Pledge of allegiance?
Hearing this, Lin Yu seemed to understand what this guy named Anit was trying to do.
'That's really … ruthless!'
However, in Lin Yu's opinion, there was nothing wrong with what Anit had done. For the survival of his own civilization, this was nothing. If it were Lin Yu, he would have been even more ruthless.
"You have successfully piqued my interest. Then tell me, what have you prepared?"
"Ah, right, before this, I am curious about one thing. Where did you obtain the dark energy network communication technology?"
Dark energy?
Hearing this, Anit and Charlie were both stunned, but they quickly reacted. The dark energy communication network that Lin Yu had mentioned should be the technology that Anit had used to establish communication.
Although Anit had such a thing in his hands, he really did not know the name of this thing or the technology. As for the origin of this thing, it could only be described in two words …
Purely by chance!
"Your Excellency Lin Yu, I do not know what this technology is. This thing is a piece of equipment that we excavated from the ruins of a civilization that our Republic found."
"In that ruin, most of the equipment was damaged, and only this communication device was still usable. In addition, when I was watching the battle of the Lanoke Galaxy, I found that the weapons used by the Federation's battleships were almost the same as the weapons used by the powerful battleships in the battle footage that we found in the ruins of the outpost!"
"Therefore, I guessed that the level of technology of the Federation should be similar to that of the civilization that the outpost belonged to. Therefore, I tried to see if I could use this communication device to contact them."
"But … I never expected that this fleet was not a battleship of the Crete Empire!"
In the end, Arnett shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When he was watching the battle, Anit had already discovered that the weapons used by the Federation were almost exactly the same as those in the battle footage that the Republic had obtained from the ruins tens of thousands of years ago.
At that time, Anit had been shocked, but then he remembered that one of the equipment that had been excavated was still usable. After thirty thousand years of research, he still did not understand the principles behind that equipment. However, he had confirmed that it was a communication device and had mastered its basic operation.
Thus …
Thus, this scene had occurred.
"Is that so? That makes sense. The ruins you excavated should belong to an outpost of at least a Tier 9 technological civilization, right? "
"This … I'm not sure either. After all, I've never seen a level-8 or level-9 civilization. I don't know how to differentiate between them!"
As he replied, Arnett's heart began to race wildly!
What did Lin Yu mean by that?
Was it indirectly telling him that the Federation was at least a level 9 technological civilization?
This was a little terrifying. There was a difference of at least two dimensions. As expected, there was no way to fight.
In that instant, Anet was even more determined to do what he wanted to do because he completely understood that this was the only way for his civilization to survive.
Unlike Annette, although Charlie was also shocked, it was in a different aspect.
Charlie remembered clearly that Lin Yu had said that the Federation was a technological civilization of Level 8. Now, Lin Yu was saying that only civilizations of Level 9 and above had the technology to create such a communication device.
Didn't that mean that the Federation was at least a level 9 technological civilization?
This was really getting more and more difficult to understand. What level of technological civilization was the Federation?
"Alright, now you can tell me in detail why you're here!"
After understanding the situation, Lin Fan asked Anet again.
"It's embarrassing to say this, but in fact, from the beginning, I knew that no matter how many fleets I gathered, the most I could do was scratch an itch for your civilization's fleet. The technological level is too high, and there's no way I could win.
"Then, since there's no way to win, the best way is to surrender honestly. At least there's still a way to survive.
"Of course, this requires a proof of allegiance, and I've used the entire Federation's fleet as my proof of allegiance!"
This time, even Charlie understood that Lin Yu was not pulling all the civilizations together to fight the Federation's fleet. He was clearly gathering all the fleets of the civilizations together and deliberately sending them to Lin Yu for him to eat.
This was really … a rather sincere proof of allegiance!
"You're really honest. Then, how did you know that after surrendering to us, there would be a good outcome?"
Lin Yu nodded. It was just as he had guessed. However, Lin Yu did not dislike what Anet had done. In fact, he even somewhat admired him.
"I don't know about that. In fact, at first, I thought that this mysterious fleet was a battleship that Charlie had obtained from the ruins of some advanced civilization. Therefore, my goal from the beginning was to negotiate with the Crete Empire."
As for Charlie, I still know him very well. He's very vain. As long as I'm willing to surrender to him, he will definitely accept me. "
As he spoke, Anet glanced at Charlie.
Being looked at like that, Charlie felt uncomfortable. You can say whatever you want, but why do you have to insult me?
Ignoring Charlie's resentful look, Annette continued to speak.
"But, as you know, when the communication was connected, I discovered that the mysterious fleet did not belong to the Crete Empire. But, that doesn't matter. When I saw Charlie, I knew that the Crete Empire would not be in a bad situation, even after submitting to us."
"Please, Your Excellency Lin Yu, for the sake of the proof of allegiance that I have prepared, accept the surrender of the Heisen Republic. I don't ask for too much, just for the continuation of the Heisen Civilization!"
Anet bowed slightly, his voice full of sincerity.
After listening to Anet's words, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth rose slightly.
This guy was much smarter than Charlie. Moreover, he had prepared a proof of allegiance that would allow the Federation to quickly eliminate all resistance.
Anyway, it was within his authority, so it was not a big deal to accept another subsidiary civilization.
Besides, Lin Fan had a good impression of Anet.
On the surface, he was despicable and shameless, but in fact, all of his despicableness and shamelessness originated from his own civilization.
In Lin Yu's own words, as long as it was for his own civilization, no matter how despicable or shameless it was, it was still great.
"This is the subsidiary civilization agreement that Charlie signed with us on behalf of the Crete Empire. I can give you the same treatment. This is your only chance!"
Without thinking for too long, Lin Yu had already made a decision. He would use the dark energy network to send the subsidiary civilization agreement to …
Send it over!
