Chapter 619: Chapter 326: Yaohan Kingdom’s Great Expansion War – [Immortal Qin Dynasty · Immortal Qin Heavy Industry Conglomerate]_2

Hearing this, the five Fearless Ship Captains suddenly realized the situation and began to ponder.

Especially Song Wujiang, his gaze towards the elder ancestor of the Eagle Family’s follower faction was full of surprise.

A High-Level Mobile Warstar is able to match a Sixth-Rank Fearless Ship in terms of defense and firepower, and even surpasses it in firepower.

Such a grade of Mobile Warstar can only be constructed by the “Immortal Qin Heavy Industry Consortium” of the Four Great Super Empires, specifically the Immortal Qin Dynasty; each requires a significant amount of invaluable High-Rank materials. As a result, the value of one High-Level Mobile Warstar is extremely shocking.

When he was younger, and still a Fifth Rank Battleship Captain, Song Wujiang had attended a high-end auction in the Yaohan Kingdom and witnessed the auction of a High-Level Mobile Warstar with his own eyes.

The final deal was closed with a considerable amount of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin, and at that time, let alone Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin, even Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin was somewhat beyond Song Wujiang’s means.

...

Even after advancing to the Sixth Rank, the Seventh Rank Level Floating Land Origin remains exceedingly precious to him and the entire Dinghai Song family. Every strand is preserved as part of the family’s foundation, only bringing out a few strands for the most valuable components aboard the ship, attempting to enhance them to the Seventh Rank.

Because he understood the value of a High-Level Mobile Warstar so well, Song Wujiang was so surprised. In his memory, he hadn’t known that the Eagle Family possessed a Mobile Warstar of such grade.

The five major forces of Chenxing Principality each have a considerable number of Mobile Warstars. The Low-Level Mobile Warstars comparable to the Fourth-Rank Level are no less than ten, and the Intermediate Mobile Warstars comparable to the Fifth-Rank Level also exist in varying amounts of two to three. Yet, there has never been talk of anyone possessing a High-Level Mobile Warstar.

“Could it be left by the original Marquis, Robert Eagle?”

As Song Wujiang was mulling this over, Hadi Stark spoke up again.

“In addition to my personal participation in the battle, I will also contribute a Gold Sanctuary Component, which can provide an additional 300% enhancement in defense, speed, and firepower intensity to all linked warships, enough to include all the Fearless Ships in the subsequent United Fleet!”

As soon as the phrase Gold Sanctuary Component was mentioned, the eyes of the five individuals narrowed simultaneously, their eyes flashing quickly, each lost in their thoughts.

While everyone remained silent, Hadi Stark spoke up once more.

“With this Gold Sanctuary Component, my Stark family demands a 2.5 share!”

The leaders of the five major forces of Chenxing Principality remained quiet, quickly weighing their options internally.

They all had some guesses about the strategies of the Stark Family or, more precisely, Hadi Stark.

This person is genuinely from nearly ten thousand years ago, and it has been thousands of years since his flagship reached the Ultimate Dreadnought stage. If calculated carefully, his time until he reaches the Sixth-Rank limit is not very far off.

A Fourth-Rank Torch Ship Captain has a lifespan of 2,000 years.

A Fifth-Rank Torch Ship Captain has a lifespan of 4,000 years.

A Sixth-Rank Torch Ship Captain has a precise lifespan of 10,000 years.

Looking at it this way, Hadi Stark clearly does not want to just watch as his final moment approaches; he plans to use the upcoming grand colonization war by the Yaohan Kingdom to attempt an assault on the Seventh Rank Dominator position.

And to attack the position of a Seventh Rank Dominator, even if it’s just a transformation from a Fearless Ship to a Star-Annihilating Starship, the resources required are indeed terrifying.

Therefore, to accumulate enough resources, the Stark Family must seize sufficient interests in the upcoming grand colonization war.

Otherwise, relying on their influence, which has been continuously compressed over the last few thousand years, once Hadi Stark’s ascension fails, it’s feared that the Stark Family will no longer be able to maintain their current balance and their power will significantly decline, or worse, they could be completely annihilated under the ferocious competition of the many forces within the Yaohan Kingdom.

To avoid such a scenario, it’s inevitable that the Stark Family must find ways to secure a sufficiently large share within the Six-Family Alliance.

