319: The arrival of the starship

The Decision Maker of Guguo saw this situation, and his heart cried out that it was not good, fearing that Pal would vent his anger over the Black Country Decision Maker's impolite behavior on his own country.

A fawning smile instantly appeared on his face, and he almost reflexively stood up quickly, bowing and scraping as he explained.

"Your Excellency, please don't misunderstand. He truly has no relation to us whatsoever. Look at his barbaric and rude demeanor; he's just a savage who hasn't yet opened his intelligence, and he absolutely cannot represent us."

The Decision Maker of Guguo said, secretly observing Pal's expression from the corner of his eye, his heart filled with apprehension.

The Decision Maker of Oulan Country also reacted quickly, similarly standing up in a panic, his forehead covered in sweat, his speech somewhat stammering.

"Yes, yes... Your Excellency, we have steadfastly voted in favor of submitting to you from the very beginning. We deeply revere your strength and authority. This Black Country, it always acts recklessly and lacks manners. Please don't lump them in with us."

The Decision Maker of Oulan Country wished he could express his stance to the fullest to distance himself from the Black Country.

Seeing the Decision Makers of Guguo and Oulan Country behave this way, the representatives of other countries who had voted in favor also chimed in, expressing their positions in a flurry of voices, eager to draw a clear line with the Black Country.

"Yes, yes, the actions of this Black Country have nothing to do with us."

The entire conference room was instantly filled with a chaotic chorus of explanations, everyone fearing that being associated with the Black Country would provoke these mysterious and powerful alien civilizations.

Pal's expression was stern, his gaze like a torch as he looked directly at the Black Country Decision Maker, saying each word distinctly.

"Who am I? I am the representative of the Xili Empire, here on a mission for the Empire. Since you are obstinate and firmly unwilling to submit to us, then only destruction awaits."

Having said that, Pal quickly calculated in his mind. According to the bottom-line standard set by Li Yang, after some mental arithmetic, he determined that the total population of the Black Country, along with the few small countries that voted against, did not reach half of the planet's total population, fully meeting the conditions for extreme measures.

"Hahahaha, then destroy me!"

Upon hearing Pal's words, the Black Country Decision Maker not only showed no fear but instead threw his head back and laughed, his laughter filled with arrogance and ignorance.

"I refuse to believe that our great Black Country can be intimidated by a few mere words from you!"

Even at this moment, the Black Country still stubbornly believed that everything happening before him was merely a trick of some kind of sorcery or evil magic, and he simply did not believe that Pal truly had the ability to destroy his country.

Seeing the other party's stubbornness, Pal no longer wasted his breath.

He spoke directly into the communication device.

"The starship can move now. Execute a destructive strike, target the Black Country."

The starship, which had been waiting in orbit around the planet, immediately activated its propulsion system upon receiving the command, beginning its rapid descent through the atmosphere, preparing to launch a devastating attack on the Black Country's homeland.

After assigning the task, Pal casually waved his hand in the air. Accompanied by a slight energy fluctuation, a massive light screen appeared out of thin air.

The light screen clearly displayed real-time footage of the starship rapidly approaching the Black Country, every detail vividly rendered.

Pal looked coldly at the Black Country Decision Maker and said.

"Watch closely how your so-called great Black Country is destroyed..."

In Pal's eyes, the Black Country's arrogance and ignorance made it seem like an uncivilized entity, and he did not wish for the Empire to accept such citizens from the bottom of his heart.

However, based on his understanding of the Empire's standards, a state like the Black Country would probably not even pass the most basic AI detection... In the distant Capital of the Black Country, the streets and alleys were bustling, and people's conversations revolved around the astonishing and strange event that had occurred a few days prior.

However, just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the originally clear and bright sky gradually darkened without warning.

"Why is it getting dark? Is it going to rain?"

Someone in the crowd murmured in confusion.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and instinctively looked up at the sky. In an instant, their eyes widened, their mouths involuntarily gaped open, and their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

They saw that in the high sky, a colossal object had appeared at some point, its massive body completely blocking out the scorching sunlight.

"Wh-what is that thing?"

A man's voice changed pitch in terror. He tremblingly raised his hand, pointing his finger at the chilling unidentified object in the sky, as if he was nailed to the spot by fear.

And this thing that caused everyone to panic was precisely the starship dispatched by Pal.

This starship was like a gigantic steel fortress floating in the sky. It had an astonishing length of over a thousand meters and a width of several hundred meters. Its hull surface shimmered with the cold luster unique to metal, and its enormous silhouette appeared particularly menacing under the dim sky, bringing an invisible sense of oppression to the people on the ground.

Such an unimaginably massive object, like a world-destroying beast descending from the heavens, instantly terrified everyone.

On the streets of the Capital of the Black Country, people stood frozen, their eyes filled with fear and despair, as if the end of the world had already arrived.

Children cried loudly in fright, clutching tightly to the adults beside them. The adults were also in a panic, their faces ashen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

At the same time, in the conference hall, everyone looked at the massive starship on the light screen, like an interstellar behemoth, with equally shocked expressions, and a chill ran through their hearts.

They instinctively clenched their fists, their breathing becoming rapid and heavy.

At this moment, everyone was immensely grateful for having chosen to submit, secretly thinking that if they had been as stubborn as the Black Country, they would probably now be facing this terrifying power capable of destroying everything.

On the other hand, the Black Country Decision Maker's already dark face now seemed shrouded in dark clouds, becoming even gloomier.

He clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. Although a trace of stubbornness remained in his eyes, there was more uncontainable panic and unease.

Meanwhile, in the Capital of the Black Country, the Soldiers, after a brief moment of shock, finally came to their senses.

Although they didn't know what this thing was, it was clearly not friendly and there was no room for hesitation. They rushed to various anti-aircraft weapons, fumbling to operate them, and fired madly at the starship in the sky.
