There was hope in the eyes of the Terrarian leaders.
There was courage and a thirst for freedom that had been suppressed for many years in their eyes.
The Helka civilization that had descended from the sky brought them hope and swept away the haze above their heads.
If not for their weak strength, the Terrarians did not want to be treated as slaves by any planet.
If they mined for the Bhutlerians, not only would there be no reward, they would also be laughed at and slaughtered.
However, if they mined for the Helkans, not only would they be respected and regain their freedom, they would also be supported with technological equipment.
Anyone with a brain understood what decision they should make.
“I hope that we can work well together!”
Number Two was relieved to have completed the task Brian had given him.
“We have one more month. We don’t have much time left. The full S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler will reach this star territory very soon.”
“Rest assured, my lord. I will go back and gather all of my people to mine the resources that the overlord needs.”
Not long after Number Two and the leaders of Planet Terra reached a consensus, orderly mining began in the various mining areas of Planet Terra.
Due to this call for freedom, many Terrarians responded.
As a result, many Terrarians outside the mining area also entered the mining area to mine.
In the mining area, they found that the new Helkan soldiers were very kind. Not only would they not whip the miners, they would even mine with them.
After their daily missions were completed, they could move freely. No one forced them to mine.
This made the Terrarians fully trust Number Two’s words.
The Terrarians had regained their freedom. Instead of slacking off, they became more active instead.
They still worked extremely hard at mining even without any supervision.
A hundred million kilometers away…
In the underground base of Planet Helka…
Brian, who was sitting in the command center seat, quietly read the report sent by Number Two.
Brian continuously received news about the occupation of Planet Terra and the resumption of mining there. His heart stirred at this news.
“Planet Terra, my first subsidiary planet!”
“This way, we don’t have to worry about the energy problem of the destruction-grade battleships for now.”
Number One, who was beside him, was also very happy when she saw the news.
“Divine Lord, it’s really going smoothly. This is truly the most glorious moment in the history of Planet Helka. This is unprecedented!”
Brian chuckled and said, “Number One, you still have a flustered personality even after following me for so long. Haven’t we just occupied a subsidiary planet? After defeating Planet Bhutler, we will occupy even more subsidiary planets. This is just the beginning.”
“The Divine Lord’s teaching is right. My knowledge is too shallow. However, this occupation of Planet Terra is truly meaningful.”
Number One was very excited.
“Divine Lord, this is the first time in Planet Helka’s history that we have occupied a planet with intelligent life. Even during the peak period of Helka’s history, when we had countless mineral resources and an extremely large fleet, we did not occupy Planet Terra as easily as we did this time.”
“That’s weird.”
Brian didn’t understand.
With the technological strength of the Herka civilization at its peak, occupying a resource planet should be a piece of cake.
Even if they did not take the initiative to occupy other planets, in the interstellar battlefield where the strong preyed on the weak, there would still be weak planets that would take the initiative to seek refuge with powerful planets.
They had only sent several dozen small Rising Battleships there, but they were able to make the Terrarians willing to mine for Planet Helka.
Brian was extremely confused.
Seeing this, Number One hurriedly explained.
“Previously, there was an even more powerful Model Galaxy Alliance who established some interstellar treaties in the Model Galaxy.”
The Model Galaxy Alliance?
Brian found this name familiar, but wondered if he’d heard it somewhere before.
“Tell me about the Model Galaxy Alliance and the interstellar treaties.”
Number One continued to explain. “The Model Galaxy Alliance was jointly established by a group of high-level civilizations. It is said that only civilizations above Level 4 can join it. Planet Helka’s civilization level is not even at Level 2, so we are naturally not qualified to join.”
“The interstellar treaty stipulates that high-level civilizations cannot use violence to interfere with the development of low-level civilizations. Otherwise, the alliance will send out powerful forces to punish planetary civilizations that do not comply with the treaty. Previously, Planet Helka strictly obeyed the interstellar treaty and never thought of using force to occupy subsidiary planets.”
Brian was furious after hearing Number One’s explanation.
“What bullshit interstellar treaty is that? It’s simply useless. If it was useful, would Planet Helka be suppressed by Planet Bhutler to this extent? The Model Galaxy Alliance is also a mob!”
“In an era where the strong prey on the weak, we must first ensure that we have enough strength to defend ourselves. The interstellar treaty is just a set of rules established by those with vested interests to prevent the rise of other civilizations.”
Number One fell into deep thought and did not reply Brian.
Before Brian arrived at Planet Helka, the upper echelons of the Helka civilization were looking for a planet suitable for the development of their civilization.
However, they had still not found a suitable planet when the Bhutlerians invaded Planet Helka.
When the disaster arrived, they could no longer feel any regret.
If they had accumulated enough power in the early stages, perhaps the situation would have been completely different.
When Number One thought of this, she admired Brian even more.
In her opinion, Planet Helka was saved by Brian alone.
Then, Brian’s question interrupted her thoughts.
“Exactly which advanced civilizations are in the so-called Model Galaxy Alliance?”
“Reporting to Divine Lord, as a low-level civilization, Planet Helka is not qualified to join the Model Galaxy Alliance. Thus, we naturally do not know.”
Brian was silent.
In the end, he was still too weak.
However, there was no need for him to care about those things at this moment. He would focus on increasing his strength.
With sufficient strength, he would naturally know.
Then, Number One said to Brian, “Number Two has sent back a message. According to the speed at which the Terrarians are mining, they can bring back about 300 million tons of resources in a month.”
“Alright. However, 300 million tons of resources are still not enough. Arrange for Number Three to transport the large-scale mining machinery designed by Harris there to assist the people in mining.”
Brian planned to collect at least a billion tons of resources so that more destruction-grade warships could be created.
The more battleships there were, the higher their chances of defeating the Bhutlerians.
“Yes, Divine Lord. I’ll do it now.”
At this point, Brian was finally relieved about the Planet Terra mining plan.
After Number One left, Brian felt a change in his Interstellar Overlord Seal.
