Raditz's dedication to battle reminded Gine of Bardock when he was young. Gine also had no reason to refuse his determination to fight for his people, so she could only help persuade Paragus.
Gine softly said, "Paragus, this child Raditz is so much like Bardock. Since he is so resolute, let him go."
"Alright, since Queen Gine has spoken, Prince Raditz, take Broly and join the team."
Upon hearing Gine's agreement, Paragus no longer refused and took Broly along as well.
"Depart!" With a wave of Paragus's hand, over a hundred thousand Saiyans ascended into the sky, a vast dark mass flying towards the space launch center.
Over a thousand spaceships majestically flew into space. Since Cooler's movements had been under surveillance for a long time, there was no possibility of missing him.
Meanwhile, inside Cooler's battleship.
"King Cooler, a large number of battleships have been detected ahead, blocking our path to Saiyan Star. Should we bypass them?" A grunt knelt before Cooler, reporting.
Cooler raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Oh, really? At this stage, the only ones in the entire North Galaxy who can field so many battleships are those monkeys of the Saiyan. With Bardock absent, they actually dare to actively block this King's fleet. They truly have guts. It's as if they're tired of living."
"King Cooler is wise."
A sycophantic henchman beside him said obsequiously, "These Saiyans don't know their place. Your Majesty can eliminate them with a mere flick of a finger."
Cooler snorted, "Saviza, issue this King's order: the fleet is to accelerate forward and prepare for battle. First, eliminate these audacious Saiyan monkeys who dare to block our path. Then, proceed to Saiyan Star and destroy that planet, which is known as the Imperial Star of the North Galaxy, to let Bardock experience the taste of losing his loved ones. Hahaha!"
Little did he know that his order played right into Paragus's hands. Fighting in space was truly the best option; it meant fewer losses.
"Lord Paragus, our whereabouts have been discovered by the Cooler Corps. They are rapidly rushing towards us. In about ten minutes, the enemy will enter the range of our space battleships."
Thoma walked in from outside and reported to Paragus.
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Paragus's eyes. He felt his blood begin to boil, eager to immediately engage in fierce combat with Cooler.
"Excellent, they're finally here!"
Thoma asked, "Lord, what do we do next?"
Paragus clenched his fist and loudly declared, "Thoma, relay the order: attack the Cooler Corps as soon as they enter our firing range. Since they dared to enter the Empire's territory, they should be prepared to be buried in the North Galaxy."
Thoma responded, "Yes, Lord!" He turned and left to relay the order.
When it was detected that the Cooler Corps had entered firing range, Paragus immediately gave the order.
"Open fire!"
At Paragus's command, the Saiyan Empire's battleships unleashed their full firepower. Countless energy beams poured out like a storm, instantly illuminating the dark space.
Under this fierce assault, the Cooler Corps's battleships exploded one after another, turning into brilliant fireballs.
However, the Cooler Corps was not entirely defenseless. They quickly adjusted their formation and organized a counterattack.
Powerful energy waves struck the Saiyan Empire's fleet. The Saiyan Empire's battleships, apart from their outer shields flickering, suffered no substantial damage.
"Concentrate fire, attack their flagship!" Paragus's eyes were sharp, his command unwavering.
The Saiyan Empire's battleships responded in unison, focusing their firepower on Cooler's flagship.
The escort battleships around the flagship fought desperately, but under the Saiyan Empire's formidable firepower, they gradually could not hold on.
Cooler roared furiously inside the flagship, "Counterattack, counterattack fiercely!"
But the technological gap put the Cooler Corps at a disadvantage. The Saiyan Empire's battleships, relying on their advanced defense systems and powerful offensive weapons, gradually gained the upper hand.
On the battlefield, wreckage floated everywhere, and the energy fluctuations made the surrounding space unstable.
"Lord, the number of Cooler Corps battleships has been reduced by half!" A warrior excitedly reported to Paragus.
A hint of a smile finally appeared on Paragus's tense face. "Don't let your guard down. Keep attacking. Don't give them a chance to breathe!"
Under the Saiyan Empire's continuous assault, the Cooler Corps's battleships were destroyed one after another, and the entire space seemed to transform into a burning hell.
"Hahaha, Lord Paragus, you really have to admit, Dr. Mu truly has some tricks up his sleeve. Cooler's battleships can't even break through our shields."
Thoma stood beside Paragus, laughing, his face filled with excitement and pride.
Seeing his side gaining the advantage, Paragus also started to laugh, his mustache trembling with his laughter.
However, he still maintained a hint of calmness. "Don't be careless. Cooler hasn't made his move yet."
Thoma was somewhat puzzled, asking in confusion, "Lord, how can this Cooler be so patient? His subordinates are almost wiped out, yet he still hasn't made a move."
A trace of unease flashed in Paragus's heart, but he didn't voice it. He merely frowned, his gaze fixed on the battlefield.
After another ten minutes, most of Cooler's battleships had been destroyed, yet Cooler still hadn't made a move.
Paragus decided not to wait any longer. Cooler would have to fight sooner or later, so it was better to finish it early and go home. He might as well take the initiative.
"Garna, you lead the special forces to quickly clear out the grunts. Thoma, you and the guards come with me to find Cooler."
Garna responded, "Yes, Lord! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
Thoma also nodded. "Understood, Lord!"
"Prince Raditz, you and Broly stay here and don't wander off."
Paragus, who had transformed his honor helmet into a full-coverage one, turned back to instruct them one last time before flying directly out of the hatch.
In space, Paragus hurled an energy blast towards Cooler's battleship.
"Seeking death!"
Cooler roared. In a flash, he flew out of the battleship, easily crushing the energy blast with his hand.
He scanned him with the scouter on his ear, then his lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Six million battle power. I didn't expect there to be a strong individual like you among the Saiyans besides Bardock. How about it, do you want to surrender to this King and rule the entire universe with me?"
"No interest!" Paragus refused without hesitation, his eyes filled with contempt.
Even if he wanted to rule the universe, it would be with Saiyan Emperor Bardock! How dare a mere Ice Demon ask him, the Prime Minister of the Saiyan Empire, to surrender?
After replying to Cooler, Paragus was too lazy to listen to any more nonsense. After transforming into Super Saiyan, a powerful aura emanated from him.
"Cooler, enough talk! Today is your day to die!"
