Endless Starry Sky.
The massive Celsa Ninth Fortress, like a giant asteroid, sits quietly.
Fortress Core.
Lawrence reclines on the throne.
In front of him floats a large light projection screen.
Within the screen, two powerful figures appear.
The emblems on their shoulders are adorned with four shining stars.
"Haha!"
"Lawrence!"
"I heard you couldn't even conquer an insignificant star realm and got injured here?"
On the screen, a middle-aged man with a rugged beard laughs boisterously.
Valen Edwin, leader of the Celsa Eighth Fortress, like Lawrence, is one of the ten four-star generals of the Selza Civilization.
"Lawrence!"
"We made a continuous long-distance space jump to get here, consuming a lot of resources."
"Excluding the price you previously offered, you must also compensate for this portion of resources."
Compared to General Valen's boisterousness, the other middle-aged man has a sharp, lean face and piercing deep-set eyes.
