40 News of the Defeat Arrives, The Entire Planet Bhutler Is Shocked

This piece of news shocked the entire Bhutler civilization.

It was unbelievable and unacceptable.

The upper echelons of Planet Bhutler even suspected that this was a piece of fake news.

Ever since the S Battleship Fleet was established, they had never lost before. However, this time, they actually lost.

The most unacceptable thing was that their opponent was the Helka civilization which they had colonized.

However, the Helka civilization used the communication system on the S Battleship Fleet to send news that the Helka civilization was asking for a ransom. It was only then that the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler only confirmed that the S Battleship Fleet had been defeated.

Furthermore, Captain Jack had surrendered voluntarily.

After the news spread…

The citizens of Planet Bhutler were enraged.

Countless Bhutlerians walked onto the streets, shouting a slogan to head to Planet Helka.

They did not know the current strength of the Helka civilization.

Based on their intuition alone, they believed that the Helka civilization would definitely suffer heavy losses after this interstellar war.

After all, they had inflicted damage on the enemy, but suffered a comparable level of damage themselves.

It was impossible for nothing to happen to the Helkan fleet.

Thus, as long as the upper echelons of Bhutler sent another interstellar fleet to Planet Helka, they would definitely be able to heavily damage Planet Helka and obtain victory.

However, the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler ignored the demagogues.

After all, the Bhutler civilization only had three full fleets.

However, Jack's S Battleship Fleet had been wiped out.

Meanwhile, the remaining two fleets also had to guard against a sneak attack by the Smonpabellen civilization.

If the remaining two fleets were also destroyed by the Helka civilization…

… then, the Bhutler civilization would not be far from destruction.

However, if they only sent one fleet, the fleet that had been sent over would most likely be annihilated, just like the S Battleship Fleet.

The upper echelons of Planet Bhutler did not know how powerful the current Helka civilization was.

However, they knew that since the Helka civilization was able to defeat the entire S Battleship Fleet, they were definitely not weak.

Furthermore, not a single person from the fleet had escaped. Even someone as stubborn as Jack had surrendered.

As a result, the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler did not dare to act rashly.

After careful deliberation, the leaders of the Bhutler civilization made their decision.

They would negotiate with the Helka civilization.

They hoped to redeem the full S Battleship Fleet from the Helka civilization through negotiations.

After all, building a full fleet was not easy.

Not only did it consume a lot of resources, but it also cost a lot to train the fleet operators.

If they did not redeem the fleet, it would take many, many years to rebuild another full fleet.

In the interstellar war, time was the most precious resource.

Sometimes, victory would be decided in a very short period of time.

If they lost the S Battleship Fleet, the fleets of the Bhutler civilization would enter a period where their strength would be cut off. After all, there would be no interstellar battleship fleets for expeditions.

Therefore, in order to redeem the fleet, the upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization were willing to pay a sufficient price.

"We underestimated the Helka civilization too much back then. That's why we failed."

"The annihilation of the entire S Battleship Fleet was mainly due to Jack. He must have made a wrong decision which brought the fleet into a quagmire of defeat. However, we also made a mistake by rashly sending a full fleet over before confirming the strength of Helka civilization."

"If you had listened to me and sent three full interstellar fleets over back then, we definitely would not have been as passive as we are now. We might even have taken back Planet Helka."

"You're pretending to be a smart person in retrospect. Now that we've lost, what's the point of saying all that?"

"There is a need to negotiate with the Helka civilization and retrieve the stolen S Battleship Fleet at all costs."

"Establish communication with the Helka civilization now. I want to talk to their superiors."

…

On Planet Terra…

At the military base…

Number One hurried into Brian's office.

"Overlord!"

After seeing Brian, Number One hurriedly spoke.

"We have received a communication request from the headquarters of Planet Bhutler."

Brian had expected this.

After all, no internal news about the defeat of a full Bhutlerian fleet had been sent back.

The upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization must be very anxious.

Number One spoke.

"The upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization probably want to negotiate with you to redeem their battleships and fleet soldiers."

Bob sneered.

"Their plan is going to fail. After all, everyone from the entire S Battleship Fleet is dead except for Jack. Meanwhile, it's even more impossible to return the battleship to them. As for Captain Jack…"

Jack spoke hastily.

"Now that I've joined the Helka civilization and am loyal to the Overlord, it's impossible for me to return to the Bhutler civilization."

Brian smiled.

"If possible, it's not a bad idea to cheat them of some ransom money."

Number One didn't understand what Brian was saying. It took her a second to realize what he meant.

It was only then that she realized what had happened and started laughing.

"Number One, agree to the communication request. Link me up with the communication signal."

"Yes, Overlord."

The communication signal was picked up.

Then, Number One and the others tactfully retreated.

He turned on the photon computer and the holographic image of a Bhutlerian appeared in front of Brian.

This Bhutlerian was the leader of the higher-ups in the Bhutler civilization.

"Are you the Overlord of Helka civilization? Not bad. You're much younger than I thought."

Brian nodded and said coldly.

"Are you the leader of the Bhutler civilization? You're much older than I thought."

The leader of the Bhutler civilization fell silent, as though he was forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart.

A moment later…

The Bhutlerian leader spoke.

"Now, as the leader of the Bhutler Civilization, I guarantee that as long as you release the soldiers of the S Battleship Fleet and return all the battleships from the fleet, the Bhutler civilization will be able to sign a nonaggression pact with the Helka civilization. Then, we will jointly manage Region 15 of the Model Galaxy."

"You have to be clear that you are the defeated party. Your conditions are of no benefit to the Helka civilization. You want us to return the entire fleet? Dream on! Without 10 billion tons of energy crystals and 20 billion tons of mineral resources, you can forget about asking me to return the fleet."

"Ten billion tons? This is robbery! Even the Bhutler civilization doesn't have so many resources. Sorry, but we can't accept your conditions."

Brian sneered.

"Compared to the actions of Planet Bhutler, this is not considered robbery at all. At most, it would be considered demanding for the resources that the Bhutler civilization snatched away from the Helka civilization."

The Bhutlerian leader angrily shouted.

"That's nonsense. Since you have no sincerity, then the Bhutler civilization will treat the Helka civilization as an enemy force. The war will continue forever until one side completely disappears from the Model Galaxy."

Brian replied to him.

"In my opinion, Planet Bhutler is even more insincere. You did not want to pay any price to redeem your fleet at the beginning, and now, you are threatening the Helka civilization. The Helka civilization is a civilization that yearns for peace. If you insist on engaging in war, the Helka civilization will not be afraid of war."

The Bhutlerian leader had an extremely displeased expression. His eyebrows furrowed into a knot.

"You want too many resources. We don't have that many."

"However, we have two subsidiary planets that we can temporarily rent to Planet Helka."

Brian raised his eyebrows in disdain.

"Which two planets?"

"Planet Wyatt and Planet Harrison. Planet Wyatt and Planet Harrison have a lot of resources, including the resources that you want. You just need to arrange for people to mine them."

"I refuse."

Brian shook his head.

The other party was obviously treating him as a fool.

Then, the Bhutlerian leader grew even angrier.

"I can't even rent you two planets? Let me give you a piece of advice: Young man, sometimes being overly greedy isn't a good thing."
