped up immediately after hearing this. Kolov only had 500,000 fleets in total, and now 300,000 fleets were sent out at once to be cannon fodder. This was tantamount to a heavy blow.
"I know that the number of troops sent this time is 100,000 more than the last time, but all level 3 cosmic civilizations are the same, and I have also reduced your Kolov Empire by 50,000 fleets within my authority."
"Hmph! Don't be ungrateful."
Zishi snorted lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Lord Zishi, of course I didn't mean that. We in the Kolov Empire are very grateful for your care."
Upon hearing this, Archipard hurriedly thanked him very respectfully.
"Well, I'm not really sure why such a large army is needed this time, but it is a fact that every Level 3 cosmic civilization has added at least 100,000 fleets."