The five of them guessed correctly, and the following words of Hadi Stark fully proved this.

“With this Golden Component in addition, my Stark Family asking for a 2.5 share isn’t excessive, right?”

Song Wujiang and his four companions hesitated.

Twenty-five percent, meaning the Stark Family would claim a quarter of all subsequent United Fleet revenue—a far from trivial amount.

It should be noted that outside their six families, there were many Fourth Rank forces within the Principality that would also have a share.

However, the Golden Sanctuary Component offered by the other party was indeed powerful—300% enhancement to the warship’s defense, firepower, and mobility speeds, which would greatly increase the safety of all Fearless Ships. Given this, none present could refuse.

A moment later, the Lu Family patriarch spoke,

“Let’s do it like this, 2.5 for Stark, 2 for Chenxing, 1.2 each for my Lu Family, Song Family, and the Dusk Family, 0.7 for the Eagle Family, and the rest of the forces in the Principality to share the remaining 1.2. However, the two Fearless Ships from the Imperial Family must join the battle.”

Speaking, he turned his gaze to Angele Chenxing at his side.

In the initial negotiation among the six families, the Chenxing Imperial Family had expressed their stance of wanting a 20% share, but had not specified the number of Fearless Ships they would provide. Now, at the end, this had to be clarified.

Otherwise, why should the Chenxing Clan have a 20% share when the combat power of the Golden Cross wasn’t much less than that of Rosetta’s flagship, while the Lu Family only gets 1.2?

Angele agreed without surprise, nodding quickly,

“Naturally, both my ancestor and I will join the fleet!”

“Let it be so. As for the allocation of the Fourth Rank forces within the Chenxing Principality, you’ll arrange it yourselves. The specific time for the Yaohan Kingdom expedition should be in fifty years, so do all the prep work for the war ahead of time!”

With that, Hadi Stark’s warship projection slowly faded away. As for Song Wujiang, he was in no hurry to end the projection. There were things he still needed to entrust to Song Xingru; he wasn’t too confident in this junior.

Outside, as the energy circle in the center finally dissipated, the gazes of the Torch Ship Captains collectively focused on the flagship of several major heads of the Principality.

Though not privy to the specifics of the six-person discussion, the core members of the Fourth Rank forces roughly knew it pertained to profit-sharing of the upcoming exploration mission.

With Hadi Stark’s departure, it meant the final profit distribution had been settled, and now it was their turn to be concerned—these Fourth Rank forces naturally paid attention.

Feeling the tens of thousands of eyes converging on them, the Sixth Rank ancestors felt a bit of a headache.

One must know that the territory of the Chenxing Principality spanned tens of thousands of light-years, with not a few Fourth Rank forces. There were over twenty, including two pseudo-giant forces with their own Battleships. With so many forces and only 1.2 shares, one can imagine the upcoming commotion.

As for these matters, Song Wujiang cared not, for his presence was but a projection, which would soon end. Song Xingru obviously wasn’t the right choice to handle these issues, so he left the headache to the other four families.

As for Song Chi, he was unaware of these details; his attention was on the Battleship Captain from the Stark Family.

Upon realizing the other seemingly had no more concern for him, he felt somewhat surprised.

However, after discussing the matter with Ru Zu and the Prime Ancestor of his family, their explanations quickly helped him understand.

“No need to overemphasize Anderson Stark. In the eyes of that nearly ten-thousand-year-old Ultimate Dreadnought of the Stark Family, nothing is more important than extending life and breaking through to the Seventh Rank. A descendant many generations removed is, after all, not even the first in line—his death would hardly stir a ripple in the Stark Family!”

Upon hearing this, Song Chi had an epiphany and understood even more.

This situation wouldn’t differ much for him. Potential was potential, but without having fully tapped into all of it and truly enhancing his strength, he should never think too highly of himself.

In the end, one’s own strength was the foundation.

Soon, after the ancestors’ projection from the flagship dissipated, the Song Family’s group returned to the Chenxing Yang Continent via the Star Gate.

Song Chi didn’t choose to return directly to the Dragon Spine Continent. Since there was no longer need to worry about the Stark Family, he decided to first install the top-rank components he held onto the Cang Qiong.
